4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIL, TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1898. PICTURESQUE STAMPEDE TO: DAWSON CITY Ten Thousand Gold-Seek- ers Camped at Bennett and Linderman. Sam Wall, Now Returning to the Klondike, Tells of Tragedies Along the Trails. BY SAM W. WALL. | == | LAKE BENNETT, May 81.—Truly the world has seen nothing since the Crusades so pi:turesque as this stam- pede into the north in search of gold. | Each season seems to develop a feature that forms a more blood-stirring piet- ure than the preceding. When I came | out over the ice in March I met a pro- | cession extending in single file along the trail the whole length of Lakes Ben- nett and Linderman. A few of the over-eager and energetic had alone reached the lower lakes. Every man was harnessed to a sled. Above every sled was spread a sail. The sails were | made of all manner of things, from a flannel shirt or a wiite sheet of can- vas, through the scale of colored and | striped to the black rubier blanket. | With the wind blowing with them fill- | ing their sails and driving a heavy fall | of snow, every man, instead of pulling, exerted his strength to prevent running over the sled in front. Occasionally a| sled got away and turning off the trail | went careening over the wide surface | of the lake until some obstacle over- turned it. I thought this processlon of sailing sleds, extending as far as one could see | | through the mist of snow in both di- rections, was the most remarkable | thing the stampede would see. But | there was still another more striking just at hand. When I left the lakes and began to climb up through the de- file of the mountains that forms the | White Pass I still met this army, still | with its sails spread, filing down. | Horses, oxen, dogs and men were in | the line, struggling now through the snow and over the rocks, here and there a sled with its load overturned or fallen | into some deep crevasse and lost. For these the marching thousands had no | time, but moved on past and down, the broken spaces being quickly closed and the sails showing again continuously, one above another, il, on the far summit, they stood f against th sky or were half obscured in the clouds The winter that then encompassed | everything is now confined to the mountain On the summit of Chilkoot Pass there are still unknown depths of snow. At the scene of the great snow slide it is probably forty feet decp. The day before I passed over it the bodies of two other victims were taken out and it is more than probable still othe ' will be found there. Down below, at Dyea and Skaguay on the one side and at the lakes on the other, the snow has gone and the ice on the lakes is break- | ing and passing. The thousands who | in March were hurrying over the ice in | an effort to get as near the foot of the lakes as possible or were climbing down the west side of the mountains are now camped on the shores of the lake making ready to go down just the mo- ment the jce releases the stream. At the head of Lake Linderman is Linderman, the town. Fully 5000 peo- ple are camped there. Seven miles further down, beyond the little neck of water that divides Linaerman from Bennett, is the town of Bennett, where 5000 more are encamped. Between Lin- derman and Bennett and down the whole length of the chain of lakes the shores are fringed with Klondikers and the whole region is one big boat yard. Sawmills at both Linderman and Ben- nett and others at different points along the shore fill the screaming air with sawdust and turn logs into lumber at 25 cents a foot. All manner of boats are under construction, from the little dory designed for a man with a short outfit, to the big barge upon which horses and cattle with tons of hay and other provisions are to be carried down | to Dawson. The ice about the shores | of both Linderman and Bennett is| melted and, with the direction of the | wind, great floes move to this side and | that. At one time there may be a wide avenue of water on the Bennett side that will invite the eager Klondiker to Jaunch his boat In the hope of getting a mile or so further on his journey. The wind shifts and slowly the wide t avenue closes, the great floe touches the | shore and all within the space is| crushed. Only yesterday a barge that | started on its way thus premature was destroyed and much of the twenty tons of provisions it contained was lost. Rotten as the ice is and has been for weeks still the more reckless and wit- less have ventured on it until within a few days. Ferrymen have carried these out from the shore to the ice and they would make their way over it as far| as possible. But so unsafe has the ice | become and so many fatalities have occurred recently that it is no longer trusted, and those who insist on travel- ing are taking to the side hills. This is very rough going as there is no trail and one must struggle over the rocks and through the underbrush with only “general directions” for a guide, A number of deaths by drowning be- cause of venturing too far over the rot- ten ice are reported. These reports, however, are very unreliable and place the number much too high. For in- stance a story to the effect that seventy persons had been drowned by the crushing of boats in the ice gained wide circulation along the lakes. I find that there is no more truth to it than there was to the story of the death of “Swift- water Bill.” On leaving Bennett to move further down Bill called back to & friend “If anybody asks for me just tell ’em I'm drowned.” . Out of that grew the entertaining obituaries _of “Swiftwater Bill.” That many have been drowned, how- ever, is known, A man with a pack on his back was seen by people of Lin- derman to drop through the ice a few days ago shortiy after being ferried out and starting on a trip to Bennett. A dog team and two of a party of four went through at Caribou Crossing a few days ago. The two drowned were Dug Richards and Thomas Barnes. The other two of the party were ahead of the team and escaped. The sled was heavily loaded and went through, breaking the ice for such an area that the men attending it went down. The lead dog kept its footing on the ice for some time afterward with the weight of the sled and the other dogs hanging | San Fra | into view from the hill top where the | | ceded it in this remarkable drama. | on any one day. | painted on the nose of the craft and | roaming about Dyea and Skaguay pick- to him, but he was finally dragged | down. The bodies of Richards and Barnes were recovered and buried by their friends with proper ceremony on the island in Lake Bennett. Many deaths no doubt have occurred similar to that referred to in Lake Lin- derman, no actual knowledge of which may be had. A mile east of Bennett and a hundred yards out from shore a dog is lying beside a hole in the fast- thinning ice. He has been there for several days. No one may venture on the ice to reach him and he refuses to answer calls from the shore. Beside another such hole in the ice in Lake Linderman, plainly visible from shore when the ice floe is in, lie a man's hat | and a stick. The weather i{s beautiful. The sun is as_warm as it is at this season in cisco. The mosquitoes are here, busy and multiplying. Daylight extends practically througn the twen- ty-four hours and work goes with it in very many of the busy boat yards that form almost the one industry of these little cities on the lakes. Linderman and Bennett are without doubt the | busiest towns of their size in the world | to-day. No idle individual lives within | their boundaries. | The town of Linderman, as it comes trail leads over the divide from Long Lake, looks like the camp of an army. Bennett is also little more than a city | of canvas, but no such view is had of | it. When the ice shall have passed out | leaving the way clear this big army will fold its tents and the two cities will sail and fade away. My notion is that that day will present a spectacle the equal of any of those that have pre- The Northwest mounted police are taking many precautions as against- fa- talities and accidents that may be ex- pected to follow the movement of so many men, not only not in concert and without organization, but every man competing with every other for pre- cedence. When they move there will be a flotilla of about 4000 small boats on | the water, all headed in the same di- | rection, all striving to reach their desti- | nation, if not first at least as near the | front as possible. To prevent a crush an order is out from ¢he police headquarters limiting | the number of boats that shau leave This orcer may have | some effect, but how it may be en-| forced it is difficult to see. Boats are being inspected also and those that are | taking passengers are required to have a certain seaworthiness. Canvas, sec- tional and other boats of doubtful stamp are forbldden to take any but their owners. Every boat is being numbered by the police, its number in black, six inches in length, being the names of all those who go with it registered. This Is a precaution to enable the authorities to follow the his- tory of boat and occupants after they leave here. The stampede is practically at a standstill east and south of the moun- tain tops. Every vessel that comes north brings a certain contingent of men bound “in,” but the number is scarcely appreciable in this crowd. The trails on the south or “outward” side of the mountains have already become muddy and full of trouble for packers, and along the whole length of both the Skaguay and Chilkoot trails is strewn with dead horses and dogs, the traveler being scarcely at any time out of the sight and, most of all, out of the stench of one or the other. At one place on the Skaguay trail there are the bodies of a dozen horses piled together. Many of these were crippled and ..illed during the winter, but for the most part they make up the wrecka e of last summer and fall that have lain under the snow all winter and are now uncovered by the sun to the great distress of those who have to pass this way. The falling off in freight transporta- tion has relieved a great number of horses. of their occupation and they are ing up a precarious living where they can. Many of these will be taken down the river to Dawson. Both Dyea and ssaguay, however, are living in the full hope of a return or resumption of the stampede, deeming it almost certain to follow the arrival of the first treasure ship at S8an Francisco. Almost all the traffic is going over the Chilkoot trail— that is by way of Dyea—as the Skag- uay trail is reported to be almost im- | passable. Building is still going on in the rival town of Skaguay, and her peo- ple are cheerful in the hope of the pro- posed railway. Dyea has completed her dock and wharf, by which deep water vessels may now discharge direct there at any stage of the tide, and the day of the lighter is done. Freight is transported in wagons from Dyea to the canyon and from the canyon by means of the Chilkoot Railroad and Transport | Company's wire trolley and by pack mules to the summit. Even the Indians | no longer use their own shoulders for this purpose. From the scales to the summit there are no less than four dif- ferent wire lines. For, especially dur- ing the winter, while the snow made it comparatively easy, very many hauled | their own goods on sleds as far as the scales and entrusted them to the trolley from there to the su mit. The carriage of goods of every de- scription over this formidable moun- tain pass by means of overhead wires is another of the odd and interesting things developed by the great stam- pede. The Chilkoot Railroad and Trans- port Company claims to be able to carry 175 tons of freight from Canyon City, at the very foot of the mountain, to and over the summit in one day. It can run through the twenty-four hours if necessity requires. The method is very simple. ‘A fixed cable is sus- pended by means of towers. On this buckets are suspended and travel hy means of wheels, grooved so as to fit to and ride easily over the wire. Lower down and nearer the bucket a clutch is fixed that takes hold of a traveling wire which earries the bucket along. It is the principle of the cable car re- versed, having the wheels overhead and traveling upon a suspended track with the moving cable a little lower down and immeaiately above the car, The towers upon which the wire ropes are suspended are placed about one hundred yards apart on ordinarily level ground, but there i{s no attempt to follow the undulations of the land. The buckets ride from hill top to hill top, there being one place where ave: a mile of rope is suspended from towers on each side of a deep ravine. It seems to be a very simple solution of the prob- lem of carrying freight over these mountains. The Chilkoot company, as it is called for short, is building ‘a tramway from Dyea to connect with the end of the wire at Canyon City and will extend its wire shortly to the lakes on the west side of the mountain. At present freight is still transported by dog sleds over the snow on the west side to the foot of Long Lake. A port- age of two miles has to be completed there by pack horses. With this fre- quent change, wagons from Dyea to Canyon City, wire from Canyon City to the summit, dog sled down to Long Lake and thence by pack animal to Linderman, the rate of transportation is but 7 cents a pound—late 48 cents. With the disappearance of the snow and ice on the west side pack animals will have to be resorted to to the foot of the mountains, where boats will take the place of sleds through Round, Deep and Long lakes to Linderman; or, as an _alternative, the old summer trail will be followed. In carrying the war edition of The Call over the summit a train of twelve buckets was employed for the papers alone. In order to make time as well as to make certain of the proper transport of the packages I myself got into a bucket immediately following the train and so rode over the canyons and mountain tops to the summit. My party down the river will con- sist of two others, good rivermen, be- sides myself. Our boat is completed and we will make the start immediately upon the water way being opened. We expect to make the run to Dawson, as one of this big flotilla of little boats, in ten days.

NEW YORK, June 13.—Tomas Es- trada Palma has just issued an appeal for pecuniary aid for the Cuban cause, which he concludes as follow: “If we have not money with which to meet our obligations we expose our- selves to discredit and dishonor among our brethren of the United States who have joined with us to fight for us, and the impression which we would convey JEWISH RABBI A VOLUNTEER Goes to the Front as Chaplain.

Hobart Chetwood, D.D., of Oakland has formally entered upon his new pas- torate of St. Mary's Episcopal Church at this place, taking a pertion of the field formerly covered by Rev. C. 8. Fackenthal. The remainder of the work of this parish—that in the dis- tricts of Monterey and Del Monte—will be performed by Rev. L, Delos Mans- fleld of Ban Jose, who will come down each week to conduct the services. main on the coast several weeks. My trip across the continent has been a most pleasant one and all of my meet- ings have been most enthusiastic and appreciative. My congregation in Phil- | adelphia has not only consented to my enlistment with the Pennsylvania Vol- unteers but has signified its intention to continue my present salary as its rabbi until I shall return.” President Woodruff of the Mormon Society of Salt Lake was so pleased with the rabbi's recent address to the people of that city that he extended him an invitation to conduct services in the great tabernacle. This is the first time in the history of Mormonism that a Jew or a Gentile has been given such invitation. The rabbi has accepted it, however, and will etop over in the Mor- mon city on his return. Rabbi Levy was for a number of| years a resident of California, and was the rabbi of the Jewish Synagogue in this city. MONTEREY’S NAVAL RESERVE DEFRAUDED Manager of a Benefit Entertain- ment Departs With Box Office Recelpts. MONTEREY, June 13.—Willlam Lan- sing, a man announcing himself as a retired actor, recently appeared in Monterey, coming here for his health, he sald, and was engaged by some of the young people to coach them for amateur dramatics. The little company made such rapld progress under him that it offered to give a performance for the benefit of the Monterey Naval Reserve. The performance was a great success financially, but Lansing, who had charge of the box-office receipts, was very slow in settling. When at last he could delay settlement no longer he decamped, carrying all the receipts with him, Besides the amount belonging to the Naval Reserve, Lansing took a large sum due the printers both here and in Pacific_Grove for advertising matter, and J. W. Bagley, owner of the theater in which the performance was given, the costumers and others were left un- paid. Steps were at once taken for the arrest of Lansing, but up to this time he has not been found. Disastrous Incendiary Fire. ERIE, Pa., June 13—The business part of the town of Spartansburg, Pa., was wiped out by a fire which started at 1:30 this morning and is supposed to be of incendiary origin. The large business houses, all wooden structures, with their conte! ‘were burned, besides pumerous smaller ones. The loss is $150,000, and 1s almost total. The fire burned itself out, as the town is without facilities to sub- due conflagrations. g Mt A R e Granted American Registry. ‘WASHINGTON, -June 13.—Before pro- :leedlnx w;th the Hawallan debate the ouse to-da sed some bills grant) American reg :tae‘n to the steamers VH torla, Olympla, Arizona, Columbla, Ar- _Ele!

Justice Meted to a Man Past Life’s Meridian Who Killed the Mere Child He Professed to Love, Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. GREAT BEND, Kans., June 13.—In the public square, fronting on the prin- | cipal business street of this city, a murderer was lynched at 8 o’clock this | evening by a mob of probably 500 per- sons. It is estimated that at least 1000 | of Great Bend’s population of 2500 per- sons witnessed the tragedy. The vic- tim was John Becker, a white man, 50 | ‘years of age, who, on April 8, killed Myrtle Huffmeister, the 16-year-old | daughter of William Huffmeister, a | farmer living midway between Great Bend and Ellinwood. Becker was employed by the farmer and professed passionate love for the dau’ghter. The tragedy followed the girl's refusal to accept his advances. When the girl came to the stable In the | evening Becker shot her to death, send- ing eight bullets into her body, after | which he set fire to the farmer's | stables. At first it was reported the | murderer had shot himself and had died | in the flames, but later it became | known that he had fled and search was | instituted. On April 13 a posse of farm- | ers captured the murderer near St. John, Stafford County, and for safe keeping he was taken by the Sheriff to Hutchinson, there having been many threats that he would be lynched if brought here. This_morning Becker was brought from Hutchinson to be put upon his preliminary examination. Early in the day farmers from the neighborhood of his crime began coming into town and by 6 o'clock this evening the streets were thronged. Then, when it became known the murderer had been granted a change of venue to Lyons and that Sheriff Abeer would take nis prisoner east on the Santa Fe train this even- ing there were signs of threatened trouble, as a big crowd began to gather at the railroad depot. Sheriff Abeer, appreciating the danger, took Becker into a buggy and started for a cross- ing east of the city, intending to flag the'train there. By this time the crowd at the depot was openly threatening a lynching. ‘When the train pulled in the purpose of the Sheriff’s strategy had become ap- parent to all. The would-be lynchers, quick to act, boarded the train and rode on.. When the Sheriff at the cross- ing saw the train was crowded to the guards he did not flag it, but hurriedly drove back to Great Bend with his prisoner. At Dartmouth the lynching party left the train and started back to this city, having hired all the con- veyances available there. Sheriff Abeer had hurried back and lodged his pris- oner at the County Jail. A few minutes before 8 o'clock the mob was swarming round the jail. Evi- dently believing that he could outwit the lynchers by flight, the Sheriff rushed Becker out of the jail to his buggy, but he had no sooner done so than he and his men and the prisoner were surrounded. The Sheriff, aided by his deputies, made a stubborn defense, and the prisoner, realizing the fate that threatened him, fought desperately with them. After they had fought their way back almost to the entrance to the Jail, the mob, through sheer force of numbers, prevailed. Securing the mur- derer, it bore him away to the public square. A rope was drawn around Becker's neck, and after he had been beaten al- most to Insensibility the rope was thrown over a limb of a big tree and he was drawn up. Some one in the crowd gave the body a push, and as the mur- derer was being drawn up, his body re- peatedly swung back, scraping upon the trunk of the tree. The Sheriff and his men kept close upon the heels of the lynchers, but they were held back for fully fifteen min- utes, when, it being apparent Becker was dead, the mob quickly melted away and the murderer's body was cut down by the Sheriff and the Coroner. Though revolvers were drawn and threats were made, no shots were fired by the Sheriff and his men in their struggle against the lynchers. Many of the lynching party must be known to the county peace officers, but to-night there is no very strong talk of arrests. The sentiment here seems to be that if 3\'er a man deserved lynching Becker id. Becker is said to come of a prosper- ous family at Marion, Ill. Attorney W. ‘W. Duncan was here from Marfon to defend him, and it is stated that insan- ity was to have been the murderer’s de- fense. Assistant Trafic Manager. NEW YORK, June 13—The announce- ment is made that W.
