Gang of Cutthroats Lying in Wait for Men Returning From the Yukon With Sacks of Dust. BY HAL HOFFMAN., Special Dispatch to The Call JUNEA, Alaska, Sept. 21, via steam- ship City of Topeka to Victoria, Sept. .—The worst crime against returning gold-laden Klondikers, next to thnt} which caused the taking off of the late | “Soapy” Smith at Skaguay, was com- | mitted a few days ago on the Dalton trail. It resulted in the loss of blood | and treasure. Evidently highwaymen | are beginning attacks on successful | gold-s s, and judging from the | way this murder was committed they are old hands at the business. One man | was found with his throat cut and rob- | bed, and two others lost all their gold— | in all about $8600. The news reached here a short time before the Rosalie 31 four men—A. H.

THE WEDDING ON THE YUKON SAN FRANCISCO GIRL BECOMES MRS. VAN ALSTINE. Honeymoon Trip to New York. Mysterious Disappearance of the Young Wife and $38,- 000 in Certificates. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—There has been much mystery during the last few days over the visits of several of Cap- tain McClusky's ablest detectives to an East Side private hospital and to the Hoffman House, and it became known to-day that they were in vain quest for a young bride of three months, a San Francisco woman, who disappeared last Wednesday after a brief stay at the hospitgl. Charles Van Alstine, a typical Klon- dike miner, and a successful one, reg- istered with his bride at the Hoffman House on Wednesdav as coming from Bootin, in the Kiondike District. Van Alstine, after a vain search of three days for his wife, assisted by the en- tire detective bureau, left the Hoffman Hcuse on Saturday morning for the West to continue the search for his strangely missing wife, It was learned only to-day that Mrs. Van Alstine had taken with her $38,100, part of the proceeds of the sale of one of the valuable claims in the Klondike which was owned by her husband and four other Klondike miners. ‘While cruising down the Yukon River Van Alstine met and was smitten with the charms of a young woman who was also a passenger. She told him that she had lived in San Francisco, but had gone to the Klondike on a prospecting expedition and intended to sell some real estate in San Francisclo t did not take much persuasion on the part of Van Alstine to induce the young woman to change her mind, and a par- son being vonveniently at hand on the steamer, the knot which made the couple man and wife was quickly tied and they began life’s journey together. Mrs. Van Alstine, upon reaching San Francisco, quickly disposed of her property, while her husband exchanged his nuggets for drafts on New York banks, and a train was taken for the East, where it was decided that the money should be invested, a good time enjoyed, and then Mr. and Mrs. Van Alstine would return to the Klondike, where he still holds valuable posses- sions which require his attention. Last Monday, at Mrs. Van Alstine’s request, she was taken to a private hospital, claiming to be suffering from nervous prostration. The following day she disappeared, and search for her has been unavailing. Van Alstine told the detectives that he had exchanged the drafts which he had obtained in San Francisco on local banks into certificates of deposit— seven for $5000 each, one for $1000 and one for $500—and had made them pay- able to his wife. He said that for safe- keeping he gave themtohertocarry, and that she always carried them in a little satchel which she took with her when she went to the hospital. He admitted to the detectives that he knew very lit- tle about his wife, having made her ac- quaintance on a Yukon River steam- boat, but said that he was sure she had met with foul play in some way by persons who knew of her possession of money. The detectives are at a loss to solve the mystery, and while they have buoyed Van Alstine up with false hopes they have found absolutely nothing | upon_which to fasten a clew of any sort. From the time the woman walked out of the hospital she has been as com. pletely swallowed up as though she had FATAL RIVALRY OF TWO PRIVATES Edward A. O’Neill Killed John Lunsford. A RESULT OF COMPETITION CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS TRY FOR SUPREMACY. During a Final Test of Skill in Handling Guns One of the Competitors Is Shot in the Heart. BY SOL N. SHERIDAN. Special Correspondence of The Call. CAMP DEWEY, \/iti the American 4-my of Occupation before Manila, August 10—One of those sad tragedies which it seems we human freight can not prevent occurred in camp to-night, throwing a whole regiment into mourning. Private Edward A. O'Neill of Company H, First California Volun- teers, was shot and * antly killed by Private John Lunsford of the ‘same company. The bullet passed through O .veill's left arm, entering the left | breast, plercing the heart and going clear through the body, coming out on | the right side. | The shooting was the result of one of those accidents always the more deeply regretted Dbecause it seems to the friends of the man shot that the merest trifie of care would have prevented a fatal result. It seems that O'Neill and Lunsford for several days past have had a friendly rivalry as to which was the quicker man in going through the manual of arms. They were at their | favorite pastime just before drill to- | night, Private James Dodini giving them the calls, and O’Neill had proved himself the quicker of the two. “Let me try the firing drill,” Luns- ford said. “I can beat you at that.” “Very well,” O'Neill agreed, and Do- dini gave the words: “Present arms! Ready! Fire!” A shot rang out, a bullet whistled through the camp, and O -leill, a gap- ing hole in the left breast, fell dead, and Lunsford fell beside his victim in a dead faint. He had been too eager. He had suffered for a moment from men- tal aberration. One of his comrades had even seen him drop the shell into his gun, and had sprung forward, too late to_save O'Neill. Lunsford had teen too quick alto- gether for his future peace of mind. I saw him immediately after the | body of his victim had been carried | away, in Captain Warren’s tent. He did not then know O'Neill was dead. When Colonel Smith informed him of the fact, he broke down, weeping like Load! Aim! a child. “My God!” he cried. “My God! I did not know what I was doing; I was excited. I had been drinking.” This, by the way, was said in attempted ex- planation, and is not true. It has been proved that Lunsford had not taken a drink all day. “I knew the gun was loaded. It seemed to get away_trom me. I do not chums. O'Neill was one of the most popular boys in the regiment, one of the coolest heads, and Lunsford is well liked. It seems to have been a trick of unkind fate. Of course Lunsford will be taken into custody and held pending an investiga- tion, althcugh I do not well see how anything can be done to him. He is almost insane, as it is, from vain re- morse.
