There are tales of disaster and tragedy, of blasted hopes and good for- tune; a love story with a problematicol ending, and many sudden deaths. Of the '15% people who rushed to Kotzebue in search of a fortune twenty-nine are sa‘d to have lost their lives in the treacher- ous waters of the Kubuck River. Stranze to say, not one of the men who came down on the Northern Light can tell the names. of those who perished. All they can tell is that a launch was sunk in such and such a place; a landslide covered a boat at another point on the river, while yet another launch struck a snag and went down with all hands.

In June of this year her deposition was taken and she con- cealed the fact of this marriage to T: lor. When she discovered that the attor- | neys of the opposition knew of her union iwi!h Taylor she then had recourse to a | story about seeing an article in the pa. pers which reported a wreck of a bark- entine on which her husband had sailed. According to her story all the crew was Teported lost. Her testimony in the dep- osition shows that she could not recollect the name of the v el, the captain or any of the crew. She also stated that after she read of the loss of the ship on which her husband had salled to his death she made inquiries of the Lynde- Hough Company of this city and was in- formed there that the news was true. | . Lawrence Noonan, the president of the Lynde - Hough ~Company, admits that Carrie had called at his office, but he says that she was informed that her hus- Falkenberg, and that she left a letter to be delivered to him upon his return. A month after this she married one Swee- | ney in Los Angeles. This was in Ma | 1897. _In December of the same year Car- | rie Walton married McDermott. Prev ous to her marriage with Taylor she was united in the sacred bonds of matrimony with Frank Walton, who was her first venture. | The attorneys have no trace of Swee- | ney, but they claim to have found Ta: lor, and on-this they will build their ca: to' wrest the $10,000 from the much- spoused lady which McDermott has left her. HOW CRIMINALS GO | UNWHIPPED OF JUSTICE AFTER ROBBING CHEW SING HE LEFT TO AVOID ARREST. | Somebody Has TUsed Influence Shield a Man Charged With a State Prison Offense. to The usual serenity that surrounds the proceedings in Judge Low’s court was suidenly disturbed yesterday morning when it was ascertained that the com- plaint charging Charles Smith with high- way robbery was missing. Smith, with four others, met Chew Sing, a Chineso fruit peddler, on Twentieth anl Capp strects on the morning of June 18 and uncercmoniously stood him up and relieved him of $13. The assault was wit- nessed by Rev. Mr. Kilgrew from his win- dow at 3416 Twentleth street, and he gave the alarm. The sudden interruption frightened the highwaymen and attracted the attention of the police, and they ar- rested Ed and James Terry, Louis Cuneo and another young man named Carr. In the meantime Charles Smith made his escape by jumping fences and secreting himself in the railroad sheds until he boarded an outgoing freight train and made his way to Castroville, where he re- malned until last week. Then he returned to the city. He was seen on last Sun- day night on Folsom street by Police Oui- cer Nell Reardon, who recognized nim. Reardon took him to the Central Station ond booked him on the charge of robbery. When the case was_ called on Monday morning it was found that the complaint was nowhere to be found. Clerk Phil Haskins could give no satisfactory ex- pianation as to why so important a docu- ment should be out of the custody of the regular officers of ‘the court. Judge Low was equally as uncommunicative regard- | ing the missing complaint. Every drawer and pigeonhole In and about the court room was searched, but no sign of the important document was forthcoming. 0 make matters still worse the China- man, Chew Sing, could not be found, al- though there was a subpoena issued for his appearance. Not to be undone by any of the tricks of the “push,” Captain Gii- len specially detalled Officers Reardon and Jumes A. Feeney to find the missing Chinaman. This they succeeded in doing after a hard struggle among the Mon- olian herde, at 518 Front street, where le hargs out. The officers took Chew Sing to the prison yesterday afternoon, wiere he fully identified Smith as the one who robbed Eim. A new complaint will be sworn out to-day and the loss of the missing complaint will avail the highway- man with the “push’ nothing, as he will now have to stand trial. KILLED BY A FALL.

H. | Gustave Wasker, a janitor, was instant-| up on the Northern Light. They did not likke the prospects and returned. The other passengers (148 all told) decided to | remain and try their luck.

Now, the Alaska, although she before’ the Northern Light, had to stop at St. Lawrence Island to build a river boat. So the Northern Light was the first to reach Kotzebue Sound.

Absence mu the heart grow fonder, for W Northern Light left the Sound twenty- eight days ago Mrs. Hermann had been installed as cook of Charley’s camp, and “all went merry as a marriage bell.” Mrs. Hermann's husband and child are still in San Francisco. Mate Tilton of the Northern Light is the man who performed the marvelous feat of walking across Alaska in the dead of winter with news from the imprisoned whalers at Point Barrow. In talking about the Kotzevue Sound rush he said: “Nearly all the people who went up left | 32!222S’i39222233&3333&838382&82828882888832888232825388 there will remain all winter. ~About seventy-five men have got cold feet and will come back wth taes of hard luck, but T believe that many of those who have remzined behind will strike it rich.

Impressions of a California Soldier " Narrated to the Ladies of the Forum Club. The Forum Club gave another ch: ' m- ing reception and entertainment yester- day in Sherman & Clay Hall on Sutter street, Mrs. F. L. Whitney presiding. Mrs. J. P. Young received the members and guests as they arrived. After the regular business of the organization was transacted Sidney Drew, the actor, read an interesting paper upon his experience at a benefit in a small theater in the West End of London. He also recited a couple of short poems, which were well appre- ciated. A cornet solo by Louis Harrison recelved much applause. An interesting address was given by Samuel Shortridge on “The Late War With Spain,”in_which he advocated the holding of the Philip- pine Islands. Just before refreshments were announced Lieutenant L. M. Welch, formerly of the Twenty-fourth Uhnited States Infantry. but now of the Twen- tieth, told of his experience before Santi- ago, Cuba. ieutenant Welch is the son of the well- known Dr. Welch of this city. The young man is a graduate of West Point, and at | the breaking out of the war he was with his regiment at Fort Worth, Utah. In his address the young soldier made no at- tempt at oratory, but told in an unaffect- ed manner of what he had seen and heard. His style of narration quickly found favor with his audience. At times the humorous side of army Scenes was presented in a way that shows that a sol- dier can appreciate fun as well as fight- ing. His address took the form of a run- ning narrative of what happened from the time his regiment broke camp to the time that he was laid low on the battle- field of Santlago with that dread disease, vellow fever, which made his return to civilization necessary. Of the movements of the army, the quickness and dispatch in doing things the lieutenant spoke in the highest praise. The reception of the soldiers at Tampa, Florida, he said, was nothing like that given to those who came to San Fran- cisco. Here they were well cared for by the citizens, but there they were regarded as a legitimate prey. Prices were doubled for all articles of trade, and it was not long before shop-keepers who had pre- viously been barely making a llving were rolling in money and overbearing in man- n er. For the Cubans proper Lieutenant Welch has but little respect. They seem to have but two ambitions—to steal and eat, and to avold work as though it was another form of “yellow jack.” In contrast to his opinion of the na- tives of Cuba the young officer has the highest respect for the army mule, which is a hero, carrying ammunition and food into the ver{l eart of the fighting, liv- ing on what he could get, and never com- plaining. The conduct of the Spanish sharpshooters in disregarding all rules of civilized warfare in shooting wounded soldiers and Cross nurses was de- nounced by the American. It was a mat- ter of the deepest 1 t of Lieutenant Welch that he should haverbeen attacked by the fever and prevented from enjoy: ing all of the experiences of the Cuba campaign. However, he had the satista tion of being present at the surrender of Santlago. —_———— KARSSA’S PRETTY DAUGHTER. She Does Not Want to Be Married, 1 She Says. She does not want to be marrled, de- | clares Wadeha, the pretty daughter of Abdullah Karssa, nor was she ever ask- ed or expected to peddle her father’s wares. Joseph Rahy, who is under ar- rest for disturbing the peace of her father, has been talking about her, and she objects to his remarks. If Wadeha were not so pretty she would have less trouble with ardent suit- ors, but as it is she has them by the score, and among them is a taflor who employed Rahy to do his courting. When Rahy was denied the hand of the fair Syrian for his friend, he began to make remarks, and then getting bolder he made threats. For that he was arrested. He sald the girl wanted to be married, and that her father refused to allow her, because he wanted her to peddle his goods in the country. She denles this. She does not want to be married, she says, and if she did she is syre her father would allow her to do so, and her father never asked her to peddle his wares. He is very good to her, she says, and it was wicked of Rehy to speak of her as he did. e The famous old JESSE MOORE WHISKY is | recommended by physiclans for family and medicinal use because it is pure. —————————————— RAILROAD COMMISSION. Pullman Matters Laid Over and Communications on Hand. At the meeting of the Railroad Com- missioners yesterday afternoon the in- quiry into the affairs of the Pullman Company with a view to enforce a re- duction of charges was postponed for two weeks.

Without the knowledge or consent of Fire Marshal Towe Mrs. Shields was taken before the Insanity Com- missioners yesterday morning for examination. Dr. Wadsworth ques- tioned the woman at some length and announced that he could not discover any evidence of insanity, although she was undoubtedly labor- ing under mental excitement and exhaustion. At this point Judge Hebbard asked if the woman was charged with any offense, and on being told that there was a charge of arson pending against her ordered further proceed- ings stopped. “This is a matter for the trial Judge and a jury to pass upon,” he said. *“The woman is.charged with a felony and must stand trial. It is for a jury to declde whether she is a responsible person.” That ended the examination, and Mrs. Shields was taken back to the hospital. Henry Beacom, the alleged accom- plice of Mrs. Shields in_setting fire to_the Virginia-avenue house, was taken before Police Judge Mogan yesterday for preliminary examina- tlon. Mrs. Shields was not in court, but Attorney Meredith, the law gnrmer of Judge Evans, Mrs. hields’ attorney, asked for a con- tinuance for a week owing to the absence from the city of Judge Evans. “It was only fair that the woman’s interests should be prop- erly looked after during the examin- ation,” he said, “‘and for that reason he asked for the continuance.
