MET HIS DEATH IN THE YUKON'S WATERS CAPT. DOUGLAS BARNES LOST NEAR RAMPART CITY. Served as a Member of the Oakland City Council and Represented So- lano in the Legislature. ALAMEDA, July 27.—Captain Douglas G. Barnes of 637 Taylor avenue is sup- posed to have lost his life in the Yukon on June 10. He was a member of the Leonard party, which wintered at Ram part ( He had withstood the rigors of the Alaskan climate better than the young men of the party, although he was nearly 74 years old. Captain Barnes had occupied much of his time during the winter building a small sailing boat, and it was while tak- ing a pleasure trip in the craft that he is supposed to have perished. After he had cruised about for some time his friends on shore saw his boat whirl around in a manner that indicated plainly that the craft had been caught in one of the treacherous whiripools of the Yukon. The boat capsized and in a few minutes was carried out of sight by the swift current below a group of i{slands. Next day the boat was found stranded on the shores of the river twenty miles from where it had capsized. There is a possibility that Cap- tain Barnes saved himsecif and made his way to some camp remote from communi- cation with members of his party. An Indian reported that he saw him clinging to the bottom of the boat as it disap- peared among the islands. Captain Barnes was a native of New York, and would have been 74 vears old next Tuesday. He came to California in 1849. He established the first planing mill in Oakland in 1 and in the early sixties was a member of the Council of that city. Later he represented Solano County in the Legislature for three terms. He came to Alameda eight years ago and lived here until he went to the Klondike. He was a prominent member of the Encinal Yacht Club and was a skillful sailor. Mrs. Barnes stili resides In this city. Harry Barnes, a_son, is in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company. RETURNED FROM THE EAST WITH A BRIDE OAKLAND, July 27.—1. D. Martin, prin- cipal of the Piedmont school. has just re- turned from Dayton, Ohio, a benedict. The wedding took place at the latter place on the 13th inst.., Rev. Mr. Garland of- ficlating, and the bride was formerly Miss Emma Foreman, a popular teacher in the Dayton public schools.

OAKLAND. July 27.—The fondest hopes of Rev. C. H.
