It even has been necessary to place guards on the coal plles. Private “grub” caches also have been disturbed. YOUNG AMERICA VS. BRITONS. International Combat at a Dawson Schoolhouse. SEATTLE, Feb. 9.—The sight of the Stars and Stripes waving over a school- house at Dawson, Northwest Territory, in the King's domain, was the cause of a pitched battle between young America on one side and the youthful adherents of Edward VII on the other. The resu’ from a physical standpoint appears o have been a draw. The matter was taken up by thé American Consul and after a thorough investigation a settlement was reached satisfactory to all concerned. A thoughtless young American was the cause of the trouble. He did not realize the significance of his act when he pinned the Stars and Stripes to the English flag- tafr. “‘When the Britishers saw it they were indignant and without any diplomatic in- tercourse war was declared. America re- spong;d with alacrity and a hot fist battle ensued. Funeral of Charles Hohmann. SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 9.—The funeral of FEBRUARY 10 | Mrs. Stark retu 1901.
