Searching Parties Leave Flag- staff and Find the Couple. —_— FLAGSTAFF, Ariz, Oct. 19.—Two well known young people, Leo Verkamp of Flagstaff and Miss Mabel Brown of Chi- cago, became separated from their party at Sunset Crater in the lava beds, twenty miles northeast of Flagstaff, yesterday afternoon and were not found until to-day. A party was made up for a trip to Sunset Crater in honor of Miss Brown, who is visiting her brother, head book- keeper for the Arizona Lumber and Tim- ber Company of this place. They reached their destination safely and after some time spent in exploring ihe crater started to return. Verkamp and Miss Brown were on horseback in advance of the remain- der of the party, who were driving. This was the last seen of the couple. Those in the rig went home, thinking the couple on horseback were In advance. A searching party was out all night, but failed to locate the missing ones, and re- turned at 10 o’'clock this morning for re- inforcements and several large posses were at once started to the vicinity. Verkamp is cashier of Babbitt Bros.’ large mercantile house, and much anx- ety is felt lest some serious accident has befallen the missing couple. Word reached here to-night that the missing couple had turned up at a ranch to-day eighteen miles northwest of Flag- staff on the opposite side of the San Francisco peaks from their starting point and about fifty miles out of their way. Losing the road, they evidently became confused and followed the mountains to the right Instead of to the left. They spent the entire night traveling and were nearly exhausted from expo- sure and thirst. It is feared the expe- rience will yet result seriously with Miss Brown, who has recently recovered from a sick spell. The main party of search- ers are still on the northeast side of the mountain, unaware that the missing couple have been found, and it will be a late hour to-night befcre a messenger can reach them. @ -ieiieieimfeimiieimieemieoimteieieieli 0 STANDS OF BEES FUEL FOR FLAME Valuable Apiaries De- stroyed in the Ojai Valley. — e Bpectal Dispatch to The Call.

Passengers May Be Exposed to Severities of Arctic Winter. —_—— Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars and tae Mails Delayed Because of Obstructions in the Water- way to Dawson —_— DAWSON, Oct. 19.—Sixteen river steam- ers are battling against the floating ice in the Yukon, in serious danger of being caught in such positions that they will be crushed next spring. Unless the river clears itself of ice for a few days non of those boats will be able to reach its destination. Running ice fills the river from bank to bank all the way from La Barge to Eagle on the American side. The condition s unprecedented+so early in the year, Three of the steamers, owned by the White Pass and Yukon Line, are on their way up the Yukon from Dawson with 150 passengers each. They may not be able to proceed more than a third or a half of the distance. They have al- ready been two days making fifty miles against the running ice. If these boats fall to get through their passengers will have to walk hundreds of miles. Many are not warmly clad and extreme suffering would result from such exposure, The malls and several hun- dred thousands of dollars in gold ship- ments are aboard these steamers, Five White Pass and two Independent steamers are scattered along the river be- tween White Horse and Dawson bound this way. They are carrying 200 tons of cargo each, The number of passengers is not known here. Five lower river steamers are laboring up stream toward this city. All the North- ern Commercial Company’s steamers got past Eagle and are now involved in the ice. The steamer Susie of that line was the first to succumb, having been disabled twelve miles below this city to-day, The steamer Kerr,-laden with 500 tons of refrigerated meats from Tacoma for the Pacific Cold Storage Company, has not yet reached Eagle. FEarly in the month it became apparent that she could not get through without assistance on ac- count of the low water in the lower river and the steamer Lightning was dis- patched to her relief. The Lightning is now supposed to be with her, and to- gether they may pull through. More than 2000 tons of freight remained In the blockade at White Horse when the last steamer started down the river. ——— WAR MANEUVERS PLEASE THE MILITARY UMPIRES Two Distinct Affairs Are Successfully Carried Out at Fort Riley Reservation.

Colonel Duncan, however, kept steadily on his way and although his “'losses’” were considerable because of the preponderating fire the Browns brought against him, managed to reach his camp without being cut oft. He fought vigorously and damaged the Browns badly. The second exercise was exactly similar, the rear guard being commanded by Col- onel Jacob Kline of the Twenty-first In- fantry, and the pursters by Lieutenant Colonel Steever of the adjutant general’s staff. The weather was ideal throughout and the exercises were considered by the um- pires to be a great success. —_——— Bank Must Pay Edson’s Shortage. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Rev. John P.

PRIGONER WALKS FROM THE TRAIN Mail Thief Bell Gives Deputy Marshals the Slip. gt PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19.—Albert B. Bell, the mail pouch thief and forger, who was brought to this city from Denver by Deputy United States Marshals D. H. Baker and Alva Davis, to-day eluded his guards and Is now at liberty. When the train reached the Pennsylvania Railroad station Davis and Bell went to the toilet apartment of the Pulilman car, and while the deputy marshal was washing his face the prisoner walked to the platform of the car, mingled with the orowd of pas- sengers'and disappeared. For nearly three hours after the swindler had made his escape Davis and Baker wandered about in search of him. Finally they notified the local police authorities. Government and city detectives are now endeavoring to locate Bell, but he has the advantage of a long start and the officers are with- out a clew. Bell was arrested while he was 1l in a hospital at Denver. He canfessed to having stolen a mall pouch contalning about 1200 checks from an express train of the Pennsylvania Ratlroad at German- town Junction, this city, on the night of September 8. for his appearance In the United States District Court here. In custody of Depu- ties Davis and Baker, the prisoner left Denver for this city Friday afternoon. As he was still suffering from the effects of the {liness which took him to the Den- ver hospital, the officers did not deem it necessary to shackle him. He was ac- companied as far as Pucific Junction by Mrs. Sharp, who was arrested with him, but later discharged. The trip to Phila- delphia was uneventful until this city was reached. Deluded by the tractability of the prisoner, the deputies failed to guard him carefully and bis escape was ren- dered easy. ————— ADVISES INDICTMENT OF WHITAKER WRIGHT e il Recorder of London Delivers Strong Charge to Grand Jury Against ‘Well-Known Promoter.

C., Oct. 19.—Quong Yuen, an aged and decrepit Chinese, with two fellow countrymen, the latter fairly wealthy men, were arrested two months ago for the murder of a fourth Chinese. Quong was really held as a material wit- ness against the other two. Now the police are sure he has entered into an agreement to hang in their stead, in or- der that his widow and family in China may be well provided for when he dies. Quong at first said that he knew noth- ing about the murder at all. He declared that he was not even in the neighborhood. The police belleved this story, but con- sidered it necessary to hold him as a wit- ness. To-day Quong, who is fast nearing the end of his life, sent for the police offi- cials and said that he had killed the man and was willing to hang for it. The man who was murdered was strong and large and the officials consider it an impossi- bility that Quong should have actually killed him with a knife and dragged him 20 yards. Quong declared, however, he did the deed and expressed great anxiety to see the other two men cleared. Similar cases are on record among the Chinese. ADVERTISEMENTS. Vack.
