Last Saturday a torn pa ny of fivo
soldiers from K company, 30tli In
fantry U. S. A., now stationed at
Fort Seward, left Wells for the re
turn to Halnos from a hunting trip,
and decided to build a raft and float
down the Chllcat.
Tho raft was constructed and
safely launched and tho party start
ed down the river. All went well
until tho 14-mllo post was roached,
where the raft struck a snag In tho
river and upset, throwing tho men
into tlie cold, madly rushing waters.
All of the party were able to
swim with tho cxcoption of Private
Gallaghor, who recently returned
from Snu Francisco, where ho had
been sent for medical care, and not
[being in the best of health, and un
able to cope with the strong cur
' rent of the river at this point, was
drowned before his comrades could
savo him.
A detail was immediately de
spatched from the post to look for
the bR'ly of the drowned man, but
up to the time 'ho Peterson left this
m< ruing ? o tra-c was found A de
tail of fojir mon will be kept con
tinually on the watch patrolling the

Oovornor Sulzer la being held and
this morning Hugh Rellly, a promin

fied that Governor Sulzer owed him
$26,000, of which amount over half
was borrowed. When asked as to
tho dates and particulars regarding
t lie financial transactions, it was
brought out that tho govornor had1
borrowed over ten thousand dollars
immediately following his nomlnatlo}
and that the othor transactions cov-!
ored a period of years.
For a time yesterday it looked ns
though James Williams (Natlvo)
would be out one motor bont'f as hi
craft, while tied up at the float at!
Moore's wharf, became foul of the
lines, and as tho tide raised the;
boat was held down, and was swamp
ed. When the tldo went out, how-;
over, the launch was pulled up on '
shore, and with tho exception of tho
loss (f the batteries, and a gener
al soaring of tho engluo and the
