Bear Creek Dredge Munifi
cent Success
The big dredge of the Canadian-!
Klondike Company, at the mouth of:
Hear creek. on the Klondike river, is'
proving a success beyond the greatest j
expectations of its promoters. It is
said the company will almost, or quite, !
succeed in taking out enough money
this year to pay for the $750,000 plant I
that was not installed until the season
was well advanced.
George Margraves, one of the owners
of the company, arrived from the inte
rior the other dav on his way to the,
east. He sars in all probability the]
company will put in two more dredges 1
nest year.

Oapti Jarvis Made Eskimos
Behave
The Nome Nugget recently paid a
high compliment to the executive abil
ity of Capt. Jarvis and to the effective
manner in which he used it for the
benefit of the Eskimos and the white
people of Nome.
The Nugget said:
"Drunken and half drunken natives
make night hideous on the Sandspit
and in the east end of town, it is re
ported. If an Eskimo has the where
withal he can always obtain a supply
of hootch, and when he has acquired a
jag his animosity against the white
man comes to the surface and he asserts
his privilege of getting drunk and per
haps shooting up the town.
?'The natives, however, are slowly
leaving for their winter homes. When
Capt. D. H. Jar vis was still in the rev
enue cutter servica, along about this
time of year, when in Nome, he would
visit the natives' camp and quietly tell
them that by midnight of next day he
did not want to see a native boat on
the sandspit or elsewhere. The natives
know Capt Jarvis and the Bear, and
the hint was always suffcient. Bv
midnight the last boat tilled with Es
kimos could be seen moving to the
westward."

The Haunted Man
The doctor said It was a singular
case, but by no means a rare one. Gor
don Combs by name-a bachelor of
thirty-five, wealthy and taking lite
easy, had suddenly become possessed
of the Idea that he was haunted.
"Just what sort of a feeling Is tliis
that comes over you?" was asked.
"It Is easily described. It Is as lr
one were waiting for a dear friend to
die? a feeling of awe-a state of sus
pense, and now aud then I And myself
cringing, as If some one was aiming a
blow at me."
"Crash! Zip!"
"That was from an air gun," said the
doctor after throwing up the window
nnd looking out, and then turning to
the bullet Imbedded In the wall.
"And fired at mo," added Combs.
??Undoubtedly, as you were facing
the window and I could not be seen.
Your enemy is In one of those houses.
He fired from roof or window. Ono of
them Is a rooming house, and It was
likely from that." n
"It-It might have been an accident, '
suggested the patient.
"Possibly, but I don't think so. Your
case has gone beyond me. Put It Into
the hands of the police."
Combs went to the police and report
ed the affair as probably an accident
but asked that they find out If any
bov or man living In any of the houses
hail an alrgun. There had been no re
port and no powder smoke. Inside of
two days a detective assured him that
such a thing as an air gun had never
been seen about any of the houses. The
bachelor made up his mind that It was
an accident, but that the shooter had
lied about It, and he tried to dismiss it
from his mind. He had the feeling of
fear yet, but he did not go back to the
doctor. He determined to fight against
and conquer It. Two days later at the
club he ordered a drink, which was not
brought to him Immediately, as the
waiter had to serve another order first.
When the wlno cnine It sat at his el
bow untasted while he conversed with
an acquaintance who had Just come In.
"Hello," said the gentleman, as his
eyes lighted on the glass, "but the col
or of that wine is way off tonight. Let
mo see."
He held It ui> between his eye and
the light for a moment and then said:
"I don't like the looks of this at all.
Let xne take It to Peter's aud have him
analyze It."
"For whatY"
"For knockout drops."
j "Bosh! And lo our own club too!"
Next day the chemist reported that
the wine had been poisoned. The waiter
explained that he had left It a moment
uu watched before bringing it to Combs,
but neither he nor any of the others had
seen a strange person about. The mat
ter was kept a secret between three or
four members of the club, and Combs
did not go to the police until a fort
night later. Then he went because a
third attempt had been made.
"You have got a deadly enemy." said
the detective to whom the case was
given, "aud you must set your memory
at work and try to give me a pointer.
This unknown 1* doubtless a man, and
he wants your life mighty bad. What
man have you ever had serious trouble
with?"
"No man on earth, and I pledge you
my honor on thnt," was the reply.
"Well, then, what -woman?"
"None ? absolutely none."
"Well, here are three dastardly at
tempts and no clew. I don't see what
we can do but wait for the fourth and
hope that something may turn up."
Combs waited. He could do nothing
but wait. Three weeks later, as he
went to the stables for his horse and a
gallop In the park, he accidentally dis
covered a strong pin thrust through the
flap of his saddle In such a way that 11
must have sharply pricked his leg had
he mounted. No man about the stables
knew of the pin, and yet a chemist
said that its point had been steeped in
a deadly poison. Then the detective
suggested that the victim make a se
cret departure from the city and go
abroad for a few months. This advice
was followed. The man was fast be
coming a nervous wreck, and he real
ized that he must get from under the
shadow or collapse. No one could have
made a more secret departure, and yet
when the steamer bound for London
was three days out he discovered that
his box of favorite cigars had been
meddled with and probably poisoned.
On landing In London Combs em
ployed a privato detective to accom
pany him and started for Switzerland.
Every precaution was used In getting
away and In reaching a place off the
traveled route, ond for a month the
hunted man had peace. There was no
other guest at the chalet where the
two found lodgiugs, and It was some
miles to the nearest village or hotel.
One day the bachelor, who was now re
gaining his lost flesh -and spirits, went
up the mountain to a peculiarly shaped
spot called the basin. It was a quiet
retreat, and it had become his habit to
read and smoko there when the weath
er was pleasant On this day the de
tective accompanied him, but had
fallen asleep after finishing his cigar.
Suddenly the old feeling came back
to Combs. He fought with It for five
minutes, and than started up with a
groan on his lips. He had not yet
reached his feet when a great rock
weighing a ton or more came tumbling
down Into the sink and struck him
fairly and crushed the life out of him
In an instant The detective awoke
and sprang up -and rushed vp the
path, but no one was In sight. He lis
tened, and what he thought be heard
was the faint sounds of footsteps run
ning away through the fir trees. He
saw no one; he could not be sure that
any human being had been within
half a mile of the place, and yet Gor
don Combs lajfdead beneath the rock
that human hands had set rolling.
