ANOTHER STORY OF
THK TESLIX DISCOVERY
A Seattlu paper of the fifteenth
prints the roUowtu*:
W. Herchberger, discoverer of the
Newsboy mine, in the Fairbanks
district is registered at the Frye. j
Mr. Herchborgre tells of hearing of
the wealth of the new diggings re
ported by Skookum Jim in the Atlin
country from an old prospector who
U now living in Bast Sound, before
any news of the present strike had
been made public. This prospect
or was In the coyntry a number of
years ago with a party, many of
whom died of ?curvy. The prospect
t'i himself fell from a rim rock
while hunting sheep, and broke his
hip. He was cared for by the In
dians and conveyed to Wrangell.
He has been badly crippled ever
since and unable to undertake any
active work.
Last fall he told Mr. Hirchberger
that he and his companions, who
suffered from the scurvy, had work
ed claims on a creek between
seventy and seventy-two miles eust
of Atlin, where gold the size of
wheat kernels lay on the surface,
he Bald that they had nev<?r gone
down further than sis feet, and
that the rich dirt continued to that
depth. The location given by this
crippled prospector is Identical with
that of the* creeks supposed to have
been discovered by J. W. Glover's
partner, who reported gold at $6
a pan, and Perry Delo, the Seattle
boy who stampeded into the new
diggings Inst winter, and reported
.* rich country, with only a small
portion of the creeks staked.
These creeks are believed by local
mining men to be other than those
reported bySkookum Jim. They are
of the opinion that this country re
ferred to by the prospector who
told Mr. llerchberger this story Is
iu the same general locality, but
some sixty mlleB northeast of the
Silver and Moosehorn creeks, dis
covered by the Teslin Indians, and
which Skookum Jim reported to the
world. It Is also bellved that many
o* those who stampeded Into the
new country have located on these
creeks Instead of those reported by
?hn Indians.
Character.
According to an old French saying.
"A rnaii '8 character Is like his shadow,
which sometimes follows and some
times precedes him and which Is ac
casionally longer, occasionally shorter
than he Is."
Jet.
Jet, that substance from which
many articles of ornament are made,
very closely resemble* ordinary coal.
It Is formed, like coul. from wood and
vegetable mutter. It differs from coal
In that it contains a much smaller
quantity of earthly Impurities. There
is soft Jet and hard Jet, bet only the
latter is of much use in the making of
oAamentnl articles. ,.

A Wrong
Decision
Br ARTHUR W. BREWSTER
My uncle. Nathan Travera, was a
rich man without children of bla own.
and 1 was to be bis heir. He was a
man who never forgave an Injury. If
an.v one tried to get an unwarranted
advantage of blm he would beat him.
If possible, and In any event would
never forgive blm. He lived In a ?ub
urban town alone except for the aerr
anta, received no company and never
went out eoclally. I went to aee him
at lenst once a week, often remaining
all night.
One morning, after having dined with
him the evening before and remained
all night. Intending to take an early
train to the city, I went Into bis room
to bid blm gnodby and was shocked to
And him dend in his bed. He bad been
stabbed to the heart I was about to
call the servants when it occurred to
me that being my uncle's belr, I was
in a position to be suspected of bis
murder.
Would It be better for me to be be
fore the world the discoverer of my
uncle's having been killed or to leave
the bouse, pretending not to know any
thing about it? I had been asked tbe
night before by a maid if I would
bnve breakfast prepared for me and
had said that I would breakfnst in the
city.
if I went out, as was to be ex
pected. tbe servants would discover
and announce tbe murder. I gave but
a few seconds to deliberate whether 1
should leave the bouse tbus or an
nounce tbe murder, then decided on the
former course
On my way to tbe city I was much
agitated and fearful that I bad decided
wrong. It turned out tbat I had. A
maid had arisen and was Jescendlng
from tbe story above when i was leav
ing my ancle's room. She saw me and
later, when she went to awaken ber
master and found blm dead, remem
bered having seen me leaving bis
cbambcr. The result was tbat when
I was told of tbe tragedy and looked
surprised and shocked I was at once
arrested and brought to trial.
The explanation I have given here
was without any effect on the Jury
My attorney only relied on it so far as
It could be corroborated by other evi
dence. He introduced the statements
of those who knew my uncle and who
swore that be was a man having many
enemies. During bis long life several
persons bad said to blm. "Ton sball
pay for this." or "I'll have your
heart's blood." or "Just yoo wait" My
defender took tbe ground tbat some
one of these ? persons bad done tbe
deed. But my an wise action on dis
covering my ?ncle> dead body hnd
fixed bis death irrevocably on me un
less the real murderer could be dis
covered.
I was convicted. My lawyer resort
ed to the usual methods to secure de
lay. and my execution was pot off
from time to time. Finally, all these
subterfuges having failed, a day was
set for my deatb
Hooks and newspapers were allowed
me. but I could rend only tbe latter
One day I was trying to keep my mind
off my horror by reading a morning
journal wben I saw tbat a burglary
had been committed and tbe robber
had been arrested with tte plunder on
blm.
? Is portrait was In the rogues gm
lery and Identified him aa IVfpr RH
terbof. with several aliases. De had
but recently left state prison, bar
ing been sent there for a robbery com
mltted five years before.
Rltterbof! Where bad 1 heard that
name? Some Rltterbof bad crossed
my path at some time, but I could not
remember when, the circumstances or
the person. The memory does not al
ways act iDstantly. There are cases
wherein It requires time, l'resently I
recalled that the name was connected
with a scene In court Then the fuct
came to me that my uncle had once
sent a workman to the penitentiary
who had been encaged In his bouse
and whom be accused of purloining
certain valuables. Lastly, Itltterhot
and this workman bet-ante Identical In
ray mind.
I sent for my attorney at once and
told blra what I have given here. Not
wishing to excite In me a hope that
might be dashed, be went away, aim
ply saying that hv> would make a thor
ougb Investigation. In time be re
turned, saying that be bad examined
the records and found that this Peter
Rltterbof bud been "sent up" exactly
ten years and ten days before the date
of the murder for stealing articles
from my uncle's house.
So affected was I by the announce
ment. which I considered tantamount
to a reprieve, that I toppled over.
When I came to myself again my ati
torney Impressed upon me the Impor
tance of fixing tha murder npon this
man and told me be proposed to do It
by the process called third degree.
1 had another temporary breakdown
when he came to my cell the next day
and announced that be bad secured
the desired confession, fie acqnlred
It by assuring Rltterbof that be bad
three witnesses rendy to awuar that be
bad said be would kill the man who
caused his imprisonment and had evl
dence of his having been seen leaving
my uncle's bouse during the night of
the murder.
Within a few days 1 walked oot of
Jail Into a fortune. But I never entire
ly recovered from the narrow escape
I bad had and never bear of the con
viction of any one for a flrst crime
without thinking he may be Innocent
