INDIAN MAID
SACRIFICED TO
STAY FAMINE
Chilkat Medicine Man Puts to
Death a Daughter of
the Tribe,
VICTORIA, June 11.— After a perilous
journey over slush-covered and rapidly
breaking ice, snow so soft that they
sank to their thighs and mountain fed
torrents, three miners reached here
early this morning by the steamer Cot
tage City from the far-away gold fields
in the but partially explored headwa
ters at the Upp< r Stewart River. The
adventurous trio — Cesare Prancesca of
Salt Lake, Robert Hitchcock of Detroit
and Richard Bleut, a half-breed resi
dent of Alberta -bring news of sick
ness and death among the Indians liv
ing in the district where they have been
prospecting for the last eighteen
months.
During the winter starvation has ray-
I the Indian lodges and made great
inroads into the ranks of the one,' pow
erful ("hilkats, the warlike rulers of the
Indians of the north. At a hamlet near
their camp, where about 150 Indians
live, thirty deaths occurred, and from
near and far reports reached them of
further mortality. With the advent of
the miners and prospectors in the north
the game seems to have been driven
far back into the wilderness, and
whether because of the traffic on the
river or from natural causes, the- miners
say, the fish supply has been inade
quate.
The roots and dried grasses gathered
in the fall did not last long, and soon
the Siwash lodges were without f l.

Knrly yesterday morning the younger

A further evidence that the man had

by the ax itself. It is a rusty weapon
with a broken handle h foot and a half

away after outliving its usefulness as a
tool. On its edge the eld) r Belden had no

thought might have been paint when it

the door showed that the paint had not

This had been freshly cut as if with the.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS
TO COLONIZE CUBA
Paul Vandervoort's Proposition Finds
Favor Among the Blue
and Gray.
CHICAGO, June 11.— A special to the
Chronicle from Omaha, Neb., says: Paul
■i lias received a letter from
I'r< si.: nt McKinley acknowledging re
ceipt of his letter offering to take to
Cuba a great colony of old soldiers of
both the bluo and the gray, whose pres
ri.tii be a guarantee against the
outlawry practiced by some of the Cuban
corpses were laid away in the tops of
fir trees.
One morning: early last March the
tent of the three miners was snatched
open as they sat at breakfast, and in
rushed a swarthy Indian girl. She
threw herself down before them and
cried bitterly. Before they had time
to consider the cause of the interruption
they heard the patter of naked feet, and
a howling mob of Siwashes, headed by
their medicine man, rushed in and seiz
ed the prostrate girl. The miners, un
to save the maiden, followed as
she was carried away. She was car
ried to the Indian hamlet, and after the
Indians had danced around for a few
minutes the Indian chief plunged a
knife Into her body and she sank down
without. a cry.
It was not until the next day that
the miners were enabled to find an ex
planation of the tragedy they wit
nessed. It seems the medicine man
was approached by the famine-stricken
people and asked to make medicine to
stay the inroads of starvation and send
food. The medicine man called upon
the chief to make a sacrifice, and the
young girl had been chosen as the vic
tim. The miners promised secrecy, but.
fearing the Indians would kill them to
silence their tongues they lost no time
in getting out of the district. They
have notified the mounted police and
the troops at the Fort Selkirk bar
racks of the murder of the girl, and
troops will be sent to arrest the chief.
It is probable a relief expedition will
be sent to the famine district.
Each of the returning trio is well
supplied with gold. They say that
riches are to be washed from the Up
per Stewart placers when the problem
of getting food in is solved.
bands. Mr. Vandervoort is receiving him
dreds of letters daily from persons in all i
of the country who are anxious to I
accompany the expedition.
Mr. Vandervoort was formerly com- :
er-in-chlef -if the Grand Army of ;
the Republic. He says the colonies will
go in the fall whether the movement has i
the sanction of the Government or not —
merely as a private affair. The West and
South seem to be the largest contributors i
to the scheme.
HANGS HIMSELF
WITH HALTER ROPE
John Terrill, an Old Resident of
Grass Valley, Commits
Suicide.
GRASS VALLEY, June LL— John Ter
rill. -a resident of this city for twenty-five
years, hanged himself at ] o'clock this
afternoon in a woodshed at the rear of
his residence. The cause of the act Is
unknown. He had never intimated to any
his intention to seek death or ex
pressed dissatisfaction with his worldly
nffairs.
Terrill had been absent from the bouse
not more than a half hour when his wife,
going to the woodshed, found his body
suspended from a rafter by a halter rope.
He was a native of Cornwall. England,
and was fifty-four years old to-day. Ho
was a blacksmith by trade, and by thrifty
habits had accumulated considerable
property. Up leaves an invalid widow
and four grown children— three sons and
one daughter.

Strikers Say No Street

CLIMAX TO BE REACHED THIS
MORNING.
Big Consolidated Company's Attempt
to Operate Its Lines With
New Men Will Be
Resisted.
Special Plspatch to The Call.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 11.— Both the
officers of the Big Consolidated Street
Railway and the strikers are waiting ex
pectantly for 7 o'clock to-morrow morn-
ing, for then there is likely to be serious
trouble. True to its promise of last night
the company made no attempt to move
cars to-day. There was no activity about
the barns or terminals and the big crowds
of strikers and idlers that assembled saw
nothing to excite them.
A number of motormen Imported by the i
company from other cities were taken to
the Lakeview terminus of the road to- !
day, and all that wen- not captured by
the strikers were housed there for the
night. If the strikers do not return to j
work in the morning, as they have been j
notified to do by the company, their ;
places will be filled as far as possible by !
new men and an attempt mado to move j
the cars. This the strikers will not per
mit—or at least they say they will not—
and while they have, been very quiet to
day there is apparently a grim deter
mination on their part to thwart the ef
forts of the company to move the cars.
There has been some talk of a sympa- i
thetic strike on the part of the employes
of the Little Consolidated Company, but
the leaders of the strike say they do not
desire anything of the kind. On the other
hand* they declare that it would only in- i
jure them to tie up the other lines, for :
it would lose them the sympathy of the
people, who have thus far put up with :
inconvenience and annoyance good na- !
turedly. The police are preparing for j
trouble in the morning ancf a large force
of deputy sheriffs has been sworn in to
assist in preserving order should the i
emergency arise.
COMMISSIONER HAUPT
MAY LOSE HIS PLACE
Displeases the President by Publicly
Discussing the Canal
Situation.
WASHINGTON, June 11.— If L Pwls M
Haupt, one of the civilian members of the
Interoceanic Canal Commission !s cor
rectly reported in an interview Vent cut
from Philadelphia yesterday the proba
bilities are there may he a vacancy in the
commission.
W hat Mr. Haupt says as to the Panama
canal being responsible for legislation
calling for the appointment of the com
mission and for the consequent delay in
the construction of an interoceanie canal
is well known to be true, but Mr Haupt
is being severely criticised by members of
the administration for having- publicly pro-
Photographs That Vouch for the
Excellence of The Call's Bul
letins of the Big Fight.
SACRAMENTO, June 11.— The CaJl
gave to Sacramentans a perfect bul
letin description of the big fight as it
progressed last Friday evening, and the
people appreciated its enterprise. It is
possible that the other papers may have
attempted something in that line, but
claimed in favor of the Nicaraguan route.
Whatever may be the views of individual
members of the commission, the authori
ties consider it a serious breach of pro
priety for them to make known through
public interviews their views in favor of
either route. It has been inferred thai ,i
majority of the members of the commis
sion are in favor of the Nicaraguan canrJ
route, but since its appointment Mr.
Haupt is the only one who has publicly
expressed himself.
There is no doubt that the administra
tion is in favor of the Nicaraguan route
and that it expects to report in its favor,
but in the instructions to the Commis
sioners the President will make it clear
that the will of. Congress must be carried
out and that he expects an entirely im
partial report. To demonstrate that this
is his attitude it was said to-day by a
member of the administration that the
President might relieve Mr. Haupt from
service on the commission for his impoli
tic utterances in favor of the Nicara iuan
route.
PUTTMAN'S FATE
IN THE BALANCE
Case Will Go to the Jury
To-Day.
CONVICT MURDERERS PLEA
CLAIMS HE WAS INSANE WHEN
HE KILLED SHOWERS.
Defense Contends That the Constant
Use of Opium Had Over

Reason.
i
Special Disuateh to The Call.
SACRAMENTO, June 11.— George
Puttman, the murderer of John Show
ers, a fellow convict at Fo-lsom Prison,
will learn his fate to-morrow, when
Judge Hughes will charge the Jury.
The case has attracted considerable at
tention by reason of its unusual fea
tures. It has been claimed that the
murder had its orgin in a certain form
of sentiment. Puttman was once be
friended by the father of Abe Majors,
who was convicted recently erf the mur
der of a policeman In Utah. Showers
had years ago turned State's evidence
and caused the old man's conviction on
a charge of murder. The condemna
tion of Majors refreshed Puttman's
memory of the wrong for which Show
ers was responsible, and when the op
portunity presented itself he slashed
Showers with an improvised dagger.
The tragedy was witnessed by a num
ber of prisoners, most of whom, how
ever, declined to testify unless given
the opportunity to take a trip to Sacra
mento for the purpose. This character
of testimony, for the most part, was not
insisted upon, and the defense followed
chiefly alrmg the line of emotional in
sanity.
When Puttman was called to the wit
ness stand yesterday he said that he
was a victim of the opium habit and
that the drug often made him commit
acts against his will. He continued:
To tell the truth, gentlemen of the jury
1 know very little about this charge
against me. in fact, all I do know is
from what I heard while the witnesses
were testifying. When I came into the
State prison at 11! o'clock I had no knife
I swear before God that I had no knife.
I remember a dispute, but with whom I
ac not remember, r recollect somebody
calling me a vile name and then striking
at me. 1 have a dim recollection of a
struggle and of handing a knife to an offi
cer. Whether I did this or got the idea
from hearing the testimony I am not cer
tain. This is about all I know.

fore I was brought to Sacramento.
The defense closed with Puttman's
story, and arguments were continued
until last night, when the court ad
journed until to-morrow. A constant
attendant upon the trial was Puttman's
mother, an attractive woman, whose
apparent youth made her seem more
like a sister than a parent. She was

"I will meet him anywhere with the

I can get a square deal - San Francisco.
I am ready to post my forfeit any time

him under Marquis of Queensberry rules,
which call for a 24-foot ring. I want no
18-foot ring; no championship tight is ever
held in an 18-foot ring. Jeffrie? wants all
the purse or none, but before he wanted
a 7.". and 2ii per cent division. But I'll ac
commodate him; the whole purse to the
winner suits me. I never felt better nor
keener for a fight, and whenever Jeffries
is ready I am ann my forfeit is ready to
back my statement."
DID NOT WARN HIS
FRIENDS NOT TO BET
Fitzsimmons Much Perturbed by the
Story Sent Out From
Cincinnati.
NEW YORK. June U.— Bob Fitzsim
miius, ex-champion heavyweight pugilist,
in company with his wife and his man
ager, Martin Julian, attended a ball game
at West End Field Club, Jersey City, this
afternoon. Fitzsimmons acted as one of
the two umpires, and after the game he
and Julian found time to deny the asser
tions made by Leonard Shilly, who is
credited with being an attache of the
Sheriff's office in Cincinnati. Shilly
claims to be a personal friend of Fitzsim
mons, but Bob says he does not know
such a man, and Julian is equally posi
tive that he never met such a person.
The letter in itself purports that Fitz
simmons feared defeat and advised his
friends not to risk any money on their
belief that he would retain the champion
ship.
"I never wrote such a letter," said Fitz
sinimons. "I don't know Shilly. Who is
he, anyhow? You say he is connected
with the Sheriff's office in Cincinnati.
Well, if he is, I know nothing about the
Sheriff or him. I never wrote such a let
ter. I'm not a letter writer. This letter
in question is dated 'New York. May :;].'
Since 1 went into training some weeks
ago I wrote only one letter, and that was
to Dr. KHly, a dentist of IVoria. 111., but
I made no mention of my chances of vic
tory or defeat in it.
"I'll tell you what I'll do," continued
Fitzsimnums, "in order to show the pub
lic that I never wrote such a letter to
Leonard Shilly or any other person, I'll
give S-jix.! to the pirscin who produces
Buch a document, and furthermore, if any
one believes that he has such a letter I
will pay his expenses from wherever he
resides "to this city and make him a pres
ent of $250, providing that such a com
munication can be produced. Of course,
the letter may be a forgery, if such a
letter exists, but I want to be satisfied
as to its existence and I also want the
public to be satisfied that I never wrote
it nor had it written for me. I am at a
loss to understand why any person could
make such a statement, because I see no
reason why any one should try to 'queer'
me in this underhand manner."
Martin Julian. Fitzsimmons' manager.
was very emphatic in his denunciation of
the report and said:
"Fitzsimmons and I are close friends,
and I know that he never wrote such a
letter. It is a lie oil the face of it. Fitz
simmons is not making any idle boast
when he says that he will give $2500 for
the production of the letter, if it can be
proved to be authentic. This we can
easily afford to do, seeing that we know
that if such a letter exists it must be a
forgery. Now, let these people come to
time, and if there is a negro in the wood
pile we will soon dig him out. If the
letter can be placed in evidence we will
IRISH=AMERICANS
WHO WILL SAVE THE
KILLARNEY LAKES
Big Sum Already Subscribed and
Arrangements Made for
a Mass-Meeting.
NEW YORK, June 11.— A number of
prominent Irish-Americans of this city,
who have taken an active interest In
the movement started here to purchase
the Muckross estate and the beautiful
lakes of Killarney, with a view of con
verting the place into an Irish National
Park, met this evening at the home of
James .T. Coogan, president of the bor
ough of Manhattan, to talk over the
project and to arrange for a general
meeting to be held at the Waldorf-As
toria Hotel Wednesday night.
The name men will meet again to
morrow to draft a circular letter set
tin;' forth th>' plan in detail. These cir
culars will be sent to all Irish-Ameri
cans in Greater New York and be fol
lowed by invitations to the general
mccl ing.
James Boothley-Roche, who repre
sents in Parliament the district of Kil
gladly pay $250 to the person presenting
it, a.s well as other expenses, in addition
to the $2")00 promised by Fitzsimmons."
Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who was present,
said that she was positive her husband
had never written such a letter.
"Bob was more than confident of suc
cess, and all those who saw the fight, must
certainly agree with me in saying that he
did tils utmost to retain the championship.
He had no doubt as to his ability to defeat
,Ji (fries, and although he was beaten, I
am not quite satisfied that he cannot re
verse the order of things."
Several rumors are in circulation that
Jeffries has offered to spar with Fitz
simmons at a benefit for the latter, but
Manager Julian sa.id to-night that Jeffries
and his manager, instead of giving a ben
efit, the proceeds of which would go to
Fitzsimmons. had made a proviso that
they should receive 50 per cent of the re
ceipts. When this proposition was made
to Fitzsimmons he and his manager de
clined to have anything to do with it and
stated that when Fitzsimmons gave a
benefit for "Jack" Dempsey, after he had
defeated him, Dempsey received all the
coin. Neither Fitzsimmons nor Julian will
accept half favors from the new cham
pion or his manager, and if they wish to
give the ex-champion a benefit he must
have all.

The San Francisco Labor Council on
May 19 adopted resolutions protesting 1
against the abuse? at Wardner and had
them forwarded to President McKinle&Y
whose secretary acknowledged receipi f
i fame. Conditions at Wardner getting
I worse, howeyer. instead of better, it is
! now proposed to wire to the President
resolutions adopted at the mass meeting
in the hop*- that he will iak-- immediate
to have the constitutional rights of
citizens upheld by the military, instead
1 of abrogated, as is now being done by
Major General M< rriam.
The position th^ San Francisco trades
unions take on the Wardner riots is de
t fined by the following quotation from the
resolutions of May 19:
We deplore the acts of violence against prop
erty and the deaths that have occurred in the
affected locality, but we deny that these cir
cumstances afford any justification for
course now being pursued by the authorities.
The civil authorities are invested with full
power to punish the persons responsible for
these crimes, and we pledge our assistance to
that errl l>.v every means compatible with law.
Trusting that you will give space to th.'g
communication, I remain, respectfully ,

SAILS TO WRONG PORT.
Costly Mistake of the Master of the
Bark Natuna.
PORT TOWNSEND, June 11.— Captain
Fretwurat of the British hark Natuna,
which arrived at Port Angeles this morn
ing, has made a costly mistake, owl]
a similarity of names. The Natuna sailed
from Antwerp December 22. with a cargo
consigned to W. R. Grace & Co., Port Los
Angeles. The captain, evidently, after
leaving port, on locating his destination
on the chart, picked out Port Angeles In
stead of Port Los Angeles and sailed for
that place, not realizing his mistake until
he attempted to enter his vessel at the
custom-house. Then he found that he had
sail, d about 12 ; " i miles north of his d'-sti
nation. A portion of the cargo is for
Portland, < >r.
