Masean ero, reached here yesterday with both his feet frozen and his body covered with knife wounds and dog bites. He was taken to the hospital where surgi cal treatment was given him in the hope that It may he possible to .save his feet from being amputated, and to cure his injuries. Maseanero tells the story of his troubles about as follows: He left here Friday on his way toward the new discovery in the Teslin country. Upon arriving at Surprise lake, he found a number of Indians camped there and stopped with them. He tells that the Indians had whiskey with them and offered some of it to him. After imbibing with them he laid down for a sleep and during his doze he heard the Indians refer ring to him in uncomplimentary tones.' They finally attacked him and a fight started in which a dozen Indians drew knives and attempted to mur der him. He broke away and rushed out of doors in his stocking reet ana started across the lake. The Indians set their dogs on him and in fighting them off he was severely bitten. In the intense cold and with nothing on his feet but a pair of stockings the colored man ran to a settlement on Boulder creek where he was taken in, arriving there at 2 o'clock in the morning, his feet badly frozen and his body bleeding from dog bites and knife wounds. Some white men brought him to the hospital in Atlin where the police were notified, who are now on their way to overtake the Indians. I The Natives were on their way to | Silver creek with supplies for Keeler I and had stopped at Heeler's cabin on Surprise lake when the Negro ar rived there. I The police are of the opinion that the Negro was the one to supply the liquor and when they return a more definite account of the affair may be given. It seems to be another case of supplying liquor to Indians, and the investigation will doubtless determine where the fault lies. EATHERAND DAUGHTER STARVE ON STICKINE WRANGELL. March 13. ?Dispatch in Prince Itugert Empire: A tale of the slow death by starvation of W. Anderson, a sourdough miner of the Stikine district, and his daughter, aged eighteen >ears, at Hot Springs several weeks ago, has been brought to Wrangell by H. L. Ford, in charge of the Laird trading post at the junc tion of the Dense and Laird rivers in the Cassair district, and Charles Roose, a well known Cassair guide. Roose was sent from Wrangell to the Stikine headwaters in January by F. Matheson. a local merchant, who had received a cablegram signed "Lone Traveler" asking that some guide be sent from Wrangell up to the Stikine river to meet him. The message was sent from Telegraph creek to White horse, thence relayed to Wrangell from Skagway. Ford was the "Lone Hraveler" al luded to. He had been snowbound on the Upper Stlkine a week or two and narrowly escaped death by starvation himself. He had kept himself alive by feeding one of his team of three to j the other two dogs. He himself lived on hardtack. The bodies of Anderson and his daughter, say Roose and Ford, were I fairly well preserved, but both had J been dead several weeks. Anderson had refused to come down the river to Wrangell when a rescue party found him in November. At that time An-j derson wanted to remain with his j large gas boat, which had been left on the banks of the Stikine by the! sudden falling of the river. He and his daughter must have perished in December. Anderson was 65 years of age. , TONY GRAVES IS RAISING CHICKENS Tony Graves, formerly of Skagway, nephew of the late President S. H. Graves, of the White Pass & Yukon, is now engaged in the poultry business in the Puget Sound country. For many years he was connected with the White Pass himself. The following is from the Skagway Alaskan: "A. R. Graves, formerly industrial agent for the White Pass & Yukon, is now located in Orcas Island, San Juan County, Washington, in the poul try business. We have just received an illustrated folder showing his poul try, which are mostly Rose and Single Comb Rhode Island Reds."
