DESPERATE GANGS OF MEN IN THE KLONDIKE REGION. The expected is happening. The sud- den rush of desperate men into the Klondike region late last season is be- ing followed by the appearance of tales of violence and robbery in the new El Dorado. Dawson City itself is believed to be fairly safe, as the desperate characters there are overawed by numbers. The worst that can happen: to a man is to be cheated of his hard-won gold-dust in a gambling den. But in the spar- sely settled region round about mur- der and robbery are rife. George F. Barry, a recently returned Klondiker. makes this statement: “My story sounds so much like a dimepnovel adventure that I am al- most ashamed to talk about it. I went 1 over the Dyea trail with a party of sixi early in March. 1897. The trail was. then new and in bad shape, and we. were compelled to throw away a lot of supplies. \Ve finally settled in what is now known as Dead Mule Val- ley, and laid out our claims. W'e had fair luck, and before the winter set in had cleared up nearly 82,000 apiece. In the mean time twenty other miners had come down from the Klondike re- gion and made their homes in the val- ley. “'l'oward the last of September, two strangers, claiming to be unlucky pros- pectors, wandered into camp and spent a week with us. By that time we were all anxious to get back to Dawson. but had not made up our minds as to the best way of reaching the town. The two strangers said they could lead us through the passes to the Dawson trail. A deal was made with them to act as guides tor the party, their pay to be $500 each. “I don't know how it was, but in some manner I became suspicious of the strangers. and at the last minute Pete Farrel, ‘Dutoh’ Bauer and 1 drop- ped out of the party. Our 0me fear then was that the guides were making a bold ‘bluff' to earn the $1,000, and might get us LOST IN THE MOUN'IAINS. 1 We had no idea they were pilots for a band of ghouls, as they afterward turn- ed out to be. We tried to induce the other campers to wait, but the strang- ers had worn them over, and early in October Farrel, Bauer and myself bade the others good-by. Nobody has even seen or ,heard of any member of that party. except the guides, since that struck camp and took up a trail to the west. Alter a fiveâ€"weeks' struggle and great suffering our little band of three reached Dawson. and we were surprised to learn that our friends had not arrived there. We waited nearly a month for them. and then started for home. DaWson is full of energetic newspaper man and the arrival of a party of twenty men with fully 8100,- 000 in gold dust could not have been overlooked. All three of as made efâ€" forts to induce the Dawson people to get up a rescuing party, but were un« ' successful. I ‘â€"â€"â€" Annm‘vv buvucam. ul. . “As 1 have said, we waited for nearly a. month. and then got ready to start for home. Just as we were about to leave town, I ran into ope ot the ghou- lish guides ih sogambhng house, and 4‘_L‘-A nut. friandfi 1L5“ SUIllCfi Lu W bmw-â€"â€" at once asked. him Where our friends were. The chap was drum-k and ugly and replied. with an insolent leer: “1t you'll go back a few hundred miles on the trail you'll find them waiting for you.' The boldness of his answer made me lose my head. and instead of letting the matter drop there I started in to “mix up’ with him. This was a job 1 got the worst of. as the room was full of desperadoes who were plainly in Sympathy with him. and at the first op- to the bandit. “Hunting u Farrel and Bauer. 1 LAIA #hnm nf What had Occuerd. i104 “Hunting up Earl-61 auu yam”. - told them of what had occurred, and to the authorities and Inside of 5nd I didn't like the *ay the thing looked. “We left Dawson with 316,000 in dust. and this fact must have been known to the gang. for nothing else would have brought those men out there in that weather. They insisted that they “(617.8 prospectors bound to the dig- ging's. but they had. no packs. no min- lng outfits. and only two days' rations of food and their rifles. “We were then crossing the Dalton trail and were heading for Fort Sel- kirk. Repeatedly we had to lay down our weapons and assist in handling the packs and helping each other up and down the hills. The two strangers were always together in: the centre of the party, and their guns were alwtyfl close by them. I did not believe they would attack us alone. but suspected they would try to ‘ LEAD US INTO A TRAP. At the first halt I informed my com- panioms of my suspicions. We de- 0).de upon a plan. We were t0 drop behind the strangers at the first open stretch of country and then do a little hold-up business ourselves. We were convinced that the strangers were rob- bers. and that they were after our lives and gold, which practically meant the same thing to us, for we had risked our lives for the gold and were determin-‘ ed to do so again. Phil Duly, one of my partners. was a big, strapping fel- low, always ready for a fight. Nelse ThOlIIIDSOvm my other comrade, was a fighter and full of nerve. “All went well until about 2 o'clock that afternoon, We managed to keep the strangers in front of us, and our guns always ready for action. \Vhen ithe right moment came I sang out: ‘Hold up your hands] and at the same time our rifles came to a level. The strangers faced about, looked down the muzzle of our rifles, and up went their hands. Then Daly gave the strangers a short talk, plain and to the point. 0‘ “ ‘Wé Ednfizâ€"Tiieâ€"Eguf compiny.’ said Daly, ‘and you can’t travel with us ”3.19118“! “Daly then ordered them to retrace their steps. The rascals swore and POIeaded, but when at last Daly lost pa- tience. and lifted his rifle, saying: ‘Get along now, or you are both dead men.’ the pair started on a run back over the trail. We could hear their curses and threats for ten minutes. vâ€" .â€" “\Ve were determined not to be tak- e}! ll‘nawares, and I stood guard for the first three hours, of the night. Nelse took his turn next. and I went to sleep wear Daly. Daly went on watch just before daylight: I Suddenly I was awakened by I jumhed up, grabbed my rifle and ran toward my comrades, whom I saw kneeling behind a group of bowlders to the left of our camp. I did not know What was up, but Daly soon e011- lightoned me by shouting. "l‘he dev113 are behind those trees and the woods are. full of them.’ “\Ve opened a steady fire, and the unseen enemy was just as wasteful of ammunition as we were. Finally. just as the light was growing, six men Writ" from the clump of trees and made a rush for a steep bill a bun- dred yards to their left. Two were wounded and had to be assisted. We recognized one of the wounded men as our companion of the day before. and among the uninjured bandits we distinguished the ugly features of the second stranger. We winged another of the bandits as he reached the bot- tom of the hill. but he was quickly caught up by his comrades. “By the time we had made our way across the stream that divided our camp from the hill over which the bandits had retreated all trace of them had disappeared. We- hunted for an hour. but finally gave up the chase 1 watt“; “Ghouls?

Downing street gets its name from Sir George Downing, Sec.- retary to the Treasury in 1667. No. 10 originally belonged to Lord Lichtield, ! Master of the Horse, who retired from lEngland with James II. It then fell into the hands of the Crown. George I. gave it to the Hanoverian Minister, Baron Bothman, for life. After the Baron’s death, George II Minister, Sir Robert \\ alpole. Wal- pole accepted it; on condition that the residence showld attach to the Pre- miership forever. Three years passed before he took up his residence there.
