The team was taken In charge and brought down the hill and Mr. Cook taken to the hospital, where It was found that he wag suffering from a paralyse .'troKS. He Is In a critical condition arid the chances are against his recovery. It was fortunate that the team was dis covered before It attempted to come down the hill, as there would proba lily have been a runaway as a further result "!: . . The Post-Intelllgncer says: Oil ail Nome's water front, which was so lib erally supplied wkh lighters and other contrivances for discharging marine freight, hut two remained after the great storm of September 12. These are owned by the North American Transportation & Trading Company. Lighters and launches .illke were des troyed. Of the big lighterage outfits owned by C. D. Lane, the Seattle-Yu kon Transportation Company and Cap tain William Kldston, not a single craft remains, acordlng to advices received from the officers of the steamship Roa. noke. The North American Transpor tation & Trading Company had one of the largest lighterage equipments in the harbor of Nome, but only two of their lighters and one launch were sav ed. The launch was some distance up Nome river, otherwise it would have been destroyed. The shortage of light ers will seriously retard the work of discharging the vessels now there or en route to Nome. It 'rill no doubt delay the return of the steamship Sen ator which arrived at Nome the nbcht the Roanoke sailed. September 14. SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
