DEATH RATE IS VERY HIGH i v JMsoiers Are Ruthlessly Mur. ' tiered to Make ltoom for Oth. ers That Are Sent from Russia. Bumpter, Ore., July 15. G S. Moore, traveling representative ot Collier's Weekly, ho has been visiting !n Sampler, has just returned from the northeastern coast of Siberia, and from Nome and other s northern Alaska potato ";V,rv "."' 1 "While In Siberia, the prison settle ments were visited., and Mr. Moore does not give the Russian prison keep- j en and guards credit for possessing many humane qualities. . Oaths, ac companled by blows, are administered to the unhappy prisoners without stint Suicide, where possible, is the solace ought by many of the latter, to es cape the degradation and sorrow of their lot ' '' ' . " One revengeful look directed from a prisoner to the keeper is sufficient to king down upon his head a blow from s bludgeon that puts a quietus upon Ids earthly career, and the corpse Is carried away Immediately, dumped into Use ground and covered up. There seems to be a maxim among the keep er that prisoners must be disposed of as rapidly as possible in order to make room for the new arrivals. The whole affair is one continual round of misery and death. It is a cold, barren, pit iless country, governed by a still more pItOess officialism, and a person once sentenced there Is relegated to the "feorrlble nightmare of a living death, Mr. Moore says. The native Eskimos hate the Rus sians with a wonderful intensity, and ft is said many an unfortunate prisoner baa been enabled to escape through the agency of the little men. Speaking el the Eskimos, Mr. Moore says they re very- dull and stupid splendid Ears, but poor thieves. They are often most flagrantly cheated by white trad ers. Each season these natives secure many valuable furs, and they have Keen known to trade as many as three white fox hides for a S-cent package 0 gum. Red and other fancy colored j "handkerchiefs are often traded singly for valuable furs. guns were emptied the two men drew knives and fought until both dropped dead. The names of the duellists were not given to'the coroner here, who was notliled of the affair and together with the sheriff has gone to the scene of the duel. ENGINEER WAS BRAVE. V T.Q. BREED ANGORA GOATS. New York Man Trying Experiment of Great Importance. Mlddletown, N. T., July 25. If the experiment undertaken in propagating a new species of angora goats at De tauce, Sullivan county, proves a suc cess, it will mean a great Industry for that section of the country. A large tract of land at Debruce has been purchased upon which has keen placed a herd of Imported white angora goats. The owner has now .gone to New Mexico in quest of 2000 goats from that state and proposes to eross the breeds, expecting to pro duce a superior species. Several large Sand owners of Sullivan county are watching the experiment with Inter est and If It results successfully im mense tracts probably will be devoted to, the goat raising industry, as the animals' wool brings about 50 cents per Dound. Wades Through Burning OH to Save Lives of Passengers. San Bernardino, Cal., July 25. En gineer Freeman of the Santa Fe Rail road saved the passengers of overland train No. ! from death last night by a highly courageous act The train was east bound and was loaded with hun dreds of passengers, many of whom were en route to the St Louis expo sition. W hen the train was at a stand still the locomotive suddenly became enveloped in flames. Something had gone wrong with the oil feeder and there was no means of shutting off the flow of oil. Freeman thereupon sprang into the biasing cab, waded through burning oil and reaching the throttle, sent the engine down the track, stopping only when he had reached a point where It was safe to have the fire burn Itself out without danger to surrounding property.
