John Fergugon McCrae opined that

BULLDOZING HAYTI.

Big Germany Gives Little Hayti Eight Hours
in Which to Settle.

Portau Prince, Hayti, Dec. 6.—The
trouble between Germany and Hayti, as
a result of the alleged illegal arreet and
imprisonment of Herr Lueders, said to
be # German eubject, reached a crisis
today. Two German cruisers entered
this port during the morning, and an
ultimatum from the German -govern-
ment was delivered to the Haytian gov-
ernment, giving the latter eight hours
in which to grant the da of Ger-

am not to enter the politi
field.” Mr. Hunter no doubt would
make a strong man. He has a hostof
friends, and although but a young man
he has shown shrewd judgment in mat-
thers of business that might excite the
envy of many an older man.

“@No sir; 1am nota hota bit coporet¥tioué H
eaid a Rossland citizen. yesterday, “but
Iam going to move.’’ e

“Why, ”? was asked him.

“Because there is a ‘hoodoo’ on the
building I have had an Office in. One
man who lived there committed auicide.
Another got his leg broke and another
broken his arm. Nor did the fatalities
stop there. Another tenent. was shot in
an outside city and nearly every one,
except myself, who has had an office
there has met with some accident or.
other.”

“Of course I know,” said he trying to
excuse himeelf, ‘‘that it is simply co-
iucidents and not due to any supernate
ural agencies, but you see I might be
the victim of the next co-incident;
which I intend to avoid by moving.
Dont misunderstand me for I am: not
superstitious.”

It is simply marvelous when one con-
siders how much superstition there isin
this age of enlightment, | even among the
cultured class.

Still fresh in the minds of the people
is the remarkable chain of events attri-
buted to Murderer Holmes’ malign eye.
When condemned to death he cursed
everyone instrumental in bringing about
his doom—the judge, attorneys and wit-
nesses—and _ prophesized that each one
would die a violent death. Strange and
unreal as it may scem the prophecy
came true. All connecteé prominently
with the trial have met violent deaths,
and Holmes’ evil eye is blamed. Of
course these men were bound to die any-
way but it seems unnatural that their
deaths should so soon follow that of
Holmes.

There are other supe: rttlons too in-

many for an indemnity to Herr Lueders,

from death, by euffocation, in
the west drift of the Iron Colt mine &t
10:80 o’clock last night, M. J. Merry
lost his life.

About 10:30 George Cattanach ven-
tured into the west drift to observe the
results of two shots that were fired about
5 o'clock in the evening, and also to
turn on-the air blower if necessary.
Upon his return to the breast of
the tunnel where drilling was then
being done, he and Mr. Merry in-
tended to go from the mine a short time.
Mr. Cattanach was absent in the drift
but a few minutes when he fell, over-
come with fhe deadly gas, but he had
presence of mind enough to shout to
Merry for help.

Merry left his place at the drill and
rushed into the drift to rescue his com-
panion but fell uncounscious before
reaching him. ' The miners above heard
the drills working and when they stop-
ped, supposed that the men had ie the
tunnet for the air to clear.

About 11:15 William Meeson went i in-
to the tunnel and by accident went into
the drift where he stumbled over the pos-
trate forms of Cuttanach and Merry.
The air in the drift was not bad enough
to.overcome him at the time. He gave
the alarm at once and the,unconscious -

minora wert’ taken from’ the “mine.”

Doctor#-Bowes and Anderson were sum-
moned. Mr. Merry did not recover but
Mr. C h ined * i a

-}iew minutes after being removed from

the drift,

Superintendent Heacock, Wim. Mees-
on and Cattanach-called at the Record
office this morning and gave the details
of the sad affair as told in the foregoing.
The men say the facilities for supplying
the mine with sir are good. No work
was supposed to be done in the west
drift without the air blower being turn-
ed.in,and Mr. Cattanash was not obliged
te enter the tunnel at all.

‘No arrangements have been made for
Mr. Merry’s faneral. His remains lie at
Beatties undertaking rooms. He was a
brother of Mr. Mckenzie, a street rail-
way man of Toronto. He has been hore
since July working a burly drill in the
Iron Celt. He leaves a beautiful young
wife to whom he was married only three
weeks ago. She is stopping at the Bell
View hotel.

SOLD FOR $50,000.

The Sum to be Paid for the Evening
“ Star.

One of the best deals ever made in
the Slocan country was the sale, this
week, of the Evening Star, for $50,000.
This is undoubtedly one of the best
properties in the district, and was de-
veloped up to the showing on which it
was sold by the original owners. Mr.
Hugh Sutherland came here from Win-
nipeg and examined the property, but
it was understood that the offer of the
owners was refused and that all deals
were off when Mr. Sutherland took his
departure last week. The value of the
property seems to have carried its own
weight, for Mr. Sutherland telegraphed
that he would accept the offer made by
the owners. The deal is practically cash
as the purchasers are not allowed to du
any work on the property until a final
sum mentioned in the deal is fully paid
up.—Pioneer.
