HOME FROM THE KLONDIKE. struck It Rich and Will Take ldfe Kasy In tl»c Future. In March 1897, Frank Lory of this city was struck with the Alaska gold fever as thousands of others were, and proceeded to start immediately for Dawson City. It was a trip that not many young men would care to take. So he in company with Chester Barrett also of this place started on their long journey. The trip through the Alaskan mountains was a peril ious one, being at times compelled to walk over snow drifts and sometimes fall from the cliffs and at other times walk along the creek and river beds knee deep in the cold water to*get around the mountains and through the passes and to the navigable streams along the trail. Three mouths after they left here they arrived at Dawson City. That place wras a city of tents at the time and had a population of 2,000. There was but one building there and that an Indian cabin. The boys went to work and staked their claims. That fall Frank formed a partnership with Max Beaver, who went from Seattle to Dawson City at the same time. They engaged in mercantile and mining and soon were quite successful by push and energy. They then opened up a brokerage office and loaned money and bought and sold mining claims, which they are tiow

I engaged in. . Sunday Frank and his partner Max Beaver, arrived in this city and gave the former's parents quite a surprise, though they were expected to arrive at almost any time. Friends soon learned of Frank's arrival at home and in a short time he was kept busy shaking hands with his host of friends who congratulated him on his success and return home. They will remain here the greater part of the time until next March when they will return to Dawson City, unless business interests demand their return sooner. They will go to Chicago next week where they will have some machinery built to order for mining purposes which will be sent to the Klondike territory. They hold a large mumber of placer claims on the several creeks that have developed into big gold producers, and washed up gold this spring that run into the six figures. They left the states and arrived in Dawson City with a few hundred dollars each, but have returned with snug little fortunes. They brought home with them several hundred dollars worth of nuggets as specimens,, one of whidh contains $117 in gold and which they have been offered $,‘>00. They are very modest in talking about what they have cleaned up during their stay of a little over two years in the Klondike, but say they will be able to live comfortable during the coming years. In some future issue the Democrat will give a complete write-up of the growth of Dawson City. On and after September 1st, 1899, our two stores will do a strictly cash business. Every one, rich or poor, will be treated exactly alike—no credit to anybody. It is not right for you that pay cash to pay for the debts those that never pay, make. We intend to sell goods from twenty to thirty per cent cheaper than ever before, which we can easily do, as no credit house dare compete with those that buy and sell for cash. So strict will be our policy that we offer $5.00 reward to any one that will buy goods at either of our stores on credit. You can afford to borrow money at 20 per cent and pay cash and be independent. We thank you kindly for your past trade and hope to double our business with you in the future by selling you goods away below long time credit stores. Those indebted please settle by cash or note at once. W. V. Hargrove & Co.. Star Clothing House and People’s Dry Goods Store, Petersburg’s only cash To the Public. Stores.

f NON-UNION MEN ASSAULTED. Two Men Working <ut I Clark burn Coal ■••v Mines Are AwntUtat Monday morning as Harvey Hayes and Albert Goodpasture were going to work at the Little* • coal mines at Blackburn they were aj proached by a number of men who asked them to refrain from working in the mines until the strike was settled. They refused and proceeded to go to work when they were assaulted with clubs and stones and knockedcowp. Hayes was pretty badly injured and Dr. Link of this city, was sent for. Tuesday, however, Hayes was better, but that evening he was taken suddenly worse and the doctor again sent for. Albert Goodpasture bled an affidavit against Willian:* Stinson, Wil- ; liam Noe and, James .Fair for assault and battery. They were arrested and taken before Squire Tucker who continued the cases until Tuesday. When the cases were brought up, the case was dismissed and they were arrested on % more serious charge and their cases continued until August 12th. They were held under a bond of $100 each, failing to\iye which they went to jail to await trial. The men under arrest are all miners. | and it is said that others will be ar-1 rested, for taking part in the affair. William Stinson gave bail Wednes- j day evening for his appearance at the ' trial.

CONFERENCE WITH GOVERNOR. Both sljog in tlio Evansville strike Were llepresented. Governor Mount was in conference for two hours this forenoon with representatives of both sides of the mining strike at Evansville. Those who talked with the governor were S. W. Little, manager of the S. W. Little coal company of Evansville, for the operators: Fred Dilcber and John Mitchell, traveling representative and president of the United mineworkers of America, who represented the striking miners, and Lycurgus P. McCormack, State labor commissioner. The situation was reviewed from the beginning, and the governor made many inquiries. He asked Mr. Dilch^r many questions, among which was an inquiry as to why the strike was prolonged after it was known that the matter of wages could be agreed on. and why the mine-workers' organization insisted on a continuance of the strike simply to secure a recognition of the union. After the conference the governor said that the ‘'bone of contention” was wholly a recognition of the union. He said the question of wages, which started the strike, had been left in the background and the union had been pushed to the front. He found, he said, that the mine workers' organization was willing to submit the settlement of the strike to aboafd of arbitration, providing however, that the board would agree first to insist on a recognition of the union. This, the governor told Mr. Dilcher and Mr. Mitchell, would be impossible for the board to do, one that now prevents a settlement. Nothing but a clearer view of the situation' was accomplished by the conference. Governor Mount, after the representatives had left, said he did not see that anything could be done toward an immediate settlement. He deplored this fact and expressed the wish that inasmuch as the question of wages could now be settled the men would go back to work.—Indianapolis News. ■ ’ The City Markets.
