TWO WERE MURDERED. Terrible Trnoedy on a Yukon River Boot Nenr Selkirk. A de.'-palch from While Horse, Yukon, says: Major Snyder of the Mounted IVjllce has received news of a murder on the river, a ."-hort di.stance below Sel- kirk. The telegraph line from Dawson t<i While Horse is out of order, and the m'ws c.ame via ^'aldez and UnlloJ Slates citble. The message is as fol- lows:â€" "Ned Elfo.st arrived in Dawson In boat No. 113 alone. He had been seen o:i the river with two others on ilv* way di'wn. Th© sound of shooting was heard by other small-boat |)aswngers on Ihe river bank below .S<'lkirk." Inquiry by Maj<ir Wood as lo who left here in boat No. 113 showed llmt Ned ICifosI, Emil Anderson and David Berg- mnn left In Ihe boat on May 16. The murder probably occurred five or-.s<x days later, as that time would be re- quired lo run from her© lo Selkirk. Whe- ttioi' Ihe murder was for the purrose of rtibb^ry or the result of a qiianel Ls not known. The nanie.s iivKcate llwl all were Scand navlans, eith<r Norwegians or Swedes, people iKit giv<'n to quietly obeying orders. The .supixisjilion Is Ihal the close intimacy of travelling for sev- eral days in a small boat cngendore<l siritc and bad blood, which culmimiled 'n murder. PAY AS YOU ENTER CHURCn.
