BOWMA_N__IS ALIVE. '
ls Located at the Mouth of the
Stewart River.
Story of H13 Murder Disproved and the
Accused Thus Exonerated.
George W. Bowman, of Bridgeport,
who was reported to have been mur-
dered in the Klondike, is alive, and as
far as a letter would indicate, is well
into the bargain. From what has been
said by some of his friends in Bridge-
port, on the strength of rumors frOm
the Klondike, it has been repeatedly
said that Bowman had been killed by
his companions, either John Beall or
Mr. Johnson. There is something very
queer about the entire business that
will need some explaining yet, but the
main fact that Mr. Bowman is alive,
disposes of the theory or the asser-
tion that either Mr. Beal or Mr. J ohn-
Son is guilty of murder. Both of these
men have been accused of the crime by
men who have been in the Klondike,
but the friends of the accused men
strenuously refused to believe the
story against them.
The story of Mr. Bowman’s decease
has been telegraphed all over the
country, and on account of his strong
L. A. W. affiliation, has been widely
copied in all the wheeling publications.
It was said that one day, on the trail
from Lake Linderman, he sank in the
Snow exhausted on account Of a bad
ankle, and was Shot in the head by one
of his cOmpanions, presumably to end
his suflerings. The Story of the trag-
dy came from two sources, one eman-
ating in Bridgeport on the strength Of
rumors from the Klondike and the
other from Klondike direct by the As-
sOciated press. ‘
. Mrs. S. J. Fox of 203 Lafeyatte street,
Bridgeport, on Tuesday, was in receipt
of a letter from George Bowman him-
self. Mr. Bowman was a. visitor to her
house when a resident of that city, and
has endeavored to continue his corres-
pondence ever since he left. The letter
is genuIne, written in led pencil, and
bears his well known signature. It is
dated Sept. 1, “from the mouth of the
Stewart river,” which is not far from
Dawson City. The letter is personal
throughout, and only extracts can be
quoted. One of the first piragraphs in
the letter is an inquiry after John Beall.”
"The last time I saw him,”he writes,
“was January 4. when he left us to go
back and get provisions, of which we
had run out. Have never seen any-
thing of him since.
what the consequence of his non-appear-
ance meant for us. N o grub for the
winter, followed by an experience that
I can never forget. We were lucky in
getting bear meat and fish. There are.
a lot of questions that I would like to
ask Beall. I have heard he has been in
New York and presumably he has been
in Bridgeport. When he left he had ‘a
number of kodak photographs and
letters from me to friends in the East.
You can imagine
I have never received any answer from
them, nor have I seen anything Of the
photographs. I am surprised that you
did not answer the letters. A letter
or a newspaper would be a God-send to
a poor devil up here.”
, Mr. Beall has been in Bridgeport but
he never called on the Foxes, nor has
he delivered any letters to them from
Mr. Bowman. Neither did he turn
over any kodak pictures Of firms.
“Bowman further writes that the
country where he is now is healthy, al-
though there has been a lot of sickness
at Dawson City. He said he had been
to the Black Hills, and got some gold,
but not much. He said he would pros-
pect along the Stewart river, and hoped
to get enough to go to the Paris expo-
sition in 1900. Bear meat was plenty
and so was moose. Onions were 25 cents
apiece and eggs $1 each. A sack of
hour (50 pounds) was 88. Salt and all the
other ingredients us to a corresponding
price. The country, he writes, IS much
over-rated. There is, plenty of gold—if
you can find it. Had not seen a pretty
girl for a year.
He wrote: "The summer days are
over and another month winter will be
on us, when all Will be still and white
for six months.” He writes that he is
not sure when he will get back into
God‘s country.
{No mention is made in the letter of
J Ohnson who accompanied him nor does
he say who he is with. Mr. BOWman
'will get a‘number of letters and p tpers,
nowthat hisaddress is known, and per»
haps what little mystery is left will be
’ soon cleared.

WlS_A_FAKE. "
The Story if the Founderins .
of a Yachi llnirue.
B‘oats Reported'Lost are Laid up for
the Winter.
A sensational yarn about the founder-
ing Of the yacht. Sappho off the N or-
walk harbor Tuesday evening, and the
terrible struggle of the yacht Hiawatha.
to breast the storm, telegraphed from
Norwalk to the New York papers, was
the worst attempt at faking yet at-
tempted by. the prince of fakirs.
The story is said to have been started-
by some of the passengers on the
steamer ‘Rosedale, which was obliged
to put in at Wilson’s Point Tuesday
night owing to the severity of the
storm, and was greedily swallowed by
the fakir '
The New York Journal after receiv-
ing the story, telephoned the GAZETTE
and inquired if the tale was true evi-
dentlydiscrediting their correspondent.
The Journal was informed that there
was not a word of truth in the story.
This, however, did not prevent that
journal from printing the yarn.
The reported foundered yacht Sappho
has been out of commission about three
weeks, and is now anchored in the basin ’
of the Brooklyn Water front dry dock
company at the foot of twenty-sixth
street.
The Hiawatha, which was also tossed
about like an egg and unable to assist
the Sappho in the gale, has been out of
commission for some three or four
weeks and is now at the yards of Charles-
L. Seabury 8: Co., at Morris Heights.

Lieutenant William VI. Bloom Placed in
Command of Company L.
Letters received in town from Camp
Meade, Pa, convey the intelligence
that Captain Reuben M. Rose of Co L,
has resigned by request V
Who suggested such resignation, or
for what reason it was brought about,
is a matter of conjecture.
It was known that the captain was
not popular with his company, but it‘-
was not thought that this would cause
his resignation .
Lieutenant Bloom writes to his wife
under date of October 17th, in which
letter he says, “Captain Rose has re-
signed by request and I am to take
command tomorrow.”
FurthEr information as to the whys
and, wherefores of the resignation will
probably be promulgated within a
