DIED SEEKING HIS FORTUNE.
The Neely or a BralltrOrd Men Discovered
• 011 TletiOli Trail*
A despatch from Brantford, Ont.,
says :-Mr. A. C. Strathelee, for anum-
ber of years G.T.R. agent here, on
Tuesday, received a letter from Mr. F.
D, Wilson, agent 'of the Hudson's Bay
post at Vermillion, in the Peace Riv-
er district, saying that a body has
been found supposed to be that of his
•
son Harvey Strathdee, win) was lost
in that region last fall. Tlae body is
reported to bave been found by Lie
diens, and to have been pertially de-
voured by wiid beasts. Mr, Strathdee
is making an effort to have it identi-
fled. if possible and brought home for
burial. i
The obrounistances of the sad affair
will be remembered. Me. Strathdee
•
and his son were travelling. alone, via
the Edmonton route, into. the Peace
River diatriet in search of gold. One
morning in September last the son got
up before his father, took his gun, left
the tent in search of some siaall game,
and never returned. The distracted
.
father spent ten days all alone 131
searching, then started. fax help, fall-
ing in with two men on the trail, who
assisted. him ten days longer in the
search, but without suec.ess. Mr.
Strathdee, sr., was then forced to re-
turn home are the winter closed in,
leaving his lost son behind. Since then
nothing has been heard of him.

KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT.
--
Frank Fisher is the Ninth 'riel i .11 Of :rajah.
despatch from Kansas City, Mo.,
says :-Leman Brothers' man -killing
elephant Rajah, added another to his
list of vietim's on Monday morning,
when he killed his keeper, Frank Fish-
er, who is the ninth men that Rajab
has killed during the seven years he
has been in captivity. He will pro-
bably not kill any more men, for there
.
is a movement on foot to have him
slain, .
Fisher was intoxicated when he was
killed. He staggered -into the winter
quarters of the circus at Argentine on
Monday morning, boakting of his
prowess. as an animal tamer. To
prove his proweds he visited in turn
the tions' cage and the bears' den; cora-
ing out each time uninjured, and then
went over and began to play . with
Rajah. The. elephant was in a par-
ticularly bad mood, and refused to
obey his orders. When the brute re-
I fused to apen his mouth Fisher struck
hint on the trunk with his fist.
This angered tbe animal, and ' be
grabbed Fisher's arm in his mouth,
crushing it. Then the elephant threw
Fisher down with his trunk and tried
to gore him with his tusks. His tusks
were so short, however, having been
sawed off, that he oould not reach hiscostliest
victim; with them. Rajah then delib-
erately junined upon Fisher's chest,
breaking every rib and crushing the
life out of him. .
