The above dispatch was received last
night In the Tribune olllie over tho
Associated Pi ess wire. A Tribune man
went to the stole mid showed the dls-'
patch to Mis. Vetter. She lead It over
cniefttlly nml then said that Attornfcv
O M Wutson hail leeched u similar
message In the nftei noon' fi out adtug

It nilqht be title but said thete have
been so many conflicting statement's
that she will nevet believe Ml. Vetter
alive until she sees him.
I l'TTKR PHOM MRS. HI.NS
Mrs. Vetter leecived a letter onlj
J'esteiday from Mis W II Hens, who
has been reported to be the only sur
vivor of the partj-. In It -Alts Hens
rMteiates her statements that Mr Vet
tet and the tesit of the patty nre all
dead Her stoiy, however, differs
tnaerlally from the- one pi luted In the
Detrlot Tribune and tepilnt"d in this
pipet on August d
Mr?, Pens. accotJIng to tho latter
stoij. was with the paitv all the time
and saw them dtop off one by one until
only hertelf was left alive In the let
tet lecelved by Mis Vetter she says
that she anil her husband vveie ten
dnjs joutnej- fiom the remaining' elev
en of tl'.e p.nty when the latter died.
The wind she teceived of their death,
sli sajs, was bioutjht bj n man who
came miles out of his way to tell her.
Mis Hens states that he told her
that lie had seen the eleven graves
and that all of them vveie mniked. The
onlj- pet on Mrs Bens saw die was her
own husband. Fiom the tone ot I hi"
letter she is peifeetlj- confident that
tlie party aie all dead and even told
of how the bodlis could be recovtied
net spring.
In a fotmer statement Mi Reus
said thnt V. A. Plummer, who is quot
ed in the dlsp'itch as having anived
in Seattlo bearing Uk news nt Ml.
Vettir's rescue, was one of the men
who died and that .she had heard that
he was the last one to be bulled.
PLl'MMFR IS ALIVI'.
As the dlspath sent out by the As
sociated Pi ess and tho one lecelved by
Attorney Watson agiee thnt Mr. Plum
mer has anived In Stattle. it is verj'
piobablo that the statement Is cor
lect. If It Is and leaving the question of
Mr. Plummet's veiacltj out of consld
iratl n entltelv. It Is also very piob
ablo that Mi. Vettet. who wa also re
ported dead, could still be alive, too.

The rules legal ding the length of

Although the conductois und brake

the englneeis another and the flteinen
another. It Is the Intention to have

the engineers will have u separate con
