A PACKAGE OF LOST LETTERS.
Papers Belonging to an Italian Picked
Up the Beach.

Chief of Police Jackson received yesterday
from A. J. stewart. of Port Biakeley, letter
accompanied by package OF letters belonging
to Sig. Fernicola Giuseppe di Pesro, which were
picked up on the shore between Por: Biakelcy
and Eagle harbor by "Charlie the Swede'' three
weeks ago. The letters, fourteen packages of
tobacco and two punches of matches were in a
small bag, which had evidently been cast on the
shore by the waves. Mr. Stewart offers 10
theories. but says that many believe there is
something wrong.
Chief Jackson had the letters, which are all in
Italian. translated, but they contained nothing
but social gossip from Petro's relatives There
were several cavelopes addressed to Canton &
Co, bankers, No. 40 Wall street. New York, and
others to Banco q. Lodie. O. Mulberry street,
New York The principal paper, which estab-
iished the owners identity. was a discharge
from the Italian navy, giving his name and the
place OF resdeucs rs S. Gregorio Magno
The Seattle police have never been informed
OF the disappearance OF Sig. Fernicola Giuseppe
di Petro and have 10 idea who he is, where he
came from or his business. Chief Jackson be-
lIeves that the owner either committed suicide
Or lost the package overheard from boat
