May Debts IN Port Angeles
PoRr AsoELEs. Oct Especial. 1-Dr.
]. p. Frizeli. who came 20 this city some
ninety days ago. has departed for parts
unknown. aud IN consequences his many
creditors mourn. The doctor was born
in some part of Ireland, and IL
appears had practiced a year or
so in Seattle before coming to this
city. When he came here he announced
that he had q large estate In Ireland and
that aremittanec was due him each month.
Upon these representations he pro-
cured trusting friends who stood good
for carpets, furniture and the like,
so he could open an Office. In
this manner he secured furniture and
an opened an Office over the store
OF ID. w. Morse. IL was declared by his
admirers that he was q physician Of great
skill and every effort was put forth TO get q
business.
As time passed the doctor developed q
great passion for fishing, hunting and
prospecting. He told stories of his pros
pecting in Australia and the rich
mines he had discovered. One day
while out fishing he turned up
with some ore specimens which
he announced he had found near this city.
The ore was Of the highest grade, very
rich. and calculated to excite experts
and common folks alike. He talked
OF forming syndicate and Getting
in" some OF our business men. On this he
traded 70 quite an extent He kept get
ting deeper In debt, but promised to pay
as soon IS drafts came from "the old coun-
try" which he had sent for.
Early this week he announced that i'm
poftant business called him to Seattle. He
left town unmolested, stopped at the
Grand hotel. got interviewed by the
Seattle Democratic organ, and said be
was going to Victoria, Nanaimo and
New Westminster to get machinery
TO work his new mines here. He went,
but as soon as he reached Victoria he
wrote 10 friends here bidding them good
by, saying he hoped tn meet them in the
great future. but had changed his mind
and decided not to return to this city.
At once there began q strife among
creditors. The sign painter got out an at
tachment, the carpet man who had sold
the carpets called upon his sureties, drug
gist who had "bill of sale" for .,every-
thing in his Office" ran for draymAn
and wanted possession. i. then deveI-
oped that not all that was in the Office be-

of the furnishings was the prop
erty of the late DR.. /. r. Her
rick, whose widow. out of sympathy
for Frizeil. had loaned him her
late husbands effects. under the promise
of purchase as soon as the remittances
came from 'the old country" Among
these effects were the library and operating
instruments of DIR. Herrick. The Office
OF DIR. Frizell was entered by his various
creditors, when it was found almost bare.
II was discovered that the library and In.
struments secured from Mrs. Herrick. and
which had subsequently, been mortgaged
under bill of sale TO Druggist ].

the room, and although the
bookcases were securely locked, yet ali
was gone. II was found. In fact. that
careful preparation had been made for
fight before leaving Port Angeles. Even
his gold specimens, which he 40
proudly exhibited, we're gone, and Il In
now suspected that he had brought them
here from Australia and after all his great
gold find in which he succeeded in "roping
