FOUND NEAR POINT LAWRENCE.
The Dead Body Of Philip wenzeI Discov
cred by Hunters.

cred by Hunters.
While hunting in the vicinity of
Point Lawrence, on Saturday last, Mr..
Wilson, who resides on Sanlish island.
and a companion of his, discovered
the body of dead man lying on the
beach near the old lime kiln, which is
situated on the north shore of Orcas
island and about one mile northwest of
Point Lawrence. Thinking they were
in Skagit county they lost no time but
went Immediately to AnacOrtes to re-
port the matter to the proper au-
thOrities who sent them from there to
Friday HarbOr telling them that they
were in San Juan county and not in
Skagit, as they at first thought. As
SOON as word reached here, which was
on Monday morning, Coroner Geo. s.
Wright and Sheriff Newton Jones took
the Thompson for Olga and walked
from there to Doe Bay, where they re-
manned until early Tuesday morning,
when they were taken to the spot
where the unfortunate man lay. Mr..
Carson, who resides in that vicinity,
accompanied them and at once identi-
fled the body us being that of Philip
Wenzel, Il German, vino not long sine.
filed Oh a piece of land near there.
The unfortunate man had evidently
been dead for some time, but on ac
count of the cold weather, and the cold |
salt water, at high tide covering him,
the body was still in a fair state of
preservation. He had on one shoe
and stocking, a good suit of navy blue
clothes, a double breasted blue flannel |
oversilirt and good neck tie. On his |
person were found several letters and |
papers, a certificate of deposit for $40 |
issued by the First National Bank, of
Seattle, and $62S0 in money, (tliree |
500 gold pieces and the balance in small |
chamge), which the coroner now has in |
his charge. The coroner ordered the
body buried on the lighthouse reserve
at Point Lawrence. Mr.. Wenzel had |
acted queerly for some time before his |
disappearance, and, judging from the
scene at his cabin, was likely insane. |
Hung Oh the corners of his bed were |
found queer pictures which he had |
trail near the house, and nearly every
thing was in state of confusion and |
disorder. Ten dollars was also found |
among his effects in the cabin. 1t
seems very strange that some person
who knew of his peculiar actions did
not report it before the poor man died.
Whether he fell off the bluff above the |
old lime kiln and was killed or met his
sad fate by drowning is not known,
but no bones were found broken, and |
only a bad scar OH the face. Ac-
cording to letters found, he had u niece |
residing in Vallejo, California.
Mr.. Philip Wenzel was born in Ger

William E. Chorus returned We'd
nesday from several weeks stay at the

He received a welcome and congratu-
lations from his old friends here
amounting to an ovation. He looks
well, and says he is all right.
A. w. Tiddy, lately visiting his
mother here, has returned to his home
at Washington, Pa. He is railroad
ticket agent at that place.
Miss Emma Roeder, one of Cumber-
lands charming young ladies, is the
guest of Misses Rose and Carrie
Haberlein.
Edward Duffy reached home few
days ago from a voyage across the
ocean to England, his native home.
He has good word for everybody he
met, the old isle and especially for the
staunch boat, ''Lucania," of the
Cunard line, that safely carried him.
He says "the 'Lucania' can't sink"

Where They Stand.

AS indicated last week the inter-
viewer obtained the following con-
illusions reached by Isaac Tross:
is fer silver, COS de only kind of money
l git paid i'll is silver money. I've bin in dis
town five or six yeahs and I've nebber seen
any gold money yit. Now, if dey take de
silver money away from us we won't git any
thing | been a-studyn' up dis money ques-
ton mighty hard for some time and find
dar is only eighty-tive thousand dollars in
. gold in dis country, and if dat be divided out
among us dar wont be cent apiece for us all
Now, if dey take silver way from us and we
got no gold, whar we gwine to git anything
for our work?
Another thing-Ive jist found out dat de
war want on account OBJ de niger anyway
and lots OF democrats done a whole raft of
fitin in de Union army as well as Gen. Grant
So have jist concluded dat hab served de
ole party long enough and it will hab to
squeeze along de best it can widout me for
erwhile.
Since the JOURNAL then appeared
Robert Bush, known to be well ap-
prised of Mr.. Tross' views, was ap-
preached and due inquiry made. Mr..
Bush responded with some show of
personal heat
Why, | amt gwine to hab no jint debate
wild Ike Tross COS he don't know what he
talkin about. He bin here only five or six
yeahs, and no Hampshire county niger kin
learn much IN dat time. Why sah he work
ed over dar for so cents er day, took his pay
in con meal, and den couldn't sell de meal
for 25 cents. Why? Cos meal too plentiful.
Now, wot is de use argifyin wild Teller
like dat?

quested to say that the more that go,
the cheaper the per capita fare. Two
hundred at least are wanted. Rates
will be known in Il few days. Mean
while, all desiring to go are asked to
leave their names with Emery G..

Two Frostburg Triumphs.

Thursday afternoon was a gala oc
casion at the Driving Park.
All day struggling Cumberlanders,
full of confidence in their man, ar
rived and exhibited funds enough to
make fiat silverite's eyes water.
But when covered and odds offered
they would point down the pike and
say-"walt for the wagon" At last
the wagon drew up with about 20 sports
and several hundred fluttering green
backs. Frostburg, seeing this, said
"boys, you are our meat !" The coun-
ter display was so prompt and agrees
that the Knoblyites didn't know what
to make of it. Many dollar offered
on Wilson found its way back into
Cumberland jeans and never showed
its green rear elevation in Frostburg
the live-long day. The rooters of the
city looked frost whiskered and snow
burnt, many communed and others
stood around and whistled for help.
At the Park both racers made an ex-
cellent show of ltheness and grit.
Each, though under excellent coach,
probably took more advice than he
knew what to do with. AT the sound
of pistol shot John Goldsworthy, the
Frostburg champion, was off first and,
with a lead of about feet, kept it all
the way round. Time-1st half mile
LOO! seconds. Hanson Wilson, the
Cumberland favorite, made an almost
superhuman effort to close the gap,
but 1t did not seem to vary an inch,
and Goldsworthy came over the line
quite the feet ahead. Time second
half mile, lib seconds, or 1929 for
the mile-said to be excellent speed.
Frostburg was jubilant Cumber-
land ioyless. The rooters limped
around like lame pallbearers at a
funeral, and when they left town the
cortege moved like a rheumatic pro-
cession heading for a morgue. How
many dollars they left behind nobody
will ever know.
Goldsworthy gained two advantages
the inside track and the start. Out
side of these he seemed to be evenly
matched by his competitor.
To probably the most expert bicycler
in this section the JOURNAL thereupon
submitted this question:
Had the start been even, is it not likely the
race would have so terminated?
He replied-"no; Goldsworthy
would have won anyhow
Johns friends will now endow him
with a champions medal.
When the running horse-race came
on George d. McNeill's Frostburg
mare, Latina" won the inside track.
William Hinkle's Cumbt rland horse,
"Dick Seivy," obtained the start, took
the inside, but before the quarter
stretch was reached Latina had
passed, taken the inside again and
came across the half-mile line sever al
lengths ahead. Time-56i seconds.
Second heat the Frostburg nag led
all the way round with same result.
Time-55 As seconds.
This was one of the most interesting
occasions the Park has ever afforded
The public. The attendance was ex.
cellent, and, save the two coats of sad
ness with which Fros.burg plastered
Cumberland hamboyancy, the pop
ular exuberance was entirely within
] bounds.
