Stole Northport smeIter Gold.

Rossland, B. C.-Peter Swanson a
saloonkeeper from Northport, Wash,
was arrested here on the charge OF
having stolen goods in his possession
His arrest is the outcome of a cam
paign against a ring of thieves who
have been stealing matte from the
Northport smelter for some time. The
matte is valued at from $3.50 to $1,000
per pound, and it is an easy matter
for men about the works to put a
pound or two in their pockets. This
has been done and the swag traded
at saloons about Northport until the
practice became notorious.
Swanson's place was a well known
fence for stolen matte, and when Swan.
son came to Rossland he had about
100 pounds of the stuff, valued at $1,000
in his possession. John S. Ingram
chief of police, made the arrest, and
Swanson was promptly arrained on a
charge of having stolen goods in his
possession. He pleaded guilty to the
charge. The maximum penalty is IA
years Imprisonment. He implicated
others.

Archduke Joseph came here in hopes

the archduke sprang upon him. The

Later there was another stormy in

Terrible Wreck Near London, Ont,

London, Ont,-A train wreck bring.
ing death to over two score of persons
and terrible pain and suffering to about
40 more, occurred at 1910 o'clock at
night at Wanstead, Canada, a station
on the Sarnia branch of the Grand
Trunk, forty miles from this city, when
the Pacific express, flying westward at
the rate of so miles an hour and crowd
ed to its capacity with passengers re-
turning to their homes from holiday
visits, crashed into an east bound
freight.
The latest estimate of the fataii-
ties is 80 killed and 35 more injured.
The darkness of the night and the
raging of a blizzard added horrors to
the wreck. Fortunately the entire hor-
ror was averted. A fire broke out
in the day coach, but was soon smoth-
cred with snow and coats which were
thrown on it before it gained any head
way.

steady domestic demand and there is
a good export movement of the lead
