Bow Caught Digging for Treasure
(which They Had Cached
Away.
STOLE sINGOTS, OF BULLION
Confronted With I Evidence o.
Guilt, Young Scalnps Con-
fess and Arei Taken
Into Custody.

Chicago. Feb. 13-The Inter-ocean
today says:
While digging for their stolen treas
ure on the shore of Lake Michigan
Henry Germun, Is years Of age, and
George Jensen, 16 years Of age, have
been arrested by South Chicago police
for stealing 1000 pounds Of silver bull
lion from the National Smelling & Re-
fining Company. A foot below the sur
face seven ingots Of silver each weigh
ing 100 pounds, were found.
Confronted with this evidence, Ger
nun and Jensen confessed that they
had broken into the strong room and
said that they had stolen ten ingots in
all, but sold three Of them. While
passing the plant one evening, they
found one Of the bars in a window
opening into the silver room was loose
in its socket, so that it could be pulled
out and replaced. They used this dis
covery in effecting an entrance. When
it grew dark, they would repair to the
plant of the refining company, lying in
the shadow Of fence until the watch
man had made his rounds. Then they
would remove the bar, open the win
dow and enter.

STEAMER FULTON TOTAL WRECK
Fuel Gave Out and She Went to snore

gal Cave Out and She Went to Shore
On the Beach at Port Oxford
steamer Fulton
The steamer Fulton, which departed
from Astoria last Friday, is total loss
at Port Orford, where she was beached.
The Fulton is an oil burner and her
loss ia due to the failure Of her fuel
supply on the trip down the coast. She
took on 400 cords of fir cordwood at
oak Point last week and was bound
for San Francisco when disaster over
took her.
According to dispatch from Marsh,
field, the Fulton was compelled to put
into Port Orford on Saturday. She had
encountered heavy weather and her fuel
supply was very low. The steamer Al
lance another oil burner, happened
along and went to the assistance OF the
Fulton. but the weather was so rough
she could not render any AID, nor place
oil aboard the distressed steamer. The
Alliance remained with the Fulton
Wednesday until midnight, when she
was compelled to put to sea. She went
to Marshfeld and the tug Columbia was
sent to the F'ulton's assistance.
The Columbia has returned to Marsh
field and her master reports that the
Fulton was on the beach when he left
Port Oxford. Evidently the storm had
driven her ashore after the departure
of the Alliance. The Fulton's main
mast was gone, the deck load had been
washed away and she was waterlogged'
The master Of the Columbia ex-
: pressed the conviction that the Fulton
would be total loss, although there
was little chance of any Of the steam
er's crew being drowned.
