summoned from the hotel where I was
stopping to attend an old woman in

been taken i'll. After I had fixed her
up her husband said to me: Doc, 1

amt got no ready cash about me. I'll
tell you what TIL do, though. See that
well over there? There's one O. the
finest trout you ever see in that there

WILL SEARCH FOR
THE "LOST ISLAND"
Mysterious Land That Lies
Somewhere Between Homo
lulu and San Francisco.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.-The
navy department has at last begun a
systematic search for 1.-The lost island
of the Pacific" Somewhere between
Honolulu and San Francisco. consid-
erably south of the beaten track of
vessels going to and from the Hawaiian
islands, is a mysterious bit Of land
which superstitious sailors believe is
bewitched.
At long and irregular intervals it
rises and lies with its head slightly out
of the water or just below the sur
face, where it threatens every passing
vessel. Most of the time it sinks to
unfathomable depths, where it rests
until some CONFUSION of the earth
sends it again to the surface, to either
sink gradually out Of sight or go down
with a rush.
Whether the disappearing isle is a
part OF the oceans bed that is thrown
up now and then by volcano. or
whether its puzzling actions are due
TO some other cause is a problem that
is too deep for the naval experts.
The island follows no schedule in it's
gyrations, and nothing definite is
known about it beyond the fact that
1t is always reported at the same spot,
which has been exactly located. 1t
formerly was charted as an island,
but on account of the conflicting re-
ports which have been received about
1t now is on the naval charts as a
doubtful danger"
The navy department officials think
there is an island or reef of some sort
there, and it is believed that the
American sloop of war Levan, which
disappeared in the middle of the Pa
cific in 1859, struck on it and went
down. This theory is adhered to in
spite of the fact that the Albatross,
which was sent out several years ago
to try to locate the island. reported
that there was great depth of water
all around the place where the bit of
land was supposed to be.
1t was to remove, if possible, all the
doubt and mystery which has aroused
the superstitions of sailors of all ma
lions that an official investigation was
decided on. The cruiser Tacoma sailed
from Honolulu yesterday with orders
to visit the lost island and ascertain
whether it is real or imaginary. She
will take soundings for miles in all
direction, and will cruise around for
reasonable time to give the island a
chance to show itself, if it is not in
sight when she arrives.
Commander Nicholson, who formerly
was in the bureau of navigation and
is familiar with all of the reports and
traditions concerning the mysterious
isle, is in command of the Tacoma.

POWERS CREDITORS
ARRANGE WITH BANK
Litigation Is Avoided in the Bankruptcy
Case at Austin.

Special to The Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, May 26.-Referee in
Bankruptcy Burns has returned from Aus
tin, where he presided at a meeting of
the creditors in the matter of the bank
ruptcy petition of j. F. and Louis w.
Powers. Recently Referee Burns in
structed Trustee Thomas III. Pridham to
bring suit against the Austin National
bank to recover $4,000 claimed to be held
by the bank in preference contrary to tie
bankruptcy law.
At the Austin hearing an agreement
was reached between the bank and other
creditors whereby the bank is to pay SO, 200
of this amount to the trustee and be
allowed to keep the rest thus avoiding
litigation. An expert accountant who has
been going over the Powers books states
that a shortage of $6,0 600 has developed,
but as he said there was nothing to show
this had been Wrongfully taken, but that
it might have been lost in the ordinary
course of business, no demand to make
good the shortage was made by the credi-
tors. Another adjourned meeting of the
creditors will be held in two weeks.
