HOW CAPTAIN
JOHNSON DIED
Wreck of Bark Prussia at Cape
Horn---EIeVen Men Saved
After Forty Days.

Captain Johnson of the schooner
Mary E. Foster received full particu-
lars of the death of his brother, Cap
tain Arthur Johnson. from exposure
when his vessel, the bark Prussia. had
been wrecked at Staten Island. A half
brother of Captain Johnson, residing
in Providence, r. l., went TO New
York and interviewed the carpenter of
the Inflated vessel, and wrote the facts

Foster, whose wife has communicated
them from Aberdeen, Wash, to a
friend in Honolulu.
The loss of the Prussia, bound for
Honolulu with coal, was reported in
the Advertiser from San Francisco
paper. 1t was. supposed the crew was
lost. BY the following account, from
the letter just mentioned. it will be
seen that eleven of the crew were
rescued from the scene of the ship
wreck after enduring exposure and
privation forty three days:
At midnight of June 10, in terrible
storm off Cape Horn, the bark Prus-
STA, laboring under lower topsails. was
wrecked off Staten Island. The Prus-
STA struck before anyone realized IL
and all hands were obliged to jump
for their lives.
Captain Johnson and the carpenter
were washed ashore together, so ex-
hausted that they could not stand
up They managed to crawl along the
beach to a place of shelter beneath
the impossible cliffs,
That morning the captain asked the
carpenter to look into his face and
notice any change.
Captain, you look badly" the car
penter replied.
We'll, will not last much longer
the sick man said, and in few min
utes Captain Arthur Johnson passed
away. He was buried on the beach.
Two men scaled the cliffs to light
fire as beacon of distress.
Two days later one OF the men froze
to death, the other returning with
both feet frozen.
For forty-three days the eleven sur
vivors subsisted upon seal.
The carpenter constructed frail
craft from wreckage and, having no
tools. it took him a month to get the
float ready.
Three men started out on the craft
and, working in and out the inIets
close in shore, reached the lighthouse
thirty miles distant. Here a crew was
secured and all started for the beach.
taking two weeks to reach the rest of
the party.
Captain George Johnson was much
broken up by the first news of the
wrecks of the Prussia, but was re-
lieved in mind very much to know
from his half-brothers letter, that his
brother did not have a long period of
agony before death.
When Mrs. Johnson wrote, November
1t, the Mary E. Foster was nearly
loaded for Chile, from whence no
charter had yet been decided on.

The application of Charles Botha

The application of Charles Botha
for a pardon is expected to come be-
fore the doard of pardons again soon.
Botha is serving life term for the
murder of his wife and man named
Tibbitts in Southern Utah. The kill.
ing was not denied, Botha claiming
the "unwritten law" as justification
for Staying Tibbitts and alleged that
the shooting of his wife was accident
al He was tried and sentenced to
death, but the sentence was after
wards committed to life imprison-
ment. We have remarked before that
this "unwritten law" business is over
worked In the case of Botha, how
ever, there seem to be some extenuat-
ing circumstances. He is an ignorant
German and at the time of the tragedy
some two or three years ago, unable
to speak or understand English He
appears to have had grounds for be-
lieving that Tibbitts was intimate with
his wife and above all he was not
adequately represented by an attorney

The strike of the street car men
was settled very satisfactorily. The
men got the advance in wages they
demanded and to which they are fully
entitled. For the first two days OF
the strike it looked not very hopeful
for an early settlement and certainly
not very bright for the men, but fort
unately the mistake made by the
men in insisting that not only the
question q wages be arbitrated, but
that the car company agree to sub
nit questions which might arise in
the future to arbitration, and also
agree to employ only members Of
the union, was ratified. The CON
pany conceded the demand of the
men for higher wages and agreed that

THE TIMBER SUPPLY.

police handled the strike creditably or
otherwise. Our opinion is the police
didn't handle it at all. They simply
let it alone. On the first day of the

part of disinterested spectators and
left the work of keeping order and
handling the crowds to the sheriff
and his deputies and it must be said
they did very good work.

SEN. CURTIS AND CRAZY HORSE

United States Senator Charles Curtis
of Kansas is the only person with In
dian blood In his veins who ever sat In
the United States Senate. His mother
was quarter.bred Kaw and his father
an officer in the United States Army
who saw considerable service during the
early days Of the frontier.
Senator Curtis, in his unique career
has been much in the public eye, but
probably his first appearance showed th'
kind of stuff Of which he was made
It was about thirty years ago in th,
days of the old Kansas Interstate Fair
The great attraction OF the week was
ten-thousand-dollar running race. Mr.
Curtis, then sixteen years old, was 4
black-eyed, black haired swarthy lad,
straight and silent as any Indian who
ever lived. Among the speediest horsss
In that part of the country was a raw
boned outlaw colt known as ''Crazy
Horse" The mare had a peculiar habit
of baking just before the finish line.
Curais knew this, but being in need OF
money, calmly announced his intention
of riding the colt in the race. "Crazy
Horse showed the other ten starters
clean heels fox three.quarters of the
distance. As the lad came down the
home stretch, clear winner by five
lengths, the crowd along the track, for
they had no grandstands there in those
days, shouted in frenzy. The roar reach
ed the ears of Crazy Horse who
promptly dropped back on his launches.
Curtis was hurled through the air like
a meteor and landed on the roof of a
training stable, far away, with a crash.
He was badly hurt. For time his
life was dispared of, and he bears the
mark OF the accident to this day in the
shape of an ugly scar.~
Cprtis's first words when he reeoy-
cred consciousness were, "I'll ride 'er,
Doc, Ill ride 'er!'
And he did. Swathed with bandages,
he sneaked out from his little cot in
the racing stables a week later, SO sore
he could hardly move. But he won the
biggest race of the day on Cray
Horse" 1t was that gritty performance
that stamped him man in the eyes of
his associates.-Success Magazine.
