TOLLS TIGHTEN IN
 WIFE MURDER CASE

Seattle, Sept. 15-Evidence that Lee Johnson, tho Nome mining man charged with numbering his wine and afterwards cutting up and attempting to burn the body, altered the will left by the woman is in the hands of the officers. Under the name of Isabelle Gilchrist the woman had will drawn by Attorney James Lawlor of this city, and now Lawlor has to tho off, cers pointed out the alterations made in the document.
 When Miss Gilchrist came to Law Tor she was on her way to Nome and was in q hurry to have her will drawn up. The will as it exists at present has been so altered as to practically invalidate 1t. The hand writing of the lawyer Is clean and legible but by q cramped hand new clauses have been inserted and the names of the first testators have been torn off and as substitute has been written "Have another will to property in Canada" The name of the substi- tuted beneficiary Is unintelligible.
 The officers believe that the eyi- dence that the will has been altered establishes cause for the murder of Mrs. Johnson and they arc confident that Johnson will be convicted.

MAN OF MYSTERY
 IN HAzLETTv|LLE

l.. A. Clarke, man with q secret and transit, was up bright and early this morning and accompanied by his trusty chain-men and rod carriers hied himself into launch and thence to Hazlettville. Now Hazlettville, be it known, was at one time selected as townsite and coast terminal of a railroad and the project was a child of the nimble brain of John Rosone whose head recently fell under the Guggenheim-M Morgan hatchet.
 It is said that when MT. Rosenc's official ornament to his shoulders suf- fered decapitation ho rallied his faculties sufficiently to bind up the wounds with the maps, field notes and other data affording information concerning the proposed route to the proposed railroad. Hence it is figured in certain circles that it is to replace said information that the energies of Clarke etal arc being employed.
 The foregoing explanation of the mystery is by no means the only ono extant and it is & person with poor mental equipment who cannot ad- vance a theory as to the presence in Valdez of the surveyors. One thing is certain and that is that at the close of yesterday's activities the outfit left q nice little row of stakes along Res ervation avenue, just across the line marking the limit of the townsitc. There was also visit to the office of the deputy clerk where search was made for certain records.
 In connection with the presence of MT. Clarke old timers riso to remark that he is the first engineer to come to town who has not been entertained at banquet. No one can explain this apparant departure from estab- lished custom, unless it be on the hypothesis that the citizens of Valdez have become blase and are weary of the banquet habit.
 Whatever the purpose, there is no doubt as to the fact that Clarke is working at the behest of the Gugg- enheims and the prevailing opinion is that it is to further the dog in the manager policy that has heretofore marked the company's operations in Valdez. By establishing surveys tho Guggenheims make it possible for themselves to by going into court de- lay the operations of any other com pany and possibly entirely discourage competitors.
 There Is, too, report that the pro gross of operations out of Cordova has encountered now difficulties in tho way of quickssnd that swallows 3oo-foot piles as though they were toothpicks. Some express the belief that Valdez will yet become the base of operations of the duggenhoim road into the interior.

 It is not known how great is the loss of life but the mortality is bound to be excessive. The ruin wrought by the hurricane is believed to be the worst calamity ever suffered by the British West Indies.

REYNOLDS Is OUT
 DECLARES BROWN

William Carson Brown of New York, who was in Valdez with E. T. Teter of the Reynolds Alaska Development Company last spring, denies that the Reynolds faction has regained con- trol of the corporation. In letter to a federal official here he says:
 ''I notice in the Prospector of July 30 that Reynolds is in control now of the company's affairs. This is ab- solutely untruthful. He has nothing whatever to do with it, and as vet no officers have been elected to take the place of Kistler, Teter, Brady and the rest. In fact the meeting in Se- attle has developed a most bitter hatred of Reynolds, Brundage and Mason, who are assisting Rey holds, and 1t looks to me now as if that Se- attle meeting was going to be fail ure of it's purpose, and that the pres ent officers will hold over until the next annual meeting. Reynolds and his clique tried some revolutionary tactics which did not work, and now they don't know where they are at. Please tell everybody you sec that that statement in the paper was un- true and also Reynolds is not free rom the U. s. indictment, and is still out on bail, the case coming think some time next month."

The Weekly Prospector

Copies of the Weekly prospector will be given to daily subscribers who wish to send them outside.
Valdez weekly prospector., 1908-09-17

The Prospector publishes this states ment from Mir. Brown because the people of Valdez are greatly interested in all that pertains to Reynolds and the Reynolds companies and it seems to be difficult to learn the real facts. Both the Reynolds faction and anti Reynolds faction persistently claim to be in control.

Duluth, Sept. 11-With the coming of afternoon yesterday there came al- so change in the direction of the wind that brought slight relief to the fire threatened districts of Minnesota. Checked by the necessity of facing the wind instead Of aided by being driven by it, the fire has to an extent needed the efforts of those working frantically to save their homes and themselves and it is now believed that further danger has been averted.
 1t is as yet too early to make any comprehensive estimate of the loss suffered by reason of the fire but it will be very great. Hundreds of req idences have been burned as well as barns and farming implements, Great sections of country have been laid waste, crops have been destroyed end timber has been ruined. So far no loss of lie" has been reported.
 Duluth, Wis., Sept. 12-Unless there comes heavy rain within the next forty eight hours destruction by for est fire will be the fate of every Cook county town and hamlet along the north shore of Lake Superior, At present the majority of the inhabitants of these towns are huddled along the shores of the lake, surrounded by their personal belongings and await ing the moment when it will be nec- essary for them to take to the water in order that life may be spared to them.
 The change in the wind that yester. day brought promise of relief to those who for the past week have been fire harrassed, has brought threatened disaster to those of Cook county, and q vast area is surrounded by fire, even now licking at the outposts of the settlements. There has not been a drop of rain since July 10 and the whole country is sun-baked to a con- dition as infammable as is finder.

Good Ball
Games
Enthusiastic Crowd Witues=
Ses games at Wells Park.

Last Sunday afternoon two good
games of baseball were played at
Wells Park. Quite large and
enthusiastic crowd was present and
enjoyed the games immensely.
The first game was played be-
tween the Stars and Waikapus and
won by the latter by score of 5 to
3. Although there were threats of
a protest on the umpire's decision,
no such thing has been done, the
Stars having found that the umpire
was right.
Bento for the Stars pitched a fine
game, not allowing a man to walk,
but the support given him by his
team knocked his work to pieces.
Fumbles and errors cost the Stars
at least three runs.
The Waikapu were the first to
tally scoring 2 runs in the second
inning and one more in the third.
The Stars evened this score in the
seventh and eight innings, and the
Waikapus scored two more runs in
the ninth.
When the time to play arrived
Umpire Boote was called upon to
yell play ball' but refused to do
any further umpiring for the
league. w. F. Kaae was called
upon to take his place, and although
there were several objections to his
decisions by the Stars, Kaae did
mis- work well and in accordance
to Spaldings.
The second game was between
the Kahuluis and the Healanis.
The former won by the score of 5
to 3, showing the audience that
they can play some, if given time
to practise. The Healanis showed
up weak in batting, and many
errors were charged to them.
The victors scored one run in the
first inning and two in the third
and ninth innings, while their
opponents scored 2 in the sixth
and one in the ninth.
Tomorrow's games will be be-
tween the liealanis and Waikapus
at 1:30 p. m. and the Kahu uis VS..
Stars at $50 p. N.
