BY the contending forces. IL being
very apparent that the Republican

and suggesting the alleged crime
date back over a space of three
years. when Johnston married Belle

Butte. Mont.
In the spring of 800 he took her
To Nome. On October of the same
year she mysteriously disappeared

letters recently from Nome pnrport-
ing to be dictated by Mrs. Johnston

out from Nome on three different oc-
easions. and each time told relatives
in Butte. II Is charged. that his wife
was well and happy in Nome, and
that having her power of attorney
he had come to Butte to dispose of
the property and get the money.
The suspicious OF the relatives were
aroused year ago, and last June
Joseph Warren, special agent for the
department of justice for the district
of Nome. was detailed on the case,
together with George b. Grigshy, dis

subdued
At the time the alarm was Earned
in. shortly before 3 o'clock. the New
Orleans firemen were in the midst of
their annual picnic at suburban
park and the engines and patrols re-
sponded with a mere handful of men.
1t was fully an hour before the de-
partment was in position tn make
anything like successful fight
against the fire. and even then the
handicap against IL was added to by
an inadequate supply of water.
The fire was one of tho most spec
tacular that has occurred in New
Orleans during recent years. Two
warehouses filled with wines and liq-
nors were among the buildings de-
stroyed. Barrels OF whiskey and
brandy exploded with thunderous
roars, which could be heard for
blocks and which shook the walls of
adjoining buildings and endangered
the lives of firemen engaged in fight
ing the flames.
Among the establishments burned
are: Central Glass Co.: George ID.
