But Passengers Land Safely.

LONDON. Sept. THE British
schooner Amazon was caught in one
of the worst storms that has ever
been known to visit the coast of

of the boat Immediately set about to
rescue the passengers and this they
succeeded in doing. but 20 of the
crew were drowned.
Four passengers were also drowned
while trying to make their escape
from the steamer Queen, which was
disabled in a terrific storm near
Seley, but the hundreds of other pas
sengers were safely placed in life
boats and saved. The four drowned

others in scramble for the life
boats. The crew did excellent rescue
work, and declined to leave the ship
until the last passenger had been
placed by them in one of the life
boats.

Merchants Mulcted by Many Checks,
Apparently From Contractor.
WALLACE, Idaho, Sept. L.
Worthless checks in sums varying
from SIS to $500 have been discovered
within the last day or two. The
First National bank has detected
about $500 worth, the State Bank Of
Commerce $500 and the Wallace Ma
tional bank about 500 worth, in
handling checks of their customers.
Some of the checks have been in
circulation some time before their
fraudulent nature was discovered and
since they have been Endorsed one
or more times each, merchants de-
posting them in the banks will have
to stand the loss.
No clue is obtainable as to who
put them in circulation. They are
identical with the checks of Winston
Brothers. contractors on the Milwau-
kee. They purport to have been
drawn on the First National bank OF
Missoula, have been perforated in
the usual manner foT the amount
drawn and a rubber stamp engraved

been used. The name of ]. A. Jinks
is signed at the foot.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept Lee
II. Johnson. a wealthy mining man

buried her body under his cabin and
then this spring disinterred Il. cut
II into three parts and cremated
them for the purpose OF conceallng
his crime.
Johnson, when confronted with the
evidence that detectives had secured
against him, admitted that his wife
was dead, but. maintained that she
had committed suicide. and that she
had asked him through note left
to him to make her funeral secret
SO that none would know OF the
cause OF her death. johnson when

he married her he took her to Nome.
and while johnson has made several
visits to this place since then. his
wife never accompanied him To
those who made Inquiries concerning
her he stated that she was living at

ing his stay-in the east he, together

A. Burnett, made visit to Mr. Nor
quist's old home at Red Wing, MINI.
Mr. Norquists's business carried him
to st. Paul. Minneapolis. Chicago and
st. Louis, and his visit in each of
these places was such that he was
enabled to form good idea of con-
ditions as may exist In the markets
OF trade and the financial world.
Continuing MIR. Norquist said; Il
made visit to all of the large
establishments most all of them,
both in the retail and wholesale line.
My observations told me that con-
