They have been told when the flood is seen approach ing over the horizon someone will get on top of Castle Rock and fire a pistol three times and every time any one fires a shot at the leased claims on Copper Queen hill these new arriv- als rush to their doors to see if the flood has really arrived.

began to drink little heavier than,
he should.
within the last year Lynch bed
came unstrung. His nerves went tof
pieces. People in the office with him

to calm himself, to sit quietly for al
few moments, but he couldn't and;
told them he couldn't control himself.
Lynch carried a pistol occasionally;

was expressed when Lynch was learn
ed to have fled from Bridgeport. ItI
was learned that last week he walked
down to the waterfront with a buns
die to which he tied a heavyweight.
He tossed it over the wharf It isl
cancelled checks which he wanted toi
keep from auditors who he knew
would be set to work on his accounts.
An effort was made today to recover
the mysterious packet.
Lynch's defalcations amount, it is
estimated to less than $4,000. Audi
tors have established the fact that he
has been somewhat irregular in his
accounts for upwards of a year, maxi

thus balancing his books from week 10

week, would show his account to bs

which he is believed to have converted
to his own use was small is the be-
lief of the auditors. The amount mis-
sing is now thought to be about $t,500
but there is a possibility that it may
reach $4,000.
Lynch left his trunk, ;.f,r many per-

That Edward r. Lynch, the abscond-
ing accountant and office manager of
the Schwarzchild & Sulzberger Co..
decamped early this week with the
funds of the company with the sole
idea Of seeking a year Of absolute
rest and relaxation before his death,
is the conclusion arrived at by the
police today after an exhaustive ex-
animation of the circumstances at
tending his disappearance.
Lynch confided to his friends-of
whom he had but few confidants-that
he had only a year or so to live. Doc
tors had told him he was suffering
from an incurable attack of lung trou-
BILE. He planned his departure well
in advance, telling several outside Of
his business acquaintances that he ex-
pected to go at the end of last week.
He told the people at his cosy apart
ment at 342 East Main street in case
he didn't come back, friends would
care for his belongings.
One of the few BridgeporterS who
knew Lynch we'll said of him today:
Lynch was one Of the hardest work
ing young men I ever met. Day and
night and Sunday you could find him
at the office of the meat house, por-
ing over his ledgers and getting his
accounts IN SHdpe he worked mere
for about ~ ears. I don't believe
there is another accountant in Bridge
port who worked SO hard, nor one who
was so faithful
''In his position Lynch was entrust-
ed with cash amounting to upwards
of $500, 600 a year. 1t was given in
his charge. He could have made a
getaway with a sum many times
greater than is missed at the beef
house if he wanted to be dishonest for
the shake of the profit Of the thing.
."I knew Lynch probably better than
anTones else in Bridgeport. He often
spoke Of his ambitions. He started
to work for the beef house in Chicago
at very small salary, and he work.
ed with the same zeal and fidelity as
he displayed here. His promotion
came little by little, until he was
placed finally at the head of the To-
cal office. His salary was $40 a week.
Not often-but once in while-he
spoke bitterly of the modern system
Of expense cutting in the salaries of
trusted employees. He rallied against
it especially when he was i'll. Several
times he was laid up with colds, for

DEATH OF AMERICAN
KILLED ON HIS RANCH

Washington. April s-The death of
George W. Crichfield, of New Jersey,
the American investor shot near his
ranch at Tuxpan, near Mexico. last
Monday, was reported to the State
Department, today, by United States
Consul c.. A Miller, at Tampico. Only
yesterday Consul Miller telegraphed
that Crichf1eld was improving and
would probably recover.
Miller is proceeding to Tuxpan to
investigate the Staying of Crichfield.
He is accompanied by Crichfield's
brother, who arrived at Tampico, to-
day.
The department ordered the matter
taken up with the Mexican authorities
and a thorough inquiry made.
In the meagre dispatches received
by the State Department, it was stat
ed that Crichfield was shot from am
bush. No details of the attack have
been received and it is not known
whether the slaying was due to the
revolutionary disturbances or not.
Crichfield had large interests in Mex
leo and also in other South and Gen.
trail American countries.
He formerly lived in Jersey City.

DR.. F. NJ. WILSON
And DAUGHTER
ON THE WRECK
Return Today, None the
Worse for Experiences
Aboard Stranded Steamer
Passengers Took Matter
Calmly and Played Bridge
Whist to While Away the
Time.

DIR. Frederick II. Wilson and his
daughter, Miss Ethel Wilson, who
were passengers aboard the North
German Lloyd steamer Princess Irene
which ran ashore off Fire Island early
Thursday morning. arrived in Bridge
port this morning none the worse for
their experience. They were, taken
from the wrecked steamer with the
{ other passengers in life boats yester-
day afternoon.
"A wreck in calm weather" is the
way DR.. Wilson describes the mishap
20 the big ocean greyhound.
"If the weather had been stormy, the
story might have been altogether DIFF
1erent." said DR.. Wilson this morning,
but as il was. there was nothing so
very alarming about it.
IT myself was not even aware Of 1t
when the Princess Irene ran aground.
This occurred at oclock4 in the
morning. and I slept right through 1t.
When ] got up at 7:30 I asked the
steward why the steamer had stopped,
and he told me that she was aground.
Some OF the other passengers told me
that they were awakened by the
bump.
After the wreck. we spent most OF
our time playing bridge until we were
taken off yesterday. The company'S
officials treated us spiendidly. Some
Of the officers did excellent work in
auieting the steerage passengers. One
little italian official whom they call
the commissionaire'. whose duty 1t is
TO see that the steerage passengers
are properly treated, jumped right in
among his charges and did great work
in quieting and reassuring them.
1--WE were taken off in life saving
boats yesterday afternoon and trans
Fe--ad to the steamer PrinZ Friedrich
Wilhelm. The steerage passengers
We're taken of first.
The weather was not rough, but a
strong ocean swell was running. In
transferring the passengers to the life
boats they did not let the passengers
make the step themselves, but sta
toned three strong sailors to do the
work and the passengers practically
stepped into their arms. A man who
was not used to boats might otherwise
Tniss his footing but as 1t was. all the
passengers were transferred without
rhe slightest accident
1T was what you might call a mild
shipwreck in fair weather. IF the
weather had been rough, our position
would have been dangerous and there
might have been a much different
story to tell The passengers as a
whole took the matter very calmly,
and did not worry much"
DR.. Wilson and Miss Wilson have
just returned from a trip to India. DR..
Wilson is a great traveller and with
his family has been to pretty nearly
all civilized countries on the globe.
