'OLDFST BLEWETT MINER
DRI NKS TOO MUCH
John Heavier, Partner of Johnson, Who
Burned in Hotel Fire Dec. 30, Bur-
led Beside His Friend

John Johnson and John Heavier,
for over twenty years never separated.
Occupied same cabin. Ate and drank
and slept together. In the Overland
Hotel fire, Dec. 80 last, Johnson lost
his life, and ever since Heavier has
been lost, disconsolate, broke up
One day last week he came down from
the Blewett mining camp for the pur-
pose OF setting up tomb stone he had
ordered, over the grave Of his depart ed
comrade in the local cemetery, leaving
instructions at the same time in the
event of his death, that he be buried
beside Johnson. After disposing OF
this business he devoted his time to
bowling up, drinking freely, and pur
chased a bottle of alcohol which
he took with him on his way to the
camp last Friday, leaving the
alcohol at the Blewett posloffice. On
Saturday he came after his bottle. On
Sunday he was found in his cabin, ly-
ing on the floor dead, having fallen out
of chair. He overturned an oil lamp
in his fall, which however went out,
else he would have been burned, as
was his partner. The bottle of alco-
was partially empty, showed that he
had drank some Of the liquor.
Without evidence indicating de-
liberate purpose to kill himself the be-
lief generally prevails that he was indif-
ferent about the result. He had been
drinking for several days and appeared
despondent ever since his friend lost
his life, and frequently said he wanted
to Join Johnson, wherever he was. On
his last spree it is more than likely
that he deliberately drank more alcohol
than he was accustomed to drinking
with the intention of having it result
fatally.
Heavier and Johnson carried on
mining at Blewett for twenty years or
more, and always had enough gold
dust and nuggets to pay for all they
wanted. They came to Leavenworth
three or four times every year, remain
ing from three days to week. On
these occasions they would get com
fortably loaded, though were never
noisey or boistrous and gave the officers
no trouble. Both men had strict no
tions of honesty and could get credit
anywhere. Heavier was 68 years old.
He was, according to his wishes, laid
to rest on Tuesday beside his old part
ner. Two cousins of his, Ira and
Robert Mortimer came here from Sun
set. Wash, to attend the funeral, and
will also look after the effects OF Heav-
ner. He has a sister living at Sun
set. Wash, who is said to be quite
wealthy. A. A. Piper, station agent
at Wenatchee, is also related to John
Heavier.
Magistrate Graham was called to
hold an inquest over the remains but
elected nothing of importance beyond
what is above told.

Americans were endange No re-

auency of raids in the neighborhood
of London by hostile aeronauts. Sir
Cecil declared that the great city
practically was unfortified; absolutely
so far as the residential sections were
concerned. Millions of people were
crowded In congested quarters, he said,
and it would be impossible for British
artillerymen to defend these sections
against aeroplane or Zeppelin attacks.
because any shells sent into the sky
toward aircraft almost certainly would
work great destruction of life when
their fragments returned to earth in
the crowded city

Danger to Foreigners.

The ambassador emphasized the fact
that a large number of Americans and
other English people are resident
in London. and that located there are
the foreign embassies and legations,
and many hospitals and charitable in
stitutions. all of which are greatly en-
dangered by the Zeppelin attacks. AS
airships usually operate in thick
weather. at night, or above the clouds,
Mr. Lansing was reminded, their COM
manders can only approximate in the
most general way the landing place OF
the bombs they drop.
The history of the German airmen,s
attacks on England so far the ambas-
sador asserted, is that they have had
no effect whatever upon the army or
defensive works. and that their de-
structive powers have been felt en-
tirely by innocent on-combatants ana
private property. -

Surg. Gen. Gorgas Honored.
In bestowing the distinction of doctor

era wford Gorgas, L. S. A, Father Don
Ion said:
That William Crawford Gorgas, man
remarkable alike for knowledge and up
rightness of life, has done great serv-
ice. not to his native land alone. but to
all nations, is a fact we'll known to all.
And so it is the duty of this university
which cultivates learning to evidence in
solemn assembly some mark of its ap-
probation and gratitude.
For a long time we have been de-
sirous of enrolling on the roster of our
alumni the name of that man who let
tered every object his hand touched,
not by any magic art, but by a deep
and accurate knowledge of science.
1T was this man who, as the daily
press tells US, with no thought of hard
ship personal danger. labored day
and night for eight years in converting e
pestilencela laden marshes of Panama
into fertile plains and, thanks to his
ability and energy, by the opening of
the Panama canal. the treasures of the
whole world can be more speedily and
more securely transported. Because
of these we'll known facts we have
judged William Crawford Gorgas
worthy of the highest honors of this
university"
