Whether or not there would have been

Two Russian Parties
Lost in Arctic Region;
Missing Since 1912

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 9.-Two small
Russian expeditions which have been
missing in polar regions, have been
given up as apparently lost by the
Russian government. Canada, 1t was
announced here today. has been ask
ed by Russia to make public the fact
that these two exploration parties,
sent out by the Archangel Society In
1912 for the study of conditions in
the Russian far north, have not been
heard from for four years. The expe-
ditions were headed by K. A. Russanoff
and Lieut.. Brusiloff. .'......
The Russanoff party left Spitzen-
bergen in the motorboat Hercules for
Nova Zembla in August 1912. That
headed by Brusiloff started north one
month later. The latter expedition
was not considered adequately equip
ped.
Hearing nothing from neither ex-
plorer, the Russian government in
March, 1914, dispatched the Norwe-
gian ship Eclipse to the rescue
Eighteen months later the Eclipse re-
turned to Christiania after having
been ice-bound in the Arctic for many
months and having learned nothing OF
the fate Of the missing men.
Available records do not state the
| number of men who accompanied
Russanoff and Brusiloff expeditions
1t is known that Russanoff's party in
cluded the oceanagrapher Kutchin.

LONG LOST
WATCH IS
RETURNED
Fargoan Receives Timepiece
Stolen Ten Years Ago
Police Recover it

Ten years ago Richard J. O'Malley
Of this city had a fine watch, in solid
gold case, stolen from his rooms in
Duluth. From that date nothing was
seen or heard Of the time-piece until
yesterday, when Mr.. O'Malley received
a registered package through the
mails, it containing his long-lost
watch.
The watch was returned by the Du-
luth police department to whom the
theft of the chronometer was reported
decade ago.
Chief of Police c. NJ. Troyer stated
that he distinctly remembered of
OMalley reporting the theft to his Of
fee, while he was with the Duluth
force, and that it is the second longest
time that he remembers Of a watch
being returned after being stolen.
O'Malley, who was then living in
Duluth, was making his home at a
rooming house, where there were sew
eral other young men staying. One
night the rooms were prowled' by
thieves, O'Malley having a pretty good
idea of who the thieves were. The
theft was reported to the Duluth po-
as to whom the guilty parties were,
but nothing could be obtained to at
taCh the crime to the parties, nor was
any trace of the watch found.
AS is usual in such cases, the num-
ber of the watch and the make was
turned over to Pawnshop Inspector
Terry, of the Duluth force. This was
the last action that Mr.. O'Malley heard
of, and he had almost forgotten that
he had owned such a watch. A few
days ago he received a letter from In
spector Terry, stating that a watch
had been pawned in Minneapolis Of the
same number, and asking for further
particulars, which were furnished.
Yesterday the watch came to the
former owner-that is the movement
did, for the works had been put in a
common German silver case.
All the police departments of the
large cities exchange the numbers of
watches pawned, and it was in this
way that the time piece was found.
Although the case is missing Mr..
OMalley is delighted at getting the
movement back.
