to place John In an institution where he
would be under discipline. The boy,

Bowen Meets Disaster

NORFOLK, Va, October 21.-The
Norwegian steamer Avona, which ar
rived here today, landed seven members
of the crew of the four-masted schoon-
er Fannie C. Bowen. wrecked in mid
ocean on October az. Capt. Johanneson
of the Avona reported the loss of Capt
John Carter, skipper, and the first mate,
name not known.
The survivors landed here today
we're: Second Mate Samuel Nicholson,
Engineer Lonnie Sirnms. alias Arthur

the seamen, Gedon Nagsmussen.
Borne Liljeorphm, Nicolas Cipscan and
Tom Mole.
The Bowen was sighted by the Avona

51.24. The crew were found cIinging-
10 the awash derelict. Capt Carter

Bitterness About a Contract.


There had been bitterness between
the Fryers and Fischer, growing out
of the refusal of Fryre to employ
Fischer to do repair work on his cot
tage.
The axe, with which it is believed the
murders were committed and which
was found near Northeast creek, was
identified by Mrs. Fischer as her hus-
bands property.
Speaking about a theoretical motive
for the crime, Detective Dougherty
said: Fischer was refused job to
put a new roof on Flyers house last
week. He became angered Sunday
when he learned that John Trenton had
been given the job. When l told
Fischer that Trenton had got the con-
tract for the work he said, Yes, Jack
Trenton's a wood butcher This shows
that he was angry because he did not
get the job
How would you account for Miss
Fryer's death?" Dougherty was asked.
well, I believe that ae woman came
downstairs to investi gate when she
heard the scuffle outside the house, and
that the murderer killed her because
he knew that she recognized him and
would tell about the assault"
After Mrs. Fischer finished her story
in his presence, Fischer was led from
the room to his cell She's not telling
the TRUTH he muttered. While the
woman was telling the story Fischer
seemed apparently unconcerned. At
times he smiled. He is forty-six years
old and rather slender.

Desperate Fight for Life.

y wireless message to the local Of
fee of the Detroit and Cleveland Nav
igation Company this afternoon told OF
the desperate fight for life which the
crew of the Filler made against over
whelming odds. The story was told to
the captain of the Detroit and Cleve-
land steamer Western States by Capt
Nattison.
The storm struck the barge with ter
rife force last night. For more than
two hours she battled huge seas In
Lake Erie and finally reached Bar
Point in a leaking condition. For a
time her anchors held, but the storm
tore her from her moorings and swept
her six miles into the open lake.
