RARE SPECIMEN DISCOVERED
 OF PREHISTORIS DINOSAUR

PATRICIA, Alta, Oct. 4-Dis- covery of a rare and valuable speci- men of a carnivorous dinosaur, which became extinct, according to conservative estimates, three million years ago, was recently made by Dr. J. 4. Allen, a member of the Uni versity of Alberta vertebrate palae- pathological field party, operating on Sand Creek, eight miles northwest of this place.
 Much difficulty is being expert enced in collecting the specimen, with a great many tons of rock to be removed. Only about half of the skeleton has been unearthed up to the present time but the work is being continued as rapidly as pos sible. The tail has not been located as yet. The skull is in a fine state of preservation and one lower jaw has been removed from the rocks. It is 34 inches long, armed with teeth about two or three inches in length. Many bones of the body have been removed and packed for ship ment to the university. Dynamite has been used to remove the rock which was over the skeleton and the large sections have had to be hauled to the prairie level, about 200 feet up over a narrow trail.
 The carnivorous dinosaur was a formidable beast, about 25 feet long and was biped. It ran or walk ed upon the long, powerful hind legs, while the fore legs were very short.

STEAMER TANANA HITS SNAG;
 FOUNDERS BELOW NENANA

The steamer Panama, which was dispatched to the mouth of the Tolovana river last week to put the White Pass barges in winter quarters, encountered a snag in the main channel of the Tanana river on the return trip and is now resting on the bottom of the river, close to the right limit bank, with about two feet of water flowing over the deck. The accident occurred yesterday .::.~ .:. .s.. =.
 The steamer was in what is known as Van Vleet channel, through which she had passed the night before, with several barges in tow. Without warning, the boat ran afoul a snag, tearing a hole of considerable size in the bottom, and permitting the forward compartment to fill rapidly. The steamer was backed of the snag immediately and a run made for shore, the steamer arriving with in few feet of the bank before it sank.
 In addition to the damage done by the snag, the steamer is also hogged, but it is believed the boat can be raised during the winter and made as good as new. A cabin is now being built on the shore, close to the boat, and the work of rescue will be undertaken just as soon as water conditions will per nit.
 The Commission ferry Midnight Sun was dispatched down river late yesterday, to bring up the mem bers of the crew and the ships stores, and arrived back at an early hour this morning, leaving three men to look after the disabled steamer.

History Of The Case

James E.. Mahoney, former ralI- road brakeman on parole from the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla, where he had been serving a sentence for robbery, was charged with first degree murder August II, 1921, three days after the body of woman identified as that of his wealthy bride, Kate Nj. Mahoney, had been found in trunk in Lake Union.
 Mahoney was 38 years old at the time of his arrest. His bride, to whom he had been married Febru- ary 10, 1921, was 67. She was re- puted to own property in Seattle and elsewhere valued at more than $200,0O0.
 Mrs Mahoney was last seen alive April 16, as far as the police could determine. On that day, in company with her husband, she had visited Dr. Frank E. Wood, Seattle dentist. Dr. Wood later identified the body found in Lake Union as that of Mrs. Mahoney, through dental work he had performed for her.
 On the night of April Is, it was shown at the trial, Alvin A. Jorgen- sen, an expressman, was called to Mahoney's apartment at 409 Denny Way to take a trunk to LakeU nion. After the body had been found, the expressman identified Mahoney as the man who had directed him to take the trunk to the lake. The pro- prietor of a boat house pointed out Mahoney as the man who had rent ed a small skiff April Is, and had failed to return it.
 Mahoney first came under sus- picion in connection with his wife's disappearance when Mrs. Kate Stew art, of Vancouver, B. C., niece of the missing woman, received a number of letters, purporting to have been written by her aunt and dated from towns in Idaho and Montana. Her investigation resulted in the arrest of Mahoney May 3 on a charge of forgery in connection with an order on a safe deposit box maintained by his wife. Two addi- tional forgery charges followed, the two originating from an elleged fraudulent attempt by Mahoney 10 gain control of his wife's property.
 Following his arrest, Mahoney maintained that he and his wife had left Seattle for St. Paul the night of April 16, and that he had left her there, returning to Seattle while she continued East with the expectation of visiting Cuba. A nationwide search was instituted, but she could not be located. Mean while, police acting on clues obtained from the expressman and the owner of the boat house, placed divers at work to drag the bottom of Lake Union in the hope of finding the trunk which Jorgensen had describ- ed. The trunk, with the body partly decomposed by quicklime and bear ing the marks of blows from some blunt instrument, was brought to the surface August 8.
 Examination of the stomach con- tents revealed enough narcotics to kill ten or fifteen men" according to Dr. William Dehn, of the chem istry department of the University of Washington, who conducted the analysis. After Mahoney had been charged with murder, jailors report

lection of the cast by her director.
Frances Marion, who is also the au-
thor of the story.

Wreck of Schooner
Carrier Dove Ends
Adventurous Career

Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 1-(By Mall)
The recent wreck of the four-mast-
ed American schooner Carrier Dove
on a coral reef off the west coast of
Molokai, the ''leper isle" of the Ha-
waiian group, brought to an end an
adventurous and checkered sea ca
reer that belied the vessels pacific
name, and breathed of the days of
real sailing when steam was I'M
known.
AS cabled. the Carrier Dove went
ashore while enroute from the South
Sea island of Tonga to San Francisco
with capacity of cargo of 500 tons
of copra. She broke up after sever
al hours of pounding and, with her
cargo, was a total loss but the crew
was saved. 1t was the third and last
time the vessel had been on the
rocks. The two previous times she
had been pulled off with only slight
damages. On each of the occasions,
however, the Carrier Dove ran into
extraordinary adventures.
When she rested on the rocks at
Levuka, Fiji, in February, 1920, she
was extricated and her damages re-
paired, but Captain Gus Stoltenberg,
the master. was refused permission
by the British authorities to sail
from port, he said. The British au-
thorities threatened to send a gun
boat after him, the captain said, but
he ran up the American flag, sailed,
land nothing came of it,
In September, 1908, the Carrier
Dove had come to rest on the rocks,
this time in the China Sea near Sha-
weishan. Pirate junkmen svarmed
aboard, routed the crew and forced
them from the vessel. This led to a
report to the State Department that
the ship had been lost. The pirates
were forced to leave the Carrier Dove
by heavy weather. Captain c. Jen-
sen, then master, returned with some
of the crew and found the vessel loot
ed of most of her portable fittings.
A great part of her lumber cargo was
removed and she was floated. being
repaired and placed in commission
later.
On February IA, 1908, the Carrier
Dove had arrived in Honolulu harbor
on "madhouse' voyage from Biera,
South Africa, with only Captain Jen-
sen, the mate and two of the crew
able to work. The vessels log told
the story of the tragedy, the re-
maindcr of the crew having either
died or been left in hospitals en-
route.
