She wrote Sheriff Niles who i'm

In the meantime the chief OF

the sheriff and the letter was re-

closed photograph of Johnson,
taken while in a cot in the hos
pital, which is a perfect likeness
of Sawyer, and is easily recognized
at a glance.
The story accompanying the
picture tells of Johnson and Ia

slipped, grasped an electric light
cord, popped it and plunged the
aqueduct in total darkness.
Johnson and his companions slid
