C a be Johnson, a well known miner |

Chas. Thornton in the Commission

arrest by Deputy Marshal Erfc Joht j

the District Attorney’s office.
Acting under a search warrant,
charging illegal manufacture of in- (
toxicanting liquors, representatives
of the Marshal’s office visited John
son’s cabin on the Third Beach on |
^Flat creek about 4 miles north of,
town. Johnson was absent but the
deputies found a full grown boobc |
making plant on the premises, in
cluding a large still and other appar
atua, together with several demi
johns containing some of Johnson’s
best brew and three 50 gallon bar
rels of mash in course of fermenta
tion. When apprehended Johnson
readily admitted that he had "beea
making a little" and pleaded guilty
on arraignment. In addition to im
posing the stated fine. Judge Thorn
ton issued an order that his plant
should be destroyed root and branch.
The defendant is said to have ex
pressed to friends his great surprise
at the leniency shown him and re
marked that he expected “all the

Reports from the steamship Vic
toria indicate that there is quite a
contrast between the present last
sailing and that of last year with re
spect to the volume of liqtlbr in evi
dence on board the ship. Arrivals
from the steamer today say there has
been no sign of the usual drunken
celebration by either the people on
board or those coming from shore
to say farewell to friends on the ves.
There has also been a const)1
absence of drunkeuess in town, dur
ing the departure period. Whatever
the cause for this unusual condition.
Inebriates have been few and far
between—for all of which the com
munity may be congratulated.

The deceased was a resident of Nome
for many yeans during the early
days of the camp’s existence and was

avenue, where he had lived the last,
three years, was found by the fore
man of the garage. R. V. Elder, who
conducted an investigation when his
employer and a revolver usually kept
in the garage were found missing.
The body was found shortly be
fore midnight, but the auto dealer
had apparently killed himself sev
eral hours before. He had placed
a pillow over his head to muffle the
sound of the shot.
The bullet pierced his brain over
the right temple and is believed
lodged in the skull.
Mr. Cowden was 54 years old and
bad been in business in Long Beach

second wife.
In addition to his. son, Parker
Cowden, formerly with the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company i i

mother in Tacoma. FinanciaHroubles
are advanced as the reason'for the
desire to end his life.
