Nearly Four Thousand Dol- lars the Proceeds cf His Daring. e RS Farmers’ and Merchants’ Concern in Los Angeles Suffers Through the Carelessness of a Collector. . Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, July 1—A bold sneak- thief is richer by $3980 through the care- lessness of Edward H. Penning, collector for the Farmers' and Merchants’ Bank, that amount having been stolen from the bank this afternoon under the eyes of fifty or more customers and a score or more employes of the concern. There is absolutely no clew to the identity of the thief and it is not probable that-he will ever be captured. Penning, who has been employed as collector for the Farmers’ and Merchant: Bank for twenty years, reached the ban 2:30 o'clock this afternoon after hav- his &t ing made rounds of the business sack he carried his col- ng to nearly $4000~ He rsation at the collection yw and, leaving the sack on a desk de the ‘railing, on_which_customers usually indorse their checks, he stepped to the exchange window twenty feet away and handed to the clerk there certain pers which he had brought from cus- tumers of the bank. He was there less than a minute and when he turned to get the money which he had left on the desk it was nowhere to be seen. No Trace of Thief. The alarm was given instantly and lcse watch was kept of all persons who n in front of the bank counters, § as soon evident that none of them taken the money. All of the fifty or more persons who were transact ing business there at the time were ques- tioned, but none of them could tell of having seen any person take the sack from the desk. BSeveral were found who had seen Penning place it there, but by whom it had been taken no one knows. The police department was notified at once and the entire detective force was put at work on the case. The stolen ey was in gold and currency and the sack in which it was contained was a common muslin receptacle, similar to those used in banks for hoiding coin. It t any distinguishing marks e thief couid easily have hidden it under his coat without attracting atten- tion. Not the slig spicion attaches to Penning, Tor the reson that had he de- sired to steal he has had almost daily op- portunities of taking many times that amount. Earlier in the day he delivered to the bank more than five times the sum olen this afternoon. He has trusted employe for two decades, is a man of property and there has never been a nt’s ghortage in his collections, although has handled more than a million dol- within the past few years.

A, Reld, secretary of the Skagway Young Men's Christian | Association, has returned from the interior | of Alaska, where he talked with Indians, | whose earnest statements he believes fully’ confirm previous reports that the Indians of the lower Yukon have discov- ered an mense petrified ship on Porcu- pine Rivi near the Arctic circle and ncrth of Rampart, Alaska. The Indians | first told their story to H. F. Lischke, editos of the Koyukuk News. Secretary Reid talked with the Indians, who con- vinced him that they saw the great boat, which is lying partly on its side. When asked regarding its size they iraced its dimensions on the ground, indicating a | length of 1200 feet. The Indians said that-everything con- nected with the boat was petrified. Among the things inside of it was a large | safe or chest. something within this, they rolled’ it out of the ship and down thp mountiain side, using levers and skids For the purpose. | They thought it might bieak open, but in this they were disappoiited. While the chest was hollow, it remained intact. The Indians finally became convinced that the whole contrivance was something con- nected with the holy spirit, so they left it, but promised to pilot others to the | spot at any time. The Yukon mission Indians familiar with the Bible are convinced that the ship is none other than Noah's ark. Reid intends to return to the interior of Alaska this summer, in which event he will take some Indians and/ also request army officers to detail soldiers to accom- | pany his expedition. The ship is located | near the top of a hill, thousands of feet | above sea level. | WOMAN XILLED AND TWO INJURED IN A RUNAWAY Sister of Indian Agent Wright of San Jacinto Leaps to Her Death.

There are just $ix men working in the famous Dewey mine and one lone man is at work on a six-mile ditch to run water in. You should have heard the old Leadville prospectors cussing the coun- try as they came out. They swore that it was one of the meanest swindles ever perpetrated in the West. The trail from Thunder Mountain to Weiser is the worst | I ever saw. The first trail to Leadvills was a boulevard compared to it. We trav eled over ten miles through six feet of snow and we found plenty of snow seven feet deep coming out ten days ago. Smp——— STRIKES ARE THREATENED. Trouble That May Affect Transporta- tion in Middle West. CHICAGO, July l—Transportation in the Middle West may be seriously af- fected as a result of a serfes of strikes threatened by machinists and boilermak- ers employed by every road entering Chi- cago from the West. The first of these series of strikes was called to-day, when the 140 boilermakers employed by the Chi- | cago and Northwestern Railroad were | callea out. Bafore the week is over the machinists employed by the road may follow them. | A strike of 190 machinists employed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Garrett, nd., is in progress, as well as the strike of the boilermakers and machinists of the Union Pacific. The walk-buts are the result of refusals of the general managers of the rious | railroads to comply with the demands of the machinists and beile ers. These | same demands have been presented to ev- | ery Western railroad entering Chicago ana to several of the Eastern,railroads. In case the railroads follow the example set by those already approached, a strike of the two trades will apparently assume na- tional proportions. The general managers of the Chicago roads have been given a breathing spell by the failure of the freight handlers to strike. President L. G. Curran of the Freight Handlers’ Union had announced a strike for to-day, but at the last mo- ment changed his mind and decided to endeavor further to obtaln a settlement. The demands of the freight handlers were | placed in the hands of the Chicago Fed- | eration_of Labor. The executive board | of the federation will meet to-morrow and prepare an argument which will be pre- sented to the general managers.
