On Monday night Johnston surrendered himself at police head- quarters, saying he had given a worth- less check for $170 to a friend named Durham in Chicago. Chief Wittman wired to Chicago and received a reply | frcm Chief O’Neil on Thursday to hold Johnston till papers could be sent for his extradition. Yesterday another dispatch was recelved from Chief O’Neil, saying Johnston's friends re- fuse to prosecute him. Johnston says he will pay back the $170. ——— McDonnell Seeks Pardon. George T. McDonnell, who is in the penitentiary for using the postoffice to further a scheme to defraud, has ap- plied to the Department of Justice for a pardon and the department has re- ferred the matter to United States District Attorney Woodworth for his opinion. Inasmuch as McDonnell served a twenty-year term of impris- onment in an English penitentiary for being connected with the notorious Bidwell brothers in their forgeries on the Bank of England and as the pres- ent offense was clearly proved against him, Mr. Woodworth declines to rec- Holds the Bones of Norwegian Princess i HULK O] 2 FOR CENTURIE PRINCESS OF A} ED IN NORWAY AFTER HAVING SERVED OPHAGUS FOR THE REMAINS OF SOME Svend Hansen, a young Norwegiau sailorman, who for a number of years has been employed on coasting vessels running into this port, has just re- turned from a visit to Norway, and brings with him news of an interesting discovery made by a farmer neighbor of the old folks at home. brings a photograph of the find. While plowing a few months ago this Norwegian farmer, whose land lies { about ten miles inland from the port of Tonsberg, wrecked his plow against what he thought was a stump. Investi- gation showed that he had been in col- lision with a Viking ship, the stout caken prow of which lay within a foot of the soil’s surface. The farmer hitched.a team to the supposed stump, but all the available horse power failed to stir the obstruc- tion. The ground was dug away from around the prow. The more the farm- er dug the more he found, and when the work of e vation was finished there in the middle of his fleld, in the spade-made doc lay the strangest | lcoking craft twentieth century eyes had ever gazed upon. Scientists visited the relic and are still trying to wrest its secret from this bold-over remnant of a day long for- gotten. The bones of a woman were found in an oaken chest which lay fore and aft in the center of the ship. Before Hansen left his old home, a month or so ago, one of the scientists 4- He also| ofe told him the result of their investiga- tions as far as they had gone. The ship, said the man of science, undoubtedly belonged to the eighth century. It had been brought from the sea, which in those days was not ten miles distant, by way of a gulch that is still visible. The vessel had been dragged ashore, taken on rollers to an excavation and there buried. The reason for all this, the learned man thought, was to be found in the box of bones. That box, he said, had been the coffin of a Prin- | cess, to whose memory the vikings had paid the highest tribute in their power by giving up a warship, their most val- phagus for the fair lady’s mortal re- mains. Such of the ship’s planking as was found is in good pendition, and the oars, a score or ndore of which were | buried beside the craft, are still tough | enough for use. A board was found on | which were inscribed characters which | the scientists are now trying to trans- late. The farmer on whose land the ship was found was trying to sell his find to the Norwegian Government ‘\«hen Hansen left home. He wanted 30,000 crowns for it. The vessel is about ninety feet long. No arms were found near by, the soll having been excavated for some distance on all sides. The boat, the oars, the bones and the for- | gotten script on a decaying board are all that the twentleth century has upon which to reconstruct a lost chapter of eighth century history or romance. | " Alleges He Was Swindled. | Melancthon Phillips, 117 Ripley street, obtained a warrant from Police Judge Fritz yesterday for the arrest of Joseph F. Donaldson, an attorney, on a charge of grand larceny. He al- leges that Donaldson represented to him that he jvas engaged in the real estate busines prumisik\z if Phillips | gave him $500 to guardntee him an income of $75 per month and also to | give him a At the end of six months the $500 was to be returned to Phillips. The money | was paid in September, but Phillips says he has not received a cent from Donaldson. He got a deed to the lots, but Donaldson secured it again on the plea that he would record it. —e———— Christmas Pictures. | In the new art gallery of Sanborn, Vail | & Co. you will find a most beautiful col- lection of moderate priced paintings—oil frames.

The tioner siates that a search for a will has over all other World’s Fair deed to five lots in this city. | Letcher Fights His Extradition. The hearing on the application for a writ of habeas corpus for the re- lease of George Letcher, the San Jose capitalist, accused of being a fugitive from justice, came up before Judge Cook yesterday. The Governor’s war- ‘r'mv. of extradition was submitted, but | it was claimed that Letcher was not a | fugitive from justice and that the pa- rers on which the warrant was gramt- ,ed were Insufficient. The case was | centinued till Monday morning. Mean- time Letcher was ordered released on | $6000 bonds, which was promptly forthcoming. Letcher is wanted in Ohio for arson, alleged to have been committed about twenty years ago. —_———— Christmas Stationery.

ON TWIN PEAKS Supervisors Favor Purchase of Land for an Auxiliary Fire Protection System' WILL CONSIDER OFFER Selection of Block of Prop-| erty for New Public Li- brary to Be Determined The Supervisors’ joint Committee on Fire, Utilities and Finance yesterday considered the advisability of insti- tuting proceedings for the con-i demnation of land on Twin| Peaks as a reservoir site for an! auxillary high-pressure, 20,000,000-gal- ! | lon water supply system for increased ' | fire protection. The Market and Stan- | .ynn Streets Improvement Company, | through its president, Orville D. Bald- win, offered to sell forty-seven acres for the purpose at $3000 per acre, or $141,000, but the committee thought this too high. The land is assessed for only $22,000. City Engineer Woodward recom- mended the purchase of the entire | tract, a portion of which could be util- [1zed for a park, as already proposed. After some discussion Baldwin agreed to call a meeting of his board of di- rectors and submit another offer for the sale of the forty-seven acres, the | committee having decided that the en- | tire tract be bought by the city. It was | stated that the company would not sell iat less than $2000 an acre. Although $150,000 has been appropriated for the | System, the city may only expend $50,~ ! 000 each year for the purchase of lands. The committee will meet next Friday at 3 n. m. to consider the offer. | At the same time it will also take up | the proposed acquisition of a block of !land for the new public library, the | bond issue for which was sold to a : bank syndicate. Two blocks are under | consideration, one bounded by Hayes, Fell, Van Ness and Franklin, which is | favored by the library trustees, and the other by Fulton, Grove, Polk and | Van Ness avenue. The committee first de(‘ided to Invite bids for sites for the library, but thought it better to defer action, as it is not certain that either of the sites mentioned will be the civic | center of the new San Francisco, for | whose adornment ideas are proposed. | ADVERTISEMENTS.
