WHAT HECHE OF THESE THREE
1ES IS SM1 DIG MfSTERY
Juneau, Jan. 4—Tha posting of a
rewaul of fl.OOO by Virginia rela
tives for information about Reginald
F. Irwla "allTa and no questions
asked" ha* brought out some new
and interesting facta, and makes
tho disappearance of Irwin and bis
companion*, C. Clark and De Costa
more of a mystery than the disap
pearance of Christie, Plunkett, Aloe,
a Japanese foreman and othor resi
dents of Southeastern Alask.
Besides the $2,000 reward, At
torney General Gregory has also au
thorized the marshal's office to pay
"not more than $200" for any in
formation leading to tho recovery
o' the men dead or alive, besides
all expenses Incurred in a search
that might be made.
Tha people of Ketchikan. who
made a search and Investigated the
conditions after the men failed to j
return on their launch from an In
spection trip, aro satisfied that they
were not dTowned.
Glen Bartlett, whosa brother-in- 1
law, Clark, was on board, the lat
ter to have been married this
month, carefully examined all the
evidence and does not believe that
the men were drownd.
The way evidence has been pieced
togetner leads to the supposition, that
tho launch was anchored and that
Irwin aud Clark .went ashore In the
dory. De Costa proceeded to cook
a meal, since the evidence of It
was still on the stove. For some
unknown reason tho two men failed
to return and De Costa, not having
a small boat, decided to go ashore
and threw the anchor ahead and
drew along the launch and repeat- t
ed thlc until he reached shore.
This is all Indicated. But the
strange part la that he had but one ,
pair of boots and these were found
la the launch. Indicating that be .
must bare stepped ashore bare-1
footed.
"OLD MASTERS" LOOTED
FROM MEXICAN' CHTRCHES
El Pafco, Texas — Five famous
paintings by old masters, valued at
$50,000 each, have been stolen from
tha home of the Catholic bishop of
San Luis Potosl, Mexico, where
thev were hidden for several yea re
The short bight of the. anchor did
not allow the launch to ride free
wneu the tide raised and it was
found partly submerged. The m6al
was left as it was cooking, but
there was evidence that some one
had tried to pry off the whistle, I
and the plank covering for the j
bo.tha had been removed and j
pla.-ed on the deck. The guns were '
also missing. Tlio dory was found :
soi! 10 little distance from the launch,
bottom side up. The hat of Clark !
was 'ound floating in the water,
bui could not have been submerged
voiy much for stamps in the rim
of tl.e hat were stUl dry. The '
oars were found in another place:
and in still another spot some oth
er plcces of clothes. However,
thero was no indication of a strug
gle. Then, too, there was evidence
of a fire having been built on the
beach.
All of this took place tbe latter
pa-t of September, sonio little time
be.'ore the strange disappearance
of Plankett and Christie.
Where the party evidently land- j
ed Is upon the mainland and it is
but a short distance to the Cana-1
dian side. The natives in that
vicinity when questioned had not j
seen anything of the members of;
the Darty, and absolutely no j
trace has been found to indicate I
what became of them. Besides the |
residents of Ketchikan who searche-I
the premises, two government boats
•WJ'.mioed the surroundings, and the
men seem to have disappeared as
completely and mysteriously as
was «he case with Plunkett and tho
others.
T^e nature of the reward offered
by the relatives also Indicates that 1
thy have renson to believe Irwin |
alive. The latter is well known ;
in Juneau having been hero a
number of times on official buslnes-.
