GARNHAM HERFUNDS THE CASI.

Chictingram Kecovers $4000 of Mrs
Taylor's Mining Money.

- The mystery of the disappearance
of $7000 of the late Hessie Taylor's
money has been cleared up by Chief
of Police Ingram, and Steve Garn-
ham, formerly of Rossland and a
well known character here, has
been discovered to possess $4000 of
the amount and has made restitu-
tion.

Mrs. Taylor came to this city in
its early days and accumulated some

|property here and quite a little

money. In last December she had
$12,000 to her credit in the Bank of

siezed with the illness that resulted
in her death. Shortly before her
death she withdrew $7000 of her
money, and it has been impossible
to ascertain what had become of the
money until Chief Ingram returned
from Vancouver yesterday.

Steve Garnham was rooming in

the Opal at the time the money dis-
appeared and moved into Mrs.
Taylor’s rooms shortly after her
death. The solicitors for the dead
woman searched for the money, but
failed to find it.
Chief Ingram says that Garnham
found the money, or at least $3500
of it, several days later, and has
spent about $1500 of it. He has
turned over $3200 in cash, and
deeded over a house and lot in
Vancouver, which he had — pur-
chased for $800.

Since the return of Chris Foley
from Butte, where he went to con-

received a telegram from R. C.
Clute, Dominion commissioner, who
investigated the Kootenay labor
troubles, asking that no decision be
reached until he arrives. He will
arrive about Monday .and mean-
while a decision is held in abeyance.
A meeting of the union was held
on. Wednesday and discussed the
matter. While no action wastaken,
it became evident that both the un-

considering the subject in such a
conciliatory spirit that there is a

lin said that the money would not
be loaned by the Boers. °

ly announced that the Delagoa Bay
