DROWNING PERSONS PUN IN LAST EFPORT TO SAVE THENSELVES Indian Johnny, Who Has Recovered Hundreds of Bodies, Speaks of His Work. BOY RAN FIFTY YARDS BEFORE DEATH GRIPPED Good Swimmers Go To the Bottom In Deep Water and Are Hard to Get. St, Paul, Sept. 17. Nine.out of ten drowning menor women run along the bottom in a last desperate effort to reach shore after they have sunk for the last time. This is only ono of the bits of knowledge learned by experience by Fisherman John, or Indian Johnny, or John Jeremy, of Stillwater, the man who probably holds the single-handed record in the United States in recovering bodies of drowned persons, Bisherman John 5 fisherman, but his chief Yocation and his one claim to fame is in the fact that he 4s the last resort of sorrowing rela- tives whose loved ones have been drowned, and whose bodies cannot be recovered by* commonplace methods. Big Recovery List. Fisherman John has recovered more than 100 bodies since he first took up that work years ago. He views the work purely in a commer- cial spirit, for he gets from 100 to 250 for each body. Knowledge of Makes and rivers of the northwest, and of. the currents probably heips him more than anything else in his gruesome tasks. He guards well the secret of bis success, for that is how he. makes his living. They've all been aft r me to find that out, he said to an interviewer in his Stillwater home, but I won't tell. I get em. That's all. I don t going to give away my methods to any one. Water is deceiving. I've made a study of the ways of water and: currents and corpses. Proves His Theory. Did you ever know that a drown- ing man runs along the bottom? He does. I've provedit in White-Bear lake, and in lots of other places. See that bid of dead water down there, held up by the crib? A boy was drowned there a few years ago. I tracked him through the weeds. He swam for a way, and then he ran fifty feet before he stopped, breaking his way through the weeds and snags, He seen the shore, and he was making for it. How do I know where to look for em. I get from 100 to 350 for that I put my employers next to part of my method once in Cass lake, and lost 200 by it. I was on the spot where I figured were two bodies of men drowned the night before. In three casts of my tackle I had the alligator skin valise they had with them in their boat. After I had haul- ed it up, along came my employers, asking if I had got anything. I hand- ed over the valise to them. We won't interfere with you, Johnny, they sang out, and chugged. away. Twenty minutes after that the spot was dark with boats. A boatful of men with grappling hooks got the Dragged Many Lakes Gazing at his interviewer through his matted, curly hair that hangs down into his eyes, Indian Johnny told of a. dozen other incidents of his career. He told of cold, dark nights on Lake St. Elmo, where the bodies of Louis Dodson and Allen Fagley were found after long toil; of work in Lake Harriet, White Bear and more distant lakes, the names of which he has forgotten. The culmination of each story was he got em, Hardwood Floorin g in your house will give -you floor that will last a life- j time.

Wash- burne, 23, son of Marion Foster Washburne, author-and lecturer of Pasadena. The Hcense was issued yesterday, Friday, the 13th in room 23 of the courthouse. The most striking feature of the hurry-ap romanee, however, lies in. the remarkable marriage contract which the young people have drawn up and signed. This tramples ruth- Jessly upon accepted marital con- ventions in that it Specifically sets forth that the marriage shall not be a bond giving either any control over or possession) of the other, that it shall not be a bar te other marriage should this prove uufruitful, that the tie shall terminate simultaneously with the death of love on either side, and that neither shall have the right to restrain the other, should he or. she see fit to ineur. other parental responsibility, a Washburne axd his fiance are both college graduates, he of the Univer- sity of Chicago and Stanford 12; she of two Philadelphia institutions.

In case of separation they agree that the financial responsibill- ty stiall be divided, no matter whose fault the divorce may be.

STATE WIDE PRIMARY IN MIX- NESOTA. i St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 16 Minne- sota s direct primary law, which has second choice provision as its dis- tinguishing feature, will be given its first tryout tomorrow, when the several parties will name their can- didates to go on State, Congressional, Legislative and County tickets at the general election in November.

A definite decision as to whether an independ- ent State ticket will be put In the field 18 expected to be reached at a conference of the Progressive Party leaders at the end ot this week. HARVEST FESTIVAL. The members of . the Salvation Army local corps this Week ar busy with the annual Harvest Festival ef- fort, which is for the extension and the support of the work upon the Canadian field. The target set for the local corps is 185.00 and Capt. Oake, the officer in charge, thinks this is quite asy. At his last appointment, Fort Wil- liam, for the self denial effort, he received twenty-three 10 donations and twenty-one 5 donations, not mentioning gifts of smaller denom- inations, and he thinks Medicine Hat the Salvation Army as much well. The Army work is undenomina- tional, their work: being chiefly among the masses outside of the church, and the Captain thinks the man that gives 5 or' 10 to support it has far more the easier part than the men and women who give their time to it.
