GAStE OF LOST MEMCBY. Mis Mind a Blank for Four Years, , Vancouver, B. C., Dec. 17.â€"As curiâ€" ous a case of memory lost and found has ever been encountered in Canâ€" has developed in New Westminâ€" e# City, twelve miles from here. Qu Tuemlay last a coarselyâ€"dressed kan of 35 entered Dr. Kendall‘s office. Thoe visitor said he had been WAS A PRACTISING LAWYER. &A practising lawyer in _ Aberdsen, Mise., and left his bom? on Aug. 21st, 1897, to go to his office. Then all was a blank, until awakening, as it were from a dream, he found himâ€" self standing in the street outside the doctor‘s office. He examined his ealloused hands with curious surpriseo asd amusement. Investigation disâ€" elosed that he had for several years :;o;n working â€" as a longshoreman n the Fraser River under a name that now carries to him not the least significance. Dr. Kemdall, being fully impressed Wwith the truth of the visitor‘s strange story, called into consultaâ€" tion Dr. Boags, and careful inquiry Into each detail available of the strange case ol lapsed memory was carefully presented in sequence in a paper reviewing the facts read beâ€" fore the Medical Association in conâ€" vention at New Westminster last fiicht. The subject did not attend. He had once more disappeared, and explained in a confidential note to Dr. Kendall that ho feared the inâ€" evitable publicity that ho must now excite. On coming to himseli on Tuesâ€" day at Dr. Kendall‘s he first asked what town he was in, and on being told New Wostminster, he gazed in amazement and asked what part of Mississippi it was in. Mississippi it was in. He was informed it was in Canada, and on thp I‘ncific coast, and became yec more bewildered. Dr. Kendall askâ€" ed him wlhit date this was, and he promptly replied August 21st, 1897. It was evident from this his mind had been a blank, and that he had been wandering over the earth evidentl@ living the life of another person. Ha sald he was a lawyer. The last he could remember was that he went into his office in Aberdeen on the morning of August 21st, 1897, and was called on by the judge of the Buprems Court, who asked him to deâ€" fend a prisoner on the charge of inâ€" fanticide. He attended the preliminâ€" y heariog, and was on his way gzme when the peculiar blask came over him, for he remeimbers nothing glnce. Strong was astounded to learun that President McKinley had beeon elected for a second term, and had since been assassinated, and that President Roosevelt was holding the reirs of power. He was equally gurprised to learn of the Spanishâ€" American and the Boerâ€"British wars. Btrong gave the names of several relatives in Mississippi, and an uncle has been telegraphed, but so far no reply has been received. Cbarged With Defrauding His Broâ€" therâ€"inâ€"Law of $185,000. Chicago, Dec. 16.â€"Proceedings in the suit brought against "Dr." Johs Alexander Dowie, nead of the Chrisâ€" tian Catholic Church and the selfâ€" gtyled "Elijah IIL," to torce a receivâ€" ership for his Zion lace industries, were begun in court toâ€"day. A bill of complaint filed by Dowie‘s brotherâ€" inâ€"law, Samuel Stevenson. was read, charging Dowie with aefrauding him of $185,000. According to the bill, Dowie approached Stevenson in Besâ€" ton, Eng., and persuaded him to reâ€" linquish a lace business earning $20,â€" 000 yearly income, and Stevenson reâ€" lates that he married Dowle‘s sister and gave her a wedding dower of $50,000, which was to be returned to him in the form of stock in the Zion lace industries. The plaintiff said it was his belief that he was Dowie‘s coâ€"partner, and that Dowle, by fraud, had secured his name to a paper givâ€" ing Dowie all right in the company. Stevenson charged that Dowie on the night of August 8, 1901, changed papers on him when he supposed he was signing joint partnership agreeâ€" ments. "Dr." Dowie entered a general denial.

When, some days ago, Mrs. Townâ€" send accidentally caught sight of a ticket giving admission to the masâ€" querade ball of the Helmet Club at Certral Hall, Monday night, she held her peace, like a woman of discreâ€" tion, and made a note of it. Being a woman, she was fond of masquerâ€" ades, and if Mr. Townsend had invitâ€" ed her to go with him~she would not have said him nay. â€" But the invitaâ€" tion came not. On the contrary, when she asked him to take her to the theatre that night, Mr. Townâ€" send hemmed and hawed, as husbands have done before. "Indeed," said Mrs. Townsend to herself, "this sounds supicious." But still she held her peace. Wonderful is the woman who can closo her mouth and walit.. Shirt Was a Gorgeous One. Monday night Townsend ciimbed into dress clothes, for _ managers‘ meetings must be attended in corâ€" rect costume. He wore a shirt of which he was particularly fond. It was a gorgeous affair, with emâ€" broidered cuffs, the sort of cuffs which stamp a manager of the first rank. _ His wife eyed his preparaâ€" tions quietly and offered no _ comâ€" ment when he kissed her goodâ€"bye and started forth upon the advenâ€" tures of the evening. "* Nay," said the masked woman, "come to my houso and all of us wili have a cosy little supper together." She whispered to the hackman, who drove them swiftly to Townsend‘s own door. He did not notice where they were until they alighted in front of his door. Then for the first timse he realized the neat little trap which had been set for him by his better twoâ€"thirds. He had nibbled at the cheese and deftly fallen in. When Goodwin and Miss Keen realized what had happened they withdrew disâ€" creetly and left the field to the Townsends.

In the hotel they met Ralph Goodwin and Miss Ethel Keen whom Townsend knew, and Townsend suggested that they dine together.

The coroner found the baby there. The flesh under its legs and the lower part of the back is burned off. "Dr. Landsman asked us if we had any hot water in the house," said Spinner, "and my â€" wife told him there was none, but she could heat some weter over the gas stove in the kitchen. Dr. Landsman said it was necessary to get it ready immediately, as he wanted to bathe the baby in hot water. We put the tin bathtub on the gas stove and lighted the gas beneath it. When the water began to get warm, Dr. Spinner lifted the baby and put him into the tub. He held him there, supporting its back with his right hand. Awful Blunder Made by Physician. The boy was the son of Alois Spinrer and his wife, who live on the second floor of the tenement. Spinner said that the child had been seized with convulsions on Wednesday night and he called in Dr. Samuel Landsman, of 68 East Third street. "The baby was crying and the doctor said the water was nat too hot, as he had his hand in it, and would take the baby out of the tub just as soon as the proper temâ€" perature was reached.

Then we realized that the doctor had kept the baby seated over the gas while he walited for the water to get hot. We told him toâ€"day, and he said he had thought there was no fire under the tub. Yet he had told us he krew his business. I insist on having him arâ€" rested, Coroner.‘" Just before the child died, Spinner said, ho called Dr. P. T. Leydecker, of Second street. The doctor said the child was dying and could not be saved. When he saw the child‘s back he turned away and closed his eyes. He said it was the worst case he had ever seen.

"We took them aboard our canoe and paddled, and got over the ice and water, reaching the shore of St. Anâ€" dre a few minutes after nine o‘clock the same morning. Lost Their Bearings. "Mr. Richard informed me that he and his companion had been in his small open boat five or six hours tryâ€" ing to make for the Pilgrims«. After he found that owing to the large acâ€" cumulation of ice at River du Loup, he could not land there, and it was blowing a gale from the northeast, accompanied by a heavy snowstorm, he ran before the wind trying to reach the Pilgrim. It was very dark, and he could see nothing abead of him, but ali of a sudden he found himself in calm water, and immediâ€" ately inferred that they were on the lee side of one of the islands. Fortun«â€" ately it was the one on which the Pilgrim light is situated, but he only found this oult two nights and a day later, as the snowstorm continued, and he did not dare to leave where they had Janded, having no â€" idea where they were or where they could beiter themselves before the weather changed. "They had some frozen bread,but no fire. The first night they thawed some pieces of bread by placing them under their vests to get warmed up by the heat of their bodies. They kept walking all night to prevent fall ng asleep ana freezing to death. The next day they made an attempt to explore the island they were on in the hopes of finding the lighthouse, but owing to the storm and difficulty of getling over the rock, and not really knowing where they were,find« ing themselves amongst some trees and some falling branches, they built up a fire and remained there. Even with the help of a fire, however, they did not dare to sleep. Mr. Richard‘s assistant, a man named Guay, fell headlong asleep in the snow. Mr. Richard â€" aroused him, encouraging and warning him of the danger of falling asleep. The next morning the weather cleared up and they then saw that they were something ove. a mile from the lightâ€"house on the west end of Long Pilgrim Island. They started for the lighthouse and found it locked, the keeper having closed up and gone ashore. They forced the door open and in the lightâ€" house found food, water, and wood, which made them comfortable for the time being. "Mr,. Richard ran the lighthouse flag up at haif mast, feeling sure that it would draw attention and result in assitance being sent to them. The next Mr. Morrin, the Pilgrim‘s ligh w keeper, with four or five frien.., atlempted to cross over to see what was the matter.
