iSLEEK STRANGER
AUY
I
j Several Cordovans ar.e anxious to
learn the whereabouts of one R. C.
I
i Johnstone, who left here rather sud
! denly on the last south-bound trip of
1 the steamship Admiral Watson. John
! stone spent a couple of weeks here,
and as he came with letters of intro
| duction from prominent residents of
Juneau and elsewhere, he soon formed
a large acquaintanceship. He claimed
that he was waiting in Cordova for
the arrival of some mining machinery
which he intended taking into the Tan
ana valley.
Johnstone had in his possession a
warrant issued by the interior depart
ment for $2,000, and as it bore every
evidence of being regularly drawn,
and was negotiable, he experienced no
trouble in having it cashed. Personal
checks were also issued on the Beh
rends Bank, at Juneau. The warrant
has turned out to be a forged one,
while the checks were returned with
the notation that he had no account
at the Juneau bank.
Warrants were sworn out for the
arrest of Johnstone, and Deputy Mar
shal Fursman telegraphed to Ketchi
kan and Seattle in the hope of appre
hending his man, but thus far has
been unsuccessful.
It now develops that our visitor was
a crook, and that he went under the
name of Dr. Forbes at Molsom, Wash.,
where he and another man escaped
from the Okanogan county jail and
crossed the international line. While
in Canada Forbes stopped with the
original R. C. Johnstone, and managed
to secure his signature, since which
time he has been traveling under his
name.
