A TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, DECEMBER 16« SEMIANNUAL HEMBREE IS SET FREE. CAPTAIN TO BLAME Believing That Ruling of Su Local Inspectors Suspend Master of Argo. preme Court Would Make Conviction Impossible, State asks Discharge. Captian I.evi P. Snyder, master of steamship Argo, which was lost off Tillamook Bay bar on the night of Novemder 26, has been suspended for a period of one year by local In spectors Edwards and Fuller. Care lessness and negligence in attempt ing to cross the treacherous Tilla mook bar on a half-ebb tide were given as sufficient cause for the sus pension of the license. Five lives were lost in the wreck of the Argo, together with the steamer and the cargo. Mrs. L. A. Holdredge and Mies Nellie Hunter, passengers in the lifesaving licat; Martin Anderson, a sailor, and A. Deladorte, an Italian passenger, are unaccounted for. Henry Wickman a member of the lifesaving crew, was drowned in attempting the landing through the surf at a ppint about four miles to the northward of the entrance to Tillamook Bay. The boat in command of Mate Johnson was picked up by the gasoline schooner (Jshkosh, and the captain’s boat succeeded in making the Columbia River lighship. i WINDOW GAZING.
