THE TREASURY ROBBERY.
The Stolen Bonds Not the Property of
Deceased Soldiers but of Bounty

The Stolen Bonds Not the Property of
Deceased Soldiers but of Bounty
Jumpers.
WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-The following letter
has been written to Secretary Sherman by
Second Auditor Ferris:
In reply to your oral inquiry of this morn
ing have the honor to report that in Decem-
Der last it was discovered that $4,74O in
money and bonds including interest were
missing from the safe of this office. A
thorough investigation established the fact
that the funds had been extracted by Charles
e: Herring deputy auditor, who died in 1879
There is no evidence that a single dollar of
the missing funds belonged to deceased
soldiers. On thecontrary the bulk of it consisted
OF bonds taken from soldiers at the draft
rendezvous in 1864 and 1866 as security against
their desertion. The fact that the names of
some of these soldiers cannot be found on the
muster rolls Oh file in the office, and that no
application had been made for bonds either bv
soldiers themselves or their representatives
leads to the conclusion that the men were
bounty Jumpers
Chief Brooks, Of the secret service, who is still
investigating the case says that it is impossible
TO tell where the money went. He suspects
however from evidence taken that Herring
was in the hands of blackmailers and had
been ever since he came to Washington from
New England.

Harding Bros. shipped 10000 lbs.
of freight to Ruby Camp this week.
Mr.. Geo. Phillips shipped car
load of fat beef steers from Kansas
City to this place.
Mr.. Joel continues to ship furni-
ture by the wagon load just as though
the railroad was not puilt beyond us.
For the year ending May list, 1890,
the amount paid by Megrue & Fer
rier, of the transfer company for
Canon City freight received by them
from the railroad was over $l25 900.
This does not include many ship
ments of lumber, ETC., that was re-
ceieed here by firms who hauled from
the depot TO their places of business.
Ii such WAS the amount of freight,
how immense must have been the
value of the goods which were re-
ceived here and sold in Canon or
shipped by our merchants to points
beyond us.

two miners were killed n: 2s;rby, but
we questioned il At the sime, and we
find we were right. We also ques-
ton this last report about twenty
five men being killed. Tho first story
was told, it is now said, to keep pco-
pie from going TO Ruby too early and
this second canard we think was
started to influence congress in voting
