Thousands OF Dollars Worth of
JeWelry Secured by the Gull
prit.
CHICAGO, March 25.-Four years ago a
man named E. W. Scott and purporting to
be at the head of big firm of that name in
San Rosa, California, appeared in San Fran
cisco. He visited all the large jewelry es-
Establishments, looked al large amount of
fine jewelry and requested the jewelers. to
lay it aside for him. He then went to San
Rosa, procured some of the letter heads of
Scott's firm and wrote them to send on the
goods. He calculated the time his letters
would reach the jewellers and before they
could return answers to the genuine Scott
telegraphed each one that he had changed
his plans and would call for his goods in per-
son the next day. This satisfied the jewellers
that they were dealing with responsible
party and when he presented forged
checks on the house of Scott they were hon
ored and the shrewd swindler got away with
ovet SO, 900 worth of jewelry. This game
he has been playing all over the country,
victimizing jewelers. in New Orleans, Louis
vile, Lexington, Omaha, st. Paul and nu-
merous small towns. Meyers & Finch, one
of the swindled firms of st. Paul,
placed their case in the hands of
Pinkerton's and they have been following up
a clue. News came from Boston of the arrest
of one Frank Landers, charged with swim
ding in a similar manner. He was readily
identified by the Pinkertons as their man
and detective started for Boston tonight
to bring him on to St. Paul. Through his
plan Landers has during his career Melted
over 100, 900 in jewel1y and money and ad-
mits that he is the person wanted in st.

over the Riel rebellion grows daily. Every
bit of information is eagerly looked for and
members of the government are hourly asked
for the latest Information. The fact that
Major general Middleton, commander-in
chief, was despatched to the scene of the
conflict on the briefest notice and at a time
when his arrangements had been completed
for visiting Quebec on departmental business
shows that, Notwithstanding what the
representatives of the cabinet openly
avow they view the matter with the greatest
alarm. On inquiry of the government Off
GERS to-day it was learned tnat further de-
tails of the instruction had not been re-
ceived. A telegram was received from Hum

been obtained from the vicinity of Carleton.
Colonel Irvine should have arrived there
1t is supposed his delay is caused
and having to fight his way. The govern

from him till tomorrow. They expect he

Those first on the spot were under the i'm

and general alarm was sounded. The flames
spread quickly and at 8 o'clock it was
evident the entire building must 90.

the roof of the st. Louis German Catholic
church on the opposite corner and the atten-

the fact that the FIRE was Immediately dis

Music Hall was given up and it was now a
matter of serious doubt whether the fire

Call For American Interference.

1ha case OF a DeSerter Wh1ch May
Call For American Interference.
New YORK, March 25.-Mrs Robert Ire
land, of this city, to day sought the advice
of District Attorney Martin and told him
substantially the following story: In 1876
her husband deserted from the British army
at Ayr, Scotland, and came to America.
After residing here the necessary length of
time he became an American citizen and was
until few months ago employed as a letter
carrier. On March 10 he received a letter
postmarked Rochester, N. Y, from
man who signed himself John Shields. The
writer said he was about to organize
concert company and having heard of
Ireland as scotch piper of unusual skill
would engage him at high salary. Ireland
started at once for Buffalo as directed and
nothing was heard of him until Tuesday,
when his wife received letter from him
stating that on arriving at Buffalo he was
met by Shields who, alleging that the
concerts had been postponed, suggested pass
ing the time sight seeing and took
him to Canada. After crossing the border
Shields proclaimed himself detective and
lodged him in Jail. He was taken before q
magistrate who told him he must go to-
England to answer charge of desertion and
permitted him to write to his wife. The dis
trict attorney said that the case as explained
to him undoubtedly demanded the interfer-
ence of the United States authorities and ad-
vised Mrs. Ireland to apply to Secretary
Bayard for her husbands release.
