PITTsFIELD, Mass, May 13.-The boldest
attempt At swindling or robbery ever known
in these parts was reported to the police last
night. Early in the evening a stranger driv-
ing gray horse and good buggy and having
a busness-lke appearance stopped at the
West Pittsfeld family of Shakers and in
quired for Ira Lawson, who is the head of
that family, Treasurer and Business Manager,
Mr. Lawson was not at home, and the stranger
was asked to wait for him. He did so, and
Lawson was soon seen approaching the house.
The stranger went out to meet him, and
said: care you Mr.. Lawsop?" II am"
was the reply. "Then," said the stranger,
II have a warrant for your arrest for pass
ing counterfeit money. am United States
detective from Boston," Lawson was utter
y amazed, and declared that he had not
passed any bad money to his knowledge
The stranger then insisted that Lawson should
hand over all the money he had for inspec-
ton, threatening to take him to
Boston forthwith if he did not show
his money, and Lawson said: "If you
are an officer will go to court with you"
but refused to hand out his cash unless show
some authority. The stranger clustered
about his official power and talked of proba-
BILE imprisonment, but Lawson demanded
some paper or warrant showing authority,
and finally the stranger drew a revolver, and
pointing it in Lawson's face, said This is my
authority. Now show your authority and all
you have Of it, too" Lawson, like all Shak-
ers, is non-combatant, but he didn't scare
and refused to stir as prisoner or give up his
money, and as others were in sight and the
alteration was attracting attention the stran-
ger went to his wagon and drove rapidly
away. lawson only thought of the affair as
an unpleasant incident for time, but finally
came into town and reported to the police
| The stranger did not give any name, and was
| last heard from driving toward the State line,
and has probably gone over into New York
State
