Yesterday, under the heading
"Look Outl" the TINES told in an
impersonal way of the Mormon spies
met by its reporter the night before.
As some good people who distrust
everything a vigilant newspaper says
unless, perhaps, it be Aattering to
themselves, question the accuracy of
the statement made, the TINES reit-
crates its statement of yesterday, and
adds:
The judicial officer alluded to was
Judge Case Broderick who was told
by the reporter as he came from the
District Court room after his days
lsbors there had closed, and hear the
telephone post at the west front corner
of the Alturas. Judge Broderick, at the
reporters request, stood few mo
ments and saw the woman as she
appeared on Bullion street, crossing
from First Avenue to Main street. The
Judge smiled and said, as nearly as
the reporter can recall his words:
"This is a bad place for them to try to
play that game" The Hon. A. l..
Richardson, clerk of the District
Court, sat beside the reporter on the
lower stoop or platform of the same
hotel, and was told by the reporter
what was going on. Later on the
same gentleman was informed that
the reporter had succeeded in finding
the facts. This was in front of the
hotel. From that point the reporter
went 20 the Methodist Church to OBJ.

the persons whom he had spotted"
had left HALEY, as they agreed to do.
Before either of the gentlemen
nam ed had been spoken to, General
Winters was met on the sidewalk
near the house of Mr.. Thomas
Campbell, on Croy street, coming
west from the Alturas Hotel. The
reporter stopped him, asked him to
engage in conversation and added
that he (the reporter) was looking up
an important matter and wished to
appear as il engaged IN con-
versa'ion with man who is
known as a mining man. 1t was nee
essary for the reporter, as the General
stood with him, to turn his back for a
moment. General Winters began at
once to speak of the reported fad on
Della Strahorn Mountain, and to
point toward lit. This gave the re-
porter an opportunity to turn and see
what he desired to see. Later the re-
porter went into the Merchants Ho-
tel office, met General Winters,
thanked him for his assistance, and tod
him he had dragged the game" 1t is
the impression of the TIMES man that
at that moment Mr.. Campbell was
present, but of this he is not sure,
though he is positive that some gen.
tleman was on duty because he pur-
chased cigar.
Immediately after leaving Judge
Broderick and Mr.. Richardson, the
reporter went to the Sheriff's office,
intending to warn him and his assist

cial business. Only a Waterman,
whom the reporter does not person
ally know, was in the office at the
moment. Ontside, however, the re-
porter met Deputy Forbes. He told
him and walked around a block with
him. The reporter went to the Pro-
bate Courtroom to warn Judge Street,
but the room was locked. The Dis

Mr.. Ruick was out. So the Record.
er's office, but the Recorder was not
in. The hour was "after hours" and
the officials were all out. Two ladies
were of assistance to the TINES man
in trailing the spies, but they exacted
the promise that their names should
not be given. H. R. Plughof's bust
ness place was visited by the reporter
so as to warn him. So were Keisel's
and the stores on that block, but as
the proprietors had gone home
nothing was said. The neighboring
