The COUNTERFEITERS.

They are Safely EnscOnced in the Northern
Woods.
CHIPPEWA FAlLs, Wis, Dec. 10.-Later
developments in the discovery of the
counterfeiters' mint in the woods near
Cadott, show that the business has been
carried IL uch more extensively than had
at first been supposed. Reports from the
various towns along the line Of the Wis
consin Central and the Omaha roads
which are principally supply towns for
men going into the woods, state that
bogus silver dollars have been i'll circula-
ton for the past two months, with
passed them or where they
came from. The pine forests of Wis
consin provide every protection possible
for those who wish to carry on this ne
farious business. The logging camps,
isolated as they are in the summer time
provide every protection necessary, and
the chances for discovery are practically
out of the question, as the camps are un-
tenantsd and months pass before those
sections of the country are visited. A
good portion of the gamblers, black legs,
thieves and prostitutes who infest
the smaller lumber towns are criminals

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.--A terrible dvnamita
explosion occurred in warehouse o.
Shufeldt's distillery on the North side

was broken for several blocks around
and much excitement caused. large
hole was blown through the roof of the
building besides other damage.
Seven sticks of dynamite, Illuminating
caps and partially buened fuse, found
IN another portion of the distillery, war
rants the belief that an attem OF was
made to destroy the buildings. An in
vestlgetlon brought out the fact that the
explosion had taken place in the store
room for high wines at the distilIery.
There was great jagged hole in the
roof, barrels of nigh wines had
been Knocked about promiscuously.
while the hoor was strewn with debris.
The Waterman then with others as

one story brick structure, with a fiat
roof, fronting on Hawthorne avenue. At
about six or eight feet from the hole Law
package. An examination showed it
to be parcel containing seven sticks of
dynamite, fourteen inches long, topped
with Illuminating caps, and out of the
end was partially burned fuse. The roof
has many skylights in it. The theory of
Mr.. Lynch, of the firm, is, that some
one who knew the lay of the roof had
thrown the dynamite package on it, hop
ing that they would crash through the
skylights down into the store room.
There were $4,000 barrels of whisky in
the store room, and had they become
ignited terrible fire would have resulted.
For many months the irm has been
lighting the whisky trust and while men
tioning no names Mr.. Lynch is pursuing
his investigation in that direction, al
though the police suspect anarchists.
j. d. Lynch, manager of the Schufeldt
company, offers reward of S25, 900 to
the person who threw the dynamite on
the distillery building, for the name of
the man who employed him 30 do the
work or such information as will lead to
the detection and arrest of the parties
responsible for the outrage. The mem
bers of the whiskey trust ridicule the
idea that the attempt to destroy the
property was the work, directly or in
directly of the organization.

Further Particulars of the Mdrder and the
Shooting,
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 1O.-The effect
of the firing upon the mob bent on lynch
ing Murderer HAYES Saturday night by
Sheriff Smith and his posse was, three
men killed outright, seven fatally wound
ed, several of whom have died, and thirty
others seriously wounded. Col. Thoa. G.
Jones, of the I'd regiment of Alabama
state troops, arrived here Sunday morn
ing with five com panies, and is confident
OF his ability to prevent any further at
tempt at mob violence. Sheriff Smith
said In an interview that he deeply re-
GREETED the occurrences of last night, but
felt that he had sim ply done his duty in
upholding the majesty of the law. He
said he gave the mob ample warming and
did not give the order to fire until it was
absolutely necessary to do so, and that
after the moo had begun to fire upon the
Jail.
Mayor Tho mpson issued yesterday q
proclamationiex pressing sympathy forthe
families of the victims of last nights

rance, but favoring the maintenance o

from public assemblage and remain in
their home. Sheriff Smith has been ar
rested on the charge Of murder.
The city is still in state of great ex,
element. Many men are on che streets
but it is thought the trouble is over.
R. R. Halves is believed to be the muir
derer of his wife and two daughters. He
had been arrested for the murder of his
little daughter, and the mysterious disap-
Pearance of his wife led to the belief that
he had also murdered her. This belief
was confirmed by the finding of her body
in the lake Saturday. There were blood
stains found in the house and bloody
trail leading to the lake. He doubtless
had one or more accomplices. The body
of the second child has not been discov-
cred as yet. Hawes has been very brutal
to his wife. He has beaten her, failed to
provide for her and threate tened her life a
number of times.
