How the offender was Captured
Lodge In Deer Lodge Jail Last Night.
DEER LODGE, Mont, October TO-
Especial to the Miner by the Rocky Noun
tain Telegraph Line.l-Sheriff Coleman,
accompanied by Frank Conley, arrived
here, early this morning, with Eliot, the
Elliston murderer, and lodged him safely
in jail.
Your correspondent learned from q gen.
tleman from Elliston, by the name Of
johnson, that Eliot and James had an
alteration in the Elliston Hotel, and the
proprietor, Peter Straud, interfered and
received a shot in the left side which, it is
thought
WILL PROVE FATAL,
after which Eliot turned himself loose and
fred three more shots, one taking effect in
the leg OF q man named Weber, who will
probably lose his leg; and another grazing
the scalp OF Jim James, the man whom. it
is believed, he meant to-kill.
Eliot then made his escape, but the citi-
zens OF Elliston organized q party and sur.
rounded him, so that he could not get far
away. Thinking he could return to his res
taurant for something to eat, C. K. John
son and T. B. Tanner secressd themselves
behind a door and
WAITED Fer HIM.
At about 1 o'clock Eliot returned to the
back door Of the restaurant and knocked,
and as soon as the door was opened, John
son leveled his revolver on him and ordered
him to throw up his hands, which he did.
After disarming the prisoner, who was
'sloaded for BEAR" they awaited the arrival
OF Coleman who left here at z o clock last
and arrived in Elliston at about
11:a0 p. m. and took the prisoner in
CHARGE.

A new counterfeit So silver certificate,
check letter d, has made its appearance
duriug the past few days, and is we'll cal
culated TO deceive, the work on II would do
credit to BrockwaY, the well known
counterfeiter The color Of the treasury
number and the seal are excellent. The
most noticeable defect in the note is in the
portrait Of General Grant, which has a
very scratohy appearance and looks the
life-like expression of the genuine. On
the back of the note the figure 6 in the
date 1886 is poorly done and looks more
like cipher
The paper used in the note is a fac
smile of that the genuine. A
gentlemen living in the Southern section
of Philadelphia got one of the counterfeits
on Saturday. lie took 1t to the bank to
have it examined and the bank officials
after long and careful examination pro-
nounced it a counterfeit. The word" Reg
lister of the Treasury" under the signature
Of W. S. Rosecrans, were found To be badly
and lrregulary printed and it was from this
defect that The bank people discovered That
the note was counterfeit.

AMONG THE WAGE WORKERS.
An interesting Batch Of Labor Notes Special
for Ye Workinrmen.

Marks OMyers says in the Labor Tri
bune that after the big strike of 1912 was
over there was a great scarcity Of coal, and
within two weeks after resumption the
miners were voluntarily paid l2 pence a
day extra TO increase their output as coal
was high and tae owners were making big
money. The production was decreased and
wages were raised to shillings a day after
the employers saw they could charge what
they pleased for the output But after
little time new operators opened other
mines, and wages fell again, and the men
had 10 do more work, so that the operators
could compete whit the new mines. In
1916, however, wages were again raised with
out strike to shillings and pence day
from 20 pence and 2 shillings before the
big lost strike
"A company with capital of 81 100000
will develop 10000 acres of iron and timber
lands in Cherokee county, Tex. The pro-
duct of the iron beds, they say, cannot be
excelled. A furnace operated by convicts
has been established three years, and the
output has been sent all over the West. The
new State House at Austin used 81 100000
worth of the prisons output.
-Canada's production of iron ore in
1886 was 44,SSS tons, and the coke output
was 81 ,604 tons. There are five blast furn-
aces in the Dominion, two on coke iron, and
ten rolling mills on making nail plate of
scrap and puddled bars, and one on butt
weld pipe.
The labor organizations of Minneapolis,
Mimi, will probably win their demand for
