RoBBING his EMPLOYERS.
Mulhall, the Silver Thief, Run Down
by Detectives

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, June 11.--lSpecial Tel
egram to THE BEE. THE Pirkertons made
an important arrest here today, in the per
son of Mike Mulhall, suspected of beng one
OF gang of miners who robbed the Aspen
Smelling & Iron company right and left,
few months ago. The company, last fall
struck rich vein of silver ore in one OF
their mines near Aspen, Colorado The find
was very valuable one, pure nuggets of
silver being taken out of the ore. But some
how the mine did not yield as we'll rs tho
owners thought II should, and the Pinker-
tons were employed to find out what was the
matter.
After some investigation the detectives
concluded that the company was being
robbed by its employees. Accordingly an
operative was sent into the mine under the
guise of a miner. He soon found that ten of
the miners had organized for plunder and
were carrying the pure silver out of the mine
IN their clothing. In January the members
OF the gang were arrested and in
dicted for the robbery. While they were
being searched in the sheriff's office, Mulball
escaped unnoticed in the crowd which had
gathered and Pinkerton man placed on his
track located him five weeks ago at Omaha.
From there he followed him SUCCESSFULLY to
Kansas City, Minneapolis Omaha, St. Louis,
and back again TO Kansas City. Monday
night he was located in boarding house IN
this city, and this morning Detective Web
ber arrested him IN Rice's marble yard at
Seventeenth and Main street, where he had
been employed for the past four days. AS
the arrest was made on federal warrant,
Mulhall was taken to Aspen tonight with
out reQusitlon.
The engineers Of the mines estimate that
the gang robbed the company of $4,000
worth of silver in q few months. Mullhalts
accomplices are awaiting trial az Aspen.

Two Arrests I'm New Yorlr.

New YoRK, June 11.--Acting upon instruc-
tions from Chicago, Police Inspector Byrnes
to-day caused the arrest of John
Maroney and Charles Mcdonald, two
men whom he has been shadowing
for suspected completely in the murder of Dr.
Cronin. The men are now at police head
quarters and will be held to await the ar
rival Of officers from Chicago. These men
have been shadowed by Byrnes' men for
some time past, and yesterday the inspector
signed by States Attorney Longnecker
and Chief of Police Hubbard, asking for
their arrest.
The man Maroney is John d. Maroney, a
dry goods merchant. He has been promi-
especially in the land league. He often
spoke publicly against the use
of violence in behalf of Ireland.
Very little is known Of Mcdonald.
Both prisoners were taken before Inspector
Byrnes in the afternoon. They denied any
knowledge of the crime. They admitted they
were members of the tCian-na-Gael. I'm
mediately after the prisoners arrest they
were taken to the Tombs police court They
will be held for murder in accordance with
the instructions given Inspector Byrnes
from Chicago. st
An evening paper prints this OF Maroney
HE resided once. IN philadelphia He was
eventually compelled ito leave that city, and
since that time has been understood to
have performed missions of a private
nature IN connection with the Clan
na-Gael. On the occasion of the queens
jubilee, a few years ago, Maroney was
one of a number ofmen who went to Eng
land with the funds of revolutionary or
ganization for the ayowed purpose of blow
ing up several public buildings. Maroney
blew up nothing, and two of his companions
were arrested. Maroney has never had any
regular business, but was generally well
supplied with money. One of the charges
made against Sullivan's administra-
tion was that S7O0 of the funds of the Clan
na-Gael went into the mems furnishing
business, which Maroney carried on in Phil
adelphia, and in which he failed. Maroney
was one of the men who before Cronin's body
was found in the sewer, was most pronounced
in the opinion that the, doctor had not met
with foul play, but had left Chicago to avoid
the disgrace resulting from some scandal with
which he was professionally connected,

The Commission Embarrassed
by Secret Opposition.
The Kicking Indians win Sign.

ROSEBUD, via Valentine June H. SpeciaI
Telegram to THE BEE. There has been
but little Of Importance transpired here to-
day. The Indians are still coming in slowly
and signing the treaty. Up to the present
time, 995 have signed leaving but 45 more to
be obtained for the successful termination of
the council Every one feels fully assured
this will be done in the morning, and it is
now believed by a number of mixed breeds,
when tho full number OF names
have been secured to make the bill success,
there will be such rush from the over
thrown opposition as to make II most
unanimous issue. The influence of Hollow
Horn Bear and Yellow Hair on Quick Bear,
chief or the Wyiasis, in signing the treaty,
caused him to gracefully follow their exam
pie. The only two chiefs left who stand out
are Good Voice and Two Strike.
A chief of the Cheyenne river agency, to-
day said he wanted to get copy of the new
PHI and have it explained to him, then take
believing if this is done, the commission
would have but little trouble when they
came.
The commission will leave here tomorrow
afternoon for Valentine, where their special
car remains, and leave for Rushville on their
way to Pine Ridge. A number of half
breeds will go over also, for much of the
work and dispatch in getting the treaty sue
ceSs1ully presented TO the Indians here was
done by Louis Richards Louis Bordeaux
and Charles TacSett. The commission has
great qualification over the result, as there
was a secret power, all the more powerful
because of its very secret work. to keep the
Indians from signing.
There was quite case in the position of
the doctor at the agency yesterday. DIR.
Daniels arrived from Washington to assume
the position held by DR.. Woodburn. AS soon
as a telegram could travel to Washington
and back DIR WOO1hurn renS stated

there has not been the least complaint, is H.
