midnight last night. For several years
past the citizens OF Leadville have been
bothered by petty thcfts Last night
Ben Harrison, mine manager, found
that his room had been broken into and
number OF things taken. Later
in the evening as Harrison went To
retire he heard some one going
down the stairs. HARRISON nabbed him
and summoned the police. The prisoner
gave his name as Adam Fisher. He had
forty-seven pass keys In his pocket. He
was forced to tell where his room was
and the police raIded it, Thousands OF
dollars worth OF goods of every descrip-
tlon were found stored there, while
another room full OF goods was found.
Hundreds OF people visited the jail To-
day to identify stolen property. Fisher
has been following the trade
OF shoemaker, but has been
conducting his thieving business In
connection with his daily work over two
years. Papers found In his room shows
that he has pal In San Francisco To
whom he has been shipping his stolen
goods. The probabilities are that he has
shipped a good many thousand dollars
worth OF goods away, while nearly si0,-
600 worth OF stolen stock was found In
his room. The prisoner refused to talk.
The police believe there are others here
interested In the big game, and they are
diligently searching for further evil
dence.
