The cause of the trouble is that certain in

believe that Lum Out furnished infor-

led to the detention at Winnipeg
of several Cinnamon, who were returning
from q visit home. These Cinnamon. 1t
will be remembered. were recently stopped

they had passports. it was believed
the papers were the property of others and
that the suspects were trying to break

there was great commotion in the colony,

Lum Out was the guilty man. He had

nation furnished the Treasury agents was
wholly false; that the men were bona-tde
residents of Chicago, ana that their pa
pers were straight. From information
gathered at the government build

watched for several weeks by special
agents at considerable expense will now be
permitted to come to Chicago.
