Exposure Of the Methods Of a
Former Spokane Firm.
MESSRS. PIERCE, WRIGHT & co
Pierce Supposed to Have Fled From Lon
don to Mexico with Million
DOlIars-Sold Bogus Bond,

Spokane Nov. 25.-Correspondence
Spokane has been entertaining a
Napoleon of finance unawares. The
firm of Pierce, Wright & Co, who oper-
ated here in the boom days and up to
the close of 1892, has succeeded in start
ling London and New York financial
circles, and has created a tremendous
sensation at Yankton, South Dakota
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Chicago
papers bring graphic reports of the
audacious operations of the senior MEM
Der of the firm. He has left London,
England, in hurry and is supposed
to be in Mexico with a million procured
by fraud and forgery. Pierce operated
around Yankton, South Dakota. He had
bank there, and was a local plunger
His method was to prepare bogus school
bonds, dispose of them in England, pay
the interest through his bank, and so
on indefinitely. He is also charged with
| selling imaginary silver mines, and with
collecting mortgage payments due Eng
fish capitalists and retaining the pro-
ceeds His property in Yankton to the
value of 100000 has been seized. 1t is
| said he left London with million dol
| lars. Gilman e. Co. of New York are also
said to have bought large Jumps of his
bogus paper.
The Spokane directory for 1892 con-
| tains this card:
pierce, Wright & Co., of London,
England. Loans, bonds, mortgage bro
kers and foreign exchange agents. H
D. Skinner, manager, "a and 25 Cushing
block"
Mr.. Skinner is still in Spokane. He
is associated in business with T. b.
Richards, and the firm is engaged in
money loaning and insurance He
could not be found last night, having
removed from the residence given in
the last city directory. Whether Pierce
engaged in crooked business in this city
| is as yet purely a matter of surmise.

FUNERAL OF }. H. WILLIAMSON.
Pioneer of Palouse City-FIour Mills Are
booming.

Palouse, Nov. 27.-The remains
of the late ]. H. William
son, who was a pioneer and one
of the first hotel keepers in this town,
were inferred in the cemetery here yes
terday. The funeral rites were observed
at the residence of the deceased in the
presence of the family and a large
number of friends who followed the
coffin to the grave. Mr.. Williamson had
only been i'll for three days, the end
coming very suddenly.
Both the roller mills in this town have
been working for the last two months
night and day, endeavoring to fulfill
their contracts which are far ahead of
them, and it is expected that in order
to keep pace with the demand, they will
have to run without cessation for the
remainder of the year. Most of this
-four is being shipped to the orient.

Six Masked Men Make Rich
Haul at Baker City, Or.
ALL THE EMPLOYEES HELD UP.
The HoteI warshsuer's Bar TIL Wa
AlsosRelieved of Its Entire Con-
tents-BurgIars Vanished.

Baker City Oregon. Nov. PA dar-
ing robbery was committed here at
o'clock this morning. Six men, heavily
armed with rifles, shot guns and re-
volvers and wearing masks, entered the
Hotel Warshauer. The employees and
bystanders were placed under cover of
the arms, while two of the robbers
relieved the saloon bar till and the
faro game of the cash, amounting to
about SLIGO, which they placed in
sack and departed.
The fire alarm was turned in by the
officers a few minutes after the rob-
berry, which brought out large num-
Der of people, but the robbers made good
their escape. There is no clue whatever.
RICH HAUL IN TEXAS.
Ell Reno, o. T., Nov. 27.-Twenty-five
thousand dollars was expressed from
Kansas City to George Isaacs, a veal
thy Chickasaw cattle man at Canadian,
Texas, arriving there Saturday evening.
When the train pulled into the Canadi-
an station, the bandits opened a fusil-
ade on it. Sheriff MCGEE took a hand
in protecting the express car, and was
shot to pieces by the robbers. Several
others were fatally wounded in the en-
gagement, among them being some of
the robbers who were carried away by
their pals. The gang was chased into
the Wichita mountains, where battle
occurred Sunday evening. Several par
Elephants are reported killed

was not a portion of his income for
school bonds, tax certificates, etc.
1t is said that Mr.. Pierce has also
been dealing largely in fictitious silver
mines. If so this part of the work has
been conducted remote from Yankton
and there is nothing here in evidence.
He has been an all-round rustler
and money could hardly come to him
fast enough to meet his demands,
though he secured it by easy processes
and in quantities sufficient to stagger
belief. He was sometimes hard up. Oc-
casions were frequent when it bothered
him to meet. his office and living ex-
penses, but he always paid all claims
finally.
1t is not thought that the collapse Of
the Pierce house will embarrass any
Yankton business establishments. With
local business men he had no entangle-
ments. There is yet unpaid a consider
able sum for grading work upon the
Yankton & Norfolk railroad, but these
accounts are of long standing and the
losses will produce no new results. He
is said to have received payments of
loans secured to English money lenders
by mortgage without delivering
the money to those who loaned it, and
that he has neglected to give discharges
of mortgages in these cases. If so the
parties who made such payments will
be losers. The present whereabouts of
Mr.. Pierce are unknown. He is said to
have left England last month for AM
erica and to have gone to Mexico. That
he is not in England seems to be gener-
ally conceded.

UTE INDIANS INVADING UTAH.
san Juan Indians Want Them Driven
Back TO Colorado.

DdSh ~ OOlOiduO.
Salt Lake, Nov. Ex-Governor West
received letters today from the sheriff
and other officials of San Juan county,
Utah, asking for assistance in driving
out 500 Ute Indians. These Indians have
come over from the Los Pinos agency
in Colorado, bringing with them 10000
sheep and 1000 cattle. They state that
they were sent by Indian Agent Day,
who told them that they had a right
to occupy these lands. They have driv-
en- the settlers from their grazing lands,
and announce that they will fight rather
than return to Colorado.
About 300 Navajo Indians have also
left their reservation in this territory
and seem to have formed an alliance
with the Utes. There are not sufficient
white settlers in the county to cope
with the Indians. They are in a bell
igerent mood and the settlers are great
ly alarmed. Governor West immediate
ly notified the secretary of the interior
