This was soon totally destroyed.
The fire then spread to Glenny
Sons store, the largest importers of
chinaware in the United States, and
burned through two stories before the
fremen were able to drive the flames
in the opposite direction, where they
found material to feed on in the drug
store of Lyman & Sloan, the American

ern Union Telegraph Co., the three
latter places suffering slight damage.

JOhn 4. r. Brandrn.

Nall and Quayle went there to investi-
gate. The result of the inquiry was
that they rode out to where the Bran
dons lived and arrested the two. They
reached there about midnight. The
door was fastened by a string, and the
officers had no trouble in forcing their
way in, and the men, who were in bed,
were an easy prey to the limbs of the
law.
Having secured the men, the officers
proceeded to examine the premises. A
long and careful search yielded moth.
ing, until attention was attracted to a
board in the floor which seemed to
have been lately removed, and on pry-
ing it up the officers resurrected a COM
plete counterfeiting outfit, molds,
metal, bottles and acids, etc. and also
a batch of lead dollars in a bag. The
whole was covered with earth. There
were three molds for dollars and n pair
of molds for nickels. and SOB were
found, some finished, except for burn
ishing, and some just as they came
from the mold. There were no nickels.
The Brandons said they had made a
run, but the yield was so bad that
they melted it down and made dollars
OF it.
The young man admitted having
made the money, and the father did
not deny his own completely. Mrs.
Brandon disclaimed any knowledge of
what was going on, and as there was
nc proof of her guilty knowledge, the
officers left her on the farm.
Alonzo, the son.. said that he had a
commission as detective, issued by a
Cincinnati concern. and it was his idea
in making the money to try to get 9TH
ers to pass it, and then he would de-
tect them and arrest them, and turn
them over to the federal authorities.
The elder Brandon gave quite a
sketch of himself. He said that he
was 60 years old, had been thirty years
a member of the church and was a
mason and odd fellow. He added that
he was opposed to the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver.
The counterfeit made by the Bran
dons was rather poor stuff. Some of
the dollars might pass if concealed
among good dollars, but the general
run of the work was wretched.

shot in his breast, and before his wife
could reach him, fired another and

removing to Christian county. Mo-,
when he was 4 years old. They lived

Already his successor is being talked
