How the Notorious KnowitOR and Kelley
Raised $4,000 on Gilded
RuqQefs.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 5.-Since
the arrest of George Knowlton and Tony
Kelley at Seattle for fighting over the
spois of their confidence games it has de-
veIoped that they operated quite extern
sively in this section. A telegram re-
ceived here from Bolton Rogers, ex-Chief
of Police at Seattle, first gave publicity to
their great Southern California trick,
though it was not strictly what he called
it-a gold-brick swindle.
The story at first related was to the
effect that Knowlton and Kelley had sold
for $4,000 a bag of spurious gold mug
gets consisting principally of gilded pei
let's of lead, with some chunks of real gold,
to l. w. Lord, q wealthy rancher of San
Bernardino, and G. A. Bowram, an Eng
lishman, looking for investments Lord,
who was q Supervisor of San Bernardino
County, was in the city to-day and to d
the true story, which is more CreditabIe
to him and his colleague, though it does
not lessen the Offense of the schemers who
put up the Job.
Lord says that instead of his being bit
ten on gold brick swindle, which would
imply desire on his part TO take advan-
tage OF some one, he was only taken in"
on salted-mine proposition, the nuggets
being used as g bait and made to change
character by some sKillful sleigh tot
hand. The two sharpers, passing as
miners, made proposition to sell to Lord
and Bowram very rich mine, and as a
sample OF its products exhibited a forty
i've pound sack of nuggets.
To prove that the stuff was real they
invited Lord and Bowram 10 take some of
the nuggets and have them assayed. The
two took a random some little chunks
winch were taken to an assayer and de-
clared to be good gold A deal was made
or the mine, and as Knowlton ana kel-
ley had TO go East the next dav on press
ing business they asked for an advance of
SlU,OOO, and said they would leave the bag
OF nuggets as security. There could be no
risk in this, for the bag could be put in a
safe deposit box to which Lord and
which could be opened only by their mu-
tual consent and Joint endeayor.
While Lord was signing the book at the
bank tae arch consplrators changed the
valuable pouch for one Just like it, con-
tanning the Jumps of giided lead. The
bag OF cheap metal was immured in the
bank vault for time and then, the
miners not returning on schedule time
suspicious were aroused, an investigation
made and the nature OF the fraud disclosed
to the dupes. But for the arrest of Krowl-
ton and Kellevit Is probable that thls deal
would never have been made public
SEATTLE, WASH, June 5.-Harvey w.

COS BroadW ay, June ..
Frank Majolia shot his foot off to-day
on the Meek ranch in a somewhat strange
manner
For n long time there has been feud
between the residents on the Meek and
Lewellyn ranches 1t was brough t about
by the wanderings OF chickens, which did
not respect the boundary lines Of the
ranches. The feeling between the parties
finally became so bitter that guns were re-
sorted to, and on many occasions trespass-
ing chickens have been massacred and
their carcasses thrown on to their owner s
premises.
This afternoon Majolia was on duty
with his gun on the Meek ranch, and he
proceeded to shoot some Offending chick
ems Contrary to precedent the chicken
started 10 run toward him, instead OF
from him, and Majolia kept pointing his
gun at the bird till it was right down at
MS feet, when he fired.
The shot literally blew his foot to
pieces, and when taken to a doctor it was
found necessary to amputate 1t. MaIoiia
says he cannot explain how he came to
shoot himself, but supposes he must have
made up his mind to shoot just before the
chicken ran behind HIM.
