A Coal Steal.

1t has been known among miners here that
State Mine Inspector McGrath commenced
survey of the mines of the Leavenworth Coal
Co.. about the Goth of October but until to-day
it was not known what object he had in view,
though it was .eported months ago that his de-
mand upon the company for complete maps OF
the mines in and around Leavenworth had not
been attended to by any OF the companies.
Mr.. McGrath asked for and was promised
copy of the map of the Leavenworth mines as
long ago as last August, but the company mar
aged to delay the matter until patience ceased
to be virtue, and about October Ist McGrath
appeared with mining engineer and made
tracing of the map, after which he announced
that it was entirely unsatisfactory, and that he
would make complete survey OF the mine
himself. After some little friction with the
officers of the company, work was commenced
and the most competent mining engineer III the
state was put to work. Inspector McGratf'
took personal charge of the survey, and each
evening when the miners quit, the surveying
marty was lowered into the mine and the work
pushed.
So close had the inspector and his engineers
kept their business to themselves that hardly
ANYBODY knew that the work was going on, and
until within few days nobody knew what had
been discovered hundreds of feet below the sur
face. The survey has been the most careful
one ever made in this state, aud it shows that
over twelve acres of state coal has been mined
bv the Leavenworth Coal Company, and that
the amount of coal so taken out is in excess of
million bushels.
The discovery of the inaccuracy (?) of the
map of this corporation has renewed specula-
ton as to maps of the other companies, and
there are plenty of miners who declare that
survey of the Riverside and the Home mines
will show state of affairs much worse than at
the Leavenworth.
The state owns several hundred acres of coal
land. besides all of the coal under the Missouri
river, and while it has been openly charged for
wears that private corporations were mining out
th;s coal. the state mines have been so managed
that private coal was mined and royalty paid
Several attempts have been made to have the
matter investigated, but until after the inaug-
uration of the Leedy administration and the
appointment of McGrath as inspector, moth
inc was ever done. 1t is the understanding
here that survey of the other mines will be

ing talked over in every store in town.
1t appears that Miller asked Donahoo
recently why he didn't sell out, to
which the latter replied that ia sufti-
clent sum was offered him he would sell.
Miller goes to Wilmington and meets
ayoung man there, whom he tells that
a good business opportunity is afforded
there II young man can be found who
will take little stock in the business.
This same young man being out of work
was anxious to learn the particulars, and
told Miller that if too much money was
not required he would like to take the
position which was offered lie told the
young man that the firm Of Donahoo &
Bro. owed him sum OF 500, and that
If he could get Il man to take stock in
the store and run it he would close them
out. T'. he said it would all have to be
done through him, (the young man),
and that it would be best to give an as.
sumed name. This the ,oung man con-
sentcd to do and gave the name OF
George Lenrgar, and his residence az the
southwest corner of 9TH ond Harrison
streets. Miller comes back to Newark
and informs Donahoo that he has a man
who is willing to give him $500 cash
for the place. lenegar comes down
the next day to see Miller
and also the place of business in which
he has promised to take stock. Tenegar
goes back and the next day Miller comes
in with three hundred dollars and tells
Donahoo that Tenegar has instructed
him to go ahead and close the deal. Mr.
Donahoo was not satisfied with the
amount offered and told Miller that if he
would give him a position as clerk he
would sell the store to him for $3575.
Miller was willing to accept him at his
terms, provided he would give him re-
ceipt in full, and let Tenegar pay the
balance when he arrived, which was to
be yesterday.
Before this Donahoo had gone to Will
mington to meet this Mr.. Tcncgar, whom
he failed to find He returned and told
his brother of his search for Tenegar and
they went and called Msler into the
store. They had Il little conversation
and Miller went out saying he would
bring him down. On going out OF the
store Miller dropped card, upon which
was prominent drug. clerks name and
. address. Mr.. Donohoo got ready and
went to Wilmington and found this Mr.
Scnegar (?), who told him everything
and il the plans he and Miller had laid
down. He said their object was to get
the store for this $500, and that to DO
this they would offer TO give one Of the
brothers employment with them, ifthcy
could get a receipt in full for the place
After the first week they could discharge
this brother and having Il receipt in inIl
for the place nothing would be left for
him to DO but take IT, Thus it is sup
posed they could gain possession with
out any further Judgment Mr.. Dona-
hoo thinks Miller was trying to injure
his business and also his name. He has
ordered Miller to keep out of his place
and from the present outlook trouble of
a serious nature is liable to grow out of
it.
