WHOLESALE ORE STEALING.

James Shepherd, whom City Detectives
Murphy and Ray n S. j. Reynolds, rep
resenting the Boston & Montana COM
pany, charge with having conducted a
wholesale business of purchasing stolen
ores from the Boston & Montana n
Butte & Boston companies, was arrested
his afternoon and lodged in Jail. In his
possession was found a quantity of first
class copper ore, valued at about $500,
and he is said to have made eight or ten
shipments within the past month.
The officers say that the case against
Shepherd is very similar to that Of Gui-
doni, whose preliminary hearing, held re-
Gently before Justice Harrington, and
which resulted in Guidoni's detention for
trial in the district court. The officers
have been watching Shepherds opera
tons for some time, and are of the opin-
ion that they have a good case against
him.
