FOOLED THE TRIcKsTERS
How e shreyvd Chicago Lawyer De- fsatsd a Neatly Piaaasd Job

That reminds me-" said Chicago man in reminiscent group the other night, relates the Inter Ocean, "of an old story that is good enough 70 repeat. Some years ago three bookmakers put up at a Chicago hotel and handed a large package of money to the chief clerk They told him that they would leave it with him every night, and were particular in saying that it was to be delivered only in the presence of all three. IL was evident, you see. that they didn't quite trust one another. We'll, a week or SO rolled around, and one morning one of the trio came down rather early and called for the cash. Without thinking of the conditions of delivery the clerk handed it over, and the bookmaker promptly skipped. His two partners were furious and brought suit against the hotel for Se5, 900, the amount in the bundle. A smart young lawyer volunteered to take the defense, which other attorneys regarded as hopeless. When the trial came of he waited until the bookmakers had sub mitted all their evidence, and then arose with a large bundle in his hand.
 We stand ready he said, 10 fulfill the letter of agreement you have just proved This package contains s25, 900 in cash. As soon ss the three owners ap- ply for 1t together We are prepared to turn it over

OiSsenslon and Trouble Over the Big Copper Mine in MeNieo---Pres-
 colt People interested

The Phenix Herald says report was current few days ago that George Mitchell, of the Cobre Grand Copper company had been arrested. Efforts were made to run down the rumor and no definite knowledge of the matter could be gained.
 Papers were served upon Mir. Mt chell but he was not arrested He left PheniG snd went to Jerome last week and it vas al the latter place that papers were served notifying him that James Shirley and Will liam Vanderbilt had sued him foT Sl25,0O0, the sum they claim as thoir share coming from the sale oF the CObrc Grsude miues in old Mexico. They have succeeded in getting an order from tho cour. which euiuins him from handling his profits on the sale until the suit IS se,tled. Shirley and Vanderbilt have also started sult against G. W. Hull for a share oT the money paid him for the United Verde Extension mines, and have succeeded m tying up the money al- ready paid on the property. This will not, however, touch the S75.0D deposited for development work on the group. There is liable to be a long and tedious flaw contest in both cases, as the gentlo-ca who have started suit claim they have papers to prove that they are entitled to share of the money in both cases.
 IL IS thought that MT. Mitchell will be ale 10 square the Shirley matter i1 New York. but there IS another side to the Cobre Graude sale which the public will soon hear Of. IL IS an interesting story of how some men can get control of even such promising property as this without the outlay of great deal of money. lt Is not strange tbat the company dId not say anything about a sale Co the reporter, fyr there was nO sale; it was siHp aH absorption by Mir.

 The Cobre Grande company has now purchased the TIil0y mines in Yavapai county for Sl20,OO0. These claims were owned by Mir. Costello and he spent some time developing them, but lately stopped work. Mir. Costello is said to be a very wealthy man, he IS at least a very skrewd one.

sMUGGLERs BOUND BY OATES
Murders Recently Committed bx sn organized Band of spsnisrda
 Near Gibraltar.

Smuggling still forms e regular and oa;h-bound secret profession in the land of the hidalgos. Its operations have lately been quite active about the coast near Gibraltar. Several murders have been committed within few days recently on Spakish soil near the Brit ish frontiers by band of smugglers, the victims being members of the "Compania Tabacolera," a sort of GUS toms detectives for the prevention of to- bacco smuggling. Upon request of the Spanish authorities the chief of the Gibraltar police, accompanied by ma rine police officer and a lieutenant of the spanish militia, proceeded in a launch to the back of the rock to search some caves. With the aid of rope lad ders they entered cave al the height of 70 feet from the sea, where they found a Spanisrd. one to ten murderers, guarding part of the bands provisions and stock. The bandit gave considera- ble trouble 10 the invaders of the cave, but was finally cornered and in a wounded condition lowered 10 the boat by means of ropes. In times of yore these caves of Gibraltar have been the lurking haunts of pirates and snug Clers.

Formerly there were but ten members of the 2.

 Nothing less." was the republican judges reply. Well, we ten must stand together. This maverick vote goes un- der the table"
 And on the tally sheet be made the entry: "0ne scattering"
