CAUGHT SUSPECTED DYNAM|TER
CLEVELAND POLICE MAKE AN
IMPORTANT ARREST.
Striking Conductor In Custody-Ef-
forts to Be Made to Crush Out the
Boycott.

Cleveland, Aug. 1.-The police believe
they have made an arrest which may
lead to important developments in con-
nection with the several attempts to
blow up Big Consolidated cars since the
beginning of the present strike. This
forenoon John Schoenthal, a striking
conductor, was taken into custody on
the charge of being q suspicious person
and has since been detained at the CEN
tral station, where he was subjected to
a rigid examination by the detectives
Several days ago a well digger named
Stokes, living at Nottingham, a suburb,
told the police that a street railway
man had tried to purchase dynamite
from him. The report was investi-
gated and the arrest of Schoenthal fol-
lowed. The prisoner admits he is the
man who approached Stokes, but he
says he made the inquiry at the in
stance of another man, whose name he
does not know. He says he was ap-
preached by the stranger, who asked
him if he knew where ten pounds of
dynamite could be purchased. The pris-
oner told the stranger that he knew a
man in Nottingham who used dyna-
mite, and he might have some to sell.
Thereupon he went to Nottingham, saw
Stokes, but failed to get the explosive.
He reported his failure To the stranger
according to his story. and that was the
end of the matter.
The police will not say what they
think of the story, but they declare
they are not yet through with the in
vestigation and they look upon the ar
rest as an important one. Schoenthal
had been employed by the company
about four years before the strike be-
gan.
Good lawyers say the boycotters may
be proceeded against under the Ohio
antitrust law. which covers conspira-
cies of all kinds on the restraint of
trade. One lawyer, who has examined
the law. says that merchants who re-
fuse TO sell goods to boycOtted persons,
as well as those who assist in placing
the boycott upon them, aiding or abet-
ting it in any way, can be convicted of
without proof of the exist
ence of d conspiracy. The penalty pro-
vided is d fine of from $50 to $1,000 and
imprisonment of from six months to a

SHOT BY UNION MEN.
Agent Trying to Secure Miners For
the Occur d'Alenes.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Aug. 2.-DavS
Cornell was shot and received a prob
ably fatal wound while at the Florence
& Cripple Creek depot. His assailant
is not known.
Cornell has been in camp for the last
five days securing miners to go to the
Occur d'Alene country. He was warned
to leave town by a committee, which
was supposed TO represent the union
men of the district, and made COM
plant to the sheriff and to the town
marshal, who assured him that he
would be safe in remaining there
With a party of seven recruits he
went to the Florence & Cripple Creek
depot. Soon after his arrival the men
were surrounded and rocks were thrown
at them. They resented this assault,
and, it is said. pulled their guns. At
this action some one in the crowd
pulled a gun and fired, the ball taking
effect in Connell's side. Another shot
was fired, which took off the top of the
left thumb of one of Connell's friends.
Dave Connell is well known in the
district and served as deputy marshal
at Goldfield, Colo, a few years ago.

SITUATION AT SANTIAGO.
War Department Watching Fever
Progress With Great Solicitude.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The war de-
partment is watching with great So
licitude the progress of yellow fever at
Santiago. Reports received yesterday
were more encouraging. but it is re-
allied that there is still danger in the
situation.
In this connection it is learned that as
late as the Sth OF last month General
Miles formally recommended the re-
moval of the United States troops now
quartered at Santiago to some port on
the northern coast of America 1t is
said that, as a matter of fact, the rate
CT infection among the soldiers at San
tiago is greater at this time in proper
ton to the number of men present than
last year.
General Miles. it is understood, called
attention to this fact in his recommen-
dation and urged it as one reason for
the prompt removal of the men to the
north.
Thus far the recommendations have
not been carried out but today Score
tary Root and General Miles had a
conference on the subject.

his resignation, The duties of Mr.

SHOWERS CONSOLIDATED.
Hanging Wall Found Disclosing q
14-foot Vein of Ore.

Reports came up from Tintic yester-
day stating that the hanging wall in
the Showers Consolidated has been
reached and the developments have
disclosed a fourteen-foot Vein of ore.
Samples were received from the mine
and the ore has the appearance of
carrying very encouraging values. The
first six feet of the vein was sampled
and found to contain values averaging
; 40 per cent copper and fifty ounces
silver. The ore in the remaining por-
ton of the vein is of the same char
acter and although no returns had
been received from the assayer's office
up to late hour yesterday afternoon
it is believed the values will run about
the same.
