When the books of Miller's Frank
lin Syndicate" were seized, it was
found that he was getting two or
three hundred thousand month in
checks from every part of the coun-
try. The flow of wealth to his little
frame tenement office was almost in
credible. The steps of the building
were fairly worn away by the feet of
depositors, and dozens of clerks were
busy sorting mail.
Personally never heard of the Syn

broke. This is a big city. But the Of
flee of the young Napoleon of robbery
was only mile or so from my house,
and have since heard of several peo-
pie who quit winners" on his game.
One who "invested' $50 at the begin
ming of the business. drew out eight dol
lars week for ten weeks, then sold his
''shares" for $50, just before the dis
closures. He knew when he went in
that the concern was a swindle, but he
reasoned that it would last long enough
for him to get his money out. There
used to be proverb that 1.-The receiver
is as bad as the thief"
Perhaps the majority of the invest
ors" in these get-rich-quick schemes
were of the same sort. They knew it
was swindle, but overestimated their
smartness; thought they could beat
the game.
Well, a good many men who have
come to New York 10 buy green
goods" have thought that, but they
have generally gone home poorer.
Miller and the other sharks who fol-
lowed his systematic city was full of
them before the exposures compelled
the police to root them out-all pre-
tend to use the none of their clients
in Wall street; they don't do it. They
pocket the money and keep sharp eye
upon the railway timetables. Any one

The Palace saloon, in Moorhead, was
robbed and the burglary was traced to
two men who were located in cheap
lodging-house in Fargo. Chief Muir

across and without consulting tie To-
cal police, arrested the suspects and
started over the bridge into Min

One man, known as Collins, who was
in personal charge of the chief, re.
sisted on the bridge and refused to go
further. Pulling gun he shot Mur-
ply through the abdomen.
After firing he started to run, but
was tripped by w. 7. Larrabee. In

revolver, which Chief Murphy caught
up and fired shot into the burglars

men were taken to DR.. Larrow's hos

John Powers is to soon install a cy-
anide plant on his mines, which are
capable of supplying large quantities
of gold ores.
James McGregor has a small cyanide
plant in operation. The plant consists
of two barrels, which are used for leach
ing after the ore has been reduced to
the proper fineness in an arastra.
Since August he has taken out twenty
pounds of auro-cyanides valued at 80
per pound. The plant requires but a
slight amount of attention and can be
operated by anyone.
