THEY CAUGHT THEM.
Some Clever Work by the Police Who
Spoil Wise Game.

A quick bit of work that resulted In
landing two suspicious appearing young
men in the tolls, was accomplished by
the police yesterday. The fellows were
arrested and sent in and although they
strenuously deny that they are guilty of
the charges against them there Is such
a strong evidence that they will be put
before the municipal court this morning.
While walking along Congress street,
near Deering avenue in the forenoon a
citizen saw couple of young men hang
Ing about that vicinity. His curiosity
was aroused and he decided to follow
them up for few minutes. 1t was not
long before one of the fellows sneaked up
to the front steps Of the house 778 Con-
gress street and grabbs a bundle which
evidently contained laundried articles.
The thief then boarded down town car.
The citizen at once telephoned the police
description Of the young man and the
friend who seemed to be in the same
game. Shortly after the noon class had
been dismissed, Officer Greeley sent in a
man answering to the description of one
of the chaps. Sticking out Of the pockets
of this prisoner was pair Of new shoes
and hat.
Next in turn of affairs, Deputy Mar
shall Firth instructed Officer Quinn to
cali at 776 Congress street, and learn
who owned the bundle that had been tax
en- away It was found that it belonged
to nurse who had rooms in the house.
At this time, however, the nurse happened
to be out. Soon afterwards Officer Skill
Iings re ported that Danny Friel OF Fore
street, had just bought a bundle con-
tanning a handkerchief and lady's new
wrapper. The nurse within few min
utes telephoned that she had left a wrap
per. at the Globe laundry to be cleaned.
Then by telephoning to the laundry it
was ascertained that the driver of one of
the teams was to leave such bundle at
that house. AS soon as these conmuni-
cations were concluded, a man walked
into the station and reported that he had
lost his hat and pair OF shoes. He said
he was a cook at 1873 Commercial street.
lie was allowed to look over the goods
brought in by the first man and imme-
diateIy identified them, This man on
whom these goods had been found, de-
MED that he had stolen such property.
he said that he had bought the shoes in
Bangor. He gave to the police three
different names during his Incarceration
yesterday. Frank Nash, Frank Curtis
and James Simpson. The other man
who is charged with the larceny of the
laundry bundle, gave his name as Arthur
Williams.

Max Baldauf, the 15-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Baldauf, died at

eral days, arrived home just as the
boy breathed his last. q
EYoung Baldauf was taken with the
disease about week ago and though
he suffered considerable pain and was

sidered at all dangerous until Monday
evening when his heart became af-
fected, and even then no serious con-
sequences 6 were anticipated. The

SCORES ARE KILLED.
Terrific Explosion Occurs in a Coal
Mine in Utah.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 2.-The
mining camp at Scofield, on the line of
the Rio Grande Western road, near Col
ton, Utah, is the scene of great excite
ment on account of terrific explosion
which occurred Tuesday in the winter
quarters of the coal mine owned by
the Pleasant Valley Coal company.
The cause of the explosion is attributed
TO the blowing up of number of kegs
of blasting powder. The scene at the
mine beggars description. The work
of rescue is going on, and everything
possible is being done to relieve the suf-
fering and ascertain the number of
dead. Superintendent Sharp, of the
coal company, and Superintendent
Welby, of the railroad company, have
gone to the scene on special train.
There have been SIS dead bodies taken
out of No. mine. There were $50 men
at work in the two mines, numbers l
and 4. The balance of the miners are
dead. The explosion is supposed to
have occurred in No. 4, and, extended by
a connection to No. 1. The men in No.
l are choked. Those in No. are burned
and charred.
