GANG OF SWINDLERS.
Who Wrongfully Used the Mails Con-
fess to Gigantic Frauds.

Savannah, Ca, March PIN the Uni
ted States district court today d. A.
Tyson and ten others pleaded guilty
to the charge of conspiracy to defraud
through the use of mails. Thus col
lapsed a case that has engaged the
court for the better part of two weeks
and which Judge Speer characterizes as
lone of the most notable cases ever
tried in the federal courts in this coun-
try
The conspirators would send orders
by mail to wholesale merchants out of
the state for all manner of goods. prin-
cipally beer and liquors, which they
would dispense in blind tigers and the
shippers would never hear of their
money. The confessed leader of the
conspirators, D. A. Tyson, built and
equipped a long distance telephone line
connecting this city with a dozen neigh
boring towns with materials fraudu-
lently ordered on elegantly engraved
letter paper of fictitious firms Tyson
made use of number of small mer-
chants whom he persuaded to permit
the use of their names for the fraud
ulent ordering of goods The gang vic
timized wholesale merchants in Mont
gomery, Chattanooga. Richmond,
Charleston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and
elsewhere.
Judge Speer will sentence the pris-
oners in a few days.

Two Truants in the Mountains.

[From the Arizona Graphic.1
Walter and Hankie Cline were pupils
in No district, of ella. county, Ari-
iona, in the very heart of the noted
Tonic Basin. Their father was cattle
man, and the boys had accompanied
him after his stock and out upon the
Toundups till both lads, like all their
fellows, could ride magnificently, and
either could throw the RATA with ex-
actness. The boys liked their school
and rarely were missing. They respect
ed their teacher highly, for they had
seen him ride a buck1ng horse, the best
test of manliness on the western ranges.
Two previous teachers, who could not
ride, had been badgered till they re-
signed.
One Monday morning Walter and
Frank were missed by their teacher.
Their older sisters could only tell they
had left home Friday afternoon, after
school, mounted on their favOrite horses,
taking with them a lunch They were
presumed to be with their grandmother,
ten miles up the valley. The school had
been released for the noon hour when
the two lads were seen fording Tonic
Creek in front of the SchoOlhOuSe.

from their tagged horses and ravenous-

Walter meekly replied, and Hank, in an
excess of boyish pride, burst out, IAN
we got the Big Blue Bull"
1t was a fact. The boys had spent
three nights and days in the most awful
wilderness of Arizona, high up on the
slopes of the Four Peaks range, sleep
ing out amid mountain lion and bear,
hunting for wild cattle that they might
lassO and brand for their own. For
food they had only had a few strips Of
dried beef. The unclaimed cattle of the
Four Peaks are wilder and fleeter than
deer and as fierce as tigers. The king
of them all was the Big Blue Bull He
had worn out or run off several parties
that had tried to capture him, only
to be vanquished by two small boys,
who had cleverly lassoed him, tied him
leg to leg and deeply branded him IF.

NINE HOURS OR QUIT.
Machinists Are Determined to Have
Their Way.


Cleveland, O., March 22.-At four
notified early in the day that their de-
mands had been granted. In these
shops the men continued at work.
President O'ConneH of the machinists'
union has issued the following state
ment:
Eff the nine hour day is not granted
by the employers ofmachinists through
out the country by April 1, there will be
general strike involving 100000 ma
chinists and not a wheel will be turned
until that concession is made. The
strikes now in operation in Chicago,
Cleveland, Columbus and other cities,
have so far engaged the machinists
of the United States to make a general
demand for a nine hour day, and unless
the present strikes are speedily ad-
justed it will be very hard to pre-
vent a general movement. kilograms
are pouring in from all sections of the
country asking permission to make the
demand. I am, however, trying to
avoid the necessity of a general strike,
and if the officers of the national metal
trades association can be induced to
meet US in a. spirit of fairness, without
imposing unreasonable conditions to
their propositions, a general strike can
be avoided. If the employers, however,
be declared off for an indefinite period,
before they will consider the question of
arbitration an amicable adjustment can
not be reached"
President O'Conne1 left here today
for Erie, Pa, where he expects to con-
fer with President Seldom of the Ma
tional Metal Trades association. with a
view to bringing about a settlement of
pending machinsts' strikes at various

Francis Brown Is Wanted For

Information is wanted in Topeka of

man of that name who has gained I'M

ness of forging checks. The elder Brown
demonstrated that his son came honest
ly by his dishonest inclinations by forg
ing two checks aggregating $65 on To-

In both cases Brown used the name
of A. Bryson & Co. the cattle firm of
Overlook. The first check was passed
on W. F. Lake for $37 so, and the second
on Frank Sim for $27. so.
Brown had a small account at each

checks bearing the name of A. Bryson

A day OF two ago Brown told a friend
that he intended to go to Kansas City

to find him here it is thought that he
may be in that city. The checks We're
drawn on the Central National bank

the signature as a forgery.
Browns son, young man who at one

forging checks. At one time he was

LONG BALLOON VOYAGE.
TFrom Science.1


An interesting point in connection
with a recent balloon trip is noted il
the "Zeitschrift fur Luftschiffahrt.' 1.-THE
trip is question was made by NM. de
Saint-Victor and Mallet, starting from
Paris on September 80 last at els p.
m, and landing near Vestewick, in
Sweden, on the evening of the following
day The duration of the trip was 2374
hours, and the distance passed over was
j, $50 kilometres, or about 1925 miles. The
point referred to concerns the effect of
a, water surface upon the temperature
of the air at the altitude of the balloon
(about 500 metres). At about 8 a. m. on
October 1 the balloon began to drift
over a part of the Baltic Sea, and the
aeronauts at once noticed a fall in
temperature and an increased humidity
in the air through which they were
moving. In consequence of these chang
ed conditions the balloon began to de-
seend, and it was necessary to throw
out ballast in order to maintain it at a.
proper altitude.
