FAMOUS GOLD BRICK
 SWINDLER ARRESTED
Together With His Pals-He Has Swindied Different Farmers Out
 of S11O,OOO

Malone, N. Y, August 5.-A man who is accused of being a gold brick swindler and of operating under the names of Smith, Ogden, Pratt and Flowers is under arrest here.
 It is charged that about a month ago he swindled a Massachusetts farmer out of $4,0O0 by means of the old game When the crime was first learned Springfield de- tectives followed Smith to Montreal. He was arrested there and allowed bail in the sum of s, GOO, which sum he deposited, and disappeared from Montreal with a con- federate American detectives, however, followed him to Ottawa, thence to Corn wall, where he hired an Indian to row him across the St. Lawrence to St. Regis on the New York side of the river. The men then came to Hogansburg. The confeder- ate, who called himself Sanderson, made his escape, but Smith was captured and brought to Malone today.
 The chief of police of Springfield, detec- tives from Montreal and New York are here. Smith is said to be an old offender. that his operations were conducted in con junction with two others, and that these three within the last ten years have swindled farmers in various places out of at least $110,000.

TEXTILE WORKERS
Met Yesterday in Boston and Or
 ganized

Boston, Aug. 5.-Reports of various inde- pendent unions of textile workers of the United States met here today to form a united organization, embracing all unions of the industry The national organiza- tions of the loom fixers, tile operators, cot ton mill spinners, textile workers, and the cards were represented. The union will have a total membership of se,000.
 A temporary organization was effected. It was voted to name the proposed-organ- iza ton the American Federal Convention of Textile Operatives" Bylaws will be submitted at the next convention, to be called by the officers.
 The leaders say the time is opportune, for textile operatives of the United States to become thoroughly organized in one body for mutual protection against the combin- ation of capital, past experience teaching that lack of interest by the various unions in standing aloof, one from another is oet- rimental to textile workers obtaining fair remuneration for labor.

DESPERATE FIGHT
 WITH INCONSISTENCIES
Demand From Marshal to Sur render Was Answered
 With a VoI|ey.

Pauls Valley, I. T., August 5.-As result of pitched battle with moonshiners near Johnson, twenty miles from Pauls Valley, one deputy marshal was slightly wounded and another Schrimsher, of Pauls Valley, is missing. The band escaped under cover of darkness. Schrimsher is believed to have followed the band and been killed.
 A second set of endorsements was sent from here today.
 The outlaws are part of band that was raided near Center a few days ago, when five men, together with a still and a quan- tity of liquor were taken. The leader, Tice, veteran Arkansas distiller, and other members of the band escaped. After a hot pursuit they were located by a posse of deputies in deep ravine near Johnson.
 A demand to surrender was answered by a volley of bullets and shots were ex- changed for over an hour. The deputies surrounded the outlaws position to await daybreak and the latter escaped during the night. They are all well armed and their capture will be a dangerous undertak- ing.
