SEVERAL MERCHANTS BEATEN
WITH THE GOLD LEAF
GAME
MADE RICH HAUL FOR one DAY
SyvindIer Impersonated Well KNOWN
Firms and Sent Messengers to
Get the Valuable
Metal.
NLOBE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
ID 20 WASHINGTON AV. SOUTH

Several Minneapolis firms were clever
~ victimiZed last week by what is known
20 the police as the gold leaf swindle."
The method employed is quite common,
although it has been seldom worked in
this city, to secure gold leaf Gold leaf
IS worth $725 per book Gamble e. Lud-
wig, Hennepin avenue and Third street,
We're defrauded of nine. books, worth
$65.25; FoIman, Ford & Co., of five books
worth $3G25; J. B. and c. T. Moffett, 21S
Hennepm avenue, of five books, worth
S36.25, and the Twin City Paint COM
pany of two books, worth $14.5O. Taken
together, the swindler secured a snug
sum by one days clever operations.
In the case of Gamble & Ludwig the
swindler went TO a telephone, called up
the firm, and represented himself as
speaking for John w. Thomas Co.
The price of gold leaf was asked, with
the explanation that the firm desired to
fill out an order. Gamble & Ludwig
We're told that a messenger would be
sent for the leaf, nine books being or
dered.
In the case of NIoffet Bros, the swind-
Ter represented himself as talking for T.
NJ Roberts and ordered five packages and
in the case OF Forman, Ford & Co., the
swindler also represented himself as
talking for T. NJ. Roberts.
The method employed in each case
was the same, a messenger being sent
for the leaf after telephoning. Yester-
day the swindle was discovered when
the bills began to come in and the police
Were notified.
Detective Joseph Lawrence says that
the swindler is man about sixty years
of age five feet six or seven inches in
height and had gray mustache and
wore a dark coat. colored pants a brown
Fedora hat and vici kid shoes and long
gold watch chain. He is supposed to
have left the city.

Effect of Dynamite Explosion Prov

CHICAGO, July "A bold attempt by
two masked men to loot the safe of the
Globe Lumber company early today was
frustrated by an accident that may prove
fatal to one Of the marauders. In ex-
plod1ng dynamite to shatter the lock of
the inner door Of the safe, one Of the men
had his right hand torn away and his
arm shattered, while the other was struck
in the face by a flying fragment of steel.
The injured men fled, leaving gagged
and bound on the floor three men en-

surprised, sleeping in the room adjoining
the office. So copiously did the blood flow
from the wounds of the safe robbers that

floor, but the red liquid was despatched

The Jones Ordinance Will Be En-
forced. 1t Is Snid.

Minneapolis saloonkeepers were yester-
day formally notified by the police that
the Jones wine room ordinance had be-
come operative and they were instructed
to remove their wine rooms. A very few
saloonkeepers had complied with the
ordinance. Others proceeded to do SO
during the day.
At one Third street saloon and restau-
rant the partitions designated as wine
rooms" were removed and the whole
space occupied by them will be turned
into a commodiOus dining room. At a
saloon on First avenue the wine rooms
We're securely barred but the partitions
remained. At a restaurant on First ave-
nue. south, where private dining rooms
have been maintain over the restaurant,
the proprietor announced that no more
liquor would be sold in the dining rooms
The majority of the more objectionable
wine rooms are in the form of restaurants
and dining rooms over saloons, where con-
siderable liquor and very little food is
sold. Some of these places paid no atten-
ton to the ordinance last night Others
were closed, waiting for the outcome Of
the case in the supreme court.

ONCE MORE.
Another Man "COnfesses, to The
Wise Murder.

The officials and private detectives
working on the Wise mystery have Sc
cured a second confession with "all the
revolving Details" and the second one,
like the first, is from a half-witted per-
son. Unlike the first, the second person
who has confessed to the crime now
comes forward and says that he confess
ed because he was afraid of being thrown
into the lake.
Sunday William Mattison, sixteen years
old, made a full confession of the crime
His story was that he was taken out to
the Wise farm and compelled to shoot.
lie claimed to have shot "a little boy in
the corner" His story is a wild one.
and would hardly obtain credence with a
Mother Goose story. Nevertheless his
tale, like Donahue's, was heralded
abroad, the mystery was solved and the
guilty parties would be brought to JUS
tice.
Yesterday Mattison took back every
word of his confession, and in addition
his parents say he was in the house at
the time the shooting of the Wise family
occurred.
