POLICE ARE WARNED
PORTLAND OFFICIALS SEND LET
TER TO BUTTE AUTHORITIES
ALLEGED SWI"DLERS WANTED
Two Clairvoyants Styling Themselves
Professors Charged With Having
Taken $1,000 From Con1id-
ing Woman.
ALLEGED SWINDLERS WANTED

That time and often worked, clair
voyant "him fam game, appears to
have been successfully brought about in
Portland recently, and now Chief of Po-
lice Reynolds is in receipt of letter
warning him that the perpetrators OF
the alleged swindle are thought to be
in Butte.
The information is contained in let
ter received from Chief of Police B. M.
Mclaughlin of Portland, and recites
/, an experience met by an unsuspectlng
and guileless woman at the hands OF
two smooth characters, who relieved
her of $1,000 in cash and valuable dia-
mond ring.
They're Called Professors.
The men whom Chief Reynolds has
been asked to look out for are Prof.
c. Emerson Hope and prof" Allen
said to be partners, and who have been
operating as clairvoyants, palmists ana
mediums.
According to Chief Mclaughlin, the
men dressed in fine raiment, jewels, etc,
and topped their attire with the usual
silk hats, which, in the minds of many
unsophisticat ted, give prestige. They
advertised extensively with a long list
of references, and, it appears, did a
thriving business.
Among their patrons, according to
Chief Mclaughlin, was a woman whose
name is not given. She was made to
believe that Prof. Hope was possessed
of more than the average occult power
She was also induced, it is claimed,
to part with diamond ring and to
draw $1,000 from a bank.
Placed in Bag.
The money was placed in bag and
brought to Hope, who it is said, agreed
to cast a lucky spell about it, SO that
it would increase manw fold.
| Then came the casting of the lucky
spell, with the admonition that the bag
was not to be opened for two days.
| The woman returned home with a
bag, which she supposed contained her
savings, and at the expiration of two
| days opened it, to ascertain to what ex-
tent the $1,000 had grown.
| She reported to the police that tho
bag contained nothing but paper, and
that she had been swindled.
A search was at once Instituted for
Prof. Hope, and later Prof Allen was
looked for. Neither could be found, and
it was then figured out by the Portland
police that the men had worked to-
gether.
Circulars Sent Out.
Subsequent developments, it is said,
strengthened the belief to such an 80
tent that descriptive circulars were
sent out throughout the West
In his letter to Chief Reynolds, Chief
Mclaughlin states that he is led to be-
lieve the clairvoyants will make Butte
their base of operations.
Chief Reynolds is asked to arrest the
alleged swindlers and hold them until
Chief Mclaughlin can send an officer
and the necessary papers for their ex-
tradition.

CARLISLE SHUT DOWN.
No Money on Hand With Which to Pay
the Miners.

Operations at the Carlisle, on which
the Butte-Anaconda Copper Develop
ment company has been at work, have
been suspended. but in all probability
a few days will again see matters there
moving along as of old.
The cause for the suspension is a lack
of funds with which to pay the mine
men who have been employed in sink
ing and cross-cutting. Their money,
amounting to between 5000 and $1,000,
was due on the 5th and When that date
arrived and there was no money on
hand with which to settle with. them
work was stopped.
In explanation Of the shortage OF
funds some Of the members of the COM

that about $500 worth of the stock has

SHOW CAUSE ORDER
HEARING IN INJUNCTION IN
JUDGE LLANCY'S COURT.
HEINZE AND B0STON-M0NTANA
Heinze Wants the Mining Company
Restrained From Mining in the
Minnie Healey Claim-Hear-
ing Continued.

In Judge Clancy's court today an or
der to show cause, in the suit of F. Aug.
Henze and others against the Boston &
Montana company, why the defendant
should not he restrained from working
and mining in the Minnie Healey claim,
came up for hearing in Judge Clancy'S
court.
After the plaintiffs evidence was put
in at 10 o'clock the hearing was con-
tinued to o'clock. At that hour the
defendants attorneys stated to the court
that they had subpoenaed Engineer AL
fred Frank, whose evidence they needed
and that the deputy sheriff who had the
subpoena to serve had been unable I'd
find Mr.. Frank.
So they asked a continuance to O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon. The continuance was
ordered and the defendants evidence will
be put in then.
AHdavlls Are Filed.
The hearing opened at 10 O'Clock, when
Attorney Denny for the plaintiffs filed b
number of affidavits in support Of the
plaintiffs application for the injunction.
Mr.. Denny read the affidavits, and then
the case was continued until O'Clock in
order to give the defendant time to meet
! the aff1davits with counter affidavits or
testimony.
The allegation of the plaintiffs is that
the defendant is mining in Minnie Healey
ground by means of workings run from
the PiccOlo claim, which belongs to the
latter, and is north of the Minnie Eealey
! claim.
The plaintiffs want this alleged
mining stopped, and they want an in
junction to operate hereafter.
There is an injunction in the case all
ready, covering what the plaintiffs call
the Minnie Healey north vein, and it re-
strains the Boston & Montana company
from working in it's own ground on the
vein named.
The plaintiffs contend that this vein
apeXes in Minnie Healey ground aud dips
northward into the Piccola claim. ,
Ore in Dispute. ,
The defendant claims that the ore in
dispute under the surface belongs to
veins apexing in the Piccola, Gambetta
and Dayton ground, and dipping south
ward into the Minnie Healey.
The affidavits introduced by Mr.. Denny
were made by a mining engineer named
Alfred Frank and three miners named
Edward L. Mahoney, Thomas Holley and
William Ward.
One of Franks affidavits contained a
map showing the workings of the defend
ant alleged to be in Minnie Healey
ground. = 4.
Attorneys Forbis and Evans and CT
F. Kelley represented the defendant
They asked for the privilege of cross ex1
aiming the affidavit makers. but Judge
Clancy refused them the privilege.
The men who made affidavits swore
in them that the Boston & Montana conn.,
pany is working in the Minnie Healey
ground on the 600 level, and two of the
af1idavits described how the defendants
miners had blasted through the ground
into the Minnie Healey's workings.

THE FIRST AND LAST STEP.
Difficult Thing to Figure on In Total
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Men are pretty good guessers as a rule"
said an observant citizen yesterday, but 1
would like to see the color of the mans hair
who can guess the last step either at the
bottom or at the top of the stairway when
the light is out. 1t is a curious fact that the
average man will miss it at least two steps,
and no man can come any closer than the
next to the last step at the top or the bot
tom. And that awful feeling OF uncertainty
which one has in a dark hallway, when
climbing up or down the stairway One
feels as if one were about TO step off the
earth. One may hold on to the banisters
with one hand and reach out for the wall
with the other, and one may not be Keeling
under influences which come from within,
and yet one will have that awful feeling of
dread, a sort of narrowing fear that one
will step up a step or two above the top
step. or a step or two below the last step at
the bottom. Five or six steps from the top
a fellow begins TO figure on the position of
the last step, and he seems to think there
is great danger of his not stopping, and
that he might continue up, up, in the air,
as it were, and when he starts down he
seems to be fearful of walking through the
about which there can be no question,
namely: Going up a flight of steps one can
go no higher than the top step, unless a
wall is scaled, and the law of gravity de-
fed. Secondly, going down stairs one can
not get into the cellar without tearing up
the floor or walking around the house. Still,
this last step, either at the bottom or the
top, is a perfect nightmare to the fellow
who goes home late at night, and he never
guesses less than twice when he tries to
find it with his foot"

Gen. AIban Regarded at Panama as n
Hero and Possible Candidate
for the Presidency.

COLON, Nov. 3O.-The town is full of
troops from B~arranquilla. Over seven hun
dred soldiers landed from the gunboat Cen
eral Pinzon last night. These belonged in
the interior of Colombia, and are fine, able
bodied men and veteran troops. having
taken part in many previous engagements.
Among them are a few of the female rela-
tives of the soldiers. General Alban re-
turned to Panama yesterday afternoon
On Thursday. by cutting a passage
through the woods, unknown to Colonel
Barrera, who occupied a small hill at
Buena Vista, a detachment of the govern
ment forces attacked Barrera's troops in
the rear. A cross fire in both front and
rear resulted in disaster to the attacked
and the ultimate surrender of the town.
The government lost, in the Buena Vista
engagement. Captains Damian and Pinosa
and several other officers.
From Panama comes the news that the
surrender of Colon to the government
struck the Liberals like a thunderbolt, and
that they are still unable TO realize the fact
that the city is again in the hands of the
federal authorities. General Adams Colon
triumph, without the aid of troops from
the gunboat General Pinzon, is regarded as
an achievement that may possibly lead him
TO the highest honors in the service of the
republic. He was welcomed at the railway
station last night by a large crowd. He
went from the station to the barracks I'M
der escort Of a torch-light procession,
headed by a band Along the line of march
many 'vivas' were heard, and there was
much firing Of squibs. The retaurants were
open until 10 o'clock in the evening for the
first time in many months.
The recapture of Colon is admitted to be
almost a death blow TO the Liberal cause
in this department. There is no doubt that
guerilla warfare will be resumed in the
mountains, but stronger forces and better
organizations are considered essential
requisites for the Liberals if they intend to
resume the struggle seriously.
Both Panama and Colon are quiet. Trains
on the railroad still carry armed American
guards and are running on time.
The German man-of-war Stein arrived at
Colon last night.
The steamer Sunrise, belonging to the
United States Fruit Company, was wrecked
at Bocas del Terro in the rough weather
Thursday night.
The troops from the General Pinzon have
been taken by train TO various points along
the line of the railroad, where many Lib
erals still remain. for the protection of
the road.

Sumed.
