MINT SHORTAGE STANDS.
Detectives Confident That There Is
"WOman In the Case.D

The work Of counting the gold coin
In the mint al San Francisco has been
completed by the experts In charge.
The amount inspected and weighed
was S37140000. The coin was found
Intact to the dollar and has now been
checked three times, by as many diff
ferent sets OF men, so that there is
no possibility OF error The compile
ton Of the count sets at rest the the
DRY that the recent shortage OF 100000
at the mint was the result OF a mis-
count. Nothing whatever was dis
closed by the secret service agents or
Superintendent Leach in the search.
Director Roberts, superintendent
Leach and Secret Service Agent Ha-
zen were closeted for many hours Fri
day with Walter Dimmick, tho chief
clerk of the mint.
The investigation into the life led by
Dimmlck in the last year was resumed.
Information has been secured by Sc.
cret Service Agent Hazen that Dim.
mick, though a married man, has been
most attentive to a charming widow
and that her tastes were most extrav-
agant.
A significant happening In connec-
ton with the robbery from the mint
Is that the woman in the case" sud
denly left her lodgings on Powell
street on Tuesday, July 3rd, and the
next day Dimmick, It is claimed, went
to a newspaper Office and gave out the
story Of the robbery.
The investigating officers are of the
opinion that but for the publicity Civ
en- to the robbery the thief would have
been caught in a trap that was pre-
pared for him.
The woman with whom Dimmick is
supposed to have been most friendly
is well known in political circles in the
city. Investigation shows that she has
moved from one address to another in
The last year and that she was always
disinclined to tell where she lived.

BLIND TIGERS FREE.
Charleston Police Given Orders
Not to Modest Illicit Whiskey
Sellers,

A sensational move has been made
in the dispensary situation at Charles.
ton, S. c., and practically all restraint
of blind tigers has been withdrawn.
When the state authorities withheld
the dispensary profits from the city
Mayor Smyth issued orders to the po-
lice department by which the raiding
squad was notified to let the tigers
alone. This leaves the unlawful sale
of liquor free from interference. I'm
der the present arrangement the whis-
ky element is master of the situation
and the blind tiger business will thrive
without fear of being troubled or sent
to court 1t is true that num-
Der of liquor constables employed by
the state will make occasional raids,
but without the aid and cooperation
of the city police department these
state officers will not be able to &C
complish anything.
This puts new phase'on the situa.
ton there The action taken by the
municipal authorities will scarcely oc.
casion any great surprise. In view OF
the action of the state board Of direc.
tors there was little else left for them
to do. Time alone will show how much

Fire VOlley Into a Posse.

Seven revenue officers were am
pushed early Saturday, supposedly by
moonshiners, about six miles from
Monterey, in Putnam county, Tennes,
see. One man was killed and one bad
ly wounded.
A posse of six, led by Deputy Collec-
tor Bell, was creeping along a steep
hillside above an illicit still, when
they received orders to throw up their
hands. They had barely located the
speaker forty feet below when vol
ley was poured in upon them.
Deputy Marshal Thomas Price was
instantly killed and Posseman G. Nc
Key was badly wounded. The officers
returned the fire, but the moonshiners
made the place so hot that Collector
/ Bell and the survivors retired and car
ried Mickey with them.
Collector Bell has gathered another
posse and started out to recover the
] body of Price. Every deputy collector
and deputy marshal in the district has
! been summoned to join in the raid,
/ which is contemplated. The moon
sinners have boosted that they would
not be taken alive, and as they are
well armed and fortified in the noun
tains, a serious conflict is expected.
Commissioner Yerkes, of the inter
nal revenue bureau at Washington, has
received a telegram from Collector
Num-, at Nashville, Tenn, informing
him of the attack. He has telegraphed
the collector directing that everything
possible be done to recover the body
Of Marshal Price and to capture anC

alarms to eject Mr.. Jones, who said
there was no necessity for any heat.

be done over my dead body"

this juncture. The governor finally

FIREMEN'S STRIKE FAILS.

A special from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
says: More mines were in operation
and more coal was hoisted in the Wyo-

the stationary fremen's strike began.
Despite any action that may be taken
by the officers Of the United Mine
Workers Association, the fact cannot
be denied but that the United Workers

work How long they can be kept out
