Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-06-21

AS usual the ball team went down to
defeat last Sunday when they played the
boys at Nevadaville. Since the players
have realized that change of manage
ment was needed in the local team, they
have lost interest in the great national
game. Many stick to the nine for the
reason that they do not want Idaho
Springs to be without baseball team,
Wake up boys and make the needed i'm
provements and you will find it an easy
matter to win almost every game. The
score last Sunday was to 6.

ANOTHER STRANGE CASE
CHICAGO AUTHORITIES HAVE
FRESH MYSTERY TO WORRY OVER.
Peculiar circumstances Surrounding
the Reported Death of Philetus
Jones, n Millionaire.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the reported death of
Philetus Jones, represented as a Boston
millionaire engaged in a large real estate
deal in Chicago, came to the notice of the
police to-day. Notices in last Saturdays
papers told of the sudden death of Mr..
Jones from heart disease at the residence of
a nephew in Astor street, but neither
the name of the nephew nor the street
number was given. The police have found
no one here who knew Mr.. Jones, except
John A. 1. Lee, through whom as agent,
Mr.. Jones was reported to be negotiating
the purchase of certain property. From
Mr.. Lee it has been learned that the body
has been shipped to Boston, but no record Of
the death can be found in the health de-
partment offices here nor have the officials
issued permit for the removal of the body
from the State. Lee says that Mr.. Jones
accompanied by nephew, Mr.. Alton,
by name. Lee says that an agreement TO
purchase the property was signed by Jones
within specified time, and that on Aug. p,
he received a note from Alton announcing
the death of Jones, that the body would be
taken to Boston and that after the funeral
he, Alton, would return and complete the
purchase. Lee said Mr.. Jones was a tall
man, with gray hair, mustache and beard
and seventy-three years Of age.
The police learned that the house at 142
Astor street, in which Lee said Jones lived,
had been sold recently by the former own
ers to a stranger The doors and windows
of the house were locked, and it bore every
evidence of having been closed for the
summer. NeighbOrs said they did not know
the new occupants of the house. but they
positive funeral had been held
there and that no body had been taken
away. unless it had been done secretly.
The detectives will investigate further the
shall be found to have been sold 10 Jones,
it may be broken into and searched
d. r. Thomas, an attorney, claims that
Lee was indebted to him for money loaned,
legal fees and Office rent, and TO satisfy
this debt Lee had assigned to Thomas 81, 100
of a commission to be received in the Jones
real-estate deal The police have a theory
that "Phietus Jones' is a myth.
Lee is nearly seventy years of age and is
said to be a member of the Lee family OF
Virginia. For eight years in that State
he served judge of the Circuit Court.

The board does not propose TO ask the
Legislature for an increase levy for long
term of years. but only for two. or possi-
bly, three years, until enough money is Sc
cured to pay for the improvements con-
templated. At present, the board is badly
handicapped for lack of funds and the
utility of its work is impaired. BY act of
the Legislature OF 1899. the board is forbid
den to go into debt more than $4,000 at one
time, and its present income from the
school levy of 30 cents is inadequate to
cover current and extraordinary eXpend-
itures The present board paid. during the

cipal and interest to S7 1858, money

the board will have to commit itself, the
commissioners say, to hand-tO-mouth,
close-fsted policy that will not, necessarily,
be of advantage in the Improvement of the
schools.
Commissioners Moores and others of the
board point out that the present time is
crucial for the city schools. In view of the
fact that Indianapolis is growing rapidly
in population, steps should be taken now
while there is yet time, they say. to pro-
vide for the future. Grounds certain to
be needed can be bought now for much
less than will be asked several years from
now. and buildings could be erected with
ease at the present time which will be
absolutely necessary shortly in the future

Before They Left indianapolis.

OMAHA, Aug 26-Ten warrants were

Jointly with W. Arnett. an indianapolis
labor agent with false Imprisonment. The
warrants were sworn out by ten men who
allege they were hired by Arnett to work
i'm the shops OF the Union Pacific road at
Denver The warrants charge that each of
the men was imprisoned in cars and that
they were not given their liberty until they
reached the shopyards of the company in
this city. President Burt acknowledged serv-
ice and filed a bond for his appearance in
court tomorrow.
The warrants were sworn out by ten men
who were members of a party brought by
the road on Sunday morning. They came
from indianapolis and were in charge of
Arnett Lewis Lord. a member of the party.
and who swore TO the charges In one Of the
warrants, said the members of the party
had been employed by Arnett to go to work

they were locked in the car and armed
guards placed at the doors to prevent their
escape. He says they were kept in the car
until they reached the shopyards I'm this

warned by a Union AGENT.

William Arnett came to Indianapolis
about six weeks ago to get men to go TO
Denver on the representation that they
were wanted because men were scarce.
Business Agent Collins, of the Machinists'
Union, inserted notices in the papers to
the effect that there was a strike on in
the Union Pacific shops and warned ma
chinists not to make application. About
thirty men were sent to Chicago through
the Tiffany & Rogers agency here. three
weeks ago. but the men were hired by Ar
nett. Business Agent Collins and several
union machinists went to the Union Station
when the men were sent away and told
them they were going TO take the places
of strikers Several of the mems wives
accompanied them to the station, and when
told strike vas on Tept and did not want
them to go. The men told by the
agent that there was no truth in the strike
story, that men were scarce in the West
and that they were going where they could
suade the men from going, but the agent
assured them there was no trouble. The
matter was brought before Central Labor
Union two weeks ago and turned over TO
the grievance committee TO report at the
last meeting, but il failed TO do so Collins
says other States have laws prohibiting
labor agents securing men 10 take the
wanted of them, and he hopes such a law
will be passed in Indiana.

SPOKANE. Wash. Aug. 26-A west
bound Northern Pacific passenger train was
held up at Sand Point, Idaho. sixty-five
miles east of here, last night. The robbers,
of whom there were seven, forced the en-
gineer to stop the train, after which they
uncoupled the baggage car. Then they
compelled the engineer at the muzzle of
revolver to pull up the track about three
miles further, where they tried to wreck
the baggage car with dynamite. The ex-
plosives failed to work, and after spending
fifteen minutes with the car the robbers
decamped, allowing the engineer to go back
to the train with his engine. Two other
bandits had guarded the train. keeping the
passengers inside by firing revolvers along
the sides. No attempt was made 10 molest
the passengers, and after the engine was
left by the bandits the train came on to
Spokane. The train was in charge Of Con-
ductor VIM Smith, of Helena and was
heavily loaded. About twenty shots were
fired by the hold-up men, but one was
hurt. The work is believed 10 be that OF
