Baker City, Jan. 30.-Dstectives,
who have been quietly at work for
weeks, have secured the details of
conspiracy to rob the Colomb bia,
North Pole and other well-known
gold mines. The richest kind of
ore in the aggregate valued at one
hundred thousand, dollars has been
taken from the mines and sold by
a system that was supposed by the
operators to be proof against discov-
cry. Peter Peterson, a miner en-
ployed in the Colombia, was arrest
ed yesterday at Bourne by Deputy
Sheriff Snow and lodged in Jail.
When arraigned this morning be-
fore Justice Messick, he made a
confession of the whole plot and ex-
posed the methods of the thieves.
Peterson gave information thatwill
probably land the remainder of the
gang behind prison bars.
Peterson has agreed to turn
states evidence against the accom-
plices.
It is said that men higher in the
social scale than Miner Peterson
will be caught in the tolls as a re-.
suit of the prisoners confession.
Ten men besides himself are inn
plicated. Some of these are miners
and others are influential men of
Sumpter and elsewhere.
Az least $4,000 has been stolen
from the Colombia mine alone. Ev-
en- more was taken from the North
Pole. All of the stolen ore was very
rich.
The gold-laden rock was disposed
of through agents of the gang in
Sumpter, Portland and San Fran
cisco.
Henry T, Hendryx, republican
politician and now candidate for
registrar of the land Office at La
Grande, purchased some Of the stol-
en- ore and suit is now pending a.
gainst him for its recovery.
He is now being asked in the
courts to pay over 81 400 as the val
ue of ten pounds of ore which he is
said to have purchased.
It is said that Hendryx has been
playing the part Of detective at
the instigation of Managers Baillie
of the Columbia and Meltzer of the
North Pole. A private detective is
here also.

Kirshner, boy of seventeen has
returned to visit relatives in Plain
field N. j. Since the time he left
his home two years ago his aunt
Mrs Edward Baker had lost all
trace of him.
With $Io in his pocket he left
Plainfeld on his bicyle in search

young Kirshner said:
Il wasn't going to sponge on

Baltimore, Jan. 28.-George W.
Deems, who was buried this morn.
ing, died at the age of seventy years
from worry because he was no
longer permitted to work. Under
the rules of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road "Cousin" or soap" Deemes, as
he was variously celled, was retired
on a pension after thirty-eight
years of service.
He did not want to be retired on
a pension, but the officials conclu-
ded that, willy nilly, Deems must
take the rest and pension to which
his long and faithful work entitled
him. His birthday was early in
| December, but DEEMS pliantive
| pleading prevailed to the extent of
allowing him to work to the end of
the year. From the moment the
date was set for his retirement
DEEMS health began to fail, and
when he finally quit on Jan. 1 he
collapsed completely. Gradually
he faded until Tuesday when he
peacefully passed away.
Shock due to his enforced retire
ment was the cause given by the
physicians. But the old man really
was heartbroken by his separation
from his work.
'sFor thirty-eight years "Ceusin
George was foreman of the Mount
Vernon Machine Shops of the
Northern Central Railroad. He
made record unique in the history
of industry, for he worked through
out that whole period seven days in
every week and without holiday
of any kind or intermission on ac-
count of sickness. He was perfect
glutton for work, and would really
rather work than sleep.
| About ten years ago Mr. Deemes
worked from one Thursday night to
the following Monday morning and
only two years ago worked two days
and nights without rest. During
the week he worked as foreman of
machine shops and on Sunday he
took charge of the round house at
Mount Vernon.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 26.-The cor
ray of counsel lined up in defense af
the trust in Mr.. Hearst's coal con-
spiracy suits indicates that "the
railroads are alive to the danger OF
a real investigation.
The burden of their opening ar
guments was: "What does it all
amount to anyhow We have been
doing it for years ard no one has
bothered us. ,"

the attorney-general' pointed ques-
tlons as to how the price Of coal
was fixed and how it happened that
Fit had~been uniform among all the
companies from month to month
before the strike, they came out in
their true colors as defiant law
breakers and insolently asked what
could be done about 1t, inasmuch
as they could defy and nullify any
decree by going to New Jersey and
doing there things declared illegal
in New York.
They overlooked two or three
things, however, in the successful
working of this plan of defiance,
one that the attorney general is an
astute and experienced lawyer as
the best of the trusts stsff; and they
will still be within Federal juris-
diction where another of Mr..

Lizards two Feet Long-What

Man Died Because
They wouldn't let

New York, Feb, 2.-The pres
ence of two Mexican lizards, of
guengas, in the forehead of the
British steamship Vittoria, now
lying near the foot of Montague
street, Brooklyn, gave Capt. Mack
enzie target practice during his
voyage from Mexico and caused
two strikes of slongshoremen.
To sailors the dark olive, scaley,
douhle-collared creatures, with
long, fattened fexibls tails, sre
known as s'devils.
John Paul Jones Hawkins the
Vittoria's cook, on Jan. I3, met the
first devil" in the hold. He did
not stay to argue with the lizard,
but climbed through the hatehway
very nimbly, aud informed Capt.
Mackenzie. The crew almost mu-
tinted when ordered below to en-
gage In mortal combat with the po-
isnous reptile, so the captain with
drew his order.
The skipper is crack shot. Re-
volver in hand he crept gingerly
along the sticks of mahogany and
cedar until he could draw sight on
the creeping monster, which meas
ured about two feet. Capt. Nc
kenzie fired seven shots but failed
to kill the lizard. Then he clapped
dewn the hatch and enjoined secrecy
on all hands.
When Boss Bill" Kenney and
his gang began wosk on ths~earges
sea Friday out came the lizard from
its place of concealment. The
longshoremen fell upon one another
in their haste to gain the deck.
"I'm not afraid of them kind of
devils, nor of any other kind" said
Kenney who picked up stick,
faced the reptile and despatched it.
But the gosssipy cook had told
of the presence Of a second guega,
and the 'longshoremen would not
60 back Yesterday the second
.sdevir was discovered and a new
band of 'longshoremen struck.
Foreman Kenney was ,takinga a day
off, and at last reports the survi-
wing Mexican monster was in char

THE DOCTOR IS RIGHT.

eff men were bred as carefully
as domestic animals are, and if
they would observe the laws of
health, disease would be almost
unknown" So declares a FAM
GUS doctor. And it sounds very
fine and easy. But most of US
are not well cared for; we must
toll and strive and take our
chances. Hence a great variety
of complaints assail us,-some
from without and others created
inside our own bodies. A GER
tain kind of humor or impurity
in the blood causes a fever; and
from other causes arise pneumO-
MIA, and various bronchial or
lung troubles. Then come dis
orders of the stomach and bow
els; ailments of those important
organs, and affections of the skin
springing from foul matters in
the circulation. The very acts
of eating and drinking contin-
ually set up disorders of one
kind or another so that, turn
where we will, we seem to walk
amid dangers. To be safe we
must be on guard. To resort to
