FOUND GUILTY..
Deadwood Court Busy Turning Out
Criminals.

A verdict of guilty Of assault with
intent to commit rape has been rem
dered in the circuit court at DeadWood
against Jacob Mulch, who was charged
with statutory rape. The trial lasted
three days, after two days had been
occupied in securing a jury.
Much Of the evidence was OF a sem
sational nature. The injured person
was a fourteen-year-old girl from
Crook City, Amy Dotson, daughter OF
Clinton Dotson, who was hanged at
Deer Lodge, Mont, last spring for the
murder of his father, Oliver Dotson,
whose death the younger Dotson con-
spired to bring about while serving a
life sentence in the Montana peniten-
tiary.
Nearly a score of others were ar
rested at the time Of Mulch's arrest, on
! the same charge. Several OF them
iumped their bonds before the grand
iurv convened, ard another, Frank
Stewart, jumped his bond after an
information had been filed against
him.
The next of the cases will be taken
up at n j.,
William s.. Hall, who was found
guilty a few days ago on the charge
of bigamy, was sentenced by Judge
Rice to three years and two months IN
the penitentiary.

WRIGHT IS TAKEN.
Accused OF Being Concerned In coIos-
cal Frauds in London.

'" III -SHoSbs
New York, March III. Whitaker
Wright, the London promoter who is
accused Of being concerned in colos-
sal frauds in connection with the or
ganization Of various financial corpor.
atoms, was arrested yesterday on the
arrival of the French line steamer La
Larraine from Havre. The arrest was
made by two central Office detectives
at the request of the London police.
Wright was taken to police head
quarters and later to the Tombs po-
lice court, where he was arraigned be-
fore a magistrate and turned over to
the United States authorities. He
was then taken to the Ludlow street
Jail.
With Wright on the steamship was
a tall, good looking young woman,
who said she was the niece Of the pris-
oner. Her name was on the passenger
list as Miss F. Browne. Wright, when
told that he was under arrest, showed
NO evidence Of excitement, and said
that he was a
Friend Of King Edward.
His principal concern was TO avoid
publicity, and he asked that his arrest
be kept from the newspapers. Wright
and his companion were entered on
the original passenger list as M. An
dreoni and Mile. Andreoni.
That Wright did not expect to be
arrested is shown by the fact that
o o after the steamship left Havre he
told the purser that a mistake had
been made in making the tickets out
In Andreoni. His name accordingly
was changed and appeared on the ad-
ditional list as Mr.. J.. w. Wright, and
thai Of the woman as Miss F. Browne.
Wright and the young woman occu-
pied one OF the finest deck suits on the
steamship. Wright was sitting at a
desk in his cabin when found by the
detectives. When addressed by name
he at once admitted his identity, and
on being told that he was under arrest
ut the request Of the London police,
said: THAT was a business transac-
ton. I understood that the
Matter Was All Settled
In parliament. This is a surprise to
me. l am willing to go with you. All
l want is to get away from here with
as little noise as possible. Don't let
the newspapers know anything about
this"
Wright, for a dozen years or more,
was the best known promoter in Lon
don, not excepting even the great
Hooley. He is charged with s%windling
shareholders In the London and Globe
Finance Corporation Of London out of
sums aggregating, according to vari-
Gus estimates, anywhere from SIS, OOO,-
900 to $3.50, 600, 900.
The financial crash of the compa-
MES foated by Whitaker Wright came
In December, 1900. There were eleven
Of these, including the parent COM
pany, entitled the London and Globe
Finance corporation, with a total cap
italization Of $60,675, 900. Wright was
the managing director. Few million
aires lived in the same princely style
as Whitaker Wright.

Power from Wave Action.

Probably upon nc other single SUBJ
ject, save that of navigation Of air,
have SO much thought and energy
been expended as upon the conserva-
ton and utilization of the power ex-
erted upon our sea coasts by the force
of the waves. And certainly since the
days Of alchemists and astrologers
few themes of thought pursued for
practical ends have resulted in SO lit.
tie reward to their students.
For with all the theories of securing
power from wave action that have
been drawn, and with all the patents
that have been granted upon such
drawings, l do not know to-day OF a
single machine that is an unqualified
success, or for which the success
stoutIy claimed by the inventor is
borne out by the actual operations OF
his working model.-Lippincott's

GOOD r
Being Hauled to the Homestake With
Teams.

Teams.
The Homestake Mining company is
having ore hauled with teams from the
old Deadwood-Terra open cut on Bob
tail gulch to the big cyanide mill at
Blacktail, where it is crushed by the
five-stamp battery and treated with
cyanide. This is the ore that was
mining only free milling rock. 1t Is
said to contain from S. to Sc a ton,
and there is a quantity sufficient to
keep the five stamps at the cyanide
mill running for years. 1t is Of a ST.
licious nature and cannot be treated
satisfactorily in the large stamp mills.
The cyanide plant was built for the
treatment Of tailings from the three
stamp mills on the north side, and the
five stamps were put in for the pur-
pose of providing a means of handling
the refractory ore known to exist in
that part Of the company's domain.
The Lucky Strike Mining company
has recently sawed the lumber and
timbers necessary for the proposed
buildings and for the t~irabering OF the
mine, and has resumed work in he
main shaft. which is to be continued to
a depth of 100 feet on the principal ore
vein of the property. For several
months work has been in progress In q
tunnel. following a strong vein OF ore.
The shaft is being put down on this
vein at it's intersection with a cross
vein.
