Helped Himself to Stock.

Behind the publication by detect
i've agency in New York of notice
warning brokers and bankers that the
assignment on two certificates Tor
100 shares of United States Steel pre-
ferred stock, worth about $4,000
and one certificate for 80 shares OF
Michigan Copper mining stock, worth
about $500 had been forged is report
that the certificates were stolen by
trusted man in the employ of Edward
Breitung of Marquette.
1t is stated that the employe ex-
pressed desire to take short vaca'
tion three weeks ago. After he had
gone, Breitung learned that the man
had left no definite address and told
different persons various stories as to
his destination. Suspicion was ar
oused and an examination Of the
safety deposit box, to which the man
had access was hurriedly made. 1t Is
said to have resulted in the discovery
that several hundred shares were
missing besides the certificates men
| toned.
Breitung hurried east and found
that the man already had transferred
some of the shares to his own name.
Owing to the form Of assignment
which the certificates bore there is
some question as to who will have to
bear the loss.
Mr.. Breitung was one Of the old
timers on the Vermilion range and
the township of Breitung was named
after him. He was one of the original
openers of the Soudan mines.
The clerk, Wallace. was arrested in
Liverpool last week and the larger
part of the money realized from the
sale of the stocks was recovered. Mr..
Breitung, on his return from New
York where he had gone in regard to
the affair, stated that Wallace would
be brought back from England as
soon as eXtradition can be affected,
and conveyed the impression he has
fully determined to push the case
against his late employee.

EVELETH. Mimi, June 3.-Af.er a

ties to-day succeeded in effecting Il tenn

cause mis- death.
"A fight between a Finn and an italian

morning. The men were both former en-
ployes Of Drake & Stratton and con-
troveiSy arose between them which cul-
minated In hand TO hand contest. Sheriff
Butchart and his deputies. who were on
the scene early. interfered and tried to
separate them. One OF the fighters Grew
a revolver on Deputy Horigan, but when

surrendered and WAS arrested. This was
the signal for general attack on the of

by the strikers. The mob soon dispersed.

VOICE FROM THE DEAD
SPEAKS. IN DUNN CASE
Damaging Testimony of Marie
Sampleson Read from Reporters
Notes to Fl. Wayne Jury.
HAD PERJURED HERSELF

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, June 3.-The high
lights in the Dunn trial to-day were in the
testimony of Marie Sampleson. the dead
housekeeper of Dunn. VITO was the states
star witness in the former trial. The evi-
dence. OF course. was read from the steno-
graphic notes of the court reporter.
The jury heard with strained interest as
the court reporter read in Marie's testi-
mony that Dunn told her the child was in
Wallen and was dead: of her hearing
screams just as she returned from a neigh
bors about lD O'Clock i'm the afternoon.
and that. looking out pretty soon, she saw
Dunn standing with a horse i'm the barn
door: OF Dunn coming In 10 dinner pretty
soon and looking pale and weary and hav-
ing little appetite for his dinner and of
his saying that he came near being sun
struck. She told through the reporter of
Dunn searching with a lantern about the
barn in the evening and that he discour-
aged her entering the barn. She told of
Dunn coaxing her to leave the community
and go to Toledo, where a young man
was TO care for her at Dunns expense
There was intense silence i'm the COURT
room when she told of her maternal ex-
pectations. The most damaging feature of
her testimony was that Dunn told her the
child was III Wallen and was dead but to
keep still about IT,
The fact was brought out however. i'm
crosse xamination that she had committed
perjury either before the grand jury or the
court The evidence was continually sug-
eestive Of voice from the Srave.
