MORE TROUBLE IN
DEATH VALLEY
"SCOTTY," NEW COUNT OF
MONTE CRISTO, HAS HIS
CLAIMS JUMPED, AND MIS-
CHIEF IS BREWING

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2O.-Alfred
Toures, a Death Valley prospector,
has come to Los Angeles with a story
of the outwitting of Walter Scott,
the desert Monte Cristo, in which he
claims to be the real owner of the
mines. incidentally Toures brings
the report that Scotty is now strand
ed at Beatty, New, and that hs camp
araphernalia and mules were sold
at auction three weeks ago because
there was no money to pay for the
feed for the animals.
Last April, according to Toures,
or 'Frenchy," as he is known
among the prospectors, "Scotty"
was reforted to have discovered a
mine in which the ore assayed $10,-
900 a ton. Toures did not believe
this and started to investigate.
The rumor said that the mine was
in the Lone Star district. near Quail
Springs. Toures who says he knows
, every spring, water hole and trail
in the desert, set out for the camp,
and upon arriving found "Scotty"
camped upon his claim. He was pa
tient, he says, and after few weeks
time saw "Scotty" depart with his
camp for Beatty. This gave an OPP
portunity for Investigation, and
Toures lost no time.
He says that "Scotty" had en-
: deavored to locate two claims ad-
joining, and that this could not be
done legally. This left the location
of the claims worthless and Toures
Immediately filed upon them.
The ore, he says, is not worth any
thing like $4,000 per ton, but will
assay from $500 to $1,000. Toures
expects to work the mine himself.
He does not expect any trouble
from ''Scotty," whom, he says, he
knows well, having had considerable
trouble with him on several occa-
sions. 1t is in accordance with the
desert law that If man does not
file a claim properly it is open to
any one who wants it,

Orchard again took the stand and
his redirect examination was con-
tinued by Hawley. A letter writ
ten by Orchard to Charles Shodda
was placed in evidence. 1t stated
that If Shoddo wanted to take
chance with hir to come on, as he
had plenty of money and the propo-
sitiOn was a ''two-time winner" Or
chard said the proposition referred
to in the letter was the killing OF
Steunenberg.
Charlie Neville was next called
He said that he lived at Indepen-
dence, Colo, is IT years old and
that his father is dead. He met Or
chard, he said, in 1904. and accom-
panied Orchard and his father on
their hunting trip to Wyoming.
They drove about 10 miles the first
day, he testified, before camping
for the night. He slept between
Orchard and his father and said that
during the night he awakened and
Orchard was gone.
Orchard came back about dawn,
and they continued their journey

MUST SLICE BRIDGE
EITHER BOATS OR TRAINS
MUST BE DELAYED.
It Has Been Decided to Cut Out Piece
of Drawbridge to Allow Boats
to Pass During Repairs.
Especial to tho Evening start

PERTH AMBOY, Sept. 16.-Shippers
along the Raritan River have threat
ened to bring suit for damages unless
the drawbridge of the New York and
Long Branch Railroad Company at
his place, which went out of commits
sion last Thursday. and which was sup
posed to have been repaired by this
morning, is not fit for use in a very
short time so that vessels can pass to
and fro without being held up for
hours, as has been the case since that
date. 1t is apparent, however, that the
bridge will not and cannot be repaired
in less than three weeks time.
During the last three days at least one
hundred vessels have been tied up owing
to the defective bridge. The cause of the
whole trouble was the sinking of the mid
die pier on which the bridge swings. 1t
was discovered last night that in addition
to the sinking of this middle pier that a
big iron girder had broken and that this
part Of the bridge will practically have to
be rebuilt as a result.
1t has been decided to cut a section of
the bridge out and float it on small boats.
This section can be foated out to let ves-
sells past and floated back to allow trains
to pass over it. This will hold up trains
on the New York and Long Branch road.
but no better plan for relief has been
suggested.
There is a new bridge being built parallel
with the old one but that structure will
not be completed until about January l.

SEXES STOLEN RIG
THOUGH DRAGGED, SLEUTH
CLlNGS TO Birdie.
Recognizes Occupants of Wagon and
Three Are Arrested-Horse and
Vehicle Had Just Been Stolen.

At the risk of considerable personal
danger, Detective Sergeant Farrell. of
headquarters, made a spectacular leap
at the head of a ~fast-running horse in
Green street late last night and just
managed to stop the animal before he
was injured. Those who saw Farrelrs
jump and catch of the horse considered
it a lucky thing that he was not in
jured, as he was dragged half a block
before he could bring the horse to a
stop.
Michael Pier, of 295 East Yanderpool
street; John Moore, 1863 Thomas street,
and Patrick Bradley, of South street,
were in a runabout at the time, and
had stolen the rig about ten minutes
before at the corner of Johnson ven
and Herman street.
Farrell had just alighted from a
Broad street car n was walking
toward headquarters when he saw a
rig in which three men were riding.
The horse was coming up the street
at a lively clip. Farrell saw that the
men inNthe rig did not own ii, as he
knew two of them. Farrell jumped for
the head of the horse, just grabbing
the bride, and managed to- stop the
horse before any of the occupants OF
the vehicle could run away. Farrell
shouted to Detective Sergeant Meehan
and then placed the three under ar
rest. The three men were each held
in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury by
Judge Howell in the First Criminal
Court today on charges of grand lar
ceny.
