LAwRENcEBURG. IND. january 20
The situation here to-day was most
alarming, the conditions almost approxl-
mating those OF the flood of 1884.
With the waves OF the Ohio splashing
over the levee which protects the town.
and the certain knowledge that rains
already fallen will bring the torrent over
the barriers within few hours, the peo-
pie left in this city passed q sleepless
night.
The town is ten feet below the top Of
the levee, and the whole city may be sub
merged from three to nine feet. The
money loss in that event will be close TO

and is to be unearthed at point at
Corral Majoma ON the Hacienda de
Ell Ojo in the Nomdre de Dios district
in this state.
A contract has been, it is reliably
stated, signed between Pompeyo
Alcala and Julio Corbelo, a brother
of the owner of the Hacienda. The
government has sent fifty soldiers to
the point to preserve order.
That the treasure has been found
seems to be generally admitted but

BARES COLOSSAL
MINING SWINDLE.
Auditor Finds Promoter Sold a Million
Shares, Company Had but 100000.

= By the filing of the report of the
auditor in the case of Carl Theis VS..
j. Waterloo Dinsdale, promoter of
the Little Brother Mining company,
in the district court at Prescott last
week, one of the most colossal min
ing swindles perpetrated in this ter
ritory has been brought to light.
Dinsdale, according to the auditor
report, formed company with $780,
600 shares of stock, but sold oyer
1000, 900 shares, for which there has
been no accounting. Dlnsdale is the
owner of 100000 shares of stock and
in addition owes the company s1I3,-
600.
Hundreds of poor religious people
in the east have been swindled by the
operations of Dinsdale, who quoted
scripture and poetry freely in his
prospectus, and advertised in the
religious papers. A receiver for the
company will be appointed next week.
1t is such startling statements as
the above which should cause the
legislature of Arizona to pass some
rigid mining laws.
1t is impossible to prevent swim
ding in mining or in any other line
of business, but our laws governing
the formation of mining companies
is most inadequate, and leaves a
wide field for swindlers, who are d
great detriment to legitimate mining

A Marked Coin Trapped Clerks.

Following a cash transaction in the
Copper Queen store between a Gus
toner and two clerks employed in
the store, from which, it is alleged,
none of the money received reached
the waiting cashier, two clerks were
placed under arrest by waiting officers
on the charge of petit larceny. The
clerks under the cloud are J. Wal
dorf, Jr., in full charge of the deli
Catessen department of the store,
and N. E. Adams of the hardware de-
partment. Waldorf admitted his
guilt and entered plea of gully be-
tore Judge Rice. Adams pleaded
not guilty and will be given hearing.
The money involved in the trans
action was three. dollars in silver.
One of these was recovered from
Waldorf and 81 in silver were taken
from the person of Adams. Each of
the dollars taken from either of the
clerks was plainly marked so that
there could be no mistake in their
Identification. The money was fur
nished the customer, who is unknown
to the public, by Manager Strodthoff
of the store. Before he let it 60 he
saw that it was marked with crosses
and otherwise scratched SO that it
could be easily recognized. His
agent then took the money and went
to the departments of Waldorf and
Adams. He made purchases at both
places and in each place declined to
wait for a bill, pleading that he was
in a hurry. Iu, the meantime Man
ager Strodthoff was stationed by the
cashier waiting developments. He
waited for quite while and knowing
that the money had been received
by the clerks completed his coup by
having them placed under arrest and
searched. Lee Thompson performed
this DUTY. On the person of Wal
dorf was found one of the marked
dollars and on Adams two were
found.-American.
