 RATCHET, TROUBLE
Police Throw Some Light in the Cues ton of Where all the Money of the Country is Hiding.

Marshal Moore and Officer Trout man yesterday located one of the chief causes of the late financial panic when they threw into jail a perigrinating clearing house that was loaded to the guards with circulating medium. gold. silver and paper currency. The insti- tuition was personified in Manuel A. Martinez who was a safety deposit vault rather than a clearing house, though the charge against him was q threat 10 hack Francisco Angulo up into hamburger, by means of hatchet he held in his hand when arrested
 About noon a report came to the city hall that two men were fighting in the Mexican bakery near the wood yard and the two officers went there as quickly as possible. As they ap- preached the house they heard the sanguinary promise of Martinez and smashed the door open without cere- mony, catching Martinez with the meat ax in hand. Angulo was dis covered in the humiliating attitude of standing feet upward with his head in a cracker box where he had been unceremoniously lodged by short arm blow by Martinez. from whose hand the blood dripped copIously
 After both were placed under arrest and Angulo was eXtricated from the stocks. explanations followed. The men had been enjoying general rough and tumble for sometime in the course of which Angulo introduced the hatch ct. Martinez seized it and in disarm- ing his antagonist suffered a couple of ugly wounds on the hand. He was in the act of informing Angulo of his cleverness with the newly acquired weapon, and his impulse to give a demonstration, when the officers ar rived.
 At the jail both men were searched Angulo was as innocent as q new born babe, of such assets as moth and rust might corrupt. In great contrast Mar tlnez oozed money from every pore. It was in his shirt ana in his pockets. A ledge Of twenty dollar gold pieces was found in a belt around his waist. In an inner belt beneath his shirt there was also gold pay streak while the gangue matter of the belt was heavily impregnated with bank notes. There
 
 ties. Among them was . Sg gold coin made m Mexico in l5S5. In another deposit a pair of gold spectacles and a gold watch were uncovered and a cropping of free gold was found in the shape of a watch chain. The only placer indication or nugget formation was ten dollar Mexican gold piece which was utilized as watch fob.
 When Manuel emerged from the off, clal mill besire other property speci- ncally mentioned, the officers had re- covered on the plates S55945. They are not sure vet that some hundreds of dollars did not escape in the tailings but they got all they could and did moi dore submit him to the cyanide pro- cess. In police court each man was fined s25 for disturbing the peace. They claimed to be friends and former busi- ness partners in a bakery enterprise at Roosevelt which Angulo insisted ended in financial disaster. Martinez paid his fine and departed. leaving his wealth in the hands Of the police for safeguarding. He thoughtlessIy for got to pay the fine of his friend Angulo who still languishes.
 Martinez is not a Mexican as might be supposed from his name. but is of Spanish birth and lineage and speaks q language quite different from the dia- lect of Angulo and most of the Nexi- cans Tn these parts. He is a carpenter by trade and has a fine kit Of tools evidently being a skilled mechanic. Nobody ever found out or cared what they were fighting about.
