-FOUR JAILED AS
COUNTERFH|TERS
SECRET SERVICE OFFICERS CAP
TURE GANG AND FIND
SPURIOUS COIN.
CAUGHT BY CLEVER RUSE; ONE
RECENTLY RELEASED FROM
PRISON.

Rhinelander, Wis, Aug. 10.-Uniteu
States Secret Service Agents L. r.
McManus of Milwaukee and Thomas
Porter Of Chicago yesterday arrested
Hugo Rudolf and Albert Donnerstag,
and Adolph Zacharias upon the charge
Of counterfeiting. Spurious So, $40,
and $40 gold pieces were reported froLa
ineighboring cities about two weeks
ago, and Secret Service Agent Nc
Manus of Milwaukee took the case in
hand. He started in at Merrill.
Passed Coin on Train.
Following out his clues he went to
Heafford Junction where he found that
the false coin had been passed on the
tram. He secured an accurate de-
scription Of the man who was passing
the coin and came to Rhinelander, be-
ing joined here by Special United
States Agent Thomas Porter Of Chi
cago. Rudolph Donnerstag was ar
rested quietly Saturday night while on
the street. Two S. and one $40 COLO
pieces were found on his person
wrapped in a chamois skin bag. All
were counterfeit.
This morning the officers enlisted the
services Of Undersheriff Vaughan and
Chief of Police Straub and left in two
rigs for the Donnerstag home, fifteen
miles west of here. The family was
looked upon as dangerous, all Of the
boys being handy with guns. The
! son, Hugo, has served a four year
Of his father, whom he shot dead, af-
| terward crushing his head with an
! iron bar. He was released last fall.
After travelling over the worst roads
| in the county the party arrived at the
DOnnerstag home, skirting it in order
to look over the ground. The agents
called at the house and found the
! boys absent. The suspicious of the
tmother were alIayed by the statement
! of Agent Porter that they were look
ing for a murderer who had passed
/ that way. Mrs. Donnerstag said that
Hugo and Albert were fishing in a
nearby lake and the party proceeded
on to the house of Rudolph Donner-
stag, four miles distant.
Come Out With Automatic.
Hugo saw the party coming and
running into the house seized an auto
matte rife, stopping to hide something
under the building as he passed out
and around it. With the rifle resting
! loose in his arm he advanced toward
the men in the buggies. McManus
asked him if he had seen a man pass
that way and repeated the story told
Mrs. DOnnerstag. Hugo laid down his
gun and upon the instant was COW
cred and ordered to throw up his
hands. Albert was taken in custody
at the same time. Hugo's pockets
were searched and gave up two $40,
two $40, and two S. gold counterfeits.
/ The residence Of Rudolph was then
searched and the hired man, Zacha-
, rias, found in bed. He also was taken
! in charge. A quantity of acid was
discovered which will remove gold
! from a good coin and coat a spurious
metal with it.
'Sweated" gold pieces, plaster of
paris dies, and quantity Of metal
! were also discovered and further
search will be made today. The men
are all in custody at the county jail and

here with a warrant on Tuesday.

ANKENY MACHINE OPPOSES COsGROvE

AS the Bulletin predicted, the Ankeny
machine is getting ready to support Nc
Bride for governor. The Republication in
the Union on an article from the Seattle
Times claiming that S. G. Cosgrove is in
the Wilson combine, isin itself proof of the
attitude the machine will take. Cosgrove
is one of the best and most loyal Republl-
cans in the state and the intimation that he
is a party to any scheme to oppose the sue
cessful candidate in the primaries II ne
should be defeated, is a falsehood made
out of whole CLOTH Coming from the sup
porters of Mcbride, this talk about boiling
the ticket has hollow sound that deceives
no one. Simply because Mcbride and
Croker have been engaged in this line OF
campaign is no indication that the whole
party is made up of the same kind of men.
Cosgrove's friends throughout Eastern
Washington should bear in mind that he is
being opposed by the Ankeny machine,
which is in league with Henry Mcbride.
Cosgrove has not made any combine with
the opponents of Senator Ankeny and has
personally been most friendly and KIND to
him and his candidacy. There is no other
reason why the Senator's friends should
not support Cosgrove except they are in
cahoots with Mcbride or some candidate
opposed to Cosgrove.
Take Cosgrove's action in Walla Walla
as an example of his attitude toward Ank-
eny. He turned his campaign here over to
men who were known to be friends of the
Senator and has not attempted at any time
to interfere in the senatorial contest.
What more could Senator Ankeny ask?
Why should he, in the face of this fact go
out of his way to oppose Cosgrove? Dur
ing all the years Senator Ankeny has been
manipulating politics Cosgrove has always
stood loyal to the ticket when nominated,
no matter what disappointment it meant to
him. There is no reason whatever for SEN
ator Ankeny to oppose this stalwart old
Republican except it is part of a bargain
with some other candidate whom ne thinks
can and will give him more strength
Walla Walla Bulletin.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1908-05-08

1t is exceedinly improbable that either
Mead or Mcbride will secure 40 per cent of
the Republican vote in the primary. Cos
grove can come as near getting that pro-
portion of the vote as either of them and
will be the second choice of every Repub-
lican in the state who is not for him for
first choice, except handful of the ma
chine who will be instructed to throw their
votes to Ridpath or Atkinson, who are
mere stalking horses for the real candidate
of the machine, Henry Mcbride.
The voters of this state should take this
fact home and consider it well. If they
sincerely wish to destroy bossism and ma
chine politics, Mcbride is the last man to
place in the governor chair. Walla Walla
