who last April was arrested as a
holdup suspect, served a 500 fine
was released from Jail, pinched
again for drunk and fined SIS. He
had $12.95 In change and offered
to pay his fine with this and &c

He went to Butte, instead. He

and 8choles went his way.

BUNCO ARTISTS
JAILED HERE
Caught Separating Victim
From Hard-E.arned
Money.

Three confidence men, believed
to be wanted in many cities, were
landed in Jail this morning by Ser.
geant McPhee and Detective Weir,
who caught them in the Judge sa.
loon on Sprague avenue engaged in
the pastime of separating Christ
Schisler, a Charleston, Wash, farm
er, from his hard earned dollars
through the medium of a card
game.
The "bunco" men gave their
names as F. A. Anderson, Tom Mo
ran and Albert Kane. Anderson
was readily recognized as the
Lone Swede," one of the most
notorious bunco men in the coun
try. About year ago Detective
McDermott and Patrolman Daniels
caught the Swede and his partner
near the C. & c. mill working a vic.
tim. One of these confidence men
took to his heels at sight of the OF.
ficers and was shot in the hip by
Patrolman Daniels. He died at Sa-
cred Heart hospital from the
wound.
Neither Moran or Kane are
known to have operated in this
city before. The latter is 60 years
old.
Schisler told the officers that
Kane met him on the street, ascer-
tanned he was going to Wallace,
Idaho, and agreed to accompany
him. 1t was suggested that they
first have some drinks together.
They went to the saloon, where
they met the other two. A card
game was suggested and Schisler
fell a willing victim.
Luckily, before the game had
progressed far the officers dropped
in and made the arrest.
The lengths to which the con-
fidence men were prepared to go is
shown by the fact that Kane had
a bogus draft on the First National
bank of Seattle for $1,400. Both
Kane and Moran had "phoney'
rolls of money.
The men have been charged
with vagrancy and will probably
receive sentences on the rockpile.

voice in the councils of the bust
ness proportionate to the amount OF
the constituents production. 1t was
during this period that the trus,
ran into . corner the Indiana Pow
der Co. and the Fairmont Powder
Co. of Fairmont, w. Va. Then these
concerns were absorbed. The Fair
mont mill was dismantled and per
manently closed down.
During all these years the trust
had been growing more solid and
more invincible. Then, in 1902, the
trust was formed. Several holding
companies were organized, one
Delaware concern, known as the
Delaware Securities Co.; another
known as the e. l. du Pont d'Ne'
mours Powder Co. and a New Jer.
sey corporation, known as the E. l.
du Pont d'Nemours Powder Co
Through these instruments stocks
in the old constituent companies
were taken over and other stocks
issued in their place. In many cases
original corporations were dis.
solved and their physical properties
were transferred directly to the
New Jersey corporation. The re.
suit is very perfect combination
of the powder business, which is
said to control no less than IS per
cent of the entire output of gun.
powder and practically 100 per cent
of dynamite.

T. X. HAD TO HUNT NELL TO
TELL HIM HE WAS APPOINTED

and was even called in to arbitrate
in the famous Hanks and Hartman
controversy over interstate COM
merce statistics. These are a few
chores which he has done for the
administration, but the story does
not half tell of his activities.
Naturally Professor Neill is con-
stantly on the verge of nervous
prostration, and it is only by con-
cealing himself in back rooms and
pretending to be out of town that
he ever gets time to write his an.
nual report. The president had to
appoint a special commission to
find him in order to tell him that he
was to be reappointed.

in West Virginia, another in Illinois
and a couple in Pennsylvania ana
Tennessee.
The the combination was again
cinched up in 1891 to 1896, by what
is known as the presidents agree
ment." This provided for what was
called board of trade in the pow
der industry, consisting Of repre-
sentatives from the constituent
firms and it was authorized to fix
prices and regulate shipments ana
production.
Meantime the Duponts were
reaching for the dynamite trade.
Some 40 Independent firms were
during this period either legitl-
mately bought or compelled to sell
and were solicited into a combina-
ton known as the Eastern Dyna>
mite Co. Today it is said that the
dynamite trade is completely mo-
nopolized as side line by the
powder trust.
Between 1895 and 1902 the COM
bination effected by the presidents
agreement, the fundamental agree
ment, the board of trade and the
Gunpowder Trade association was
made more effective by a pooling
arrangement, known as the pool

for apportioning the business to

SUITS.

Work OF firebugs in Hillyard last
night caused the loss of the Hill
yard Fuel & Single Co.'S mill, rep
resenting $2.5O0. But for timely
discovery the Champion saloon
would also have been burned. The
saloon IL three blocks from the
mill.
]. Herdlick, principal owner OF
the mill, was at the plant half an
hour before the FIRE was discovered
at 1880. Everything was all right
then. The mill is operated by cleo
tricity, but the current had been
shut of by the main switch, obviat-
ing any danger from crossed wires.
When the mill fire was discovered
the chemical engine was already at
work on fire at the rear of the
saloons. Shavings and rubbish had
piled against the building by the
incendiary, who is believed to
have been one of the persons re-
sponsible for the mill fire. But for
delay in securing pipe the mill
company would have had a water
system completed that would have
saved the property. The single
machine can probable be used
again and the company will rebuild
at once. There was no insurance.

SHERIFF LIABLE FOR ORE TAKEN.

The United States circuit court Of
appeals, while sitting in Denver, de-
cided that Edward Bell, who MAS
sheriff Of Teller county In 1905
must pay George H. and John O.
Garter q, 700 with interest. for seiz-
ing twenty sacks of ore and an ingot
OF gold they had in their possession
and for throwing the Carriers into the
Cripple Greek Jail after sp;riting
them away from Denver In an auto
mobile.
The court also said that a sheriff
who arrested man and took proper
ty from him. must return it to him
regardless OF the claims Of others, If
the prisoner Is proved innocent. The
Mine Owners association was back
of Bell and will probably pay the
Judgment against him. The Carriers
were arrested in 1905 in Denver
thrown into the county Jail, where
their ore was kept with them, and
later released, the local county offici-
ais being unable to make case
aginst them for stealing ore as they
we're charged with doing.
When they left Jail Bell was
awaiting them at the door with two
automobiles. He hustled the Carriers
into one auto, the ore and ingot of
gold into another and sped toward
Little on, where train was taken to
Cripple Greek. The Carriers were
held in Jail there for two week, al
though the district court said they
should not be held
When they we're released, the Car
ters who were accused of being
''high-graders" demanded that they
be given their ore back. The ore had
been turned over to a asmpling works
on the alleged orders Of the Mine
Owners association. 1t could not be
found.
The Carriers then sued Bell in the
federal court and the jury gave them
a verdict for $3 700 aftor Judge Lewis
told them that all they were to de-
eide was the value Of the ore. He
did the rest and held that Bell had
unlafully converted the ore. The
court Of appeals affirmed this ruling.
The Carriers are now in Nevada.
