STORY DENIED BY
WARDEN DAWSON
Ridicules the Idea Of Counterfeiting
Within the Walls of the State
Prison

Wheeling, June 10-Warden c. G.
Dawson, Of the state penitentiary. de-
niei in emphatic terms the story that
appeared in Moundsville paper to
the effect that spurious coin was be-
Ing manufactured by convicts of that
| institution.
Warden Dawson said: IF any such
coin Is being manufactured in the in
stitution, neither myself OF guards
anything about It. II is true that a
few days ago a convict handed naa a
counterfeit twenty-five cent piece
which he said he won in game Of
craps. ] asked him Ghom he received
it from, and he informed me that he
did not know, as there were several
in the game. Myself and guards made
thorough investigation, but were un-
able to learn which convict put this
particular coin in the pot and have
found absolutely no evidence of any
such coin being made In the institu-
ton.
The warden's story is at variance
with information furnished by young
man of responsible character, who has
access to the institution daily and
who should be in close touch with
what transpires therein The young
man stated that the dies and other
paraphernalia used by the convicts in
making the spurious coins had been
found by the guards. He said that
electricity was made use of by the
convicts in their work, and that the
current had been obtained by tapping
the electric wires He has counter
felt quarter in his possession which
he says he obtained from a convict
Even if the convicts have had lit
tie mint of their own in operation,
there is no evidence that the coin has
been manufactured on large scale or
that any attempt has been made by
the convicts to make purchases with
It. Neither is there any evidence that
the counterfeiters had confederates on
the outside to handle their product. II
such coin has been manufactured at
the institution, its purpose was prob
ably for use in crap games. The con-
victs will shoot craps whenever the
opportunity presents itself and to
make the game interesting there must
be real money, or it's nearest equiva-
lent in the pot

A Washington artist was showing a
visitor through his rooms one day,
pointing out the various objects of
peculiar interest, when the caller
stopped before an antique clock,
which, just at that moment, had struck
the half-hour.
DO you know asked the visitor,
I've often wondered what was the
use of clock that strikes every half

"Wel,' said the artist, after a slight
pause of reflection, ''it has this advan-

ticular. She reads musical reviews
from every part of the world where
music is power, in addition to maya
zines devoted to public questions and
the best current literature.
Foreign travel after reading and mu-

most entertainingly of her recent So

of relating the incidents and adven-
lures of the journey across the Pacific,
through the Philippines, China and
Japan, thence across the Siberian rail-
road to St Petersburg.

Big Irrigation Contract Let.

Slick Brothers the well known

with c. II. Hammett, the principal
owner Of the King Hill irrigation &
Power company, for the building of
the main bitches and laterals TO fur
nish the water for the company's
lands on The Snake river between
Gienn's Ferry and King hill and this
morning the contractors shipped a
large force of men to Bliss to begin
work on the project, which will re-
claim 10000 acres of land, saws the
Boise Capital News
contract was closed last winter
whereby c. Ii. Hammett purchased the
Glenns Ferry company's interests in
the project, and after some difficult
~ with the state land board, succeed
ed in getting a maximum water rate
OF $65 per acre upon the land. with
the exception OF about 900 acres OF
school land. which will be sold. for
$40 per acre.
The water is to be taken from the
Malad river, some three miles above
where the river flows into the Snake
river. A large ferry is being built for
the purpose OF conveying the equlp-
ment across Snake river, after the
work on the other side is completed.
and 1t Is probable after the work is
completed, petition will be made to
the county commissioners for the es-
adjustment of a permanent ferry at
this point.

for bitterness Of its invective and the
fury OF its utterance has had no
equals within the dignified walls of

aside his five pronged fork.
Davis admitted that there were
some honest newspapers in the coun-
try, but declared that those journals
that criticized his remarks last De-
cember were subsidized by the trusts.
Swinging his long arms wildly above
his head. and raising his voice almost
to a scream, he defled the correspon-
dents in the press gallery to do their
forst.
Turning to his colleagues about him
he solemnly warned them that in the
country they were regarded as the
defenders Of predatory wealth and he
urged them to purge themselves of
the odum Of this opinion by doing
something for the people"
He declared that the trusts influ-
enced the senate in an indirect man.

very center of the territory where
their products are consumed.
