FIGHTS BLACK HAND
NEW YORK MILLIONAIRE TRIES TO CAPTURE BLACkMAilERS.
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS DEMANDED
Armed Guards Chase Two, but Third Man Puts Them to
 Rout.

Pittsfield, Mass.-William Pollock, a New York millionaire, residing at 1S2 Madison avenue, prominent as a horse show enthusiast, Sun day [ planned to ambush on his country estate here, Black Hand lead. CTS who had threatened to kill him If he did not submit to blackmail.
 A thrilling fight with repeating rifles resulted. Posses are searching the woods near the Pollock home in search of the gang.
 Armed guards are patroling the es- tate to prevent the carrying out of a threat to dynamite the residence
 Mir Pollock received a letter signed by the Black Hand when he arrived In Pittsfield three weeks ago, to spend the summer. He ignored the matter. second letter was received last Fri day The writer demanded 5000. In the event of refusal, the letter said:
 You will be dead man and the Black Hand will blow up your home and other buildings. We'll get you, and soon"
 $5,ooo Is Demanded.
 The letter directed MT. Pollock to place 8 900 in cash under an oak tree on his property, and about a quarter of mile from his residence. He was instructed to have the money on hand Sunday and place it under the oak tree himself.
 MT. Pollock summoned his employees and armed each with repeating rife. He directed five of the men to conceal themselves in a; thicket near the oak. and a sixth to walk through the open fields, carrying package, and bury 1t under the tree.
 He originally. planned to accompany the man, but ath last moment decided to watch proceedings through field glass The posse had waited several hours. when at p. m.. two men were observed to creep out of the woods and Sadvance qward the oak. They were permitted 10 proceed without mo | lestation, and were busily engaged in digging up the package when the posse broke from cover and rushed upon them
 Guards Open Fire.
 The two meh bolted through the open field. MT Pollock's guards shout ed to the men to halt, and when the order was disobeyed, opened fire. The guards were in full pursuit and this spoiled their aim. Bullets kicked up the dust around the fugitives, but the latter continued their flight
 They were approaching the woods when third man appeared, who had been stationed by Black Hand leaders to cover retreat in case of pursuit. The man waited until the guards were at close fange. when he clapped rife to his shoulder and shouted:
 "Ill kill the first one who reaches the fence.'
 His determined manner and steady rife awed Mir Pollock's men They drew up quickly The man backed slowly into the woods, covering the covering guards as he retreated. The guards made no effort to follow him or the men who had gone before

e0t >WNNSV mere are SOME innings
W. about this country to-day
cd with which even a good
natured person can find fault. But
cursory contrast of the condition of
the country as it was then and as it
is now shows vast general improve
ment.
To begin with, Thanksgiving day,
1865, found the country as yet prac-
tically unaddressed to the problem of
getting over the frightful struggle
that had rent and torn and well-nigh
disrupted it. Not only were the
wounds of sectional ill-feeling still
open and unhealed, but most of the in
dustries of one great section were still
practically prostrated.
The readjustment of the country's
business, difficult always after a great
war, but doubly so after the civil war,
because of the enormous imitation to
which the currency had been subject
ed, was yet to be undertaken.
Most important agencies in the new
and stronger union which has come to
the United States since 1865 have been
furnished by the tremendously i'm
proved means of communication and
transportation. Most folk accept it to-
day as a matter of course. To the
younger generation it seems like an in
stitution that has always existed, with
out which, no matter how much fault
may be found with its rates, the bust
ness of the country could not well go
on. But while there We're about so, 900
miles of railroad in 1865, there are
more than four times that many to-
day, or about 215,000, more than seven
miles for every 100 square miles of
territory.
Then, as the old heads remember
very well, there was no steel highway
linking. the coast of the Atlantic with
the coast of the Pacific. Then there
were three ways by which one wish
ing to travel from New York or Bos-
ton or Washington, to San Francisco
or Portland, could do so: Overland by
a combination of rail to the Missis-
sippi, and stage coach and horseback
westward from the river, a journey re-
quiring many days; by steamer or
sailing ship around the Horn, a voy-
age of months; or by steamer to the
Isthmus of Panama (they called it
Darien, them across on the Panama
railroad, and thence by steamer again
up the coast to San Francisco.
1t cost several hundred dollars to
get from one side of the country to
the other, then. Now, at the lowest
rate, you may travel from one ocean
to the other for $50; the highest rate,
unless you wish to go ON a private or
special cara veritable palace on
wheels-is $11575. This includes sep
ing car. birth and meals.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-11-21

Since 1865 the general material do
velopment of the country has been
such as to transcend all ordinary hui
man understanding
Vast new mining fields have been
opened, whole areas of coal deposits,
many of them entirely unsupported,
have been found and developed since
1865. The enormously valuable depos-
its of copper in Montana have all been
discovered and developed since 1865.
Michigan's, though known before then,
have also been mainly developed in
side of 40 years. So have the great
iron deposits of Michigan, the zinc
deposits of Missouri and countless beds
of mineral wealth of all sorts in the
south and in the almost boundless
trans-Mississippi regions.
Secretary Seward knew that there
was almost fabulous treasure under
the surface of what was called Rus
sian America when he bought it from
the czar's government, but the gold
and silver and other mineral wealth
of Alaska has practically all been
found and developed within the last
ten years. In 40 years the addition
from mineral sources alone to the
wealth of the country has amounted
to billions on the back of billions.
Petroleum was discovered before
1865, and the development of territory
which yielded it was begun 40 years
ago, but by far the greater part of that
development has been accomplished
since then.
Along with all these things the
area of cultivated land has been in
creased so that the wheat and corn
and cotton and other crops of the pres
ent are enormously vaster than they
were in 1865. Manufactures of all
sorts have increased enormously also,
the total for 1865 being worth rather
more than two billions of dollars; this
year the total value of our manufac-
lures will not be far from fifteen bill
lions of dollars, roughly estimating the
figures from the census of 1900
Stimulated by the extension and de-
velopment of the railroads, and in
turn stimulating their development, init
mately interlocked and interdependent
with the growth of mining, agriculture
and manufacturing. there has been an
unbelievable growth of cities and
towns.
And, as Uncle Sam, after a right
good dinner of turkey and pumpkin
pie and other standard Yankee viands,
contemplates the tremendous advance
his settlements have made he may
also dwell in thought upon the fact
that the total of the countrys popula-
hac q
in 1865, to more than s0,OOO,OOO in
1908.
Now these material good things are
all well worth being grateful for; no
other people on the green earth have
so many rcsecas OF the sort for THANH
fulness as the Americans.
