with this club, having been introduced into it by a man named Jack Hand, a sailor Nolins instructions, sent to him in Richmond, were to go to Washing ton, get John Walsh, and go with him to Philadelphia, where, at the Phila- delphia & Reading railroad station, at p. m. on Saturday, April IA, they would meet a third man who would give them further instructions. Nolin cbeyed the summons promptly and hastened to Washington from where, accompanied by Walsh, he went to Philadelphia as instructed. As they stood in the station at the appointed time a well-dressed, stout man came up and accosted them. Their replies being satisfactory the stranger said: q am the man you want to see," and engaged them in earnest conversation.
 At the conclusion of their talk the stout man handed $100 to Nolin, with two railroad tickets and sleeping car coupons from Philadelphia to Buffalo, over the Lehigh Valley railroad. He then left them and Nolin and Walsh took the Lehigh Valley train for Buff falo. They arrived in the latter city at noon on April 15, went direct to the Stafford house and registered as John Smith of New York and Thomas Moore of Washington. They were as signed to room SS, and immediately ordered up drinks. While waiting for the refreshments there was a knock at the door, and Dallman stepped into the apartment. He introduced himself and a satisfactory understanding was reached between the trio Dallman told them to prepare for an early start next day, and after breakfast on the follow ing morning, April 16, he gave to No lin and Walsh two canvas grips, or telescopes.
 In each of these grips were about so pounds of dynamite, mixed to the consistency of stiff dough. Fuses were with each cake, lying on top, but unattached It was shortly after this that the near-catastrophe occurred
 Karl Dallman, the arch plotter in the conspiracy, turned out to be an even more picturesque character than Murray had suspected before com mencing his investigations. For, fol- lowing up one clue after the other, the detective became aware that the so- called Dallman of Trenton, New Jer- sey, was none other than Luke Dillon of Philadelphia, who had figured prominently in the world-famous Gro min case. Billion was a member of the executive committee of the Clau-na-

whither the trail led. The results of | his persistent quest were as follows | In the year 1894 three young men set sail for America. They were John Nolin, young machinist, John Row an, a mechanic, and John Merna, a mechanic. They arrived in New York and on May IF, 1894, Merna declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States, took out his first papers and gave his residence as No. fl Peck slip, New York. Nolin went to Philadelphia,
 The four Johns, after spending a few days in Philadelphia, went to New York. They stopped at the lodging | house of John M Kerr, 45 Peck slip, and hung about New York until De- cember, 1899, when Rowan returned to Ireland, and went to work at his trade in Dublin. Nolin and Walsh ap- piled to the South Brooklyn branch of the Amalgamated Society of Machin- ists for donation money, which amounts to $3 per week for those out of work, and the request was compiled with by John A. Shearman, secretary of the society, who worked in the Pioneer Machine works in Brooklyn. In the latter part of this month Nolin, Walsh and Merna went to Washing ton, D. c. Nolin remained there a short time and then went on to Rich mond, Va, where he obtained a job as filter in a foundry.
 On Christmas day, 1899, Merna went to work as bartender in a Wash ington saloon, at PIP Ninth street, of which Joseph McEnerney was pro- prietor, and on January l Walsh was given a similar position in the same saloon. They relieved each other at the bar and shared room together over the saloon. They worked as bar tenders for McEnerney through Janu- ary and February and along into March, while Nolin stayed on in the Richmond foundry. Early in March Kari Dallman had registered at the Stafford house, in Buffalo, and had then gone away.
 On Monday evening, March 12, Mer- na was found dead in his room over the saloCl.
 Somewhere about April 10, 1900, Nolin received a communication from
 lodge to which he belonged, known in secret circles as the Napper Tandy club. It was a Clan-na-Gael organi- zation and the members met at Tom Moore's hall, corner of Third avenue and Sixteenth street, in New York. Nolin and Walsh were both affiliated

Gael, and defended that organization and publicly championed it, achieving more than national notoriety when, in his official capacity, he went to Chica- go at the time of the murder of Dr. Cronin. At that time he denounced Alexander Sullivan, raised funds for the prosecution of those accused of Cronin's murder; advocated the throw ing off of the oath of secrecy, so far as necessary to run down the assas- sins, went on the witness stand, and by his testimony revealed the secret of the Triangle, the chief three who had ruled as the executive of the Clan na-Gael; made public the charges against Sullivan and fought through out on the side of the anti-Sullivan wing. The identification was made absolute and final. Men who knew Luke Dillon, who had worked day by day near him, visited Karl Dallman and identified him positively as the former high official of the Clan-na Gael.
 But above all Murray's careful, un- erring tracing of the chief suspects career convinced the Canadian gov ernment that Dallman and Dillon were one. Originally Dillon was a shoema- ker. In 1881 he was working at his trade at 639 Paul street. Philadelphia.
 The members of the dynamite trio were brought up for trial on May 25, 1900. With the mass of damning evi- dence accumulated by Murrays pa tient efforts and submitted to the court, there could be but one result. As the clock struck six on the even ing of May 26, the jury retired to con- sider the verdict Four minutes later they re-entered court and the three prisoners were declared guilty. The dynamiters were sentenced to impris- onment for life and taken to Kingston penitentiary.
 For two years after the trio entered upon their prison life the general pub lie knew nothing of the identity of Karl Dallman. Then a Buffalo paper made known the fact, telling of his connection with the Cronin affair. The story was denied by some of Dillon's friends, who asserted that he had been killed during the South African war while fighting with the Boer ar my against the British. But the real, grim truth sis that the once famous leader of fAsA Clan na-Gael is buried alive within the walls of Kingston pen. itentiary.

KINGSTON CANYON GRAVEL
RICH in GOLD NUGGETS

Austin, New, May 20.-The country
tributary to Austin seems destined to
make Nevada famous as a placer. Up
Reese river there is lone with the Gold
field magnates at the helm. The lone
story will be told later. 1t will rival
Manhattan. However, this week there is
a new placer story to tell. The gravel
in Kingston canyon is lousy with mug
gets and gold dust.
Robert Laird and Jack Irvine had
long believed that Kingston canyon
was full of gold. Irvine made an effort
ten years age to prove his idea. He
went broke in the attempt, but found
enough colors to make him certain that
some day he would find the real stuff
in the gravel of the old gulch.
Within the last week his dreams
came true. He found the pay in the
gravel of Kingston gulch. With his
friends, who were numerous enough
he has staked all the available ground,
This was not a vast acreage, for the
Millers of the Bank of Austin had a
great deal of the gulch under patent
In fact the enrichment of the gravel
comes undoubtedly from the erosion OF
the lodges that have made the Kings
ton mines the talk of the country fol-
the past thirty years.
Big Smoky creek runs down thu
Kingston gulch. 1t carries over 5o'
inches of water in the dryest seasoI
and if the placers prove to be all tina
preliminary showings indicate, thu
operations will be easy and economical
Bed rock cuts are now being run an
the real importance of the new dig
gings will soon be known.

for this equipment several weeks ago,
but, awaiting an examination of the
camp by the men most heartily inter
