The death of a cat has caused a
dispute between John II. Hamilton.

dead cat, one claiming 1t was the SID

Man BEATEN AND
ROBBED BY THUGS
Chas. Chapman, of Flint, Tells Po-
lice Lurid Tale and Two
Arrests Follow.

Charged with robbery, Robert Bert
ram, OF No. 212 First-st., who recently
figured as the victim In a sensational
chloroform robbery In his home, was
arrested at 3 o'clock Wednesday morn
Ing by Detectives Steinhebel and Sulli-
van. Emmett Clark, alias Hurd, Bert
rams alleged pal In the robbery, and
who Is also charged with horse steal
ing, was dragged from his bed. at No.
20 Leverette-st., and is In custody.
The deal on which Bertram and
Clark we're arrested Is one of the most
brazen that the local police have had
to deal with In some time.
Charles Chapman and Lemon
Adams, OF Flint. came to Detroit TO
buy horse. on May 81, according to
the warrants sworn out Tuesday. Near
the horse market at Fourteenth and
Grand River-ayes. they met Bertram
and Clark, and Chapman purchased
horse from them for SIC. Then, IT Is
alleged, Bertram and Clark told Chap
man that II he would get into their
rig they would drive him to a place
where he could buy a buggy and
harness at a correspon6ingly low
price. He went with them, leaving his
newly-purchased horse In charge OF
Adams. Chapman says he does not
know where they went, but they drove
n long distance, and finally came to
some commons, where his two
friends" pulled him out OF the buggy
and pounded him Justify and took Slo
away from him, leaving him lying on
the ground with bloody nose and in
a dazed condition. A citizen hap
pened along later. and helped him to
wipe OF the blood and showed him
the way to the street car. Meanwhile,
it is alleged, Bertram and Clark went
back to the place where Adams was
patiently holding the horse. which
they got away from him, stating that
they were going to take 1t out TO
Chapman.
Bertram, who Is So years old. Is the
professional horse dealer who recently
reported to the police that he was at
tackled by his wife. daughter and the
daughters lover. and badly beaten in
his home. and that his wife chloro.
formed him while the others held him
down. When he recovered. he said.
the trio had departed with $500 OF mis-
money.
Bertram and Clark were arraigned
before Justice Jeffries at noon, We'd
nesday. and both pleaded not guilty.
The hearings were set for June A.
Bertram's bail being fixed at $1,000
In the robbery case, while Clark's bail
was made 81. 900 In the robbery case.
and $500 In the horse stealing case.

BAY CITY, Mich, June 2.-(Spe-
cial. ROLAND Rich's police court ex-
animation on the charge of numbering
his grandmother. Mrs. Christine Cor
yeon. was resumed. Tuesday after
noon. Owing to the great crowd OK
spectators that filed Judge kelleys
court in the morning. court convened
in the council chamber In the AFTER
noon, but this, too. was Jammed.
Young Rich sat with his eyes hxed on
one spot during the examination ana
appeared to be rather dazed.
Mrs. Theresa Tierney, daughter Oh
Mrs. Coryeon, and DR.. Virgil Tupper
were the only witnesses examined
during the afternoon. Their testi-
mony was substantially repetition OF
published statements. DR.. RIPPER
however, was even more positive than
at the inquest as to the improbabaiity
of Mrs. Coryeon having received her
death wounds in a fall.
1t was possible. he said, that the
wounds could have been caused by
Mrs. Coryeon's head coming In con-
tact with any of several articles IN the
room. but he qualified this statement
by saying that mere fall would not
be sufficient. II she had plunged or
dived she might have received the In
juries revealed by the post-mortem.
but such a theory was not probable
I'm his opinion. DR.. Upper. 1t trans
pires, has in his possession two Sec
tons OF Mrs. Coryeon's skull and VIII
test them as to brittleness.
Mrs. Tierney recounted her call at
the home Just after the tragedy. when
she found her mother~iyfng In pool
Of blood in one of the bedrooms and
no one else In the house except Ro-
land Rich. She broke down and wept
while giving her testimony. Her con-
versation with Mrs. Coryeon relative
TO Roland's wedding, already reported
in The Times, was reverted to. but
Mrs. Tierney was not permitted to re-
late the conversation.
The police are still searching FOR
the shirt Roland Rich wore when he
first entered his grandmother's home
the morning of the tragedy. When ne
rushed back to his own home, after
the tragedy. he was in his undershirt
and trousers.
The will OF Mrs. Coryeon. which be-
oueathes an estate valued at nearly
$50, 900 to her five grandsons, OF whom

MINING NEWS

Dan Sherry was down from Yelling
ton this week, where he is engaged in
mining on the Mexican Girl, one of his
claims adjoining the Yankee Girl on
Taylor Hill, from which 1attering re-
turns are given as development work
progresses.
Mr.. Sherry, in company with Lige
Beaman and Ike Miller, have a lease
and bond for one year on the Yankee
Girl. On the 30-foot level they have de-
veloped a ledge of gold-bearing rock
tat yields 500 to the ton
While on the 65-foot level good
sized ledge is being worked that assays
over 500 in the yellow metal. Speci-
mems from this latest find were shown
in this Office and it is safe to say that it
would not take many tons to put the
owners in the class of Rockefeller.
Just as soon as weather conditions per-
nit run of this ore will be made at
Nordyke OF the Davidson mills.
