BIG GANG OF CAR
THIEVES ARRESTED.
Police Gather in "a Men and Boys
Accused of systematically Robbing
Grand Trunk.

One Of the biggest round-ups In the
recent history Of the police depart
ment took place. Thursday morning.
when Detectives Brooks and Seymour,
assisted by Special Oficers Foley and
Halloran, swooped down upon gang
OF freight-car thieves and gathered In
20 men and boys. Two men were ar
rested Wednesday night by the same
officers and II was through these that
the police were tipped on TO the op-
erations and habits of the gang.
The Grand Trunk has suffered heav-
lily through the depredations Of this
gang. They were q rough-looking lot
brought into police headquarters.
Thursday. Most of them had no
definite place of residence and they
hail from all sections OF the country.
The detectives say they have been
hanging along the tracks all the way
from Milwaukee Junction to the river
front. They live on what fruit and
other edibles they can gather from
the freight cars.
They have been using boys for the
purpose Of breaking open the cars.
After the cars have been broken
open, they enter and az a usual thing
a number of them ride down from
the junction. As they ride along. they
throw merchandise from the cars and
1t 10 picked up by their pals who are
watching along the way.
Six of the prisoners are OF such a
tender age that they were turned over
to Lieut. Breault, of the Juvenile de-
partment. Warrants will be asked for
the other 81.
The swimming hole at the foot OF
Rivard-st., has been favorite rem
devious for the gang and 1t was there
that Detectives Brooks and Seymour
surprised most of them. Others were
picked up In transit.
Every one Of the gang will be
charged with breaking and entering.
Some of them were wearing merchan-
disc stolen from the cars, but they
had been careful enough to remove
trademarks and other signs that
could be used for Identification.

E. d. Young's dog and Mrs. j. Per-

photograph gallery at the same time,
an occurrence OF some moment for
the child and of decided Importance
for the dog Mr.. Young had the dog
in Judge Phelan's court, Thursday
morning. Mrs. Pergament had her
child there, too. She said the animal
nipped her baby without any provoca-
ton, while they were in the photo
graph gallery.
The Judge ventured the suggestion
that perhaps the dog was unduly ex-
cited at the thought OF being photo
graphed. He advised that the case
be adjourned a week to see II there
were any serious consequences as q
result of the dogs surliness.
These accidents are quite COM

Death Claims Two Men.

The old saying that accidents never
come singly and more often in triplicate
was borne out this week when two
men lost their lives in the Newhouse
tunnel at an early hour Wednesday
morning, following closely upon the
heels of the double calamity on Fall
river which occurred Friday of last
week, an account of which appeared
in these columns.
From the best information obtainable
Thos. Stolzmark and Dan Reagen went
into the heading of the Newhouse to
muck out the debris from the last
shots. The air being bad they gifted
their labor early and with their mule
started for the portal and fresh air.
En- route they encountered VIM Gala
gan and Swan Smith, employed on the
Dyke mine, and the two cars were
motive power.
At point where the tunnel inter
sects the Morning Star lode, a cavern
of timbers was encountered, the mule
stumbling onto the obstruction in the
darkness and the animal was instantly
killed by coming in contact with the live
trolley which had besn brought to the
floor by the falling timber. Reagen
and Stolzmark were riding on the for
ward car and the impact threw them
from thir seats. The live wire struck
Reagen in the back of the neck and
Stolzmark, in falling, struck the wire
with his lower limbs, both being cleo
troolted Gallagan and Smith, on TIE
second ear, were effected and brought
the news to the portal.
The bodies were removed to the
parlors of Pierce & Cocks and the
Coroner of Gilpin county notified as
the accident occurred just inside Of the
Gilpin county line.
Thos. Stolzmark has no relatives in
this country, his nearest relatives be-
ing in Norway. He was about 30 years
of age Reagen was about 80 years
of age and has relatives at Iced,
South Dakota to which point his body
has been shipped for burial.

Base Ball.

Talk about base BALI The locals were
in the lime-light from the first ball un-
til the 11th inning when with score of
nothing to nothing, the local battery
fell down, and assisted by poor field
work lost the game to the d. A. C.
1t was the best game ever seen on the
local grounds. A muffed fly in left
field and high missed chance in center
lost the game Mitchell, in the box for
the locals, was invincible for ten in
nings but weekend in the eleventh and
was caught for six straight hits which
proved costly.
The game tomorrow will be against
the Bankers team Of Denver who have
the pick of the city flock, but We'll
trim them in the same old way.

Commercial Association DOings

In pursuance of call issued by the
President of the Idaho Springs Com.
mercial Association the Board of
Trustees met at the office of city
clerk on Tuesday evening. There
were present. A. R. Comstock, Presi-
dent; John H. Edwards, Vice-presi
dent: James Underhill, Secretary; c..
l. Spessard. Treasurer; NJ H. brown,
E, P. Swanson, w. L. Shaffer, George
X. Kimball and John T. Mallalieu.
Among the matters considered was the
erecting of design, made out of ores
from the various mines, in a conspicu-
Gus place near the depot where it will
be seen by people passing through on
trains. 1t is possible that an arch
spanning the sidewalk near the de pot
will be decided upon. 1t was also de-
cided to keep card list OF persons
seeking employment in the mines and
elsewhere and also of mine operators
who wanted to secure miners. w. l..
Shaffer agreed to take charge of the
card case so that persons wishing to
register their application for work can
do so at his office.
The Finance committee was request
ed to prepare a card for application of
membership and issue membership
ticket to persons who joined the asso-
citation. and also to make provisions
for raising funds for the maintenance
of the Association. The question of
getting up literrture was also dis
sussed and the committee on Publicity
was directed to proceed at once to get
up folder setting forth the merits of
the camp in as concise a manner as
possible. The meeting throughout
was one of enthusiasm and shows that
the Board of Trustees are laying the
foundation for successful year in
this work. The creation of the en-
ployment bureau will in itself prove a
great benefit as it will bring those
seeking employment and those seek
ing workmen into close relationship.
1t is the intention of the Board to have
another public mining rally in the near
future in which our own people will
be the principal speakers. 1t is the
intention to have a series of such
meetings during the winter and in
this manner to make the Association
more effective.

Miner Found Dead.

The lifeless body of Bert Kaser, a
miner, was found near the Washington
mine on Fall river Sunday night about
$3.50, and from all indications death had
occurred some time before as the body
was rigid and cold. Kaser had been in
town on the previous evening buying
supplies and visiting with his nmerous
friends and was apparently in the best
of health His whereabouts from the
time he left town until the time his
body was found is not known, as he
went to the mine unaccompanied so far
as can be ascertained.,
When found the body lay prostrate
fBce downward across a bowlder, and
it is the universal opinion that death
was caused from heart failure.
The deceased was a well-known
miner in TINS district. having worked in
various properties for some time. He
was born in Ohio and was 80 years of
age and unmarried.
The remains were taken to Denver
Tuesday and on the following day
deposited in Fairmount cemetery un-
der the auspices of the Eagles lodge.
