level of the Eagles, noticed Boston
and Melleneck, who were strangers,
standing in one of the drifts and be-
licving the men to be ore thieves, or
dered them to throw up their hands.
This command was not obeyed and
the exchange of shots followed, but
the lessees were unable to make a
capture.

telephone and, responding quickly to
the call, was, with his deputy, lowered
under ground and took the two men
into custody without firing shot
Boston and Melleneck entered the
