sault on the building.
Armed Men On Guard.
Sheriff Discoll rushed more depu-
ties to the hall. and soon hundred
men with sawedoff shotguns were on
guard. They attempted to keep
everybody from the building, as it
was reported the structure was about
to be dynamited.
! This report was we'll founded, for
shortly after the place was cleared
explosives were set off under union
headquarters. The defamation could
be heard for blocks, but did little
damage to the building.
AS the miners were driven back by
the incessant firing of the deputies,
they scattered throughout the city,
shouting for dynamite. Several arm
ed men went to the Stewart mine
and carried toward the Union Hall
several boxes of explosive. They
were prevented from approaching
the building by the deputy sheriffs.
Sheriff Driscoli, as soon as vio-
lence started, ordered all available
assistance to the scene. As soon as
the attackers were forced down the
street from the hall by the fusillade,
the sheriff stepped forward. and
shouted to the crowd that he wanted
500 deputies. No one responded to
the appeal, and the sheriff began to
"a .spOse of his men the best he could.
Mayor Duncan wired to Governor
Stewart at Helena. The mayor told
the Governor later that the city was
under control, but this message
scarcely had been sent before dyna-
mite was set off under the union
hea dauarters.
Many ihsufgent miners went to the
tops of nearby buildings directly af-
ter they were first repulsed and open
ed fire on the deputies in Miners
Hall. The officers retreated for a
time to the inner rooms of the build
ing, then sailed to a window, fired
on the besiegers and retired.
This warfare in the, darkness be-
tween housetops and windows did not
last long, the miners scattering to
obtain dynamite.
More Mines Exploded.

Butte, Mont, June 23.-Viclence
broke out anew tonight in the strug.
gle between factions of the Butte
miners union, and three men were
shot, one being killed, by a fusillade
fired by deputy sheriffs in clearing
union hall.
An attempt had been made to dy-
Mantle the miners hall, but the
charge failed to do any great amount
of damage. This explosion could be
heard for blocks.
Armed men proceeded to the Stew
art. mine and boldly carried down
boxes Of dynamite in the attempt to
blow up the hall, but the guns of
deputies prevented effective, placing
Of the charge.
Chas. II. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
other officers of the union, who were
to address a peace meeting in the
hall, fed through the rear door of
the auditorium when the shooting be-
gan. They are said to have left the
city for fear of attack by seceders
from the miners, who several days
ago revolted against special assess
ments for the Michigan copper mine
strikers and the use of the card sys-
tenn.
Many armed deputies were at the
hall to preserve order at meeting
called to outline plans for settling
differences between the factions of
the local union. Many seceders, who
have planned to organize a new un-
ion under the auspices of the Indus
trial Workers of the World, were n
and around the hall.
Insurgents storm Hall.
!. The insurgents. started to storm the
hall. Sheriff Driscolrs deputies were
stationed there, and several shots
were fired in the air to drive the be-
siegers back. The impetus of the
rush was so great that the crowd
came on in spite of the warning
shots.
More shots were fired, and Ernest

toll l spent at first on the jenkins
case. They were weeks of searching
and researching without finding any
thing. Nothing Interesting happened
in that time. But in the end, after
the weariest sort Of digging. | finally
unearthed the salient fact that all OF
the coal men who had been the means
of attracting the fatal Jenkins 10 their
towns had advertised their business
for sale in the same coal trade pub
lication.
This publication was a small week
" issued at Philadelphia. 1t went
only to retail coal dealers. 1t was
not for sale on newsstands. nor was it
TO be found in any library in the eoun-
try. 1t had 1888 subscribers, ana
these were about the only people in
the country Who knew that such a
publication existed. Reasoning the
thing out II seemed possible to sup
pose that jenkins for years had been
a constant reader of this paper.
The case for this theory summed
up thus:
Six certain men had published in
this paper ads offering for sale coal
business, which jenkins had answered.
These particular ads had appeared
in a space covering six years.
In three cases at least he had as
serted that he had seen the advertise
ment in this publication.
He was so familiar with all the up
to-date news of the trade that he could
hardly have obtained it any other way
than reading closely the gossip of a
trade paper.
Against this OF course was the pos
sibility that jenkins had merely hit
upon these particular coal yards by
accident. At all events, this was the
only clue that / had to work on.
In Philadelphia | found the publish
! er of the coal paper to be grabbed
old fellow who would have nothing to
/ do with me at first. l looked around
Putnam patriot., 1914-03-13
Cummhos- Jenkins looked around wildly

and found that he was head-over-heels
in debt and that his bank held two
notes against him which they were
threatening to call in, which action
would have put the old fellow out OF
business. The president OF the bank,
on E.y request, wrote little note, and
unon its presentation the publisher
was glad to turn over for my inspec-
tion all his records. Together with
the handwriting expert / set to work
on all the letters that the old man had
in the Office.
Fortunately the old fellow was OF a
suspicious habit Of mind. Whenever
anyone sent in an order for sub
scription he not only placed the order
on his books. but he filed away the
original letter, to produce II the sub
scriber denied payment. He had over
$500 of these letters, and our task
was to look at each one and compare
the signatures with the various dis
gllised hand-writings Of jenkins. For
I had decided that about the only way
of getting a line on our man lay In
the possibility that he was subscrib-
er to the coal trade paper, and that
ne had written a signed letter to the
EDITOR.
AS the expert was looking over the
l.30Oth letter he jumped up with a
shout
Here's our mani" he cried, and
threw over to me a letter signed "A.
]. Cummings, Neria, Ohio"
To the layman this signature was
totally different from any OF those we
had found left by jenkins, but the ex-
pert quickly proved that it was from
the same hand.
The letter was written on Cum
mings' letter-head-he was in the coal
and wood business In Neria-and was
for a five years subscription to the
paper. Trains didn't run fast enough
to suit me after that. ! raced up to

Office Of sanitarium and the physi-
clan in charge is noted as great au-

Soon after the first production of
the play Belasco was showing friend
all the scenic effects OF the pro-

This was the story that gathered
thread by thread when | investigated
the trouble in Medallion.
To trace Jenkins l had specimens of
his handwriting, excellent descrip-
tons Of him. and the knowledge that
he was an expert in the coal business.
Beyond that-nothing. He had come
to Medillion, stayed a little, and fit
ted away from s4.435 of the bankers
money. He had left no trail to fol-
low. He was thorough. going "kiter."
Back in New York l found that Jen-I
kins had been depositor of the Twen-i
ty-fifth Street Bank for only short
time. Nothing was known of him
there. He had left no trace. So far
as any trail was concerned the exist
ence Of jenkins began with his APP
pearance at this bank and ended with
his disappearance from Medallion.
None OF the clumsy little tracks lett
by the crude criminal were to be
found in this case. He had Just come,
had got the money, and had gone. He
was an artist
'Well,' said Chief Burns, 1T looks
as if new 'kiter' had begun work
among the banks in dead earnest. But
I've seen work that resembles this be-
fore"
We hunted through our records,
and sure enough, the same methods
that had worked in Medallion had
been used in Michigan about year
before. A coal man had advertised
his business for sale, a prospective
purchaser had appeared, had estab-
lished his credit. had eashed drafts
through introduetions to the local
banks, and had fitted, no one knew
whsre. And no one had discovered.
Going back still further We found
that about a year before another case
of the same sort rad been reported
from Iowa This was before the Burns
agency began to handle the Bankers
Putnam patriot., 1914-03-13

Protective associations business. We
hunted through all the records we
could find, and as near as we could
judge, about once every twelve months
a man appeared in some small town
as Jenkins had appeared in Medallion,
and put over about the same kind of
a job The man never had been APP
pretended or even located. Upon in
vestigating these old cases we found
that the 4kiter" always used diff
ferent name, that he was sometimes
shaved, sometimes bearded, some
times splurgily dressed, and some
times quietly-but always he was a
coal man of forceful character and
apparent success. 1t was obvious that
he and our "Mr. jenkins" were one
and the same man.
A hurried fitting around the coun-
try placed in my possession the vari-
Gus specimens of handwriting that
had been left by the "kiter" At first
| was amazed and disappointed to dis
cover that they were all apparently
the work of different men; but a few
days work on the part of our hand
writing expert demonstrated that one
man had written them all, but that he
had so skilfully disguised his hand on
each occasion as to make each speci-
men entirely different in appearance
from the others. My respect for my
quarry grew immensely at this reyela-
ton. The man was absolutely the
cleverest forger | ever had heard of.
Now | knew that the jenkins who
had fooled the banks in Medillion was
he had worked at it for at least six
years. and that he seemed to do only
one job a year And still was as far
away from any apparent clew as when
| started on the case. Somewhere
in America this forceful, clever fel-
low was living on the proceeds of his
crime. But what task to look for
hint For this Jenkins was not OF
the criminal type. He would not be
found by hunting among crooks. He
might be anywhere and in almost any
plane OF society.
The only physical proof that I had
of the existence OF jenkins was his
yariously disguised hand writing. This
was the only trace that he had left OF
his presence. But this was enough, as
II proved.
