 And the reporter left him on his knees on First avenue busy examin- ing footprints with an enormous glass.
 Although Detective Pioneer would make no positive statement, he hint ed that he believed the writer of this letter was undoubtedly wo man and possibly the same one who caused disturbance in the theater Monday night.
 Just after the lights went out, an unknown woman screamed 'The Mysterious Eleven" and fell fainting in the aisle. The show house was crowded with people waiting to see Tom Meighan in the famous May flower production of "The Miracle Man" The audience stood up all over the house to see what had happened.
 Give her air." shouted one.
 Gall a doctor" said anotFer.
 Garry her out" urged third, and his advice was followed
 Several gentlemen assisted in car rying the lady outside where the fresh air quickly revived her. and she got away without her idcntity being discovered.
 The phrase "The Mysterious Eleven" aroused general curiosity ard many different suggestions were offered as to it's signi,icauc2 The local police department was baffed and would offer no statement other than that it might be either a band of notorious criminals or d new se- cret order of bootleggers.

 REPORTED TO
 BE AMONG US

Fragments of what appears to be threatening blackhand letter were picked up in front of local store this morning. A thorough investiga- tion was ordered and the matter turned over to Private Detective Pioneer, who spent the greater part of this day in an attempt to solve the baffling mystery.
 The note was so badly torn that most of it still remains unreadable. However, this much has been brought to light
 BEWARE! I, the Mysterious Eleven, am abroad. I am after your money He who does not be-(the rest of this word cannot be made out)-shall be- night of----. Signed, The Mysterious Eleven -
 Upon unravelling this much of the letter, a general alarm was spread among the business houses. where upUll tilc plOpl lSIOlS 5 HulL "Olh anu spent the rest of the day learning the combinations, oiling the hinges, and cleaning the rust off their safes.
 Both banks report they have wait ed upon a steady stream of people bringing their jewels, and other val uables to place in safe-keeping. The police force added several plain clothes men who were kept busy all day examining the bulging hip pockets of pedestrians. In most cases, however, they report that the bulges were nothing more exciting than loaded revolvers.
 When asked by q local reporter for a statement, Private Detective Pio- neer said:
