was enough for him and he broke for a
door, only to be brought down by the
Indiana cleanup mans" second shot,
which took him in the calf of the leg.
BY this time two of the three whites
had escaped the three negroes and the
remaining white man had been rounded
up and the stool pigeon emerged from
under a blanket in a far corner of the
room where he had taken refuge follow
ing the ostrich school of thought that If
he could not see he could not be seen.
ROOM Is
SHOT UP.
More than fifty shots had been fired,
but so bad was the craftsmanship that,
although everything in the room was
shot to pieces except the persons taking
part in the fight, the only bullets that
hit their mark were the two fired by
Braughton.
When affairs had returned to a state
Of normally the suitcase was investi-
gated and morphine to the value of S10,-
600 was found In it. Then the real story
came out This morphine was being de
livered to s. Collins and his gang by the
three white men, two Italian brothers
named Nano and q man named Edward
Gray 1t is now believed that Collins
and his crew decided that 1t would be a
very neat little stunt to eat their cake
and have it by the simple expedient of
what is known in underworld parlance
as high lacking" the dope sellers; that
is buying the morphine, paying for it
and then holding up the sellers. In ac-
cordance with this plan it Is charged

quantities of opium prepared for the IN
dividual dope fend are called two and
one-half pounds of opium and seven Chi
namen. An enjoyable time was had by
all before the raids were completed.
About a year ago Braughton first
sprung into prominence in narcotic work
by breaking up the famous Woodbridge
Banner ring Of morphine dispensers in
Detroit. This ring had evaded arrest for
a long time and had dispensed thousands
of dollars worth of morphine in this
country When Braughtons work was
finished thirty seven arrests had been
made and later every one of the thirty
seven we're sentenced in Federal Court to
terms ranging from four months to four
years and fines running as high as $1,000.
Detroit is one of the greatest dope
centers in the United States, probably
being second only to New York City
in this unenviable distinction. Its prox-
unity to Canada makes 1t comparatively
easy for dope dispensers to bring mar
cotics into the city and it is distributed
from there. Lately Mexico has attained
an unsavory reputation in this respect
and is now pushing Canada hard for the
doubtful honor of supplying dope to the
United States.
AS might be expected where the risk
is great the profits from this Illicit mar
cotic trade are high. Morphine, for ex-
ample, sells for $50 to 800 an ounce in
large quantities and this is retailed out

tered with burst of drum fire that must

they stood in the trench lines of northern

Back a generation ago when good lit
tie boys wished to be bad and felt a
craving for that vague thing known as
action, they invariably started west to
become cowboys and kill redskins. A
little later the tide turned and boys
craving a bucket or two of blood started
east to become New York gunner. prob
ably in the near future we Will hear of
youngsters running away to become
Federal narcotic officers, for at present
the life Of one of Uncle Sans dope
sleuths seems to be about as full of ex-
element as even the most imaginative
Kind could desire.
Take. for example, the recent adven-
lures of Guy A. Braughton, who has
earned for himself around Detroit, one
Of the two largest centers Of the Illicit
narcotic trade in the country, the title
Of the Indiana Cleanup Man"
.>Braughton formerly was a member Of
Efhe indianapolis police force, and was
one of the best-known mounted men in
the city, until he went into the United
States narcotic service about two years
ago. Forty-three arrests. the capture or
thousands Of dollars worth of morphine
and other narcotics, and a leading part
in a red-hot revolver battle in a small
room in which eight pieces of hardware
were splitting lead in all directions, are
among the incidents that have occurred
in the last two months to keep life from
becoming too monotonous for him.
GUN FIGHT
THRILLER.
Braughton has been home on few
days leave during the last week, but
has now returned to Detroit to take up
his work again. The revolver battle
which occurred two weeks ago was a
thriller that filled the Detroit newspa-
pers with big headlines, resulted in the
capture Of $4,000 worth of morphine,
the arrest of three persons and the
wOunding of a negro policeman OF De
troit under circumstances that have been
the. cause of an Investigation now be
ing conducted by the police authorities
to see If he is a member Of one OF the
largest narcotic gangs operating in that
part of the country.
The whole battle and the capture or
the morphine was the result OF acciden-
tai circumstances that led TO greater re-
suits than the narcotic officers had
hoped when they started out.
For a long time Federal authorities
in Detroit have been trying TO obtain
evidence on six" Collins, a negro, who
has been dealing in narcotics. stool
pfgeon was sent to the home of Collins
to make a purchase Of 800 worth Of
morphine which was TO be paid for
with marked money. Joseph Diederich,
chief of narcotic officers at Detroit, and
Braughton waited outside until the
'.stooI' should give a prearranged sig
nal, when they were to rush in and make
The arrests.
= After waiting about five minutes the
Detroit atmosphere suddenly was shat
