for the blowing up mining plant
and on other charges, Siringo mere
ly told of what he bad seen end
learned, but of hia own hair-breadfth
escapes from death or torture he
bad said little.
Details given in the following ac
count of Siringo' a experiences while
acting as a spy in the Miners fJn
ion at Gem, Idaho, in 1892, were
furnished by a detective in the em
ploy of the state. ' who is a warm
friend of the Pinkerton oper
ative and has bis confidence in a
marked degree Siringo is fcmall
aod wirv. with tbla features and ft
dwk complexion, with black trous
ets and a black Blouch bat with i
broad brim.
His "areenal" consists of a "saw
ed-cff barrel 44-caliber revolver,
which is nickel-plated and of the
single action variety. It is raid
that be can hoi a this at the hip,
with the trigger pulled tight to the
guard, and "fan" the hammer with
the other hand eo rapidly that he
can empty the weapon of , its six
shots much more rapidly than could
be accomplished with a double ac
tion revolver, and yet with such ac
curacy as to place the bullets, at
distance of 20 or 3O. feet, within
radius of two incnea.
Oae day a meeting of the union
held, at wmcn tnere was consiaer
abU talk about stooping the pumpi
at a Wardner mill and allowing it
to become flooded. Lter tha pres
idtnt of the union suggested to Sir
ineo that he bad better cut this
page from the minutes ot the meet'
ipg a he was ' cf etaryj and be did
eo, inclosing it withiis next report
to the Mlueowners' -Association
The Association gave out consider
able information to the papers
amons the items beloe an assertion
that tbcminere bad cog'.impUted

or "Allison ' as be was known.
': An cffioiaf ot tbe' .'Butte Mint
TJukn, named Dalla?,-was tent for
and asked to f errttTout who was re
sponsible for socb tbioeajteUinz In
to print. At the-oejrt cueetinv of
the anion at Gem! Sirfngo failed to
make bis appearance on time. The
dark an 1 Kowin? sees about bim
and the fierce eUnV ies which he en
countered showed nim that the least
false move would mean, bis death
"Mr. President," sseer'ed Dallas,
risioe from his sea, - "I desire to
tay inat 1 nave obtaioea iniorma
tion that among tts js a traitor,
paid spy of the Mintoffnets' A-so
ciation. He shall never leave this
room alive."
Vociferous applause greeted tb
denunciation, in : which AilisoD
joined, seemingly, with a will. He
was then invited to step down, wbile
tttvsttu men, including Dillae, ex
ffilBd bis books. He did eo and
tbete aen went over bia books ca e
faHy, frequently mutteriog in un
dertones. The secretary finally in
quired as to what was the cause of
their perplexity, suggesting that he
might be able to explain anything
wbion puzzled them.
"Ye?," menacingly remarked one
of the men, "there is a lief missing
from the minute book. Can yon
explain that?"
iringo replied that be could and
would. . He then ent on to ex
plain that the president of the un
ion bad instructed bim to remove
tbejiwf
"fiat's a lie!' Angrily shouted
the president, rising from hia chair.
tHold 00, sir; not so fatt,". re
epdMed tbe secretary-spy, "you
will .remember, if you think a little
that at the last meeting a good deal
was said about flooding tbe mill at
Wardner, and.-that you afterward
told me it would -be better to cut
tne page on wmcn this was men
tioned cut of the minute book." '
The president sat down and
promptly apelpg1zd, saying that hf
bad done as tbe Secretary said, but
bad for tbemomtct , iorgotten the
feet. This probably saved Siringo's
yfe. and m any rof tfia members ex
pressed their sympathy that be had
for a while been placed in "so tight
a box." Bataiflask and eevsral
others war 'btrVltfsfied by any
means, ana theirerlbrts
to prove that ftirsecretary was in
the service of the Mineowners' As
sobiation. "
Little by little they obtained the
evidence which enabled them to
work up a strong sentiment against
bim, and at daylight on tbe morn
ing of Jnly 12 he walked down from
the FriEco mill, on theeve of the
riots which followed, and "found a
