this afternoon by a man who gave his -
name, a Burke, and was made to pay
name as Burke, and as mado to pay
over $27 j0. It was one of the boldest
and bet planned trick ever turned in,
thia eity. '
Yesterday Burke, who said he wa
part owner in tha Butte Miner, ar
ranged a meeting with Goldsmith, pre
tending he wished to buy a half inter
est in Goldsmith's two vaudeville thea
ters. They met aaain todar to discuss
i matter, and , when closeted in
Goldsmith' room the first thing Burke
did waa to tell Goldsmith to read a
letter lying on the table in thevoom. t
The letter stated Burke needed $2750
and. if Goldsmith did not "come through
with that amount this head would be
blown off. Goldsmith looked no from
tbe letter and down the barret of a
Coif revolver. At Burke's command
Goldsmith wrote a check for that
amount and sent the hotel clerk to the
bank for the money. Pocketing the
money Burke told Goldsmith, that
Goldsmith was a gentlemen, and he
would not take Goldsmith's diamonds.
He locked Goldsmith in tha bathroom, ,
telling him to make no outcry for fif
teen minute. After a tea minutes'
wait Goldsmith began yelling and at-
tracted a woman in the next room who
ummoned the porter. Burke escaped
and it ia believed baa taken either the
Northern Pacific or Great Northern
train out of town. The police in the
neighboring towns have been notified.
