Tillamook Maadlight, April A WELL SET TRAP Snared a Blackmailer Who Dared to Invade Wall Street. TRIED TO WORK JAY GOULD. But th» Old Financiar Was Not te B» Scarod by ■ Black Hand Lsttsr, »nd His Partner Fixed Up a Scheme That Cleverly Caught the Culprit. Tbe late Jay Gould arrived at bls of fice ODe morning in a state of mind. "There."' he said to his favorite part ner. Hinging down a letter which had been addressed to Mrs. Jay Gould. “I don’t mind their writing their scurril ous things to me. but wben they begin to send them to my wife it's got to be stopped. What can you do?” The partner first read tbe letter. Tbe writer premised that be had lost a great deal of money speculating in Gould stocks, especially Missouri Pacific, and required that be be advised bow to get back wbat he had lost and more be sides. Unless Mr. Gould Imparted to him straight, bona fide money making Information he would destroy Mrs. Gould. Tbe manner in which be de sired the Information to be Imparted was this: Every morning an advertise ment should be Inserted In the personal column of a certain New York news paper advising him when to buy and wben to sell Missouri Pacific. The ad vertisement should be written in a code which be bad devised, so that be alone would receive and understand the tip. “I think I can catch him,” said Mr. Gould's partner. "Just leave It to me.” Mr. Gould was for calling in Inspec tor Byrnes at once, but his partner thought they bad better wait until they bad laid a mine for the offender. The partner, who had a shrewd un derstanding of human nature, proceed ed in an unexpected manner. It hap pened that Mr. Gould's firm was very active In Missouri Pacific and con- trolled the stock’s fluctuations, On the next day an advertisement was inserted, as the blackmailer bad re quested, informing him agreeably to his code to buy Missouri Pacific and to watch for further instructions. Mia- sour! Pacific stock went up. A few days Inter another advertisement waa Inserted telling him to sell .Missouri Pacific. And Missouri Pacific declin ed Again he was told when to buy It and again when to sell It. and wben this had been repeated a number of limes tbe partner was ready to spring the trnp. lie Inserted an advertise ment which took the blackmailer off bls guard. It read somewhat like this: "Missouri Pacific.—Tbe person wbo has been receiving information to his own profit about the movements of tills stock has not kept faith with us. He has been Imparting it to others. For that reason it is discontinued.” That was not true. There was not the slightest reason to believe that the black mailer bad Imparted his Informa tion to others: there had been even no conclusive evidence of his acting on It for himself, as be would not be likely to speculate on so large a scale ns to be recognized in the stock mar ket Rut even In a few hundred shares at n time a man conld make ■ great deal of money in a short time If be knew beforehand infallibly when tbe price would rise and wben it would fall. Mr. Gould's partner counted upon the man's natural impulse wben accused of having, by his own lack of discretion, slain his goose. The im pulse would be to deny that be bad broken faith. The chances were that he would deny It by letter. The trick was to nail him as he mailed the letter. Inspector Byrnes was now called into the case. The accusing advertise rnent was printed on Sunday morning, so that if the blackmailer posted a letter during tbe day ft would be all tbe easier to catch him. Inspector Byrnes stationed a man at every mall box in tbe postal district from which the original letter of threat bad l>een posted to Mrs. Gould. Every man wbo posted a letter anywhere in that dis til t that Sunday was under suspicion. Before he was out of sight a detec tive. under pretense of i>osting one of his own. bad opened tbe box with tils pass key and had inspected tbe letter last deposited. And Just before dark a letter ad diessed to Jay Gould was posted by a web dressed young man. wbo ten min utes later was in tbe office of Inspecter Byrne* protesting Indignantly and de- < rit.g hi» family connections. He did i >t know on what evidence be bad been taken, Mr. Gould'» partner was smnmoued. and he opened the letter, v. » b was exactly the one expected The writer warmly and truthfully da- n.i-d that be > bad imparted the tbe Missouri l'a< lfic information to any one and eaid that therefore be should expect to con tinue receiving it as before.

The itusaian peasaut has a saying which invariably puzzles the foreigner, "Too polite and die like Bekovitch.” The proverb refers to one ot the moot tragic episodes in Muscovite history. In the early spring ot 1717 Prince Bekovitch Cheraski led an armed ex pedition consisting of 4.000 infantry and 2.000 cavalry into the then almost unknown interior ot south central ¿Ma. His ostensible object was to open up commercial relations with the khans of Khiva and Bokhara, his real one to see If it were possible to invade India from the north. The prince, with whom were many officers of the imperial bodyguard, a brilliant company, marched his men across the arid steppes with difficulty and on Aug. 15 baited some eighty miles from the city of Khiva. The Kbivans. ignoring bis profes sions of friendship, attacked tn force, but were easily defeated by the better armed and better disciplined soldiers of the czar. Their khan thereupon resorted to diplomacy. He visited tbe Russian camp in state, explained that tbe at tack delivered by bis people was ali a mistake and Invited Prince Beko vitch and his principal officers to visit bls capital as bls guests. Two days later, at a grand entertain ment. tbe khan toasted bis “friends the Russians" and vowed eternal friend ship. He also took tbe opportunity of requesting Prince Bekovitch to divide his army Into small detachments for entertainment in tbe surrounding vil lages. regretting the inability of bls capital to entertain so many guests. The Russian commander politely agreed to the politely preferred request, the Russian force was broken up. and tbe khan laughed sardonically. His turn bad come. Early next day be killed Bekovitch and forwarded his bead as a gift to the khan of Bokhara. Then he annihilated the Russian army. The drunkard will have none of me. The heavy drinker says “no” when my name is mentioned. The man who craves rough—strong— whiskey passes me by. All this is as it should be—as I myself would wish it I am not for them.
