The inquest on the body of Ahamedoff, which was to have been held this afternoon at 1 130 o'clock, was continued until 7 o'clock this evening in order to give the county attorney's office time to make some investigation. Dies in Hospital. Ahamedoff was brought to the emergency hospital in an automobile containing Dr.

Carl H. Horst, Under Sheriff Mike Murray and Deputy Sheriff Mul-cahey. He died a few minutes after 3 o'clock or within five minutes after reaching the hospital. An examination showed that the man had received two bullet wounds. One entered at the abdomen, pierced a leather money belt about his body which contained $360 in $20 bills, and lodged in the back.

The other pierced the right lung. Ahamedoff was a native of Bulgaria and 34 years of age. The body is at Richards' undertaking rooms. The Autopsy. This morning at 10 o'clock Dr.

Carl H. Worst and Dr. E. F. Maginn held an autopsy and found both bullets and reached the conclusion that the bullet wound in the abdomen was sufficient to cause death.

The bullet which went through the money belt about the man's body passed through several of the $20 bills and carried pieces of the bills into the body. As soon as word was received over the telephone that the shooting had occurred Under Sheriff Mike Murray with Deputy Sheriff Mulcahy and Dr. Carl H. Horst left for the scene in an automobile. They returned to the city about 3 o'clook with the wounded man and placed him in the emergency hospital, but he breathed his last before any attempt could be made to dress the wounds.

Wholesale Arrests. The officers again returned to the scene, accompanied by Deputy Sheriffs Jerry Sullivan and Hugo in the big Lou Stanhope machine. They found 13 men still at the place who were present when the shooting took place and loaded them into the machien and brought them to the county jail. Later Deputies Sullivan and Hugo again visited the place and took six more into custody. The following are the names of the 19 persons held at the county jail and who will all be brought to the hearing tonight and questioned by the county attorney and coroner through an interpreter in the hope that soma information may be gained which will throw light on the murder Hassan Mehemedoff, Tony Guriff, Hassan Sabnassa, Mistu Emin, Russ Stozar-roff, Blonzo Luvich, Mike Evanoff, Pete Bardaroff, Mike Vespsprs, George Pete, Mito Dimitroff, George Oreskovich, Mike Miller, Jem Neknoff, Mike Hagen, Angol Stankoff, Nick Kalstoff, George Mike and Mike Beyir.

Every one of the men had more or less money in his possession when searched at the county jail. For instance, Sam Sabnassa had $380, Emin $372, iMahmedoff $8o, Evanoff $128 and all the others sums under $too. It's in This County. The place where the shooting took place is in Silver Bow county and not in Jefferson county, as some people suppose. When asked this afternoon if the county had any laborers at work on road repairs or improvements of any kind at the place in question, Chairman James Riley of the board of county commissioners said most emphatically, "No." Some of the friends of Ahamedoff say that he leaves several relatives in Bulgaria and that he had planned to leave shortly on a trip to the old home.

The $360 found in the belt about the man's body was this afternoon handed over by City Jailer Barney Lavelle to Coroner Stevens, who will see to it that the man is given a respectable burial in accordance with the wishes of his countrymen, A dispatch to The Inter Mountain this afternoon from Donald, a small station just beyond the scene of the shooting, says OFFICERS ON TRAIL. Donald, Sept. 1. Officers are searching for Nick Smith and Jones Klitch, who are suspected of being implicated in the murder of Yusein Ahamedoff at midnight. Ahamedoff was the only man in camp who was known to have any amount of money and these two men were aware of the fact.

Both suspected men quit their jobs yesterday noon and were staying at Donald, awaiting the Milwaukee Olympian flyer nearly all afternoon, but disappeared before the train arrived and have not been seen since. The robbery was a failure, as Ahamedoff had secreted $360 and had only about a dollar, which the robbers secured. Both these men have small checks, signed by W. L. Ross, on the First National bank of Butte, and hopes are entertained of capturing them through an attempt to cash the checks.

1. Following the refusal of President C. H. Markman of the Illinois Central railroad to recognize the Federation of Shopmen, the 27 delegates representing the nine crafts today held several conferences and kept in close touch with the situation in San Francisco, where Vice President Julius Kruttschnitt of the Harriman lines was to meet with union labor leaders. Three courses are said to be open to the leaders of the 8,000 shopmen employed by the Illinois Central railroad First To call out the shopmen employed by the Illinois Central at once, either in a separate strike or in connection with a general strike of all shopmen on the Harriman system lines.

Second To serve a 30 days' notice abrogating existing wage agreements, withholding the strike order until the expiration of that period and in the meantime make an effort to secure negotiations for peace with the railroad officials. Third To recede from their demand that the railroads recognize the federated organization of shopmen employes. It is believed that one of these alternatives will soon be decided on. Several of the delegates have, it is said, expressed themselves in favor of giving the railroad company 30 days' notice of the abrogation of wage contracts. If this action is decided on, the question of calling a strike will be indefinitely delayed.

Local heads of the shopmen have wired their representatives at San Francisco for advice, and it is expected they will be guided to a certain extent by the answer received to this message. The labor chiefs declined to discuss their pending action to-dav, although several important conferences were held, at which the entire situation was carefully considered. A report that an employment agency on the south side has signed 500 strikebreakers for immediate use on the Harriman lines in the west was brought to the attention of the labor men today, but they declined to comment on it. CONFERENCE IN 'FRISCO. San Francisco, Sept.

1. At a conference attended by Julius Kruttschnitt, vice-president of the Harriman system, and other Harriman line officials in this city on one side, and by James W. Kline, J. A. Franklin, J.

D. Buckalew, M. F. Ryan and J. D.

Crane, representing the five shop crafts involved, on the other, the formal demands of 35,000 railroad shopmen employed on the Harriman system are being threshed out in this city today. Both sides announced that they went into the conference determined not to recede from their positions, that of the railroad being that it would not recognize the federation of employes and that of international union leaders that this recognition must be conceded. In setting the hour for the meeting, Vice-President Kruttschnitt let it be understood distinctly that he was meeting the labor leaders as individual representatives of their respective unions and not as a joint committee representing the federation. While there are some minor subjects that the labor leaders desire to have adjusted, the real point at issue is the question of recognition of the federation and the labor leaders went into the conference firm in the determination to induce Kruttschnitt to consent to a meeting between the representatives of the federation and the general managers of the Harriman system. In case no agreement is reached today or if the decision is against the desires of the labor leaders, there can be no appeal.

Kline received a telegram yesterday from President Lovett of the Harriman system saying that any action resolved on by the officials now In this city would be ratified by the railroad company. The Southern Pacific company continues to lay off men, between 75 and 500 men from its auditing staff having been let out yesterday. Most of these men have ben employed as train auditors and this work will be done by conductors from now on. At a late hour it was stated that Julius Kruttscnitt, acting under full authority given him by President Robert S. Lovett, rejected the demands of the newly organized Federation of Shop Employes of the Harriman lines.

He absolutely refused to recognize officially the existence of the federation. NO VACATIONS NOW. Omaha, Sept. 1. A general order was issued today from the Union Pacific headquarters canceling all vacation orders for the balance of the year.

No reason was assigned for the action, but it is understood to be part of the general plan for retrenchment on the part of the company. A large portion of the employes of the road are affected. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Sept. 1. Of 371 shopmen who voted on the strike question 193 voted to go out if a strike is called.

Falls City, Sept. 1. One hundred and seventy-five shopmen employed in the Missouri Pacific yards at this place walked out. They assigned as their reason the employment by the company of non-union bosses. Besides being non-union men, the bosses were also objectionable otherwise, the men said.

STRIKE IN BROOKLYN. New York, Sept. 1. About 1,800 members of the Brotherhood of Painters struck today in Brooklyn for an increase of wages from $3.50 to $4 a day. TRAGEDIES CAUSED has made several attempts to escape, and several attempts to commit suicide.

Frankhauser's partner in crime, Charles McDonald, has never been captured and his whereabouts is unknown. Frequent rumors have been circulated of his capture, but investigation always disclosed the fact that such was not the case. UNABLE TO RESIST SALE OUTBURST OF A IE Judge Donlan Turns Case in Juvenile Court Into a Joke and Allows a Small Boy to Go Car of Watermelons Is Involved. The case of the state against Joseph Vidmar, a small boy accused of stealing a small watermelon and eating; it all himself, charges the small man with breaking into the car of watermelons. He denied this in juvenile court today and said the car was open.

If the judge had his suspicions as to a car of watermelons being open, he said nothing, but when Joseph cried over it and the judge asked him if they might not be watermelon tears, the boy nodded his head in affirmation. When he was asked if he wouldn't like more melons, the little lad said "Yes." The judge told him he was trying to be truthful and, as this was his first offense, he was sent with his father and told not to come back again. Wilbur Antone, Clarence Ward and Louis Semmer, who were charged with stealing coal from the railroad yards, were dismissed, with an admonition to the parents to look after them and let them realize that railroad property was private property and had to be respected as such. BODY NOT RECOVERED. The men who are engaged in the search for the body of Jack McXulty in the Giroux mine have not yet been successful and reports are now that it may be several dnys before the remains are brought to the surface.

After two years in the superior, federal and supreme courts of this state and also in Montana and Minnesota, the Tamous Frankhauser reward case has been decided in favor of the western claimants, according to advices received yesterday by Sergeant of Detectives Alex. Macdonald, one the western beneficiaries, says The of Spokane. By the final judgment 45 per cent of the reward of $5,000, minus $600 that goes to a St. Paul detective, goes to the sergeant. Special Agent John Dclaney of the Great Northern railroad and former Police Captain D.

D. McPhee. Frankhauser, with Charles McDonald, held up a Great Northern train in Montana over two years ago, obtaining about $40,000. After doing the job the men took refuge in Bonner's Ferry and indulged in such extensive dissipation that their actions immediately aroused suspicion. When they left for Spokane the bartender where they had been celebrating wired the local officers, with the result that both men were apprehended at Hillyard.

A reward 01 $5,000 had been offered for their capture and conviction, which the local officers naturally claimed. The men were moved to a Montana prison and subsequently escaped. Frankhauser was recaptured by Minnesota officers and they, too, demanded the reward-'A St. Paul detective also put in a claim. The settlement of the various claims occupied the courts until last week, when the final judgment was made after the former ruling had been appealed to the supreme 'court.

The eastern and western claimants had previously agreed on a settlement of 55 and 45 per cent, respectively, and the claim of the St. Paul detective was the only obstacle in the path. Since that has been removed there is nothing to prevent the division of the money, as it is in the hands of Clerk of the Court McCubrey of Clay county, Minnesota, while the cases have been in the court. Frankhauser was convicted in the federal court in Helena, Judge William II. Hunt presiding, of robbing the mails in the night time, and was sentenced to a term of life imprisonment at Fort Leavenworth prison.

Since his incarceration there, he REWARD BY STOCK SLUMPS German Brokers Hit Hard by American Securities' Decline. Berlin, Sept. 1. The recent break in the prices of American securities is having disastrous consequences on a number of German brokers. Last night George Weichert, the proprietor of a brokerage, firm, was found drowned in a lake near Berlin.

He is said to have been made bankrupt through the drop in Canadian Pacific railway shares. Another broker, Paul Dehnicke, died suddenly yesterday, and it is said he committed suicide through reason of losses in American securities bought in the London market. Paul Kwiet and Martin Cans of the private banking house of Kwiet Gans, who were arrested Aug. 19, charged with embezzlement of $500,000 of the bank's deposits, were examined in court today. They testified that their disaster was due to the slump in prices.

At Hamlmry a broker named Ernest Friedlander fled yesterday, being unable to meet his engagements on the London and New York exchanges. OFFICER COLLIGArM HAD BEST STAY AT HOME AFTER DARK In juvenile court today, in the case of several boys who do not go home at night, the parents were warned that if the probation officer caught the lads on the street after 9 o'clock the parents would be brought back again, and the court would not be lenient enough to let them off again. John Takkila's father was told to take the child home and get a doctor at once, and judging from the little fellow's face the advice was well given. One angry mother told Judge Donlan she had it in for Mr. Colligan, the truant officer, and that he had better keep out of her way.

From the way she said it Officer Colligan will probably not be out after 9 o'clock nights any more himself. The seven boys who were called up for stealing bottles from a saloon were dismissed to appear next Friday with a dozen others they claim were implicated. As it was impossible to get the boys all together this morning, the case was coa-tinued until next week..
