But just Now They Are More Numerous
and Are in Want ,f Fuel and Food
The poor are always numerous, but es-
pecially so during the cold weather.

only lies in the ability of the officials to
Investigate the cases presented.
The most urgent need Of the poor in
this season is coal. A careful investiQa-
ton shows that when ever money is given
TO worthy applicant for charity four
ffths OF it is expended for fuel.
Overseer of the Poor Cumminge saws
that his duties have been severe during
the last month. He has constantly on
hand over one hundred eases of needy
families who are regularly supplied with
food and fuel. This year the new appli.
cants have numbered fifteen or twenty
each day. During the last five days over
100 applications have been investigated
The average increase this winter over last
has been 80 per cent. The usual amount
OF coal distributed has been thirty to

winter the distribution has reached fifty
tons per month.
The prevalence of cold weather adds
to the sickness of the poor aud The rooms

The difficulty in dispensing charity
lies in selecting the worthy ones from

come out in full force in winter and es-

one family near Chalkstone avenue
which illustrates the methods pursued
by this class. They only beg during
snow storms. Snow faxes on their
clothing they consider as valuable as dol
lars and cents, and unfortunately they
are generally successful.

A Reporters Bad Luck.

Mortified, Mimi, June IL. = E.
b, Ford, a newspaper correspondent
living in Dundas, narrowly escaped
lynching Saturday night. In his
correspondence for several news
papers he has severely criticised the
Mills revival meetings, He also
made a host of enemies by publish
ing scandalous statements about a
minister there.
On Wednesday Ford received a
letter warning him to leave the
country. He laughed at the threats,
and last right a crowd of men, cloth
ed in white gowns and masks, went
to his home and pulled him out of
bed. They dragged him out and had
HIM hanging to a tree when his
brother appeared with a rifle and
shot at the crowd. They dispersed,
one at least being wounded. Ford
claims to know some of the men who
attempted to lynch him and will
swear out warrants.

Beer Famine.

Winnemucca has been suffering all
the horrors of beer famine for the
past three days. 1t was caused by a
quarrel between the railroad COM
panies over freight charges on several
carloads of beer, which were side
tracked at Ogden pending settle
ment of the dispute. 1t the beer
dosn't arrive within the next "a
hours, the result will be something
horrible.
One of the principal causes of the
famine is said to be the additional
impetus given to the beer trade
which was a consequence of the de-
mise of the Good TemplarA lodge last
week.

A REJECTED CLAIM.
The Controller Blocks Mr.. Collins
Movement Toward the
Treasury.
Treasury.

The claim of $3.50 put in against
the State by Trenmor Coffin still
sleeps quietly in the State CONTROL
er's Office.
1t appears that last winter when
the case of Sawyer VS.. Dooley, to test
the constitutionality of the Assess
or's Act. came up from Lincoln Co.,
Mr.. Coffin scented fee and very
kindly volunteered to render the
Attorney Genesal any assistance in
his power.
Mr.. Coffin appeared" in the case
and read some authorities to the
Court.
Mr.. Torreyson naturally was not
particularly stuck on the idea of hav-
ing Coffin in the case, as it presented
the appearance to the public that
Mr.. Torreyson did not consider
himself qualified to run the case and
had called in Coffin, As matter of
fact he never asked Coffin to appear
at all, and told the Board of Exam
iners SO when the bill came up.
The Board laid the bill over sey-
eral times as they were unable to see
the necessity of having an outsider
charging for the State law business
when a regularly elected Official was
drawing a salary for doing the work.
The Board finally allowed the bill,
but it is whispered about the Capitol
building that they knew before hand
that Horton would sit down on it.
Mr., Coffin went in to get the war
rant one day, after Horton senior
had gone to the Worlds Fair, and
ho thought Horton junior would file
into the vault and hand out the war;
rant.
He didn't, however, but andy
informed Mr., Coffin that tn De
partment would be unable t. ISSUE
warrant on that particular claim.
Mr.. Coffin threatens suit.

BEAUTY CONTEST.
NAME:
New Gold Discovery.

L. F. Dunn returned last night
from a prospecting trip. After max
ms several rich placer locations in
the Humboldt range, he went over
into Central district. There he dis
covered a gold ledge four feet in
width, and as the miners say, it was
"lousy with gold" 1t was found
about 800 feet north of the northern
boundary of the Blackbird and Eel
lows claims, and lies between slate
and sienite formation. He says
these other claims are spurs of his
mine that he has the mine of the
district. Dunn and M. S. Bonni-
field are the locators. In early days
it was thought that our mines of
value were silver mines and little at
tention was paid to gold. But from
le valuable mines now being worked
and new discoveries made in Central.
Rebel Creek and Kennedy districts
it seems we have most valuable gold
veins. Besides hundreds of China
men and great number of white
men are taking out large quantities
of gold from the many placer claims
in this country. Dunn says the
goldbugs cannot get the best of him
as inside of twelve months he will
have more gold than any of them.
