James Cheeves shot H. Goodman
twice, last Thursday morning, on the
road between Golden and San Pedro
with 40 caliber revolver. Strange as it
may seem, the two balls entering at
apparently vital points each glanced
around the ribs, one on each side, and
created what is supposed to be, not
dangerous flesh wounds. After the
shooting we understand that Cheeves
sent for an officer and surrendered him
self. The intent to have killed young
Goodman appears Enthusiastically good.
1t is stated that domestic trouble was
the motive for the shooting. -Ce1TilIos

that American tin mines arc purely
mythical, and that we can never pre-
duce it in apprcciabic quantities. II
this is true, then tin is specially fitted
to bear a tariff for revenue which
would be strictly in line with the
Chicago platform. A more powerful
argument is the need of revenue
created by Democratic extravaganza
in making appropriations. Demo
Gratis should stand foremost in the de-

The bill before the Senate provid-
ing that locomotives and ears on
railways engage, d in interstate CON-
merce shall be equippei with
automatic couplers and continuous
brakes is a humane measure for the
better protection of railway en-
ployees. The number Of shocking
accidents and fatalities which, owing
TO the absence of the precautions de-
nanded by this bill, occur every
year, is appalling. 1t is estimated
that in eight years as manv men en-
