Fatal accident in smith valley.

4. A. Whitacre, Coroner Of Ma
son Valley, left Wednesday night
to hold an inquest on the corpse of
a man who was killed on thresh-
ing machine in Smith Valley.
Frank Carroll accompanied Mr..
Whitacre. Further particulars
about the accident are not obtain
able at this time.
LATER-Since the above was put
in type it is learned that the man
who was killed is Louis Gullickson,
proprietor of a threshing outfit that
has been threshing grain in Smith
Valley. He was engaged in load
ing horse power at Mrs. Hoye's,
when it fell on him. He lived
about two hours. Gullickson came
from Antelope Valley, and will
probably be taken there for burial.

John Bordeau has returned to
Silver City from Canada, where he
has been for several years. He will
engage in mining on the Monterey
mine, an adjoining mine to the
Pedroli mine. A thousand feet of
rails have been purchased from the
Sutro Tunnel Company and will be
used to build track in the tunnel
in this claim. The Monterey is an
old mine that was abandoned some
years ago. Some very rich ore was
at one time taken out of it, but there
has not been any great quantity of
it found in lump.

Word was brought here last Mon
day night that Charlie Johnson,
section boss on the G. & G. road at
Tibbetts, about % miles from In
dependence, had been found muir
dered in the kitchen Of his house.
Just when the deed was done is not
known, but he was found lying on
the floor in the house Monday
morning by the Cinnamon who were
employed on his section and who
went to call him to go to work.
When found he had evidently been
preparing to take bath. There was
large cash on the back Of his head
and one in front, both wounds evil
IDENTIFY made with Ratchet or small
ak. Either of the wounds, it is re-
ported, would have caused death.
The Cinnamon who discovered him
were arrested and Johnson was ia
ken to independence where he
could have medical attendance. He
fingered until Wednesday and then
died, never regaining consciousness.
Upon examining Johnson's effects
in the house letters were found
which stated he intended to COM
nit suicide. He stated who he
owed money to, and left what he
had to Fletcher Beale. How he
could have inflicted more than one
of the wounds on his head is a
myster v. Either one must have
rendered him unconscious. Again
it seems curious that a man would
commit suicide by beating himself
to death with a Ratchet when there
was shot gun, pistol and razor in
the house. and from all appearances
he had just finished shaving.
Charlie Johnson was formerly
section boss at this place. He was
native of Sweden or Norway
aged about 35 years, and had been
employed in one capacity or anoth-
er on the G.. & C. road for about Is
years. He belonged to the Knights
of Pythias and Odd Fellow Lodges
here, and was in good standing.
His funeral took place in Indepen-
dence yesterday.

And told her that my best reward was just one

CHINESE OUTRAGEs.

Blame the Missionaries.
LONDON, Aug. 19-Kung Taien, Chi
nese minister plenipotentiary to the
courts of London, Brussels, Paris and
Rome, said of the recent massacre of
the missionaries in China that they
were on this as other previous occa-
sions mainly the work of rufians who
had awaited themselves of excep-
tional circumstances in order to work
mischief and loot property in
the confusion which ensued. For in
stance, at Cheng Flu some boys had
thrown little stones at a missio nary,
and, when demonstrated with, had per-
sisted. The missionary seized one of
the boys, dragged him through the
streets and locked him in the church
or chapel. A crowd stormed the build
ing, and in the fight which followed
murdered the missionary. The au-
thorities were promptly appraised of
what was going on and hurried to the
scene, but instead of being assisted by
the missionaries the latter upbraided
the mandarfns, and even laid hands on
one of them. This caused a new out
break. The emperor of China had per-
feet horror of every kind of outrage
and had launched three energetic de-
crees calling upon the foreign Office
the Tsung Ii Yamen-to meet out the
severest punishment to the guilty, and
he (the Chinese minister) felt perfectly
sure that these outrages would not oe-

LAKE MENNEwAsKA, n. Y, Aug. 20
Associate Justice Strong, of the
United States supreme court, retired
diad here at $40 o'clock yesterday

in Washington about two months ago.
Since his arrival here Judge Strong

intervals. Sunday he had a stroke
of paralysis, which affected the left

NATIONAL BANK STATEMENT.
Interesting Statistics from the Last RepOrt

Interesting Statistics from the Last Report
of the Currency Comptroller.
WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-The comp
troller of the currency has compiled
an aggregate statement of the condi-
ton of the 3, us national banks in the
United States as result of replies
made to his call for statement of con-
ditions of the banks on the 18th day
Of July last. The statement issued
shows more than anything else mid
summer inactivity. There is less
money out of the banks and more
money lying idle in their Golfers
The individual deposits on hand
amount to 500, 900, 900 more than was
shown by the statement of May Z. It
is interesting to note also that the gold
coin on hand in July was only S117,-
900, 900, as against 1923, 600, 900 in May.
bank gold has gone abroad and some
has probably gone to the bond syndi-
cate to replenish the treasury gold re-
serve. As many of the Leading national
banks throughout the country are
members of the bond syndicate the
fact that these banks still have $117,-
600, 900 gold on hand is in a small way
indicative of the ability of the syndi-
cate to obtain gold. AS is usually the
case the silver stock on hand is abso-
lutely immovable. Nobody wants it,
nobody will take it and banks keep it
stored away. In May the amount of
silver in the banks was SIP, 900, 900, and
it Was still ST., 200, 900 in July.

AWFUL DEATH LIST.
BuIgarians Burn and P1Ilage the MOham-

LONDON, Aug. 19-The Times prints
a dispatch from Sofia confirming the
report of the attack by 500 Bulgarians
on the Mohammedan village of Dospal,
across the Turkish frontier. The
later reports received show that
300 houses were burned and
l,4OO persons killed. A dynamite
bomb was thrown from a mosque into
a crowd of refugees. The village lies
in the widest recesses of the Rhodope
mountains, southeast of Batak. It is
inhabited by Mohammedan Bulgari-
ans, brave and warlil6e fanatics, who
hate the Christian Bulgarians
more than the Turks, and are
therefore likely to take terrible
revenge. 1t is believed that the attack
was arranged by the Macedonian COM
mittee in order to provoke fresh atroci-
ties and thus incense Europe against
