Tuesday night there was a fatal
shooting ARRAY in the White House
saloon at Silver City in which Charlie
Cantley, the city marshal, was the vic
tim and James S. Fielder, the we'll
known lawyer, came out unhurt. Ac-
cording to the report received by the
LBERAL'Mr Fielder was sitting 10
the White House club room watching
a game of cards when Cantley, who
was somewhat under the influence Of
liquor, came in. Cantley accosted
Fielder, saying he had been told that
Fielder had been talking about him
and was carrying a gun for him. This
Fielder denied. Explanations were
made and the matter appeared to be
amicably settled, TO celebrate which
the two adjourned to the bar and took
a social drink. The matter seemed to
still rankle in Cantley's mind for he
suddenly asked Fielder if he had a
gun, and telling him that he, Cantley,
had one. Fielder answered that that
was a queer question to ask. Cantley
immediately drew his gun. When the
smoke cleared away it was found that
Cantley had fired three shots and was
dead, with two bullets through his
left breast and one through his neck,
Fielder had fired FIVE shots and was
unhurt, and George Hauser's hair had
turned white. At the preliminary ex-
animation the evidence showed that
Fielder had acted in self defense and
he was not held. Both men are we'll
known all over the county. Cantley
has held various positions as peace Of
lcer for the past ten years and has
generally performed the duties of his
office satisfactorily. He was about
forty years old, He leaves a wife and
three or four children.

A Stunning Speech.

A distinguished traveller who had made
tho ascent of an Asiatic mountain (Which
may be here called UpapoD was to re-
turn thanks for the visitors at dinner Of
the Alpine club, but though he was bold
mountaineer, he was timid orator. "Got
to make speech?" said friend whom he
consulted at the club. "Then there is
oothing like taking glass of sherry and
bitters first" So said other friends, one
after the other, and on each occasion the
prescribed dose was oonscientiously swal-
lowed. The effect on nervous organiza-
tion was nothing less tl4an confusion
worse COMPOUNDED.
When his achievement had been de-
scribed in glowing terms by the proposer
Of the toast and the celebrated explorer
rose to reply, he contented himself at first
Nth smiling blandly at his audience for
minute or two as he swayed backward and
forward. Then he began: Gentlemen,
Upapol is II, 600 levels above the feet OF
the sea- There was roar of Homeric
laughter, but the orator smiled still and
continued: "No, that is all-norsense.
OF course 1 mean 10000 seas above the
level of the feet" Another shout made
him think that this statement, too, had
something wrong about it, and then he
gave up his task in despair, and we never
heard particulars of an ascent which we
were quite prepared to celebrate as the
most remarkable feat of modern climb

man who called for "Billy." He kept
at work enlarging the space around him,

strong hand seized him and he was pull

A man with his arms free was discovered
and he called for water which was given
him. He began to faint from the effects
of the smoke. Hats were used to fan the
smoke from his face Scantlings were

pinioned that he could not be pulled out

girl further in the ruins had died aaway.
The man was James Ross. He pleaded
with the workers to dig for another man
whom he said was near him. He was
practically dead when extricated.
Arthur Lynch, who was working along
side Ross and Michael Ward had a won

undertakers were pulling at the body

sisted in dragging the body from the
ruins said the victim was still alive. The
man IN charge. Of the body refused to
open the coffin and Sullivan kicked the

WON HIS CASE
Philadelphia Lawyer'S Idea of Thrift
and How It Worked.


and How It Worked.
Over in Philadelphia dwelt young
law student who fell in love just as he
was about to be admitted to practice. The
girls father also belonged to the profession
and was reckoned pretty smart, as Phila-
delphia lawyers go. The old fellow gave
a partial consent to the young man S
pleadings, but concluded he would try the
student and see if he was worthy to be his
son-in-law. So he said
"Tbe case of Blank against Blank has
been on the calendar several years. 1t has
been tried, appealed, decision reversed,
tried again and comes up again for argu-
ment at the next general term. l am
counsel for the plaintiff. l have had the
case four years, but now I turn it over to
you. Here are the papers. See what you
can dc"
The young man took the papers and
went to work with vim born of love-for
if he won the case would he not also win a
bride? At last life seemed to him worth
the living. He studied the case thorough
". He consulted the authorities and was
loaded and primed for a brilliant argu-
ment when the court convened. He made
his plea and won the case without any
trouble.
With heart OVERLOOKING with joy, he re-
turned to his prospective father-in-law,
and, slapping down the papers, he ex-
claimed:
"See here, sir! The case is wonl These
are the proofs What you tried for years to
do I have accomplished at a single term of
court Now, may have your daughter"
The old fellow looked up with a smile
upon his face as he replied:
Il think you fool and you can't have
my daughter. But will just give you a
little gratuitous advice: 1t is true had
the case four years without winning it,,
and it is also true that made thousands
of dollars out of it. But you have gone
and settled it, and what have you NADER
About $50. No, sir, you can't have my
daughter !''-New York Journal

SENATOR CARTER.
Ex-President Harrison Not Trying to Gust
Him from Craftsmanship of Republican
Committee.

Washington, November 6. The friends
are annoyed by the reports which come
here from the west that Benjamin Har-
rison is endeavoring to remove Senator
Carter from the Guardianship OF the
Republican national com mittee. Car
ters friends say that. there would be no
justification for such a step. MI Carter
has shown no disposition to abuse is
place. His silver views have all along
been we'll known, but he has not sought
in any manner to forward the silver
cause through the prestige of his Office
as chairman. And even sweress disposed
to do so, his opportunity would be small.
There will be little for him to do between
now and the holding of the next Nation
al Convention. The question of chair
man-either of selecting new one, or OF
continuing Mr.. Carter in his place-will
come up then. and will be decided in
conjunction with the candidate chosen
and the platform adopted.
Gen. Harrison personally has never
been inimical to Mr.. Carter. Their re-
lations, on the contrary, have always
been friendly. Mr. Carter was not. Gen.
Hafr1SOn'S cnOlc6 1Or chairman In 1914,
but for that matter it was asserted Gen..
Harrison pushed nobody for the place.
He asked advice on the subject and
showed disposition to leave the ques-
ton largely to his friends Mr.. Carter
was the third man proposed. Mr.. Camp.
bell of Illinois and Gen. Sewell of New
Jersey were unable to undertake the
task. Gen. Harrison accepted the sug-
gestion as to Mr.. Carter at once, and the
latter acceptedsthe place.
The two men, it is declared, worked to-
gether in perfect harmony during the
campaign, and after it was over Gen.
Harrison thanked Mr.. Carter for the
very hard if unsuccessful campaign he
had directed. He never dreamed of at
tributing any part of the disaster met
with, to Mr.. Carter's management. but
TOOK his medicine uncomplainingly and
like man. They met recently in New
York, though not of course by appoint
ment or for any special purpose, and
spent sometime pleasantly together. They
may have talked politics, but nothing
connected with the meeting is thought
to warrant in the slightest degree the
story now in circulation.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Story of a Man Who Stood High In the
Financial World.

Financial World,
Charles Fair the only male heir of the
late James G. Fair, sat in the billiard
room of the Palace hotel talking to some
pioneer friends of his father.
ssDo you know, Charlie, that book Of
"reminiscences of your father would sell
like hot cakesP You ought to put the data
in the hands of some publisher and let him
issue the volume. What do you think
about it?''
The son smiled and looked up at the
talker as he replied:
''Why don't you do it?''
s'Me do it!' exclaimed the man with
the publishing ideas. 81 didn't know
him.
Nobody knew him. l don't think a man
over lived who enjoyed his confidence. I
can assure you that he was the same
strange man to me that he was to others,
and his iron rule to keep his own counsel
was never broken.
whenever he did fall into confidential
and chatty mood, it was to jest about
something or to theorize. I recall a story
he once told Alfred E. Davis, his old part
her. The story have in mind was woven
into serious conversation, and he never
cracked smile over it. Before proceeding,
however, must tell you that in the Com
stock mines a ladder goes down the side OF
each shaft, and every twelfth rung is iron,
so as to give the whole additional strength.
Well, father said to him:
g Davis, do you know I was almost
killed once in the Crown Point mine?
" How was that, Jim?
" This way l was looking down the
shaft to see if everything was all right and
lost my balance. Being unable to recover
myself, toppled over and fell. Yes, Da-
Wis, fell. must have gone about 100 feet
when 1t suddenly struck me that If didn' t
begin doing something pretty quick I
would go clear through to hades, SO l
reached out and grabbed rung of the lad
der. 1t broke, and I grabbed the next.
That broke too, but 1 reached for the
third, which also gave way, and the next,
and the next, and SO on, but it broke my
fall, and in about five minutes 1 reached
the bottom a little Jared up, but perfectly
sound
"Davis looked at him out of the corners
of his eyes few seconds and said:
".What did you do, Jim, when you
came to the twelfth rungf Did you grasp
at that tooP'
I" why, missed it, Do you think I
wanted to smash everything that was in
the miner -
When Charles finished his story, he was
laughing more heartily than any one else
in the crowd and could not be prevailed
upon to recall anything more that had
come from the lips of his famous financial
father. -San Francisco Gall.
