MURDEROUS HIGHWAYMEN
Puente Storekeeper Shot Down by
Masked Robbers


Out in the little town of Puente there
was last night enacted a tragedy in
which the principal actors were a store
keeper named Hayes and two masked
robbers. Hayes now lies cold in death,
and. although posses of officers have
been securing the country all the night,
the murderers are yet at large. 7. F.
Hayes runs a general merchandise and
feed store in the town named, and was
at 10 o'clock just preparing to close for
the night OF sudden two men entered
the store, and before Hayes had recov-
cred from his surprise had him covered
with the muzzles of revolvers. Both
men were masked and otherwise dis
gused, one wearing big white SOM
brero and an oilskin overcoat, while the
second had gunnysack pulled over his
head and shoulders with hoks for the
eyes.
Hayes was commanded to open the
safe, and proceeded to do SO. He was
lamp in one hand, when there was a sud-
den interruption. The stage drove up
in front of the door and two or three
men entered the store. The sight of the
newcomers gave courage to Hayes, and,
the robbers attention being diverted
for moment, he placed the lamp on the
floor and grabbed his revolver, which
was close at hand behind the counter.
Upon this move on Hayes part being
observed, the men opened fire on him.
and holding the newcomers at bay with
their guns backed from the store and
escaped in the darkness.
Assistance was Immediately given to
the wounded man, but it was of no
avail he dying inside of a few moments
without being able to speak. tele-
phone message was sent to Sheriff
Burr in this city. and posse, heavily
armed, was sent in pursuit of the mur-
derous ruffians. The coroner was also
notified and will go to the scene of the
crime today.

No Hope for the Men imprisoned In the
Hope 1inc

BUTTE, Mont. April 9.-Up to latest
reports the men imprisoned in the burn
ing Hope mine at Basin had not been
reached or heard from and their friends
are certain now that not one is alive.
All night the entire population of Basin
worked INCREASINGLY and resorted to
every known method to get air down to
the entombed miners. After the tmbers
commenced to fall down, hope of being
ing able to save the men was given up.
Several candles and lanterns We're low
cred today but they would not get low
er than twenty feet before they would
flicker and go out, which was suti-
cient to denote that there was no hope
for the imprisoned men. The fire nm
doubtedly caught in the blacksmith
shop. Jim Dwyer heard the fire alarm
and Immediately went into the surface
of the tunnel for forty feet, and on
looking up saw the fire above. He
raped the danger signal on the pipes
and received an answer in return from
the men. signifying they realized the
danger they were in. This was the last
sound heard from them. With the
amount of debris that has fallen down
the shaft it will be several days before
the bodies can be recoveedr. The fol-
lowing are the names of the men in the
mine: John Buckley, Martin Sullivan,
Hugh McKeown. Patrick Buckley, Bar
ney Hall, Will Belden, Ed Macarthur.

The Smith and Gibbons patent wire
nail attachment Is attracting the attcn-
ton OF iron and nail manufacturers all

attachment cut nail machine can be
quickly changed into wire nail ma
chine. This Is done by the removal OF
