The prisoner felt the rope slipping to-
ward his chin. Already the other end was
over a limb of the tree under which he
lay. He set his teeth firmly, threw out
his arms in a final. desperate, almost un-
conscious struggle-then 1t was over.
The Meteor went to press early. The
FREELY and Rocket held open late for
further particulars of a mysterious lynch
ing that occurred in the Rocky Canyon
district the previous night The Meteor
knew nothing of the event until the ri
val papers announced I'm loaded lines that
another horrible crime had been commit
ted In the celebrated Rocky Canyon. A
gentleman, whose name had not been
ascertained, but who was thought to be
a government official, had been found by
members of Jack DoOlan's mining camp
hanging 70 a tree several miles from jim
town. Indications pointed to the escaped
counterfeiters as the perpetrators Of the
deed
For the first time. the Meteor's CORE
spondent at Jimtown was scooped. The
Meteor couldn't understand it, Message
after message, wired TO Bob Long, jim
town, was reported undelivered. The
Meteor's editor grew desperate. Then, as
il neared time for another edition and
no story came of the lynching, he de-
termined to satisfy himself and his read
ers on one point, at least. He sent a
brief message to the operator at Jimtown:

FROM the New \ ork Age.
Some one has asked why we should be
interested in the financial question. Wen
it is just like this; wealth is the power
by which we hope to break down preju-
dice, so any thing that pertains to the
accumulation thereof must necessarily in
terest us. So when we save our earnings
we want TO know that for every dollar
worth we invest or put in bank we can
get 1O0 cents with interest, when we see
fit to do so. With a free and unlimited
coinage of silver we would invest or save
one dollar, and when we wanted our in
vestment get a dollar that is only worth so

were in court as witnesses.
Mrs. McKeon swore that while she

liar and struck her. Witness dropped
the things she was carrying and the de-
fendant bit her finger. She had pre-
viously threatened to throw her down
stairs, and to kill her.
Dolly claimed that Mrs McKeon

pushed her away Then she turned
away and Mrs. McKeon grabbed her
by the throat and she defended her

in that city. 1t was only little over a
week, ago that he was here for several
days attending to cases in the Superior

as counsel or litigant.
In one of these cases he was the
plaintiff in a suit against C. L. White,
local attorney for $4,000 damages
for injuries alleged to have been Sus-
tanned bys him in consequence of an
