DEATH OF CAPT. G. A. JACKSON.
Well Known Mining Man is Acct.

Word was received in this CITY yes

well known mining operator, was either

Captain Jackson is the brother of
Mrs. G w. Heidel of this city, and
yesterday she received a Geographic
message which made the announce
lnent that the captain had been shot
by some one while out alone in the
mountains on horseback. or that he had
accidentally shot himself
Captain Jackson has mined extern

RADIO. He has been quite an operator
III Bingham IN the past, and had
large circle of acquaintanceS in Utah.
During the past year or so he has been
mining in the Blue mountains, in the
San Juan countr--, where he is inter-
ested in the Golden Dream mine, on
which he has a five-stamp mill, and it
was his intention, as stated last week,
Friday, in these columns, to erect a
z0-stamp plant on the ground in the
spring.
1t is learned that in the Blue mount
aims there is a very laWleSS element,
and that that locality is the rallying
place of all the reckless characters in
southeastern lIdn, southwestern OOlO-
RADIO and upper Arizona, and that if a.
person IS known TO have money there
he is lucky if he is able to keep it;
or, if he incurred the enmitv of the
Gang, he had better leave the country.
It was but a short time ago that Cap
tain Jackson wrote to ex-Sheriff Will
liam McQreen. of this city, with the
request that an officer of the law be
sent down there, as it was getting
tough" to much so. in fact, for the
good OF the country. Mr.. Mcqueen

It IS now believed that the toughs
were after the captain, and that they
shot him unawares.

be received within a day

The fact that Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons were about to enter the ring al
Carson City yesterday at the hour for
t.e morning call on the floor of the
Stock Exchange did not have a tend
ency to increase the interest taken in
the transactions in the pit, and the
call was void of any special attrac-
lions.
A handful of brokers were present at
the call. and in the lobby, but half a
dozen spectators were present, and the
proceedings were hurried through with
as rapidly as possible.
The listed stocks scored a whitewash
as far as sales were concerned, and in
the biddings and offerings many of
them were neglected. Ajax, which has
been on the list as a favorite for the
past few days, was weak and slumpy
and was quoted very low. Bullion
Beck held its own in the offerings
with a noticeable decline in the
bids. DAILY and Daily West were ig-
nored, and the latter failed to draw out
a bid Galena was practically un-
changed, and the same could be said
of Geyser, which, however, was quite
active in the demand. Mercur was
strong at 81 in the bidding, with offer
ings at SIS. Mammoth was the sub
ject of bear attack and is on the
decline. and it is the general believe
among the brokers that this stock will
fall again until it RECEIVERS in the vicin-
ity of the $50 mark. Geyser- Marion

zens Of the district. 1t is that the
road back of the White House grounds
be restored to its former function as
a public thoroughfare. 1t is part OF
the Presidents grounds and is subject
to his orders. Up to within the last
four years 1t has always been open to
the use of the public. During the ex-
cepted period the grounds were given
over to the use of the Cleveland chill

During the past administration the
only times the grounds were opened

YAneis y. Rhodes-
St. Louis. No., March 1S.-The Unit
ed States Circuit Court Of Appeals has
furnished the first judicial interpreta-
tion Of the words ''in line Of duty" a.
applied to injuries received or disabii-
tiles contracted in the military or na-
val service of the United States The
court virtually decides that disabilities
contracted in the service are not pen
sionable unless the service was the
cause Of the disease and not merely
coincident with II In time. The ef-
feet OF this decision will doubtless be
to revolutionize the established prac-
tice of the United States pension ONCE
at Washington. Francis NJ. Rhodes
made application for a pension for ca
tarrhal ophthalmia, alleged to have
been contracted in the service of the
United States during the late war. He
was allowed a pension of 81 a month,
which, by dint OF successive Increase,
reached the princely figure of 500 per
month. 1t was then discovered that
he had the disease befo;e he entered
the service, and his name was dropped
from the pension rolls. The govern
ment then brought suit in the United
States Circuit Court for this district to
recover the amounts paid Rhodes at
quarterly intervals. and aggregadng
the sum Of 50, ,4S7.4O. There was a nu-
merous array OF witnesses on the 9TH
er side, but the jury found for the gov
enment and the court rendered judg-
ment for the full amount claimed.
Rhodes appealed and the United
States Court of Appeals afiirms the
lower court. Justice Sanborn, who
rendered the opinion, ayiong other
things, says: ''Neither injury nor dis
ease can authorize the grant of pen
sion under the acts of Congress unless
1t is caused by the presence Of it's vic
tim In the line of duty when It was

man who, by smooth tongue and slick
ways, gets worthy people into his
clutches to be bunkoed, robbed or
murdered. Conspicuous In his class
Just now is Butler, the Australian null
ti-murderer. who was recently captured
in San Francisco on board the Swan
hilda. While on the vessel he was
known In sailor parlance as an angel
sailor" He used NO bad language and
objected to any coarse or profane ex-
pressions being used by his shipmates.
One day at mess. when sailor rudely
snatched a piece Of bread from the
hand of another. Butler. who valued
human life as cheaply as that OF snat.
was so outraged at this breach Of table
etiquette that. after glaring angrily at
the offender, he remarked that he had
once killed a negro In West Australia
for less oHense than that. Alto
gether this man, who lured his victims
to the mountains and made them dig
their own graves. was much too nice
to associate with the herd Of common
sailors he shipped with. Beware of con-
