DALY'S EARLY DAYS.
where the Millionaire and HIS Bride
Spent Their Honeymoon.


Marcus DAILY at the time of his recent
death could draw his check for mil
lions, owned many blooded race horses
and magnificent residences, yet it may
we'll be doubted that he was as happy
as in the olden days when he dwelt
with his young bride in little clap
boarded cabin among the mountains of
Utah. He was only a poor prospector
then, with very little money and
mighty slim prospects of getting any.
but he lived there nearly two years
and worked his mining claims early
and late until he went entirely broke.
The offer of a foremanship in Montana
carried him away from his tiny home
forever, but he fully intended to return
to work his claims again.
In after years when he had accumu-
lated millions of dollars i'm mining and
other pursuits Daily never forgot the
lessons he learned in the little cabin.
1t is recorded of him that up to his
death he used to leave his bed at half
past 6 and begin his work as early as
any clerk in his employ. If ever a man
earned the title of self made Marcus
DAILY was that man. He was born in
New York and drifted to San Fran
cisco at Is. The first occupation of the
multimillionaire was digging potatoes,
and though it nearly broke his back he
stuck to it for three weeks. Then he
struck out for the mines as a prospect
or and soon developed wonderful abil-
ity as a mining expert
While he was only a poor miner he
married, and by a strange coincidence
his wife's sister is the wife of the
brother of Days bitterest enemy, Will
liam A. Clark. 1t is told by the people
of the vicinity that DAILY revisited his
old cabin about a year before his death.

The Two Lords Held.

The preliminary hearing OF Harry and
Edgar Lord, the former charged with
numbering Joseph S. Hess, and the latter
charged with being an accessory in the
crime, took place before justice Byers
Friday morning.
There were nine witnesses examined
for the State. viz: DR.. VIM. T. Henshaw.
George Hess, Ben Nicodemus, George
Mason, Charles Dick, +. M. Hardy, Chas
Mnghini, Goidie and Peter Hess. The
defendants, who were represented by At
torneys Walker and Woods, offered no
evidence.
DR. Henshaw made a statement to the
effect that the post-mortcm examination
had revealed the fact that Hess death
was the result of bullet wound. He
was followed by George, the young son of
the dead man, now in his fourteenth year.
Besides Edgar Lord, he was the only wit
ness to the shooting ARRAY. When the
lad first took the stand and the lawyers
began questioning him about the shoot
ing affray and about his dead father, he
broke down and tears rolled down his
cheeks. The examination was stopped

WORLD representative to the effect that
Edgar Lord had acknowledged to him
that he had a revolver in his hand and
that he told his brother to give it to
him."
The other evidence was of no particu-
lar interest The State only offered what
