False Reports Being Spread in Min
ing Circles.
BLACKMAILERS ARE At WORK
Same Old Underhanded Game Going On to
Retard Opening of Seven Devils.

Washington county's great copper
field has had hard, dreary, uphill
pull against blackmailers and back
cappers who have left no stone un-
turned to bring the camp INTO disre-
pute and prevent the greatest copper
zone in the world from developing
into a competitor in the worlds cop
per market For ten years every
move tending to open the Devils has
been watched and some counter
move made to checkmate and de-
feat the object. At one time an i'm
practicable grade to Snake river is
constructed, steamer is built, an
other railway projected, more steam
ers and many oth.r moves, sand
wiched all the while with adverse
reports by hired backcappers and
blackmailers under the guise OF ex-
perts, and every move has been not
ed by the Signal and exposed.
With the final successful outcome Of
the p. & |. N. and the collapse OF
the Isaac Blake burlesque it was
thought the days of evil doers were
about done as far as Seven Devils
are concerned, but letters recently
received from the east by the Sigma

still at work for his principals ano
that the attempt to down the new
field has not yet been given up, ano
that men under the guise of experts

The Jury in the Case Return Verdict
of Not Guilty.
NEEDED ONLY IS MINUTES.
Is Now a Free Man and Has Sympathy of
People Generally.

Frederick j. Mills, ex-lieutenant
governor of this state, who not long
ago shot and killed Melveney, the
man who tresspassed on the sanctity
of the Mills home and practically
ruined the members of it, was acquit-
ted by jury at Salt Lake last Sat-
urday.
1t only took the jury about ten
minutes to agree on verdict, and
while sentiment everywhere is strongly
opposed to that manner of admins
tering punishment to a person guilty
of such crime as was OMelveney,
it seems to be the consensus of
opinion of all who were familiar with
the case that while Mills did the
shooting, he should be acquitted,
and he has the sympathy Of the peo-
pie of Idaho generally.
Mr. Mills has always borne a good
reputation and he has always filleC
all positions of trust in tins state
with credit to himself and the com
mwealth of Idaho

The Details of a Terrible Kentucky
Tragedy,
THREE PROMINENT MEN DEAD
Leading Citizens Shoot Each Other to Pieces
in Hotel Lobby.

From Frankfort, Kentucky, details
have been received of the shocking
in which the lives of three
prominent men were sacrificed and
that of fourth hangs by slender
thread, while two others miraculous
ly escaped with painful injuries,
which occurred there last week. The
principals in the tragedy were ex-
Congressman David g. Colson of
Middlesboro, and Lieutenant Ethel
bert Scott of Somerset. Scott was
shot six times by Colson and almost
instantly killed
Luther w. Demarree, assistant
postmaster at Shelbyville, an innocent
bystander, was shot three times and
died instantly.
Charles Julian, another bystander,
was shot and died an hour later
Captain B. B. Golden of Bar
louisville, commonwealth attorney
of the Twenty judicial dis
triet, was shot in the back and is not
expected to survive the night.
Colonel Colson himself was shot
twice in the arm. Harry McEwing
of Louisville was shot in the foot and
w. 0. Ridpatch of Chicago, sustained
a broken leg by the lifeless form of
Scott falling against him as it rolled
down the stairway.
The tragedy is one of the most
sensational ifl the history of the
"dark and bloody ground" The
killing occurred in the lobby Of the
Capitol hotel, the principal hostelry
of the state capital, the room being
well filed at the time with politicians
and others who attended the contests
for state officers before the legisla-
{ ture.
The witnesses to the affair were
r taken so much by surprise when the
g shooting began that most Of them
were almost panic-stricken and there
: are many conflicting stories as TO how
| the fight began.
| Colonel Colson and party of
: friends, among whom was Demarree,
were sitting in the lobby engaged in
r conversation as Scott and Captain
] Golden came up the stairs from the
e bar room, walking in the direction Of
4 Colson. The latter, it is said, half
4 rising from his chair, fired at Scott,
: who instantly returned the fire. The
shooting then became general and
t bystanders were at variance as to the
s number engaged in it, Demarree
= was standing slightly in front of Col
e son, and young Scott is said to have
crouched behind him to ward off bull
a lets from Colson's revolver. In an
instant Demarree fell dead, pierced
by three bullets.
Captain Golden, who accompanied
4 Scott, reeled to one side, falling in
:. TO the arms of Ex-Governor James
r b. McCreary, exclaimed 81 am shotl'
: The smoke in the locality of the
antagonists became dense, but Col

Il brought A into action.
r Scott by this time had been shot
Il several times, and as be staggered
n back and fell down the stairway, Col
son, who was within few feet Of
him, continued the fire until the

his ability to complete what he has

these powerful foes will not be able

as it is by the undeveloped millions
of natural wealth of the country, and
the p. & l. N. will move right on,
