Jasper NJ. White, a timberman, and
erstwhile landlord Of the Memphis
Outing Clubhouse on Blacklist lake,
in this comfy, was shot to death Mon
day by r. b. Sproles, who is also tim
herman. The shooting occurred Mon
day morning about s O'Clock, the weap-
on used being 1856 Winchester rifle.
The victim lived about five hours
after being shot. There was but one
shot fred. The bullet entered the
head at the temple and came out at or
near the opposite eye, After the
shooting Sproles returned to his home,
up the lake, and, according to his state
ment, informed his family Of what had
happened, and stated that he intended
to surrender to the sheriff, which he
did Tuesday, when Deputies Landrum
and Murphree went after him. lie
was brought to this city and gwen his
liberty under guard.
Sproles stated to TIMES man, that
on the morning of the tragedy he was
EN- route to his daily work ; that he
had to pass near Whites house, and
that he stopped there to confer with
his lSproles) son about matter of
taking his wife up the lake in dugout.
That while there White came out and
said What are you fellows looking
for, the grindstone and clothes line
that Sproles says stole ?" Sproles de-
med that he had said that White had
stolen a grindstone. A quarrel en-
sued, and White finally said |" Pm
going to get my gun. and kill you
scoundrels. " Sproles demonstrating
with him said =" wouldn't do that,
if were you, )" etc.; that White went
into the house, seized a gun: that his
wife disarmed him, and begged him to
desist; that White had two guns, and
that he seized second this being also
taken from him, he again seized the
first, and made his way to the door.
AS he emerged with I the gun half
raised, Sproles' Winchester awoke the
forest and Jasper White was no more.
The above is the substance of Sproles
statements to the writer. He has "A
wife and six children at home, and
and one or more who are married.
White leaves wife and two children.

Extra Lateral Rights.

Whether the outcropping OF the vein OF
eNtra.lateral rights, is another preliminary
question To be answered. The whole sub.
Jet Is one too little known among mining
people. Almost the last decision Of the
late Chiei Justice Field was on this point;
II was in the highest degree revolutionary
In its bearing upon common western
usageS. a word to explain this: Mining
claims In this country ATE IN the form OF
parallelograms, fifteen hundred feet long
and varying In width from six hundred
feet in Montana To three hundred feet IN
Colorado-even one hundred and fifty feet
in some countries of this latter state.
Prior to Chief Justice Fields decision, the
miner followed down the vein he had dis.
covered, whilhersoever II took him under
the side boundary line OF his neighbor's
claim. This was his extra lateral rights.
u AS vein enters across side line and
goes out across orly one end line, B's
lateral boundary is the one ne plus ultra
OF AS delNing. The whole question OF
extra lateral rights is extremely intricate
and is the cause OF much mining trouble.
| strongly advocate the adoption OF a law
like that OF Canada, where the claim is
square, fifteen hundred feet on every side,
and where there are no extra lateral rights.
This is fair to everybody and gives the
discoverer OF a vein ample opportunity to
develop it within the strict boundaries of
his own claim. In South Africa the claims
are always sQuare.-C. N. Dobson in

OUR FORUr1
Cranks and Patience.

Editor Representative: For nearly
score of years I have been carefully
reading your writings and have watched
the ceaseless attacks on you by cranks
from all walks OF life and have marvel
ed at your patience and evident desire
to give every man credit for the most
that was in him. True, you have
fought back when your enemies so far
forgot the rights of truth and justice
that they would barter them for an Of
flee or for a handful of gold, and for
such well deserved drubbings" l want
to thank you, but in doing so want to
ask why you so quietly submit to the
impudence of fools or knaves who so
continuously deluge you with sickly
twaddle, socialistic and anarchistic
slush.
Is it possible you simply consider the
source and trust to the good sense of
your readers to sift the wheat from the
tares? If so, the excuse is creditable to
your heart but reflects on your intellect.
When A. Bretz winds up his screed in
the issue of June 26 with the following
piece of rot, viz:
Zone more question and I am done.
What you and Mr.. Barker, if elected to
the high offices you aspire to, would
do to, give employment, subsistence
and comfortable homes to the unem-
ployed victims of improved machinery,
does not appear in the columns of your
paper, or in our platform, hence we ask
in behalf of the unemployed, what Pop
ulism would do for them should it OBJ
tain under the jurisdiction of Barker,
Donnelly and Populist congress-
"A. BRETT"
1t seems to me that you ought to have
looked for the waste basket instead of
inflicted pain on many of your readers
and surely injuring your own standing
in the minds of casual readers by pub
fishing the stuff.
BY inference, many will think you are
opposed to Introduction of improved
machinery" that you are idiotic enough
to believe that subsistence and COM
:
Portable homes" can be guaranteed to
all men by legislative enactments, re-
CARELESS Of whether one works, econ
omizes and uses ordinary horse sense"
in business affairs Or not, and thus be-
lieving will vote against you and also
condemn Populists generally for tolerat-
ing such teachings AND for allowing peo-
pie who talk such s Ttaa to train in their
ranks.
Again, Mr.. A. T. D. Austin sticks the
dirk" into you by getting you to pub
lish his TRADE agaipgsat interest. When
Austin says:
Interest for the use of money between
citizens is usurpation, the citizen who
practices it is usurer, and in no way
deserves the countenance of honest peo-
pie.
Hoping, Brother Dodge, that Barker
and Donnelly may reach their destina-
ton and right the wrong Of the money
question, interest for the use of money
between citizens will be known no
more"

and give it to the poor? Where is the
man brave enough, when smitten upon
one cheek, to turn the other? There is
no red anarchist today whose deeds can
compare with William McKinley's
slaughtering of men, women and child
rem in the Philippines. AS an anarchist
too frequently misconstrued, l wish to
add my protest against murder In any
form, even though it be done by a blue
coated sOlidery, a policeman's club or a
crazy anarchist.
