ahead, reaching the mine first.
The way to the mine led up rather
steep hill and when within about 100
yards from the mine Judge Timmony
who was In the front, began TO reel
and then fell TO the ground, face down
ward. Young Cherry, seized with an
awful fear called to his father wildly
and then went 10 the postrate man.
Judge Timmony was unconscious and
HIS face had become SO purple that II
was unacceptable and his breathing
was so faint that II was almost inn
perceptible. Judge Cherry held the dy-
ing mans head and ernest efforts were
made to restore him TO consciousness
but they were futile. The form grew
cold and stiff In their arms and 80
strong was the spell OF grief upon them
that no one spoke word for long
space They finally drew themselves
together and carried the remains to the
cabin. Judge Cherry then made his
way to Wasatch and telephoned the
startling news TO the police station.
Four miners carried the body to the

GRANGE SHOOTING
AT HUNTSVILLE
!, abraham, Bishops Counselor, Mystic
y ,..yKiIled After Leaving Meeting Last
Tragedy a Great Shock.

The tragedy was so sudden and
shocking that friends Of the dead man
have not been able TO fully realize what
has taken place. II Is not known who
did the killing, In fact no one seems TO
be suspected. All that seems TO be
definitely known Is that the tragedy has
occurred, and that someone saw a
crowd OF hoodlums with revolvers a
block or more distant just before the
shooting. There was, II is thought. two
reyolyers in the crowd which was made
up OF young men. They were seen by
q woman who, however, does not know
any OF them.
A careful inquiry into the AFFAIR v
being conducted and every effort VIII
be made to bring the guilty to justice
though from the present outlook the
Identity of Mr.. Graham's slayer may
never be disclosed II is thought the
gang Of hoodlums has become so
thoroughly frightened that II will en-
deavor to its utmost 20 keep the af-
fair secret The idea that Mr. Graham
was killed by an enemy Is secuted as
he is believed to have had no difficulty
or misunderstanding with any man,
sufficiently grave TO have led up TO such
tragic ending. At best the affair is
very ugly mystery.

sary power and the personal courage
and tenacity Of purpose to carry out
his plans He fought blackmail until
he had practically stopped it, and he
promoted and removed men without re-
gard to color, creed or politics. He re-
signed in April, 1897, to become assist
ant secretary of the navy.
Theodore Roosevelt was appointed
assistant secretary of the navy April
10, 1897.
HOW HE SHOOK UP THE NAVY.
He brought to the duties of the office
a great interest in the work as well as
closely studying and mastering his
work which had characterized him in
other fields. He also brought to the
position some of his startling methods
and again proved himself "a storm
CENTER" a name he had already been
given and to which he has earned bet
ter title in each succeeding year.
In the fall Of 1897 he was detailed to
inspect the feet gathered at Hampton
Roads, and he kept the commanders
and their jackies in a fernent for a
week. Whenever he thought of a drill
he would like to see he ordered it. The
crews were called to night quarters,
and all sorts Of emergency orders were
given at all sorts of hours. When the
assistant secretary came back to Wash
ington to report, he had mastered some
Of the important details of the situa-
ton at least.
During his rather brief connection
with the department Mr.. Roosevelt was

purchase of auxiliary vessels after war
was actually declared When guns had
been fired in actual warfare and the in

I upon, Mr.. Roosevelt resigned to take
part with the land forces in that cam
paign.
He had brought about the purchase
Of many guns, much ammunition and
large stores Of provisions for the navy.
He had secured great increase in the
amount of gunnery practice. He had
hurried the work on the new ships
and had the old ones repaired. He
had caused every vessel TO be supplied
with coal to her full capacity and had
the crew of every ship recruited to its
full strength. His services were fully
recognized by Secretary Long, who
thanked him in letter full of appre-
citation when he left his place in the
navy department. Mr.. Roosevelt was
urged to remain in his place by many
of the most prominent newspapers Of
the country, who believed that his serv-
ices there would be of great value in
the approaching struggle.

would resume his duties, but when the
torrid weather of midsummer came the
patient failed perceptibly, and, al
though it was done at great hazard,
he was removed on Sept. 6, 1881, by
special train to Elberon, N. ]. The in

poisoning were discovered, and on the

dull periods. He has lived earnestly or,
to use his own phrase, strenuously.
Theodore Roosevelt was born Oct. 20,
1858, at % East Twentieth street, New
York city. His father, also Theodore
Roosevelt, was a member of an old
New York Dutch family, and the new
president is of the eighth generation
of the stock in the United States. Min
gled with the Dutch in Theodore Roose-
velt's veins are strains of English, Celt-
ic and French. His mother was Miss
Martha Bulloch and came Of a distin-
guished Georgia family which had CIV
en- to that state a governor, Archibald
Bulloch, in Revolutionary times. In
later generation a member of the fam
lily built the Confederate privateer Ala
bama.
The father of the president was q
merchant and importer of glassware.
During the civil war he was a noted
figure in New York. He had great
strength of character and q liking for
practical beneyolence which made him
foremost in many such charities. News
boys lodging houses, the allotment sys-
TEN, which permitted soldiers during
the war to have portions Of their pay
sent to their families, and other forms
Of direct help to the poorer classes
found in him a champion. His ances-
tors had been aldermen, judges Of the
supreme court of the city and rep
resentatives in the national congress.
In Revolutionary times New York
chose a Roosevelt to act with Alexan-
der Hamilton In the United States
constitutional convention. Roosevelt
street, New York, was once COW path
on the Roosevelt farm, and the Roose-
welt hospital is the gift of a wealthy
member of recent generation of the
family.
AS child the Roosevelt who was to
rise to such high place in the nation
was puny and backward. He could
not keep up with bis fellows either in
study or play and on this account was
taught by private tutor at home.
The country residence of the Roose-
velts was at Oyster Bay, N. Y, and
here the children were brought up.
They were compelled by their father to
take plenty of outdoor exercise, and
young Theodore, soon realizing that he
must have strength of body if he was
to do anything in life, entered into the
scheme for the Improvement of his
physical condition with the same en-
thusiasm and determination which
have characterized every act of his life.
