farm hand, were brutally assaulted bv
a tramp. George Allen and Albright
will die. The physicians say that
there is but little hope for the recoy
cry of Mrs. Graves and that the con-
dition of Mr.. Graves is very serious.
The tramp appeared at Mrs. Graves
door and asked for a drink of water
and food and for permission to sleep
in the barn. Graves sent young Allen
with him to the barn. The boy car
ried the light. When outside the
tramp grasped his arm, took the light
from him and threw him down. after

him with ropes which he had at hand
Aiming himself with a Ratchet the
tramp went to the barn and attacked
Albright, fracturing his skull. The
tramp then returned to the boy ne had

Ratchet. On returning to the house
the tramp attacked Graves, who was
armed with a 80 calibre revolver.

missing him both times. The tramp
wrenched the pistol from Graves and
fired one shot into his breast. When
Graves fell to the floor the tramp
bound him and struck him two heavy
blows on the head with the Ratchet,
rendering him unconscious.
Mrs. Graves, in another room of the
house, heard the shots and came to
the rescue of her husband. The tramp
felled her with blow from his hatchet
and beat her into Inconsistencies.

HE MET PECULIAR DEATH.
Fatal Current Passed Through An
theirs Body.

There was an extraordinary accident
near Livermore, Cal, recently, in
which one man lost his life and an
other was seriously hurt. Michael
Toohey and l.. M. Mechanism, linemen
in the employ of the Standard Electric
company, were out inspecting wires
and stepped into a telephone booth on
the road to telephone to another point
Mechanism was using the telephone
and stood on the flooring of the booth.
Toohey stood outside of the little
structure, his feet resting on the
ground made damp by a recent show
er. Toohey, in a friendly fashion
placed his hands on the shoulders of
his comrade, while the latter was talk
ing. Suddenly Mechanism was strick-
en- down, stunned, and when he recov-
cred consciousness he found Toohey
lying dead at the door of the booth.
An explanation of the death is given
by the fact that the power wires and
the telephone wire are strung on the
same poles. 1t is believed that a
strong current was passed to the tele-
phone wire went through Mechanism
and centered it's force In Twohey,
whose feet, touching the wet ground,
completed the circuit. Toohey was Is
years old. Mechanism will recover.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week says: Seasonable winter wealth
er, hitherto conspicuously lacking, has
come very much into evidence with
the result of expanding retail trade in
winter goods, rubbers and wearing
apparel generally. Killing frosts have
about put a period to the marvellous
fall season of 1902. Dairy products
and produce generally are higher.
Wheat crop has gone into winter quar-
tiers, with a fair covering of snow in
northern ATTITUDES and with a very
generally satisfactory condition ruling
throughout much of the admittedly
very large acreage.
Wool is strong and active, and still
tends higher, while the manufacturers
are busy on orders. Shoes are in bet
ter demand at retail and with jobbers,
but manufacturers are quiet yet,
Hides are rather weaker as the re-
ceipts increase, but desirable leather
is firmly held.

MINES AND MINING NEWS
MANY OF THE MINES nv THE
NORTHWEST PROGRESSING.
Items of Interest of a Miscellaneous
Nature Gathered During the Past
Week-New Districts Brought to
the Front-Many Mining Accidents
and Personals.

Recent events have given ground for
the belief that the result of the nego-
tiations now in progress on the coal
miners strike will be the ultimate
sale of the properties Of the individual
companies to the large coal carrying
companies. This will not be done at
once, but it is regarded here as GER
tain to come in the not distant future
because it is believed to be the only
solution Of the present situation and
is the outcome which both the indie
pendents and the large companies de-
sire. 1t is estimated that the colleries
OF the 67 Independent operators can
be purchased for $145,000,000. These
plants produce three tenths of the to-
tai output of coal.

10.-On November l the Samoans, at

ings. Then fire was seen to burst
forth from several of the mountain
peaks and the people fed in terror to
places they considered were safe.
These extinct volcanoes, now active,
are toward the west of SaVaii.

Caracas, Venezuela, says: The com
bined British and German fleet has
seized the Venezuelan fleet, composed
of four warships, in the harbor of La
Guayra 1t is reported also that an
ultimatum would be delivered soon
asking for answer and a compliance
with the demand OF the British and
German ministers. All German and
British subjects in Caracas are under
arrest"
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE arrests of
the British and German subjects in
Caracas are believed to be in the ma
ture of retaliation for the ultimatum
which has been sent to Venezuela for
a settlement of the long standing
claims of Germany and England
against her. Incidentally such action
by Venezuela will, it is said, involve
this government as the German and
British representatives in Venezuela
before leaving Caracas requested Unit
ed States Minister Bowen to take
charge OF their interests in Venezuela.
1t was said at the state edartpment
that this request would be granted,
and the probabilities are that Minister
Bowen has already taken steps tWard
that end. Considerable surprise is ex-
pressed here over the arrests, as the
result will be to add to the serious
complications already existing.
