FACTORIES CLOSED DOWN.
Five Thousand Operatives Out Of En-
ployment at Quebec.

Quebec. Nov. 16.-Twenty boot and
shoe factories in this city have closed
down. The shutdown is due to trou-
BILE with the machinists who have re-
fused to abide by al agreement, made
in 1901, creating a Cancellation board.
The specific complaint on which &C
ton was taken was that of four ma
chinists who left the Marsh factory
because they were refused an increase
of wages, without submitting the de-
mand to the arbitration commission.
The manufacturers will no longer
recognize the shoe machinists' union,
but will insist upon individual con
tracts. Five thousand operatives are
affected by the shutdown.

Sudden Death of A.
C.. Cleveland.

A. G. Cleveland died at his home in
White Pine county Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Cleveland was one of the best
known Nevadans, and it has often been
said that he had more personal friends
than any other man living.
He was generous, whole-souled man, a
loyal friend and a bitter enemy. He
gained a fortune by work and sacrifices
that would have discouraged the aver
age man, aud his life is part OF the his
tory of Nevada. He was man whom
his friends delighted TO honor and their
confidence in him was never discredited.
Mr.. Cleveland wac power in politics.
and one year ago was the Republican
candidate for Governor.
Mr.. Cleveland was born in Maine
about CO years ago. AT the age of II he
started fer California on the Star OF the
West, the boat that was the fret fired
upon by The rebels in the war of the Re-
bellion. After some years spent in min
ing in California he went into the stock
raising business in Plumas county. AT
ter a year or two at this he resumed
mining and 10 1865 he was engaged in
the lumber business near Carson City,
having built one of the first V fumes

ber-it was constructed from Simcnds'
place at the head of Little Valley and
ending at Lakeview. His was the de-
Gliding vote in the Winters Blaisdel con
test for the nomination for Governor in
1866. Two years later he was elected to
represent Washoe county in the Assem-
bly,, and later moved to Hamilton, White
Pine county. He was married to Mise

Will be Tried for a
Brutal Murder.

Four members of desperate gang of
robbers who have been operating on
trains running out OF Lovelock for some
weeks was arrested by Sheriff Lam5 of
Winnemucca last Thursday. They give
the names OF Fred Roberts, John F.
Leaner, I. f. German and Frank Will
liams.
These men boarded two freight trains
near Oreana, 10 miles east of Lovelock,
aud robbed all the men found riding on
the trains Then they beat them up and
threw them off the moving trains.
Patrick Welch of Palisade was shot
three times, once in the back. once in
the left forearm, aud in the left leg. He
died at the county hospital at Winnie
mucca last Thursday night.
The prisoners were taken to Winnie
mucca and were taken two at time in
to the room in which Welch lay dying.
German and Roberts, the latter mere
boy, were brought into the room first.
Welch, who was very weak but perfectly
conscious, was first asked il he knew

where they dared everything and feared

work they gave the East the material

German. Looking at him intently for a
moment he said: "Yes, you we're one of
the men that robbed me, but you did not
shoot me-" When asked the same qnes-
ton as to Roberts, Welch's eyes lighted
up at once with recognition and he ex
claimed, "Yes; you shot me; you know
you shot me-" As his accuser uttered
these words Roberts was the picture OF
abject fear. His face paled and his body
shook like one suffering with ague. Next
Sevner and Williams were brought in
and Welch identified both of them as
having taken part in the robbery and as
sault and the latter as one of the men
who shot him.
To test bis mental condition Welch
was also asked if he knew others. in the
room and his replies were correct in each
instance.
The Identification of the four prison
ers made by the dying man was COM
plete and left no doubt in the minds OF
any those present that the culprits were
the guilty ones.
The handouts were again put on the
prisoners and they were bundled into

in the inner cells.

examination before Justice Maris and
were bound over on tho charge OF rob-

SUMNER OUTINGS FOR
THE WASHINGTON POOR
Secretary Weller, OF the Associated
Charities, Describes Work.

The committee on summer charities
of Washington is doing good work. -
said Charles F. Weller, secretary OF the
Associated Charities today, but to ac-
complish the summer work of Washing
ton much more money and help is
needed. To be sure, washington does
not suffer as badly as some cities, but
here and there is a locality which
is as bad as in any city. For example,
there are 279 interior alleys in the city.
some of them almost inaccessible, and
most OF them never open to public
view. At some places there are as
many as 300 and 400 people to the
square One of these districts is
bounded by Ninth and Tenth and NJ and
n Streets, one of the worst is between
and o and Fourth and Fifth Streets.
THE summer outing committee, the
chairman of which is John Joy Edison.
is trying to alleviate these conditions.
Two methods are adopted; first, there
is an outing fund from which money
is taken to send roor women and chill
dren on street car rides, or picnics, or
send them for day In the country. One
thousand four hundred dollars will be
spent in that way this summer. Next
year a fund of at least $500 is desired;
with this, in addition to excursions and
picnics. a permanent summer camp
will be established where children can
go and spend a week or more Also.
