ONLY BUSY MEN HAVE

4 member of the school council Of

men who are very busy were pre-
ferred, it being the CONSENSUS Of
opinion that they would devote
more time to the work than others. -
The member who said this is Il

of man. 1t Is worthy of man so
busy that he has time to think
What is true of II library board is
also true of any other public or
quasi-public board or committee.
Habitual leisure is II result, not of
conditions or chance environment,
but of mans qualities and character
istics. 1t is an unnistakable symp-
ton of inherent lazincss.
The man who is not busy with
affairs of his own will not get busy
with affairs Of the public.
The handspring of enthused energy
that is weak in the one case will be
weak in the other.
There is an impression that to ac-
quire fitness for a library board II
man must lead a life of leisure
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The man of leisure is not fit
for anything. Even the wide read
ing that makes a full man. is done
by the men who are busy.

ment inactivity means stagnation,
and stagnation is decay. The man
of leisure is mere rotting driftwOod.
Understanding, Judgement, tact,
intuition, to be true and clear, must
have activity at the fountain head,
just as streams that are purest and
coolest come of never-ceasing
springs.
The life that is not busy is not
wholesome or healthy, mentally.

IdlenesS in itself is u disease that
causes a mans powers of aspiration,
attempt and achievement to atrophy
and rot.
Labor is health. 1t develops,
strengthens and contents the toiler.

Labor alone sets man in the right
attitude toward the rest of the world
and puts him on good terms with
himself.
All men who have acquired that
precious treasure, the habit of indus

mize time. And the more they
value time, use it and economize it,
the more amazingly plentiful it be-
comes.

The above letter, or demand, has led to one
of the greatest tragedies ever witnessed in
this county, or perhaps in the State, as a re.
suit of which three men are now lying dead
and two oshersare, perhaps. seriously or mort.
ally wounded.
From all that we are able to learn at the
of going to press, it appears that after |
serving the above notice on Mr.. Traylor yes |
terday morning, a large delegation Of the |
Miners Union left town on foot for Lane CITY.
where they awaited the arrival Of Mr.. Tray |
When that gentleman and his secretary,
Mr.. Gaskell, came along on their way to the |
mine, the union men stopped them. and asked
the former gentleman, "what he proposed to |
do in regard to adopting their scale of wages"

To this demand he replied, that they had
given him twelve hours in which to consider
the proposition, and that he proposed to take
the time allowed" After this short interview
he was permitted TO go his way unmolested.
But it appears hat several members OF the
union were not satisfied with his reply and
were in favor Of further pressing their de-
mands.
From all we could learn it appears that q
committee Of six men-Wm. Lloyd, j. +.
Smith, Jas. Stages, Sam johnson, Max Lam
bert and John Perry undertook the job Of
going to the,K Keystone and further interviewing
Mr.. Traylor, which they did with the most
appalling results.
According to a statement of one OF the
wounded men, they all entered the office at
the Keystone, where Mr.. Traylor and his
secretary were, at about II o'clock and de-
manded an immediate answer to their over
lures. He informed them that he didn't have
to comply with any demands they made;
whereupon, Stages told him that they would
make it their business to wait upon him and
show him the way out of camp; arose and at
temped to get hold of him; that Traylor and
his secretary without further provocation
opened fired, which resulted in Stages receiy.
ing one bullet in the stomach and another in
the right eye, from which injuries he died be-
| fore reaching town.
Mr.. Smith was the next man to fall, the
bullet penetrating his heart, caused almost
instant death.
Lambert was next shot twice, one bullet
passing through both Of his lips and loosen
ing his teeth, the other SCATTERING his left
shoulder blade, which will necessitate amputa-
ton in order to save his life. We are informed
that he will be taken to Eureka to-day to un-
dergo the operation.
shot all Of the above men.
Sam johnson, who was shot in the left
breast, and received a wound from which he
stands but little show of recovering, says that
Gaskell shot him. The bullet entered just be-
low his heart and came out in the small of his
back on the right side.
Jack Perry also received a wound in the
right shoulder, the bullet entering just below
the shoulder blade. which bone it struck and
g~lancing embedded itself in the flesh, from
which it was easily extracted. He says that
he was shot by Gaskell.
None of the six men had any fire arms on
them when they went into the Office, and as
every witness is very ~reticent we are able to
learn only what are purported to be the facts,
and time alone will only tell whether this ter
rible tragedy was justifable or not.

WHAT TRAYLoR A Y

According to the stories of both Mr.. Tray
lor and Mr.. Gaskell, the trouble was brought
about in the following manner:
They both left Ely, as usual, fearing no i'm.
mediate danger, although they had been ex-
pecting something of the sort for some time
past. When they arrived at Lane City they
were stopped by some twenty men, one Of
the bride and demanded them to stop, which
they did. Fearing trouble Mr.. Traylor pull.
ed off the glove from his right hand, reached
into his o~vorcoat pocket, cooked his revolver,
| and holding his hand on it, still in his pocket,
| demanded johnson to release the horse, which
he did, and then both he and Jas. Stages
| started to come near the buggy, when Traylor
| told them not to come any farther, and asked
| them what they wanted. Some of the men
| then asked him what he was going to do in re-
gard to their scale Of wage s, to which he re-
piled: "Your committee has given me twelve
hours. l do not see any of them here, and /
propose to take the full length of time"
Then they told him he might go.
About an hour and a half afterwards he
saw two double-seated rigs approaching the
Keystone, at which place they stopped, just
outside the building. Five of the men-John-
son, Stages, Perry, Lambert and Smith
came into the Office, where Mr.. Traylor and
his secretary were. while Mr.. Lloyed stayed
just outside the door.
Those outside were heard to remark: Bring
1 A. - lo-oI K.1 LII TT -
Wen take care Of him." To which Mr.. LLOYD
replied, SSH up. / am spokesman" and
entered the Office. Standing just inside the
door, he asked Mr.. Traylor: 'Do you recog-
nize the Union!" To this the latter replied,
"No." Then, he says, Lloyd commanded the
men present to grab him, which they pro-
ceeded to do, Stages and Smith attempting to
sieze him. Stages grabbed him by the throat,
forced him into a corner against the wall and
desk. Smith then tried to get hold of him,
and he (Traylor) pulled his revolver, shot
Stages, turned on Smith and shot him, at
which Lloyd ran out of the room. 81 then
shot every man who tried to lay hands on me-, -
said Mr.. Traylor. Turning. then, to those
who remained, he said: l don't thirst for
blood, but Lloyd is the man / wanted"
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
Geskell claims that he never fired a shot.
After things became a little quiet, both
Traylor and Geskell got in their buggy and
started for town. Arriving near Lane City,
they feared again being waylaid, and turn.
cd up the canyon to the Ruth and came to
town by the White River road; giving them.
selves up to the Sheriff.
When it became generally known that
Traylor was in town, pandemonium reigned
for awhile; threats of mobbing and lynching
were made, but no further acts of violence
were attempted, and withal everything is now
quiet and peaceable.
Sheriff Newman, however, feared that some
acts of violence might be attempted, were
the prisoners allowed to remain here deputized

evening with the prisoners for Elko, where
they will be confined awaiting trial.
