Skull Crushed by a "Car Mover"
In the Hands of Unknown
Assassin Formerly Lived
In Florence.

the yard foreman at the steel works,
who was murdered while asleep
shortly after midnight Thursday. was
killed by blows from an appliance
known as a car-mover, and not with a
shovel Yesterday a car mover. the
heavy end smeared with blood and
covered with hair, was found not tar
from the spot where the dastardly
crime was committed. The discovery
of this is considered conclusive evil
bringing about Masterson' untimely
end. Coupled with the finding of the
car mover is the result of post NOR
tum examination held yesterday,
which concluded with the decision
that blunt instrument was used by
the assassin. The car mover is made
of wood and iron and can be easily
welded by one man. A blow from
it would produce fracture of the
skull, and it is generally accepted that
the one found yesterday was used in
the killing of the yard foreman
The question now uppermost in the
minds of those directly interested in
the capture of the murderer is, I'm

about 80 O'Clock in the morning
when the superintendent Lad occasion
to speak to Masterson about the work
that WAS being done by the latter's 8

gang. Inquiry of the men failed to
bring out the whereabouts of their
foreman, but in examining the sur

sons lantern sitting on an unfinished
wall of the soaking pit. The wall
is about fifteen feet high. Gardner
supposed that the foreman had fallen
asleep after eating his midnight lunch
and failed % waken at O'Clock.
With this impression, he instructed
one of the workmen to go up and
arouse him. The man. who is a Ser

several unsuccessful attempts failed

Gardner shouted, whats the matter,

BIG GUN HUNTING

1t was in 1889 that l reached St. Paul
de Loando, on the African coast" said
sailor to me the other day, and when
l hau been there for couple of weeks
a British survey steamer came in to
fill up her crew. She had been survey
ing up the Congo and was bound south
TO the great Fish river. The steamer
carried forty men all told and was out
fitted with two Eine-pounde-s and plen-
ty of small arms. She had lost five
men up the Congo by fever and when
offered myself | was at once taken.
We were a week working up to the
forks of the great Orange river, and
then the fun began. The Great Fish.
for about 100 miles above the forks, is
about as wide as the Hudson, with a
depth of from four to seven fathoms.
There never was an hour in the day
that we couldn't see elephants. lions
or rhinoceroses along the shores. The
officers had their rifles and were al
ways popping away. and now and then
they LANDED for a days hunt and al
ways had great luck.
We had been steaming slowly up
stream for about ten days before the
river narrowed to about half it's former
width, and then we began to have
firearms, but they could hull lances or
shoot arrows from the banks to the
steamer. and we had to be on the dodge
all the time.
"One day. when the fringe of forest
along the right bank suddenly ended
and gave place TO a long stretch of
grassy plain, we came to anchor and
three of the survey men landed to stir
up a big rhinoceroS who could be seen
standing under a tree half a mile back
from the water. They were young fell
lows and full of daring. and l heard
the captain caution them when they
left the steamer.
We could see all that subsequently
took place. The old rhino had never
seen a steamer before and had no fear
of them. He just stood there in the
shade bows on to US and didn't trouble
to figure out what might happen. The
three men separated on landing to get
in the rear of the big beast and cut off
his escape, but he wasn't thinking of
running away. He let two of the men
creep up till within range and it SEEM
ed to us as if we heard the thud of
their bullets when they struck against
his thick hide. They were ounce bull
lies. driven by big charges of powder.
but they might we'll have been fired
against a stone wall. The rhino gave
a start as they struck him and then
GOWN went his head and up went his
tail and he charged at the men who
was creeping head on.
1.-The surveyors had made a mess of
the thing, and there was bound to be
calamity. They had taken the rhino
for noodlehead, whereas he knew his
business TO a dot. The man at whom he
charged had no cover. except here and

from 300 to 500 feet deeper than any

the ore being taken out is far richer

DEFINITION OF A LEDGE
Judges Decide That 1t Is Gold Bear.
ing Formation.

The hair splitting definitions of what
constitutes a ledge of gold bearing
quartz has received a temporary uuie-
tuS at least by several decisions of
Judge Hawley of the United States cir
cult court, which is also in line with
similar opinions delivered by Justice
Field while on the bench of the supreme
court of the United States. Both these
jurists had spent portions of their lives
among the miners on the YubaS in
California and We're as familiar with
veins and assures as most men. The
definition of these eminent mining law
yers is that a ledge is any formation
within which the miner might reason
ably expect to find gold and outside of
which he could not reasonably expect
to find ore.
This last, of course, would be the
country rock, where the miner would
be out of his ledge. These judges in
sist that tile law was made for miners
and not for biologists, and the word
ledge" in law meant what was under
stood by the word in ordinary untech-
meal language. This construction of
Il statuary term is not new. for it has
been generally adopted in America in
the construction of all statutes.
According to the foregoing decisions
it makes no difference whether the lode
formation is narrow or whether the
rock is rich or poor. So long as the
| miner is willing to spend money in
prospecting it the law will protect him
in making his location. No one can
doubt but that this was the interprita-
ton intended to be given to our mining
laws by those who drafted the statutes
and who, in many instances, were
themselves practical miners.-legislat-

AT THE EUREKA.
Superintendent Gilmore of the Eureka
came to jerome Thursday to replace
the tools and blacksmith shop which
had been washed away, and reports
that it was the most severe storm he
had ever experienced in the mountains.
He says that they have run through
nearly twenty feet of the rich ore shoot
encountered in the main tunnel on the
Eureka, and that a station has been cut
where the shoot comes up and the work
of sinking a 100 foot Wine had been
started. At depth of so feet another
station will be cut and drifts run along
the ledge in both directions. The prop
erty, he says. is looking better with
each foot of work. He took with him
sacks in which the ore will be shipped
to the smelter. If evenly indication
which surrounds this splendid property
does not prove deceptive, the directors
feel that the returns from the sale of
their ore will more than develop the
group.
