MOST UNUSUAL CRIMES.
Two Robberies and Murder on Freight
Train.

Stockton, Gala most unusual rob-
berry and murder was committed re-
Gently on a freight train about five
miles north of this city at what is
known as Castle switch. Three men
boarded the train at some point sew
eral miles north of there, probably at
Gait, as the men had been seer drink
ing in a saloon of that town after
they had quit work on a ranch near
New Hope. The murdered man Is be-
lieved to be A. S. Richards of Ban
croft, Idaho, who, in company with
e. A. Lewis and a negro, started for
San Francisco on the freight train.
Shortly after passing Lodi, Rich
ards is said to have pulled a revolver
and robbed Lewis. who was thrown
from the train and had an arm brok-
en-. The negro Is credited with parti-
cipating in this robbery, and it is be-
lieved that Richards failed to divide
the spoils with the colored man, who
turned on his companion and, after
robbing him, threw him from the train.
Richards fell under the car wheels
and his body was cut into several
pieces. Coroner Southworth was in
formed and took charge of the case.
The negro disappeared and, although
several officers have been searching
for him, up to a late hour he had not
been located.

slackens for the above reason. but al
sc because OF low water In streams or

ously encouraging factors noted.
Prices, all things considered, show.
ed marked s~teadiness, confirming re
ports OF closely held supplies.
Seasonable quietness does not affect

permits issued at leading cities. is
likely TO be active next spring. Petro-
leum is at the highest point In years.

1t is reliably reported that Charles
Sweeny is negotiating to buy the Sill
yer King and the DAILY West lead
mines in Utah for the Federal Mining
company. FOR this purpose and the
acquiring of other properties the cap
ital of the Federal company will be
increased to $4,000, 900.
This move will put the Federal COM
pany in position to control the lead
market, as it will have 70 per cent of
the lead output of the United States.
Negotiations have progressed to such
a point that w. Clayton Miller was
sent to examine the Utah properties,
and Charles Hussey, from Finch &
Campbells Office, accompanied him to
go yer the books of these companies
TO verify the statements as to the bus
mess heretofore done. The Silver
King is the biggest lead mine in the
United States, having paid last year

of the fire. He hearl the screams OF
the women, and, rushing to his win
dow, saw the flames bursting from the
building.
When he reached the door the fright
ened inmates had begun to hurl them
selves from the windows.
Several were killed in jumping or
crushed to death by those who follow
ed. The dormitory was a four story
building of brick, and the only means
of exit was down the main stairway,
which was soon cut off after the fire
broke out, and the inmates rushed
panicstricken through the smoke and
heat, seeking an venue of escape,
Baffled in this, they sought the win
dows and hurled themselves headlong
to the ground.
Cora Bryant, who was sick in bed
on the fourth floor, is missing and is
believed to have been burned to death.

c%eptions, are negroes from southern

Occur d'Alene mine owners say that
every mine in the district shipping it's
product to Helena or Pueblo, Col,
shelters, will profit by the railroad
freight change which allows ores up
to $50 in value to be carried at the So
rate. 1t is claimed that with the pos
sible exception of the Hercules, no
mine in the district has a fat freight
and treatment rate with the smelters,
and as a result any reduction in freight
rates adds to the profits of the owners
of the mines. and does not go to the
shelters.
