A NEW FOREMAN.
Mir Campbell, Recently of Santa Ana, California, Takes Position With
 the Journal Miner

The Santa Ana. California, Herald, of January 9, contained the following
 notice of a young man who, today, as- stunned the duties of foreman of this office:
 'Gilbert P Campbell leaves Santa Ana tomorrow morning for Prescott, Ariz., where he goes to assume the duties of foreman in the office of the Arizona Daily Journal Miner, one of the leading papers of the territory.
 ''The Herald has particular source for regret in the removal of Mr. Campbell from this city, as in his de- parture it will lose the foreman of it's mechanical department. Bert has been with The Herald for the past eight and one-half years, working up from ''devil'' to foreman, which lat ter position he has filled in a per fectly satisfactory manner for the past five years. The Journal Miner is to be congratulated upon securing first class workman to supervise its me chanical department.
 'Mr. Campbell, aside from his work with The Herald, is identified with a number of fraternal orders, holding office with the Knights of Pythias, and has served as first lieutenant of Company l., N. G. C., for a complete term. In 1890 he captained the Col umbia club through the presidential campaign, and in the recent state election was its first lieutenant. Both he and Mrs. Campbell, who will join him in a short time, have a wide circle of friends, to whom their de- parture will be source of regret, and who extend best wishes for their suc- cess in their new home."

KILLED AT CARDS
Trouble Between mexicans at Weaver Over Game Results
 in Murder.
Murdered Man and Murderer Had Been Long Time Friends
 Murderer Arrested.

The little town of Weaver was the scene of another murder Saturday night. In the early days of the coun- ty this place could be counted good for two or three, or more killings a year, but for the past five or six years has been as quiet and peaceable as any section of the county.
 Both parties to yesterdays tragedy were Mexicans, and the particulars as telephOned to the sheriff's office were that the shooting occurred over a game of cards. The man killed was Jose Venezuela, and the man who did the killing was Pedro Arnenez. The scene of the tragedy was the Blue Front saloon.
 A party of Mexicans were in the sa- loon playing cards, Venezuela and Ar neneZ being among the number. The two men had been friends for years. ArneneZ was dealing when Venezuela made a remark not to his liking. and Arnenez pulled a pistol and com menced shooting without giving Ven ezuela chance for explanation. The first shot took effect in Venezuela's right breast, and this was followed by another which took effect in his tenn pie and he fell to the floor dead. Venezuela was unarmed at the time of the trouble. Arnenez was taken in charge by those in the saloon and turned over to deputy Sheriff there, and Joe Campbell went down last evening to take charge of him and bring him to Prescott.
 The murdered man was a widower with five children depending on him for support. ArneDez had lived in that section for twenty two years.

Philadelphia Pa., Jan. 1O.-The
 non- union men having closed their
 case the coal companies are opening
 their side of the controversy today
 before the coal strike commission.
 Chairman Gray, being still confined
 to his home, at Wilmington, suffering
 from cold, General Wilson again pre- sided at the session today. The pro- ceedings were opened by the Delaware and Hudson company, through it's counsel, Chas. H. Torrey, of Scranton, making his opening address. In open ing, Torrey stated that he would at tempt to prove that the inception of hostilties between the company and employees, was coincident with the entry in the anthracite field of the or ganization of United Mine Workers.
 Continuing, Torrey said: "From the testimony which will be offered it will be demonstrated that there was no merit in the first demand for a twenty per cent increase upon the prices paid during the year 1901, to employees performing contract work It will be shown that the rates paid were larger than is paid to bitumi- nuos miners for similar work. We are satisfied that the commission will find that there is no manual employ ment requiring so little training or skill and exposure to so little risk of life or health and the occupation of
 so small a portion of the working day, which is so literally compen- sated for in wages as the work of the anthracite miners.''
 Chicago, Jan. 10.-The prompt ac- tion of states attorney, Chas- Dinen. upon information furnished him by special committee, appointed by the Illinois Manufacturers association re- suited in the convening this morning of special grand jury to inquire into the causes for the high price demand ed for coal by Chicago dealers.

CONSERVATIVES MAY NOT WE'D.
Bill to Be Introduced in Indiana
 Against Them.

A bill to prevent the marriage of consumptives is now being prepared and it will be presented in the h. diana legislature next month. The author of the bill is consulting with physicians and gathering statistics. The provisions to prevent marriages of consumptives will not be based on the old theory of heredity of the dis ease in offspring, but on association.
 Statistics which make an appalling showing are being compiled. Last month over eighty mothers died of consumption in Indiana, leaving over 160 mOtherless children. The death of fathers was hardly as large. The number of children who died of the disease was large.
 On the figures thus presented it will be urged that steps should be taken not only to protect offspring but to cut down the number of parents that die and leave orphans.

German Government Thinks He Did
 Not Fully Inform It.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-Ambassador Von Hollenben's leave of absence from Washington is pretty generally re- ceived here as being virtually a recall, due, it is said, to the dissatis- faction of the government with his management of the Venezuelan af- airs.

They were taken to the Mount Carol county seat last night, where they will be arraigned on a charge of hold ing up train. They were traced by shoes, bought by one of their number at Dubuque. It develops from the story of one of the robbers that one member of the gang was killed by his own party the night of the holdup.
 It appears that they had a code of signals which the dead robber failed to use in coming around the train. He was shot by one of the robbers. They put the wounded man on the train which the robbers were taking up track. One of the party said "Can you talk yet?" He replied "yes," whereupon the robber shot him through the heart killing him in stantly.
