NURDERERS TAKEN TOCARSON
february 5th Set as the Date
of lheIr Execution

Sheriff Lamb and Deputy Sheriff
Muller left on No. last right for
Carson with the four prisoners con-
demned and sentenced to death for
the murder of Jack Welch in this
county last August. The p1en were
II the best of spirits when tney left,
and when the sheriff called them to
come out of the cells and prepare to
start, Roberts and Williams were in
the midst of an exciting crap game,
the interruption of which they OBJ
jected to. The four men were hand
cuffed together, and the leg irons were
also placed upon them. Then, with
their hats tilted back, and each with
i cigarette in his lips, they hiked
of to the depot, joshing each other
and seeming to enjoy the attention
they attracted.
The warrant which Sheriff Lamb
will present to the warden of the
prison designates Friday, the 5th day
of February, as the day upon which
they shall be hanged in the Jail yard
in Carson. The quartette appear to
look upon the infiiction of the death
penalty as a very funny affair, and
on account of the "babyishness" as
they term it, of Linderman, alias Will
liams, each of the others has express
ed the hope that Williams would be
hung last.
A recently discharged prisoner who
was a trusty about the Jail for some
time states that he overheard Roberts
tor Reidt) make the remark to the
others at the time Sheriff Lamb took
his shoe down to the undertaking
establishment to learn if the tacks
in the heel corresponded with the
bruises on the back of Welch's hands,
IF I'd a thought
-had life enough in him to
get in here alive, you bet your life
I'd a fired three or four more into
him." This same and other prison
ers state that Sevner, German and
Roberts seemed to think it a great
joke that the belief was that Will
Jams fired the last and fatal shot al
Welch, when, according to their talk
Sevner was the one who did it. Even
if it could be proven, as it never will
be, that these men were innocent o1
the crime of numbering Welch, they
are hard cases, and the world will gel
along just as well without them-in-
deed, much better-than with them

NINETEEN LIVES ARE LOST
A Terrible Struggle for Life in the Hud.

SEVENTY MEN WERE IN THE WATER.
While Crossing the River on a Scow to Their
Work on Dam at Spier Falls a Boy Who
Had Fallen Overheard the Day Previous
Again Causes a Scare, the Boat Careens
and Fills and All Are Thrown Overheard.

Glens Falls, N. Y. (Specia) Nine
teen men are dead as result OF the
capsizing OF the ferryboat used by
workmen at Spier Falls, about 10 miles
west OF Glens Falls, on the Hudson
river. Over thousand men are en-
ployed there at present in the con-
struction OF the power dam OF the
Hudson River Power Company. The
laborers and many OF the masons are
Italians, who live in shanties on the
north side OF the river. The main
portion OF the work is carried on at
present on the opposite side OF the
river. The men have been in the habit
OF crossing a small bridge where the
river flows through the unfinished por-
tion OF the dam, but the river has been
rising for several days, and the COM
pany, fearing that the bridge was un-
safe. destroyed it with dynamite

affair 80 feet long and 10 wide, and is
operated by means OF cables. 1t is
large enough to carry a heavily loaded
team. and as many as $50 men have
been taken across at one time.
Friday, when the men were being
ierried across an Italian boy known as

Saturday morning 70 or so men got
aboard, and the boat started. leaving d
big crowd on the bank waiting for the
next trip. When 80 feet from shore.

previous day seized one OF the tackle

cable to the stern of the boat. Some

instantly the boat careened and filled.

The Hudson, swollen by the freshet
bore score or more OF the struggling
men down the stream. Many others
succeeded in catching hold OF the boat,
which had righted. and they clung
there until pulled ashore.
The widest excitement prevailed,
but the current carried many OF the
men in toward shore, where they were
rescued.
Teams were quickly harnessed and
loaded with the skilled log drivers and
sent down along the river to PORTS
where the bodies would be likely to
land. Dozens Of dinner pals, hats and
coats were ished out. but it was nearly
4 o'clock before the first body was
found. This was found in a log jam
two miles below the dam. and was rec
ognized as that OF Fred Forran, an
Italian interpreter.
The river for miles is being watched
and dragged in hopes OF finding bo-
dies OF the other victims. There were
but two or three English speaking men
on the boat, the Italians being all des-
ignated by number. The rolls OF the
men were called and everybody had
been accounted for except I6 men. and
it is certain that these men were
drowned

ExTORTlON BY vICEROYS.
Collection Of Indemnity a Double Hardship
on Chinese.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD While
no advices have been received at the
Chinese Legation here regarding the
serious condition OF affairs which is
approaching crisis in the interior OF
China as a result OF the renewed activ-
ity OF the Boxers and OF other rebels
in various parts OF that country. it is
the understanding that the new Minis
ter, Sir LANG Chen 1ung. who sailed
from Hongkong on February 27 on
the steamship Korea for San Francis
co, will bring to Washington impor-
tant Instructions bearing on the sub
ject.
In addition to the uprising OF the
rebels and the increased importation
OF arms the extortion practiced by the
Viceroys in the collection OF the in
demnity is said to have caused the
most distressing conditions in mary
provinces. European advices that have
reached Washington i'll the last few
days show no evidence OF weakening
on the part OF the powers in their de-
mands for the payment OF the indem-
nifty in gold. This problem will be the
first which the new Minister will CRAP
pie with upon his arrival in Washing
tor. He is expected here early III
April.
Besides Sir LANG there are 90 mem
bers in his party, including new

MORE PAY FOR MINERS
Commission Will Recommend Approyi-
mateIy Ten Per Cent. Increase.
RECKONING BY ACTUAL WEIGHT.
The Question Of Recognition Of the Miners
Union is Considered a Question Of Policy
and Legislation, and the Best the Com.
mission Can Do Is TO Make Recommends.
tlons 10 the President

Washington, D. c. (Special) There
is no doubt that the coal strike COM
mission has decided that the miners
should have an increase OF pay, and it
will approximate the 10 per cent. which
has been under discussion. There also
appears to be no doubt that a majority
OF the committee stands for payment
by actual weight instead OF by 'inspec-
ton and car measurements.
Some Of the committee hold that
since the passage OF the Hoar bill ex-
pediting cases on the docket, no strike
would ever be necessary il the cause
OF complaint we're sent Immediately to
a federal court, promptly argued and
promptly settled.
The application OF the law OF iniunc-
ton, these members hold. would oper-
ate under the Hoar bill to the benefit
OF both operators and miners. A cut
ting down OF wages. for instance, could
be made the immediate cause OF case
and decision in court.
There will be in the historical part
OF the report an adverse criticism OF
the delay OF the operators in agreeing
to the present form OF arbitrating the
strike.
1t is said that the committee has
made no declaration directly on the
principle OF boycott. The solution OF
that question. it is regarded, is involv-
ed in the character OF legislation to
be suggested by the President. The
commission will, therefore, say that
pending the enactment OF law the prin-
ciple OF the boycott be held in abey-
ance.
That is practically decision in ia
vor OF the miners union, because it
will require a year, perhaps two, for
the enactment OF any specific law deal
ing with the most important question
OF the recognition OF unions. A boy
cotted workman's remedy, pending
such enactment. would not be the stir
ring UP OF strife in the coal fields by
himself or by the machination of op-
orators, but by recourse to the federal
court.
Until the President. who has under
taken the work, and Congress have
acted, the committee will secure an
agreement which is said to be two
years, or the life OF the Fiity-eighth
Congress.

SIX PEOPLE ARE BURNED
kelocaust In the West Virginia Mining
Town OF Letter.
CAUSED BY THE EXPLOSION OF LAMP.

nssse Was Saved, and the Sleeping Ia.

Structure Ia Q Blaze.

Eikins, w. Va. (SpeciaD In the
burning Of double house at Letter, a
mining town below Elkins, six persons
are known to have lost their lives and
several were badly injured.
IL is believed by some that seven per-
sons in all lost their lives, one other man
being missing.
The house was occupied on one side by
Thomas Coughlan and on the other by
Silas Finley. They kept hotel together.
The fire was first discovered in Miss
Coughlans room and is believed to have
been caused by the explosion OF a lamp
The flames made such headway that the
building collapsed few moments after
fhe blaze was detected. Those who did
escape barely had time to do So There
were "a persons in the house.
Mr.. Anderson was foreman of the
Roaring Creek and Bcllington railroad
operations. He and his family lived OH
the Finley side of the house The others
who were cremated lived on the Cough
Ian side.
A brisk south wind was blowing at the
time the fire occurred. The house was
built in flimsy manner and the weather.
boarding was dry. 1t burned like tinder,
the flames spreading from one part to
another with astonishing rapidity.
The lower part OF the house was full
of fire and smoke when the inmates
Awoke. Those who were saved were
compelled to leap from the upper-story
window. They were sleeping soundly
when aroused by the cracking flames.
Arising from their beds, they just had
time TO run to the top story and jump
out of the windows Clad only in their
night clothes, they saw in few moments
the building entirely consumed and knew
that six of their friends had met death
IN the blazing structure. Hardly an
article out of all their numerous personal
belongings in the house was saved
After the ashes had cooled off to some
extent the search OF the ruins began.
Soon the bodies OF the six victims were
Eecovcred. All of them we're terribly
burned, being charred beyond all recogni-
hon.
Letter, where this tragedy occurred, is
small town eight miles south of Elkins.
Almost its entire population is composed
Cd persons connected with the mines at
that place. There is little apparatus for
fighting fire there. and no matter how
good il might have been the house burned
SO rapidly that il would hardly have been
possible to have saved any Of those who
were crcmated.
