LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TON0PAH
CLOUDS ROLLED BY.

In full confidence that the threat
ened labor troubles at Tonopah would
not occur, the bonanza has refrained
from any expression tending toward
alarm. The question raised by a
minority of the members of the local
Miners Union was one which the
practical intelligence of that body
was bound to frown down, in view of
the very probable calamity of gen.
eral strike. There was no question
of time or money consideration in
volved in reality, because the union
scale was being more than met.
However, the matter of compensa-
ton was raised in order to test feel
ing as to whether contract work is
an encroachment upon union princi.
pies. This possible view will not be
discussed here, inasmuch as the issue
has been withdrawn. While the To-
nopah company doubtless adopted
contract work under certain circum-
stances and conditions for the pur-
pose of expediting the same, it has
never been set up that either con-
tractors or workers Hereunder re-
ceived a cent less than schedule
wage. AS set forth in an article
elsewhere, at routine but little-at-
tended meeting of the union reso-
luton was passed that such contract
ors and miners should receive S. each
per eight. hour shift. All this, as
soon as it could be regularly done
under society regulations, was re-
scinded by the necessary two thirds
vote, ny ballot, at general election
wherein every member had his say in
the premises. Matters now stand
upon exactly the same footing as
heretofore, and there is no clash
a'coming. The goodly city of Tono-
pah halls result of the calm Judgment
OF the BODY of the union.

HERO or STRANGE TRAGEDY
 IN Tht CITY
HI. Nelson, Leading Actor In the Lituya Bay Execution, On Way to Atlin-
 Brief History of the Case

For ten long and weary days, living in leaky tent, during a continuous rain storm, the two men and the brave little woman, with the aid of Indians, watched the murderer. who remained tied to a cot in one of the tents. A sharp lookout was kept all the time for boat, returning from the Westward toward Sitka. One day the Dora steamed past, disregarding the signals that were made to induce her to stop.
 After the Dora had refused to call, winter set in and the little party knew that relief was an imprObability until spring. Then a serious counsel of war was held, and before it was determined, Seivers was taken into the cousulta- ton. The latter recognized by this time the enormity of his crime and the impossibility of his escaping punish ment for it. He did not even ask to be turned loose. He it was who proposed first that they shoot him. At last it was decided that the proper manner in which to proceed, would be to put the man to death in a manner as nearly as possible as that prescribed by law, so Seiyers was notified that he was to be hanged. He consented. asking only that they pray for him. This Mrs. Nelson agreed to do, provided he would, under his own hand and over his sig nature, make a statement of the affair, telling how everything was done. The condemned man did this, exhonorating those who were about to be his execut- ors.
 Two posts with a cross beam were set up near the tent in which Seivers was confined. Block and tackle were at- tached to the cross beam, and after blindfolding the willing victim, the rope was attached to his neck, and then followed one of the most orderly exc eutions which ever took place in ac- cordance with the decree of Judge Lynch. In the presence of Nelson, Mrs. Nelson, sam Christensen and fii- teen Indians, the murder of poor Steve Fegolia was avenged.
 Martin Seiyers and his victim were buried side by side on the shores of Lituya bay.
 As soon as he could reach Juneau, the following spring, Nelson went be- fore Judge Johnson and the whole ai- fair was investigated and the execution wds justified.
 While he was frequently asked, but consistently refused to discuss the mo- tive for his crime, it Is believed that Seiyers was induced to make an at tempt to destroy the lives of his asso- ciates for the purpose of securing pos- session of the gold that was kept under the bunk in the cook house. While this amounted to only few hundred dollars, it was believed by the miners to be much more.

HI. Nelson, who was a leading actor in the seivers execution, which, with The murder leading up Co the exeeu- tion, was one of the most remarkable tragedies that ever occurred in the North, is in Skagway and win leave for Atliu this morning on the train.
 In the fall of lSg9 Mir. Nelson was the foreman of gang of men for the Li' tuya Bay Mining Company the proper ~ Of which was situated II miles back from the coast Of Lituya bay. The gang, which had been quito numerous in the summer, had dwindled down by the middle ot october to Nelson his wife, and three men, Martin Seivers' sam Christensen and Steve Fegolia, the last named being an Italian. While nothing was noted as out of the way at the time, Nelson, after the occurrence oi the stirring incidents which fol- lowed in rapid succession during the closing days Of that October on Lituya bay, remembers that Seivers had acted peculiarly for several days before the first eyenttul day which inaugurated an unique chapter in the annals of Alaskan criminology.
 On the evening of October %, ls99, the little party of miners had just com pleted their dinner in the cookhouse, which also served as living apartments for Mir. and Mrs. Nelson. Fegolia was playing with his little black and tan dog. The other men, except Seivers, were smoking, and Mrs. Nelson was about to clear away the remains of the evening meal and the dishes. Seivers, who had completed his dinner earlier than the others and had gone Co the bunkhouse in which the single men lived, came in at this juncture, and quickly drawing a 45-calibre Colts re- volyer from under an oilskin coat, began firing on the crowd The first shot killed Fegolia instantly and the second struck Christensen in the shoul- der, lnficting a slight though painful wound. The desperate man had swung around and was about Co fire at Mrs. Nelson, when her husband grappled with him. In the cour,e'oi the strug- gle that followed the revolver was dis charged for the third time, causing a hesh wound in Seiyers' leg. The life and death battle between Nelson and Seivers was decided in favor of the former by the presence oi mind and pluck of Mrs Nelson. who choked the irenzied Seiyers with a towel until he became helpless.
 Blythe time that the murderer was un- der control, Christensen had so far re- covered from the shock of his own wound that he helped to tie Seiyers to the Cot, where he was left until the next day With the assistance Of h. dians, Seiyers and the dead body of Fe- Eolia were carried down to the beach, eleven miles away.

an odd ecru color, which gives hintings of
a pinkish cast. 1t is color which must
be seen; 1t cannot be adequately de-
scribed. This unique model had a chem

over the shoulders Of hand-tucked white
mousseline de sole thickly studded with
black and gold and silver pailiettes,, which
material also formed the deep sleeve cap
and cuff. The corsage and Skirt were
strapped with a, shot pale blue and silver
peau de cygne, which material seems to
have replaced taffetasE for this purpose
and the strappings were so disposed on
the skirt that they bordered the fan
plated front gore and formed a lattice at
the back and sides. The corsage was
plain and snug fitting in the back. but
the fronts bloused prettily into a French
curved waistband of the peau de cygne.

Miss Catherine Comfort, who was
elected head of the girls hall at the agri-
cultural school at the last meeting of the
regents held Wednesday, to fill the va
cancy caused by Mrs Meredith's resigna-
ton, has always been Minneapolis
woman. When a child she received her
education In the city schools and after
she had completed the course in the
graded Schools entered the high school,
from which she was graduated after four
years of conscientious study. Next she
formed part In the student body at the
university and in 80 received her diploma
Until five years ago Miss Comfort did
not take any regular position, altho she
had some experience in the schoolroom
At that time she took position in the
English department in the East high
school, where she taught until she &C
cepted position as the head of the Eng
fish department at the agricultural school.
In the four years she spent in the high
school she obtained much valuable ex-
perience which has fitted her for the posi-
ton she now holds.

poplin and mohair gowns, which will lead
the autumn procession on dress parade.
chenille threads are perhaps the best
adapted to this work, they being light
of texture, altho appreciably bulky for
their weight. Owing to this popularity
they work in well in the somewhat bold
designs now favored, altho tiny ribbon
velvets, the baby ribbons and our old
time friend, arrasene, all have place in
the present day schemes of embroider-
les. The leading motif is always exc
cuted in black, the pastel tones are re-
lied upon for relief, and frequently
beads of many colors and sizes are intro
duced with excellent effect.
And. speaking of beads, the Indian
bead work has been taken on with such
enthusiasm that it has crossed the ocean,
and our English cousins are clamorine

looms which the American girl has learned
to manipulate with such dexterity. Watch
chains, fobs belts in various widths, lorg-
nette chains and necklaces of all sorts and

mand for books Of instruction in this fasci-
mating work far exceeds the supply. Two

ton of tea cozies, without one of which
no English tea table is considered to be

work progresses and the pupil becomes
more adept in the use of the little loom
and the working of elaborate designs new
uses will be found for the finished pro-
duct. '"@
