ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Shameful Shooting Outrage at
GOldfield,

A disgraceful attempted murder
occurred at Goldheld on the night of
Saturday, the 2Sth ulto,, when six
masked men shot at and wounded
Robert Dempsey, an engineer at the
Combination mine. The wounded man
is a Canadian who came from Telluride
where he had worked at the Smuggler
Union and, upon obtaining the posi-
tion at the Combination, was repeat
edly requested by the secretary and
several members OF the miners union
TO Join that body, but despite all ar
guments, declined. At about mid
night on the night in question the
door of the engine house was thrown
open and before q word was uttered
a shot was fred which passed through
the fleshy part Of Dempsey's thighs,
as he sat alongside the lever of the
hoist. He is Of opinion that four
more shots were fired apparently to
frighten him. An old man who was
dumping rock at the collar of the
shaft and who is also a non.union
man was attacked and beaten and
taken part of the way to town.
Dempsey struggled as far as Column
bia where he was taken care OF for
the night, brought to Tonopah the
next day and is rapidly recovering.
The members of the miners union
disclaim any participation or prior
knowledge of this and are aiding in
the detection of these towards and ii
is thought by some that possibly these
men wanted to steal the rich ore
sacked and stored at the mine, some
of which assays as high as $50, 00C
der ton.

who are friendly to move Of this
kind and will advocate the passage of
laws that will place the independent
or farmers elevators ON footing with
those operated by the corporations.
The people are still mindful of the
transaction which only occurred a
short time ago, wherein Chas. Weston,
state auditor of Nebraska was arrested
by the authorities of Wyoming,
charged with the wrecking OF bank.
1t appears that officials have been
found wanting all along the line, and
that public records are full of pro-
ceedings, where men of high standing
have been made to disgorge the
amounts they carried away with them
belonging to the state of Nebraska.
General Colby, acting as adjutant gen.
eral, was indicted in the federal court,
for embezzlement of funds he had
belonging to the state, 1t is reported
he was SO badly scared, and so willing
to comply with the findings against
him, that he drew his check for 5000
more than the claim against him.
The indictment is still pending and
trial awaiting. Here is another re-
publican official gone wrong.
Can anyone imagine that the re-
publican party, claiming, as it does
everything in sight, and having un-
questioned possession Of everything
out of sight, could be in such des-
perate straights that it would have to
nominate the one and the same man
for United States senator and congress-
man of the First district?
Will citizens of the First congress
sional district ask Mr.. Burkett which
Office he is running for? Will they
ask him if elected for both offices
which one he will qualify for? Or will
he try the modern plan of Dietrich to
draw the salary for two at the same
time. Is it true there are no other
| republicans in the state competent to
run for United States senator? Or is
it true that Burkett is playing dog
in-the-manger, trying to take in every
thing in sight, and big enough to make
all others obey his commands-"Will
they keep still''?
We can and will during this cam
paign show up all the corruption OF
republican officials. When once I'M
covered, so the people may see them as
they are, they will have no courage
no hope. and will return to their pre-
yious vacations at the invitation oil
the people. We have no hesitancy in
announcing to all who are friendly tt
