Communication by wireless telegraphy

JEWELS IN A NEST.
Remarkable Find Made In North d.

While hunting in the Big Hole
Albert Turner. guide made one OF
the oldest discoveries ever recorded.
With a companion named Burt, he was
caught In severe snowstorm miles
from camp. and. finding that II would
be necessary 10 spend the night In the
forest the two set about chopping
down second-erowth spruces with
which to make a leanto.
The snow was too deep to gather
fallen deadwood fer fire. so Turner
took his hatchet and hunted about for
stump dry enough to burn. He
eventually founG one.
Turner hacked on two feet of the
wood Mt time as II was needed. Ind
about bedtime had reached the middle
oil the log, He had noticed n hole In
the center which connected with an
opening near the top and rightly CON
cluded that a nuthatch had made his
nest in the interior the spring before.
Occasionally he struck the feathers OF
the bird, but thought nothing OF II
until his Ratchet hit a hard. metallic
substance. Then he carefully lnvesti-
gated.
By cutting out the decayed wood
about the substance he soon brought
TO light fine gold chain. scarcely
larger than a thread. to the end OF
which was attached a small gold lock-
ct set with three sparkling diamonds.
Turner was greatly excited and called
to his companion. He pried the lock-
ct open with his hunting knife. and
found 1t to contain n tiny photograph
OF child and picture OF "a man. on
the back of which was written Il. D.
The locket had lain underneath some
feathers and moose hair at the bottom
OF the nest. and the chain had been
firmly woven Into the outer part OF the
structure.

four men attacked me, some striking

turn to Tobasco. We started back as

UNION LEADERS ASSAULTED

An incident in the strike situation that
caused considerable excitement in Trim
idad this evening was an assault on

recently to take charge of the strike
in the interests of the national board
of the United Mine Workers OF Amer
lea, and James Mooney, one of the
national organizers. who has been here
since the strike was inaugurated in No
vember last.
Eight men. all wearing black masks
over their faces. committed the assault,
but who they were and the motive for
the act is matter of conjecture
Messrs. Farley and Mooney were both
badly beaten over the head and body
the injuries OF the latter being the
most severe. Attending physicians do
not believe that serious results will
follow. Both are now at the Coronado
hotel. The Republican correspondent
called on Mr.. Farley in his room last
night and obtained from him the fol-
lowing statement regarding the affair:
