Crushed to Death.

While engaged in telling trees
for the stave mill of the Jefferson
Cooperage Company ,on the Tucker
farm, near Wickliffe, yesterday
morning, George Lucas was in
stantly killed by being crushed by
a tree.
In company with several other
men, Lucas began work early in
the morning and everything pro-
gressed nicely until one large tree
was cut. As the tree began falling
Lucas saw his danger and tried to
escape, but the tree in falling
twisted and, instead drumming to
safety, Lucas ran directly beneath
it. His head was crushed horribly
and death was instantaneous.
Lucas, who was native of Page
county, lived near Castleman's
Ferry with his wife and one child.

Cooperage Company for some
time and was one of their most
valuable and trusted men.
In the Telling of large trees ne
was an expert, and many of the
monsters of the forest had fallen
beneath his axe.
The funeral will be held tomor-
row morning, and the remains will
probably be taken to Page county
for interment, although no ar
engagements have been made to
that end up to the time we 90 To

that the only two men who ever
attacked him on the floor of the
House were criminals at one time.
One had been a proven and self
confessed forger, and run cut of
public life, the other convicted of
manslaughter. The scene can bet
ter be imagined than described.
All Sullivan could do was to admit
that he was the man and that the
charge was true, but that he had
not been sentenced, perhaps on
account of his youth, but that his
father had served some time before
he was pardoned.
simply relate this incident as q
newspaper man because it appealed
to me as the most interesting thing
that has ever occurred in this most
embarrassing session of the Con-
gress. 1t was the complete undo
ing and the most scientific eviscer-
alton verbally of any man in Con-
gress since that verbal cataract in
which Henry L. johnson. of Indi-
ana, made Deliver. of Iowa. look
like two cents worth of dog meat,
during n session of the Fifty-Sixth
Congress. When Hearst sent Sui
Ivan limping To the rear and COW
cred with confusion and full of re-
gret that he spoke, it reminded me
of the story of the blue jay that
used to sit out ON a limb and plume
himself and defy all the birds that
fly, until one day an old chicken
hawk came sailing by figuring on
something that he might refer to
his internal economy. and spied
MIR. Blue JAY. He made a dive
for him, but was a little too late.
ana all ne got for his high dive
was every tail feather the blue jay
had possessed, with which he flew
away, the blood dripping there
from. The blue jay in his hole
took an inventory of himself and
he looked like a blue yarn sock
that a calf had been chewing. In
doleful tones he remarked to him
self: well, have lost my tail,
but | saved my life" Moral:

Young Lady of Detroit Writes To John
 Bozarth
Says She Would Dearly Love To Shoot And
 Lariat
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The Journal-Miner recently pub. lished an account of the experience of John Bozarth with a bear on Loco creek. The paper in due course of time reached Detroit, Michigan, where it was read by an 1S-year-old girl. It impressed her vividly, giving her an in- tense longing to come to the great and glorious west. Her feelings arc thus described in letter which Mr. Bozarth received this week, and it reveals a curious phase of human nature:
 "Detroit, Mich. MT. John Bozarth.
 Dear sir-I, the writer of this letter, am stranger to you, but please do not be offended or angry with me. l read in the paper about the lively ex- perience you had with bear near Loco creek while ""t for a ride. I am d young girl, and From baby up have been wild for the west, and love to read stories and books about the experi- ence people have had out there, if they do not hurt themselves. But when 1t comes to something that has happened and is real, why could not resist the temptation to write to you, and I dc hope and pray you will not be offended with me for writing to you.
 Now, dear sir. as I said before, I would love to hear what the men and people do out west, and to know that 2 man choked to death big bear!

cates of the joint two state bill would admit that the attitude of Senator Foraker would in any wise change the status of the bill. A senator who will support the Hamilton bill said: "Senator Foraker will be kept busy defeating vote legislation. He can t block everything"
 Despite the optimistic observations of the advocates of the Hamilton bill, it is idle to attempt to conceal the fact that many determined senators take the same view as Senator Forak- CT regarding the New Mexico Arizona situation. They believe it is so un- fair to couple Arizona with New Mex ico as to be crime against the people of the lesser territory. Some of the senators who hold this view have pro- perty interests in Arizona, and are se,- fish in their views. Others are disin- terested. As the statehood bill now comes before Congress it is a party question. The President has, in few words emphatically put, recommend ed the jointure of Oklahoma with Indian Territory and of New Mexico with Arizona and the admission of the two states.
 Again Challenges the Administration
 The Republican steering committees of both the Senate and the House have indorsed the same position, and a Re publican caucus of House members in the last Congress twice declared for the bill in this shape. Senator Foraker has again thrown down the gauntlet to the administration. Just how many Republican senators will follow the Ohio senator is not definitely known but it is apparent that several of them will not hesitate to do so. The only two subjects of national legislation which have so far come before Con gress are railroad rates an statehood Foraker has not hesitated to oppose the
 
 President recommendations in both instances.
 In view of the vexed complications which the Arizona and New Mexico problem presents, the Oklahoma state hood boomers are in a close position. They came here determined to dig into the fight and insist that Oklahoma and Indian Territory be separated from New Mexico and Arizona in the cor sideration of the statehood question. It was necessary for Delegate Mcclure. acting under the direction of Repub- lican congressional leaders, to corral them the minute of their arrival and urge them to keep hands off any phase of the New Mexico or Arizona situation. This policy they have wisely adopted.

FORAKER'S PLAN TO
 BLOCK STATEHOOD
7hrows Down the Gauntlet to the Ad- ministration and Proposes Amend ments That May Tie Up the Bill Till the Robins Nest Agaiin"

A dispatch to the Kansas City Times from its Washington correspondent tells the interesting and gratifying news that Senator Foraker has thrown down the gauntlet to the administra tion. His ultimatum is that there will be no statehood legislation at least in the Senate, unless one or the other of his two amendments are incorporated into the bill. The dispatch is as fol- lows:
 Washington, Dec. 11-All hope for a speedy passage of the statehood legis- this afternoon when Senator Foraker announced his intention of proposing two amendments to the Hamilton bill The alternative propositions were for mally submitted by the Ohio senator, and an ultimately privately given. The ultimatum was that if neither amendment was adopted there would be no statehood legislation at this session, The first proposition was that line be inserted in that section of the Hamilton bill which provided for the ratification of the constitution which incorporated these words: "In each of said territories.
 The significance of this insertion lies in the fact that both Arizona and New Mexico, voting separately, must declare in favor of the constitution before the new state can be admitted. In other words, if a majority of the people of Arizona are opposed to joint ure with New Mexico, they can pre- vent it by majority vote against the proposed constitution. The proposal of the second amendment, Senator Foraker stated, would depend upon the acceptance of the first. If his amendment was agreed to, he would not press the second and would vote for the bill. If it was not agreed to, he would move to strike out all after the eighteenth section of the Hamilton bill. This means he would move to separate the omnibus bill so that Okla homa and Indian territory could rs voted upon separately from New Mez- leo and Arizona.
 Senator Foraker's Position.
 In a conversation with the cores pendent for the Star, Senator Forakci said that it was nothing short of crime to force joint statehood CT Arizona against the wishes of its own people, and he would fight the prO2' sition to a finish.

THE KINNEY MINES.
Work To Be Started Soon on Good
 Ground.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

From Saturdays Daily.)
 John Kinney, the owner of a group of mining claims in Eugenia gulch, in the Big Bug district, gives the infor- nation that arrangements have been perfected to start work on his ground. and that the initial point selected will be the Storm Cloud claim.
 This i very gratifying not alone to MT. Kinney, but to that section as well, as the general reputation of the pro- perties owned by the above gentleman is of the best, and the only requisite necessary to demonstrate their wealth is the development of them to depth. What limited work has been given these claims has terminated hand somely, and there is every indication that when opened up the investment will be merited to wholesome degree of satisfaction.
 Mir. Kinney has completed the build ing of houses and made other improve ments to facilitate operation, and ex- poets to have the work started early in the coming year. The section in which the Kinney mines are situated is rapidly assuming high favor and many investors are now identified with it.
