Strusales To Save Woman from River.

For half an hour Jack Fahey, a
detective in the employ of the Wig
gins Ferry Company on the East
Side, yesterday, struggled with
Mrs. M. Meyers on the Wiggins
Ferry dump" a trestle that ex-
tends several hundred feet out
into the river below Eads bridge.
Mrs. Meyers, according to
Fahey, had fired one shot at her
self, and after vainly swapping
the revolver tried to jump into the
river.
Fahey finally secured help
from workman and the police
were summoned. Mrs. Meyers
was taken to the police station,
where she was locked up.
Mrs. Mergers is 33 years old
and lives between the Mobile and
Ohio and the Illinois Central
roundhouses, in the southern part
of East st Louis. Railroad men
IN the employ of the Wiggins
Ferry Company reported to
Detective F a h ey yesterday
that a woman was acting strange
about the ferry landing on the
levee front.
Fahey started to investigate
the report, and as he neared the
dump" he saw Mrs. Meyers
walking over the trestle toward
the river. Fahey quickened
his steps, and as he neared the
approach to the trestle he saw the
woman raise a revolver and fire
shot. The bullet did not strike
her, and Fahey ran to word her.
Fahey says she snapped the
revolver three mere mes, but that
the cartridges failed to explode
| Mrs. Meyers saw F'ahey ap-
preaching, and had nearly reach :
ed the edge of the trestle when
he grabbed her. Fahey is a
former prize fighter and athlete.
Mrs. Meyers gave him the
battle of his life, however accord :
ing to Fahey. He was assisted
finally by a switchman, and the
police were summoned. Mrs.
Meyers was taken to the police
station.
She said that she had tried to
do away with herself because she
I.was tired of living and that her
troubles we're too great to bear,

Senator Clark ON Copper.

Senator w, A.. Clark, in a recent
interview with the Chicago Inter
Ocean, said:
Cooper conditions are better than
they have been in many years and
good prices will continue for a long
time. All over the world the use and
demand for copper are constantly
increasing and the output is scarcely
up to the demand. 1t is impossible
to buy any great amount of copper
at less than three months delivery.
The present high prices are justified
by conditions. On careful inquiry |
find that the output OF Montana and
other producing sections is 10 per
cent greater this year than last, and
next year will be wen greater
There viii be no let up in the demand
for copper, for the uses for the red
metal are constantly increasing.
Russia will have to build an entire
new navy and Japan will increase its
naval strength. The demand for
copper in electrical work is growing
enormously, and where steel and iror
are used copper is needed. The cop
per industry certainly has a long ant
bright future

Nye Leads.

The Carson Appeal says that Lin
coin county is taking the lead in the
matter Of posting sign-boards on the
desert, to direct the way farer to
water and trails. Such is not a fact,
for the Commissioners Of Nye county
early last summer authorized and
directed Jack Longstreet to place
sign. boards in various parts OF Nye
county, and he faithfully performed
the work.
The Appeal article concludes as
follows:
This movement is in the right
direction and the other counties Dor
dering on the desert should follow
suit. Had signs been posted the
past year a score or more lives would
have been saved and the probability
Is that more than one mine would
have been discovered. The region is
a desolation but the gold is there and
no matter the hardshipsf men will
travel the country. The posting o.
signs is one of the best moves in the
south.

RACE FOR LIFE.
Mrs. Dwyer Passes Away After
Terrible Experience.

The Salt Lake Telegram Of last
Saturday contained the following:
A breakneck race with life as the
prize ended at the Holy Cross hos
pital in this city this morning with
the death under the surgeons knife
of Mrs. 7. b. Dryer OF Berlin, New.
The race began Tuesday night at
Berlin, a mining camp in Nye county.
Mrs. Dryer was the wife Of a mining
man Of that camp in moderate cir
cumstances.
For five weeks she had suffered
most excruciating agony in her left
eye, as the result Of trouble encount-
cred when a child. Tt grew SO much
worse that late Tuesday night it was
decided that she would come to Salt
Lake and il possible seek relief here.
The fastest team was secured and
a b|reakneck race across the drab
stretches Of the bare desert com
menced in the crisp air Of the night.
The sufferer lost no sleep from the
effect Of the long drive at night-she
had not slept for five weeks pre-
yiously So great and ex%cruciating was
her pain.
Arriving at Austin, New, the ter
minus of the Nevada Central railroad,
a daughter Of the sick woman was
notified and the two made hurried
preparations for the trip to Battle
Mountain, SO miles away. Here they
waited for the No. 6 of the Southern
Pacific, which brought the suffering
woman to the city yesterday morning.
She and her daughter went to the
Wilson hotel, where a consultation
was held with physicians of the Holy
Cross hospital.
1t was decided that if her life could
be saved nothing but an immediate
operation would do it. The time sci
for the operation was 8 o'clock this
morning. At that time the patient,
who was 60 years old, was operated
upon.
The operation consumed less thar
three minutes. While the wound wa!
being dressed the woman rallied ant
was apparently recovering withou
difficulty, when suddenly she fell bacl
dead.
The hospital authorities stated tina
the affection was iridocyclis, that th
right eye was already sympathetic
ally affected, and that nothing but a
operation, the outcome Of which wa
doubtful on account OF the age OF tn
patient as well as her weakened COZ
dition, could have saved her life {

News was received from Como this

blacksmith shop Of the Hully-Logan

This property is owned by the Ohio

IN contact with a gasoline tank and
the flames we're so fierce that the
men at the mine could do nothing but

gasoline engines were also destroyed

The Western Pacific.

An army of 5000 men and nearly
1000 teams are now at work on the
construction of the Western Pacific.
This force is employed on the 100
miles embraced IN the $40, 900, 900
contract held by the Utah Construc-
tion Company, $50 miles west across
the desert from Salt Lake and 800
miles in California and Nevada. The
latter includes the heavy grade work
and tunneling in the Beckwith pass.
Three tunnels have to be bored in the
pass, one nearly ten miles long, and
the Utah Construction Company has
expended over 5000, 900 in the pur-
chase Of machinery to carry out the
work.
1t is expected that before the
month Of January closes some 5000
men will be employed on the grading
work. Many more would be at work,
but the greatest difficulty is exper-
fenced in securing labor.

ments are spread broadcast for lab

indicted these two men. lie WAS at
Lansing prison yesterday conferring rel
ativc to the matter. He said last night
that the action Of the district court here
depended somewhat upon the action Of
the United States circuit court Of APP
peais. already considering the same poin-

Judge Buckner contends that the
grand iuries indcting these men were
not properly impaneled and that, there
fore. they had no jurisdiction in the
cases This is a phase OF "A grand jury
muddle first stirred up In Oklahoma some
weeks ago.
Runnels was Indicted In 1901 at Guth-

Oklahoma capital. It was said that Run
nels was drinking heavily at the time
the killing took place He was con-
victed Of manslaughter and sentenced to
twenty-five years in the penitentiary.
OF t.is time he has served only small
portion.
McCloskey was indicted in 1900 and
afterward convicted of the murder OF an
other man in Lincoln county. McClos-
key lived at Chandler and is a veteran
Of the Civil war.
Runnels is said to be fine speei-
men Of physical manhood He has
charge OF the insane ward at the Kan
sas penitentiary. He served as assist
ant chief of police at Guthrie at one
time. and again was deputy United
States marshal
Judge BucKner said that in the event
the writs were granted as sought it
