DID NOT LET THE POLICE IN ON
SECRET THAT HIS GUN
WAS USED.
For Withholding information Effort
May Be Made to Get His Saloon
License Revoked


East End saloon, may have his license
revoked for the part he took in with
holding information from the police in
the case Of Harry Schonleber, charged
yesterday with the murder of Dudley
Gully, the young man mysteriously
shot down at the w. & c. r. depot
Tuesday night. the police are very.
indignant at the action of Mr.. Nor
man and he was sharply criticized by
Chief Brown while on the stand yes
terday at the inquest held over the
body of young Gully.
Mr.. Norman loaned Schonleber the
gun with which Gully was shot; it was
returned to him with the statement
made by Schonleber that Gully had kill
ed himself with it; he locked it up in
mis- safe and kept it there until request
ed to turn it over by Officer Ben Wolf
nearly "a hours later, and yet Mr.. Nor
man failed to mention the matter to
the police who had visited his place
of business several times Wednesday,
and talked over the movements of both
Schonleber and Gully, who frequently
visited his saloon, in an effort to clear
up the battling mystery of the death of
young Gully. The fact that Mr. Nor
man had loaned the gun with which
Gully was shot, was not known until
Coroner Smith forced Schonleber to di
vulge his story, part of which dealt
with his securing the revolver from
Mr.. Norman on the night of the kill
ing. After it became known that the
revolver belonged to Mr.. Norman, Of
1cer Wolf, accompanied by Scnonleber
and Coroner Smith visited the East
End saloon. Coroner Smith and Schon-
leber remained outside and Officer
Wolf went inside where Mr.. Norman
was and asked for the gun. Mr.. Nor
man looking inquiringly at the officer
and asked: What gum" The officer
said nothing, but went out and brought
in Schonleber and again asked for the
pistol. Mr.. Norman turned to his safe
and opening it took out the revolver
and handed it owed to the officer.
Young Schonleber in telling mis- story
on the stand yesterday, stated that
when ne returned the revolver to Mr..
Norman, with the statement that he
was sorry that he had borrowed it as
Gully had killed himself with it, he
took Mr.. Norman to one side and asked
him not to say anything about the
matter. Mr.. Norman promised and
how well he kept his work is seen in
the fact that the police lost nearly u
house in unearthing evidence that
should have been forthcoming imme-
diately the minute that Mr.. Norman
knew that Gully had been shot with a
revolver belonging to him. The mat
ter will probably be taken up with the
council in an effort to get Mr.. Nor
mans saloon license revoked

THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
PROMISES TO BE BIG EVENT
IN WALLA WALLA
Local Committee Has the Details Well
in Hand-Many Invitations Sent
to Other Places.

The council and Commercial club
committees that are handling the ar
rangements for the good roads con-
vention, that is to be held in Walla
Walla next Tuesday, are working with
great enthusiasm and expect to make
the meeting big success. Many in
vitations were sent out today to the
surrounding towns in Walla Walla
Columbia and Whitman counties, urg-
ing the people of those localities to
come to Walla Walla on that day. 1t
has been decided to ask the business
men to decorate their stores in an ap-
propriate manner and Chairman
is laying plans for the identifying of
the court room in the court house
where the convention is to be held
The convention promises to be one
of the most important that has ever
been neld in Walla Walla and great
good is expected to result from the in
formation that will be impaired by the
members of the National Good Roads
association who will make addresses
during the proceedings. The speakers
of the day and evening are all men of
national prominence and are experts
in their different departments. This
meeting, from the fact that the city is
preparing to do much street improve
ment during the year, will be pecu
liarly significant.
At the meeting yesterday the plans
for some street improvement were out
lined by the members of the council.
The members of the Commercial club
entered into a discussion of the plans
and it was finally agreed to ask the
city council to designate some partic-
ular street that could be taken as an
experiment. 1t is proposed to create
an assessment district and carry on
the proposition according to the state
laws and the city charter. At the COM
ing convention it is expected that the
National association will be asked to
bring it's construction outfit to Walla
Walla and build street, using what
ever material the property owners and
city council may deem best. Mr..
experts and working force would be at
the disposal of the city for any length
of time desired, but in order to secure
them it would be necessary for the
city to give them reasonable time in
which to make arrangements to take
up the work.
The movement for good roads is
growing rapidly throughout the coun-
try and the work that is being done
by the National Good Roads associa-
ton is being received everywhere with
the greatest of enthusiasm.
The committee handling the details
for the convention are urging the peo-
pie in general of Walla Walla to at
tend the convention and become ed
ucated in the methods of improving
the roadways Of both city and county.
AS the women are usually foremost in
civic improvements they are espec-
tally invited to attend the meetings,
as they will have an opportunity of
learning a great deal in the line of
identifying their home surroundings.
The committee is arranging to have
a musical program interspersed be-
tween the addresses.

The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1905-01-05

The Salt Lake Mining Review has the
following to say concerning claim jump
ers and their kindred:
The man who holds down a claim year
after year by relocation is a hindrance
to the growth and prosperity Of any
camp or district. He will not work
himself, neither will he let others, II he
can help it. He will not make a showing
of what he has got, and he asks the
price of a mine for an undeveloped pros
pect. The first Of every year finds him
busily engaged in putting up new loca-
ton notices upon claims which he has
neither the inclination or intention to
develop. He is a drawback to the dis
trict and is a cousin, If not a brother, TO
the claim jumper.

Western Pacific Buys More Rails.

In spite of the reports that are being
sent out to the effect that the Western
Pacific railway is about to abandon its
plans because of an agreement that the
Goulds have reached with the Harri-
man lines is discredited by a statement
that comes from Chicago to the effect
that the Western Pacific directors have
placed with the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company an additional order for
10000 tons of eighty pound steel rails.
Should this be 10 addition to the 65, 000
tons placed some months ago, as noted
at tho time, it will mean that the com.
pany has already ordered about 75C
miles, which is very nearly all that will
be required to build the road. which is
saii to be $50 miles in length, some sec.
tons Of which are already constructed.

A Travelling Mans Death.

A gay and handsome travelling man,
Lay on a bed of pain,
And hope had passed, his life ebbed fast,
He never would rise again.
"Have you no sweetheart fair and true
They whispered DER his bed,
Whom hot would'st tell a last FAREWELL
The young man safely said:
"There's Daisy down in Yerington,
And Nellie at Reno;
THERE'S Hattie over in Austin,
And Mary at Washoe
And at Deeth there's Esther dear,
Whom l must'surely see;
And Anna, too, at old st. Clair,
Please bring them all to me-"
The watchers started with wild surprise,
And then they said once more,
"Come tell MS, pray, with ut delay,
The girl whom you adore.
The girl whom you have sworn to love,
And bring both wealth and fame,
Your promised, wife, your hope, your life.
Quick, let us know her name!"
There's Maggie up at Wells" he said,
Also Name at Monticello;
There's Violet down in Palisade,
Aud Maud, who lives in Elko.
Again there's Genevieve at Sun usyside,
And Mabel at Lamoille."
The young man sighed, "It's time | died,
"I've sworn to wed them all.

A BRIEF WORLD
REVIEW.

The eyes of the world during the year
just closed have conferred on the great
war which has been raging in Manchuria
and on the sea which laves its shores.
The Russian Pacific navy has Eeen
practically destroyed, the japanese navy
has suffered much but is still strong.
On land the current of the wal has been
steadily against the Russians and some
OF the most terrible of recorded battles
have been fought. The number of the
dead cannot be estimated, but as reck-
less and persistent fighting as has ever
been seen has been going on.
All the %oDscurity that had heretofore
surrounded the japanese, has been
swept away. and she to day stands forth
one of the very foremost military powers
of the earth. If the Russians were at
first sanguine that the wal would be
short and decisive. considering how they
have fought. they were not to blame, for
that kind Of fighting would have won
against any ordinary foe.
The defense of Port Arthur has been
most wonderful; the chieftain in com
mand there has shown a patience, a te-
nacity and a valor almost without a
parallel, while the awful warfare which
has been pressed against it has certainly
no parallel in modern times.
That seige will go into history as al
together desperate. Hardly any other
word can give an adequate idea of it.
Around Mukden the two great north.
ern armies are facing each other; while
from the Siberian railroad all other traffic
has been withdrawn to swell Kuropat-
kin's armies and to carry supplies to
them, in order that he may take the Of
fensive when the weather will permit.
The utmost hat heroism, backed by
modern war engines can do, may be
looked for there when the advance be-
gins and the number of men that will be
slain will make the world shudder.

Our own country has been wonderfully
blessed. There have been 30 great con
WILSON'S of nature, no devastating storms;
a great harvest was gathered and it is
selling at generous prices.
The Presidential election was quietly
passed; the great industries are all pros
pering; there are no omens of serious
trouble in the sky the Republic is run
ming on an even keel. Nearly a million
immigrants from abroad have during
the year come to merge with our W
people, which is IN itself a proof that no
other land compares with ours. Amid
the prosperity there have been several
appalling railroad accidents. and one
steamboat catastrophe in New York har-
Dor was altogether lamentable.
There have been serious labor troubles
In two or three States. They ought to
be an incentive to Congress and to every
State Legislature to frame such an arbi-
tration law as shall Justly mark out a
means to prevent those troubles in fu-
ture.
Some most eminent men have died in
our country within the year. Ex-Sena-
tor Vest, Senator Mark Hanna. Senator
George F. Hoar and many morel schol-
ars, admirals, generals-from every rank
OF life they have been called-our land
is growing more and more hallowed with
sacred graves.
Our nation has the good will of all the
world; our flag is taking on new splend'
ors every year; the glory of free institu-
tions never before had such a vindica-
ton as our country presents, in no other
land was there ever before a people so
generous, so tender, so true and brave
as our own people.-Goodwin's Weekly.
