Chief of Police Edward NJ. Fen
ner, of Troy, Bradford county, was
murdered last Saturday morning
while in the performance of his du-
ty. His body was found lying in
an ally, shot through the heart and
another bullet had gone through his
left leg and the groin and was found
in his hip pocket. There is no clue
as to the perpetrators Of the crime.
The supposition is that he surprised
several men who were attempting
to break into a blacksmith shop
near where the officers body was
found, and engaged in Il pistol duel
with them and SO met his death.
A reward of 81 600 is offered for the
apprehension of the murderers.

A New Russian Strike.

The world now finds itself wonder
ing how long the new Russian strike
will last and what will be the end of
it. Like the other it was a political
movement to which the government
surrendered. Its slowness to perform
the conditions imposed upon it mas
precipitated the present strike which
can be brought to a close in one or
two ways-by a more absolute surren-
der by the government or by force. 1t
is unlikely that the car will give up
more than he had promised and it is
by no means sure that the liberal
White would suggest such a course.
The strikers, whose former move
ment was so successful, will almost
certainly be inspired to offer harder
conditions. The strikers are more
favorably situated than they were be-
fore for that movement was prema-
turely projected. They had in prep
aration a great industrial rebellion to
be precipitated at the end of the year.
They gained ground and the govern
ment lost in the recent engagement
and the country is ripper than ever
for the great revolt of the political
workingmen

FELL DOWN A SHAFT
Death OF Peter Sorensen, a Yavapai
Miner.

Peter V. Sorensen, a man we'll known
in this county, and beloved and re-
spected by all who knew him, died at
the Mercy hospital last evening about
5: 80 o'clock as the result of an acct
dent in falling down a shaft in the
Sultan mine, distance of about fifty
feet on Sunday evening last, says the
Journal Miner of Prescott. He came to
Yavapai county some years ago from
Utah. where some of his relatives re-
side. He was AGED about thirty five
years, and while following the vocation
of miner, received the injuries that
resulted in his death
1t appears that he was putting new
timbers in a shaft about so feet III
depth, and had a platform in the shaft
swinging on a rope attachment, which
he started to lower after sending his
helper after some tagging.
While his helper was gone, the plat
form, in some manner not known, tilt
ed to one side, and precipitated him to
the bottom. When the helper return
ed. he heard Sorensen grooming at the
bottom of the shaft. The supposition
is that he came out of the shaft to I'M
loosen the ropes, preparatory to lower
ing the platform and either slipped in,

BOBBING UP
Impossible to Keep Some
Men of Strong Will
Down

Financiering seems to be innate with
many of our prominent men. Right al
the top rung in the history of some 81
gantic enterprise, unforeseen or I'M
avoidable conditions leave them penni-
less and in debt.
History proves that the majority OF
these mercantile princes reassemble
themselves and in a short time are al
the wheel with some colossal concern
broader and greater than it's predeces-
sor, spurred through apparent failure
10 greater victories.
Another merchant, a weakling, who
has established an average business
when through some similar conditions
he is in the sheriffs hands. What
does he do? Very probably he breaches
that "he was too honest" and that "thC
deserving never do get ahead" etc,
the rest of his life and hires himself
out on salary to somebody else
Imagine a baby who would refuse 10
learn to walk because it once stubbed
its toe and fell!
Where are the men who make things
come their way-who refuse to
acknowledge defeat?
They are the men whose names are
on the bankers books, whether for
small savings or large accounts. They
are the men of will power who make
the start for independence, and have
the manhood to stick to it,
There are several folders of interest
to any person of business inclinations

A Complex rlachlne.

The insurance investigation which
has been in progress for severa
weeks, has disclosed among other
things that the business is so complex
that officers high in authority have
not been able to fariliarize them
selves with what may be called glgan-
tic details. Sums ranging from $780,.
in such a manner that even 100000
a year presidents and vice presidents
could not say what they had been used
for. The books contained mention of
these trifling sums but threw no other
light on their disposition. Reference
is always made by witnesses to some
other official or employe of the COM
pany in whose department this trans
action took place; he may be able to
throw some light on the affair.
For instance, in the investigation of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
the committee couple of months ago
came upon an item of $6S5.00O which
appeared to be a loan of the Mercan-
tile Trust company. 1t merely ap-
peared under the head of ~. w. Alex
ander No. Account" None of the
many witnesses who had been called
could enlighten the committee.
James II. Hyde, who for the first
time appeared before the committee
on Tuesday, gave a history of this
transaction. 1t does not appear from
the dispatches when the loan was eff
fected, but Mr.. Hyde said his atten-
ton was first called to the Alexander
No. account three years ago by
President Alexander, who induced him
to write a letter to the trust company.
Mr.. Hyde's recollection of the latter
part of this transaction was somewhat
vivid as he had to pay $4,000 of the
loan. He was told, ne says, that the
loan was made for the good of the
society, to take up stock that was be-
ing forced up to fictitious values to
the detriment of the company and for
campaign purposes. He knew only
that a part of the stock so purchased
was resold for $4,000 and that that
sum with the like amount contributed
by him was paid to the trust company.
The balance of the loan was made
good by Alexander and Jordan.
The information of Mr.. Hyde re-
garding this transaction was rather
hazy but it was the first the commit
tee had been able to secure from any
source.
This testimony was by no means as
important as some other offered by
Mr.. Hyde and perhaps the transaction
to which it related was as harmless
to the policyholders as any other. 1t
merely illustrates the completely of
the great machine of life insurance
whose intricacies even high officers
swear they do not understand. What
possibilities for fraud have been Of
forded by the system which is now
undergoing investigation
