HON. HENRY HUNSICKER
Is a Candidate for the Office of
Railroad Commissioner.

The formal announcement of
Hon. Henry Hunsicker as can
didate for the Office of Railroad
Commissioner for the Third Rail
road District of Louisiana, is
welcomed by his friends, who
have been anticipating this pub
LEGATION. Until recently he had not
determined to enter into the
contest for the nomination at the
primary election on Thursday,
September 6, but the encourage
ment he has received gives him
the strongest assurance of success.
Mr.. Hunsicker is q man of the
people, and is, so to speak, SELF
made. Through his own efforts
he has gradually risen from an
humble position to representative
from Caddo to the House of
Representatives, where his record
for efficiency and substantial
ability, measured by his work,
will compare favorably with the
most prominent of the distin-
guished men of the General As
sembly. AS a man of the people,
he fully understands and appre-
ciates, from practical experience,
the needs of the masses with
whom he has always been in full
sympathy. He is free-handed,
untrammeIed in action and in
speech, and has no connection,
direct or indirect, with any conf
bine or corporation. He has no
pledge to fulfill nor promises to
execute In the future. For guide
he has the plain dictates of duty
and the law which applies to the
Railroad Commission and which
he will, if elected, observe and
maintain fairly and fearlessly.
If it be desired to have young
man on the commission who will
be active in guarding the interests
Of the producer, the shipper and
the carrier, the responsibility as
we'll as the honor of the position
may we'll be bestowed on Mr..
Hunsicker whose popularity is
not confined to Shreveport and
Caddo, his home parish, but
extends throughout the twenty
one parishes comprising the Thu d
Railroad District Of Louisiana.
Mr.. Hunsicker is thoroughly i
Identified with the best interests of
the planter, the farmer and busi-
ness man, and has the welfare of
the masses in mind and in heart.
His record of success rs a menu
Der of tibet Legislature may be
reckoned as an index to HE pos
sibllities as one of the people, on
the Railroad Commission.
And In this connection it should
he said that he introduced and
passed, through the Legislature,
after a trying contest with the
opposition, the law abolishing
gambling in pool rooms and turf
exchanges. This law was contested
radically at every point and
through the State court to the
Supreme Court where it was
finally affirmed.

Causes Much Talk.

The case has caused more talk than any local happening for long time. MT. Rob ins's attempt at self destruction is probably due to worry, from which he has not been free for a good many months.
 Left here last fall by the Rampant City Gold Mines Company with no further pow CTS, it is said than that of caretaker of the company's property on Big Minook creek, during the winter he formed n coalition with an association of men who had acquired cer- tain rights formerly exercised by Monroe S Lindsey on Hoosier creek, and u large part of the Rampant City company's hydraulic appliances was moved from Big Minook to Hoosier.
 Meantime, Donald Mclean acquired cer- tain water rights on Hoosier creek which menaced the coalesced hydraulic interests. Mir Robins appeared not to be in robust health, and the thought that possible dis aster faced his under aking, made in good faith to his eastern employers, undoubtedly subjected him to great mental strain.
 When Manager Koonee of the Rampant City company arrived from the east few weeks ago a eompromise was effected with Mir. Mclean, and work proceeded. and Is still proceeding. oH the installation of the hydraulic plant on Hoosier creek.

MINERS ASSOCIATION
 MET LAST SUNDAY

There was a large attendance at the meet Miners Association last Sunday.
 NJ. S. Gill was elected vice president to suc- ceed Louis Iverson, who has removed from the district.
 The meeting was enthusiastic in under taking the preliminary work of campaign for the election of delegate to congress, in case the delegate bill becomes law. vote was taken for delegates to represent Ram part district at territorial convention which will probably be called if Alaska is granted a delegate in congress. At meet ing of the Glen-side section a similar vote will be taken, and the three men getting the highest number of the two combined votes will become the duly accredited Rampant delegates. The Glen siders will meet next Sunday after which the result of the action regarding the delegate matter will be tele- craphed to the Fairbanks association, which body will also he apprised of Ramrart's choice for place of holding the convention and of other things important to the cause If news is received that the delegate bill has passed runners will doubtless be sent to Coldfoot to carry the glad tidings to the up- ward of 25O people in the Koyukuk.
 A telegram from Governor Brady calling for contributions to the san Francisco relief fund was read. and committee consisting of W. II. Callham, q. Brown and George w.. Ledger was appointed to canvass the creeks. The telegram was delivered to Fred E. Rader to circuint eamong the townspeople. Al last accounts the creeks committee was meeting with great success.
 It may he that the special meeting just held W ill obyiatc the necessity for the regu- lar meeting in June.

Rampant from California paper devoting much space to A. H. Monroe, vice president and general manager of an alleged mining company claiming to own outright half a dozen valuable mining claims and interests in as many more in Rampant district, with others under the company's management on Cook, Copper and Panama rivers. The Ram part property was said to be on Little Mi nook They had the best ground in the whole district. Monroe alleged that the company had "S335,0O0 already paid up' of the S5OO,OOO capital stock. He was travelling in the interest of the company. Incidentally he was looking for u wife to share his newly acquired riches. And many other state ments so l,idcrous as to be highly amusing to those acquainted with the facts
 It was stated that s. P. Robins, secretary and J. B. Wingate and c. H. Ehrhorn, two directors of the company, remained at Ram part to look after the property.
 Quite naturally the Yukon Valley News wanted to print the clipping. It had been showed to the paper in confidence by man who did not want to antagonize Robins, con nected, as he was, with the greatest mining undertaking of the camp: if Robins would consent the publication might be made and
  Robins was dickered with; but uniformly he would first want to consult with the others, and then would ask that the publication be delayed one more week. Finally he was told that no more overtures would be made; and in the presence of witnesses it was pointed out to him that the scheme being worked or attempted was as criminal as that practiced by the Midas creek" swindlers at Nome, one of whom had just been sentenced to the penitentiary.
 In day or two more Mir. Robins told the Yukon Valley News man that he had re- uounced all connection with the Monroe company people. Holding up piece of paper he said it was a telegram to his people in the east, telling them that he repudiated the whole thing.
 Such are the leaders of the gang that un- uuestionably laid the foundation of Robins's undoing.
 To what extent this clumsy crew of crimi- nal conspirators have protited or will profit through the agency of Mir. Robins can not be said. That he at last realized where his hoodoo originated does not relieve the un- fortunate condition it has landed him in.

JOHN EGAN'S BENCH CLAIM.

It is stated on reliable authority that George Krasting aad Nick Bloom, on John Egan's bench claim between Omega and Thanksgiving, are sure to wash up at least S20,C00, with a likelihood that this sum will be greatly exceeded.
 Pay was only struck on this ground about the last of January, and results are bearing out predictions made at that time that it would prove to be one of the richest strikes ever made in the camp.

INSANITY OF
 s. p. ROBINS
Season of Worry, Eccentric Acts, and a Premeditated Attempt
 at Self Destruction.

s. P. Robins was before a jury in the com was adjudged insane.
 At the hearing it was brought out that the man had attempted to take his own life the preceding night.
 Mir. Robins is a brother-in-law of Manager NJ. E. Koonce of the Rampant City Gold Mines Company. They cabined together on Hooser creek. Friday night Mir. Robins was lying in the top bunk while Mir. Koonce, faced in another direction, sat reading. Mir. Koonce heard Mir. Robins climb down out of the bunk but did not look around till he heard the clicking or snapping of pistol. A glance showed Robins with Colts auto matc revolver in his hand, which he was in the act of raising to his head. Mir. Koonce sprang onto the man and took the gun from him.
 It appears that MT. Robins had the pistol to his head and attempted to fire when the snap of the weapon was first heard, but the safety attachment in place and pre- vented an explosion. When the pistol was wrenched away the safety attachment had been changed and the weapon was ready for firing.
 Mr. Robins told MT. Koonce that his inter- ference would prove futile in the end; that he had for some time contemplated ending his life: and that a letter in the bottom of his grip would explain all.
 The pistol and rife that was in the cal bin was placed out of reach and the man was kept under surveillance while Mir. Koonce came to town and swore to a complaint.
 When Deputy Marshal Drake served the papers Mir. Robins said the allegations in the complaint were true. The letter was found in the grip, where he said it was. It was addressed to his wife and child in Pennsyl- vania, saying he loved them, and bidding them good-by.
 At the hearing MT. Koonce testified that us long as he had known him Mir. Robins had been of an impulsi,e disposition, inclined to act on important matters without due con sideration. Eccentric acts were mentioned, which one witness said he had construed more as an evidence of iueNperience in the line of work in which he was engaged than of insanity. He had also been heard to com plain of strange sensation which would slowly go up one leg and down the other, which he believed to be due to a hoodoo he got by staying in Monroe's cabin.
