It was early in the morning and Mrs.
Halter, following her usual custom,
prepared to start the fire in the kitchen
stove by pouring in liberal supply of
coal oil. The can exploded, throwing
oil all over her person, and soon she
was enveloped in sheet of flame.
She reached the door, which was locked,
and being overcome by the flames, she
was unable to open. it and sank down
on the floor and persisted.
Mrs. Halter was about forty years of
age. The body, when recovered, was
burned beyond recognition.
In the meantime the five children had
left the burning building through another
door and the baby was carried out safely
by his S-year-old brother. One of the
older children was badly burned while
attempting to rescue the mother.

BIG SUIT FILED
ON COPPER PROPERTY
Estate Of Late Col. ]. M. Jones
Claims S450,OO0 Damages
and TwO-thirdS Interest.
Defendants Say They Have No
Cause of Action and Cannot
Possibly Win Suit.

Papers in big law suit have been
filed this week, in connection with
the settlement of the estate of the
late Col. j. M Jones. This is the
outcome of deal on what is known
as the old Bell Mare copper property
situated about Go miles East of Love-
lock.
The plaintiff in-this suit is the es-
tate OF the late Col. j. M Jones.
The defendants are A. Boyer, and
Others. The plaintiffs sue for two
thirds interest in said property, ac-
cording to certain contract, and
for $45O,000 damages for said con-
tract not being fulfilled by defend
ants.
A short time before Col. Jones
sudden demise he had entered into
contract, so the defendants claim, to
furnish the necessary funds to pay
all claims against the Belle Mare
property. then being sold at Sheriff's
sale and to finance new company,
which would take charge Of the prop
erty and put it IN operation.
The defendants were to secure the
titles and do all in their power to get
the new company started, which they
claim they were willing to do.
The present complaint states that
the plaintiff. the Jones Estate, are
willing to fulfill their part of the con-
tract, while the defendants are not,
and therefore the plaintiffs are
damaged in the sum of $450.000.
The outcome of this suit will be
watched with interest. Mr.. Boyer
one of the defendants and the origin
al owner of the property. has placed
a great deal of hard earned money in
the claims and in furnishing provis-
ions for the operating Of the mines
at various times. He declares be
was prepared to fulfill his part Of the
contract. but the plaintiff was not,
nor has been up to the present time.
This suit will doubtless retard the
development of this promising copper
district, fact which all mining men
will regret. The magnitude of the
claim for damages shows the estimate
of the value of the mines. Several
heavy operators have had them under
consideration, but nothing can be
done until this suit is settled.

A STABBING AFT RAY.
A Drunken BraWl Comes Near End
ina Fatally.

Tuesday evening stabblng affray
occurred on the street in front of the
Owl Saloon. Two transients were
arguing some dispute when one Of
them suddenly pulled out a pocket
knife and gave the other vicious
stab right above the heart. With a
cry of pain the man who received the
stab fell to the side walk. Those
standing by thought at first he was
killed. County Physician PinDiger
was summoned and examined the
wound. He found that the blade had
struck rib and been stopped from
piercing the heart. While the wound
is serious it is by no means fatal.
In the confusion the man who did
the stabbing escaped. Shortly after
the fight Constable Wolf was summon
ed and, with an impromptu corps of
deputies he searched the town for
the man who did the stabbing, but
no trace of him has been found. 1t
is thought his victim will recover.
