A Union Miner Killed.

A Goldfeld Dispatch of the 9th, to
the Reno Journal Gays:
In a pitched battle between nom
union miners and a committee of the
Tonopah Miners Union this afternoon
at Clifiords, the scene of new strike,
fort Y five miles east OF Tonopah, Jack
Gineau, IA union man, vas shot
through the lungs and killed and
George Cole, a member of the legisla
ture was shot through the arm. Sheriff
Logan Immediately went to the scene
OF the shooting, and placed six non
union men under arrest. The MUIR
derers, after the shooting, defied a
posse of citizens and it was not until
the sheriff arrived with a posse of gun
fighters that they gave themselye:
up.
EXCITEMENT is at fever heat and the
non-union miners were brought to
this city this evening under the escort
of n strong guard. They were taken to
ClifIords just in time to prevent lynch
ing.
Cole, who was for several years
president Of the Miners Union at
Delamar, in company with a COM
mittee of union men, left for Clifiords
yesterday to interview Hymis and
several others who are all said to be
working for less than IS per day,
miners scale. During the conference
a battle ensued in which Hymns is
said to have opened fire upon the
miners committee. 1t is not known
whether the union men returned the
fire or not.
Mecical aid was summoned, but
Gineau died before the doctors arriv-
ed.
Cole will probably lose his arm, as
it is shattered above the elbow.
Gineau was well-known in all south
ern Nevada camps.

A ROBBERY.
The Corner Saloon Entered Early
Monday Morning.

During the early hours of Monday
morning last, the Corner Saloon, M
Nj. Yirt, proprietor, was entered and
robbed. The person Or persons who
burg larized the place gained an en-
trance by breaking a pane of glass in
the back door and crawled through
the opening. The key to the back
door was found behind the bar and
the door was opened, making the way
out of the saloon more accessible.
The 25-cent slot machine was found
to have been broken open and all the
money in the sack was taken, but
just how much the sack contained,
Mr.. Yirt is unable to state. The ma
chine was opened with a piece of iron
from off the brake of a car. The cash
register which contained about 81 was
carried away and up to this time the
register has not been recovered. The
front of the cash drawer was found
out by the back door. Three %revolv-
ers, two Colts and a Smith & Wesson
are also missing.
Mike closed his place of business
about 1:30, and at the time of closing
did not see any suspicious looking
characters hanging around.
This is three times within the past
few months that the saloon has been
entered and robbed and this was the
time Mike was touched" ia good, old
fashioned style. Mike has blood in
his eye and somethin' would. no doubt
be dom, if he could run on to the guilty
ones. Nevertheless, he is still doing
business ut the same old stand, even if
he is minus his cash register.
The officers in the towns along the
railroad were Immediately notified OF
the robbery but every effort 30 far to
apprehend the guilty party or parties
has proved futile. There is not the
least clew to the theft, hence the
robbery stands a mystery.

Death of Ex. Governor SadIer.

Ex-Governor Reinhold Sadler, who
has been very i'll at Ely, White Pine
county, for some weeks past, died at
his home in Eureka at an early hour
Monday morning.
A few weeks ago he visited Ely,
and WAS taken seriously i'll with pneu-
monia, but his physician was conf
dent of bringing him around all right
and he did improve, so that he was
removed to his home in Eureka. 1t
was thought that the tip had caused
no bad effects, but it was probably too
much for him in his weakened con
dition.
Governor Sndler was doubtless the
best known public man in the State.
He had been in public life for "A num-
Der of years and his record as m Off
GER of Eureka county and subsequent
ly as acting Governor and Governor OF
the State for seven years was most
commendable. He was a good BUSH
ness man and conducted the affairs of
the State strictly on business prin-
ciples, regardless of friend or foe. He
was firm and decided in his views, yet
reasonable and a very kind hearted
and aflable gentleman.

JUDGE MORRIS. ~

''This here Judge Norris is the man
for the Supreme Court. He's the best
Judge we've got And while he is
waiting for the convention to NOM
inate him for election TO that office,
this Judge Marsh ought to be ap-
pointed by Governor Cutler to fill the
une1pircd term Of Judge Bartch.
don IT know who this Judge Mortensen
is, but l know he's the right man for
the place. If ] had my way l would
have Judge Mortimer take Judge
Bartch g place Immediately, so that we
might have the benefit of his services.
Tell the people in your neighborhood TO
be sure TO send some one to the judi
cial convention who will voto for Judge
Morse for nomination to the Supreme
Court No, I've never seen him and
I don Z know which department Of the
District Court he presides over, but
Two heard that he is the best man
we've got. This mau Judge Corse is
the kind Of man that suits me. l
like his stylo, and when he gets on the
Supreme Bench we will have court
as is q court. Judge Morris did well
enough when he was Mayor Of Salt
Lake, and I am sure he would exactly
suit us on the Supreme Bench. They
may trot out all the candidates they
please, but no one can equal Judge
Mortem In my opinion. -
And that is the variegatod style of
the talk as it is whispered around
among the minor priests. Evidently
the wires got crossed while the message
was being transmitted from headquar-
ters, but it makes little difference to
the faithful; for they all understand
that, whether they know the name or
not, whether it is Morris, or Morse or
Mortensen or Marsh, the instruction Is
really for Judge Charles w. Morse, at
present District Judge and one OF the
ablest mon on the bench--whose
friends aspire for his nomination as
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court Of the State of Utah.
After all, what difference does il
mako whether the people who advocate
him and are spreading his fame know
him by sight or by any correct designa-
ton, 30 long as they are shaping up the
delegations to be solid for him at the
State convention7 Let other people
have all the empty reward Of public
knowledge of their names, but let
Judge Morse have the nomination. That

peculiar methods which prevail here

The ringeters who, we hear, are
counting upon Representative Joseph
Howell to restrain his nephew, Judge
Howell of Ogden, from erraignlng At
torney-General Breeden and United
States Marshal Spry for contempt of
court arc no doubt figuring wild. 1t
is not in tho least likely that Repro
sentative Howell would have the au-
dacity to commit fresh contempt in
this scaudalous case, nor that Judge
Howell could be induced by this added
contempt to ignore the prime olfense
committed by Messrs. Breeder md
spry.
The case is bad enough as it stands,
without further interf erence from Rep
resentative Howell or any other per
son. Judge Howell without doubt
knows his duty, and it would BIO a
marvel if, after exposing the auda-
cious and disreputable attempt to con-
troll his decision in the Chambers case
and his patience in waiting for the
proper time to deal with it as a con-
tempt of court, he should now fail of
his duty for any reason whatever. Rep
resentative Howell will no doubt be

A SQUARE ISSUE.

1t is beyond the power of even the
prophets to state what will be the re-
suit of this years campaign in Idaho
against the polygamy and political in
reference of the Mormon church HE
rarcby. Present indications strongly
point to an overthrow of the un-Amer-
lean system and the complete triumph
of the American sentiment which has
been so vigorously expressed in this
fight by Senator Fred T. Dubois. But
these signs may fail Of ful6llment on
election day and tho hierarchs may
gain little breathing time. However,
their hour Of influence and protected
offense in Idaho is drawing to a close.
Whether they shall win the preliminary
skirmish this year or whether they
shall lose, past experience should dem
onstrate to them that this battle, once
render.
Idaho has but to repeat one signif-
cant chapter Of her own history, has
but to be guided by her own State
Constitution in order to rout the HE
rarchs, horse, foot and dragoon. This
is the destined end, whether it shall
come this year or two years later,
The issue could not be moro definite
The State Constitution of Idaho, which
has been accepted by the Congress of
this Nation and the idea of which has
been supported by the decision Of the
Supreme Court of tho United States,
declares that no person who is 4 mem
Der OF or contributes to the support Of
church which teaches or advises
polygamy can vote or hold office The
Mormon church teaches polygamy. The
proof of its teaching is found in the
Doctrine and Covenants Of the Nor
mon church, which contains ,manda-
tory pretended revelation directing the
practice of polygamy. Nothing within
that book in its latest issue nullifies
that teaching, 1t remains the author
itative law of tho church-whereve
and whenever polygamists seek to take
advantage of its provisions-notwith
standing the fact that the manifesto
inhibiting polygamy is a later law and
was accepted by the church, for the
manifesto is not made a part of the
Doctrine and Covenants, and therefore
by its own standard works the church
is condemned.
1t is not likely that the hierarchy
will follow the plan which it formerly
pursued in meeting the issue in Idaho.
When the test oath was in the statute
books of the then Territory, President
William Bulge and Apostle Penrose
advised Mormons to withdraw their
names from the books Of the church
IN order that they might take the
oath. Hundreds Of them did 80, and
some were prosecuted for perjury and
others refused to return to the church
the result being such a miserable
failure for the church that it is not
likely to recur to the folly and the
perGdy of that method.
