.COLDF|ELD SUN
DEF|ES ENEMIES
Latter Declare Any Attempt to Sell
Papers Today VIII Result in
Employees Being Run Out
of Town

GOLDFIELD, New, Sept. At is
probable that tomorrow's fight carnival
will not end with the Nelson Cans con-
test, but that there will be a fight of
another kind between the Goldfield Sun
and the Industrial Workers of the
World.
This organization, which is composed
of cooks and walters, saloon employees
and kindred workmen, has declared a
boycott on the local daily paper, the
Sun, and has notified the staff of the
paper to join their union or leave town.
The Sun is owned by Lindley C.,
Branson, who also owns the Tonopah
Sun. In this latter paper Branson in
an article headed "Come On, You Cow
ardly Ours" defies the union and Of
fers it's members any kind of a fight
they want.
Yesterday the Sun was sold on the
streets of Goldfield by husky men con-
nected with the paper, but beyond
some rather plain spoken comments on
the part of the boycotters there was
no demonstration. Tomorrow, how
ever. will be holiday and there will
be big crowd in town.
Threats have been made that IL the
Sun is published tomorrow every man
connected with 1t will be run out of
town. The Sun people say they will
publish and that they will put up a
fight If any attack is made on them.
The boycott on the Goldfeld Sun was
declared, not because of any offense
committed by the Goldheld paper, but
because the TO, opah Sun criticised the
policy of the I. w. w.
Efforts have been made to purchase
the Goldfield paper from Branson and
he is reported as being willing to sell.
The union will not remove the boycott,
even IL the paper changes hands. as
they do not want Branson to benefit
by the purchase money.
1t Is stated that the miners union
and other industrial unions here are
not In sympathy with the doings of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Tonight Frank Horton, a printer and
a member Of the typographical union,
was kidnapped by four members of the
l. w. W., and escorted out of town.
Horizons brother is prominent banker
here and no time was lost in getting
the sheriff and force of deputies after
the men.
They were overhauled and Horton
was brought back to town. The pick
cts of the union have been taking snap
shots of every person visiting the Sun
Office and the photographs have been
posted on a bulletin in front of the
union headquarters.
Men bearing placards are parading
the streets and warning people that any
one who patronizes the Goldheld Sun
win be boycotted.
The mine owners and merchants Of
the camp are not in sympathy with
the 1. w. W.. but as yet they have
taken no action.
Tonight the Western Union Tele-
graph company was notified by the
walking delegation of the union that
no more telegraph messages should be
delivered TO the Sun The Office OF the
paper is under guard day and night.

rnirez' Life After Course Of Bru-
tai Treatment That Arouses
Foothills Town

Another brutal murder of woman

cisca Ramirez to death.
The Mexican shot the woman first
through the right cheek as she fled
from him through the door to the
shack where the couple have been liv-
ing as man and wife for several
months. He then took deliberate aim
at her PROSTATE body and fired another
shot through her brain, killing her in

on his trail within an hour after the
murder was discovered, he was moi
found up to late hour last night.
The posse which went after the
murderer was heavily armed and If he
had been found last night he would
have undoubtedly been lynched, as the
men We're wrought up to fever pitch
of indignation by the dastardly crime
His trail was found in walnut or
chard several miles from the starting
point. but was soon lost in the chap
arral.
Deputy Sheriffs Goodman and Gil.
bert worked all yesterday afternoon
searching for Albitfe. but beyond the
one trace found they accomplished
little.

night in the hope of intercepting the
man when he left the wash.

relatives In the vicinity of Whittier
and 1t is believed that he will try t.
gain shelter there.
Coroner Trout went to Monrovia yes
terday afternoon as soon as he was in
formed of the murder and the verdic
arrived at him was willfu murder.
The Mexican, it is stated, served /;
term at San Quentin for attempting t,

DRAWING NET TO
CAPTURE F. COOK
GORDON OF POLICE SURROUND
ASCOT PARK
Alleged Wife Murderer Seen at Two
Places Inside City Limits and
Officers Are Hot on
His Trail

In the belief that Fred Cook, alleged
wife murderer, was on the eve of cap
ture, Gordon of deputy sheriffs and
policemen surrounded the district near
Ascot park early yesterday morning,
where Cook was seen by at least two
persons.
1t is said he called at. one home and
demanded to be admitted. The owner
of the house said his wife was i'll and
shut the door in his face, following
a long conversation with Cook.
A telephone message was sent to
the police station and within half an
hour a number of patrolmen from the
University .ub-station and several
deputy sheriffs seacrched the vicinity
where Cook was seen, but in vain.
Cook also was seen at a little all
night lunch wagon near the car barns
in East Fifty-sixth street. He pur-
chased meal and is said to have dis
played considerable money.
Following the rumor of his appear
ance near the city limits, Captain
Broadhead harnessed his horse and
drove about the outskirts Of Los An
geles, while Patrolmen Home and King
searched every street, road and path
within several miles of the park.
Mounts Chiefs Horse
Later in the day George Horne
mounted Billy" Chief Auble's sad
die horse, and rode for miles in the
country in search of the fugitive.
1t is believed that Cook purchased a
weapon at Redondo and now is armed.
Others theorize that he carried two
revolvers at the time he is said to
have shot his wife and still keeps one
of the weapons. The other was left
in the car.
Whichever theory is correct, the po-
lice belve Cook is armed and ready
to battle for his life.
They say he will never be captured
alive but will either commit suicide
or else try 20 shoot the men who en-
deavor to arrest him.
MARKS of Identification
Cook should be easily identified. He
is said to have a cut in the chin, sew
eral lacerations on the nose and wears
a stubby black beard. His black hair,
dyed red. is already showing the darker
hair at the roots. He walks lame.
The police believe some of the per-
/ sons who claim to have seen Cook
| were mistaken but it is certain the
alleged murderer was seen near Ascot
| park and was concealed in the under
brush near the park or along the river
| bank all day.
| Late in the afternoon Detective IN
| gram went away on fresh cleW and
| Patrolmen Home and King went hot
after a report Cook was sleeping be-
meath an abandoned barn not far from
| Florence.
With all the contradictory rumors
and reports, it is positive, say the
police, that the Gordon Is slowly being
| drawn about the wanted man and that
he cannot escape detection much longer.

TRICK THAT DIES ADJOINING
Conspiracy TO Gust ZImman and In
stall Benson, without Either's
Knowledge, Fails.

As related by one Of the councilmen con-
cerned a very pretty bit of legislation
failed to connect with reality at the council
meeting Tuesday night.
A scheme to Gust Zlmman from the
mayors chair and hoist in no other than
E. A. Benson was concocted, but went to
pieces in the parboiling. Several Of tho
councilmen most intensely opposed to Zim-
man were the chief conspirators. but they
failed to corral enough votes to make the
deal a success and It was dropped.
Neither Mr. Benson nor Mr.. Zimman was
supposed to know anything about the deal,
but the latter got wind of it during the
afternoon and took a particularly keen in
terest in preparing for 1t. Two of the coup
cilmen who refused to go into plot were
Comstock and Dyball. No hopes were en-
tertained of enlisting Hoye and OBrien
and minus these four. five votes or ma
jority, was out of the question. So the
scheme had a tombstone built over It al
most before It was erected
Besides antipathy toward the mayor ex-
officio his presence on the canvassing board
of the primary election returns furnished
additional leverage TO the wish to retire
him to the rank Of plain president of the
city council. Zimman has made no secret
Of his contempt for City Clerk Elbourn
during the recount proceedings.
