Il didn't say it was new-only, the

deliberately. here was girl who,

her time in ways that were, to the man.

but for himself he knew he couldn't
live that life. not even for her dear

Maybe the girl Helen began, but
Melville hurried on as though fearful
that if he were stopped lie might not
say 1t.
You see, too he wasn't sure of his
ability to hold her. Suppose, even
though she were brave and sweet
enough to give up the things he
couldn't share, that a longing for the

while her heavy lashes covered the
tears in her purple eyes, ''I'm-sure-

closely into the velvety purple depths.

not go to El Paso OIL that train,
and offering the conductor money
he was thrown by the conductor
from the caboose while the train
was running.
Left by the track in a dying
condition he was picked up by
passenger No., 80 and brought to
this place and placed in the
hospital where he soon after
wards died.
The lower limbs were badly
crushed and his internal injuries
were of a fatal nature.
A coroner's inquest was COM
menced and adjourned till yes

the coroner's court was as fol-
lows:

throw the deceased from the
caboose or use violence in eject
ing him from the caboose.
The deceased was a Mason,
member of Bisbee, Arizona,
lodge, and at the request of that
lodge the Masonic body of this
place took charge of the body
and conducted the funeral.
He was a member of the Pres
byterian church and religious

and appropriate talk paid the
deceased a beautiful Christian
eulogy.
After this the Masons conclud-
ed the funeral at the grave.
The widow arrived from El

band, and her care has been in
the hands Of the Masons Of this
place.
Thus we see mans life cut

EXPLANATION DEMANDED At ONCE
Admiral Rojesvensky Publishes Letter Charging That the
British Fleet Was Held in Readiness to Sink His
Ships if the Japanese Failed.

The Russian government will probably
decline to settle the claims of foreign
ers for damages sustained during the
riots at Moscow and elsewhere on the
ground, as was previously the case when
claims for damages were made by for
eigners whose property at BalNu was
damaged, that, while every effort had
been and would be made to protect for
eigE interests and property, foreigners
living IN Russia are entitled only to the
redress which Russian subjects have
namely, to recover in law from the riot
ers and local authorities. the imperial
government not being liable.
Different in China.
This is the position which Russia took
in the case of the destruction Of Chinese
property at Vladivostok, although Rus
sia's share of the Boxer indemnity eX-
acted from China was $S7, SOC. 900. Russia
also recently presented a claim against
Persia for the destruction of Russian life
ard property.
1t was learned today from an authori-
tative source that the Russian govern
ment has been without communication
with General Linevitch for almost five
weeks.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 3.-The remarkable
allegation that the British fleet was held
in readiness to destroy the Russian fleet
IL the battle Of the Sea of Japan had
gone in the Russians favor, is made by
Admiral Rojestvensky in a letter pub

of Admiral Togo in regard to the dis
position of his forces, ROjestvensky de-
clares that this was unknown even to
the admiral Of the British fleet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated his
forces at Wei Hal Wei in expectation
of receiving an order to annihilate the
Russian fleet if this, the final object
OF Great Britain, was beyond the power
Of the Japanese"
