FORMER BINGHAM MAN
ARRESTED IN NEVADA
W. H. Jackson, Wanted on En-
bezzlement Charge, Now
In Custody.

w. II. Jackson, former treasurer Of
the Bingham Miners union, is under ar
rest at Eureka, New, and Sheriff Emery
was advised yesterday that he was be-
ing held, awaiting requisition papers
jackson made his getaway from the
copper camp nearly two years ago, TAX
ing with him, it is alleged, the funds
of the union, amounting TO several hun
dred dollars, What made his offense
particularly aggravating, officers Of the
union say, was the destruction of all
the union records by which he hoped,
it is thought. to battle attempts to dis
cover his shortage.
Jackson g arrest came about through
his accidental discovery by il Bingham
man who was spending day in Eu-
reka, several weeks ago. Dave Teach
nor, one of the oldtlme mining men
and prospcctors of the Bingham dis
trict, was returning from a tour of the
Nevada gold fields and, stopping off
In Eureka, met Jackson by the mcrcst
chance upon the street. Teachnor was
deputy sheriff at Bingham when Jack
son left there, and the alleged alb.
scondcr evidently believed he was still
an officer for he made an effort to
avoid being recognized. This led Mr..
Teachnor to inquire more closely into
the identity of the man, whom he
thought he knew, and when he returned
TO Bingham told the story in the pres
encc of n Bingham Bulletin reporter,
who gave it publicity.
When the story appeared in the Bing
ham paper, the officials OF the union APP
piled to County Attorney Christensen
for warrant, which was sworn TO by
E. G. Locke, the union secretary, about
a week ago.
In April the Bingham Miners union
suffered another loss at the hands OF a
defaulting treasurer, when A. L. Lewis
abscondcd, it is alleged, with the en-
| tire treasury fund. Lewis also was
street supervisor for the town and was
| considerably short, it is said, in his
water fund accounts, but the latter
was made good by friends. 1t has al
ways been supposed that Lewis, who
had been drinking, had gone into an
abandoned tunnel in the hills and
committed suicide. but no trace of him
either dead or alive, has ever beer
found. He was bonded by an Eastern
surety company and is still being
| hunted for, but the union has decided
TO discourage the habit and Jackson vii
be prosecuted to the full limit.

long been In vogue In Bingham. are 10 be
resortcd to. and the right OF the State
convention and the committee on creden-

be denied. and instead the church crowd
will hold semi ecclesiastical trial. at

voted the A. V. Anderson ticket but In
spite OF their combined efforts tho Rob

Only one vote was challenged during the
primary, but the church crowd shut out
nearly nifty OF tho Robinson adherents by
closing the polls twenty-five minutes be-
fore the hour was up. Atha Williams.
the acting chairman, ruled that the polls
must close promptly at o'clock. al
though they had only been opened thirty
lve minutes, when the rules for con-
ductlng the primaries provided that they
should remain open for one hour.
Sunday the disgruntled church Repub-

notified them that the hearing would be
conducted before Justice of the Peace
