of Count on Trial

presumed that the defense will at
tempt to prove that the count was
illicit in his relations to Mrs. Hines
The defendant met his wife, then
Miss Edith Mari of San Francisco,
pretty and petite, at Nome in 1899,
and year later the count went to
Alaska 1t is said that the nobleman
first met Mrs. Hines while her hus-
band was away from home in 1906
and that upon Mr. Hines return his
wife left for Seattle to visit her mo-
ther at Wenatchee, Washington, and
that at about the same time the
count disappeared from Nome. 1t is
alleged that Mrs Hines and the count
spent the greater portion of the sum-
mer at Vancouver. Mrs Hines re-
turned to Nome after the sojourn at
Vancouver and then Mr. and Mrs.
Hines came to the states. They came
to Goldfield last spring from New
York and apparently the count arrived
about the same time, hence tne kill

THUGS MAKE ATTEMPT
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
But Are Scared Away by Pedes-
trianS. Tools Are Found
This Morning

That a bunch of holdup men and
crooks are in this city was evidenced
last ngiht when a police call was
turned in on account of men hiding
in the rear of the Bright saloon and
later this morning when the tools
OF the gang were found nld under a
whiskey barrel in the rear of the
saloon conducted by Andrew Rob-
ert.
Last evening about twelve o'clock
DR.. Circe was passing the Fryer home
and noticed two men standing near
the Bright saloon near the entrance
to the alley. AS the doctor wears
some valuable jewelry he stepped out
into the street to avoid passing the
strangers. AS he gained the front of
the Fryer home he was hailed by Mrs
Thompson and she informed him that
someone had attemuted to break into
her home by removing a screen from
one of the windows and that later
she had seen a man busily engaged
doing something in the alley back of
the house. The doctor Immediately
notified the officer but the men ha1
flown. Owing to the darkness it was
impossible for the uoctor to recog-
niZe the men and they were in the
dark side Of the street at the entrance
to the alley.
This morning an investigation of
the alley was made and the tools of
the gang were located. They consist
ed of a heavy sledge brace and sew
eral bits and numerous punches of all

INJUNCTION ASKED

sizes. The tools were stolen earlier
in the evening from the shop of John
Cation in the southern part of town.
The men entered one of the back
windows and secured the tools from
the work benches in the place. The
most surprising thing about this piece
of work is that they took about the
worst articles they could find. With
a good assortment to pick from they
took several broken and twisted bits
and several old punches that were
WORTHLESS to anyone, and it is the be
lief of the officers that they were
amateurs at the game. While the
tools were bad lot at the same time
they would have done the work for
them.
Everything points to the belief that
the intention of the men was to break
into the back entrance to the Golden
Jewelry store as the tools were found
near the back kdoOr and further this
was the only place on the block that
would have tempted the men to COM
nit robbery except Dick Brght's place
and at the time the men were dis
covered the place was well felled
with men talking over the prize fight.
The men were probably unaware
that a man with sawed off shotgun
slept in the rear of the jewelry store
and if they had attempted to force
an entrance they would have met
with a lively reception and coro-
ner's inquest would have settled the
matter today

The papers are filed almost daily
with particulars Of how a man ives
fatally beaten by the husband Oh a
woman who seems to have been the
cause of all the trouble. Various
opinions are given regarding the men
but nothing is said about the woman.
When a married woman goes astra.r,
it is because she wants to. A young
girl may be hypnotized into an infatu-
alton which makes her helpless; it is
not true of wife. The courts will
see to the man, but public opinion
should hold the woman at her worth
and give her to understand that he1
crime is understood and remembered

Allegheny river dam at Springdale,
where the current has already swept
away ten houses and several buildings

by breaking the dam. enormous prop
erty loss will be sustained The value

stroyed is placed at $4,000 while
ground has been dug out to depth of
nearly thirty-five feet.
