Shooting at the Arlington.

Last Sunday morning Jake Shaffer,
young man boarding at the Airing
ton hotel, created quite sensation
by indulging in little gun play. 1t
seems that he was in love with a
beautiful young girl who was en-
ployed in the hotel. They had had
some disagreement and the young
man drew a revolver from his pocket
and said Il am going to end it all. {"
He placed the weapon to his temple.
The girl rushed out of the room to
call assistance just as he fired. The
ball left gaping wound in the, ell,
ceiling, but Jacob escaped uninjured
He was taken into custody and the
next day plead guilty to the modest
charge of carrying concealed weapons
and Squire Cutting sentenced him to
20 days in the new county Jail. -

A daring postof1ice robbery at North
wood last Thursday ended in the

John Olson. who shot him as he was
escaping. About two O'Clock that

the front door locked and proceeded
to the back where he saw. a second

end of the building to escape. Draw
ing his pistol he fired, hitting the rob-
Der in the breast. Calling for help,
office, gun in hand and, after disarm-
ing the man, made him prisoner.
Much excitement followed the arrest,
and the population of the little city
was soon on the streets. The injured
bandit was taken to livery barn
nearby and his wounds dressed. Some
fuse and dynamite caps were found on
his person together with $6 in money.
The man gave his name as Thomas
Ambrose and said his home was in
West st. Paul, where his folks live.
He says he came to Northwood on the
midnight train and went at once to
the postoffice, where he effected an
entrance by breaking window. 1t
is known that he is professional
craftsman from the job he did on
the safe, which was hardly scratched
following the explosion.
In a statement confessing the crime,

shadow while climbing out of the
window and was preparing to shoot
when the officers bullet struck him

the remark that it was a HI of a

Vice President Of Western Federation
Of Miners Expresses Himself on

Goldfield, New, Dec. 26.-Late this
afternoon officials of the Miners
union and G. E. Mahoney, vice presi-
dent of the Western Federation Of
Miners, who is here to effect a settle
ment OF the strike, learned Of the
plans Of the Mine Owners associa-
tion of Goldfield to obtain an injunc-
ton through the federal court pre-
venting picketing and bringing about
the dissolution of the Goldfeld Min
ers' union.
Asked tonight what the course Of
the miners would be in face Of this
latest move of the opposition, Ma
honey said:
can Injunction of this kind, If is
sued, will mean that there is nothing
left for the miners to do but to go
jump into the sea. Had the petition
been for writ restraining the min
ers from picketing or boycotting, I
would not have been surprised. In
the bill OF complaint, however, as +
understand 1t. there are two new
points; one, the prayer for an order

miners from continuing their organ
ization on the ground that 1t is a
nuisance; the other point, that Is new
is the request that the Goldf1eld Min
ers' union be dissolved.
Miners Will Net Submit.

that the Goldheld miners will tamely
submit to such procedure are greatly

ence. Injunctions have come to be a

Witnesses" said Darrow, "that Or
chard swore vengeance on Steunen-
berg for the alleged loss Of his rich
Hercules interests. The only other
man who had any interest in taking
the life Of steunenberg was Jack
Simpkins, and it would have to be
shown that he had anything to do with
it before would believe It,"
He said that while Orchard was
drawing benefits from the miners
union he was being paid as detective
for the other side, and that he had
claimed credit for q good many
crimes with which he had nothing to
do whatever.
"The defense will show" he de-
clared, "that the Vindicator explosion
was a pure accident and that Orchard
had nothing whatever to do with 1t.
We expect to show that Orchard went
out and hunted up all the crimes he
could and claimed them as his own,
boasting frequently OF crimes which
he never committed. He is a mono
maniac for claiming crimes as his own
which were committed by others.
Something had to be done to bring
the troops back but they made q mis-
take of few seconds and got a lot of
men they never intended to. The re-
suit OF the explosion was the expulsion
Of union miners from the district, and
Orchard and Adams left with the rest
and never went back"
Darrow claimed that Orchard had
nothing. to do with the Bradley explo-
sion In San Francisco. He explained
the registered letters and telegraphic
money orders by saying that Orchard
had left money with him at this uime
and sent for it while at San Francisco.
"It Is true" said Darrow, shat Or
chard took meals and some rest at
Petitioners house, but they often held
neighborly consultations as Orchard
