ON EVE OF LEAVING
is FATALLY SHOT
FATHER OF WIFE HE WAS DE.
sERTlNG USES GUN.

Morristown, N. Y, Dec. 5.-On the
evening Of sailing for Italy, Carlos
Carrierre was shot and probably fatal
wounded by his father-in-law.
Five months ago Carrierre married
Amelia Carroll, a 16-year-old girl. A
fortnight ago she was arrested, and
Carrierre, after her release on bail, re-
fused to receive her. He left town
and only returned to say goodbye To
his friends.
Amelia saw him and followed him to
the street to beg him to return. Her
father saw them together and ran out
and shot Carrierre. The surgeons sag
ne probably will die.

a PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.


Governor Says He Asked for Troops
To Protect All in Camps.
Carson City, New, Dec. 5.-Gover-
nor Sparks, who yesterday confirmed
the report that he has asked the gov
eminent for militia to hold the sit
uation in hand, both for the protec-
tion of the mines and property, miners
and mine owners Of the camp. Late
this afternoon he stated that troops
would be sent in, and that he expect
ed two companies would leave the Pre-
sidio at ASH Francisco tomorrow.
This will practically place the town
of Goldfeld under martial law. The
action Of the Tonopah mine owners in
closing their mines has, in a measure.
complicated matters, and it may be
found necessary to send troops to that
town in conjunction with Goldfeld, the
two being only 20 miles apart.
Governor Sparks states that his rea-
sons for asking for federal aid is to
fully protect both classes. The con-
servative element of miners in both
camps have signlfied willingness to
go to work, while the radicals have
given notice that should they go to
work trouble will follow. Thus, with
the troops on the scene, it is the be-
lief Of the governor that conflicts will
be avoided. The situation is being
watched with the greatest care from
the executive building in this city.

MAN ACCUSED OF STATUTORY
ASSAULT GETS 5 YEARS.
ASKS FOR new TRIAL
Alleged to Have Assaulted a Fifteen
Year-oId Girl-case Was Hard
Fought and Jury Stayed Out for a
Whole Day in Arriving at Verdict.
Especial to The Gazette.l

Red Lodge, Mont, Dec. 5.-The ad-
journed term of district court for
Carbon county began Monday. The
first case to come UP was that of the
state against Ross Wilmington, a
young rancher, who was accused OF
statutory rape, the complaining wit
ness being Ada Sproule, 15-year-old
girl, who gave birth to male child
last May.
Wilmington was arrested at the
time and gave cash bond of $1,50O
for his appearance for trial in July.
When the case was called Wilmington
was not on hand and his bond was
forfeited. In August, Sheriff f. S.
Bachelor found his man in small
town in Washington and brought him
back, and he has been in the county
Jail since.
The case was a hard fought one,
and the jury was out over "A hours
before bringing in a verdict, the find
ing being that the defendant was
guilty Of the crime charged, and fix
ing the punishment at Ave years in
the penitentiary. The defense has
flied motion for new trial, and if
that is denied will appeal to the state
supreme court. Wilmington was
married a few months before the
crime is alleged to have been COM
mitted.
The case OF Gin STEM, Tony Larilzya
and Joe Barber, three Italians who
are charged with robbing Northern
Pacific box car and severely cutting
a section hand who was sleeping in
the car, last July, is now on The pris-
oners are alleged to be members of a
Black Hand society having its head
quarters at Missoula.

ALL QUIET IN GoLDFIELD.
Operators Contemplate Opening with
Non-Union Miners.

Non-Union Miners.
Goldfeld, Dec. 5.-The news that
Governor Sparks has called upon the
government to have troops ready for
use in Goldfield on a moments call, to
restore order, was heard in this COM
munity With amazement this morning
and every one is trying to find an ex-
PLANTATION.
1t was not supposed that the strike
situation had reached such an acute
stage as to require such a precaution.
On the surface GDldfield lis as quiet as
on holiday. There is very little talk
on the streets and no agitation what
ever. The people generally accept
the move as meaning that the mine
operators are preparing to open up
with non-union miners. If this is un-
dertaken, the general opinion is that
there will be riot and bloodshed. The
having Of troops in readiness there
fore, IS only precautionary measure.
Prepare to Start Up.
The mine owners committee, which
advised Governor Sparks to make the
request for federal troops, states that
it is only a precautionary measure
suggested by the recollection of the
terrors of the Cripple Greek and the
Coeur d'Alene strikes.
The mine owners, they declare, are
preparing to start up with non-union
miners, and as this camp is strongly
unionized and led by desperate ag.-
tators, driven from one state and one
camp to another, the attempt to re-
sumo operations as an open camp will
naturally be resisted. Non-union
miners will have to be imported, they
say, and conflict will surely occur.
The miners have been quietly but
industriously preparing for trouble, as
is evidenced by the fact that they
have 500 stands Of arms in their quar-
ters. Last night large quantity OF
powder was stolen from the Booth
mine, and other depredations are talk
ing place In the outlying districts.
The tsreets OF Goldfield are quiet
and there Is an entire absence OF riot
ing, braw1ing or even agitation and
heated controversy. On the surface,
Goldheld Is enjoying holiday.

MoNoToNY OF PETTlRoNE TRIAL
STILL UNRELlEvED.
PEREIMPTORIES SCARCE
Defense Has Four Left and Prosecu
tion Three-one juror Hasn't Read
Of the Case or Discussed lt-He is
Accepted by Both Sides.

Boise, Dec. 5.-The monotonous
work Of examining talesmen in the
trial OF George A. Pettibone continued
today, and the result of the days work
was the exercising of two more 3er-
emptory challenges by the state and
one by the defense. The state has the
right to use three more peremptory
challenges and the derense four. AT
torneys on both sides today com
planned to Judge Wood against night
sessions, and it was agreed that they
should be discontinued unless it was
found that they were necessary in or
der to get a jury this week.
A model juror was found today in
George Perkin, who said that he had
never read of the case in the news
papers and had never discussed it. He
had talked to two men about it, one
believing the defendant guilty and
the other believing him innocent. Per-
kin is a stock raiser and has no neigh
DOrS WltQ1n Ii mics.
Borah Will Come.
Senator Borah telegraphed j. H.
Hawley, chief counsel for the state,
that he would leave Washington for
Boise tonight to assist in the prosecu-
tion.
When the examination Of talesmen
was resumed this morning, Charles
Warrington, who was called to the jury
box shortly before adjournment last
night, was examined and accepted by
both sides. Warrington is a street
car conductor in Boise and a member
Of the Garments union. The state used
its sixth peremptory challenge in ex-
cusing j. e. Clark. Jack Parks, a
Boise saloonkeeper, was challenged by
the state because Of a fixed opinion
in the case, and the defense admitted
the challenge. Alexander Howry, g
contractor and former member Of the
federation of labor, was called. Howry
stated that he had an opinion In re-
gard to some features Of case. He
was passed by the state, but after 8
lengthy examination by counsel for
the defense, Judge Wood allowed their
challenge. Court adjourned until aft
ernOOn
Afternoon Session.
At the afternoon session, William
Klnkaid, farmer and former street car
conductor, was passed by the state
for cause. Darrow tried for half an
hour to disqualify Kinkaid, and finally
challenged him, but Judge Wood did
not sustain the challenge. The defense
Immediately excused him peremptor-
lily. George B. Rogers came next, but
failed to qualify. and George Perkin
was called. He was born in England
and belonged to the coal miners union
in that country. He is q farmer and
stockraiser now, and his nearest neigh
bor is Ia miles away, so he has not
talked much about the case and has
read little about it. He was accepted
by both sides, and the state used its
seventh peremptory in excusing
Charles Warrington. N. r. Jones was
excused because he had expressed an
unqualified opinion, and q. I. Evans
was called to the jury box. He is
working on farm near Boise and
was formerly in the livery business
here. After careful examination he
was passed by the state and defense.
Judge Woods then adjourned court
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
