Nevada Editor Kills
Noted Sharper
Advises Camp to Run Him Out
and Shoots Him When He
Objects to Article

ToNoPATI, New. Dec 1o--Francis l..
Burton, notorious bank wrecker, bunko
man and wildcat promoter, ran his last
bluff in Nina at noon today and was
called by j. Holman Buck, editor of
the Rawhide Rustler and several other
southern Nevada publications. Burton
had threatened to kill Buck on Sight.
and today the men met in front of
the Palace hotel and Buck was quicker
on the trigger than the man who had
threatened to take his life.
Buck put load.of .buckshot through
his head killing him instantly and mar
rowly escaping killing VIII Edwards,
with whom Burton was taking at the
time.
Burton had recently been run out
of theenew and hustling camp of Raw
hide, and Buck paid his respects to
him in the Rustler; he also stated in
the paper that he should be run out OF
Nina, where Burton had been making
his headquarters. Burton had made a
threat that he would kill-the editor on
sight. Buck got back to Nina this
morning and was told of Burton's
threats He Immediately armed him
self with a shotgun and went in quest
OF his man.
Turning corner Buck came upon
Burton standing in front of the Palace
hotel talking to will Edwards, and
getting bead on him told him to
throw up his hands, at the same time
shouting to Edwards TO get away.
Edwards moved aside as fast as he
could and Burton drew gun.
Buck fired and almost the entire
charge of buckshot entered Burton's
head, tearing it almost from his shoul-
ders.
was fortunate enough to miss the rain
of bullets.
Buck Immediately gave himself up
and will be held until the inquest,
which will be held tomorrow
Burton came to southern Nevada in
the early part of 1905.
In the early days of Goldfeld he es-
tablished the Goldfeld bank and. trust
company and then proceeded to wreck
it. which he most successfully, accom-
plished. 1t was simply a case OF
smooth thievery.
Burton located a number OF claims in
Ida and opened up a townsite, which
he proceeded to exploit through the
papers. paying the same with the
money of the depositors in the bank.
He and the rest OF his crowd disap-
peared. leaving shortage of $4,000
and only $21.05 In the bank.
Burton was captured in San Fran
cisco and taken back to Goldfeld. but
there was no law at that time in this
state for the crime.
Burton had previous penitentiary
record, and while in prison he sue
ceeded in getting $4,000 out of the
warden to invest in a mythical mine in
Colorado. He had some reputation as
a gun fighter.

Brown has been given the most COM

was obdurate Brown was left alone.
and it was in another and smaller cell

ordinance. which. while forbidding
plays, operas. farces, ballets. minstrel
shows, dancing or other stage per-
formances, would permit vocal or in
strumenta1 concerts. lectures, recita-
tions and singing. Although the or
dinance was less liberal than had been
expected, it provoked sharp debate.

submitted the ordinance to the cor

and not in conflict with the penal code.

nance was in the interest of vaude-
vile trust. and respect should be shown

ernor of New York to call a special
commission for the purpose of inquir-
ing what would be the most suitable

CATHOLICS PLAN GREAT
CATHEDRAL At CAPITAL

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10.-Roman Catho-
lies OF the. United States are planning
to erect in Washington the largest and
most magnificent cathedral in the
world. Prominent priests and laymen
are at work on the project, which will
distribute the cost of this great struc-
ture among 100000 Catholic laymen
in the country. This may require two
years.
Baltimore is the site of the church
see, but, II the words of Cardinal Glib
bons have been correctly interpreted,
some other city will be selected for
the great cathedral. There is uniform
belief. among the clergy and laity that
this other city will be Washington and
that New York or Chicago is out OF
the question.
