Kept Facts from Son.-Tom Clune
wa sentenced today by Judge House
to nay a fine of $50, having been found
guilty of robbery by jury. The ci.-
cumstances connected with the case
are unusual, and perhaps explain the
light sentence imposed by the Judge
for so serious an Offense. Clune was
cha rged with rObbing an old man
named Andy German, in Uncle John )
Place" on East Second street. The
amount was 500. Clune maintained
his innocence, but the evidence was
against him. When asked to explain
how he got the money which was
found on his person, and which was
be ieved to be the missing sum, h.
sail, 81 got it from my son in Kausa;
City" The judge told him that if h.
would have his son notified, and sc;
his sons statement to corrOborate his
owl. he could probably prove his in
noe ance. Here seemed a clear chance
for the prisoner to make good. NO

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 11.-Will this
new treasure field of the United
States have its bull pen" as did
Idaho and Cripple Creek?
That is a question that the fl-
ture will determine. But in this
wild, half tanned, desolate desert,
where men live lives nearly as
stern and wild and forbidding as
their surroundings, be will have to
be a brave man who establishes a
"bull pen" within the range of the
ever-present sawed-Off shotgun and

The miners gun is in his belt or
sticks out Of his hip pocket. Ever
since the strike that started a few
weeks ago, there have been guards
on duty around the mouths of mine
shafts, and they have been loaded
for bar" with rifle and pistol.
This is the first time federal
troops have been asked by any
state since the assassinated Gov.

years ago.

ance o. scrip by the mining COM
panies in the payment of wages to
the miners, nearly a month ago,
during the money shortage.
Back of this makeshift casus
belli, however, is the story of long
suppressed resentments on the
part of the men.
Chief among these is the miners
objection to the recently instituted
change house" system, imposed
by the operators allied with the
big consolidation, as a protection,
they say, against that class of
miner whom they term high,
graders"
These operators claim that prior
to the introduction Of the change
house plan an average of $4,000
a day was stolen from their
mines.
While the miners do not deny
that there has been thieving, they
dispute the heavy claim of the op-
orators and insist that the change
house plan serves to put honest
as well as dishonest miners under
suspicion.

against it.
On motion of Councilman Brown
a committee of four, two republi-
cans and two democrats, with Pres.
Pratt, ex-offi clio member, was ap-
pointed for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what would be desirable
boundaries for proposed new wards
and how many new wards were re-
quired. The committee is COM
posed of Councilmen Estep and
Dalke. republicans, and Brown and
Baldwin, democrats.
Although Councilman Funk
when he put his motion seemed Sc
sire that the republicans and
democrats should be given an equal
show on the committee, it was a
foregone conclusion that every
thing is cut and dried for the new
boundaries to be just as the demo
Gratis desire them. Democrats are
in the majority in the council and
this majority will appoint whatso-
ever men it wants as counclmen
of the new wards. Councilman
Estep last night advised that no
new cOuncilmen be appointed, but
they be chosen at the next city
election. Councilman Pratt inform
ed him that under the provisions of
the city charter the present cOun-
Gil has power to appoint new coun-
cilmen who shall hold office until
the next election.
