SHOOTING ARRAY
AT SILVER PEAK.

But for the timely interference Of
"Bluch' Thompson, there might have
been two bodies at Silver Peak Sat
urday morning for burial. Frank Nc
dewitt, who has been employed at the
Monitor mine for some weeks, came
into town on Thursday and proceeded
to fill up on corn juice, and having inn
bibed the right quantity, started to
look for trouble at once. He had a
+ difficulty with Jack Coughman at the
Al1ambra some time ago, and Matched
a most ~treacherous scheme to even MP
the old score. Going into the saloon
500 after Coughlin went on shift,
McDevitt approached him and sug-
gosted that they call off the feeling
between them, which Coughlin assent
cd to. McDevitt then said he would
buy a drink, and reached in his peck
ct, supposedly for the money; insteau
he drew a gun and pointed it at
Coughlin, who jumped to the end of
the bar and grabbed a sawed-off shot
gun, kept convenient for such emerg
enc.es. Thompson, who knew Of the
former difficulty between the two
men, was watching McDevitt's move
ments, and when the gun was flashed
he jumped and knocked the muzzlc
downward, and turnink quickly
threw the muzzle of the gun upward,
the charge Of heavy buckshot going
into the casing Of the door, the bullet
from the six shooter going into the
floor. Coughlin then struck Me
Dewitt over the head with some sort
Of a weapon, but no serious damage
was done to him, and within a few
minutes he was in charge Of Consta-

BEEN MURDERED

RENO, New, Feb. with throat
slashed and head battered and cut,
the body of John Burdette, an aged
gambler of this city and formerly a
stock man og California, was this
morning found floating in an asylum
ditch near the cattle corrals in the
eastern part of the city. The man was
well dressed and in one of his peck
cts was found a purse containing SO
in money, a small silver match safe,
etc, and all of the pockets of the
clothing were empty, and there was
nothing upon the body by which he
could be identified. The remains

number of old-time residents, who
had known him for years.

Of the Union Pacific. Mohler has just
returned from the Chicago conference

Regarding the demand of the men
for higher wages / can only say the
railroads will agree to submit the pro-
posed increase in pay and also other
questions to a board Of arbitration.
Whether the men will agree to this
proposition is unknown. I don't know
what the probabilities Of a strike are,
but the various railroads are willing to
come to an equitable understanding
with the men. If a strike is decided
upon that is the mems business"

Columbus, Ind, March >. - A few
days ago a story was published here
that Frank ?. Smith, of this city. an
official of the indianapolis, Columbus
and Southern Traction company, had
been accosted by a travelling man who
was taking penny collections to raise
a fund TO purchase medal for Harry
X. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White
The story went the rounds of the pa
ners, and was to the effect that the
travelling man was only one of sever
al in Indiana who were asking people
for pennies to help swell the fund.
When the story got as far as New
York city it became twisted. The New
York end of the line said that Smith
was taking the collection, and suggest
ed that the pennies be sent to him. He
has been receiving pennies from east
ern people since that time. and 1t is
needless to say that he does not know
what to do with them. He IS not rails
ing any T'haw medal fund and he does
not wish the money. 1t takes 2 cents
to send every one of these pennies
back, so he is losing money on the

oial point in its development. The peo-
pie over there believe that Hammond
should take up its fight for the open

missioners from the southern part Of
the county to give them the bridge they
need so badly upon the penalty of be-
ing denied an appropriation for the
extention to the court house if they
refuse.
If the people take advantage of their
opportunities there will be millions of
dollars worth of taxable property added

one being 18th street, which will be
built over the northern end of Wolf
lake just south of the Western Glu-
cose company's plant and win open up
a new thoroughfare through the city
of Hammond. In fact. if 119th street is
opened, it will be one of the longest
and most important streets in northern
Lake county.
If this street is put through it will
be necessary to grade the road through

gable channel Both the citizens CT

The ground for regarding the act as
unconstitutional with regard to private
corporations is that it discriminates as
between employers engaged in exactly
the same business. With regard TO
railroads the act is upheld because of
the peculiar character of their bust,
ness, and the extraordinary dangers in
