It Was That of Joe Hackett
Who for Many Years Lived
In GIenwood Springs
WATER WAS SHALLOW

Joseph Hackett, a section man
well known in Glenwood, was
found dead in the water near the
edge Of the Grand river at the
west end of the Rio Grande bridge
this morning.
He lay face downwards in about
a foot and a half of water. There
were no indications that the man
had met with foul play, and all
the evidence goes to show that
while on his way to his home at
the section house, he accidentally
walked over the concrete wall at
the river bank. He fell distance
of about II feet, and probably
was rendered partially uncon-
scious by the impact, so that he
was unable to help himself in any
way, His hat was picked up at
the top of the concrete wall. 1t
was suggested that Hackett might
have been knocked off the bridge
by a train, but this theory is not
regarded as probable on account
of the position in which the body
lay.
Hackett had celebrated Christ
mas with a number of friends and
it is reported that he was in a
somewhat daZed condition when
he started homewards across the
railway bridge.
Coroner Clark found in one of
the dead mans pockets an acci-
dent policy made out in favor of
Mrs. Fannie Blake of Stockton,
Mo-, a sister Of the deceased. This
policy was for $500. Hackett was
about So years of age and unmar-
ried. Undertaken Farnum took
charge of the remains.

President Mcconnell, Of the Sme|ter
City Bank, Refuses to Tell What
Became Of Ten Thousand Dollars
ALLEGED JUGGLING OF FUNDS

Durango, Dec. 26.-Charles E.
Mcconnell, president of the Smell
ter City bank, which failed last
week, was arrested last night and
is confined at the local jail in this
city.
Information upon which he was
arrested was sworn to by Harry
jackson, hardware merchant of
Durango, who lost $3,400 as a re-
suit of the failure, or rather, who
had $3,4OO in the bank when it
failed.
1t was rather blue Christmas
for Durango because of the large
sums of money which were lost in
the failure of the two banks. The
committee discovered that on the
day the Colorado State bank
failed, which was the Friday pre-
ceding the Wednesday on which
his bank failed, Mr.. Mcconnell
drew $4,000 from the First Ma
tional bank of Durango, putting
up the security of his bank for the
same, but his books did not sllo :
that he placed the $4,000 in his
bank. AS soon as the committee
found this out, F. r. Graham, who

great Christmas feast, the soul of
Olive Crook took its flight to the
spirit land and "A truly good wom-
an was no more. Mrs. Crook had
been i'll but a little over IA week
and not until Monday morning
was her condition regarded as Sc
rious. All through Monday night
the family felt that the end was
very near, but by Tuesday morn
ing she had rallied slightly and
some hopes were entertained for
her recovery. During the after
noon, however, the heart grew rap
idly weaker and the end came at
Z O'Clock.
Mrs. Crook was one of Glen
woods noblest women, good
wife, good mother, a good neigh
Dor, and her death is a distinct
loss not only to the sorrowing
family and immediate neighbors
and friends, but the whole com
munity mourns the loss of one
who possessed a sweet and sunny
disposition which made friends
for her wherever she went.
Besides the husband, DR.. w.
w. Crook, deceased leaves three
children who will sadly miss a

The mother, Mrs. Fannie Medaris,
and sister, Miss Grace Drumhill.

highest office.
1t is not too much to say that
DR.. Crook and his daughters have
the heartfelt sympathy of the ell

of aff'liction.

They sent for him and asked
him what he did with the $4,000

Mine Owners Of GoIdfie|d
File Suit Asking for Disso-
luton Of ". F. N.
"A CRIMINAL SOCIETY,"

Goldfeld, New, Dec. 26.-In
the circuit court in the district OF
Nevada today the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company filed
suit against the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, Charles A. McKin-
non, president of the local union,
and 10 other officers of the union.
The complaint sets forth the al
legged vast extent and richness of
the mining interests in volved and
the large number of persons hold
ing shares in the mines in various
states and territories; alleges that
the Goldtield miners union and
the Western Federation of Miners
are voluntarily unincOrpOrated as
sociations and that it is claimed
to be part of another larger or
ganiZation known as the Industri-
al Workers of the World, also un-
incorporated, which has the same
principles and seeks to accom-
plish it's results by the same al
legged unlawful methods, and has
in it's ranks as members of these
associations, not only the miners
of the Goldfield district. but other
members such as walters, cooks.
BARRIERS and barkeepers.
Intimidation Charged.
1t is further alleged that the
Western Federation of Miners is
organized for the destruction of
property and creating endless
strife, disorder, bloodshed and ri
oting."
The Goldfield union is charged
in the bill with intimidation"
destruction of property, murder
that it has instituted reign of
of innocent citizens, lawlessness
and anarchy to such an extent
and with being guilty of wantoh
terror in the Goldfield district. -
1t is further alleged that the
Goldfield union is criminal So
ciety."
The court is asked to cite the
defendants before it answers the
allegations of the complaint and
to issue writ of injunction re-
straining the complainants from
obstrlcting the business of the
Consolidated Mines company by
threat, intimidation or picketing.
An injunction against boycott
is asked for.
The court is asked to enjoin the
GOldfield union from holding any
more meetings.
Watchers or examiners are ask
ed for with full authority to enter
on the property of complainant,
to carry out the orders of the
orders of the court and to arrest
any person entering them.
Finally it is petitioned that the
injunction be made permanent
and that the Goldfeld miners
union be abated and forever dis
solved as nuisance and perpetu-
ally enjoined from any further
meetings or action of whatever
kind or nature. The complaint is
signed by George Wingfield, vice
president of the Consolidated
Mines company.
One effect of the filing of this
may be to induce President Roo
sevelt to order a portion of the
troops now in Goldfield to re-
main on the ground to assist in
the enforcement of the mandates
of the federal court if necessary.

Quite Package for Carr.
Erie, Pa, Dec. While dis
tributing Christmas bundles in
the South Erie postoffice, an en-
ploye became suspicious of a pack
age. the end of which had broken
open, and upon making an inves-
tigation the package was found
to contain an internal machine
so constructed that the opening
Of the box would cause an explo-
sion that would have undoubtedly
killed all persons near it and set
fire to everything in the vicinity.
The package was addressed to
Archie Carr, 220S Cherry street,
and had been mailed in this city.
The box was turned over to Post
master Sobel. who called in Chief
of Police Wagner. The chief cut
out the side Of the box and ex-
posed a bottle and contrivances
so arranged that the opening of
the lid would pull the cork and ig-
mite several matches. The follow
ing inscription was on the inside
wrapper:
"You may perhaps find the COW
er will catch little when YOU
open the box, but pay no atten-
ton to it. Merry Xmas"
DIR. w. j. Wright, health officer
and chemist. after an examination
of the bottle said it contained a
high explosive, but would give no
other details until after further
examination. A postoffice inspec-
tor is expected here shortly.

IN ATTITUDE OF DEFENSE
Armed Hostile Forces Occupy Streets

Teheran, Dec 2 Matters looked
more hopeful here for brief period
and the armed factions which have
occupied the streets of the Persian
capital since Sunday began to dis.
perse. But suddenly a few random
shots were fired in the public square
and this caused speedy reassembling
of the opposing forces.
As a result of the deliberations be.

party it was agreed that the negotia-

success only if both sides struck their
tents and dispersed. Accordingly the

TO POPULARIZE SERVICE.
Plainly CARRIED Russian Regiments
Made More Brilliant.


st. Petersburg, Dec. q The name
day of Emperor Nicholas, which is be-
ing celebrated with the usual cere-
monies at Tsarskoe-S has been sig
nalized by an order restoring to the
Russian army the picturesque uniform
worn in the reign Of Alexander IL.
This order will transform thirty five
out of the flfty-five soberly clad dra-
goon regiments into hussars and
uhlans, whose brilliant and showy
garb Is expected to popularize the
service in the eyes of recruits and the
population generally. This change is
made, according to the phraseology Of
the order, because, during a long pc
riod of peace. the uniform must be
brilliant and beautiful.
The list of name day honors fills
sixty-five columns In the Official Ca
zette, but even so it is barely half as
long this year as it was in 1906. Gen
