Bingham Junction, Utah.-Edward
McDermlt, a telephone lineman, was
instantly killed Sunday night by 1900
volts of electricity passing through his
body while he was trying to save an
electric piano from burning up. The
accident was caused by one of the
main feed wires of the Progress Power
company of Murray. which supplies
the town with electricity, coming in
contact with guy chain supporting
an electric sign in front of the Leader
store. In so doing, the full current
passed through the chain and heavily
charged all the electric light and tele.
phone wires on that transformer in the
main business part of the town. A half
dozen other people were injured
when they went to turn on their lights,
and that none of the others were killed
Is regarded as miraculous.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE GUOD

financial and industrial conditions:
Our farms produce more than Sc,
j00,000,000 per annum and the pros.
Dect is good for an average crop. Our
mines yield more than 81 100000, 900
and our forests more than s1,000,00O,-

wealth has been exhausted. The out

products is $4,000, 100000 and no fires

earn more than $4,000 100000 and they
are all in successful operation. The
payrolls of our factories and railways
aggregate approximately S3,500 100000.
900 and the scale of wages has not
been reduced. In other words the real
sources of the peoples wealth have not
yet been affected and the ability of in
1ustrial concerns to pay dividends is
not measured by the market price of
heir stocks. Logical reasons for ser.

Cobre Nevada.-Two masked high
Taymen entered Hillman's saloon at
Cobre. killed the night bartender j.
b. Gillian, and robbed the cash reg
lister and roulette wheel of about
81 200. The men were very cool ana
evidently old hands at the business.
One of the hold-ups entered the sa'
loon by the front door. The man COM
Ing from the rear door entered a few
steps ahead of his partner and or
dered all to hold up their hands. Gill
liam did not see the other man COM
ing in and made an attempt to get his
revolver from behind the bar. The
other hold-up was too quick for him,
however. He fired while still outside
the door, the bullet striking Gillian
little behind and above the left ear
The hold.up fired another shot, when
some one yelled, Don't shoot him
any more, he is dead now" Get be-
hind there and pull him out; let's see
If he is dead" responded the high
wayman.
Gillian was carried out ana lald in
the rear of the saloon, and died about
half hour later.
The thugs then proceeded to ram
sack the register, securing about SIS,
after which they took about $1,l00
from the roulette wheel. The men
left the place and made for the hills
east of town.
At daybreak every man who could
get away started out to hunt the mur-
derers. About o'clock in the after
noon word was received that an old
Indian from this place had found
where they camped and was hot on
their trail and expected to capture
the men at any time. He has instruc-
tons from the sheriff to shoot on
sight
Before coming to Cobre Gillian
was chief turnkey at the Washington
state prison, and it is believed that
the shooting was done by an ex-con
vict of that place, rs Gillian had re-
celved several threatening letters
since coming here from men who had
a grudge against him.
One of the hold-ups was heard to
say before the shooting, II will kill
that guy behind the bar"

Government Official Says Prohibi-

Washington high official of the
Immigration bureau is authority fol
the statement that the prohibition

grants to that section of the country.
1T is none of my business" he said,

far as possible with the immigration
bureaus of the states of South Caro-

matters of personal liberty. They do
not hold the view that so light a
drink as beer, when taken in modeT-
ate amounts and under circumstances
to which they are accustomed, is
either a sin or crime.
people of the countries mentioned
look down upon whisky drinking In
this country as moral weakness, TO
which Americans should not be ad.
dicted. and probably would not care
what happened to the ardent spirits,
but they object to being deprived OF
beer. Personally, think great mis-
take Is being made in the south. II

acted to make the negro sober cit

few years The negro will now be-
come an imbiber of the cheapest and
most fiery grades of mean whisky,

prohibition runs out the mild drinks
like beer and brings in the worst OF
the ardent class
"The negro naturally goes with blind
tigers, and Ii Will not be long before
he will take the lead in defiance OF
law and hypocrisy. He will copy
after the white man, 1t Is true. When
he sees prohibition laws defied. he
will pay less attention to other laws.

tions of the south where prohibition

negro has turned to cocaine and
drugs, and has become so worthless
that he is a menace"
