TRAGEDY AT HAZEN

With her face cut and bleeding
and her clothing torn, Vernon
Flanagan, a woman of the half
world, appeared at the door of
Frank Hayes room in the Palace
Hotel at Hazen last Wednesday
morning and called him. Not
knowing the purpose OF his para
mour's visit, Hayes opened the
door and was shot three times
through the body by the enraged
woman. After firing the fatal
shots and watching her lover fall
lifeless at her feet, Vernon Flani-
gan turned the barrel of the re-
volver toward her own heart and
was about to pull the trigger when
Harry Dawson, former Reno boy,
wrested the weapon from her hand.
Vernon Flanagan is now held in
the county Jail at Fallon awaiting
a hearing defore the grand jury on
charge of manslaughter, being
unable to furnish bail to the a
mount of $1,000.
The body OF Hayes lies buried in
the small cemetery near Hazen.
He was laid to rest in pine coffin
and dressed just as he was when
shot to death by the woman he had
pretended to love. His boots were
not even removed.
Frank Hayes and Vernon Flani-
gan had a quarrel in restaurant
in Hazen late Tuesday night and
during the argument Hayes struck
the woman several times in the
face with brass knuckels, tearing
her face in terrible manner and
rendering her unconscious.

ANOTHER
INVESTIGATION
Story of Aged Woman's
Death Msy Cause Inquiry
at Athens Hospital.

Columbus, Nov. 20.--Another in
vestigation OF the Athens State hos
'pital by the board of state charities
may result from a meeting of the
trustees of the hospital, held at Ath-
ems yesterday to consider charges
that an aged woman who died soon
after entering the hospital was
abused and fatally injured when at
tendants tied her in bathroom
with another inmate, who released
her hands and turned on the hot wat
er SO that It scalded the helpless
woman.
Yesterday afternoon the trustees OF
the hospital telephoned to Governor
Harris that they had been unable to
secure the attendance OF witnesses
desired, and said they probably
would report to him with a request
that the board of charities conduct
the investigation, that the attend
ance OF witnesses might be compelled
AT the request of the trustees to
have somebody from the attorney
generals department present to exam
Inc the witnesses, Assistant Attorney
General w. II. Miller went to Ath-

BRYAN TALKS
ABOUT PANIC
Roosevelt Not to Blame
Depcsitors Have no Cause
for Timidity

Columbus, Nov. 2O.-Colonel Will
liam Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska,
spent 40 minutes in Columbus early
this morning.
He arrived at ~ o'clock from Chilli
,cothe in company with Rev. jacob
Pister and left at 1910 for Pittsburg,
intending to speak tonight in Con-
nelsville and to go to Washington, d.
c., tomorrow. where he will attend a
wedding and banquet.
"Will you call at the White House?"
he was asked. well, I don't know
about that" he responded.
While at the Union station, where
he enjoyed lunch which was topped
of with piece of pie as sleep
producer, Colonel Bryan reiterated his
statement of Monday at Lafayette,
Ind, to the effect that in his judg-
ment President Roosevelt was not
Irresponsible for present financial con-
ditions.
II don't think Roosevelt Is to
blame" he said at the station. Gle
simply pointed out things that need
ed correction.
Colonel Bryan went on to say:
"The panic started among specu.

because Western banks could not get
money which they had deposited in

is no justification for timidity of

Colonel Bryan refused to discuss
his views as to the best means OF
achieving currency reform, owing to
the brief time at his disposal. He
said he hadn't familiarized himself
with the decision of Roosevelt and
Cortelyou to come to the rescue OF
financial conditions by hurrying the

Theodore Roosevelt as transmitted by

That announcement rings true as a
declaration that the president will
not countenance the third-term
movement. There has been general
anticipation, both by the opponents
and friends of the Roosevelt-Taft
combination, that the president soon
would state anew his position in the
face OF efforts being made to force
another nomination upon him. The

here as fully significant as direct

Presidents who have sought 10 re-

federal offices to lead the fight for

the second nomination of Mckinley,
when by his express wish, office
holders were kept in the background.
But they were in the forefront for
President Arthur in 1884, for Presi-

Harrison in 1892 and for President
Roosevelt in 1904.

who might take the nomination
away from Mr.. Taft or some one
else representing the Adminjstra
ton policies. And yet the Governor
has shown by his acts that he
IS Just as sincere a reformer as
the President. Why should Mr..
Roosevelt dislike him as suc-
cessor at the White House prov.
idence Journal.
IT 1t comes to matter of
personal likes and dislkes, 1t is
probable that the elevation of the
Governor to be Chief Executive of
the country. would be no greater
affliction to Mr.. Roosevelt than the
retention of Mr.. Roosevelt would
be to the Governor. The President
and Governor are from the same
state. and they are rugged re-
formers. They present pretty
play in politics and there is no
reason why they should not have
the same onportunitv for conten-
tion as other politicians have.
for while they both have eminence
among their friends as statesmen
thnv are still politicians and bv
all the rules and practice must
