BEAR KILLED

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1S.-The
president has killed a bear The
news of the killing of big black
bear by the president in a cane break
near Bear Lake, Louisiana, reached
here this morning in a telegram to
John Parker, sent by Geo. Shields,
a member of the party.
Two days ago several trails were
struck, but only once did the dogs
come upon the bear Then it be-
came necessary for the negro hunter
in the, party to kill the bear imme-
diately in order TO save the dogs.
The president started out yesterday
with fresh dogs, and last night bag

HENEY
CHARGED
PERJURY
SECURES REMOVAL OF UNFIT
PERSON FROM FORD
PANEL.
(Associated Press. J.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S.-In-
side information of crap games,
"black jack chuck-a-luck and bridge
whist, coupled with charges of i'm
morality and perjury flung into the
teeth of qualified juror by Prosecu-
tor Francis j. Heney, enlivened the
closing hours of today's session of
the bribery trial and incidentally
provoked from Attorney A. A. Moore
of the defense a speech remarkable
for it's off-hand fuency and satirical
force.
The prosecution desired to be rid,
without exercising one of it's five per-
emptorv challenges, of Harry H.
Berg, the first of the twelve jurors
accepted, subject to arbitrary dis
missal, and with this object in view
re-opened his examination. He is a
Fillmore street cigar dealer, and yes
terday he testified that gambling was
not carried on in room in the rear
of his stand. This statement did not
tally with what Detective William J..
Burns knew of the place and this
afternoon Heney forced from Berg
admissions that until short time be-
fore the recent appointment of Chief
of Police Biggy, many gambling
games were regularly conducted
there; also that he himself had
''gambled at bridge whist" in a room
no longer ago than last night. After
a long and bitter fight put up by
Ford's lawyers, Heney succeeded in
having Berg removed from the panel,
as an unfit and immoral person, a
perjurer and one obviously opposed
to the enforcement of the law Twen-
ty-two veniremen were examined to-
day. Eight passed qualification tests
and completed the probationary
panel.
Adjournment was taken until Mon
day morning, when peremptory chal-
lenges will be exercised.

STEAL Offerings
TO HEATHEN GOD

RENO, Oct. 1S.-The Chinese
community of Reno is in an uproar
of excitement over what they claim
was scandalous disregard for their
religious rites over their dead, shown
by the students of the University of
Nevada in taking their decorations
and meat offerings to the heathen
god from the grave of one of their
countrymen. Last Sunday Chung
Woo, wealthy Chinese merchant Of
Reno, was buried with all the pomp
due one of his position, in the ceme-
terry near University Hill, and the
mourners walled over the departed
until nearly midnight
crowd of boys from the univer-
sity heard the unusual noise, and,
waiting until the mourners had gone.
took the artistic decorations from the
grave. They discIaim having taken
the huge roast pig, saying that In
dians living at rancheria near the
cemetery were guilty of that deed
The prominent Chinese here have
called meeting and will ask the
aid of the authorities in having the
students punished if they can be ap-
pretended.

HIGH ASSAYS
AT MANHATTAN
GRAB SAMPLE SHOWS VALUES
TO THE TUNE OF
$1381.95.
Especial to the Bonanza. }

Especial to the Bonanza
MANHATTAN, Oct. 1S.-A grab
sample taken from twenty-five sacks
of ore taken from lease No. 3 on the
Union No. 9, assayed $13S1.95. This
is the result of the work of Super
intendent O'Brien of the Dexter Com
pany, of which Union No. 9 is a sub
sidiary company.
This rich ore was taken from an
eight-inch seam of three-foot ledge
uncovered by the leasers, Davis,
Stanley, Putnam and Shea, who sue
ceeded to Douglass and Kendall. 1t
is said that outside the rich streak,
the rest of the vein will run $35 10
the ton. Douglass and Kendall, who
formerly operated the lease, shipped
this year two carloads of ore, which
went 1929 ton; and they have be-
sides on the dump between 500 and
900 tons which will go from $35 to
$50 ton.
The new find was made by Jim
Shea, the man who made the original
discovery on Union No. two years
ago, which created such furore and
brought to the surface on the leases
from 100000 to 1925, 900, includ-
ing milling and shipping ore. Shea
and his partners have leases 1, 2, 8,
and on Union No. 8.
The Curtis Dry Washer Company
has been operating a placer lease on
Union No. 8 for some time, and are
taking out from $50 to $50 a day
with but one machine There is a
great deal of pay dirt on this claim,
and the Curtis company does not
expect to complete their work until
sometime next year.
Edward Hirschler, principal owner
and manager of the Granny mine, left
here today for San Francisco, after
stay of several days. He has placed
in charge of the property, Scott Tur-
ner, mining engineer of San Fran
cisco, who is said to be man of
technical and practical knowledge in
mining and of large experience.
The Granny is accredited to be one
of the best mines in the camp, 1t
has shaft down three hundred feet,
at the bottom of which several string
ers have been cut, which are rich in
free gold and sulphides. A crosscut
is to be run from this level north and
south which will cut several lodges
which, at the surface, show high val
ues AS they are cut, drifting will
be started, and the ore blocked out
as fast as possible. BY the first of
the year, it is expected that stopping
will have been begun. In inclined
shaft No. 2, drifting is still going on
on the vein, and the ore carries very
good values.

GREAT FALL in
PRICES OF STOCKS
(Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-The fall IN
prices in some of the stocks today
equaled that in some of the panic
periods of the past. The market was
on decentralization. The conditions
at no time, however, stepped into an
actual panic, although there was a
ruthless slaughter of values that bore
close resemblance thereto. At no
time, however, was the whole list en-
braced in the slump. There were
points of comparative resistance
throughout, but these grew less as
the day progressed and spread
throughout the market. Another fea-
ture of the market, compared with
the slumping periods of the past, is
the comparatively small volume of
trading, the dealing for the day ris-
ing but little over a million shares,
compared with two million to over
three million shares in similar

Examiner T. E. Collins had arrived

Collins stated he would be unable

On May 31st last. Mrs. Pet Magill

Four days later. in San Diego, CAL.
Magill and his second wife we're ar
rested on the charge of numbering
the first Mrs. Magill. They were
brought back to Clinton and secured
a change of venue to this city. In
the trial the State claimed that Ma
gill and Miss Graham, by their con-
duct. had driven Mrs Magill to sui
eide and were therefore guilty of
murder. The defense introduced let
ters written by Mrs. Magill shortly
before her death, in which she COM
plained of unbearable headaches and
constant nagging of her husbands
relatives. Witnesses also testified
that Mrs. Magill had often talked of
committing suicide. In letter to
her husband, written the day before
her death, Mrs. Magill asked him to
marry Fay Graham in case anything
happened to her. Magill was en-
ployed in a bank at Clinton, ILL.,, the
