BILL" IS HAPPY:
MASTER RETURNS
Just a Yellow Dog But a
Great Friend of
Judge Fox.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
CANINE PICKED HIS HONOR AS
HIS AFFINITY, DESPITE THE OB-
JECTICNS OF THE "COURT"-
THEY ARE NOW CHUMS.

BILL just an ordinary yellow dog,
innocent of a pedigree, is the happiest
canine in the city. His souls affinity.
Judge Henry G. Fox, who was out Of
the city two days last week, has re-
turned home From a legal stand
point Bill is not the property of Judge
Fox. but Bill refuses to abide by fool
ish human laws-he regards Judge Fox
as his lord and master.
When Bill met Judge Fox it was a
case of love at first sight, on Bills
part. He showered his attentions on
the court, but the court ignored them.
Bill was not to be denied, however, so
at length Judge Fox capitulated and he
no longer attempts walking down side
streets and alleys in fruitless efforts
to avoid the dog. Today his honor
has nearly as great an affection for
Bill as Bill has for him, and the dog Is
allowed to bask in the sunshine of his
presence without remonstrance on the
part of the judge.
When Judge Fox went to Portland
last Monday he neglected to inform
Bill of his intention to absent himself
from the city. AS result Bill wait
ed Tuesday morning on a street cor
ner near the Judges home from an
early hour until nearly noon, but the
dog was not rewarded by sight of his
divinity. He then wandered to the
court house and searched every nook
and corner. crying as though his heart
would break for his missing friend.
Wednesday Bill continued his fruitless
search. He was almost in despair.
but Thursday morning while on duty
at the corner near the Judges home he
spied his honor, No poor scribe can
picture the enthusiastic delight with
which Bill greeted his friend. Since
that day Bill has refused to let Judge
Fox get six feet away from him. #
the judge makes any more trips Bill
has determined that he will not be left
behind.

All Was in a Buzz of Excite
ment in the Mining Town
Saturday Night Over the
Expected Appearance.
IN POSSESSION.
ON ARRIVAL, UNDER CHARGE OF
COL. REYNOLDS. TROOPS TOOK
IMMEDIATE CHARGE OF GOLD
MINES-WILL REMAIN THERE.

Goldfield. New, Dec. 7-Tonight all
is in buzz of excitement over the re-
port that on Sunday, four hundred non
unionist strike breakers will arrive in
this city TO take the place of the strik-
ing miners. Knots of sturdy men
stood about discussing the outlook
All were armed to the teeth and loud
threats were heard on every hand
against the incoming miners. Blood
shed will certainly result If they make
their appearance. Leaders of the
strike attempted to impress upon the
men to keep clear heads and shun liq-
uor, as brains would have to be used
on the morrow.
Col Reynolds and part of the United
States troops who were assigned To
keep order during the miners strike.
Immediately took possession of the
mine properties.
The unionists were in session in the
headquarters at the time. and a discus
sion of the situation is still in prog
ress there. The section of the train
carrying three hundred soldiers did
not reach here till late this afternoon.
Numerous highway robberies and as
saults have been committed in the last
few days. but no outbreak can be
traced to the miners, who deny respon-
sibility for them.
Threats Against Soldiers.
Threats have been made-though tho
miners officials, speaking for the
membership, repudiate responsibility
for them-that the regulars will not
long be left without warfare to keep
them busy.
1t has been learned that an attempt
was made Thursday night to dynamite
the line which furnishes power and
light to Goldfield. 1t failed only be-
cause the explosive was frozen and fail
ed to go off. The miners are holding
series of secret meetings and are al
ready circulating a round robin among
the citizens, informing President
Roosevelt that troops are not needed.
| The report that troops would be or
dered to the camp was at first regarded
I by the miners as bluff intended to
| intimidate them. President McKin-
non of the local miners union. a BROTH
er-in-law of William ID. Haywood, is In
charge of the miners campaign. Vim
cent st. John has been in the hospital
for several weeks as a result of a gun
shot wound received in a duel between
| himself and another labor leader.
Buildings Reported Dynamited.
Salt Lake, Utah. Dec. IA dispatch
from Parks. New, says the wires from
Goldfield are down. Before commu-
nication was closed a flash was receiv-
ed by the Southern Pacific operator
that several buildings had been dyna-
mited by striking miners and their
sympatnizers. The Southern Pacific
lost track of its trains, owing to the
wire trouble.

Wang with the difference that IN
stead of having an elephant on his
hands he is anxious to acquire infor-
nation about three that are some
where in this country under bonds of
$1,000. If anybody can identify Rog-
er, Tom and Alice, as the pachy-
dermS have been christened, he will
confer 4 favor on the secretary of the
treasury by stepping TO the front.
Roger, Tom and Alice were introduced
TO the customs officials a year ago,
but as those officers We're not expert
judges of pachydermal beauty, they
have forgotten the features of the
three big beasts. The trio has trav-
eled much in its day. and the treasury
department says that the beasts are
now in this country under 4 bond OF
the owners, amounting to $1,000. to
pay the duty on them. The owners,
seek to avoid the payment of duty on
the ground that duty was paid on the
first visit of the elephants to this
country. The owners, however, can
not identify the animals TO the salts
faction of the customs officials and
the latter are almost as much at a
loss to accomplish the same result
Hence Secretary Cortelyou will call
down blessings on the head of the
man who can help him out.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WANTS
BUREAU OF MINES WHICH CAN
TAKE STEPS TO ALLEVIATE

Monongah, w. Va, Dec. with
unabated energy, five rescuing parties
working from every possible point to
enter and explore mines Nos. 6 and
s, of the Fairmont Coal Company, Il
subsidiary of the Consolidation Coal
company, of Baltimore, where terri
fic explosion of black damp occurred
Friday, were tonight putting forth ev-
cry effort to reach the 315 men who
they had every reason to believe were
still in the mine, dead or alive, al
though there was scarcely hope en-
tertained that single one of the 400
or more men who went into the mine
yesterday morning had survived the
terrific explosion and the poisonous
i gases with which the mines filled
Immediately after the death-dealing
crash.
GO hundred and twenty-five bodies
had len brought to the surface to-
night and the dozen undertakers from
this and surrounding towns, who have
been on duty since the catastrophe
had the bodies washed and made as
presentable as possible in an imprO-
vised morgue, into which one of the
nine buildings had been converted.
A Heartrending March.
All day Saturday there was Il heart
rending march up and down the aisles
along which these bodies had been
laid, by sobbing wives. mothers and
sweethearts, orphaned children and
strong men. each seeking a near rela-
tive or a friend.
There are between 5000 and 5000
inhabitants in the mining town of
Monongah and it is doubtful if in this
entire population there are score of
persons who have not either a near
relative or a close friend numbered
among the victims of the disaster.
Hundreds of men are standing
about the entrance to the two mines.
They said nothing, but when approach
ed and asked a question they would
give way to their emotions and often
give way to tears.
Women on the Hills.
Saturday the women were the chief
actors in most pathetic and heartrend-
ing scenes. They crowded the side of
the hills overlooking the ill fated
mines and cried aloud. AS the day
advanced they became almost crazed
through grief and suspense. One wo-
man pulled out her hair. handfuls at a
time, another tore all the skin from
both of her cheeks with her finger
nails. Some lay down on the frozen
ground and cried themselves to sleep.
In this condition many were carried

pected trouble and it was just bit of
carelessness that allowed them to
come to blows. They had been quar-
relling under their breath since the
arrival of the Teddy" Cat.
This new arrival dropped into Rich
mond a few days ago. He put on airs
without consulting the owner of the
store. The Teddy Bear union took up
the matter and the fight started.
The ''Teddy' Cat is an assuming an
imal. He comes attired in bright col
ored leather boots. cooked hat. eye
glasses and fancy spike-tailed frOcll
coat. He has a real-fOr-sure tail and
ears and legs, making Beau Brum-
mel appearance that certainly would
make a hit with the Miss Teddy Bears
that is if there were any Miss Ted,
