MINER SLAIN
MYSTERIOUSLY
Claude Young, Of TOnOpah, Bru.
tally Killed in San Francisco
LOdsing-hOuse
NO CLUE TO MURDERER
Indications Are That lie Was Beaten to
Death With His Own Heavy
Miners R90tS

San Francisco, Feb "a peculiarly
atrocious murder was discovered today
when the dead body Of Claude Young
of Tonopah was found in the lodging
house at No. 49 East street.
He had apparently been beaten to
death with his own heavy miners
boots. Young was about % years old
and carried card showing that he
was member of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners.
He came here from Tonopah few
months ago and had been working as
an electrician
The police have no clew to the mur-
derer.
East street faces the water front
and is lined with cheap lodging houses
and saloons, frequented by sailors from
the ships and the waits and strays
from all over the country who drift
into San Francisco. Little attention is
paid to the comings and goings of the
occupants of the lodging places upon
the street, and for that reason the po-
lice have been able to learn little of
Young's movements last night.
The authorities are making an effort
to learn whether anyone was seen to go
to his room with him, and with whom
he spent the evening before going to
the lodging house.
Attaches of the lodging house profess
entire ignorance of events preceding
the murder This is looked upon as
extraordinary, as Young's body was
terribly mutilated, and his death must
have been attended with the noise of
violence sufficient to attract attention,
even in the East-street district.

a." Ground Hog Day "

"Ground hog day" came on Satur-
day. 1t is an old saying that if the
ground hog and the bear see their
shadows on February it means six
weeks of stormy weather There are
a great many people who have faith in
ground hog day and prepare for
sunshine or storm, according to the in
dications on that day.
There was enough sunshine on Satur-
day for the ground hog and the bear to
see their shadows and hasten back to
their winter quarters. If the tra-
dition of generations is well authentI-
Gated, they will remain there until the
middle of March. The storm on Satur-
day night may be accepted by be-
levers in the ground hog as a weather
prophet as an early fulillment Of eX-
pectations.

DOG SAVES CHILDREN
FROM DAKOTA BLIZZARD

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 3-Twelve chill
dren and Miss Harriet Deitch, their
school teacher, were saved from the
recent blizzard by a sagacious dog.
The children attended school at Buffalo
Gap. About noon on the day of the
blizzard a tremendous dark cloud arose
in the northwest, accompanied by a
high wind. Soon the air was filled with
fine particles of snow, so fine and hard
that each seemed like tiny pieces of
ice. The snow fell so fast that it was
impossible to see ten feet ahead. The
wind blew gale and the falling snow
soon began to pile up in huge drifts.
The little schoolhouse and its oecu-
pants had been so busily engaged in
their duties that the approaching storm
had been unnotced. This is not un-
usual in South Dakota, where storms
arise in a few minutes.
When the teacher did notice the un
usual darkness she became alarmed.

charge know Of her grave Apprehension.

Seizure of COSSaCk Uniform in ST.
Petersburg Raid Causes
New Alarm
BREADS ANOTHER PLOT
Fear That the Buyer Of Military Garb
Planned 10 Reach ane Strike
Down the Emperor
SPECIAL To The NRws

ST. Peterburg, Feb. 3. "A plot
directed against the czar came to Ii ght
today throught orders issued to the
Secret Service to use every effort to
identify the purchaser of uniform of
His Maiesty's own Cossack escort,
which was captured in a recent raid.
The emperor's escort is made up of
picked men, whose loyalty TO Russia's
autocrat IS tested in every possible way
before their admission to that body.
This is made necessary by the numer-
Gus plots against the cars life. But
as the nihlist emissaiies are know to
peryadc every walk of life in Russia,
these severe tests do not abate the
emperor's terror and watchfulness, and
spies are kept constantly busy watch
ing even The closest members of his
household, The czar fears, but expects
death at the hand of an assassin some
day, and all his feeble energies are ex-
erted in frantic effort to put off the
day of the doom which his own tremb-
ling heart has pictured.
The spies employed by the st. Peter
burg police and by members of the inn
peria family are constantly giving in
formation resulting in arrests and raids.
In one of these descents by the police,
the uniform of the emperor's Cossack
qua I'd WIS found.
1t is believed that the uniform was
obtained by a Nihilist with the inten-
tion of assuming it as disguise, so as
to be able to get near to the czar's
person and assassinate him.
The military garb would have lulled
suspicion ard made the murderous
work easy.

Deitch, when there came scratching
at the door. Miss Deitch ran to open
it and in leaped big shepherd dog.
Immediately the dog snuggled up to a
little boy, who at once recognized it.
The other children screamed. thinking
the intruder was a bear.
The dog barked playfully and ran
repeatedly toward the door in the
semi-darkness. The dog wished to
urge the little friend to hurry home.
The teacher set her wits to work.
To get the children home before the
snow was very deep would be bless
ing, and she at once recognized in the
dog the means of guidance. She tore
the cloth curtains at the windows into
strips, and attached stout strip to
each of the twelve children. Then she
tied large strip to herself and all the
smaller strips to her strip. Then call
ing the friendly dog she made him fast
to another strip and grasped it firmly
in her hand.
Wrapping each q il ! well, the little
company, led by the dog, started to-
ward the little settlement of ranchers'
house. Miss Deitch knew the dog be-
longed to nearest house and had come
to tie schoolhou5e because he had missed
his tile boy pi4g aate, as usually
h was hon4e before so late an hour.
The picture fhe ljt5la company made
as Is plowed through the dark storm
would be a masterpiece if painted.
After an hours battle, in which three
of the children had frost bitten noses
I'd cheeks, the dog was barking and
scratching at the door Of the ranch
house. He had led them unfalteringly.
Miss Deit1h stumbled in at the door
and fell in a swo5n. She had held out
all this TIM against the hope that the
dog might not be reliable IN direction,
and if not they wol,d have frozen on
the prirle.
Sunday morning, January 10th, the
snow was twenty feet around the
schoolhouse, ami the children were
safely within the ranch, happy and
warm Tne anxious parents from other
homes soon found their children and
congratulated Miss Deitch, who will be
presented as deserving a Carnegie
medal.

Some idea of tie magnitude oi
Ely's great smelter can be obtained
from the fact that the buildings Of
the plant will cover about forty
acres of land. This is the es.l-

alive of the American Bridge Com

Company has the contract for fur
nishing the frame of the building
and Mr.. Kyle's duty here is to put
the designs drawn at the snelter
draughting rooms in shape for the
workmen at the foundry of his
company.
Designs for the first unit of the
concentrator have already been fin
iShed and sent to this foundry.
The first unit will cover ieht
acres. There will be three units Of
equal size, so that the concentrator,
when finished, will alone cover
twenty four acres The bins and
other structures required Ill the
operating of the smelter will swell
the acreage covered by buildings to
about forty acres.
The word unit is used in
connection with the work Of con-
structing the concentration for con
veni-nce, and does not mean that
there will be three concentration
buildings When the work is all
done it will be one great structure.
The smelter warehouse is about
completed, and graders are at work
upon the foundations of the otis I
buildings. Much Of this grd iiag
is being done by contract.

SPECIAL To THE NEWS

Washington, Feb. 3.-War

remotest Of possibilities here.
The differences between the
United States and the belliger~
ent oriental nation have now
reached Il stageNthat has created

The seriousness Of the stu
atiun is indicated in the sudden

The California members now
seem disposed to pIacated Japal g,
instead Of persisting in the rigid
determination TO admit of no
compromise in their fight against
the yellow perilo of the Pacific
Coast. This change may have
been due to the revelation of the
nearness to war, as Indicated by
the attitude Of the japanese
government.
Japan is now in IA stare of pre-

at least temporarily formidable,
while it would take some time
for this country to put its army
