Washington, March 4.-John Colt
Spooner has resigned as United States
Senator from Wisconsin and the leg
islature now in session at Madison
will elect a successor to fill the re-
mainder of the term ending March
8, 1909.
Senator Spooner will retire from
public life. to resume the practice of
law in New York, being impelled to
take this action at the very height of
brilliant career because he can no
longer afford to make the financial sac
rifice required of the man of talent
who serves his country in high posi-
ton.
The letter of resignation which was
mailed to Governor Davidson of Wis
consin Saturday, was made public
here and caused much surprise, ex-
cept among a few of the intimate
friends Of the senator in official life.
These friends had been aware of his
intention to resign for several weeks
and had sought to dissuade him from
his determination.
During his long career in the Sen
ate, broken by the term filled with
his fellow townsman. William F..
Villas, Democrat, Mr.. Spooner has
been identified with all the
great matters of legislation. He
mas been the presidential adviser OF
thliee Standardization, Mckinley
and Roosevelt. There is scarcely a
measure of great Importance enacted
in recent years that does not bear the
stamp of his genius.

Justification, Not UnWritten Law

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 2.-The jury in
the Hines case was completed yes
teday and the remaining panel have
been excused for a week which in
dicates that the trial of Hines for the
murder Of the Russian Count will
consume at least that much time.
Ten of the jurymen are married
men which according to the opinion
of outside attorneys who are closely
watching the case is a point in the
favor of the accused man.
Justification and not the unwritten
law will be the grounds on which the
defense will work in their attempt
to clear Hines of this murder. In
other words they will advance the
theory that husband has a legal
right to slay the traducer of his
home at any time whether it one day
been committed. This point of law
is different than any other ever
brought out in this state or even in
the country in a trial Of this sort
and the decision of the same in this
trial will carry a wide spread in
fiuence.
Hines who is attended daily in the
court room by his wife and mother
in-laW wears confident look and
seems to think acquittal at the hands
Of the jury a foregone conclusion.

Il was Oh my way home from up

The man made no reply. The man
was about five feet ten inches tall
and his weight was about 165 pounds.
He wore brown suit and a celluloid
collar and was clean shaven. | have
been conscious of having been follow
ed for the past three weeks and have
no doubt that those who attempted
my life were persons connected with
the Western Federation of Miners
and that | was marked for death on

used in this case as in the assassin
alton of the governor of Idaho. The
bomb was connected with wire
which ran along the fence to a dis
lance Of about forty feet from the
impliment of death which was made
of dyanimite. At this point the op-
orator controlled the machine and
when the sheriff entered his gate
the internal machine was discharged.
Business is practically suspended
in Baker City and since the death of
Sheriff Brown the people Of this place
are demanding that the federal au-
thorities take up the case and see
that the guilty parties are run to
earth. The feeling against the West
ern Federation or Miners Is growing
stronger daily and the many friends
an acquaintances of the dead man are
firm in the belief that the same agents
who caused the death of the late
governor Of Idaho are the ones who
planned and executed the death of
Harvey K Brown.

NO TRACE OF SUP
POSED WOUNDED MAN
Has Not Been Heard of Since he
Ceased Calling For Help
at an Early Hour This
Morning

Last evening about six o'clock
while Lance Chapman was returning
from the tule fields at Washoe Lake
where he had been hunting ducks
he heard a shot and in moment or
so repeated calls for help. He an
swered them, asking what was the
matter. In reply to his inquiry a
man answered that he had shot him
self in the leg and was bleeding to
deaf. Chapman at once went to his
companions, Percy Esther and Ray
Furlong and the three men got into
a boat and started to the rescue of
the unfortunate man.
He continued to call for help and
to fire his gun to let them know
where he was located. They kept up
the search for about an hour but it
was impossible to MAKE any headWay
through the thick tules to where the
man was supposed to be. About this
time three other men attracted by
opposite direction and the six men
began to parole the tule fields. From
the sound of the mans voice it was
evident that he was in d boat and
was steadily moving about in the
tule fields. The Carson men con
tinued the search until eleven o'clock
at which time it was evident that
they could not get the wounded man,
owing to the thickness of the tules
and the darkness. They called to
the other men who replied that they
would remain there until morning.
The boys then rowed to the club
house and came direct to this city.
This afternoon representative OF
the Appeal in company with Messrs.
Elstner Chapman Millard and Harry
Millard Jr., made trip 10 the lake
in the latters auto. A stop was made
at all points on the lake but nothing
was known of the affair except at the
Carol club house. Here Johnny
Carol was seen and he told the same
story as the men had brought to this
CITY last night further stating that
the cries of the wounded man had
continued until an early hour this
morning. Since the breat of day he
has heard no sound from the tule
fields and had seen nor heard nothing
of the three men who remained with

the wounded man.
Nothing further could be learned
there and the party continued on to
Washoe Uity. Nothing was known
of the affair there and no hunters
had been seen passing that place
during the day. The train crew on
the local was seen at this place but
they knew nothing Of the affair and
ing was known of the accident in
Reno.
At Franktown the agent there nor
the proprietors of the saloon could
give no information. A telephone
message to Virginia met with the
same results.
The whole matter at the present
time is a total mystery The man
called out his name to the searchers
last night and they understood it to
be either Mckay Or McKabe. He
did not state where he was from but
merely claimed that he had shot
himself in the leg and was badly III
jured.
It is the opinion of both Messrs.
Chapman and Elstner and also Johnny
Carol that if the man was really in
jured that he is dead in the tule
fields and the men who agreed to
stay with him last night deserted
their post and returned to their
homes and are keeping their iden-
tity unknown or else the man got
ratified and was afraid he could not
get out of the field and called for
help with the statement that he had
shot himself in order to get someone
to show him the way out. The latter
theory seems almost improbable as no
one in a sane mind would attempt
such proceeding merely because
they We're stranded safely in tule
field But if the latter should be the
correct theory he probably got out
| all right and is keeping extremely
quiet on the matter. It is undoubted
| ly one of the two things and the
thorough patrolling of the tule fields
by the hunters who daily go to the
lake will probably be the only way
| the mystery will ever be cleared up
as far as the safety or death of the
man, whoever he may have been.
