SAYS WOMAN IN CASE
DECLARES BEFORE CORONER'S
JURY THAT HE WAS "GUN
FIGHTER" WITH RECORD.

The testimony which was brought
out at the first session of the cor
oner's jury, which was held at the
court house yesterday afternoon was
of a sensational character. This was
to the effect that Sanders had not
met his death at Constable Gilbert's
hands, but that another had fired the
shot which ended his life. This tes-
timony in connection with that given
by Ruth Deardolf, the woman in
the case, to the effect that Sanders

liarly sensational.
At the conclusion of the session,
an adjournment was taken until
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. 1t is
believed that Arthur Luchesi and
Harry Waller, who left Immediately
after the shooting for Bakers ranch
near Garrison, Utah, eighty miles
distant, and to notify Gilbert's sis
ter. Mrs. Bliss, of the tragedy, will
have returned by that time. Their
testimony is particularly desired by
the jury as they were the first ones
to. enter the room after the shooting
began.
The coroner's jury was impanelled
by Justice of the Peace A. j. Cart

are State Senator H. A. Comins, M.
Y. McGill, A. G. Cunningham, j. S.

There were four empty chambers in

Gilbet's Gun Not Fired.
In Gilberts revolver there was but
one empty chamber and in this was
no discharged cartridge. 1t was
brought out that it was Constable
Gilbert's custom to carry his ,revol-
yer with the hammer down on an
empty chamber to avoid the posi-
bility of accident.
The other five chambers of the re-
volver were fully loaded, and the
weapon had not been discharged re-

had frequently boosted to her of
many gun fights in which he had
been a party, and that he had par
ticipated in train robberies, and other
desperate deeds in various parts of
the country. He had travelled all
over the world, according to the
woman's story, and was considered,
in the circles of the underworld as
a desperate character and all around
bad man." She said he had told
her that he purposed to hold up a
local business house but she did not
remember what house he intended to
rob.
Continuing her testimony the wo-
man said that Sanders had been en-
ployed by her as cook. When ques-
toned as to the events Immediately
prior to the shooting she said that
on Saturday afternoon Sanders. who
had been drinking heavily, came into
her house, slapped her in the face
and took a sum of money from her.
He then went back to town and con-
tinued gambling.
Returning later in the evening he
made further demands for money and
she refused to supply him with any
more.
Sanders then left the house. The
woman went to her trunk and re-
moved small sack of money, alb
stracting from it ten dollar bill,
which she put on the dresser. The
remainder of her money she con-
cealed.
SANDERS Acted Deliberately.
Sanders again cane to the house.
The witness said that she knew ne
was in bad temper. He deliberately
locked the doors, pulled down the
shades and savagely demanded OF her
that she give him the rest of the
money.
The woman then called Sanders
attention to the ten dollars on the
dresser and told him that he could
have that. Sanders savagely slapped
her. pushed her over on the bed and
attempted to smother her by cover
ing her face with a pillow. He
threatened to take her life unless she
told him where she had concealed
her money. She then gave him the
sack and he said that she could keep
the ten dollars.
Sanders then went to town, she
saws, and gambled this money away
! He came back in worse mood than
before. He again began to beat her
and she ran screaming out of the
back door and into the dance hall
through the rear entrance and then
sent for Constable Gilbert. Both
lights were burning at thta time.
Enters House of Death.
Constable Gilbert asked her what
was the matter and went at once to
her house AS he opened the door
he drew his revolver and stepped in
side. The shooting began at once
When the woman went in few mo-
ments later, she says, Sanders was
lying dead on the trunk and Gilbert
was on the floor near the outer door
The theory which was advanced
| Immediately after the shooting that
Sanders had blown out his own
brains after shooting Constable Gil
bert was refuted by Dr. R. H. Rich
ardson, who was called to the stand
and examined.
DR.. Richardson said that in his
| Judgment the wound in Sanders
head could not have been self-in
flicted. The flesh was not powder
burned as would have been the case
had Sanders fired the fatal shot.
At the conclusion of DR.. Richard
sons testimony tn jury took recess
until two O'Clock Monday afternoon

Raw Euus as a Tonic.

Those who take raw eggs as a tonic
ieclare that an egg is spoiled by any
kind of cooking. The fresher the egg
the better. The most popular and
pleasant way of serving the egg is in
sherry. Very little is needed in the
glass. Into this the egg is broken,
and it is then swallowed whole. One
VIII be surprised how easily the egg
slips down the throat and the pleasant
taste 1t Ieaves. Some believe that
half the benefit of the egg is lost If the
yolk is broken. The best time to
take raw eggs is before meals, es-
pecially breakfast. After taking this
diet for week or two, it should be
discontinued for several days and
then resumed. Raw eggs are more
easily digested than cooked ones.
Hard boiled and fried eggs are the
most difficult to digest.

They are still sinking the Lillian min g
in Russell district and are gaining depth
rapidly. The shaft is now down dis
tance of 465 feet and when this lift is
finished it will be 500 feet deep. During
the sinking process hardly any ore is be-
ing shipped, although occasionally some
is sent away. This runs very good as
a good vein is being followed. This
week some excellent ore was uncovered
that showed extra high values. 1t
seems that the deeper they go the better
the ore runs. After the present lift is
finished levels will be started.

which is made of steel wire and is
three miles long, costs $4,000 and lasts
from ten to twelve months. 1t is end

up and down tracks supported on
iron pulleys, dipping underground at
either end. At Glasgow each train is
fastened on to it by chain arrange

Gold Rock Struck More Ore.

The cross cut in the above mine sit
uated in upper Russell Gulch has at last
encountered the desired point, and drift
ing will soon commence. This was in
the 600 foot level where they had been
driving for a vein that was known to exist
with very high values. 1t had been
worked in the levels further up and the
supposition was that it would again be
found further down, which prove tp be a
fact. The end wall has not yet been
found and vein about IS inches wide of
quartz and about six or eight of iron and
sulphites has thus far been uncovered.
The latter looks fine and it is expected
that it will carry very good values in the
precious metal. This vein has proven
very successful in the upper levels and
from all indications will pan out as well
il not better here. A shipment of ore is
being made from the 800 foot level this
week but as yet no returns have been
received.

DIR. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
