The Silver State News Aids in
Avertng A Fuel Famine
Railroad Officials Take Cognizance Of the
Fuel Situation Here and Order that
Coal be Shipped in at Once

Recent issues of the Silver State
News containing accounts of the fuel
situation in Winnemucca last winter,
when there was much suffering because
of the inability of the people to pro-
cure coal, and reciting the facts that
little or no coal had been received in
""mucca since last spring, the res
taa14g her places were run
ming short, = : .,9inting out the ser
lousness OF general situation, have
been brought to the attention of rail
road officials in Salt Lake City, with
the result that the fuel famine has
been averted.
General Superintendent Manson of
the Oregon Short Line sent clippings
OF the Silver State News of July 11th
to different coal companies in Utah
and Colorado, requesting them to ship
coal to Winnemucca if possible at an
early date. The Webbcr Coal Co. of
Utah, acting upon the instructions of
Mr.. Manson, wrote F. N. Muller, stat
ing that they had heard from the gen
eral superintendent of the railroad
company, in which he had enclosed the
newspaper clippings, and they stated
they were prepared to ship him coal
upon receipt of his order. This COM
pany also wrote to the local railroad
agent, asking him to furnish the
names of the fuel dealers in Winnie

lie also has standing order in for

promised by the first of January.
Thus the seriousness Of the fuel sit
uation has been lessened and danger of
a fuel famine seems abated, in all of
which the Silver State News took an
active part.

Claims His Late wife's Repeated In6delit
Drove Him to Madness and he was in
sane when He Killed Her

Sheriff Lamb returned lass evening,
having in custody : Buckaroo "
Jack, the Indian who shot
his wife in cold blood at
the camp of Ok Sam, chlcI of tho
northern Piutcs, at the McDermitt In.
dian school last April.
The prisoner was submissive and
gave the sh riff no trouble in bringing
him over from Fort Bidwell where he
was finally trailed down by Indian
ira lers, who have been continuously
on his back pa h since the murderons
decd was committed. Sheriff Lamb
swore to the warrant against Buck
aroo' jack in the Justice court at
Winnemueca, and the prisoner was
brought up before Judge Robins to
plead. He asked for trial and the
date has been set for tuesday, August
the 9th, at 10 O'Clock.
A reporter today oh aimed an inter
view with "Buckaroo' Jack and
got from him the eoml nation of cir
cumstanees that led up to the time
he drew the winchest' rifle and ended
his wife's existence. His sto,y is
garbled, and yet he tells il with an
carnestness that leaves no doubt but
what he was driven to the commission
of the crime by the mad passion of
jealousy, and still believes he was
justified in committing the heinous of
fense.
His story, reduced to plain English
is about as follows:
II was married to my wife in
1902. / worked hard, saved my mon
cy and bought little property. l
thought very much of my wife and
gave her everything she asked for.
We got along good together for a
few months, then my wife got tired
of me and often left my camp and
would be gore for two or three davs
at time. ] found out she was going
to see different Indians She was very
friendly with Willie Hardin, George
Hoppin and Harry Rosen, all three of
whom were going to the Indian sch o.

that she was unfaithful to me and
some Indians saw her when she was
unfaithful. ! said to her then and
mary tines afterwards, sWhy do you
do these thingss Civ ypm all the
money you want. ] work hard all tic

home She did net reply, but got
worse all the time, and | almost went
crazy sometimes when | thought about
her.

her TO come with me, for | was the
boss and | would not let her do those
things any more. She just laughed
at me. / went crazy, and / shot ner.
Buckaroo Jack says he will tell
more when his trial is held.
For an Indian he has an intelligent
face, which is singular'y free from the
vicio6s expression characteristic of
the red man.
District Attorney Ducker will rep
resent the case at the preliminary
hearing and the Indian will in all
probability be bound over to the grand
Jury.

ORANGE CHURCH
 HONORS PASTOR Memorial Services Held There Yesterday for Late Ben
 janin M. Wright. REV. MIR. SQUIRES' EULOGY Ministers of Nearby Towns Give Tributes of Respect
 to Their Friend.
REV. MIR. SoUIRES' EULOGl

In spite of the indictment weather yesterday afternoon, a large number of the parishioners of the Orange Congregational church, as well as many from New Haven, attended the memorial services for the late Rev. Benjamin M. Wright.
 Rev N. J, squires, of the West Haven Congregational church, who for several years has been a close per- sonal friend of MT. Wright, delivered eulogy on the life of the late pastor. MT. squires spoke of the great work which MT. Wright accomplished in a quiet way, not looking for the atten- tion or applause of his parishioners and associates, but for the betterment of mankind. He spoke of the loss to the community to his parishioners and to his friends, and of the loss to the world of such a man as MT. Wright.
 
 Several of MT. Wright's friends who are pastors in neighboring parishes spoke briefly, dwelling on different phases of MT. Wright's work, differ ent sides of his character, and prin- cipally on his sincerity. Among those who spoke were Rev, Dr. Leete, of the Dwight Place church, this city; Rev. MT. Persons, of Woodbridge; Rev. MT. Sumner, of Milford, and Rev Dr. Cur tis, of the Yale Divinity school
 During the services the quartet of the West Haven Congregational church rendered several selections.
 MT. Wright was for eleven years pastor of the Orange Congregational church. The Monday before he died he went to New York for an opera tion, from which he did not rally. He died in Greenwich several days ago. The interment was in Green l Wich.

BOOTH ANNIVERSARY
Observed in Fitting Manner at Congregational Church
 in Madison.
SERMON BY REV. r. j. LEE
Exercises Include Interesting References to Occurrences
 of the Past.
Special to The Journal-courier1

Special to The Journal Courier)
 Madison, Nov 4.--Desplte the in- clement. weather there was good sized attendance at the exercises In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Congregational church held here to-day
 The morning sermon was by Rev. George A. Bushee
 Prayer was offered by Rev. George W. Barnes of Guilford.
 Matinal greetings were extended by Rev F. E. Snow of Guilford. MT. Shows address was very interesting, going back, as he did, to before the real existence of Madison, Madison at that time being 8 part of Guilford. In 1645 the settlement of Guilford gave permission for persons to settled from Guilford to the Hammonassett river. In December, 1867, John Meigs, mak- ing clearing for himself, was delayed on Saturday and did not get back to Guilford until after sundoWn. and, as the Sunday then began ait sundown Saturday night Meigs was called before the church to answer to the charge of returning from work through Guilford on Sunday. He ex- plained that he worked over time un- Intentionally and was let off easier on that account.
 Another instance was related also of sea captain who, upon returning home on Sunday after a three years voyage, greeted his wife with a kiss as he met her out of doors and he was called before the church and severely punished for so doing.
 The next speaker was Rev. Otis J. Range of the Guilford Methodist church. He made interesting refer ences to the history of the church, al- luding especially to the change oc- curing thirty years ago.
 In the sermon the Rev. Timothy J. Lee of Merden preceded his regular discourse by quoting from a sermon preached one hundred years ago by Rev John Elliott from the text "Tine Is Short" Attention was called to the fact that hundred years ago the delivery of a sermon consumed two and a half hours, while to-day one of thirty or forty-fivs minutes Is thoueht to be hong enough. In the old days an hour glass stood In the pulpit, and when thes sand ran out the ruinissss

Rev. Walter c, Clapp Tells of Four
 Years Work at Boutoc.

At Christ church, West Haven, yes- terday morning the Rev. Walter c. Clapp, one of the pioneer mission aries of the Episcopal church In the Philippines, gave a most interesting ac- count of his work among the natives.
 Mir. Clapp has been on the islands since 1901, working, for one year after his arrival there with the Rev. John A. Staunton in Manila, From there he was sent to the mountains of Central Luzon to work among the Ilocanos and Igorots. After establishing for himself a mission house, he learned the native language and has completed the first entire vocabulary of Bontoc Igorot and translated the creed the Lords prayer, some of the psalms and some songs.
 After nearly four years of hard work the church at Bontoc is firmly estab- lished and several hundred have re- ceived baptism and been confirmed. IA dispensary which Is carried on in con- nection with the mission house has treated and cared for several thon- sands of cases during the past year.

 MT. Lee took for his text this even ing John iv, 3S. He said that not all New Englanders were able to trace sheir ancestry back to the landing of the pilgrims, but New England blood tells in the time of trial. He referred to the response of Madison men when soldiers were needed in the civil war and the heroes of the Fourteenth and Twenty-seventh regiments, largely composed of Madison men, were held up as examples. One to go out and give his life for his country was the Rev. Samuel Wiske, pastor of the Madison Congregational church.
 The speaker, referring to our an- cestors, denied that they were narrow minded and said they had left us a magnificent legacy of individual rights, charity and other virtues. To take New England from the Union would be like taking the leaven from a loaf of bread.
 During the exercises there was a duet by Miss Georgia L. Scranton, of Madison, and Frank Leete, of Guil- ford, and cornet solo by w. D. P. Hall, of Clinton
 At 2 o'clock in the afternoon there was reading of the Scriptures by Rev. J. w. Herold of North Madison, and prayer was offered by Rev. M Bige- low, of Guilford.
 Among those in attendance from New Haven were Frank p. Bushnell, Sanford E. Stone, Henry J. Griswold, Charles M. Kelsey, c. E. Fields and a number of ladies also.
 There were present also people from New York, Philadelphia, Gpiiford, Clinton, Killingworth and Derby,
 The exercises this evening were omitted on account of the severe smtorm
