THEM. SAYS CAPTAIN.
Fire Board Doesn't Like Dolbier's Elk

bad brakes were alleged by Captain
Edward Dolbier. of Engine Company 10.
to have been the cause of an accident to
his engine when it collided with a tele-
graph pole. breaking one of the shafts.
This explanation was made yesterday to
the Fire Board.
The commissioners interpreted his expla-
nation as a slap at them and Immediately
gave the captain to understand that the
brakes In use were the best that could be
bought and they were not to be blamed If
they did not work properly.
Captain Dolbier will be called upon to
attend the next meeting of the board and
explain to its members why he should at
tempt to ~criticise them.
The accident referred to occurred while
the eompan was returning TO quarters
from a fire. In pulling out of the car
tracks in Clinton avenue, near Thomas
street, ole of the horses fell and the animal
was pushed over the pavement a con-
siderable distance before the machine was
brought to a stop against a telegraph
pole, the contact breaking the pole of the
engine.

from John p. Barrett. formerly of Engine
Company IS, asking that his case be

matter was attended to by the Common

BURLINGTON, Dec. 12.-Arrested on
warrants charging them with the muir
der of Edward C. jefferson, the aged
n wealthy grocer, three weeks ago,
Elmer Assay, Frank Williams and Tony
Allegretto were hurried to the county
jail last night through fear of violence
should they be kept in the local jail
over night. A trolley car was stopped
in front of the jail, and in 1t Sheriff
Norcross and a dozen deputies rushed
the handcuffed prisoners to Mt. Holly.
the county seat, sever miles distant.
The authorities are confident of their
ability to fasten the murder upon these
men. They had been seen following
Jefferson prior to the night he was
lassoed and his eyes gouged out within
the shadow of his own home. The as
sassins then robbed him and threw his
body in front of a train. Jefferson was
high in Masonic circles and popular
throughout the city, and threats Of
lynehing were made by citizens.
The cord with which Jefferson was
lassoed, a duplicate of which was found
in a rendezvous of the men arrested to-
night. will be a strong link in the chain
of evidence which the police have dis
covered. Their Cease will go to the
Grand Jury on December "a.
Assay and Williams had been on a
spree for three weeks before the muir
der, and had been before the police for
desperate endeavors to get cash. Assay
was accused of even robbing his brother
to obtain rum money. Williams an

that Assay. Williams and Allegretto had

Jefferson about the streets in the even

In fact, the detectives believe they

finding of which would forge the last
link in a chain of evidence.

Lentz,s Defense.

"Major Lentz's Defense.

the brand of English which he uses.

out a his own statement, not that of

Governor himself dictated the state

was oftac'ying Major Lentz's English
he was a~ssailing Governor Stokes's
English. 1t is all very funny to me, for
everybody knows that the Governor is

MINES OF THE
ATLANTA DIST.
Two Big Up-to-Ddte Mills Being In
stalled On Properties
There.

Atlanta, Oct. Probably no
other mining camp of Importance
in the state Of Idaho has had so
little said about its big mines and
wonderful future as that of the At
lanta district. Two of the largest
quartz mills in the state, with a
daily capacity of reducing $50 tons
of ore are now in course of COM
plction for the big mines of the
Monarch and Bagdad Chase Mining
companies. These mills are both
being built to reduce the ores by
practically the same process, namely
by amalagamation, concentration
and then by the cyanide process to
treat the tailings. Shining tables
are also to be used in connection,
which will add materially in saw
ing the values in the fines. The
greatest loss in milling the ores of
this district has always been in
the Shines and these tables will
recover this loss.
Thete are millions of tons of ore
OF commercial value blocked out
in the mines of the Atlanta district
and the future of the camp has al
ways been dependent on the sue
cessful working of these ores,
which in the past has been fail
ure on account of the great loss
caused by not having the proper
process to treat the ores. Vas
sums of money have been expended
and tons of ore shipped to differcn
sanpling works for a successful
treatment of these ores by tn,
Monarch company, which is nov
putting in one of these by mill
at cost of more than 500, 1000
under contract by the builders t,
save at least IS per cent of tn
values. Now that these obstacle
have been overcome it is safe t
say that with the completion O
these two big mills which are onl
forcrunners of many more to fol
low, Atlanta is destined to be on
of the greatest gold and silver pro
ducing camps of the west. Their
are hundreds of good properties i
