forced Levi White, collector of taxes,
to surrender stock of merchandise
ON which he had levied for taxes.
The stock was removed from the
collectors home and returned to the
store of Levi Oppenheimer, from
which it had been taken. The armed
band then paraded the streets, firing
volley after volley in celebration OF
the work.
John Armstrong. deputy sherln,
was shot in the foot. An unknown
man was slightly wounded by two bul-
lets. which graZed his side.
The trouble is of old standing. SIX

JANUARY WEATHER IS FOOLISH
Statistics of the Past Twenty Years
Show It Produces Varieties to
Suit All Tastes.

During the past 20 years, the average
temperature for the month of January
has been 33 degrees. The coolest day,
according to history compiled by the
weather bureau was on January Is, 'SS,
when the mercury went down to
II degrees below. The other extreme
was one day, a week after New Years
day, 1902, when Walla Walla had the
spring like temperature of 81 degrees.
The coolest month was that of 1890
when the average temperature for
January was only q degrees. The
warmest day was that of 1887 when
the mercury averaged just twice that
heighth for the entire month.
For the past 20 years, January has
averaged IS days in which there was
more than an inch of snow on the
ground. The banner snowfall year was
1894 when about five inches of rain and
melted snow fell.
Judging from the record of the past
the sun will not be on duty much Oft
ener during the coming month than
it has been during the two months
past, for the average number of clear
days for January is only four
The greatest snowfall recorded in
any, "a hours was tho Z < inches which

STARTLING REVELATIONS.
Promised by Secret Service Men In
vestigating Coal Mine Murder.

DURANGO, Colo, Nov. S.-The
mystery cloud surrounding the kill
ing of Joseph A. Walker, the Denver
United States secret service agent at
the Hesperus mine last Sunday, prom
ises to be lifted within forty-eight
hours. All the machinery of the gov
eminent secret service has been set
in mtoion to that end and some start
ling developments are promised.
A dozen secret service men and
government attorneys and agents who
have been sent here do not hesitate
to charge conspiracy to murder for
the purpose of preventing the further
probing of coal land frauds in La
Plata county.
1t is believed by the government in
spectors that their search for eyi-
dence will carry them into the ram
parts of thorough organization OF
coal and timber land thieves, and
will bring to light illegal acts that
would put a pirate band to shame
The arrested men, Mason and Van
derweide, are sullen and refuse tc
say anything.

ceding the last presidential election
we have done decidedly better than
we did in 1903. Then, as on Tues
day, Rhode Island and Maryland went
against us, but this year we have won
a sweeping victory in Kentucky for
the first time since McKinley's first
election; and the victory in Massa-
chusetts was also remarkable.
1.-The showing in Pennsylvania is
equally good. The showing in New
York state, as a whole, was excellent,
far better than was the case prior
to the last presidential election. That
the result in Manhattan was due to
purely local causes is shown by COM
pairing it with the decisive triumphs
in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Albany and in
the state generally. The president s
home county of Nassau made better
showing than it ever has in an Off
year. AS a whole the showing has
been an improvement over what 1t
was four and eight years ago.

Foreman Lauritzen of
McGiIl Ranch Fallen
Upon by His Horse.
BELIEVED TO Be DYING
Has Fractured Skull and Bad In.
ternal Injuries Accident Re.
suit of Horse Stepping in Hole.

| Orson LauritZen, foreman of the
McGill ranch and widely known in
the district, was probably fatally in
Jured early yesterday afternoon as
the result of his horse stepping in
hole and falling.
With a companion Mr.. Lauritzen
was on his way to the ranch, which
is not far from the smelter, when his
horse suddenly went into the hole
and was thrown forward and over on
its back. Mr.. Lauietzen was carried
with the animal and fell under it in
such position that the horn of the
saddle struck in his abdomen, with
the full weight of the horse bearing
down.
The companion of the injured man
rode back to the smelter with a..
possible speed and by telephone sum-
moned DR.. E. l.. r. Wallace from Ely
City and DR.. Abbott at McGill A
wagon was then secured and the in
jured man brought to the hospital
at the smelter, where he was re-
ported last night as lowering between
life and death. The chances for his
recovery are very slight.
Examination by the physicians dis
closed that the skull of Lauritzen
was crushed back of the left ear and
that the horn of the saddle had oc-
casioned internal injuries. The
fracture of the skull, an injury in it
self sufficient to prove fatal. was due
to Lauritzen's head striking a rock
as he was hurled to the ground with
the horse. The force of the fall of
the latter is told in a broken leg.
which necessitated that the animal
be shot.
Mr. Lauritzen is about 81 years of
age. With his wife and children he
has made his home on the McGill
ranch for some time. The news of
the accident when told the wife yes
terday afternoon almost Frustrated
her. LauritZen is particularly well
known about McGill and the smelter
and through at all times agreeable
manner made friends of all with
whom he met.

NOT AFRAID OF INVESTMENT.
San Francisco Man Would Put 500,
OOO in Local Property If He
Saw Opening.

Herman Fredricks, a San Francisco
iewelryman and capitalist, is in town
for few days. He owns build
ing on the north side of Aultman
street and has had plans drawn for
a three story brick structure.
Mr.. Fredricks came here for the
purpose of looking into general con-
ditions before deciding whether to
commence erection of his new build
ing at once or to wait while. He
has great faith in the outcome of the
camp and says he would put $50, 200
into real estate here as quickly as he
would put in one dollar if he saw
the opportunity for investment
Mr.. Fredricks is far sighted and
has reputation in Nevada as an ex
cellent judge of values. Besides his
Ely interests he is the owner of much
real estate in Reno, where he made
his home for many years.

GOOD TIME To
STAY WITH JOB
CONDITIONS DO NOT FAVOR WAN
DERING-ELY Is IN MUCH BET
TER SHAPE THAN OTHER
CAMPS MINERS MIGHT GO TO.

The miner who gets fever in his
feet these days and looks toward the
outgoing trails, confronts a PROPOSE
tion that gives him occasion for a
considerable amount of thinking be-
fore he rolls his blankets.
A group of men among whom We're
several with departure for new fields
in mind were discussing the matter
on a street corner yesterday. The re-
suit was that those who were think
ing of leaving took better counsel
and concluded to remain.
ITS this way" said one of them
afterwards, "where is fellow going
to go when he leaves here, that is
to get work? There has been less
reduction in working forces here
than in any of the other big camps
and when they get ready to ship from
the mines in this camp next year to
the smelter all the fellows who have
remained on the ground are sure to
get back on the old shifts, right into
permanent jobs. If we could go out
to some of the other camps now and
step into work, it would be different
For myself, l have a job here that is
going right along and that | don't
believe will close down. Most of us
are in the same fix. | don't know OF
many men here who are out of work
because they cannot get it. In other
camps we hear from that is not the
case. AS for Ely she is certainly
big one and as good place to stay
as any I know of. OF course fellow
likes to move around some, but with
things in the shane they are in now
it strikes me as mighty good policy
to hang onto the best looking thins
in sight, which is right here"
