sMUGGLED ORE IN
A GASOLINE STOVE

RENO, Dec. s.-A gasoline stove,
partly filed with high grade ore, val
ued at more than $4,000, was dis
covered Saturday night in the rear of
the Europa hotel in this city and the
ore has now very mysteriously disap-
peared.
The stove was received at the hotel
several days ago and had been shipped
from Goldfeld. The proprietor of the
hotel thought it was unusually heavy,
and after keeping it for a time carried
1T into the back yard. On Saturday
night a foreigner appeared at the hotel
and asked for the stove. The propri-
etor told him he had placed it in the
back yard with other baggage, and
went with the man to look for it. Find
ing the stove, the man quickly tore it
open and took from it a piece of ore
filled with gold. Then he took others
out and placed them in a sack and
disappeared.
The proprietor of the hotel imme-
diately notified the police, and as it is
believed that the ore was stolen from
one of the Goldfeld mines, an attempt
is being made to find the fellow.

mittee of five union miners represent
ing the 400 miners of this camp, last
Saturday called upon Francis Burton
a %non-union miner, and ordered him
from the camp. They informed Bur

him and then force him to walk across
the desert to Fallon. Barton lost no
time in leaving the camp.
Dec. 10.-Burton was shot and killed
at noon today by j. Holman Buck, the
local newspaper man. Burton was not
a miner as first reported, but was the
head of one of the defunct Goldfield
banks. He had an nsavo record
and Buck printed an article exposing
the man, which caused Burton to make
threats against Buck s life. Buck heard
OF the threats and armed himself with
a sawed-off shotgun, which he carried
around with him a day or two uelore
he met Burton When the editor final
ly saw his man he pulled the CUR down
on him and ordered him to throw up
his hands. Instead of complying with
the order, Burton pulled his gun to
shoot, when Buck fred, the charge

LovELoCK WOMAN SHOOTS
HERSELF IN HAND IN PRO
TECTlNG HER HONOR

LOVELOCK, New Dec. S.-Charles
Smith, a farm hand who has been EN-
ployed on a ranch belonging to w. G..
Pitt of this place, is in the local Jail
charged with %assaulting Mrs. C. j.
Bromwall, wife of the manager of the
ranch. Mrs. Bromwall is at her home
in a serious condition as a result of
the man s vicious attack and is also suf-
fering from a pistol wound in her right
hand, inflicted by herself while at
tempting to defend herself against the
human brute.
Mr.. Bromwall discharged Smith for
not attending to his work, and, after
telling Smith to leave the ranch imme-
diately, went into the fields with the
other farm hands, leaving Smith in the
cabin he had been living in.
Shortly after Bromwell left Smith
entered the farm house and attacked
Mrs. Cromwell. He first knocked her
down and was dragging her through
the house towards a shed when she
reached for a revolver. The gun was
discharged and the bullet passed
through her right hand. The shot was
heard by two men working on the
farm and they hurried to the house.
They found Mrs. Cromwell unconscious,
lying in a small shea in the rear of the
house.
Smith had escaped but was later ar
rested by Constable Wolf.
Mrs Bromwell states that the fellow
did not succeed in carrying out his
purpose, as he became frightened and
left her after dragging her into the
shed.

JAPANESE STORY
Firmly DENIED,
There are No Negotiations Pending
Between the Governments.
AOKI IS NOT TO Leave,

Washington. July 10. From
the state department and from the
japanese embassy here comes a
swift and conclusive denial today
of the accuracy of The statement
cabled..fro The Hague to London
Daily Telegraph and reprinted in
this country to the effect that
Japan had made categorical de-
mands upon the United States
government for satisfaction in
connection with the treatment of
the japanese in San francisco,
AID had served notice of her in
tention to deal with the Califor-
mans herself if the national gov
ernment fails to do so. At the
state department it is said that the
American public is fully aware of
the nature of all exchanges that
have taken place on this subject.
That there has been no cores
pondence of recent dates and that
there are no negotiations in pro-
gress between the two govern.
ments. This statement is fully
confirmed at the japanese EN-.

lively stated that Ambassador

BEAN POT NOT IN FAVOR.
Boston Women Objected to II as En-
bIem Of Homecoming Week.

Boston is not to be represented by
a faring red label and a pot Of pre-.
sumably superb Boston baked beans,
says the Post of that city. That is.
only partially will she be represented
thus.
Certain Of the clubwomen Of the city
have faithfully considered the city's
reputation of culture and quality and
have decided that it would be folly to
send out stickers giving the vulgar
world to understand that our culture
lay in the baking of beans.
Delegates from all the women's
patriotic societies met Wednesday
afternoon in the Twentieth Century
club and discussed things connected
with the celebration of Old Home week
in Boston.
The Indian sign was put on the
mayors pet baked-bean stickers.
1t was suggested that sticker bear
ing a representation of Faneuil hall be
used instead and at this point Thomas
Anderson of Mayor Fitzgerald's pub
licity bureau arose and made haste to
explain that the quick ones had been
quicker to see that the baked-beans
stickers had fallen fat and that stick
ers of more dignifed character were
in preparation.
Neat little bundles of the pot and
beans stickers were passed around
but the delegates gracefully repudiated
them by saying that they guessed they
would wait until the Faneuil hall kind
made their appearance.

THE MONUMENT TO SHELLEY.

Gulf Of Spezzia, Italy.

A colossal monument to Percy
Bysshe Shelley, the poet, is shortly to
be erected near San TerenZo, Italy,
where he passed the last of his life.
The entire design is to be about 45
feet high, and 1t is to be attached to
a cliff facing the Sasa Magni, in which
he and later Byron lived, says the
New York Sun.
The work is being executed by the
Italian sculptor Fontana. The key
