PROPOSAL
OF MINERS
IS REJECTED

II Is said that in all likelihood he will
carry the matter to the commission.
The commission could only urge,
ii they saw fit, upon the mine owners
to confer with the miners. They
could not so any further than that,
for it is not among their prerogatiyes
to settle any differences, to take one
side or the other.
Judge Hilton came here yesterday
from Carson, where he had been en-
gagged in presenting arguments be-
fore the Supreme Court for a new
trial for Preston and Smith, the mur-
derers of Silva. The lawyer, in
speaking of the proposal that would
be made to the mine owners in case
they agreed TO a conference, would
include plan to rid the camp of the
agitators who are still here, He
said that when he was here last sum-
mer, he spent $1200 for transporta-
tion of undesirable members of the
union, and that they had not come
back. and that at present there was
only handful of similar characters

Indictments Against
Brown and Bdrtnett
(By Associated Press. J

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-TheI
attempt of the depositors' commit
tee to induce Presiding Judge Coffey
to stay reeeivership proceedings for
ten days met with failure yesterday
morning. The committee, headed byI
Edward Bonheim, called at the cham
bers of the Judge for the purpose of
comforting with him. and was de-
MED an audience
In view of Judge Coffey's disin-
cination to hear from the depositors,
1t now seems that the appointment
of receiver is inevitable.
II positively think that il the as
sets Of the suspended California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company were
placed on the market at once they
would bring so cents on the dollar
for depositors, said d. j. Grammar,
after a conference with C. H. Cush-
ing. in charge of the affairs of the
wrecked banking institution. Grau-
| man. together with A. j. Pom and II
l.. A. Bates. constitutes the assets
and liabilities committee appointed
by the executive committee of twenty
one representative depostors of the
suspended bank. BY appointment,
the committee conferred with Cush-
| ing yesterday afternoon.
Grammar and all members OF the
committee incline to the opinion that
If the assets OF the suspended insti-
tuition are properly husbanded they
will net depositors more than SO
cents on the dollar in the end
Present conditions in the business
world are not such that assets of the
nature held by the closed bank should
be dumped promiscuously on the
market" said Grammar. Certain
securities. such as railroad and ga:
bonds, are affected by market condi
tions. and proper conserving OF Sc
curities would certainly net more
} funds in the long run"

BONAPARTE IS
NOW MENTIONED

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The Chicago
Tribune, recognized Rooseyeltian
newspaper. announces today that an
underground movement for the nom
ination of Attorney General Bona
parte for the presidency is in prog
ress.
The announcement Is distinct
surprise in Republican circles, and It
is believed that il is made more as
a suggestion to see just how the lead
ers would accept his name. Bona
parte has a reputation for fiery indie
pendence, but his former affiliation
with the democracy is regarded as a
serious bar to the serious considera-
tion Of his name by Republicans.

property has been bought by a New

of the movement is not stated, but the
man at the helm is a man well-known
hereabouts, and is, possibly, not a straD-
ger in Palisade.
This is certainly a ten-strike for some
one. as the plot is one of the choicest
around New York, and should prove a
gold mine for whoever develops it the
right way. While we hate to lose this
lovely park, which has given so many
people happiness, at the same time the
improvement along the right lines is
bound to be a great aid to Palisade be-

out and it caught in a rail joint of the

wrist like Dipestems. He was carried

father, who happened to be on the course
watching the dangerous sport At the
house surgical attendance was quickly
summoned and every attention given the

1t is certainly to be hoped that the law
