TROOPS WILLREMAIN.
ROOSEVELT WILL LEAVE PRO-

Roosevelt Had Demanded That State
Must Take Action to Protect Itself
or He Would Withdraw Federal
Troops ImmediateIy-No More Fear
of Trouble in Goldfield.

Reno, New, Dec. 30.-A special SEES
sion of the Nevada legislature will be
called by Governor John Sparks The
governor says that he will issue the
proclamation today and that the date
Of converting will be in about two
weeks.
The call will be made at the request
of President Roosevelt, who has mott.
fed Nevada's governor that such &C.
ton must be taken or troops now at
Goldfieid would be removed. Notiffca-
ton of the decision to assemble the
legislature has been transmitted, Gov.
ernor Sparks says, to Washington.
GoldfieId Is Assured Peace.
Goldfeld, New, Dec 80. - The
announcement made here that Gov.
ernor Sparks has telegraphed word to
President Roosevelt that he will call
the Nevada legislature together in spe-
cial session as soon as possible has put
an entirely new aspect on the labor
situation here. At least a portion OF
the federal troops will, it is thought
remain in Goldfield for an indefinite
period and all fear of any serious dis.
turbance growing out of the dispute
has vanished. It is not at all certain
that the legislature will act in &C.
cordance with the wishes Of Governor
Sparks, but the calling of the special
session will have the effect Of keeping
federal troops in Goldfield for several
weeks and will make the possibility Oh
serious trouble more remote.
The governor has asked many prom
inent citizens of Nevada for an ex.
preston of opinion regarding the spe
cial session and has received only IA
vorable replies.
The Esmeralda county grand jury
has refused the appointment of a
board Of arbitration to attempt a settle
ment of the strike. George Wingfeld
prominent as a member of the mine
owners association, is member of the
grand jury. The governor will give at
least 10 days notice of the convenins
Of the legislature and the call will be
issued Monday or Tuesday.
County Commissioner Rosenthal OF
Goldfeld. asked for his resignation by
Governor Sparks, has refused to va.
cate his Office. and Sparks said today
the refusal had been received at the
executive Office Rosenthal was
thought by the governor to be W ,rking
contrary to Sparks interests.

HANGED, BUT HE CHEATS Law
Pronounced Dead on December 13-
Nursed to Life.

Bristol, Va, Jan. 2.-According to a
report received from Greendale there
is good authority for the statement
that Noah Fulton, hanged at Abing-
don December 10 for the murder of
John Johnson, is still alive. Although
pronounced dead, it Is stated Fulton's
neck was not broken by the fall When
life was supposed to be extinct the
body was given to relatives, who hur-
riedly left for their home near Green
dale. The man has since been care
fully nursed,. according to the repor.,
and is now In fair way of recovery
The matter Is being investigated.
The crime for which Fulton was
hanged grew out OF mountain feud.
1t was contended that Fulton is weak
minded and was put up to the crime
by others.

Grave 10 Disturbed toAsolve Mystery
ct London.
Loadon.-The work Of opening the
grave Of ThomasN Charles Druce In
Highgate cemetery to determine pri-
marty whether the coffin contains the
body Of man or, as has been asserted,
q roll Of sheet lead weighing some 200
pounds, was begun today. incidentally
the clearing up of this mystery viii
nelp materially the progress Of the
famous bruce case.
The three-ton monument which
marks the resting place Of the Druce
family was removed by . score Of
workmen, who were protected from
public observation by shed which
had been erected around the burial
plot Within the shed electric lights
were installed, 30 that operations
might proceed without interruption.
All of those in attendance at the
opening Of the grave and the coffin
have been sworn to secrecy, SO that
the result OF the investigation will not
be known until the expert evidence is
developed at the police court.
Duke or Portland or Druce7
Herbert bruce, the defendant in the
now famous case, is charged with COM
hitting perjury by swearing that his
father, Thomas Charles bruce, of the
Baker street bazaar, died December 2e
1864, and that he saw the dead body
placed il, coffin and buried in High
gate cemetery. His nephew, George
hollandby bruce, declares that this
must be untrue, because C. T. Druce
was in fact the fifth duke of Portland,
who lived until 1879. That being Sd
George Hollandby bruce claims that
he himself, being the senior descent
ant in the male line, is now the right
full heir of the Portland dukedom and
to certain rich estates, the income
from which is placed at $1,500,000 a
year, now held by Lord Howard de
Walden. The opening of the grave,
however, will not give conclusive proof
of the claim Of George Hollandhy
bruce.
Later Report.
Thomas Charles Druce's coffin con-
tains human remains. The body Of an
aged, bearded man was found when it
was open in Highgate cemetery. The
feature were unrecognizable, but it is
generally considered the find wrecks
the hopes Of George Holamby bruce,
claimant to the title and estates of the
dukedom of Portland.
The perjury charge against Herbert
BRUCE, the elder Druce's son by second
in the coffin Is years before the fifth
duke Of Portland died, falls to the
ground.
