COURT TO DISSOLVE MIN
ERS' UNION.
CHARGE CRIMlNALITY
THREE ORGANIZATIONS IN
CLUDED IN INJUNCTION
SUIT,

Goldfield, Nev.-To carry the fight
into the Federal Court will be the
next move of the Goldfield Mine Own
ers' Association. A suit will be filed
in the Circuit Court of the district of
Nevada, asking not only for an injunc-
ton against picketing and interference
but for the final dissolution of the
Goldfield Miners union.
The suit Is TO be filed by the Gold.
field Consolidated Mines Company
against the Goldfeld miners, the West
ern Federation of Miners, Charles A.
McKinnon, president of the local
union, and nineteen others officers of
the same. The complaint sets forth
the alleged vast extent and richness
of the mining interests involved and
the large number of persons holding
shares in the mines in various states
and territories; alleges that the Gold
field Miners union and the Western
Federation of Miners are voluntarily
unincorporated associations, and that
it is claimed 10 be a part of another
large organization known as the In
dustrial Workers of the World, also
unincorporated, which has the same
principles and seeks to accomplish it's
results by the same unlawful methods,
and has in its ranks as members OF
these associations. not only the min
ers Of the Goldfield district, but other
laborers, such as walters, clerks,
cooks, BARRIERS and barkeepers.
1t is further alleged that the West
ern Federation of Miners is organ
lied for the destruction of property
and creating endless strife, disorder,
bloodshed and rioting" The Goldfield
union is charged in the bill with lin
limitation" and of being guilty of
"wanton destruction of property, mur-
der Of innocent citizens, lawlessness
and anarchy to such an extent that it
has instituted reign of terror in the
Goldfield district" 1t is further al
legged that the Goldfield union is a
criminal society"
The court is asked to cite the de-
PENDANTS before it to answer the al
legations of the complaint and to is
sue a writ of Injunction restraining
the defendants from obstructing the
business of the Consolidated Mines
Company by threat, intimidation or
picketlng. An injunction against boy
colt is further asked for. The court
is asked to enjon the Goldfield unior
from holding any more meetings.
for. with full authority to enter or
the property of the complainant AMI
to carry out the orders of the court
and to arrest any person violatin9
them. Finally, it is petitioned that
the injunctions be made permanent.
and that the Goldfield Miners union
be abated and forever dissolved as 6.
nuisance and perpetually enjoinet 4
from any further meetings or action
of whatever kind or nature. The
complaint is signed by George Wing
field, vice president of the Consoli-
dated Mines Company.
One effect of the filing of this, 1t is
said. may be to induce President
Roosevelt to order a portion of the
troops now in Goldfield to remain on
the ground to assist in the enforce
ment of the mandates of the Federal
Court if necessary.

Denver.-Leniency in the full sense
of the term was used by Judge Lewis
when, after refusing to grant a new
trial, he imposed sentences upon the
defendants connected with the Lost
Bullion mine frauds Thursday in the
Federal Court. The convicted men
got off with Jail sentences ranging
from thirty TO fifteen days and fines

Blackman, who are credited with hay
ing first conceived the scheme of
palming an ordinary cave off as a won-
derful mine of Golconda-like riches, re-
ceived the heaviest punishment-each
a 81 1000 fine and thirty days in jail.
DR.. Il. c. Hunt and Danton Pinkus,
whom the jury recommended to the
mercy of the court and who are gener-
ally thought to have been dupes rather
than factors in the conspiracy shown
by the government, received a $50 fine
each. The rest were disposed OF as
follows: Arthur Levan, 500 and
costs; L. w. Sebben, 800 and costs;
William II. Wilson, fifteen days in the

and reach the conclusion not to in
fict the punishment that the facts
warranted"

Welded TO AN INDIAN.
Miss Cora M. Arnold of Denver Mar.
ries AIbino Chavarria of New

Denver.-The News gives the fol.
lowing account of the marriage of a
white woman to a Pueblo Indian:
Miss Cora Marie Arnold, step
daughter of the late George Wilder and
well known in Denver, was married
last Monday in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
to Albino Chavarria, a full-blooded In
dian. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Mr.. Rendon, Presbyte-
rian minister, and was witnessed by
the brides sisters. Misses Lillian and
Geneva Arnold, also of Denver.
The wedding was the end of a ro-
nance which had its beginning five
years ago during the Mountain and
Plain festival in Denver. Chavarria,
chief of the Santa Clara Indians, u
tribe of the Pueblos, was brought to
Denver with large number of his
tribesmen for one of the exhibits.
Among those who visited the Indians
in their camp at City park was Miss
Arnold, who, upon seeing the broad
shouldered, pleasant-mannered chief
attired in native costume, Immediately
formed an attachment for him, She
made frequent visits to the camp, and
later the Indian was invited to call at
her home.
Miss Arnold lived with her step
father and sisters in the Colonnade
flats, at ColfaX avenue and Marion
street, and the family was one of the
most prominent on Capitol hill. Miss
Lillian Arnold was formerly . teacher
In the Denver public schools, and an
other sister is the wife of United
States army officer.
The Indians first visit to his sweet
heart was the cause of a disagreement
between her and the remaining mem
bers of her family Objection was
made only to the Indians race, his
character being above reproach. Miss
Arnold, however, announced her in
tention to marry the chief despite
the objections of her family and
friends. Several ministers were asked
to perform the ceremony, but all re-
fused.
An attempt was made to have the
ceremony performed in Santa Fe, but
in that city also the clergymen re-
fused to officiate. Miss Arnold re-
turned to Denver alone, but the Indian
made frequent visits to the city, each
one of which was the cause Of new
outburst of gossip.
Chavarria is fully civilized, religious,
fairly well educated and well to do.
He speaks the Indian and Spanish Ian
guages, but does not understand Eng
lish, and Miss Arnold set to work to
learn the Spanish.
In April. 1905, George Wilder was
drowned in the Gulf Of Mexico while
enroute from Galveston TO Havana. He
left a will in which he disinherited the
present Mrs. Chavarria because OF her
refusal to give up her Indian lover.
The other sisters were left the entire
estate, which consists of some of the
best real estate in Denver.
After five years of effort the sisters
of Miss Arnold finally consented to the
marriage and one month ago they
went with her to New Mexico. Cha
varria owns a large farm near Taos,
New Mexico. which he cultvates him
self and it is understood that the cou-
pie will make their home there. Cha
varria is forty-five years old, and his
wife is few years his junior.

DEATH OF j. T. coRNFoRTH.
Noted Colorado Pioneer Drops Dead in
Seattle. Washington.

Denver.-A Seattle, Washington dis
patch Deeamber 27th, announces the
death of Joseph T. Cornforth, pioneer
freiShter of the great plains, explorer
Tor railroads and promoter of the Alas
ka Short Line, who dropped dead from
heart disease while watching a test
made on new ore crusher.
In 1897 he left Denver and went to
Sea- lie or his way 10 Alaska In the
interest of Canadian and Pittsburg cap
ltalists he made the first explorations
for what is now the White Pass & Yu-
kon railway.
Mr.. C0rnforth was for many years
one of the best known men in Denver
In both business and political circles
and few men could boast as many
friends.
His death, coming suddenly, cut
shcrt career of business and rail
road promotion in Alaska chat he ex-
pected would make him extremely
wealthy within the next few years. AL
though nearly sixty years old, he was
hale and hearty, and is said to have
tramped afoot over 1900 miles on
trips of exploration in Alaska during
the past ten years.
Joseph r. Cornforth was born in
Macclesfield, Cheshire, England, July
4, 1889 and came to the United States
in 1855.
Mr.. Cornforth resided in Peru, Ill
inois, for about year, during which
time he was employ' in Il dry goods
house, and then he combined with his
brother Birks in business in Atchison,
Kansas. A year later he went into
freighting with an OK team between
the Missouri river and Denver At this
time he invented the egg case, now in
common use.
After freighting for about four years
he went TO Cheyenne, Wyoming, and
engaged in the grocery business.
In 1870 his store was burned and the
savings OF years were lost. He then re-
turned to Kansas City and engaged in
the commission business until 1874. He
again came to Denver in 1874 and en-
gagged in the wholesale fruit business.
With his brother Birks he later started
a new house, one of the largest of Den
yer until 1898, when the panic caused
suspension.
In the fall of 1897, after having sue
cessfully organized and conducted the
first gold mining congress held in Den
yer he interested a company of men in
building a railroad in Alaska over the
site now occupied by the White Pass &
Yukon road, but failed to get fran
chiso. Canadian interests later built
the road, which cost S6,O00,O0O and
paid the same amount in dividends the
first two years.
Since that time he has resided in
Seattle and Dawson, Alaska, seldom
returning to Denver. AT the time of his
deaih he was president of the Alaska
Short Line railroad. which has begun
the construction of railroad from
Illiamnia tc Anvik. on the Yukon river.
Mr.. Cornforth first discovered the
use of mica in axle grease, but the
STANDARD Oil Company got the patent.
Another of his inventions was the poly
gonal banana case. He was also one OF
tn efirst advocates of irrigation in
Colorado.
Mr.. Cornforth married Miss Emma
Roper, the daughter of prominent
citizen of Glasgow. Missouri, in 1863.
He is survived by his brother. Thomas
T. Cornforth, daughter, Mrs Ed
monia Hamilton and a son, William B.
Corr iorth of the Cornforth Fish and
Oyster Company, all of Denver.

OLD PEOPLE MURDERED.
Fearful Crime Committed On Ranch
Near Lamar.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Lama, Colorado, Thursday, says:
One of the most tiendish crimes in
the history of this part OF the state
which must have occurred some time
Saturday night or carly Sunday morn
ing, was revealed today by the autopsy
held by Coroner Kellogg over the
bodies of a. H. Maxwell and wife. well
known people who resided on claim
eight miles southeast of here.
Both of the aged pair had evidently
been strangled to death while they
slept and there was little Indication OF
struggle. The post mortem revealed
that the trachea in each of their
throats had been broken and the
bruises on Mrs. MaXwells body and
broken bones in her chest We're evi-
IDENTIFY the result of the weight of the
assassin's knee while he choked her
to death.
Ed Maxwell. nineteen years of e,e.
who was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Maxwell when he was seven years old,
was placed under arrest and Is being
held in Jail here pending further in
vestigation.
Young Maxwell is reticent but says
he knows nothing of the affair and
that he will be able to prove an alibi.
The last seen of the Maxwells alive
was Saturday. Yesterday being Christ
mas day, Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt neigh
bors, sent their son to the Maxwell
ranch to take some Christmas pres
ents. On reaching the barn lot the
youth heard the cattle believing and
the horses neighing as though they
had not had food or drink for several
days.
On going to the house he saw no
signs of life about the place and being
frightened hurried home and-notified
his father, who returned with his son.
On entering the house and going TO
the bed room of the aged couple, Mer-
ritt was greeted with the horrifying
spectacle of seeing them both dead in
bed. They were dressed in their night
clothes and at trst it looked as though
the couple had met death peacefully
and it was supposed by Mr.. Merritt
that death had been due to natural
causes.
Word was sent to Coroner Kellogg
at this place, and he, with the sheriff
and other authorities, drove TO the
Maxwell home. and an investigation at
once suggested that death was due 10
foul play.
The bodies We're brought to Lamar
and were placed in charge of a local
undertaken and this afternoon the
autopcv was held. revealing the cause
of death. The inquest was postponed
until next Saturday afternoon in order
to give the authorities more time to
investigate the murder.

Lyceum Theater,

Mystery, sensation and thrills will
reign at the Lyceum theater next week
Mark E. SWANS big melodrama "A
Man of Mystery has been secured for
production by Jessaline Rodgers COM
pany. The play is as sensational AZ
the name. The author has gone Raj
fes" one better and has given a sup
posedly highly honorable and upright
church worker a wonderful power OF
hypnotism. The play is great lesson
in the terrible results which may come
from such power in the hands of q
conscienceless man. The villain, and a
real villain to the core. he is, is the
leading character of the play A love
story in which detective is the lover
