''The Rawhide mining stock ex-

WILD Scene ON
LONDON EXCHANGE

LONDON, Sept. THE London
stock exchange was thrown into "a
panic just before the close of bust
ness today by the sudden entrance Of
man who drew revolver and fired
three shots among the brokers. The
bullets whizzed through the middle
of the exchange, but no one was
hit.
Members stampeded in all direc-
tions and panic prevailed until two
walters seized the intruder. He was
handed over to the police and will be
held pending an Investigation into
his mental condition.
After the shots were fired the
scene on the exchange was one of
wild confusion. AS members rushed
for the exists, several were crushed,
gut none was seriously hurt. The
disturber fortunately aimed high and
his shots went over the heads of the
brokers, all of whom ducked at the
first report.
The incident utterly disorganized
what was left of the days business,
for members instead Of re-entering
the exchange stood on the street dis
cussing the affair.
Investigation this afternoon
shows that the man held by the POI
lice is an engineer from Rugby,
named Albert Harrison. When he
was searched at the police station
revolver and two boxes of cartridges
were found upon him.

BUSINESS ON THE.
DYING EMBERS
RAWHIDE STOCK EXCHANGE
GETS BUSY WHILE FIRE is
DYING OUT.

RAWHIDE, Sept 5.-The first
session of the Rawhide mining stock
exchange was held last night in the
office of the Nevada hotel, the one
hotel in the business section which
was saved from the flames The ex-
change had just been incorporated
and negotiations were under way for
the purchase of a building, when the
building was removed by the fire. On
the ruins of Rawhfde the stock ex-
change was the first to start into
business under the new regime.
The meeting was called to order
by President Joseph S. Jordan, who
felicitated the people of Rawhide on
the courage they had =1own under
the greatest calamity which had yet
befallen them, and predicted for
them a greater camp than had ever
been dreamed.
Our town has been destroyed by
the fire." said Mr.. Jordan, land this
seems to be the browning calamity of
succession of untoward events with
which we have been assailed. Our
camp has been knocked from one
end of the country to the other, but
the mines have beaten back the
knockers into their corners covered
with shame. We have been visited
by two epidemics, and the word has
gone out of the camp that we were
dying by the hundreds. We have
been obliged to struggle for our own
through one of the greatest panics
that the country has ever known. We
kept our mines going through it all
and we imagined that we had passed
through the worst
Then our two banks failed and
the money of the people was burned
up. 1t was the unanimous conclu.
sion of Rawhide that the only thine
that could now befall us was tota
extinction by fire. This morning the
fire came and wiped out the business
section, and tonight. with the ruins

sociation Summoned.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Expression of un-
equivocal opposition to the Aldrich
bill and formulation of a compromise
currency measure to be presented to
congress will, it is prophesied, be the
results of a meeting of the currency
commission of the American Bankers
association, which has just been
called to meet Saturday in the Com
mercial National bank In this city.
The commission, composed of fif-
teen members from widely scattered
parts of the United States, is a very
representative one of the banking In
terests of the country. The two Chi
cago members are James B. Forgan,
president of the First National bank,
and Joseph T. Talbert, first vice pres
ident of the Commercial National
bank. II was originally intended to
hold the meeting early in December.
1t was finally considered best, how.
ever, to postpone the discussion OF
the currency problem until normal
basis had been reached In financial
affairs. Chairman A. B. Hepburn OF
New York accordingly called the
meeting by wire.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The case of Mrs

at Banker John r. Walsh's attorney,

from whom she is said to have been
the work of the same church there in
which Mr.. Hamill was prominent
member. She had since at different
times called on lawyers here with a
view to bringing legal 5ction against
Attorney Hamill for alleged wrongs
which she claimed to have suffered at
his hands. AS in the case of Senator
Brown, who had travelled from his
home city, Salt Lake City, to Wash

and was shot by Mrs. Bradley, who
had followed him from Salt Lake,
Mrs. Metcalf is said to have followed
Hamill across the continent. Mrs.
Metcalf is a native of Denver. From
that city she is said to have trailed
