SEARCH DESERT FOR
MISSING TEAMSTER

HORNSILVER, New. May Is
Fourteen days ago, Sam Saradori, an
Italian freighter and prospector, left
this camp on foot to hunt for his
horses. Up to this time no trace of
the missing man has been found, and
the supposition is that he met with
an accident and persisted. His part
ner, Tom Kuliacha, has secured the
country hereabouts, and today re-
turned to town utterly discouraged.
He may go to Rhyolite tomorrow AMI
start new search from that point.
Saradori has two lots in Hornsilye..
and intended opening a wood yard.
Four of his horses strayed from hi n
two weeks ago, and he started after
them on foot, going in the direction
OF Bonnie Claire. After a couple of
days his friends grew anxious, AMI
Sseveral small searching parties tried
to track him, but without success.
The missing man is well acquainted
throughout the southern country AMI
is very familiar with all the roads,
paths, trails and water places, so the
most plausible theory is that he met
with some accident off the road and
was unable to make his Whereabouts
known. Should this accident have
happened to him ten days ago the
chances are a thousand to one that
he is dead. He had been teaming
for two months between this place
and Rhyolite, and spoke several laa-
guages.

He says that Los Angeles company
has invested extensively near the

fine body of ore and are getting the
stuff to the surface by means of a

RUFF CASE GONE TO JURY.
Judgee's Dooling Charge Consumed
an Hour and a Half.

SAN FRANCISCO, May l9. The
Ruef case went to the jury at $3.50
tonight after day devoted to the
closing arguments and instructions Of
Judge Dooling. AT late hour the
Jurors were still celebrating without
any apparent prospect of a decision
being reached tonight Attorney
Chapman for Ruef made the closing
argument. He devoted great part
fthe time to a criticism of Rudolph
Spreckles and Heney and claiming the
prosecution was personal on their
part.
Heney who closed for the state gave
much of his time to analyzing the
testimony of Gallagher. eHnery con-
ciuded at E o'clock and the jury went
to dinner. At 8 o'clock Judge Doo-
ling began his charge which consumed
an hour and half in delivery. Very
few look for a decision tonight nor a
report before late tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, May 10. = The
taking Of evidence was not concluded
BY the committee investigating the
print paper question today and will
be resumed tomorrow A number of
independent manufacturers testified
today and a great deal of statistical
evidence was submitted. Census Di-
rector North was the first witness to-
day and appeared to reply to letter
sent by Herman Ridder, president Of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association to President Roosevelt
and simultaneously given to the press.
The letter accused the director of the
census with having issued false and
misleading series of figures regarding
the print paper prices. North said his
figures were taken from the paper
trade journal. He declared Ridder
ignored parts of his letter and was of
the opinion that his figures represent
ed more accurately than did Ridder's
prices paid in the open market.
