'harles Smith, Negro Found Guilty Of Manslaughte1
in the Circuit Court Here Yesterday Said the
''White Folks Jury Would Acqut Him He Fig

Accept Liberal Offer of Prosecutor

Although Prosecuting Attorney w.

guilty and a sentence of one year in
his case and his attorney, w. b. Sor-
rells, had urged him to accept the Of
fer, Charles Smith, a negro charged
with murder in the first degree, in
sisted upon leaving the matter with
"the white folks jury" and he was
yesterday found guilty and his punish
ment fixed at five years in the state
penitentiary
The jury was out about an hour
when it finally returned a verdict Of
guilty. Prosecuting Attorney Jones
was willing for the negro to enter a
plea of guilty to charge of man
slaughter and accept one year impris-
onment for the defendant, rather than
go ITO the expense of trying the case
Attorney Sorrells, who was appointed
by the court to represent the negro,
told him that he thought he had a
weak defense and that he believed he
would do better by pleading guilty and
accepting the year in the pen. The
negro was obstinate, however, and in
sisted that he was sure of acquittal
when 1.-THE white folks jury" heard

CHEAPER COAL FOR
THE ELY DISTRICT
THE QUINN MINES

Announcement that the George e.
Gum coal properties in wyoming
will begin shipping in a few days,
carries considerable local interest
This coal is destined to come to Ely
district in large quantities and the
expectation of Mr.. Gum is that IT
will be possible to put IT down here,
at less cost than coal has previously
been delivered here. OF the prop
erty and its readiness to ship the
Salt Lake Tribune contains the fol-
lowing;
On Thursday the last payment ow-
ing from the Gunn-Quealy Coal Co.
to the former owners of the coal
lands in Wyoming was made. and
the title to the land in question pass
ed absolutely to the Gunn-Quealy Co.
Following this payment, which called
for a round sum. was the announce
ment by Mr.. Gum that the company
would begin next Sunday the pleas
ant task of sending out coal to the
market The company will ship to
the American Smelling and Refining
Co. and 5000 tons of coal daily Will
be the initial output.
The history of the Gunn-Quealy
Coal Co. illustrates what can be done
by men of large affairs In spite of
the financial panic that has been
swapping the country. At time
when all the money was being hoard
ed away the Gunn-Quealy Co. kept
spending it. meeting each payment
for the property as II came due. and
equipping the property in every way
f., nett
has been nothing but expenditure.
and everything proceeded smoothly
with the organization despite finan-
cial conditions.
An idea of what has been done at
the property, the little city being
now called Gum in honor of George
+. Gum, can be had from the fact
that four and half miles of railroad
track had to be constructed by the
company before the most of the
equipping task could he commenced.
The city of Gum has been built
along most modern lines. and the 600
acres of territory within the COM
pany's lines have been treated to a
very extensive campaign of develop
ment work. The company Installed
hosting equipment capable of
bringing TO the surface over 1000
tons of coal daily, and the ultimate
capacity of production will be above
3 900 tons daily. The property has
one of the great deposits of coal in
that section. the quantity being typi-
cal of the Wyoming coal. The era
of production has started. and local
stockholders feel that their efforts
during the past year have not been
in vain

MARKET MANIPULATION
IS BRINGING ABOUT
DESIRABLE RESULT

Yesterday was another day of un-
eertainties in the general list though
the coppers Jared satisfactorily. The
market was dominated by the big
buyers. who worked rapidly. as they
have during the last three days, from
one stock to another, quickly picking
up all the good ones that came out at
decline in prices. This bargain hunt
ing and taking has been an unusual
feature of the trading in its extent
and force. II has uncovered, also,
all of the weak ones and before its
conclusion will have cleared the mar
ket bottom of barnaeles. The result
will be exceedingly favorable to re-
newal of advance 10 higher levels. in
a firm solid way. Those stocks which
have shown the least effect from the
cleaning up methods that have been
in vogue will naturally stand in po-
sition to profit the quickest when the
turn in the tide comes Cumberland
Ely is particularly strong from this
standpoint. II has suffered less than
nearly any other copper in the last
three days. Nevada Consolidated is
also in good position and these two
stocks, II would appear, may be look
ed to confidently for early and sub
stantial improvement Yesterdays

influential capitalists credited with
the conduct of the campaign, were
open sellers of stocks today, but only
with the result of arousing suspicion
of ruse, and so adding to the con-
fusion of the spectators.
Little attention was paid to events
bearing on outside affairs, and none
was reported of great Importance.
United States Steel was almost i'm
movable most of the day. and took
no share in the feverish fluctuations
in other quarters of the list. The
action OF the stock fosters the belief
that stability of it's quotation In the
market is as much sought by its spon-
sors as prices of the product by of
ficials of the corporation. The Gould
stocks still held a prominent place
for rising prices, even while the rest
of the list was reactionary. The as
sertion persisted that a practical al
lance had been formed between
Gould and Hartman railroad inter
ests and financial backing for the al
lance from the Rockefellers. \ sud
den turn from the downward course
of American Smelling was due to a
new view of the dividend outlook, of
which positive predictions nave been
current lately that the rate would be
reduced or passed at the next meet
ing The declaration of the regular
dividend for National Lead gave
force to the denials OF intended re-
duction of the American Smelling
dividend
Some expressed uneasiness over
crop conditions was heard Whine
prices were declining, The rally in
effect when the market closed was
more decisive than any OF the other

the day. Union Pacifie's marked SEN

the trial just closed was the offer of
a bribe of $1,000 TO former Super
visor Jennings Phillips TO influence
his vote favorably upon an electric
railroad franchise. The july stood
six TO six upon the first ballot, and
remained so without a change during
the Is ballots taken.
1t was learned that the question
upon which the jury split was the
credibiity of the witnesses. Four
teen members of the so-called hood
ling board" of supervisors of the
Schmitz administration testified to
the offer of brides, their Willingness
to receive the same and their actual
acceptance of money in some of the
other cases against Ruef. Six of the
jurors, il is said, considered the su-
pervisors as 'accompliees" who had
been granted immunity by the prose-
cution. and contended throughout the
deliberations of the jury that as such
their uncorroborated testimony was
not entitled to credence. There still
remain Ill indictments pending
against Ruef.
