GOVERNOR OF NEVADA
CALLS LEGISLATURE.
IN REPLY TO REQUEST OF PREsl.
DENT ROOSEVELT FOR
ACTION.

Reno, New, Dec. 30.-A special ses-
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 Nevadas governor that such ac-
| ton must be taken or troops now at
Goldtield would be removed Notifica-
ton of the decision to assemble the
legislature has been transmitted, Gov
ernor Sparks says, to Washington
GoIdfield Is Assured Peace.
Goldfield, 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,
period and all fear of any serious dis
turbance growing out Of the dispute
has vanished, 1t is not at all certain
that the legislature will act in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of Governor
Sparks, but the calling of the special
session will have the effect of keeping
federal troops in Goldield for several
weeks and will make the possibility of
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
board of arbitration to attempt a settle
ment of the strike. George Wingfield,
prominent as member of the mine
owners association, is a member OF the
grand jury. The governor will give at
least 10 days notice of the converting
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 working
contrary to Sparks interests.

is 1T DUKE, DRucE OR DUMMY
Grave is Disturbed to Solve Myster,
of London,

Grave is Disturbed to Solve Mystery
of London.
Loadon.-The work of opening the
grave of Thomas Charles bruce In
Highgate cemetery to determine prl-
marily whether the coffin contains the
body of a man or, as has been asserted,
a roll of sheet lead weighing some 200
pounds, was begun today. Incidentally
the clearing up of this mystery will
help materially the progress Of the
famous Druce case.
The three-ton monument which
marks the resting place of the bruce
family was removed by a score of
workmen, who were protected from
public observation by a shed which
had been erected around the burial
plot Within the shed electric lights
were installed. SO 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 bruce?
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 2S
1864, and that he saw the dead bodv
placed il a coffin and buried in High
gate cemetery. His nephew, George
Holldndby bruce, declares that this
must be untrue, because c. r. Druca
was in fact the fifth duke of Portland,
who lived until 1879. That being 81
George Hollandby bruce claims that
he himself, being the senior descend
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 $1,500,0O0 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 Hollandby
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 i'll Highgate cemetery. The
feature were unacceptable, 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 Druces son by second
marriage, who said he saw his father
in the coffin 10 years before the fifth
duke of Portland died, falls to the
ground.

POSSE SHOT TWO ROBBERS
Desperate Battle With Three
Cracksmen in New Jersey.
Lad Blown Open Safes iii Two Post
Offices in Gloucester County and
Set Building Aiire.

Woodbury., n. J. After blowing
open the safes in the postoffices at Pc
dricktown and Bridgeport three yegg-
men engaged in a hot battle with a
posse of twenty-five or thirty resi-
dents of Gloucester County in a
clump OF woods few miles away.
After the robberies they stole team
from livery stable and started off.
At o'clock a. m. they were seen en-
tering Woodbury. and Policeman Mer-
chant opened fire and wounded one
of them. The robbers then left their
team and took refuge in the woods
near Sewell. They were armed with
have plenty of ammunition.
Merchant alarmed the authorities,
who quickly organized posse, which
surrounded the men, Seeing that
capture was imminent, the yeggmen
fed to barn. The farmers gathered
in a nearby cornfield and exchanged
shots with them. Then the men made
dash toward Woodbury..
Opposite the water works the posse
closed in on them, and after hand
to hand fight succeeded in capturing
two. The third man got away.
One of the captured men was shot
in the groin and to DR.. Stout, who
treated him, he said that he was Will
lam Mccoy, thirty-eight years old,
and had no home. He had S134 in
his pockets and a IA calibre revol-
yer, empty. He was committed to
prison without bail.
The other prisoner said he was
John Burns, seventeen years old. He
was wounded in the face and body
with buckshot. In a tobacco bag tied
around his neck was $57 in bills and
in his pockets 500 in bills and S1.37
in change, together with IA calibre
revolver. Burns before being cap
tured threw a bottle of nitro glycer-
inc at his captors. 1t did not explode.
A few minutes after midnight the
men made their appearance in Pc
dricktown, about twenty miles below
Woodbury.. They went to the livery
stable of ]. B. Cavents, forced an
entrance and stole a team. Then
they went to the postoffice. The safe
was blown open and $3.50 in stamps
and money taken.
Inc IOTce Oh Jne explosion was SO
great that it wrecked the entire post
Office and set fire to the building. The
robbers fed with the stolen team. In
a very few minutes the entire popula-
ton of Pedricktown was in the street
in front of the postofTice. The volun-
teer firemen got to work on the blaze,
but before they extinguisheG it $4,000
damage was done.
At 2 o'clock the yeggmen reached
the Bridgeport postoffice. The family
of William Brown lives over the post
Office, but this did not deter the rob-
bers from forcing entrance and in
sorting charge of nitro glycerine in
the safe sufficient to almost wreck the
building. Brown armed himself with
a revolver and rushed down stairs,
and when he went into the postoffice
he ran against the barrels of three re-
volvers. He was told to retreat I'M
der the threat of death, and did so.
The robbers then packed up 5000
worth of stamps and taking $50 in
money made off in the direction of
Woodbury., near where the fight and
capture took place.
