PRISONER KILLED BY MOB
Man Accused of Murder Resists and
is shot Dead in Cen I'm
Tennessee.

KINGSTON, Tenn, Oct. 30.-A mob OF
about thirty masked men attacked the
Roane county jail early today and killed
George Cook charged with the murder of
John King, a ferryman. The identity OF
none of the mob is known. 1t is presumed
the men intended to hang Cook, as they
had a rope in their possession. However.
when his cell was reached he offered re-
sistance and produced a razor with which
he cut one OF the men in the mob. This II
appears, enraged the invaders, and Cook
was quickly shot dead. Governor Patterson
will be asked to offer a reward for the
apprehension OF the members Of the mob.
Previous to the time he killed King, Cook
was under a similar charge IN Chattanooga,
where he was arrested after escaping from
this county following the KING crime

THE VICTIM
OF A BOROUGH"

Our evening contemporary of
Thursday published an article which
was a pitiful attempt at sarcastic hui
NOR, in which was related, in effect,
that l. c. branson had brought suit
in Judge Brissell's court against
Geo. Edgar Jackson, for the payment
of bill of $61.25. The Sun init
mates that Mr. Jackson was a
martyr inasmuch as his stress of duty
as chairman of the Republican
county central committee prevented
him from attending to his own bus
mess, with the suit as a result
A Bonanza writer asked Mr..
Jackson about the matter last night
and received the following reply:
Yes, suit has been filed against
me in Judge Brissells court. The
bill for which | am being sued is not
a personal bill at all, but is for the
publishing of two notices relating to
the probate of an estate, a few
months back. According to custo-
mary legal usage, such notices are

paid for by the client through his at
torney, and supposed that such was
the procedure in this case. Some
days ago branson came to me for the
bill. 1 explained the matter to him
and told him / was going to Gold
field the next day and would try and
see my client. He had left town and
when branson came around again
told him / had written to my client
and that if he did not send the
money by next Monday l would pay
it personally. Today Attorney
Scheld came around for the money;
demanded it, Notwithstanding what
I had told branson, and then filed
suit against ME, as l told him
would not pay it before the time j
had set.
The only reason l can advance
for the action of branson is that he
is sore because as chairman of the
Republican county central commit
tee | have spent no campaign money
in his office"

VOTERS MUST
MAKE Use Of
RUBBER STAMP

The necessity of using the rubber
stamp X when marking the ballot at
election, instead of pencil, was
plainly manifested last Saturday at
the special city election in Reno,
when more than ten ballots were re-
jected because the stamp was not
used.
The law requires that the election
board shall furnish such stamp and
that ballot shall not be counted I'M
less the marking of the same shall
have been done by means of that
rubber stamp.
This is simple procedure and one
that readily may be performed by
every voter Every ballot must be
perfectly regular as far as the stamp
is concerned.
AS has been demonstrated, this is
an important matter which should be
remembered by voters at the ap-
preaching election. Don't fail to use
the rubber stamp X.

MINER HAD
A LONG run
HARD LUCK

To tramp all the way from Colo
RADIO to Nevada in search of job
and, after securing a position in a
mine, to be blown up after only
working one shift and part of an
other is pretty hard luck, but that is
what happened to R. A. w. Davis, a
union miner about 81 years of age.
Davis is now in Reno, penniless and
physically disabled. Davis states
that after being unable to find job
in Colorado, he tramped to Nevada
and entered the camp of Chafey At
Chafey he was given a position and
worked an entire shift without acct
dent. The second shift he drove a
drill into a missed shot and was
blown from the shaft. He was
wounded and bruised by the explo-
sion and rendered unconscious, but
soon recovered his senses and was
taken to the cabin of friend There
he was given surgical attention and
later sent to Reno by his friends that
he might secure better care.

TAFT HAS NEARLY
100000 PLURALITY
Hughes Majority in New York
State About 10000.

New York, Nov. 1.-The pluralities
Of Taft for president and Hughes for
governor in New York state have not
been materially changed by more
complete returns. With eighty out of
1869 districts missing, Taft's plurality
has been raised to 199,5S5, an increase
of about 1900 from the earlier esti-
mate, and with ninaty-seven districts
missing and thirty-five estimated
Hughes plurality for governor has
been reduced to 69,S19.
Late returns leave no doubt upon
the election of the full Republican
state ticket by substantial pluralities
all along the line.
While Taft carried New York city
ty a plurality of over $4,000 Chanler
carried the city by about $4,000 and
Tamnany Hall put in Office all of its
important local candidates.

UBSCRlPTION-..$5.00 PER ANNUM
THE EDITORS RELIGION.

The editor never talks his religion
on the street corner, but in the
dim little den, called a sanctum in
touching Latin recollection, he prays
for the souls of those who do i'll to
their brothers through his types.
I do not know why editors are so
seldom church members, unless like
other mortals longing for heaven,
they have wives good enough for
two.
The editor is sometimes repre-
sented with his shirt open, his hair
dishelved and his feet rudely adorn-
ing the corner of the office desk.
Huge clouds of tobacco smoke are
pictured about his head. Yet with
a stout blackened pipe stem clenched
between his teeth he may be writing
some sweet, fowery puff of women's
missionary tea, or laying the last fair
wreath of words on the casket of a
little child.
The golden rule is but seldom seen
on newspaper publishers walls, but
you will generally find it in the old
mans heart, where the holy law
says it should be indeed. Some
editors look too often on the whiskey
bottle, to find surcease from
the bitterness of the world. This
error is not to be condoned with
polish diction, but this can be said,
the imbibing editor is seldom hypo-
critic about his cups, as are some
who make vaster profession than he.
In a word, what trihes Of religion
the editor may possess he lives out,
day by day, fondly hoping that from
his dusty, dingy workroom he will
finally journey to the New Jerusalem,
where all is joy and peace and good
fellowship, and where delinquent
subscribers may not break through
and steel the heavenly mama from
the cherub fingers of his children.

BRYAN GETS HOME STATE

precinct, William j. Bryan reversed a
majority of 1900 in this CITY, carrying

some plurality and will win the state
by 10000. His vote was unprece-
denied, Lancaster being counted the
banner Republican stronghold Of the
state
George L. Sheldon was defeated for
governor by 5000, Ashton c. Shallen-
berger, Democrat, running slightly
ahead of Bryan.
Republicans are claiming the legis-
lature by slender majorities. In the

lard encountered the Bryan wave and
his election is in doubt. He lost heav-
lily throughout the district and Demo
