Governor Dickerson, in his paper,

The endorsement of Congressman
George A. Bartlett by the Democrat

structions given the White Pine del

MIR. Bartlett has done effective

entitled to another term during which
he will be able to accomplish a great
deal more than a member of Con-

would be a great mistake to make a
change at this time to a new and un-
tried man in the position when there
is every prospect of electing a Demo

ED BY FIRE
Five Buildings Go Up in
Smok at River
side Town

A fire at Empire last night destroy
ed five buildings in the center of the
town and it is supposed that one
man, plumber by the name of Dave
Bradbury either lost his life in the
fire or else hit the road for other
parts. Bradbury was sleeping in one
of the old buildings and when peo-
pie arrived at the scene his bed was
found on the outside but no trace or
the man could be found. Whether he
reentered the building after taking
out his bed to get something and was
overcome by the smoke or hiked out
of the town is not known.
The buildings destroyed were the
old Virgins dance hall and saloon,
the old butcher shop and blacksmith
shop and several sheds and the old
Sam Longabough general merchan-
dising store. Mr.. Longabauh had
but yesterday taken out his safe ana
a quantity of fixtures from the old
store. having sold it to J. w. Adams
Who purchased it TO obtain the brick
of which the store was built. The
fire entirely cleaned out this build
ing and this morning the walls caved
making the wreck total one. The
Empire postoffice which was next to
the store was also destroyed.
The buildings are all old shacks
that have been unused for some time
and the loss is not heavy. There was
no insurance. The fire is believed 10
have been started by cigarette care
lessly thrown away by the missing
Bradbury.
Bradbury arrived in this city few
days ago and was well appearing
young man. He was looking for work
in the plumbing line and after remain
ing here a couple of days left the city
going to E.lpire.

Sweeney

Yesterday afternoon at few min
utes before five o'clock James G.
Sweeney, Jr., the tewenty-two months
old son of Judge and Mrs. Gas. G
Sweeney sank into the sleep that
knows no waking as a result of Sc
we're burns received on last Tuesday
while playing at his home in this city.
For sometime before the end came
the little fellow had been in a coma
tose condition and it was known that
the angel of death hovered over the
cot whereon the child lay.
While playing with his sister the
child stumbled into a pan of hot wa
ter in the bathroom at the family
home and his left side was lady
scalded. Medical attendance was
called and the attending physicians
gave out hope that the little sufferer
would soon recover from his injuries.
The severe scalding which the child
received, however, proved to much
for his strength and death relieved
his sufferings =
The death of the little child has
cast a gloom over the entire neigh
borhood and on everyside expressions
Of sympathy and regret are heard.

GOOD WORDS
FOR RAWHIDE
Carsonite on Visit Says
Late Strike is a Re-
cord Breaker E

Joe O'Brien was an arrival on last
evenings train from Rawhide where
he Is engaged In the candy business.
Mr.. OBrien has nothing but good
words for the camp and is strictly a
booster.
In speakin of the Camp he had the
following to say:
At the present time things are
rooming in the camp, caused by the
recent strike Of sensational ore ON
the Grutt Collation. property which is
situated within the confines of the
town. The new find was uncovered
on the t06-foot level of the mine and
Is about as sensational a find as has
ever been recorded in the history OF
any OF the camps in the state.
""rhe ledge is al out 90 feet wide
and the high grade streak is about
one inch in width. Assays show val
ues OF about s211 a pound or over
$500. 900 to the ton. This same streak
of high grade was struck on the Mint
lease several days ago and the Co
lation company Immediately began
a search for the high grade in their
property which adjoins the Mint
iease. They found it in place and at
The present time are drifting on the
streak and taking out the high grade
There are about $500 people In
the camp and about 1880 miners
working. The trouble mas been that
these men are working for the com
panics, taking a chance on striking
something and are getting only a
living and clothes for their labor.
Now that the strikes have been made
these men will get their back pay
which will put large amount OF
money in the camp. Money has been
awful scarce In Rawhide, what little
there was there having been lost in
the bank failures.
The camp looks good and I be-
teve has q bright future ahead OF 1t.
The railroad will soon be there and
that will mean great help to the
business men and the mining COM
panies.
Mr.. OBrien Is visiting his parents
in this for a week and will return
70 the camp on Sunday.

suspected with a Greek companion,
to have murdered his wife, Fannie

of Mrs. Snyder.
Carberry testified that Snyder fire.
quently had told him of his domestic
troubles and that he was violently
in love with Miss Grace Craven, his
step daughter, who, by the way, ar
rived here last Sunday in company
with Sheriff Ogg of Kansas.
Snyder has been very attentive to
Miss Craven since her sudden appear

one occupied by her. and persisting
! in his attentions until ordered out of
