THE FAKE BURIAL STORY
PROVED TO Be FALSE

London The body of Thomas

terry was exhumed Monday morning,
Just forty-three years TO day after
It's burial. The coffin was found to
contain tho remains OF a human body,
thus exploding the romantic tale told
by Robert C. Caldwell and others who
swore during the recent hearing OF
the bruce perjury case that 1t con-
tanned q roll of lead.
The bruce vault has thus given up
Its secret after ten years of legal pro-
cecdings which have cost, ali told, a
considerable fortune. A large part of
this money was obtained from servant

duced to buy shares In a company.

estate OF the Duke OF Portland.
The charge OF perjury against Her

30 far as the public Is concerned,
the entire long drawn out bruce Duke

and the case OF the claimant, George
Hollamby bruce. has fallen to the

Despite the finding OF the body.
George III bruce says that he Is deter.

In substance the story OF Robert |

witness In the so-called bruce case led |
TO the opening of the grave, and upon |
which the claim OF the bruce heirs for
the great fortune and the title of the |
Duke OF Portland was based, was to
the effect that the Duke OF Portland |
and 7. G. bruce. London store

SPARKS MAY CALL
AN EXTRA SESSION
Nevada Legislature Will be Asked
to Adopt Law Creating State
Rangers for Police Duty
Mine Owners Seek Federal Injunc-
ton to Prevent Picketing In Gold
field and Desire a Dissolution
Of the Miners Union.

Goldfield, MISUNDERSTANDING OF
Goldfield are expecting to hear at any
moment that Governor Sparks has de.
cided to call an extra session of the
legislature to adopt new laws looking
to the organization Of body of state
rangers or police to preserve law
and order in case of trouble over the
outcome of the dispute which now
threatens to be long-drawn out.
Should the extra session be called
and laws passed permitting the or
ganization of state militia, or police
force, the men, it is claimed, would
be sent to Goldfield as soon as pos
sible, and kept there on police duty
until the present conflict between
the mine owners and the miners has
been settled
On Thursday the officials Of the
miners union and c. E. Mahoney.
vice president of the Western FEEDER
alton, who Is here to effect a settle
ment of the strike, learned OF the plan
OF the mine owners of Goldfield to
obtain an Injunction through the fed.
eral courts preventing picketing and
bringing about the dissolution of the
Goldfield miners union
Mahoney, speaking of this latest
move OF the mine owners, said: IAN
Injunction of this kind, If issued, will
mean that there is nothing left for
the miners to do but to jump into
the sea. Had the petition been for
writ restraining the miners from
picketing or boycotting, | would not
have been surprised. In the bill of
complaint, however, as | understand
1t, there are two new points One,
the prayer for an order of the fed
eral court prohibiting the miners
from continuing their organization on
the ground that it is nuisance; the
other point that Is new is that Gold
field miners union be dissolved. Any
Judge and set of men who fancy that
the Goldfield miners will tamely sub
NIT to such procedure, are greatly
mistaken. | would favor ignoring
any such order from any court in ex-
istence. Injunctions have come to be
a mere joke to the American people.
and this one would be the biggest
joke of all. We shall fight 1t with
every weapon at our disposal There
would be nothing else for us to do"
