Slabs Her Old Lover

Failing TO secure a conviction for
her fomer lover, Mart OBrien, "Gold
Tooth Bess' Carpenter attempted to
murder him by stabbing him with a
pair of scissors as he left the court room
at Goldfield Friday. O'Brien shot the
Carpenter woman several months ago
at Rawhide during one of their rows
and the woman appeared against the
man in the district court and attempted
to secure his conviction for the crime.
Failing to succeed she attacked O'Brien
us he was being led from the courtroom,
with pair of scissors, attempting to
stab out his eyes. She struck the man
on the cheek and then the frenzied
woman was disarmed by deputy sheriffs.
The woman was in this city recently
and attracted considerable attention by
appearing on G. street in Il spangled
dress,
The woman. during the first trial,
gave testimony greatly in the defend
ants favor but she changed her opinion
of the accused man and gave damaging
testimony against him at the second
trial. She stated when cross examined
that she sometimes loves him and some
times hates him, and that she is unable
to control her feeling in regard to him.

Decentralization OF GOLD

The paper money advocates are al
ready starting their campaign for asset
currency. On May 10 papers all over
the United States received an article
written by Walter Wellman, boosting
for it. Of course, we do not know who
are paying the bills, but it is safe to as
sumo that it is the same interests
namely, the large banking concerns
which have been trying to demOnetize
the metals for years. The first step was
to demonetize silver under cover of a
gold standard. Now, the true objective
is seen, they would demonetize gold and
bury it in a paper coffin. Asset cur
rency means the demonstration of both
gold and silver. The purchasing power
of gold will be just what the managers
of the paper money factory decree
Are our Eastern brethren never to
learn that Wall street is not the whole
United States; that what may he good
for Wall street may hurt some Western
state very materially? First, they de-
monetize silver; then they plaster forest
reserves all over our mining regions;
now they demonetize gold and with
draw the entire public domain from
entry. 1t is uncomfortable that fellow
Americans would work such hardships
on the youngest and weakest of the
brotherhood of states, if they only knew
the harm they We're doing. It is the
duty of all who know the facts to shout
them from the house tops, that the
Fastener may, for once in his life, take

Oil on the Muddy

Along the roadside near Logan stands
the portable engine, with broken axle,
that should be drilling for oil. The &C
cident delayed operations, which will
resume after the hot summer is over.
Mr.. Culbertson from Pennsylvania has
charge of the outfit and is now doing
assessment work atseveral points on the
Muddy, Virgin and Colorado rivers,
where indications of oil exist. New
parts to replace the broken axle are at
the Moapa station and drilling will be-
gin at Logan in October.
Salt, gypsum, fossils and oil usually
travel together, and therefore the
chances are good on the Muddy. Pros
pect holes and rocks in this territory
bear a strong odor of OIL and there is
every reason to believe the drill will
find it in quantity.
Oil in the Muddy river valley would
mean cheap fuel and factories; lessen
the cost of railroad operation and build
up large towns and enrich the farmers
from Moapa to st. Thomas. At present
the Salt Lake railroad spends fortune
every month freighting oil over the line
for locomotives. An oil discovery on
the Muddy would make great BOOM

A housebreaker named Smith was
hanged at Tyburn in 1705. A reprieve
came when he had been suspended q
quarter of an hour. He was cut down
bled and revived. William Duell, hang
ed in London in 174O, revived and was
transported. A man hanged in Cork
in 1765 was taken in hand by a physi-
clan who brought him round in six
hours, and we are told the fellow had
the nerve to attend theatrical per-
Torrance the same evening.
. Richard johnson, hanged at Shrews-
bury, Oct 8, 1895, obtained q promise
from an undersheriff to place him in
the coffin without changing his clothes.
After hanging half an hour he still
showed signs of life, and on examina-
ton it was found he had wrapped
cords about his body connected with
hooks at the neck which prevented
the rope from doing it's work. The
apparatus was removed and the man
hanged effectually.

st. Paul, Aug. 15.-Only a brief re-
port was received at the Office of Sec
ond Vice President Levy of the Nor
thern Pacific today concerning the
holdup of the west bound Northern
Pacific passenger train east of Spo-
kane at 10:4O O'clock last night. The
report says that the robbers boarded
the train at Rathdrum and hid them
selves about the engine. After the
train had gone short distance the
engine crew discovered the men and
attempted to put them of. The
bandits covered the crew with guns
and forced them to disconnect the
engine and mail car from the rest of
the train. The enginemen were then
compelled to run the engine and mail
Car safe distance away from the
train. After this had been accom-
plished the bandits proceeded to rob
the mail car. The report does not saw
now much booty the robbers secured.
No one was injured.
Ihe@pRrty came on west to Trent
where the trainmen were dismissed
by the robbers. The bandits then pro-
ceeded to within mile of Yardly.
where they proceeded to rob the mail
car. The baggage car and express
car were untouched and none of the
passengers were molested. AS soon
as word was received in Spokane, a
special train was made up consisting
of a switch engine and coach and.
with several deputy sheriffs and
special agents of the Northern acific
aboard. was rushed to Trenton.

mad hitherto shared between them,

his physical condition compelled him
to give up most Of his evangelical en-

came also q nervous breakdown. Aft
