Joe discovered him just as he slid out OF

grabbed the whip at this time and gave
the light-fngered artist good drubbing.

Now it seems that charges have

Kibbey at Washington, to prevent
his confirmation by the Senate,
that 90 way back to the time he
sat on the bench, twenty years
ago. For a grave breach of de-
corum he read the riot act from
the bench to Frank Heney. Later
he relented, and then he erased
from the minute record the entry
of his judicial censure. The prop
er procedure would have been to
have directed entry OF another or

censure passed; and then to have
written in the margin of the entry
in question the statement that it
had been expunged by a later or

TO FRAME NEW MINING LAWS.
Arizona and Sonora Mining Men to
Lead Movement for Revision OF
Legislation.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. S.-Impelled
by the pressing need that exists for
a complete revision Of the laws
covering metalliferous mining, the
American Mining Congress Is ar
ranging to present forcibly to
the Federal Congress at its next
session a year hence, the de-
mands of western mining men for
the amendment of the old, and the
passage of new statutes regulating
mining. This will be one of the
principal themes to be discussed at
next annual session of the Congress
to be held at Gold6eld. New, next
fall, and the mining men of Ari-
iona and Sonora who comprise the
Arizona-Sonora branch of the Min
ing Congress, will, in conjunction
with the other branches, frame a
new mini ng code. This will b.
done by eliminating so far as pos
sible the undesirable features of
the present United States, Mexican
and British Columbia laws, and in
cooperating all that is good into
this new code. The united recon-
mendation OF these subsidiary or
CARNATIONS will be presented to the
Mining Congress It IT. n~xt session.
From there, the lAalcr will be
taken direct to the Congle ss OF the
United States.
The agitation in mining circles
at present favors the elimination Of
the law Of the apex, which is pro-
life source Of litigation, aud has
been the cause of much loss in
mining. A satisfactory solution OF
this question alone will have a de-
cidedly whole, o ne effect upon in
vesting classes, and it will make
capital for western mining enter.
prises more easily secured. 1t has
always been the aim of the Min
ing Congress to attract capital for
western mining enterprises, by
eliminating, SO far AS possible, the
Objectionable features from the
industry.
Arizona has attracted wide at
tention to her course with regard
to the law of the apex, and the
freedom OF her big companies from
law suits, particularly where they
have common side and end lines,
is the cause OF admiration.
In other points, as in the case of
the vexatious apex, Arizona is ex-
pected to set the pace for other
mining districts, and tn. attempt
of her mining men to draw up suit
able laws for all sections will be
watched with intense interest.

Ask RECEIVER FOR
MINING COMPANY
Boston Creditor Alleges That Mines
Are UnprOductive and Machinery
is Practically Worthless.

HELENA April 5.--A suit has been
instituted in the federal court here
by E. w. Beattie of Boston, Mass, for
the appointment Of receiver for the
Bald Butte Mining company, and the
settlement of financial affairs. The
complaint alleges that the defendant
is indebted to Beattie in the sum OF
2O,145, the basis being two promis-
sorry notes executed by the company
in favor of the Massachusetts man. 1t
is alleged in the complaint that the
mines of the company are unproduc-
tive, it's mill and machinery practi-
cally worthless, and that the proper
ties cannot be operated at a profit
without further exploration and deve-
lopment. The company is in debt to
others says the complaint, and it is
alleged that the sale of the entire prop
erty will be necessary to meet the
claims of creditors.

United States Supreme Court Orders
Discharge Of Men Who Killed
Federal Special Agent.
STATE COURT ACQUITS
Held That Men Cannot Be Placed
Twice in Jeopardy for the Same Of
fense-ShOt Down Man at Mouth of
Colorado Coal Mine.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The su-
preme court of the United States to-
day affirmed the decision of the United
States district court for the district of
Colorado in the cases of VIM. R. Ma
son and Jos. Vanderweide, who were
charged with the murder in 1907, of
Jos. A. Walker, special agent of the
department of justice, while in the
discharge of his duty.
Walker was killed by Venderweide
while standing guard at the mouth of
a coal mine in La Plata county, Colo
RADIO, and he and Mason, who was
with him at the time of the shooting,
pleaded self-defense. When the case
came to trial in the state courts of
La Plata county they were discharged.
Afterwards Vanderweide and Ma
son were indicted by the federal grand
jury but the state proceedings were
held by the federal district court to
be bar against further process, and
the two men were again discharged.
From the order making this discharge
the government appealed to the su-
preme court of tie United States with
the result that the order was sustain
ed. The courts decision was an
nounced by Justice Harlan.

Central American Republic Finally
Betrays Signs of Coming

CONCESSION CANCELLED
Patience of State Department Nearly

President Zelayas in FOrbidding
American Co. to Cut Mahogany.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Secretary
Knox was given to understand today
by Minister Espinoza of Nicaragua
that the Nicaraguan government
would make an early effort to settle
either by compromise or by arbitra-
ton the claim for damages of the G.

for cutting mahogany was cancelled.

a special commission would leave i'm

instructions for the minister which
would empower him to reach settle
ment. If compromise is not reached,
the minister will sign protocol sub
mitting it's efforts to settle the case

becoming intolerable.

Apparently one of the quietest cam
paigns, the city election just passed
was as warmly fought under the sur
face as any which has taken place
for years. The friends of the various
candidates worked under cover with
more vigor than if the fight had been
carried on with a great deal of pub
licity.
Naturally most of the public interest
centered in the race for the mayor
atty in which II. ]. Thompson, the Re-
publican candidate was supported by
by his party, and his opponent George
Bennington, ran on the Independent
ticket. His backing came openly from
the Democratic warehouses;.
The independent vote, however, was
an exceedingly large one, being di-
Vided into two general camps, those
favoring local option and those op-
posed to it. In fact the local option
question cut fully as much figure as
party politics.
During the counting Of the votes,
there was much doubt over the result
of the race for mayor. The Third
ward vote was finished first giving
Thompson a majority or IA; but i'm
mediately afterward the result came
in from the Fourth ward, where Ben
n1nghof received majority of 67,
leaving Thompson but seven ahead.
In the First ward, where Thompson
showed a considerable vantage at the
first, his lead was rapidly cut down
but the later count and reports from
the Second ward showed Thompson
and Bennighoff running nearly even,
apparently making the result much in
doubt.
The final count in the Second ward
returned Thompson majority of 33,
however, and toward the finish of the
count in the Second ward he gained
heavily, finishing Sc ahead, his major
ity over Bennighoff in the entire city
being SO.
Anxiety over the results of the al
dermanic vote was early removed, the
first so votes forecasting the success
of the four Republican candidates, all
of whom led at the finish by COM
Portable pluralities, in fact in all but
the Fourth ward having a majority of
votes.
The sensation of the day proved to
be the heavy Socialistic vote, consid-
ering the estimated strength of the
followers of Debs in the city. In the
First and Second wards, however, the
Socialistic candidates received the
strength of the opposition OF the Re-
publican ticket, there being no other
opposition ticket. The total Social
istic vote in the four wards was 226.

MRS. SAMPSON SAYS
SHE IS INNOCENT
Alleged Slayer of Nephew of Admiral,
is Confident That She viii Be
Acquitted of Charge.

LYONS, N. Y, April 5.-Calmly as
serting her innocence and believing in
her ultimate acquittal Mrs. Georgia
Allyn Sampson was placed on trial
today before Justice A. T. Rich, of the
supreme court on a charge of shooting
and killing her husband, Harry Samp-
son, a nephew of Admiral Sampson, at
the Allyn homestead near Macedonia,
N. Y, on November /, 1908.
Harry Sampson was shot following
a quarrel with his twife over a letter
she had received from a young man
in Rochester. The state contended
that Mrs. Sampson killed her husband
with rifle which was found in the
pantry, re-cocked and left the dis
charged shell half elected.
From the states witness the defense
possibly will seek to show that Mrs.
Sampson was not down stairs when
the shooting took place, but on the
second floor.
A jury apparently satisfactory to
both sides was chosen. The state will
present it's case tomorrow after which
testimony will be introduced.
