Meets Death
in Careless
Moment

H. h. AGREE, switchman in the
Copper Flat yards was run over by
dinky engine yesterday morning
with result of death in less than an
hour. One arm and both legs were
severed from the body.
AGREE came to Ely a couple of
months ago with Willard. the man of
mystery and acted as an assistant
at the different performances given
In the district. The show from
financial standpoint was "A failure,
the result being that both Willard
and AGREE We're forced to seek EN-
ployment. 81
AGREE was conscious up to the
time of his death and stated that he
had no one to blame for the accident
but himself. According to his state
ment he was walking over cor of
ore while the train was in motion
and at the same time examining a
specimen of ore. He did not notice
where he was going and stepped be-
tween the cars and engine. The
latter backed over him.
As soon as The accident was re-
ported Superintendent Vanderhoff
wired to East Ely for special train
but AGREE died before the train could
be of service
The funeral will likely be under
the auspices of the Knights of
Pythias, AGREE being member of
that order. Plans however, are in
allegiance until arrival of a brother
who left Austin yesterday for this
city.
The coroners jury brought in the
following report: I'VE the jury inn
panelled to inquire into the circum-
stances leading up to THE death OF
Dudley -, AGREE. find that he came
to his death by accident while step

Young AGREE was pleasant. genial
fellow who made many friends about
the camp. He had had experience
in nearly of the mining districts and
railroad centers of the state as a
railroader. He had also had ex-
perience in the southern camps as
newspaper reporter and was a
bright. versatile young man.

$40 PER CAPITA
bullion Tux Collector Reports ON
Last Years Production.

Figuring Nevada with population
of 10000, this state produced an ay-
erage of $40 per capita in gold dur
ing 1908. For the first time in the
history of Nevada official figures CON
firming this have just been completed
by J. +. Haley. state license and bull
lion tax agent. His report for the
quarter ending March 3 of last year
and covering in every detail the min
ing resources of Nevada has been sub
mitted 10 Governor Dickerson Ii
shows total production of S14.373.
545.34 for twelve months. On this
the officers collected SOL 900.
The bullion tax agents report
deals at length about this result. his
figures showing that the bullion tax
as well as the output for the last
three months of the year were double
that of the first quarter, with in
dications good for a similar increase
in the production for the present year
Lax methods are charged i'll the
manner that some of the county Off
cials have been caring for the bullion
tab. Humboldt and Lincoln coun-
ties are specially mentioned, and Es-
meralda does not escape criticism. 1t
is not unlikely that the state officials
will take up the matter as brought
out by the report. The report brings
out the interesting fact that mining
properties are in operation and pay
ing a bullion tax in every county in
the state with the exception OF
Ormsby and Douglas.

WANTED TO USE RAZOR.

James Cunningham was arrested
early yesterday morning by Officer
Norman for drawing a razor on
James Wilson local tamale vender.
Wilson claims he was called into the
Idaho saloon by the bartender, who
purchased a sandwich. While Wilson
was at the bar Cunningham began to
call him all sorts of vile names. After
exhausting his vocabulary of vulgari-
~ Cunningham went to the rear of
the building and secured razor,
which he threatened to use on Will

tamale man and after considerable

DIVORCE FOR MRS. GOULD
Report of Referee in the Case Will Be
Handed in Soon.

New York, May 19.-The referee ap-
pointed last June to take testimony in
the action brought by Mrs. Frank j.
Gould against her young millionaire
husband, for an absolute divorce, will
hand In his report to the supreme court
within a few days. 1t is understood
that the report will recommend that
Mrs Gould be granted her decree and,
in consequence. all that will remain will
be the final signing of the papers by
the presiding judge.
Mrs. Gould, who was Helen Margaret
Kelly, will, it is expected, be permitted
to resume her maiden name and proba-
bly, will receive the consent of the court
to remarry after the expiration of the
introductory period made necessary I'M
der the most recent amendments to the
divorce law.
The young woman will have the Gus
tody of her children. Helen, s years
cid, and Dorothy. years DID, five
months in the year. The remaining
seven months the referee will recon-
mend that they be given over to the
keeping of their father. This is in ac-
cordance with an agreement entered
into some time ago by the parties to the
suit.
Although the action was a bitterly
fought one for many months, Mrs.
Gould did not ask for alimony. Ac-
cording to her lawyers, she is indie
pendently wealthy and the question of
an annuity from her husband had never
arisen. Despite the fact that Mrs.
Gould's father was stanch Catholic,
her family had no objection to her a.
plying for a decree. AS a matter of
fact, her uncle, Thomas Kelly, who is
chamberlain to the pope, was one of
those who encouraged her when she
made known her intentions.
As the papers in the action were or
0ered sealed, it is not probable that the
names of the correspondents in the ac-
ton will ever be known. Two women
known to have been named, however
were Rose Winter. an English actress
not unknown to American audiences
and Marjorie Stevens, who, when last
heard from, was in Paris.

BAR TAKES ACTION.
st. Joe Lawyer to Investigate Conduct
of Judge Philips.

st. Joe, May 19.-A mass meeting
Of st. Joseph lawyers at the court
house here has adopted a resolution
authorizing the appointment of a
committee to investigate the charges
made in congress recently by Repre-
sentative Murphy of Missouri against
Federal Judge John F. Philips of
Kansas City. The resolution was
only adopted by a vote of 33 to 26,
after several hours of debate which,
at times, became acrimonious.
The resolution as adopted reads:
Resolved That a committee of
three members Of this bar be APP
pointed to investigate the truth or
falsity of any and all charges made
concerning the judicial conduct of
the judge of the ST. Joseph division
of the western district of Missouri,
TO the end that If the charges are
found to be false, that the name and
honor of the judge may be com
pletely vindicated, and to the further
end that if there be any acts and
conduct not in keeping with the
our country, that such facts may be
put before the proper authorities for
such action as the nature of the case
may require and that the committee
hereby appointed be required to
make its report to this body at its
earliest convenience"
The resolution of Representative
Murphy also called for an investiga-
ton of the conduct of Judge Smith
Mcpherson.
