shown in the suggestion by that
paper that the men back OF this
proposition realize that It will not
be safe to claim merely that Mr..
Denning is wanted as an expert, so
the proposition unquestionably is to
drum up some belief or pretense I'M
der which It can be claimed that Mr..
Denning is wanted for something
he has said or done since he has
been here.
We dare not suggest to Mr.. Light

to use the process of the court for
any such purpose. and that he may
find his fingers badly burned before

Matchmaking program. 1t would
prejudice the trial forsooth.

his moves and what he plans to do,

the process of the court and how he
proposes to get around the PROPOSE

tanned as an expert 1t may be upon
conditions requiring expert fees to
be paid, the man who has received

perhaps be played upon Mr.. Dem

AMERICUs PAPERS ACCOUNT.
What the Times-RecOrder Says of
Mr.. LOCke's Death.


Following is the account of Mr..
Locke's death that was printed by
the Americas Times-Recorder
Mr.. William F. Locke of Dawson
died at an early hour yesterday morn
ing in his room at the Hotel Wind
sor. With a party cof friends from
that city he had come here upon a
brief visit, and his sudden death
proved great shock to them as we'll
as to his family and many friends in
his home town.
THE Dawson party had come to
Americas to witness the ball game
the afternoon previous, when an acct
dent to their automobile necessitated
their spending the night here.
I'm the accident TO the car Mr..
Locke sprained his ankle slightly,
and upon the return to the hotel re-
quested DR., F. B. Gregory to admin
lister a potion of morphine to relieve
the pain. One-fourth of a grain was
given hypodermically.
Forty minutes thereafter DR..
Gregory administered another quar-
ter grain. A total of one-half grain
was thus given Mr.. Locke Tuesday
night.
For sometime thereafter he con-
versed with friends who called at
his room. DR.. Gregory 2eft him at
IL o'clock, promising to return at
$3.50 yesterday morning to again
dress the bruised ankle that Mr..
Locke might return to Dawson by
the morning Central train
Mr.. James Tweedy of Dawson, a
personal friend of Mr.. Locke and a
member of his party here, spent the
night in his room. When DR.. Greg
DRY entered the apartment at $50
yesterday morning he found Mr..
Locke in extremis.
Death is attributed to weakened
vital organs and the excitement of
the automobile accident.
Mr.. Locke's death was a shock to
his friends, of whom he had quite a
number in Americas.
The body was removed from the
Hotel Windsor to the residence of
Mr.. NJ. M. Lowrey, personal friend,
on Church street. At o'clock, ao-
companied by friends, it was carried
to his now darkened home in Daw-
son.
Mr.. Locke was prominent in the
commercial and social life of Daw-
son, and highly esteemed"

THE TALLEsT MAN is DEAD.
He Was a Texan, and Deputy Sheriff

He Was a Texan, and Deputy Sheriff
Slade of Dawson Knew Him Well.
A Mount Vernon, Tex, dispatch
says that Colonel H. c. Thruston,
known as the Texas Giant" and be-
lieved to be the tallest man in the
United States, has just died at his
home there. He was n years old,
and served through the war in the
confederate army. He stood seven
feet nine inches in his stocking feet,
and came of a race of large men,
his grandfather, who was over seven
feet tall, having served as an aide
on General Washington's staff in the
revolutionary war. He leaves a son
who is slightly more than seven feet
in height.
A fine handmade slate casket was
made at Texarkana and forwarded
to Mt. Vernon for him It measured
eight feet in the clear, and is thought
to be the longest ever manufactured
in the United States, Colonel Thrus-
ton was a conspicuous figure at the
late confederate reunion in Memphis.
Deputy Sheriff Slade of Dawson
was a resident of Mt. Vernon, Tex,
number of years, and knew Colonel
Thruston well.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. CHAPMAN.
Tribute to Good Woman Who Re-
Gently Went to the Eternal Home.

Gently Went to the Eternal Home.
On the evening of June the goth
the Death Angel stole softly into the
home of Mr.. J. w. Chapman and
sealed in death the eyes of his wife,
Nina Weston Chapman, after a short
illness of only two weeks.
While il was known by those at
her bedside that her condition had
been critical for the last hours and
the end was expected her death came
as shock to a large circle of rela-
tives and friends.
1t seems hard to give her up in
full beauty and bloom of a noble
Womanhood, young mother-and
two dear little boys are left unknown
to mothers love and caresses. May
they never know and feel the need
of one. But the dear Lord knoweth
best. 1t is He who doeth all things
we'll.
Large of soul and always generous
she lived a life of cheerfulness and
love. She was one who loved her
friends. Every one of them she
reckOned by the number of her ac-
Quaintances. A CHEEKY word and
smile was ever on her lips, for she
had heart that was big, kind and
true. Home was the place that she
loved most, and the loved ones at
home she never forgot. She lived
to help and to enkindle, not only in
those who were nearest and dearest
to her but in all who knew her, a
kindlier love for everyone.
Baseness was foreign to her, but
love she knew and felt all through
her life.
There is a vacant chair, a missing
link in the chain of members of a
happy family that have long loved
her. There are many hearts that
bleed, for they miss her cheerful
voice and her kindly smile She was
so young-and she is gone!

NOT AFTER NINE AT NIGHT
CAN YOU BOWL THE BALLS IN
DAWSON. COUNCIL DOESN'T
WANT REST DISTURBED.

The bowling alley ordinance has
been amended again, and now after
8 o'clock at night the rumbling of
the balls and the falling of the pins
is heard no more. All is dark and
quiet at this resort.
Tuesday night the complaint of
Mrs. S. Jones, who runs a boarding
house nearby, and Capt. VIM. Kaig-
Ter, who rooms in the same block,
that the noise at the bowling alley
disturbed rest at night came up for
consideration by the council, and
Capt. Kaigler was there in person to
see that his side of the question
was represented.
After some discussion, into which
a bit of ginger was injected by the
parties at interest, the council decid-
ed in favor of the complainants, and
amended the bowling alley ordinance
so as to require such places to close
at nine O'Clock at night.
The Amended Ordinance.
Following is the amended ordi-
nance, under which bowling alleys

PETER AND PAUL.

! came falling the other day;
l wanted some money to give away,
And strongly tempted at charity's call
To take from Peter and give to Paul 2
Paul has money, but Peter has none,
But Paul is the minister's only son,
And Peter a sinner with a judgment small,
So it sounds more tony to give to Paul.
It's easy to sell poor Peter coat
For twice its worth, and by taking his note
And charging him interest a little tall
You'll have an extra for wealthy Paul
It's often done by many a man
He sells to the poor for all he cap,
For the rich have power by a simple serawl
To steal from Peter to honor Paul
Now harken, my brethren, a warning take
In giving your aims for the Saviors sake,
For God will not smile on your gift at ell
If you rob poor Peter to honor Paul.
Let truth and honesty rule each heart,
And when from these earthly things we part
To stand at the judgment, one and ALL
We can see poor Peter and wealthy Paul.
And now if I've only a penny to give
/ will try my best as long as l live
To be honest with God and never fall
BY taking from Peter and giving to Paul.

Gold in the CordiIIeras

Goldfelds in Peru and Bolivia east of the Andes have been described by w. NJ. Conway before the Royal Society of Arts. On the Beni river below the Gorge at Guanay is q lake basin filled with gravel carrying as much as s423 gold per cubic yard. On the neighbor- ing Inambari river gold has also been found. In both cases deep and flat lying gravels occur. Companies have been formed to mine them. The vari- ous experts who have examined these gravels have tested surface gravels only.
 In Incahuara, however, many pits were dug and the ground was explored to depth of 16 feet and found to be rich. At no place has bedrock been reached. Neither has the bed of either river been examined. Only one method of working these gravels is practicable, and that is by dredging. There is not grade enough for sluicing.
 At Incahuara there are no boulders, the largest stones being little bigger than a mans head. Most of the reaches of the lower Inambari, except where torrential side streams enter, are also void of boulders. On both rivers the ground is loose, a mere mixture of stones and sand without clay. The current of neither river at proposed dredging points is swift enough to make trouble for dredge. In flood time it can float over and excavate the banks or can be worked in 8 paddock.
Tanana leader., 1909-11-25

During low water it can work the bed of the stream. The transport of dredges to these remote places is difficult and costly.
 The extent of the two dredging grounds is not known. The only part of the ground yet examined thoroughly is the Incahuara basin. This contains l0,O00,000 yards of workable gravel to q depth of 30 feet. It's surface has been sampled and has nowhere been found to yield an average of less than $l and in many places much more. The bedrock value is likely to be much higher, and so is that of the actual bed of the stream. An average of 75 cents per cubic yard is not an extravagant estimate. At this rate the Incahuara basin alone contains $7,500,000 worth of gold. For 100 miles below the Inca huara basin it is believed that the Beni gravels contain gold. There are numbers of places where it has been definitely found.
 On the Inambari a much longer stretch has been actually sampled than along the Beni, and as much as $5.30 gold per cubic yard has been obtained. The Inambari, therefore, is likely to yield as much gold as the Beni. The lower tributaries of both rivers con- tains alluvial gold. Indications point to the conclusion that this part of the eastern slope of the Cordilleras is real gold field of great size and inn portance. Its southern limit seems to be about the latitude of about Mount Illihani, but it's northern limit is un- known. That it reaches far to the north of the Inambari valley is proba- ble. Gold is reported on the Yucayli river and elsewhere, but the informa- tion is at present vague.-Mining and Scientific Press.
