L. L. Patrick, a former mining
promoter, and of the late firm of Pat
rick, Elliott and Camp, and now pres
ident of the First National bank of
Goldfield, who has been indicted by
the federal grand jury for using the
postoffice to defraud, is in New York
and will shortly return to Nevada to
answer the charge. The firm OF Pat
rick, Elliott and Camp did one of the
largest promotion business in Ne
vada during the boom days, and was
a large advertiser in papers through
out the union, and for which some of
the advertisements have never been
paid for. The Carson City News
gives the following concerning the
finding of the indictment, and which
the government claims a strong case
against the defendant:
During the boom days of the
southern mines, the firm of Patrick,
Elliott and Camp did large amount
of business in the booming of mining
stocks and their market letter. was
sent broadcast over the country. The
firm was also heavy advertiser and
in this Market Review" styled itself
''The Firm Without a Failure" and
asked that all correspondence be di-
rectad to them at their Goldfield Of
fee.
Through their various advertising
schemes it is alleged by the grand
jury that they entered into scheme
knowingly and fraudulently' to de
fraud these people out of large sun
of money (about $60,000), using
therefore the postoffice of the United
States, which is against the text o
the law.
Through the representation
made by this market letter and var
ious letters that followed between
the firm and the defrauded partie
later, the said Klietsch and other
bought the stock of the Manhattan
Mizpah Mining company, payin
therefore the sum of 25 cents pc
share. That stock so sent to Kliestc
by the promoters was capital stoc
of the company, but the said none

moters was not nor any part of

FAKES HOLD-UP STORY;
SEWS MONEY IN COAT
Illinois Express Agent Conceals $1,000 in
Sleeve Lining, but Is Caught
by Police.

PEORIA. ILL.,, Oct. 23.-Driven by an
impulse to get rich quick, James Mahan
aged %, night agent for the American
Express company at the Union depot
is alleged to have originated a fake
holdup story, after robbing the company
safe of $4,000 in currency at 2:4O this
morning.
After sewing $1,000 in large bills in the
lining of his coat sleeves and scattering
the remainder of the stolen plumber in
obscure places throughout the Union
depot, he, according to the police, called
them by telephone and declared that he
had been held up at the point of a revol
yer. and robbed of the money. Detec
tives answered the call for assistance
and during their investigation of the al
legged holdup had occasion to grasp Ma
han by the arm, the crinkling of the bills
in the coat sleeve, it is asserted, led the
detectives to suspect Mahan. In an in
slant Mahan was thrown on his back or
the floor and stripped of his outer cloth
ing.
The detectives say that they had dis
covered $1,000 sewed hastily in the lining
Of the coat sleeves and that MahaI
broke down and confessed. Leading the
detectives from one end Of the building
to the other. Mahan, they say, pointed
out where he had hidden the remain
ing $4,000. All but SO of the $4,000
stolen was recovered. Mahan is rep
resented as having declared that it was
only a sudden impulse to accomplish the
plan he had read of others doing, thai
led him into the crime.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
DR.. Haldane Cleminson Is Accused of
Having Killed Wife-Declares
She Committed Suicide.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 25.-Dr. Haldane
Cleminson, charged with the murder of
his wife, was placed on trial before Judge
McSurely today.
On the morning of Mrs. Cleminson's
death DIR. Cleminson telephoned to a
physician that he and his. wife had been
chloroformed by a burglar; that Mrs.
Cleminson was dying, and that he was
very sick. Silverware which DR.. Clemin-
son said had been stolen by the alleged
intruder was later found by the police
in Cleminson's kitchen.
Twenty-four hours after Mrs. Clemin-
sons death the physician admitted that
he had invented the burglar story. He
said he had done so to save his children
from the stigma of their mothers suicide.
That she died by her own hand will
be the defense. Mrs. Cleminson was a
daughter of John Morgan of South
Haven, Mich, who has since died, sup
posedly of a broken heart.

COLLIER IS EXONERATED
KENosHA AUTO ACCIDENT LAID TO
BAD ROADS.
Sensational Fatality of Oct. Is Re-
called by Witnesses-Driver, Though
Hurt, Tried to Save Victim.

KENOSHA. Wis, Oct. 26.-[ Special
Accidental death is the verdict OF the
coroner's jury upon the death OF Harvey
J. Gibson on October 5 in an automobile
wreck. 1t is probable that some suit Tor
damages brought either by the heirs or
the late Harvey Gibson or by Edward
Collier will be started against the town
board of Salem as the evidence at the
inquest showed that the accident was
directly due to the condition OF the ROAD.
The witnesses before the jury included
Edward Collier. the driver of the auto
mobile; Peter Petersen. the man VINO
drove the horse attached to the buggy
which Collier attempted to pass at the
time of the accident; DR.. W. w. War
riner of Antioch and John Gaggin, who
resides near the scene of the accident.
Petersen declared that he saw the au-
tomobile coming over the crown OF the
hill 400 feet in front of him and seeing
that it would be impossible for the auto
mobile and the buggy to pass he mad
leaped from his buggy and taken his
chances of rolling to safety down the
embankment on the side of the road.
Collier testified that the high weeds on
the side of the roadways made 1t appear
as if it were possible for him to pass the
vehicle. He declared. that the machine
went 40 feet after it hit the emoan2-
ment
Collier stated that he was left alone
with Gibson after the accident and al
though badly injured he had attempted
to raise the heavy automobile from the
body of Gibson, but found the task i'm
possible.
Every witness on the stand testified
that Collier was not intoxicated when
he was removed from the wreck of the
automobile.
It is thought that the county board
acting on the recommendation of the
coroner's jury will pass a vigorous reso-
luton in favor of wider roadways.

EARTH IS QUITE SAFE.
Prof Lymer of Lawrence Faculty Says
Missouri Scientists Prediction Is
Altogether Too Dire.

APPLETON, Wis, Oct. 26.-[ Spe-
cial. Prof. Lymer of Lawrence college
faculty, and one of the greatest authori-
ties on astronomy in. the country, says
as to all predictions of what will hap
pen when Halley's comet and the atmos-
phere Of the, earth collide this winter:
''AIl boshv'
A Missouri scientist predicted serious
Iy the destruction of the earth by fire.
This prognosticator is a churchman and
authority on the stars. Prof Lymer,
however, says,
"Halley's comet will be nearest the
sun April IS, 1910. This comet is COM
posed of dust even more attenuated than
attitudes. Father Chapperrin of st.
Louis believes the comet is solid enough
to destroy itself and the earth.
Charles A. Young's works are stand
ard with colleges and universities He
says: AS regards collisions with com
cts there is no question of the POSSIBLE
ity. If the earth lasts long enough it is
sure to happen. AS to the consequence
Of such collision it is impossible to
speak positively If the particles of COM
cts weigh tons, there would be serious
results. IT,, as seems more likely, they
are smaller than pinheads, the result will
be simply splendid shooting stars. In
1861 the earth actually passed unnoticed
through the tail of comet
"A different danger is suggested: That
the earth's atmosphere would be poi
soned by the gas of the comet Here,
again, it is probable that the density of
the matter is not enough to cause mis-
chief"

DIES AS CORNICE FALLS
FOREMAN ON NEW CAPITOL FALLS
SEVENTY FEET TO HIS DOOM.
Four Ton Granite Block Tears Out Mass
of Stonework-$3O,O Damage
Sustained by Contractors.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 25.-Overbal-
anced by the weight of four-ton block
of granite which was being set in place,
the cornice of a portion of the west wing
of the new $6,00O,OO0 capitol, fell Sun
day afternoon, killing Foreman Daniel
Logan of Chicago, and causing $4,000
damage to the structure.
Logan and Frank Bliss were on top
of the cornice trying to swing the block
into position. Bliss saved himself by
jumping back through nearby window,
but Logan, who was near the outer edge,
fell with 300 tons of granite seventy
feet to the ground below. Logans skull
was crushed.
Logan was employed by the Woodbury.
Granite company of Hartwick, VT,
which is building the new capitol, and
to go to Chicago in few days and
work on the new city hall, which the
same company is building. He was 30
years old and leaves a widow and son
2 years old.
In 1883 the west wing of the old capt
tol fell while in course of construction,
and eight Workmen were killed.
Three workmen were on the ground
beneath the cornice when the stone be-
gan to break loose. Hearing the grinding
of the masonry as the big block began to
move the men ran away to places of
safety. These were Engineer E. J. Da-
mon, Tagman Otto w. Scheer, and Help
err Patrick Powers, all residents of Mad
ison. Construction Superintendent John
H. Gormley and Capitol Policeman John
G. Jennings were near by, but were IN
injured.
The crash of the falling granite could
be heard for blocks, and soon a large
crowd of spectators were ON the scene.
The city and capitol policemen soon took
charge of the situation and kept the Gu
rious out of the danger zone. It was
feared for a time that more of the gran
tie would fall.

COTTON TAKES A JUMP.
Prices Make New High Records and
There Is Great Excitement in Mar
ket in New York

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-There was
great excitement in the cotton market
today, prices making new high records
owing to the big gains in Liverpool, a
bullish crop estimate by a prominent
English expert, a scarcity of shorts, and
general buying. December cotton sold
at 14.11 and May at 14.25, about 10 to
20 points higher than Saturday. There
was enormous realizing, particularly as
the census report showed rather more
cotton ginned to October IS than recent
private figures. AS a result of the real
izing, prices lost several points of the
gain.
