MYSTERY OF TELEPHONE MES
SAGE OF MURDER REMAINS uN-

Somebody been murdered. Come

This was the startling message re-

"Where?" ased McRea.

came the answer.
The receiver was hurrledly

dered and at breakneck speed She
two officers started to investigate.
Arriving in the vincinity or the
custom house, everything was as
quiet as a Quaker meeting. No
crowd had congregated anywhere
thereabouts, most of the houses were
dark, as it was late, and no excite
ment was manifested anywhere in
side of any of the lighted houses Wis
tied.
Even the barns were searcehd and
everybody awakened, but instead OF
mangled corpse and hysterical
women, only night-capped heads,
thrust from doors while their owners
mumbled sleepily about ~bein' dis

Finally it was CONCLUDED that
someone must have been affected
with a session of "iimmies," and
had mistaken an old Billy Goat

death struggle. The goat and the
blanket were the only exciting things
the officers could find.

OLD LINE COMPANIES
SUFFER FROM PLAN
HUNDREDS OF POLICY HOLDERS
INTEND TO QUIT SHORT AND
ENTER c. @. ASSOCIATION.

Probabilities are that the new Cop
per Queen Benefit association win
play havoc with the business OF the
insurance companies. particularly
those having accident benefits.
This is on account of the fact that
in the case OF the new association the
accident benefits are much more than
paid by the older insurance compan-
les and the rate of the Copper Queen
association is so much cheaper.
In intend to drop my old line pol
icy just as soon as can get Cop

The Original Tangle yesterday. MY
beneficiaries will receive $4,000 in
stead of 800 in case of death by ac-
cident; it is much cheaper, and on
account of being a home. concern,
benefits will be paid Immediately.
The benefits on account of injuries
received are so much more than
those OF the old line companies as 70
be Incompatible.
The old line companies, it is
thought. will lose several hundred of
their policy holders through the new
association. About three-fourths Of
the Copper Queen miners are insured
in one of these because it makes a
speciality of taking risks on miners.
Everybody at the shafts are max
ing the association the one topic OF
discussion and nearly every man is
more than anxious to take advant-
