BEESLEY HAS
GOOD CHANCE
HOLDING HIS OWN BRAVELY
AGAINST TERRIFIC MUIR
les AT FIRE.

GOLDFIELD, June County
Commissioner Charles Beesley and
his wife were seriously burned Sun
day morning about 6:10 O'Clock by
fire of unknown origin which en-
veloped their home at 404 North
Franklin street while the occupants
were asleep. Their two year old
baby was rescued by the mother
and protected by pillow during
the escape, while Edwin, a boy
four years of age, was carried out
by Mr.. Beesley. Miss Lizzie, 16
years old escaped from the window
of her bedroom in the rear of the
cottage without being injured. The
other children were in the bedroom
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Beesley.
and are now being cared for at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs Dody, 316
North Blake street, while father
and mother are at st. Mary's hos
pital under medical treatment.
Although Mr. Beesley is in a
critical condition, DR.. Turner, the
attending physician, states that he
will probably successfully pass the
crisis. Pneumonia and uraemic poi
soning are to be feared on account
of the extreme shock due to a large
area of the body being burned. Mr..
Beesley's head and face, the breast,
! the upper part of the back, his
arms and legs, the lower right leg,
and his foot are badly injured. His
hair was singed from his head.
Mrs. Beesley was seriously burn
ed on the scalp, one shoulder and
arm, and other portions of the
body, but her injuries are not SC
serious as that of her husband.
Both of them were reported to be
progressing as favorably as could
be expected last night
Frank Harrington, miner who
resides across the street from the
Beesley residence, was the frs
neighbor to discover the flames, as
he came onto the street to star
for work He kicked in the from
door and found Mr. and Mrs. Bees

lust MISSED III.

An old timer recalls the fact that
two former Rhyoliters, Judge l.. o.
Ray and Chris Kellar, once had a
lease on the Clermont, today the
richest portion of the Goldfeld Con-
solidated-the greatest gold mine
on earth.
Before Judge Ray came to Rhyo-
lite in 1905, he and Kellar took a
lease on the Clermont and started a
shaft which they sunk 1875 feet
They abandoned the shaft without
having discovered pay ore. This
shaft today is producing more
wealth than any other shaft in the
known world.
There have been glory holes, but
none so extensive or as rich as the
Clermont, and to think that these
two prospectors-then as poor as
church mice'-were SO near and
yet SO far from great treasure
vault. Had they gone down lit
tie further, Ray and Kellar would
have struck an ore body bigger
and richer than anything ever
known in Goldfield, which has been
the scene of many a bonanza lease.

LATE DEVELOPMENTS IN MAR
sHALLTOWN TRAGEDY; PRO
TESTS INNOCENCE.
BY Associated Press

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, June s.
A pair of bloody overalls and 4
bloody hat which the authorities are
using as evidence to connect Ray
mond Harley with the murder of
his father, James Harley; his
mother and brother, Earl, whose
bodies were discovered here the 9th
er morning, with the skulls beat
en- to a pulp, were found on the
Harley farm here.
The authorities pinned young
Harley down to a statement, and
he admitted that he had hidden the
clothing in fear that he might be
connected with the crime. Young
Harley declared that the blood
spots were caused by chicken
blood.
While Harley protests his inno-
cence, he says he Is afraid he can
not prove it, because the exact hour
OF the crime can not be liked The
parents of his fiancee, Miss Mabel
Starnes, bear out his statements
that he was at the Starnes home
from p. m. until 1890 a. m. and
that he was not off the place in
the meantime. The farm is but
three and half miles from the
Harley home.
Another strange incident connect
ed with the case was the findinG
of horse belonging to the Hard
eys, bridled and saddled, early Sun
day morning. How the ANNA
came to be ready for use is no
known. Young Hardey told Miss
Starnes Sunday night of the Incl
dent and that he and his father ex
pected to sit up and watch for de
velopments.

SHORTAGE IN LAST
TWO BALL GAMES

ment was held last evening at the
gymnasium, with good attendance

The most important business be-
fore the session was to provide for
the shortage sustained in the two
ball games recently played at the
park-one with Nina and the 9TH
er with Manhattan. In the case Of
the former the receipts lacked $50
of equaling the expenses, while in
that of the latter there was deficit
of $40. The deficit will likely have
to be made up by another enter
tainment.

LEATHER WORKERS
FOR EIGHT HOURS
Demand. Will Be Made All Over the
Country for Uniform Workday.

]. Beginning Monday March FL, 1910,
the union leather workers Of the
country, comprising the Information
al United Brotherhood Of Leather
Workers on Horse Goods, will work
eight hours per day, throughout the
country.
The question as to making this
universal demand has been discussed
by the members in the United States
and Canada, with the result given
above. At present the leather work
ers have no universal day, but their
hours, in different localities, range
from SO to go per week. The de-
mand is to put every union man on
an eight-hour day, and to accept no
decrease in pay for day hands. but
to insist upon an increase OF 15 per
cent. for piece work.
Everywhere the men are enthusi-
astic about the new demands. and
locally, no trouble at all Is expected,
as the employers have shown a
friendly disposition in the matter.

But he was Immediately elected

Seven months ago the street rail-

James McNichol, a city contractor,
who promised the men that If they
would return to work their demands
would be granted, was SO close a
friend of Mayor Reyburn that the
men believed he could keep his word.

But McNichol's promise dodn' t

So the street railway men struck

ton at hand. !
So Mayor John A. Reyburn calls
out men with loaded guns and the
commissioner of public safety, Henry
Clay - do you remember how the
original Henry said, "Give me liberty
or give me death?" - Henry Clay
calls Jout more policemen, and tries
to get the governor to send OUT the
militia.
And every day the mayor sits at a
meeting of the board of directors of
the company and talks oveSmthe meth

about every day some newspaper de-

But the secret was that it was

the city hall officials were all mem

them owned street railway company

Then John A. Reyburn was elected

Lower fares wer due, certainly.
But, behold, Reyburn helped raise
the fares and the. six-for-a-quarter

surprise as the recent lowering of
the tariff.
The public held meetings and reso-
luted vigorously. Right on the same
ground where our forefathers de-
clared for independence the people
of Philadelphia tried to do the same
thing.
Reyburn only went ahead, saying,

Then the council elected Clarence

"Wolf owns thousands Of shares of

IMMIGRATION FIGHT
now IN FULL Swing

Washington, D. C.9The National
immigration League, an organized
immigration into the United States
has sent notice to all the foreign
newspapers published in America,
calling for immediate action to OPP
pose the American Federation of
Labor and the farmers unions, who
have presented demands to congress
for the stringent restriction of for
eign immigration.
Alarmed at the number and pow
ser of the Representatives Pf the
House Committee of immigration an
Naturalization who, at it's last meet
ing, openly favored the restricting
measures proposed by the unions,
Mr.. N. Behar,s the administrative di-
rector of the National immigration
League has prepared and sent out
the following letter of information
to the Leagues membership.
immigration is in peril. Besides the
measures of the Hayes law, many
others have been presented to con-
gress, all with the intention of re-
sriction, or rather the abolition of
immigration. The incessant and en-
ergetic propaganda of the restriction
lists has borne it's fruits even among
literally disposed people. These say
that it is necessary to give some salts
faction to such persistent demands.
Some would consent to the education
al tests, others to the head-tax of
$25, and many have decided to rec
ommend the approval of the Hayes
law with notifications. 1t is time
that the newspapers representing the
foreign colonies-which are naturally,
most interested in Immigration
should organize in a solid body to
oppose the forces of the restrictionist
in the present session of Congress.
Members of the Legislative Com
mittee of the American Federation Of
Labor who have this matter IN charge
lay particular stress on the efficacy of
an increased head-tax to- restrict i'm
migration; and they would collect
this head-tax from non-citiZens every
time they entered the United States.
Acknowledging that such legisla-
ton would probably effect the desired
end, Representative Gardener of the
Immigration and Naturalization Com
mittee, said: Those (foreigners)
who are rich enough to make fire.
quent trips to Europe can certainly
afford. to pay q head-tax every time
they re-enter the United States"
That the powerful commercial in
fluence welded by the Japanese gov
eminent is behind the lobby opposing
restricted immigration is asserted by
labor leaders in Washington.
