The failure was due to our invest

astrous. We worked in the face of
innumerable obstacles, the first
being the San Francisco fire, which
caused a shrinkage in our securities
amounting to a half million dollars.
The fall in the price of our Goldfeld
holdings, due to the labor troubles
there, caught us for a couple of
hundred thousand dollars more and
the great panic completed the dis

to get our heads above water and |
think we should have succeeded in

and all we will do the rest of II

years, will be to make everybody

CONDUCTOR FINDS
MURDER MYSTERY

The county authorities at Wells,
Nevada, have another one of those
mysteries of death to unravel in con
nection with the finding of the body
of an elderly man by Conductor
McGovern Of a westbound Southern
Pacific passenger train late Tuesday
afternoon.
Laying face downward, with his
throat cut from ear to ear about
fifty feet from the right-of-way
fence of the railroad, the body of
an unknown man was found between
Anthony and Holborn, 162 miles
west of Ogden, by Conductor Nc
Govern, who, upon seeing the body
from the car, stopped the train and
gathered up the body and took it to
Wells, where it was turned over to
the county authorities.
According TO the information re-
ceived at Ogden yesterday, there
was absolutely nothing on the body
of the man to lead to his identity.
Whether the man committed suicide
while in a melancholy mood, result
ing from failure to make the
stake" in Nevada he had hoped
for. or whether it was a case of
murder will not be known until a
rigid investigation has been made
by the authorities at Wells Ex-
aminer.

Ex-President Roosevelt's refusal

If the Pope has the right to impose
humiliating conditions upon those

conditions are imposed certainly has
the right to reject them. We can
not see that the incident has any
