time that the Indians secured their
whisky at the Baker road house. An
investigation made by Constable Santos
and a representative of the Mail, re-
suited in the confession of an Indian,
who declared that ne had procured
liquor from Baker.
Baker. in addition to conducting the
road house and corral, deals in wood,
and for some time has had a number of
Indians employed in cutting and haul
ing the wood to his camp. Tang Oar
rough was one of the Indians SO en-
gagged and had been working for Baker
about a month.
Baker had been in the habit Of pay
ing the Indians off every night. 1t was
a dispute over wages that caused the
shooting, though it is rumored that
Baker had been on intimate terms with
a sauaw who it is claimed Darrough had
been paying some attention to. The
story goes that Darrough had found the
squaw in Bakers house two weeks ago,
drunk. The Indian became ineensed
and began abusing Baker, who ii is said
attacked him and administered a severe
beating. 1t is understood that bad
blood had existed between the two ever
since, though Tang remained in Bakers
employ.

A p~etition has been filed in the SUI

treasury or promotion as required by
the act passed by the last Legislature
commonly known as the wildcat law.
This act went into effect On March

The suit is a friendly one, or "test

pose of having the supreme court con

The defendants declined and refused
to stamp their stock as required, for
the principal reason that the act makes
no distinction between certificates OF
stock issued by companies organized
prior to the passage of the act ant

This is the first case of the sort to be

only point unsettled. Now that an am
pie supply of power is assured, it is
expected that work will proceed as
rapidly as possible on the power line,
the mill and the water supply, as Meth
er win be of any value without the
others.
The pipe for the water line has been
ordered, and several carloads have ar
rived in Fallon and are ready to be
hauled here when needed.
1t is said that bids for the construe-
tion of the mill were opened on Feb
ruary 2lst, and the contract let. Mr..
Daniel, the manager for the company,
IS credited with saying that the mill
will be grinding rock by the first of
September. This will neeessitate the
employment of a considerable force of
men, as there is not a great deal of
time to waste if the work is to be com
pleted according to schedule.

There is no longer any doubt as 20

TO a telephone message, stated to the

RAWHIDE MINES CONTINUE

This does not include the ore removed,
but simply screenings.
Some time back the Mint leasers en-
countered on the 800 level what appears
to be the same body, and they sank a
winze on it. This is about so feet fur
ther in than the face of the present
working, and the indications are that
they have at least so feet of the ex-
ceedingly rich stuff, to say nothing of
what may be developed in the future.
High Grade on Roseberry.
Messrs. Smith and Loufek secured a
lease on the Roseberry estate a few
days ago and recently began work on
it. The lease is the one formerly OPP
Grated as the Hooligan Hill lease, and
from which a good deal of high grade
had been extracted. The new ~lessees
had hardly begun work when they
struck a handsome high grade streak,
from which in two days time they have
taken about half a ton of ore that we
are told will run $500 to the ton. Two
hundred and fifty dollars is not bad for
two days work by two men. They are
energetically after the rich stuff and
sacking it for shipment to the Hazen
sampler.

 The report of the secretary was giv- en, forty five of the churches in the state not having made returns.
 It was voted that the churches con tribute five cents per member in com- pliance with the request of the Nation al Council. It was stated that this was the first State Conference to com- ply with the request.
 The report of the Statistical Secreta- " brought forth considerable discus sion, and it was voted that 8 commit tee of six be appointed relative to the matter.
 Voted that when committees were appointed at this conference they be comprised of half ministers and half laymen unless the subject matter was such that one or the other would be more beneficial.
 Up to this time everything had been carried out according to the program, but when the committee on Sunday observance and moral legislation made it's report it precipitated discussion that lasted the remainder of the after noon. It was by vote of the confer eace that other matters on the pro gram were postponed in order that the issue raised by majority and minon- ty report might be threshed out. The committee agreed upon the resolutions offered except in the matter of alna- teur sports on Sunday. TheimaJority report favored legislation allowing purely amateur sports on Sunday pro slding they were under regulation. so as not to interfere with religious wor- ship. The minority report excepted to this feature. The discussion was general, those from the cities appar- ently being in favor of the majority re- port, while the members from the small towns and country villages SUD- ported the minority. There was an amendment to allow a local option clause. There were also other amend ments and substitutions until 1t be- came apparent that the conference was diserging in many directions. Some one suggested this and moved that the matter be referred back to the commit Ice to see if they could come to some unanimous agreement.

The forty-fourth annual meeting of she .General Conference of Congrega- tional Churches of Connecticut was called to order in the Second Congre- gational church in this city, at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon by Rev. F D. sargent. Delegates began to ar rive on the morning trains and were busy registering and getting settled for their short stay and seeing 10 re- bate railroad tickets, so that they did not have many idle moments before the Conference was called to order.
 There were about seventy-five dele gates present when the gathering was called to order, but this number was greatly swelled by new arrivals con- ing in until nearly twice that number were present. Judge Alfred Colt of New London, was elected moderator, Rev. samuel Fiske, Berlin, Scribe, and William Hubbard, Centerbrook, as- sistant scribe.
 Rev F. D. Sargent, pastor of the To- cal church, heartily welcomed the Jel- egates to Putnam, alluding to the city As in the furthermost corner of the Commonwealth. He spoke of how much had been thought of their eom- ing. He outlined the origin of the town and gave a short historic sketch of it. We will do our best he said. sto make your stay as happy as possi- bIe. All denominations will render assistance. We are awfully glad 10 have you come for the pleasure you give Us by being here.n The moderator responded briefly 10 the welcome, spoke highly of MT Sargent, whom he said he had known for a good many veaIs, and thanked him and all who had any part in the entertainment of the members of the conference.
 Prayer was then offered by Dr. Camp. the senior member present. The official reports were then given. The treasurer's report was as follows:
