| used the w rd I'VE" in saying what he
was going to do, believed 1 had the
four men to deal with. Before 1 could
get to my gun two of them were out of
the buggy. got hold of the gun and
the first shot went off accidently-
maybe two shots-and by this time
French was getting out of the buggy,
and I noticed he had something white
in his hand as though he might have
something wrapped up. My last shot
was aimed at French and it hit him
as he was putting his feet on the
ground. l don't believe a man would
have time to move 6 inches between
the shots. After shooting him, came
back to town and gave myself up to
Sheriff Johnson. l never saw French
but twice to know him.
On one occasion when | was on the
grand jury inspecting the Jail l found
him confined there and after he put up
pitiful tale, signed a bond for his
! rrlease. | believe my life was in dan
ger when those men came up on me
and that is why shot French"
The last shot fired literally tore the
top of French's head off, being fired at
range of only 10 or Is feet. Death of
course was instantaneous. The body
fell from the buggy and remained laying
by the roadside for about two hours
until Judge Naylor ordered it taken to
the undertaking department of the
Hickman Furniture Co.
After the shooting, Mr. Doods came
back to town, informed Sheriff John
son what had happened and gave him.
self up to the authorities. He was
placed in charge of Sheriff Johnson tu
await preliminary hearing.
A number of witnesses testified THAT
French was dangerous, treacherous
man. Bun Hackett, who knew and
worked with him for a time testified
that he had asked for his mail at times
and that his mail came to Lester "Hol-
brock" French told him he was going
under an assumed name on account of
trouble he had before he came here,
The trial yesterday resulted in Mr..
Dodds' release, the Commonwealth
being absolutely unable to make any
fight to the contrary. When Judge
Naylor announced the verdict, a wild
cheer went up from the packed house
followed by a touching scene on the
part of the defendant and those dear
to him who wept with joy.
1t is almost needless to mention the
standing of Mr.. Dodds in this commu-
nifty. AS citizen and public spirited
man. he hasn't peer in the county OF
state. He has never before eXper-
fenced any serious trouble with his fel-
low man; in fact, he has less friction
then the average man of his activity.
He has a reputation for being quiet
and unassuming both in public and
private life, pleasant IN his business
dealings, and loved by all from the
poorest negro on his plantation to his
millionaire friends. He is a self-made
man whose efforts have been crowded
with success, but wealth has never
made fool of him. Few men have
ever done for Hickman what Sid DOdds
has done. His friends certainly regret
that this sad affair has been forced
upon him.

STILL CONTROL TRADE

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.--Ths sub sidence of turmoil in today's stock market afforded a strange contrast to yesterdays disorderly decline. Dealings did not fall back to last weeks low levels by any means, but the decreasing activity and the mar rowing range in fluctuations sug. gested a return of the same condi- tions of neglect and indifference Ad- vances were firmly held and the last prices were at top The poo position continued in the central subject of interest in the situation as a whole. The rise in proportion of dealings in U. S. Steel to one third Of the aggregate. with Read ing and Union Pacific supplying nearly another third, these three stocks being the medium of pools in operation, showed a heavy part was still played in the dealings by that corporation.

The work of obtaining the Mining congress of 1911 for Douglas is not dead nor is 1t sleeping. It is pro gress ng steadily. as can be seen by the letter which Secretary Grindell of the Chamber of Commerce and Mines sent out this morning. It will be remembered that some time since he was asked to make a presentation to the directors of the congress as to what Douglas was prepared to do to obtain the next session, and to have this in the hands of the secre tary before January 1. In accord. ance with this request he has sent the following letter:

MINING VETERAN
Douglas International.

Maj. w. J. Collins, a mining man of vast experience in many countries of the world, is in the city, returniy, from Mexico, where he had beer with O. L. Neer for ten days, visiting the Bacoachi and Cumpas sections, where he made an examination of the Veta Grande and Sierra Gordo prop critics, both of which are now being operated by Mr. Neer.
 Major Collins is no stranger to Art zona or Sonora, but he has not been i, this country for many years. Twenty-eight years ago he put a sixty-stamp mill on the Santa Maria property in the Arizpe district Ths Santa Maria is now owned by the Las Chipas people. He was also in terested in the Tombstone district during the boom days of that camp.
 Since leaving Arizona Major Collins has been following the mining busi- ness in different countries. He was in Australia for eight or ten years. There he came into an acquaintance with both English and French cap ital, and afterwards spent several years in South Africa
 This morning Major Collins talked interestingly to an International re- porter concerning conditions here now and when he was here during the early days of mineral develop ment in this country. He declared that outside of Cananea and Nacozarf he found the Sonora country much the same, but declared that the de velopment and progress at Cananea. Nacozari and Bisbee had been won derful. He spoke of Douglas and said that it's rapid growth was noth- ing more than the legitimate result of the rich mining country surround ing it

 OUTPUT DROPS

Tho Alaska Yukon Masaz ne comes forward with it's annual estimate of the Alaska gold output ahead of all others this year. It's estimate is $5.- OO.000 lower than the output of 1909. or a total of t15.00o. 600. which. t admits. is under rather than over the mark. The heavy falling off 8 attri- buted to the fact that the gravels of the old district rock enough to be worked by hand are practically ex- hausted while the work ng of the low-grade deposits by hydraui0cing aud dredging has been slow to come There are several new d stricts just entering upon large production and there is also a considerable increase in the yield from lode mining
 The falling on is ch efly in the Fairbanks d strict, where there has been dry weather, and where also much of the ground rich enough for pick and shovel mtning is worked out and dredging has not begun There wIl also be a falling off m the Nome and Seward Peninsula output, though a much smaller one Tn districts output is very largey from dredges, of which there were eieven installed at the beginning of this season. Fifteen more dredges have been added tn s summer. which should carry the products next yeai up to the districts record.
 There Is every prospect of furth- CT increase throughout the territory next year. and with the rapid in crease O, lode mining and the exceed ingiy good prom Sc of several new placer districts there is every hop that next years output will go well above the average of recent years.
