Murder Early Sunday in
Hotel at Warren, n. h.
Christie kenney Dead--I ".
Shields Held for the Murder.
Hotel Proprietor Nearly Shot, While
Trying TO Enter Room.

Warren, N H, Feb. J.-While Frank
L. Whitcher, proprietor of the Hotel
Moosilauke, stood just outside the door
demanding admission today to the
room occupied by ]. Walter Shields of
West Philadelphia, five shots were fir
ed within and when the door was
forced Christie Kenney of Lancaster
was found huddled in heap on the
floor dead. Three of the shots had en-
tered Kenney's body, while the remain.
ing two went through the partition
and barely missed Whitcher. Shields
IS held on a charge of murder.
Whitcher retired late last night and
some time after midnight was awaken
cd by voices coming from Shields
room. RE noise grew louder until
WhitcAer decided to investigate. He
found Shields door locked and de-
manded admission, but Shields refused
to open. The other occupant of the
room, who later turned out to be Ken
ney, apparently mistook the proprietor
for a physician friend and urged
Shields to let Doc" come in. but
Shields refused.
Whitcher a little later heard the
Philadelphia man declare that he had
lost gold watch and chain. to which
his companion replied that he did not
know anything about it. Then follow
ed more words and finally without
warming the shots rang out.
Leaving his post at the door of the
room Whitcher made his way to a
piazza roof from where he could see
into the room. He saw, according to
his latter statement, Kenney lying
PROSTATE on the floor and Shields with
revolver in his hands pacing up and
down the room. Meanwhile word of
the trouble had been sent to the au-
thorities and Deputy Sheriff Henry L.
Cotton of Warren arrived soon after
the shooting. With the aid of Which
er and Frank Moses. he forced the
door, Shields having again refused to
open it, and placed Shields under ar
rest. Shields did not make any re-
sistance, but he declined to make any
statement pending the arrival of his
attorney, "Al" Shields of Philadelphia,
to whom word was immediately sent.
Although Shields comes from Philadel-
phia, he Is well known i'll this part of
the country, for he has spent his SUM-
mers here ever since he was small boy.
Some months ago. lie was Ill with typhoid
fever and upon his recovery came to
Warren to spend the winter and recuper-
ate. He had been here this time about
six months and had spent the time hunt
ing and fishing. He is about so years
of age and unmarried.

"wAlT UNTIL WEDNESDAY,"
Sheehan No Nearer Senatorship Goa
But Expects Things to Happen,

Albany. Feb. 5.-William F. Shechan
talked with Coy. Dix Friday concern
ing his candidacy for the United
States senatorship and afterward left
for New York Tho governor said Fri
day night there was no change in the
situation, but he declined to discuss
Mr.. Sheehan's interview with him.
Mr.. Sheehan is saying very little. but
his friends say he intends to stick.
Charles +. Murphy repeated only
the governors assertion that there is
nothing new in the situation. Al
though surface Indications are calm
efforts are still being made to win
over enough Insurgent votes TO send
Mr.. Sheehan to Washington. Wait
until "Wednesday" was the word Friday
night, but Just what Wednesday would
bring fourth is problematical.
Fridays ballot was perfunctory af-
fair. With only IS members present
Another ballot will be taken Saturday
but no changes are expected.

OIL EXCITEMENT CONTINUES.
(From Thursdays Daily)

(ETom Thursdays Daily)
 H. H. MePhaul, field representative of California oil operators, returned from the Verde valley yesterday and left in the afternoon for the southern part of the territory to continue his investigations of lands. He stated that a drilling machine is to be in stalled immediately on the Turner ranch, and it is expected drilling will be under way inside of thirty days. NIT. MePhaul reports the excitement as intense, and that loeators in their wild rush are taking up everything in the mountain ranges many miles from where the indications are so favorable for finding an oil flow. Land values have reached a very high figure.

l quiring expenditure of $500.00 in lab
 or or improvements for the benefit
 of the location for which patent is
 sought. Distinguishing the rule in
 Clark vs Taylor (2O L. D. 445). As a general rule final certificate and patent for a mining claim should issue to the applicant in whose name the patent proceedings were initiated and prosecuted, and in the event of his death. certificate and patent should nevertheless issue in his name f and not to his heirs. The formal rule in Trip vs. Dunphy (2s l.. D. 1D, reversed.
 Under provisions of Act of Can gress, March ?, 1911, (36 Stat. 1O15), patent will not be denied because of any transfer or assignment of inter est of the original locator to any qualified person or corporation prior , to discovery of oil or gas therein. Deposits of gravel and sand suit able for concrete construction, but otherwise having no special value, except that derived from proximity to town, do not render the land in which they are found mineral in character within the meaning of the Mining Laws, or bar entry under the Homestead Laws, notwithstanding the land may be more valuable on ae- count of such deposits than for agri- cultural purposes.
 NoTE.-The digest is necessarily short this month for the reason that the First Assistant Secretary and Assistant Attorney General assumed office on June lst and comparatively few important decisions were render ed during the past month. for the reason that these officers insist upon a careful personal consideration of each ease. in order that they may more rapidly familiarize themselves with the present business of the De partment.

(Fren Fridav's Daily.l

C. W. Mitchell, vice-president of the Pacific Copper Mining Company, at Silver Mountain, arrived in the city yesterday from Sierra Madre. Cal. and will leave today for his camp to make an examination of development. He states that the striking of a new grade of ore on the 500 foot level. where good gold values have been determined in a blind vein, exposed by crosscut, is the inducement that takes him to the mine at this time. This discov- cry, he states, is the most important that has ever taken place in the history of the property, and occur- ring at the greatest depth vet ex- plored, is creating considerable com ment among those interested. Mir Mitchell is one of the original stock holders of the company, and is a frequent visitor to the country.

The tonnage opened and ready for stoping in the Clara mine justifies the installation of the additional machinery, inasmuch as the great question of Aux has been solved by the acquisition of the Blue Bell sulphides I am going to France and Russia consult with my associates and to conclude arrange ments for the enlargement of the plant. Smelling operations at Swan sea will be resumed early in Septem- Der, and I expect by that time to have all arrangements perfected to double the present capacity. Mining is being prosecuted steadily and there is ore in every heading. Sinking is Tn progress to tap the rleh copper deposit that was tapped in several places by diamond drills. During my absence E.

COMMITS CRIME
 TO GET FREE BOARD
iFrom Fridays Daily)

NFTOn frloAyS Dally)
 John SeottO was arrested in the city yesterday by Sheriff Smith on the charge of burglarizing the sec tion house at Ramsgate few days ago and will have his preliminary examination today before Judge Me. Lone. He secured only little of value, and seems to have been aetuated to commit the crime in the hope of get ting free board and lodging for sev- eral months. short time ago he voluntarily appeared at the ,heriff's $ office to surrender, informing the officers that he was wanted in California for committing a serious crime. He was locked up for a few days, when information was received that he was not wanted. He has the appearance of being indolent in habits, and when taken into custody, admitted his guilt and was evidently pleased over accomplishing his object of breaking into jail.
