FOR SEDUC,
TION OF SISTER R-IN-LAW

SALINA, Kas., Sept. 14.-Before
evening George Cievenger, farmer,
formerly residing two miles east of
kipp but now living near Mcpherson,
will be in the Saline county Jail charg-
ed with being the seducer of his 10
year-od sister-in-law and the father
of her child. The young girl came
to Salina this morning from Hope
where she is now staying, with some
old man whose name the officers fail
ed to learn, and here she told the story
Of her wrongs to the county attor-
ney.
1t is story of the mans atten-
tion to his wife's sister since she was
IL years old. All the time his wife
was kept in ignorance of what was
going on, until last Sunday when the
girl broke down and told her sister
all and of how she had maintained
silence on account of Clevenger's
threats of death to her If she told.
The two women after the girls con-
fession kept indoors until Clevenger
went out to the melon patch when
they hurried to a neighbor's house,
fearing violence If he knew what had
been told. The neighbors took them
in and the wife went to relatives at
Window at once while the girl went
to Hope as soon as the officers Of
Mcpherson county had been notified.
They came out to the farm, arrested
Clevenger and are now holding him
until Sheriff Burke and Undersheriff
Swanson of Saline county arrive.

La PLATA ORES
OCCUR IN SHOOTS
(By Frank McQ. Hartman.)

LA PLATA, Colo, Sept. 1S.-The
La Plata mining district having pass
ed beyond the period of doubt to the
stage of permanent production, it is
more than ever desirable that the
section should have conservative pub
Lefty. Serious lessons have been
learned in all the great boom camps,
from the early mining boom of Cali
fornia to the present time.
1t is easy to see now that more
conservative action which would have
been followed by more conservative
publicity, would have been better for
mining and for every human interest
that was valid and legitimate. It is
true that there has not been at any
time during the past thirty eight
years, since the first reported discov-
cry Of gold in the La Plata district,
a disposition manifest by the min
ing people there to have an unwar-
ranted or uncalled for boom.
The situation today is inviting to
good practical mining men who would
lease or purchase. Many good men
who have made good in one or more of
the other mining districts, have failed
in the La Plata district, and some Of
them damned the district to save their
own regulations. The writer has seen
much Of the mining area from British
Columbia into Old Mexico, and can
not liken any other geological struc-
ture to that of the La Platas. One
OF the causes Of failure has been the
too prevalent inclination Of prospec-
tors and operators to insist that new
and entirly different situation from
any they ever knew should be like
something else they had known. II
is field in which all the good ones
can learn something Of structural and
economic geology, and the Joplin say
ing that lone man can see as fur in
q rock as another" will not help much.
The greater quantities of valuable
ores in the La Plata district occur in

She had been born In good circum

College. All her life. she had been

child Of a Boston banker, she lived In
al environment OF tranquil ease that
seemed her permanent heritage In
life. Her father and mother died
within year Of each other. during
the stress OF financial panic. Whom

sioner as secretary.

that If she took the jewels. It must

concluded that her birth, her breeding,
all the training of her life placed her
above any such temptation; and when
he entered HIS home to study the case

Miss Holcomb was guiltless of the

shoots, much the same as In the Sill
verton district, except that there is
more uniformity as to the nature Of
the shoots in the latter district. The
La Platas have the diorites, Silverton
the andcsites, La Plata the greater
gold values, Silverton the greater lead
land silver values.
So far as development has shown
in the La Plata district, the occur
renee of ore shoots has not been alike
in any two mines. One of the sin
gular features shown by development
has been the closing of the vein struc-
turc to the simple seam or line frac-
ture, for distance Of eighty feet.
Stopping above a level accidentally dis

There is no economic geological con-
dition or combination associated with
ore production, in one mine or locality
that will insure or occurrence in an

logical combinations in the district,
which have not been associated with

by development, so, the quarry miner
may at once find something bewild-

Fault lines in various degrees of
dcph and continuity, have had much
to do with the disposition of ore, and
these faults or faultlets have refused
to observe any special degree of uni
formity.
Mining people continue to come in
from various mining sections, to i'm
vestigate opportunity, and prospect
ing is more general throughout the
district than at any former time. II
is to be hoped that the Idaho and May
Day mines, closed through litigation,
may be able to resume operation after
the October term of the district court,
as their production of values to the
quantity has not been matched by any
other gold camp.---Denver Post.

BETTER DEAD.

ATCHISON, Sept. - Henry Q.
Gumbel is in luck. He had been car
ried swiftly away by the man on the
white horse, before his love letters
from a married woman appeared in
print. To be sure he had four bullet
holes in him before the man on the
white horse picked him up. But he
is in luck anyway. The married wom-
an who wrote the letters is Mrs. Rob-
ort F. Curtis Of Kansas City, and the
bullet holes Gumbel carried with him
to his grave were inflicted by her
husband. Here is u sample of some
OF the love letters appearing in the
papers from Mrs. Curtis to the un-
fortunate Mr.. Gumbel: "You are my
own brave little man, and while not
much on the Sandow order, am sure
you could take licking like a gen.

in California to adopt amend
ments to the state constitution
Of that state The Initiative,
Referendum and Recall measures
were carried by large maiorities,
but the Woman Suffrage amend
ment had a very small majority
in it's favor. Some moss-backs

California has been longknown

number OF safety valves, damp
ers, etc, the good lady Of the

lighted"
So with the editor. He has to
"make good" Most communi-
ties viii take him upon probation
as a pretty good fellow, with a
mental reservation as to the
draft (wind), the hampers, the
internal makeup and abilities in
general. And that's all the writ
er asks at present.
We have come to Silver to stay.
We have brought our household
lares and penates and ask the
hearty support OF community
always reputed as second to none
in Idaho. We want to get ac-
quainted with every man, wom-
an, child, chicken and dog in
Silver City and Owyhee County.
We want to know your wants,
ambitions and requirements and
then we want to do our utmost
to further those interests, know
ing that therein lies the path to
our own advancement.
All OF our time, attention and
abilities will be centered on the
Nugget and it's constituency and
we shall endeavor to give you as
good paper as Brother Fegtly
has done in the past.

tory, the new editor makes his

QUITE DIFFERENT. you
KNOW.

We learn from the Statesman
OF Sunday that prominent So
ciety woman Of that city was
caught Saturday evening shop
lifting, actually with the goods
in her possession. The merchant
refused to prosecute and nocom-
plant was made, therefore her
name has been suppressed. Her
POSITION as a PROMINENT SOCIETY
WOMAN has turned her from a
common thief into a KLEPTo-
MANIAC. 1t would have been
quite different, you know, il she
had been some poor woman,
mother Of children whom she was
forced to support, She would
have been locked in jail and her
name given to the scandal mon
gers for a sweet, Sunday morn
ing breakfast morsel, and her
children would have been taken
from her by the. PATERNAL court
and raised in a hurly-burly or
phan asylum.
In reality it is much more es-
sential to the moral well-being
Of Boise, or any other commun-
ity, that her rich and prominent
wrong-doers be brought to book
for their crimes, than it is that
the poor should suffer, for there
is a possible temptation to the
disciple Of poverty, that cannot
exist with the HIGHER classes.
And, really, the world has much
more to fear from the rich or
4 prominent criminal than from
the poorer brother, for poverty
is WATCHED with suspicion and
has access to very little that is
worth carrying off.
The Statesman would do well
to protect honest folk by finding
out the name OF this thief and
publishing it to the world.-New
Time.
Brother Talbot is one after
our own heart, and the above
article has the true ring. Wedo
not uphold the publication OF
scandle or sensational accounts
just to catch the favor Of the
public and feed the greed Of the
curious; but we do believe in
equal justice to all; rich and poor
alike. The rich, or comfortably
situated person who will stoop
to petty pilfering should bemore
severely dealtwith than hepoor,
unfortunate person who does
such acts from actual need.
We are thankful, however, that
there are Judges, Governors,
and others in various walks OF
life that are doing their utmost
to correct the maladministration
