PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT.

STORY OF THE WEEK
SHOWING THE PROGRESS OF
EVENTS IN QUE OWN AND
FOREIGN LANDS.
WESTERN.

Three masked men entered a saloon
at Inlay, shot the owner dead and
wounded his wife in the back. She
Is believed to be fatally injured. The
robbers took $1,000 in cash and de-
parted.
A small part Of human body was
found quarter of mile from the
scene of the disastrous explosion in
the smelter Stag dump near Ell Paso.
This Is the first trace found of the
three men known to have been in the
wrecked tunnel.
Hungry and thirsty, but otherwise
unharmed, nine miners. entombed for
twenty hours two miles under ground
in the Morning mine, at Wallace,
Idaho, were reached and given food
and water through small opening
by the untiring efforts of rescuers.
1t has been figured up in Los An.
geles that Jim Jeffries Is worth about
S27j,OOO. invested in real estate and
farm lands. Jeffries. 1t is said, is
through with public exhibitions of any
kind, and from now on he will lead
the life of moneyed man.
The grand jury in the Los Angeles
Times explosion case returned twenty
two indictments. All of the indict-
ments charge murder or connection
with that crime. 1t is not likely that
the names of any of the indicted per.
sons will be made public until after
arrests have been made. 1t Is be-
leved large number of San Fran.
ciscans have been indicted. Whole.
sale murder the outcome of dyna-
mite plot, is understood to be the
charge set forth in all the indict.
ments, but 1t Is believed not more
than three or four men are named in
the true bills.

EUMORS SAY STATE WILL NOT
GET FEDERAL JUDGE.
SHIP.
FOR SEVERAL REASONS
NORTH DAKOTA MAN SEEMS
NOW TO BE FIRST
CHOICE.

Observation-Disclosures will not get
the place left vacant in the Circuit
Court of the United States through
the elevation of Justice Van Devan-
ter to the Supreme Bench. This for
several reasons: In the first place
Colorado failed to return to the Re-
publican column, and party govern
ment must take recognition of such
Olitical incidences. In the next place
the appointment is to 60 to men,
ber of the Federal District Bench
an elevation.
Judge r. +. Lewis of Colorado has
not served long enough to be eligible
and certain decisions of his, rendered
with respect to the uses or abuses of
public lands, are not popular in quar-
ters which have influence at the
White House.
Colorado being out of the race, or
almost so, Judge Charles F. Amidon
Of North Dakota, federal Judge,
seems to be first choice, with Judge
Marshall Of Utah, also on the Federal
Bench, second. The latter is a Dem.
ocrat, and his elevation might. intro
duce church politics into the matter.
1t may be of moment to know that
Judge Bliss of the District Court of
Denver came close to securing the
position, as two of his close friends
are in the Taft Kitchen cabinet
This would have been something of a
surprise TO the Denver man himself,
as he was not an active participant.
On account OF the demahds for
economy in all federal affairs, the
Iluning knife being actively at work,
Il second Judge for the Federal bench
in Colorado is not in prospect at the
present session. The claim of the
state Is recognized, but economy is
the demand.
1t will be pleasing to his many
friends to know that United States
Marshal D. G. Bailey will be reap
POINTED without opposition. 1t is eX
pected that his nomination will go tc
the United States Senate any day
now. He has made good record and
his friends are many at Washington
This will be third term for him.
His friends expect him to break
II. however, and to retire to become a
candidate for mayor in about fifteen
months.
Receiver Lambert and Register Alb
hey of the Pueblo land office retire
soon. Neither is candidate for re-
appointment. Colonel Lambert is well
up in years and is not in need of the
salary And the same holds good as
to the others. There are twenty to
thirty applicants for the places from
that district.
