DEATH IS

Associated Press.
Washington, June 4.-United
States Senator George S. Nixon of
Nevada is dangerously i'll at
hospital here with an attack of
meningitis.
Senate Nixon submitted to an
operation for catarrhal obstruc-
tion last Thursday, and spinal
meningitis developed subsequent
ly. Doubt is expressed at the hos
pital that Senator Nixon will last
through the day.
Senator Nixon, who is repub-
lican, is serving his second term.
He was elected to succeed Will
lam NJ. Stewart for the term be-
ginning March 4, 1905; was re-
nominated without opposition,
and reelected by popular vote or
what is commonly known as the

ers were charged only $40 for re-
frigeration and citrus growers of Cal
ifornia not over S62.5O. Mr.. Dunn
said, in dividing the rate from Sac
ramento to Salt Lake, the Southern
Pacific takes half the entire rate, or
S6S.77 for the short haul of nine
miles for car from Mayhews to
Sacramento, and the Western Pacific
gets the same amount for the haul
from Sacramento to Salt Lake, a dis
tance of 500 miles. If the W. p. can
make money under such an arrange
ment Dunn said he knew no reason
why railroads could not cut the
through rate to 81. The argument
for lower minimum was that fruit
deteriorates when more than $4,000
pounds are placed in a car.

FOUR TO
DIE SOON

Denver. June 4.-During the
next seven months the executioner
at the state penitentiary at Can
on City will be called upon to
put to death four persons. They
are Louis Wechter, who murdered
Clifford Burrows in Denver about
a year ago; George King of Ell
bert county. who killed Peter
jackson; Robert Harris (colored)
of Otero county, for the double
murder of J. b. Craig and Jacob
Ripper at Rocky Ford, and Oscar
Cook, for killing Policeman Nc
Pherson and Saloonkeeper Lloyd,
both of Denver.
In the latter two cases an eff
fort is now being made to have
the death sentences commuted to
life imprisonment, but there is
little hope that this will be done.
This is the largest number of
men, doomed to die, that has been
confined in the state prison at the
same time in many years.
