SEPARATE ELECTORS FOR
THE BULL MOOSE TICKET
Committee Decides to Have lndepend-
ent National Ticket in
West Virginia

Charleston. Sept. s. By the unani
nous vote Of the Progressive state
committee assembled here Tusday
night, the Roosevelt supporters IN
West Virginia took the initiative in
asking for separate electors on the
Republican and Progressive tickets
The committee adopted a resolution
10 give to every citizen Of the state
the opportunity to know for whom he
is voting.
Although the campaign committee
Of the Progressiyes was empowered
at former meeting to settle the cleo
toral voting, Chairman w M o. Daw-
son secured quorum Of the state
committee Tuesday night and placed
the question directly before the com
mitteemen. The state committee was
advised that the Roosevelt national
committee had taken stand for sepa-
rate electors and that several days
ago. when the Republican state chair
man, James s. Lakn visited New
York that National Chairman Charles
D. Hilles, acting for President Taft,
had also asked for separate electors.
Chairman Dawson, Col l. Schwade,
Grant p. Hall and other members OF
the committee all expressed chem
selves favorable to separate electors.
Chairman Dawson asserted that he
believed it right both from a political
and moral standpoint Politically he
declared the standing of the Progress
sive party in West Virginia was at
stake, while morally he contended
that il was only Just that each voter
should be allowed to cast his vote for
his favorite presidential candidate
and he asserted that he had been in
formed that many of the supporters of
President Taft had declared that un-
less they were given the opportunity
to cast their votes for electors who
would support President Taft that
they would vote for the Wilson cleo
tors.
George c. Mcintosh offered the fol-
lowing resolution which was adopted
by unanimous vote:
ITO the end that every citizen of
the State may have the opportunity
of knowing exactly for whom he votes
for president and vice president, re-
solved that the campaign committee
of the Progressive party be directed
to name as candidates for presiden-
tial electors from the several districts
and at large. men who are known ad-
herents of Roosevelt and Johnson for
president and vice president, and who
shall vote for them"
Chairman Dawson explained TO the
committee that already he had the
designations of three of the eight
presidential electors, while more were
expected Three of the electors he said
were for President Taft, and would
probably remain on the Republican
ticket.
He was instructed to place those
electors who withdrew from the Re
publican ticket and who were support
ers OF Roosevelt and johnson on the
Progressive ticket.
The meeting OF the committee was
enlivened with the appearance OF q
committee of regular Republicans
from Fayette county, who asked the
Endorsement of the regular Republican
county ticket.

includes 1892 tons left from the pre-
ceding day, or a grand total of 49,

unloaded by the Nevada Northern
railroad, and treated at the mill. 1t
is new record all around, represent
ing the largest amount of ore hand
led by the railroad in a day, and
record for the concentration, the
amount being approximately two
thousand tons in excess of any pre-
enormity of the figures is almost
beyond comprehension, and high
ly satisfactory to the management as
indicative of the amount of busi-
ness being done and the facilities
for doing it,
No special plans had been made to
mark up a record, which makes the
incident all the more noticeable as
showing the perfect system employed
and the cooperation in all depart
ment whereby ore is handled from
the mines to the mill more than
twenty miles away. No better illus
tration could be had of the con-
ditions contributing to the present
and future prosperity of Ely and
its immense copper producing and

FATAL STABB|NG
ROW At VETERAN
KNIFE AND GUN FIGURE IN
DEATH OF JO. OKLOBGA AND
SERIOUS SHOOTING OF JOE
MARAVICH.

One man dead and another
seriously wounded was the outcome
of a fight in bunk house at the
Veteran, about ten o'clock, Wednes-
day night. The man killed was
Jack Oklobga, an Austrian employ
ed in the Veteran mine, while the
wounded victim is Joe Maravich
who stabbed OkloDga to death.
Marayich's injuries were caused by
bullets fired by some one at present
unknown, in the fraeas that attend
ed the fight between Marayich and
Oklobga. Maravich is at the county
hospital, where chances for his re-
.covery are about even. He was shot
twice, one bullet entering his body
near the right shoulder and believed
to be lodged in the right pleural
cavity. The other bullet lodged
under the right knee cap.
oklobga survived the fearful
slashing administered by Maravich,
about three hours, his wounds being
of a horrible nature. His body was
nearly severed by a cut across the
small of his back, ten inches In
length and so deep did the knife
penetrate that the mans kidneys
protruded from the wound. There
were also cuts of a minor nature.
Soon after the stabbing Oklobga was
removed to the Giroux emergency
hospital, and attended by DIR. c. E.
Early. but there was nothing that
could be done to save his life, and
he died in about three hours. The
body was later removed to the Neyin
& Graham undertaking rooms in
Ely.
Wednesday nights trouble was
the outome of a six months feud
between the two men, said to have
resulted from a card game. during
which Oklobga was accused of
striking Maravieh over the head
with a revolver. Both men were
arrested, but the evidence was of
such a conflicting nature, that the
case was dismissed.
The feud thus started has since
continued. and Wednesday night
Marayich went to the bunk house
with the intention of giving Oklob-
ga his finish.
In a statement to the officers he
stated that Oklobga was a danger
Gus man and that 1t was case of
killing him or being killed by him.
The weapon used by Maravich was
a pocket knife with long blade.
After mortally wounding Oklobga.
Maravich went to his cabin, where
he was arrested latter by Deputy
Sheriff Moorman. and upon the
arrival of Oficers Jackson and Mil
lick from Ely. who made the trip to
the Veteran in George letters auto
mobile. he was removed to the coun-
ty hospital.
The man killed bore the nick
name of "Butcher-knife John, and
a year ago last December he made a
murderous attack upon another As
trian at Copper Flat, with a butcher
knife. He was In Jail for this for
about five months. but was dismiss
ed by the grand jury, the prosecut-
ing witness having left the state.

day morning, funeral services in
