departments. with the understand
ing that there was to be no discrim-
nation. The matter of union recog-
milton did not enter into the nego-
tiations, nor did it become an issue
until after the strike at Bingham
was inaugurated and Federation Of
ficials and organizers came to the
district and commenced the agita-
ton for union recognition. On this
ISSUE employees in the Ely workings
are divided in their opinion, a large
majority not fayoring a strike, pro-
vided the rate of wage increase ask
ed for is granted.
Action on the official announce
ment by the Nevada Con, of the in
creased wages offered, is still pend
ing, according to the statement made
in the News this morning, by Gen
eral Manager Lakenan, published
elsewhere. Mr.. Lakenan's statement
shows that the company has received
no word from the employees COM
mittee who asked for the increase,
as to whether or not it Is satisfac-
tory. If it is not satisfactory, the
company stands ready to again meet
its employees for a further considera-
ton of the subject, with the POSSIBLE
ity that a satisfactory agreement can
be reached.
President Meyers views are not
in accordance with the advance Of
fered by the company. He demands
recognition and is making his fight
along that line, although avowing
that the Federation is not asking the
company to allow the Federation to
dictate as to whom they shall en-
ploy. Mr.. Meyer also argues for the
necessity of a contract between the
operating companies and the union,
as without such a contract the COM
panies could lower the wages at will.
Mr.. Lakenan's statement would
indicate that the companies are to
deal with the employees only in the
matter CT wage increase, and that he
will rest on the employees petition
now before him. The business in
terests of Ely are unanimous in the
he pc that the wage schedule will be
the only matter which Will come in
the adjustment of this question.
The payrolls of the Nevada Con.
and Steptoe Valley Smelling and
Mining companies approximate
$500 a month. The wage in
crease already offered by the COM
pany and effective october first,
amounts approximately to $4,000 a
month, exclusive of the wage in
crease which will be granted men,

SIN MONTHS FOR sMITHsON.

A plain. ordinary, everyday COW
that wandered about San Pedro was
the cause of BARLEY j. Smithson get
ting in bad with the law, and re-
ceiving a sentence in the district
court. Tuesday. OF six months in the
county Jail, one month to be served
in durance vile, and the remaining
five months on probation. If during
the five months he misbehaves, the
mittimus vii, issue for a return TO
the bastile.
Smithson was indicted by the
grand jury for assault with intent to
kill, the assault having been COM
mitted on the person of o. b. Bart
lett. The trial was set for 10
o'clock, Tuesday morning, but at
that time. counsel for the respon-
dent and the district attorney con
curing, a plea of simple assault was
entered and accepted. Charles A.
Walker, special prosecutor in the
case, also favored ii night sentence,
with suspension. He was employed
by the Amalgamated Nevada Mines
company to push the prosecution
against Smithson, who had got it in
to his head that Bartlett had shot a
COW belonging to him tSmithson,)
and took the law into his OWL hands
by attempting to crack Bartlett's
skull with a revolver. 1t appears
the COW had been complained of as
a nuisance, and rumor had reached
the ears of Smithson. hat Bartlett
had said that If the bovine eontinu-
ed to meander as a nuisance, there
would be a dead COW in San Pedro.
Consequently, when Smithson dis
covered that his COW had been the
target for someone with a gun and
that the shot had penetrated one of
bossy's rear legs, he inferred that
Bartlett vas the COWARD that did
It, and openly accused him of the
deed. Bartlett denied the imputation
as a mi"steak', but Smithson
thought he was beefing, and the as
sault followed as set forth
Smithson was arrested by Sheriff
Nicholson on a complaint sworn to
by f. l.. Haff, the company super
intendent, and James NJ. Lockhart
was retained as attorney for the re-
spondent.
After hearing the testimony and
the opinions of the lawyers engaged
on the case, for and against, Judge
Coleman rendered Smithson a heart
to-heart talk, telling him that the
law provided plenty of resource If
he believed he had been wronged,
and that the people of White Pine
county must get wise to the fact
that they must not take things into
their own hands in case of griev-
ance. but must resort to legal ac-
ton.
Sentence was then pronounced and
Smithson turned over to the sher-
if.
At the conclusion of the Smithson
case, the members of the trial jury
were excused until such a time as
they are notified by the clerk of the
court to again report for duty, on or
about October 10. The only other
case on the docket Is that of Harry
Curtis, charged with an assault on
Jack McFadden. This is a case that
has hung fire for some time. Cur

 Do you mean that Colonel Rooee- welt might bolt if he is unfairly treat ed?" he was asked.
 You may put your own construc- tion on that" he replied. Such a situation is. one that will have to be met when 1t arises. This Is a peo- ple,s movement. The people have plainly indicated whom they want. If the contest decisions are not fair, the people will not sit idly by and see robbery by any political organization when it illustrates the popular will which has been expressed. We hope everything will come out all right, put we are prepared for any SlHer- gency- Whatever the situation iS, we will meet 1t with proper action.
 Preparations for the ipreliminaries in the battle for the Republican Presi- dential nomination were made today. Congressman William R. Mckinley ar rived at his headquarters today to di- rect the Taft side. and Senator Jo- seph M. Dixon. manager for Colonel Roosevelt, will be here tomorrow.
 Charles D. Hflles, secretary to, Pres ident Taft, will be here at the first of the national committee, 
 R., B. Howell. of Omaha, was here to make personal demand for the seat of Victor Roeewater. national committeeman from Nebraska. whom he defeated in the recent primaries. He will be opposed by the Taft mem bers of the committee who are in the majority.
 The latest bit of rumor connected with the talk of Roosevelt bolting if he is not nominated was that the Colonel's supporters obtained an op- tion on the First Regiment Armory. Chicers of the regiment today said they had not heard of any such ac- tiOn.
