A True Friend of Labor.

Railroaders in Nevada recall the
great struggle of the a. r. T. to main
tain its existence in 1894. when all the
power of the Central Pacific was en-
ployed to crush it. That was the par
amount issue of the strike OF that
year The leaders of the A. r. u.
were hailed before the federal courts,
charged with the destruction OF cul
verts along the line OF the railroad
thereby delaying the arrival of Uni
ted States troops at the scene of the
trouble. The railroadmens' organiza
ton was poor, is leaders penniless,
and they needed counsel. A young
lawyer of Elko county was employed
and he battled brilliantly against the
array of leading lawyers of he west.
The railroad men were acquitted, and
that young awyer received s. day
for his services, the amount Of his ho-
tel bill

HUGH L stokes KILLED.
Accidentally Shoots Himself
While I'm Office at Florence.

| - OAA&~~ - - 80
Florence, December Hugh
Lawrence Stokes was the victim OF
the accidental discharge of pistol
in his own hands last night, is the
verdict of the Coroner's jury of in
quest today over the body of this
very bright and popular young man.
The facts in the case, as brought
out by the jury, were that the young
man was in the office of the electric
light company. about half past 8 in
the evening and that Mr. Cahill, the
bookkeeper, came in from Marion,
where he had been to look after mat
ters connected with the plant there.
Mr. Cahill took up the pistol that
he generally carries with him when
going home late at night, and load
ed it; he thought that Mr. Stokes
saw him do it. Mr. Stokes at the
time was playing with another pistol
in the office. Mr. Cahill turned his
back to put the books and papers
that be had brought from Marion in
the safe, and later heard a shot. He
saw Mr. Stokes with the pistol he had
just loaded. The young man stood
for a brief period and then with his
help staggered to. chair and said.
Send for a DOCTOR" He ran to the
door and hailed the first passer-by,
and returned to the wounded man
and tried to see where he was hurt,
but the boy kept his hand tightly
over the place.
Several doctors came in a few
minutes, DR. Smyser, DR. Allen and
others, and Mr. Stokes was hurried
to the infirmary, where it was seen
that the wound was a very danger
Gus one. A message was sent to his
father, DIP W S Stokes of Lake City,
who, with the boys mother and bro
ther, hurried through the country in
an automobile, arriving shortly after
l10 o'clock.
The dying boy was conscious after
the arrival Of his mother and father
and brother, and spoke to them.
He told DR. Mcleod that the shoot
ing was accidental, but did not go
into the particulars.
Other testimony showed that the
boy had been I'M crested in pist Dis
good deal of late, swapping one at
the office and playing with it, rather
through an interest in the mechan-
ism than anything else.
Hugh Stokes was a bright, sunny
boy. 10 years of age, sweet in temper.
disposition and manner, and a gen
eral favorite. He had not been in
Florence long, but he was rapidly
moving forward in the employ Of
the electric light company. and had
recently been sent over to Marion to
do some of the work that Mr. Cahill
had not had the time to do and he
had done it well, and was highly
thought of by the local officers of
the company.
He was son of DR. and Mrs w s
Stokes, and was born at Winnsboro,
and had attended college for one
term at the University in Columbia.
The body was taken to Lake City
this afternoon for interment tomor-
row.
The wound is very much such a one
as would be made by the discharge
of pistol had the young man been
breaking" it, the ball cutting the
intestines.

OLYMPIC CANES ARE
FINANCIAL FAILURE

Stockholm, Sweden, Oct 5.-The
Olympic games were great financial
failure. not less than $4,000 having
been lost by the organizers, accord
ing to the final auditing Of the ac-
counts.
From the standpoint of good sport
the games were acknowledged to have
been well conducted Good order and
system were characteristic Of the pro-
gram from day to day. But this good
management meant heavy cost and the
promoters of the affair find them
selves facing this great deficit. This
amount does not include the cost Of
the stadium.
The whole income from the stadium,
including season tickets, was slightly
more than $270.000. On the day of the
Marathon $22,7S8 was taken in at the
gates and adding to this the season
tickets for that day the income was
$34,12S, which Is the largest sum ever
taken In Sweden for a public affair.
Sweden Is not disheartened by the
deficit. as 1t was expected from the
start and the country feels well repaid
In having shown the world the high
degree OF her craftsmanship and man.

of these endeavors and It is consid-
