LOVE AFFAIR
New York, Jan. 30.-How hun
dreds of lives were endangered when
a moving picture theater was soaked
with kerosene and fired and a bomb
later placed in the hallway of a
crowded tenement that the gang
leader might obtain vengeance for in
reference in love affair was told to
detectives and representatives from
the district attorneys Office.
Alfred Lehman, Anthony Sadaitys
and Rocco Pucciarello, who have
confessed to having planted scores
of bombs and committed numerous
other crimes, told the story.

DIFFICULTIES IN CALIFORNIA

The l. w. W.s are meeting with
hard luck on their journey to Wash
ngton. To get rid of the organized
hand of. vagrants, citizens of Oakland
raised a sum of money sufficient for
the purpose and bought railroad
tickets for the "army' to Sacra-
mento. tn the state capital they
made camp on the Southern Pacific
right-of way, and upon being ordered
by agents of the company to leave, re-
fused to do so. The fire department
was called out, and with the aid of
police and deputy sheriffs succeeded
in driving the mob across the river.
1t is not probable that the "army"
will ever reach Winnemucca as a
body. Governor Oddie has sent a
protest to Governor johnson, of Cali
fornia, against dumping the men on
Nevada, and even should they go
through by train, they will not be
permitted tc land. These vagrants
will be obliged to stop some time, and
should be dispersed by the California
authorities.

MINING DIAMONDS
BY MODERN METHODS

Machinery and barbed wire have
supplanted the crude methods of
breaking up diamond bearing blue
earth and protecting the valuable
finds employed twenty years ago in
the South African diamond mines.

Magazine. The depths of the strange
crater-shaped hole in which the peeu-
liar diamond bearing earth is confined,
is now penetrated by shafts, reaching
hundreds Of feet down into the earth,
with 40-foot levels. The broken
earth is removed in closed trucks to
the surface, where, after season of
exposure to sun and atmosphere,
strewn on the ground, it is hauled to
the mills. Here pulsators finally To-

amount to award the workers. This
will be spread over the whole year
and paid on the regular semi-monthly

'tThe factory is now working two
shifts of nine hours each. This will
be changed to three shifts of eight
hours each. The number employed is
now about $4,000 and this will be in
creased by 1000 or 5000. The men

from Is to % years of age may be
entitled to a share in the profits, he
must show himself sober, saving,

Why Not?

The matter OF electric lights is again
being discussed by our people. The
plan now most favored is the securing
OF current from Red Cloud for the
purpose. To this end it is probable
that the city fathers will make a trip
to Red Cloud and learn il it is possible
to buy current from them. Ii posi-
BILE, then 1t will mean that in case
lights are demanded by the people,
that twenty four hour service will
be given. This is preferable over any
other plan. To build line and install
such plant from Red Cloud would
cost about $4,000. OF course the CITY
can not bond itself for over $1,000 at
the outside. Then again the law is
such that the city cannot go outside
the corporote limits to eSpend the
money. 1t therefore necessitates a
holding company or an intermediary
firm to buy from Red Cloud the eur.
rent and transport it To Rivcrton,
where we can. buy It and invest out
money in the lines and machinery at
This end of the line. For this purpose
only four or five thousand dollars
would be necessary. The intermedi
airy company would be limited to II
reasonable rate of interest on their
investments with no other rights of
earnings The consulting engineer

months it takes as high as $50 worth

The saving there would prove of no
small matter for the years TO come,
That Riverton needs electric lights
and that they are coming soon, there
can be no question: Riverton Review.
