to be added to the capitalization of

JURY duplicates ROBERTS
Arrives at This Verdict at North
Platte in Comet Murder
Case.
THREE PERSONS ARE INVOLVED

NORTH PLATTE, Neb.. Jan. 15.-CSpe-
cial Telegram.)-A coroner's inquest was
held today to ascertain the cause Of death
Of Vernon Connect, whose body was
found south of Sutherland Wednesday.
The body was found to have three marks
Of heavy blows with a hammer on the
forehead. each of which went through
the skull.
Two broters of the deceased, Il. j. Con-
nett Of Chillicothe, ILL.,. and 1. f. Con-
nett OF Edgar, Neb., arrived last evening
and positively identified the body by the
hair, teeth, colthing and other points OF
Identification.
From testimony taken before the icor-
oner's jury today it appears that l. T..
Trout secured the confession of Roy Rob
crts at the penitentiary Tuesday, in
which Roberts claimed that Charles Clay
ton killed Connect by striking him on
the head with a hammer on August 2;
that they together buried II where II was
found in the river one mile south of
Sutherland.
Roberts said that he and Clayton
planned the murder to get Connect $
team and sell it, Roberts and Clayton
have made so many different statements
about the murder that authorities here
are of the opinion that Connect was muir
dered both by Roberts and Clayton, al
though each now blames the other
The coroner's verdict is that Connect
met death at the hands of Roy Roberts
by being struck with hammer on the
head and that Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Clay
ton had guilty knowledge of the crime.

FEES GO TO The TREASURER

PROVIDES MORE CASH ON HAND
Iron 3 SOD CorrcsrondentN

tFrom Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Jan. 1S,-(Special) - Al
though impossible to follow strictly the
letter Of the law as recently interpreted
by Attorney General Reed. requiring the
payment OF all fees direct to the state
treasurer, Secretary OF state Pool will
do his best to comply with the spirit Of
the Jaw
All cash coming into the office will he
taken at once TO the state treasurer and
a receipt for the same secured before the
fee goes on Secretary Pools books and
before the applicant is issued his permit
or papers. In this way the secretary
will act as an agent for the person pay
ing the fees.
The money could 30 sent back 10 the
person paying It with instructions to send
1t into the treasurer's office and pro
cure a receipt and to forward the latter.
This. however, would be great incon-
venienoc to everybody concerned.
The object of the ruling is attained in
that that state treasurer will receive the
cash as il comes in. Heretofore the sec
retary OF state has kept all moneys COM
ing in until the end of the month,
depositing II in the interim with banks.
Tho additional cash is greatly needed In
the trcasurer's office to meet the state S
current obligations. In the secretary of
states office The fees received amount
to from Sl,S00 to $4,000 month.

Event In American History.

November "a, 1853, marked the
evacuation and destruction OF Fcrt
Duquesne. A short time previous tc
this the British had initiated the worn
OF fortification. The French, coming
down the Allegheny river from 'heil
forts on and near Lake Erie, made Q
sudden descent on the small British
garrison, and the latter was forced q
surrender unconditionally. The French
and their Indian allies completed the
fortification and called It Fort Du
quesne. A British force commanded
by General Forbes was sent from the
east to retake the fertilization, and
doubtlessly would have succeeded
without the loss OF man had 1t moi
been for the impetuous Captain Grant
The fort was blown up while the mair
force was yet ten miles east OF the
site OF the future great city. They
heard great explosion, saw volumes
OF smoke, and realized at once that
the French and Indians had destroyed
the little fertilization and had take
to the woods and the rivers.

HONOR is FREMONT'S
PATHFINDER" CREDITED WITH
NAMING GOLDEN GATE"
First Gave It AppeIlatlon of "Chrys.
opoIae," Foreseelng That It Would
outrlval Famous Golden Horn
of Byzantium.

The name given to the entrance OF
the bay of San Francisco was not sug-
gested, as is sometimes assumed, by
the discovery of gold in California,
although its bestowal occurred nearly
concurrently with that event.
So far as we know, the first per-
sons to enter the harbor through the
Golden Gate were the crew of vessel
commanded by Lieutenant Juan Manu-
ell de Ayala Of the Spanish royal navy,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
This was on. August s, ITS. They
were shortly afterward followed by
Bruno Heceta, who was under orders
to cooperate with Juan Bautista de
Anza, who had been dispatched on the
bay of San Francisco. Heceta sailed
from San Diego, and, after a protract.
ed voyage, arrived in the harbor and
laid tho foundations of Fort Point.
So far as written records are con-
cerned, they are silent on the subject
of naming the entrance, and 1t is prob
able that no one took the trouble to
apply a particular designation to It,
although the islands and points about
the bay were promptly supplied with
appellations. De Ayala is credited with
giving to what we call Angel island
the name Of Isla de los Angeles, but
he forgot to christen the opening
which gave access to 1t from the
Pacific.
Numerous vessels passed through
the entrance during the period be.
tween the foundation OF the mission
of San Francisco and the American
occupation in 1916, but there is no
intimation In the records which cap.
tains or their crews have left for US
that 1t had been named. The opening
and the bay were described by several
shippers, and particular points were
| referred to in a manner that makes
then recognizable, but no one seemed
to think that II was necessary to con.
fer name on the front door of the
harbor, whose beauties and import.
ance they extolled, until an American
thought It worth his while to do 80.
To John c. Fremont belongs the
honor of comforting the appellation
Golden Gate, but curiously enough, in
accordance with the tendency which
had not yet run its course, he called
1t "Chrysopolae." This designation
appears on the map OF Oregon and
California which accompanied the
geographical memoirs published by
him in 1S4S.
These memoirs were written before
the discovery of gold at Suffers mill,
which was made In the same year,
and in them Fremont took pains to
make clear why he had selected the
Greek title. Like all the discerning
pioneers, he was profoundly impressed
with the belief that the harbor would
one day bear a great commerce on its
waters, and that it would outrival
Chrysoceros, the Golden Horn Of
Byzantium.
The pioneers accepted the name,
but promptly converted 1t into Eng
lish, and doubtlessly many OF them
who had no acquaintance with the
geographical memoirs of Fremont
imagined that It was the steady
stream Of gold passing through the
portal which suggested the happy
title.
