A BUDGET OF NEWSY
TEMS FROM LUNING

a big surprise to the district, as the
values found there are very rich in
silver.
j. Nj. Beeler has his camp erected
and an engine installed He is work
ing about men at his mine north oi
Luning, This mine has a strong
showing in silver and copper with
every indication that under strong
iron Gaping big shoot of rich ore
will be uncovered
The Giroux mine is now down
about 900 feet and going ahead
steadily to water. This is one of the
strong mines of the camp and one
that everyone is watching in hopes
that at the water level they will
find the sulphides very strong.
The Shipper and Alameda holdings
on the north of the track are working
about six men. The Shipper is un-
der lease and the Alameda is sinking
on remarkably strong ore body.
This property has all the ear marks
of an early producer and is under
the personal management of James E.
Quinlin.
The big district in New York Can
yon is producing about 25 ton per
day of D to Z per cent copper. There
are about Is men working dfferent
leases there, and all are making good
money. This section has many
draw backs, long distance to the rail
road, hard haul, etc, but it is surely
great deposit of copper ore and
will one day come to the attention oil
mining men who will properly ar
range for its development.
Luning is a sure winner.

SHERIFF DOLAN MURDERED
DASTARDLY OUTRAGE FlTTlNGLY AVENGED BY ENRAGED
CITIZENS OF MONO COUNTY

From various sources we CLEAN the
following details of the murder of
James Dolan, Sheriff of Mono county,
by two MeXicans near Mono Lake
last Monday morning:
Sunday night three Mexicans who
had been around the lake more or
less under the influence of liquor all
day, made their way to the Indian
camps near the Felosina ranch aud
after making themselves obnoxious
there, went to the ranch of a man
named Rogers, close by, where they
proceeded to make rough house.
Rogers beat them away from the
place with shotgun-using it as IA
club. The Mexicans went to the
store run by a man named Duffy and
breaking in, stole arms and ammuni-
tion and returned to the Rogers
place. They set fire to his hay stack,
I thinking this would bring Rogers
out of the house and they could get a
shot at him. Failing in this they
then set fire to his house, but Rogers
was able to get out of his house, into
the brush without beng seen by the
Mexicans. The Mexicans, after de-
stroying considerable property, left.
Rogers got word by telephone to
Sheriff Dulan at Bridgeport who
hurried to the scene in an automobile
driven by Fred Waltz. Both men
were armed with revol vers-the
Sheriff carrying heavy automotic.
Arriving at Rogers place the
Sheriff got the description of the
men AN was told the direction they
had taken. They were followed to
the Hammond place and upon arriv-
ing at Hammonds the men were seen
in the ruAd a short distance ahead
As the MeXieans came out of the
brush into the road, Dolan stepped
toward them and told them to give
themselves up as he was the Sheriff
AS he spoke to them they raised
their weapons and covered him-one
of the AIexicans having rifle and
the other Il revolver, Before Sheriff
Dolan was through speaking, the
bandits fired and as he staggered
and turned, the one with the rifle
| fired second time.
The sheriff did not fall to the
ground but pulled his pistol and at
| tempted to use it but was powereSs
and the weapon dropped to the road.
| Mr.. Waltz ran to his assistance aud
Dolan staggered toward him-the
MeXlcans running again into the
brush Dolan told Waltz that he
WAS shot twice and for him to get
I help. Waltz left the car and ran
down the road toward the old Nve
ranch, meeting traveller who
rushed to the Hammond place and
spread the news.
Mr.. Dolan was carried to the
Hammond place and made as com
Portable as possible, while physicians
were summoned. DR.. Ware of Bridge
port, accompanied by Mrs. Dolau, ar
rived and later DR.. Krebs of Carson.

of Bishop arrived on the scene with
nurses and surgical appliance.
Prior to the arrival of Drs. st.
Clair and O Neil, Drs. Krebs and
Ware had supervised the preparing
of an operating room and upon the
arrival of the other doctors u consul
tation was held and it was decided
that an operation was q necessity
which must be had at once The pa
tient was prepared aud early in the
evening was operated upon, one
large intestine being almost com
pletely severed. Two bullets had
gone entirely through his body and
a third had lodged in the arm, enter
ing at a point above the elbow.
The physicians stayed with the
wounded man during the night and
pulled him through several sinking
spells, but he failed steadily and
passed away during the afternoon.
When the word had been passed
around the ranches adjoining the
Hammond place that the Sheriff had
been Shot, posses were at once
formed and took up the trail of the
murderers. They were found by
Johnny Dondero and A. E. Stromer
but had the drop on their pursuers,
who said they were out hunting cat
tie and mot MeXicans. They were
allowed to 90 their way and soon
joined the main body of the posse
and took up the trail again.
Shortly before five o'clock the
leader of the posse ran upon the men
hiding behind II log near the Craters,
about ten or fifteen miles from the
point where they had shot the Sher-
iff The bandits, when discovered,
had apparently been resting, as one
of them had his shoes off. As the
posse rode up, the Mexcans opened
fire, their first shot striking u young
man named Bristol under the chin
chipping out small piece of flesh
and causing him to drop from his
horse. The other members of the
posse ut once took to covor and one
of the MeXieans took shot at tie
young fellow lying on the ground,
the bullet going lengthwise through
a small can of tobacco which he had
iu his hip pocket. One of tbs Mex
leans raised his head over the tree
trunk to fire at the PROSTATE man
again when Will Harrington sent a
30 30 bullet through his head The
other Mexican commenced rapid
shooting, killing one of the horses OF
the posse and clipping the trees be-
| hind which the men were hiding.
a man from Aurora known, las
Buffalo Bill, got a shot at the Sc
cond Mexican which wounded him
and then volley- ait ,r voley were
fired at the two MeXicans-and the
shooting of Sheriff Dolan was
avenged.
The bodies of The Mexicaus were
taken To the schoolhouse at Crater
where an inquest was held, the ver-
diet being that the MeXicans were
killed by II sherilf's posse while re-
sisting arrest.

HARRISON TO HAVE

 "The first portion of the Ozark Southern Railroad to be constructed will be from Harrison to Parthenon. then south to Hot Springs, but am In deep brown study trying to solve in my own mind which route to pursue from Parthenon to the South. that via Clarksville, then across the river to Scranton thence to Danville and Hot Springs, or via Russellville. I am anxious to keep to the best possi- ble route that will bring us into the coal district, where the tonnage will be the largest and most to be lasting because that figure that the road will get the big tonnage for Northern points, as our Northern extension will be put through to Springfield, Mo. in tlme".

The Danger in Selilshness.

Detroit Free Press.
 The tendency to confuse a selfish evasion of the patriotic duty of sup porting ones country and it's cause be- fore the world with a genuine moral reprobation of war is a genuine dan ger confronting the republic. It is, all things considered, the most serious danger from an international view poit now before the country.
 The United States would in time re- cover from a disastrous war in which 1t was the victim of military unpre- paredness alone, but nothing could save it if a dry rot of selfshness should spread and corrupt the life of the nation until it was saturated with efeminate softness.

 What the fighting is like in the aby- rinth, that vast amazing stretch of al- most intermingling trenches around Arras in northern France, the scene of one of the fiercest series of battles in the history of the world, is thrillingly described by Wythe Williams In a dis patch to the New York Times.

 In many places fin this giant battle field it was impossible for me to say where were the Germans and where the French, so completely was I turn ed around on account of the constant zigZag of the trench lines. Sometimes the direction of the French I was haul ed back by officers, who told me 1 was heading into the German line

From the Glope-DeinocraI'
 When the observance of the anniver- .orv of the birth Stars and Stripes ,ros first suggested, there were some .hiections. because of the nearness of the date to Decoration Day and the rourth of July. But the advocates of Flag Day persisted, showing that each # tbe other anniversaries had a sigifi- .once distinctly different from the eel obration of the flag itself. The observ- orce of the 137th anniversary today i. to be more general than ever before. In St. Louis the largest flag in the CO., rntry is to be presented to the city, at exercises in City Hall Park. The street cars will pause for short time. The schools will take a patriotic pledge and all citizens are asked to salute the colors with uncovered heads while the church bells ring and the whistles blow. At sunrise the battery at Jeff orson Barracks will fire 21 guns. There is a special this year why every American citizen should take special Oride in his flag and all that it sym bolizes. While so much of the civil jzed world is plunged into carnage we have peace, peace which is due to our high ideals, ideals which our neighbors respect.

MAIN POINTS IN DECISION THAT STEEL COMPANY
 IS NO TRUST.

In the suit brought by the gov ernment against the United States Steel corporation the fed eral court decided that:
 The corporation had not viOlat- ed the sherman law.
 It deserved the commendation of the public for fair dealing.
 Mere bigness of business does not constitute trust.
 The famous Gary dinners were unlawful, but had been dis continued.
 President Roosevelt was justi- fled in refusing to interfere with the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company. the ab- sorption being legal
 Andrew Carnegie Is eXonerated from illegal participation in the sale of the Carnegie company.
 In ten years the steel company had increased its business about 10 per cent, but nine great com peting companies had increased from 63 to 3,709 per cent.
 And the field of enterprise was as open to competition as before the corporation was formed.
 Suit was filed Oct. 20, 1911.
 Hearings began May 6, 1912.
 Suit argued fin October, 1914.
