FAILING HEALTH
GAINS RELEASE
q. Il. NELSON, WHO KILLED MAN
At STAR POINTER FIVE YEARS
AGO, RECEIVES PARDON FROM
STATE PENITENTIARY.

After four years of involuntary
confinement behind prison bars for
the murder of B. II. Klink in saloon
at Star Pointer in May 1910, o. b.
Nelson Is free man. He was releas-
ed two weeks ago by the board of par
dons. Failing health is said to have
prompted the granting of pardon to
the murderer.
Nelson has been suffering from
consumption, since he was admitted
to the states penal institution. He
has been an inmate of the prison hos
pital for the last twelve months and
the authorities felt the issuance of a
pardon would be a potent factor in
prolonging his life. The plea of Nell
son that he be allowed his liberty was
considered at a special session of the
board. Nelson is said to be some
where in the east at the present time,
where he hopes that change of eli
mate will prove beneficial to his
shattered health.
The killing of Klink is said TO have
been unprovoked. He had been drink
iLS in the Star Pointer club. where
Nelson was tending bar for his broth
er, Harry. on the night Of the tragedy.
Klink did not display a disposition TO
be quarrelsome. according to testi-
Iaony brought out at the corners in
quest.
Klnk had accidently broken a
& ass at the top of a cigar case in the
saloon. but was willing TO reimburse
Nelson for the resultant damage. The
deceased had made the rounds of the
different resorts at Star Pointer, and
later returned to Nelson s place. He
was leaning on the cigar case. and
put his hand through the broken part
of the cigar case. Nelson, who was
standing at the other end of the bar,
pulled a revolver on the helpless
youth, and shot him down without
warning. 1t was the general i'm
preston that Nelson was mentally
unbalanced at the time the shooting
occurred.
The defendant was indicted by the
grand jury on a charge of murder.
When his trial was called in the dis
triet court, his request that he be per-
mitted to withdraw his plea of not
guilty to murder and admit his guilt
to charge of manslaug ghter was
granted Nelsoon was sentenced TO
ten years in the penitetiary.

MORRIS ROBERTS NAMED
As POSTMASTER AT RUTH

Morris Roberts has been designat-
ed by the postmaster general as post
master at Ruth, according to a tele-
gram received last night from Wash
ington by C. j. Morris from p. S.
F'insler, private secretary for United
States Senator Key Pittman.
The fight for the postm astership at
the mines has absorbed all other
happenings in the district during the
last three weeks. The successful can
didate felt for time that he had
been quietly deposited in the discard,
but stalwart Democrats came to his
rescue, and removed him from the
realm of uncertainty.
The new postmaster has been a
resident of Ely for sixteen years, and
has devoted his energies largely to
mining He was chairman of the
Democratic county central commit
tee during the campaign of 1912.

THREE MEN INJURED
THROUGH CAVE N

Three men who were engaged In
exeavating for garage in the rear OF
o. q. Bates residence on Murry street
last Thursday afternoon had a mi
raculous escape from death, when
they were buried under the crash OF
several tons of falling tagging and
gravel
L. A. Peterson vas seriously in
jured. He was inferred under about
four feet of debris, and it was sew
eral minutes before the reseuing par
ties could determine the exact spot
where the dirt and gravel had fallen
upon him.
Neighbors were busy in the wreck
age trying to uncover his body, and
after twenty minutes Peterson was re-
moved bleding and unconscious. His
head was found between a couple of
tagging. and this is supposed to have
saved his life. He was taken to the
county hospital, and was irrational
until Friday morning II is feared
that he may be suffering from con-
cussion of the brain.
Joe Flate was the first to be un-
covered. His injuries are of minor
nature. He has a long scalp wound
on his head, and bruises about the
body
The presence of "A dump wagon in
the cut Is all that saved the life of
Jimmie Kelly. When the streak of
gravel and timber gave way IT was
precipitated on the wagon and some
OF the timbers were intercepted
against the walls thus allowing Kelly
TO miss death by narrow margin.
Realizing that the accident had not
claimed MIN as victim, Kelly began
| to assist in rescuing his comrades.
Flate was able to advise the rescuers
as to the exact spot. where he had
| been enttombed, and 1t was not long
before he was taken to haven OF
safety. Kelly also took an active part
in locating the spot where Petersen
had been caught by the avala niche Of
dirt and debris.
The contract for the excavation had
been awarded to H. C. F. Brown but
he was not present when the acciden,
occurred.
