United States, where practically every
western representative, be he Republi-
can o. Democrat, isputting on his fight
ing togs to kill this, the first of the
conservation" or land leasing leasing
bills. However. it will be . bitter fight,
for not only has the propaganda, csrri-
ed on for years by eastern millionaires,
corrupted the good sense and judgment
of the eastern states, but il has hood-
winked certain western men who ought
to know better, and in the case of
number, cupidity was appealed to.
The Mining American edited by that
able writer, Edward G. Reinert, says
on the subject:
''One system of land tenures for the
East end another for the West. This is
the unnatural program which the peo-
pie of the u. s. are asked to accept

their manhood.
A domain equal in area TO nearly two
thirds Of the territory east of the Mis-
sippi river is TO be deprived of the very
essence of local sovereignty and brought
under the arbitrary dominion of a re-
mote people. The residents of this area
will possess no rights that the old United
States are bound to respect But we
ask in the utmost solemnity, what citi-
zen of the West is ready to admit that
ne believes in the land leasing program
of the present administration. that he
is even indifferent TO the outcome Of
this hostile policy at a time when the
hypocriticsl conservati0nists are boast
ing that their victory is all but won?
Is il true that any western citizen has
so little sense of shame in his soul that
he would request a member of Con
gress to support measure of degrade
ton for the Rocky Mountain states?
'We have heard this bitter indiet-
ment brought against a few of our
western people. and we wonder in sor-
row if such q thing is possible.

REEVES SHOT AND
FATALLY WOUNDED
Pistol Duel in New Merkle 4
tn
StOrehouse Has Serious Is,
Ending

Will Reeves. formerly employed in the
New Merkle coal mines. was fatally
wounded at 6:15 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon when he was shot in the abdomen
with a .3S-calibre revolver by j. l..
Wright who conducts a mercantile store
at New Merkle, in the latter's store.
Reeves shot several times at Mr.. Wright.
One of the bullets struck him in the chin,
which caused painful injuries Mr.. Reeves
was removed to st. Vincent's hospital in
an ambulance of the Johns Undertaking
company, where it was announced that
very little hope is held out for his re-
covery Mr.. Wright was also carried to
st. Vincent's hospital to have his wounds
dressed.
According to information received, Mr.
Reeves was discharged from the services
of the New Merkle mines several days
ago and it is said he thought that Mr..
Wright had something to do with his
discharge. Reeves went to Mr.. Wrights
store and started an argument and was
ordered to leave, but this he refused to
do. In the argument the foul word was
used, Wright hit Reeves and he threw
a bottle at the storekeeper. Reeves went
off and got revolver, and came back
and opened fire. the first shot hitting
Wright in the chin. Wright also began
to shoot, two shots taxing effect in
Reeves abdomen. and one in his left
shoulder Both parties fired until their
revolvers were empty.
