Remains of Mrs. Fryer Discovered
Week After Crime-Sheriff Hall
Working on Case.

Mrs. John Fryer was found murdered
in a cabin on her husbands claims at
Kelvin last Friday night. The cabin
is just opposite the old ice plant. The
neighbors had not seen Mrs. Fryer
since Sunday morning, but thought
nothing of it until the odor became so
bad they investigated Looking in
through the window, everything seemed
to be in order with no one at home.
On opening the door the whole party
was made sick by the terrible stencil
in the room. Dr. Hoffman, health Of
ficer, and Sheriff Henry Hall were no
titled at Florence. They came up and
found the body. 1t is the theory of the
officers that the unfortunate woman
went to bed Sunday night after writ
ing letter to her husband in Califor-
MIA. That some person or persons un-
known came into the house and hit her
in the back of the head with hammer
which was found in the room. The
murderer then stretched the body out
on the bed and covered it up carefully

FOUR MEN ARE KILLED IN
RAY HERCULES SHAFT

Their lives snuffed out like the
flame of candle, three Mexicans and
a Spaniard, miners employed at the
Ray Hercules shaft, crashed to death
Monday morning when the bucket in
which they were riding fell 200 feet to
the bottom of the shaft Catching of
the cross head, which apparently
crashed downward for 100 feet after it
worked loose. is believed to have been
the cause of the accident, the worst to
happen in Arizona mining in recent
years.
The four men, who were just going
on shift, were riding on the rim of the
bucket, and had been lowered to a
point about 200 feet from the bottom
of the shaft, when the engineer of the
hoist felt terrific jerk on the cable
When the shaft was cleared and the
cable run up, it was found that the
bucket and its human cargo had fallen
to the bottom of the shaft The cross
head, badly wrecked, hung just above
the hook on the cable, and the clamps
which held the hook were badly
jammed, indicating, that the cross head
a heavy mass of wood and iron, had
been caught and held back while the
bucket was being lowered until sud-
denly at height Of seventy five or
one hundred feet from the bucket it
crashed downward, crushing the heads
of the four miners, and dashing them
and the bucket to the bottom of the
shaft, 200 feet below.
The bodies Of all four were found at
the bottom Of the shaft, the heads IN
each instance being badly crushed, in
some cases almost beyond recognition.
State Mine Inspector, G. H. Bolin,
was notified and left Phoenix on the
afternoon stage, arriving at Ray late
that night. He Investigated the scene
of the accident Tuesday, and obtained
record of the circumstances sur
rounding the accident. AS the cross
head had been tas,sen to pieces before
his arrival, it was impossible for him
to arrive at determination of the
cause of the accident, but he was in
clined to accept the theory that the
heavy bulk of timber had been hung
up and had crashed down upon the
men.
The men had stopped on their way
down to shut off the pump at the
pumping station about the $50 foot
level in the shaft, and it is believed
that the cross head failed to follow the
bucket downward from this point
Whether it did or not, or just what
caused the accident will probably never
be known.
Only the merest chance saved fell
low workman from the death that
overlook the four men in the bucket
Occupied with some other task, he
failed to reach the shaft until the
bucket had dropped below the collar
of the shaft.
The cross head was of the latest
modern design and was equipped with
safety stop so that it is difficult to
understand just what caused it to
hang up" in the shaft.

S|ME[TER TAKES
TEDIOUS GAME
FROM M|LLERS

In one of the most tiresome and slow
contests of the season, the Smelterites
took the mid-week game from the
Millers at Hayden Wednesday after
noon by score of to 8. Only six
frames were played and everybody was
ready to quit and go home when the
contest was finally called on account
Of darkness.
Hughes ascended the mound for the
Smelterites and Fentress for the Mill,
but both Munsell and Johnson were
called to the slab before the game was
fairly started. Continuous scrapping
over the rather unsatisfactory decis-
ions of Umpire Pringle made the fans
even wearier, and it was without re-
gret that they saw the contest come
to an abrupt close.
Sundays contest between the Mines
and the Mill on the local diamond
promises to be one of the greatest
games of the season, and that there
will be tremendous outpouring of
fans is certain. Wednesdays score:

LABOR AND THE ELECTION

Labor unions throughout che United States are holding special meetings n their union halls for the purpose ot making arrangements to devote the last few days ot the campaign and election day to a de- termined effort to make the majority for Woodrow Wilson the largest ever east for President in the history of the United States. The members of Or ganized Labor from the baby members Of the var ious unions up through che locals the State Organi- zatons the National Organization to the great Presi- dent oS the combined organizations Samuel Gompers, Che Grand old Man" Of Unonsm. are practically formed into one mighty army O, Wilson voters
 Why
 Not on account of any Wilson promises but be- cause of Wilson performance. Because Of Che pro- gressve legislation tha, has been placed on the stat ute books since he became President Because of the labor commission. the Clayton antitrust law the artchild labor law. the trade commission. the aid to American exporters in foreign lands the reserve bank law the rural credits law, the shipping bills. the AGamson eishthour for railroad train crews law. and other laws. and because he gave us Brandeis ard Clarke the Supreme Court.
 It is because. as Iia Tarbeu says. President Will is the only performing and constructive progreS siye President the United States has had since Lin coin.
 This is the man who has requested ,he people of Alaska, the progressive people Of Alaska the of all Alaskan classes. Co send Senator Charles A. Sulzer to Congress. This is the man who wants Alaska to declare for selfgoyernment by sending sefgovemment advocate to represent her at Wash ingJon.
 This is the man whom Wickersham is holding up rJicuie before the voters ol Alaska. This is the man whose voice the workingmen of Alaska are asked to believe is the fish trust" voice.
 Wickersham and the reacdouary press that sup port him think the working people of Alaska are fools. The Empire believes they will demonstrate the folly Of the conclusion

4 NOTABLE CONVERT

Hughes and The Colonel have made at least one notable convert since the beginning of the campaign They have converted Senator La Toilette to the sup DOT, Of President Wilson Senator La Toilette began his campaign as the Republican nominee for Senator from Wisconsin a supporter of Hughes for the Presidency. He is now strongly urging the voters of Wisconsin to vote for President Wilson The stand that Hughes and The Colonel took on the Adamson eight-hour law. which was supported by Senator La Toilette said that while it might cause his own de- feat to oppose the head of his own party, he felt that the election Of President Wilson is Of im portance to che country than his own
 The switch Of Senator La Toilette. it is conceded is one Of the causes Of placing Wisconsin in the Wilson column by such Republican authorities as the New York Tribune. Another cause for 1t is the an nouncement that the Socialist vote of Milwaukee and Madison is said to be going to Wilson almost in body.

WOMEN FOR WILSON

ent campaign is thai the women voters in the sui fage States are for Wilson All this hullaboloo about a constitutional amendment for nationwide woman suffrage has never been anything but noise. The women in the woman suffrage States understand that there was only one logical way to get the and that is to capture State after State. They under stand that 1t is just easy to capture State for woman suffrage wihin that State as it would be to capture the State for a constitutional amendment and when they carry State for suffrage the women Of that State will get the vote immediately and al ways have it. constitutional amendment does not become effective until threefourths of the States radfy it. Then why waste energy in carrying State for the amendment and have to wait for the votes until three dozen other States also ratify it. and also the risk of losing the carried State again?

NO WONDER HE QUIT

Perhaps Delegate Wckersham has quit making speeches hoping that the people will forget the bill ngsate and personal abuse he has been nduiging in since leaving Juneau. "Mangy politicians" dirty bunch of politicians" "they are getting paid for it," connected by the gut of graft" Think Of it, yot- CTS! And this vulgar abuse directed at citizens of Alaska who have been connected with its greatest de- veopment-men who have lived in Alaska and devoted their time and energies to make the Territory what it is not men who have lived from the public pay roll-and by Delegate to Congress seeking re-elec- uon
 If word has been carried to him of the manner in which the people regard his speeches there is no wonder that he has quit making speeches.
