FRIENDS OF DEAD
NOT YET FOUND
MYSTERY ENSHROUDS LIVES OF
MEN KILLED AT THE
OLD DOMINION
Cards, Letters, and Pullman Check
Afford but Slight Clue to Pre-
viOus History of Deceased

Just who were Ed Sheldon and
George Shannon, who lost their lives
last Friday night, June II, in the Old
Dominion mine, seven miles from Col
vile? From what place did they
come? Have they any living rela-
tives? These questions are prepleX-
ing the officials of the Old Dominion
Mining company and Undertaken
Quinn w. McCord. Only an old let
ter, card or two, and a Pullman
car check furnish possible clues.
Ed Sheldon had in his pockets
letter addressed to him at Tuolumne,
California, in care of the California
Gold Mining and Development com
pany, and signed by Ferdinand Wag-
ner, whose address at the time of
writing Oct. II, 1918, was 438 Hay
street, San Francisco. From the
contents of the letter it would ap-
pear that Wagner might have been
an official of this company and Shell
don an employe. Wagner was wired
at this address but the telegraph
company reported that the telegram
had been refused. Sheldon had
dark hair, turning gray, large nose,
small ears, a sandy mustache, and
scar in the middle of his forehead.
He was five feet, ten inches tall, and
had lost the ends of his right great
toe and the toe next to it.
It is evident from the papers in
possession of Shannon that he had
been employed at some time in the
lead mines of Joplin, Missouri. In
his pocketbook was a certificate of
registration for military service
dated Sept. IL, 1918, at Sapulpo, Ok
lahoma. A telegram was sent to
Gussie Whitcomb, the registrar, but

The first of the national conven-
tions of this year has passed into
history. Republican delegates at Chi
cago were again forced to follow the
dictates of the old-time leaders of
the republican party, and their nomi-
nee for the presidency is Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio, recog-
nized "standpatter" of the "safe"
type. Although such a result was
forecasted by Blythe, Bryan, and the
numerous noted political writers, the
actual naming of Harding came as
surprise to republicans and democrats
alike-as it again puts forth the sit
uations of 1912 and 1916 when the
machine policies of the party pre-
vailed in convention, but went down
to defeat in election.
Governor Calvin Coolidge of Mas
sachusetts was selected for vice pres
ident, his attitude against striking
policemen of Boston having made
him a national figure in the news
paper world-along with our own Ole
Hanson of Seattle.
On the 10th ballot, Harding was
named for president. Until that time
the Washington delegation stuck
faithfully by Poindexter-the only
vote Poindexter had in the convention
on the 9th ballot On the 10th bal
lot, of Washington's ii votes went
for Harding, 5 for Wood, 2 for Poin-
dexter, for Hoover. The majority
of the Washington delegates evident
ly preferred a man of progressive
type, but it was evident that Hard
ing was already nominated, and Of
this states votes were thrown to the
winner, the other 8 sticking out as
matter of principle for other men of
more progressive type, even though
knowing that Harding was the win
