MYSTERY CONTINUES
IN PREACHERS CASE

Mystery. still surrounds the shoot
ing Of Rev. Edward Hoering, vicar of
the Episcopal church in this city. who
was found early Friday morning by
Chief of Police Lamb near the ceme-
terry with only his underwear and
socks on. in a dazed and bruised con-
dition, and blind. 1t developed Satur-
day In Reno hospital that the rev.
erend gentleman had been shot
through the head. the optic nerves
being severed. and in consequence he
will be blind forever, II indeed he
lives at all.
Rumors here have been numerous
and conflicting. but when all have
been run down II is found they are
without foundation in truth. Opinion
seems divided as to whether Rev.
Hoering attempted suicide or was a
victim OF a would-be murderer. Au-
thorities seem inclined to the suicide
theory. while others place confidence
In Hoering's statement that he does
not know how It happened These
are supported by the fact that no
powder marks were seen on his skin
and word received from Reno today
to effect that no powder is in the
wound.
Latest word from Reno refutes the
rumor that Rev Hoering's skull was
fractured. Six X-ray pictures have
been taken of his head. disclosing
only the bullet wounds. surgeons say
ing the bullet entered his head on the
right side and emerged from the left.
1t is of course impossible to tell what
calibre bullet made the wound.
Hoering has q chance for recovery.
a telegram from Reno says. providing
infection does not set in.
Since the report published in this
newspaper last Saturday wherein It
was stated all OF Rev. Hoeringss
clothing had been found except his
trousers and cap, those two articles
have been located. The cap was
found late Saturday evening. and It
neither had a hole in It nor was II
burned by powder.
A party composed OF Messrs. Akin.
Bush, Squires and Asbury yesterday
found the trousers in a slough con-
tanning about foot OF water in the
Miller & Lux field. one-quarter mile
west Of the cemetery and about a
mile below the spot where a large
clot OF dried blood was found. indi-
eating the spot where Hoering was
shot. 1t is evident that he wandered
far after regaining consciousness,
after the shooting. scattering his
clothing as he went under the delu-
sion that he was going to or in the
hospital. 1t appears he crawled
through the fence at the Miller &
Lux field. got into the slough accord
ing to his story, a wet tent), removed
his trousers and tossed his watch
into the sagebrush. for the watch was
found under sagebrush nearby. 1t is
said there are several holes in this
vicinity, about three feet deep. as
well as old cans and rubbish, and this

LARGE NINE FOUND
ON JACKSON NTH.

A mining story that is out OF the
ordinary for the reason that 1t may
mean something" is related by Frank
Carpenter. who spent the weekend in
this city. Carpenter is an old-time
mining man of this section, reputed
to have been successful where others
have failed. Also he has been here
for many years and TO xnowIedge has
never yet tried to exaggerate condi-
tions existing In his many prospects.
For many months Carpenter has
been engaged in developing prospects
In the Jackson Mountain district, and
that he has been successful is at
tested by recent sale of silver and
lead claims to parties who will COM
mence work Immediately. The claims
were sold after engineers had re-
ported favorably. This is one of the
cases where Carpenter has succeeded
where others have failed, and further
details will probably be available in
the near future.
But the news item In hand at
present has to do with a big propo-
sition, including establishment of
townsite on the eastern slope of
Jackson Mountain. at the head of Bull
Creek. seven miles northwest of Fred
Hummefs ranch, the new camp to be
named Eden.
The property row being developed
which Is calculated by Carpenter to
result in something big Is called the
Prodigal group. an old property for
merly owned by p. V. Rovnianek and
V. Cliff, and w. NJ Anderson Of Sac
ramento. 1t has been taken over by
Carpenter and II. s. Anderson.
Though an old property. the pros
pect never had been developed until
recently and the new men have un-
covered enormous bodies of silver.
lead. gold and copper ore. according
to Carpenter. The shaft now being
worked Is showing twelve-foot
ledge with average values the entire
distance of STA per ton. The footwall
is Delainar lime. The shaft is down
forty feet and ore is still being cut.
At the bottom of the shaft winze
| is being thrown in, cutting twelve
feet of ore. and the hanging wall is
not yet cut. This is the contact vein,
according to Carpenter. the footwall
being lime and an ore Gaping of
iron, the formation including granite
and royalite.
Carpenter says the reason the mine
has been overlooked heretofore Is be-
cause of the enormous Gaping and
out-cropping of iron. taking eighteen
| claims to cover, but that underneath
the rich ore is found over the whole
hillside.
While the average assay so far has
been $74. picked specimens will run
from 800 to $500 per ton, Carpenter
says, and for the benefit of mining
men interested he has left number
of samples of ore, ranging from the
good to the ordinary, in the Office Of
The Silver State, where it is on dis
play.
| Carpenter says there is no reason
left for doubling that the camp will
become a wonderful producer, for the
reason that many prominent engi-
neers have recestly examined the
ground and made excellent reports.
Several options on parts of the ground
have been secured by these engineers
for their principals. The important
work now in hand is to build road
directly into camp.

nance have added their heavy quota
TO the grand total of fines
Estimates from the reports in the
office of Mayor Corwine.. the fines for
the year will amount to more than
SIS, 900.
July a Violating Month.
The heaviest amount of fines for
any one month has been in July,
when $1,674 was paid in. August
probably will amount to $4,000, Mayor
Corwine said, as the number of ar
rests has been greater than in any
month this year.
Checking the violations of city ordi-
nances for the month of June alone
showed 10 violations of traffic rules;
nineteen cases of drunkenness three
fines for possession of liquor; three
for assault; three for disorderly con-
duct; seven for gambling; two for
carrying concealed weapons; one for
vagrancy and one for leaving trash in
an alley.
Police Force Effective.
The new parking law is partly re-
SpOnsible for the increased number OF
fines, MAYOR Corwine said. But he
said also that he considered the work
of the police force more effective in
the last few months The slight in
crease in the police force has contrib
uted to the increased number of ar
rests. he said.
The fines as reported for the last
seven months ago: January. $749. SO :;
February. $591.25; March. s645;
April, 1891; May, 1880; June,

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently If it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the use
of a really good shampoo. The easiest
to use and quickest drying shampoo
that we can recommend to our readers
is one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful Of canthrox
which can be obtained from any drug
gist, in a cup of hot water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead of just to the top of
the head. This, when rubbed into the
scalp and onto every strand of hair.
chemically dissolves all impurities. It
Is very soothing and cooling in its
action. as we'll beneficial to both
scalp and hair. After rinsing out the
lather SO created. you will find the
scalp is fresh. clean and free from

luster and a soft fluffiness that makes
it seem very heavy.-Adv.

MORE FREIGHT IN Topeka
Rock Island Shows Big Increase
Over Last Year.


The Rock Islands freight business
d Topeka is showing a big increase
over last year. Approximately 400
during the same period a year ago
and it is estimated that August will
show a further increase in business.
on account of this incI Ease. and the
higher freight rates, it is said that the
receipts have shown a gain of at least
une-third in the last two months and
all of the work is being accomplished
at tn. local freight office with three
less clerks than the office had last
year
The demand for cars of all kinds is
heavy. On one day recently the Rock
Island received forty carloads of flour
from the-Topeka mills and this class
of business is averaging from fifteen
five cars could be handled every day
if it was possible to get the cars, Off
Gals sad today. Up until a short
time ago most of the flour being
shipped from Topeka was for export
but practically all of it is now going
to points within the United States
The thru freight business is also
showing a big increase over last year
and the company is unable to keep up
with the demand for cars to move the
wheat crop. The fact that cars are
now tied up at terminals is to blame
largely for this condition, 1t is said.
The Rock Islands cantaloupe move
ment. which was in excess of 10000
cars between the latter part of June
and August /. is practically at an end
but shipments of citrous fruits and
vegetables of all kinds are unusually
heavy

CLERKS SIDE OF QUESTION
Railway Brotherhood Points Out Rea-
sons for Cancellation Vacation Order.

sons for Cancellation Vacation Order.
That the Santa Fe cancelled its or
der relating to vacations with pay be-
cause it was a violation of the rulings
of the labor board, and thru pressure
brought by the Clerks union. is the
claim made by NJ. A. Moore, general
chairman of the clerks of the Santa
FEES eastern lines. in a. communication
to The State Journal, today.
Santa Fe officials have said that
the company cancelled the order vol
unfairly because of the unfairness to-
ward those clerks who had not yet
received their vacations this year, and
they have also stated number OF
times that the matter of vacations is
not touched VI n by the rulings of the
labor board.
Moore's communication follows:
1--WE nete that the articles in local papers
do not give the Brotherhood Of Railway
the order relative to the granting of vaca-
lions with pay. The facts in the case are !:
When the order was sent out from Chicago.
the clerks representatives were called be-
fore the heads of the departments, and
given the privilege of voting on the pro-
position of going back to the old system
with pay, OF pay for overtime and no pay
Now under the old system of no pay for
overtime. the average overtime required
was from 40 to 60 hours per month, or from
40 to 40 hours per man per year. While
the maxium refund in vacations for the
year was 96 hours, from which was de-

or in other words, If employee was sick

THE employees representatives refused
to vote on the return TO the monthly basis.
maximum amount of overtime that would
be required stating that they might agree,
if the company would agree not 20, re-
Guire over about two hours in overtime
for each hour granted in vacations. This
the management refused to agree to. claim
ing they would require as much overtime
as necessary. they to be the judge, and the
clerks to take their chances Not being
able TO agree with the local officials, our
general chairman. NJ. A. Moore, made n
special trip to Chicago, and called for
priority rights before the labor board and
also went before the Chicago officials and
the result of that trip was the cancellation
of the order.
1T is ridiculous to state and expect any
one to believe that Santa Fe officials would
issue orders without investigation. They
knew all about the facts, that some clerks
bad had their vacations. and others had
not. They also expected Opposition and
unless they had been thoroly gone over.
The Santa Fe does not do things in that
sort of, hnphhzard way. The order was
cancelled because it was a direct viola ton
of the -laboT board rulings and because
enough pressure was brought upon the Off
Gals to make them change their minds and
that pressure was brought by the represen-
tntives of the brotherhood of Railway
Clerks"
