EDITOR LIBELS THEN KILLS MIXING PROMOTER SHOT Br A XEVADA NEWSPAPERMAN. Says in Paper Man With Bad Record Should Be Run Out of Town and . Backs Assertion With a Gun. ' ' GOLDFIEL.D, Nev., Dec. 10. Francis L. Burton was shot and killed today at Mina by J. Holtman Btiek, editor and proprietor of the Western Nevada. Miner. Buck printed in his paper an article as serting: that Burton had been run out of the town of Rawhide by -a committee, and counselling the same treatment by the citizens of Mlna. Burton took Buck to task, and in the quarrel ensuing the former was killed. It is alleged that several years ago Bur ton was arrested In Massachusetts for fraud In connection with some mining promotion. He was tried and convicted and sent to prison. He persuaded the Warden of the pentlentlary into Investing J7000 In one of his schemes, while still a prisoner, and succeeded through the Warden In getting a parole. He went back, to Colorado, presumably to put through his scheme, but In the meantime broke his parole. The Massa chusetts authorities attempted to extra dite him, but before they could got action Burton was gone. Later he came to Nevada, where he has had a meteoric career as a promoter of questionable schemes. DRIVEN OFF BY STORMS Watchers Ieave Monongah Mines. Bodies Rapidly Recovered. MONONGAH, W. Va.. Dec 10. The crowd of Idlers whicfh has surged about nh pit entrances of mines No. S and 8, of the Fairmont Coal Company, from the moment of the awful explosion of last Friday morning has been dwindling ever since the rain started last night, until tonight there remained only the forces employed In rescue work, the newspaper workers and the inconsolable near rela tives of the victims, who remained faith - in their vigil during the downpour all night and all day, and are still shiver ing and enduring physical discomforts in the wet snow that has succeeded the rain. When darkness fell 141 bodies had ac tually been brought to the surface, while many more were located, with .every pros pect of the rapid work of recovery of the paat 24 hours continuing through the night. Lieutenant-Governor McDermott, of West Virginia, who came here as the personal representative of Governor Daw son, completed his Investigation last night He said he had found nothing to justify telegraphing a report. Bishop P. J. Donahue, of tho Wheeling diocese of the Boman Catholic Church, has been here assisting local clergymen In caring for their parishioners and as sisting in a number of the funerals. He visited many of the homes of miners and found so many children made or phans by the disaster that he immediate ly took up the work of providing homes for them. He will arrange to have as many as can be accommodated sent to the orphanages maintained by the church at Huntington and Wheeling. The relief work Is well under way and will soon be systematized. There is now plenty of food, but there is urgent need of clothing In many families. Cash funds are being raised in many places and In stallments have already been forwarded from some points. The coal companies of this district have contributed $20,000 cash and the money has been placed in a bank at the dispo sal of the committee as soon as It Is au thorized to act. Many of the rescuers have been stricken with illness, and it was found necessary to bring a number of recruits here from the Georges Creek district. Chief State Mine Inspector J. W. Paul Is quoted as saying he believes the ex plosion was started by an electric spark from runaway cars In the main entry. A string of these cars was plied up in the entry at the bottom of a slope.

War of Extermination on Rats Re suits in Decrease of Number Seen on the Waterfront. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The next re port of the public health and marine hos pital service will contain the statement by Passed Assistant Surgeon-General Hobby that bubonic plague infection "is still gen erally distributed in San Francisco but the percentage is very much lower than was at first reported." "Investigation along the waterfront," he adds, "shows that there is a considerable diminution of rats present and a still more marked decrease in sick or dead rats seen. Of the dead rats found many were proved to have died from the results of the rat crusade now being waged. Late observations indicate that the number of rats found on board vessels in the harbor of San Francisco is being steadily re duced." Passed Assistant Surgeon Rupert Blue, In charge of the plague extermination campaign in San Francisco, will report that up to December 7 the number of cases reached 112; total deaths, 67; death rate, 59.8 per cent. During the week end ing last Saturday 4988 premises were In spected for plague, 58 houses were disin fected, 20 houses were destroyed by Are or other means, 561 rats were found dead in the city, 1911 rats were trapped and killed, 249,757 poisons were placed for rat extermination. Of 811 rata bacterlologic ally examined, only one was found to be infected with the plague bacillus."

Ahearn to submit passively to removal from the office of Borough President of Manhattan by Governor Hughes has brought about an Interesting situation.
