THE PRESIDENT DEftD.
President McKinley passes away at
Buffalo—His end calm and peaceful.
His assassin protected by troops.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 14.
President McKinley died 2:15 a. m.
He had been unconcious since. 7:05
p. m. yesterday. His last conscious
hour on earth was spent with his
* wife, to whom he had devoted a
lifetime of care. He died unattend
ed by a minister of the gospel, but
his last words were of humble sub
mission to the will of God, in whom
he believed.
He was reconciled to the fate
to which an assassin’s bullet had
condemned him and faced death
with the same spirit of calmness and
peace which has marked his long
and honorable career. His last
conscious words, reduced to writ
ing by Dr. Mann, who stood by
his bedside when they were uttered
were as follows: “Good bye all,
good bye. It is God’s way; His
will be done.”
The president’s remains will be
taken to Washington. There will
be a state funeral.
The rage of the people of Buffalo
against the president’s assassin,
when they learned today that he
was dying, was boundless; Thou
sands surrounded the jail and the
police force of the city and two reg
iments were necessary to secure his
£ protection.
Vice- President Roosevelt now
succeeds to the presidency.- The
cabinet will of course resign in a
body. President Roosevelt will
have an opportunity of forming a
new cabinet if he so desires.
RODEN STARTS SUIT.
He alleges fraud on the part of Bigelow*
Claims that Bigelow compromised
with Lorcncen for one half the «3lain»
Suit was filed last Wednesday bv
H. J. Roden et al vs. Perry Bige
low et al. The nature of the act
ion is to compel Bigelow to carry
out a specific contract. The alleg
ed facts of the case as near as they
can be learned, are as follows:
Bigelow jumped t,orencen’s discov
ery on Glen. After jumping it he
made a contract with Gill and Rod
en to cross-cut the claim, for doing
this Roden was to receive a bill of
sale to the upper half. In the
meantime IyOieucen begins suit to
oust Bigelow, who immediately
confesses judgment and the claim
reverts to I,orencen without further
litigation. Roden claims that Big
elow compromised for a one-half
interest in the property. No such
' - »
deed has ever been recorded, and
I^orencen denies that such an in
strument exists. Roden alleges
the contrary and claims fraud on
Bigelow’s part. The claim in ques
tion is now one above discovery.
Encouraging Reports Still Come.
J. L,. Green and H. Morse return
ed from a 9 days trip over the div
ide last Thursday. Green is high
ly pleased over the prospects found
and predicts a great rush into this
section, as soon as the magnitude of
the discovery is generally known.
WATER FOR GLEN.
The problem to supply Glen with water
i» solved—1100 miners’ Inches will
1
be placed oil the creek next summer. A >

Papers were recorded by A. H. i
Monroe last Monday, claiming 500
miners’ inches of water on Eureka, i
300 inches on Boston, and 300 in- 5
cheS on Rhode Island creek. The i
water to be brought on the Glen I
gulch bars by ditches, flumes, and |
piping, for hydraulic purposes g>
One stream will be carried from' ^
• l
11 above Eureka, 2000 feet to the J
mouth of Boston; one from 3 above J
Boston, 1500 feet to the mouth of 3
■S
the creek where it is combined with 1
■ • . . £
that of Eureka and both carried in 3
one stream to the Glen bars.
The Rhode Island water will be
taken from 11 above and carried
about 8000 feet to the west benches
of Glen. This is a most feasible
scheme and should merit the most
hearty support of every claim ow
ner on the gulch. The water used
will not affect the working of any
claims below the source of supply
on the abovementioned creeks.
Thus will the problem of getting
water on Glen be solved. With
an unlimited supply of water on the
ground, the output of Glen will be
immense. No more than one head
was obtained the past summer, and
at that the heavy snowfall of last
«
winter was more favorable to the
supply on the creek than can be ex
pected again in years.
