The investigation leading up to the discovery of counterfeiting was caused by a quarrel which took place ln the mine between Bum Reynolds, a negro sentenced from this city, and James Grimith, who is a life term prisoner from Oklahoma. Reynolds had passed one of the quarters on Grimith on the 21st of August and the latter finding that it was counterfeit demanded that Reynolds take it back and make it good by paying him a good quarter.

Reynolds refused to do so and a fight started between them during which Reynolds struck Grimith with a picTc, and the blade entered his body at a point near the right shoulder and passed through DiacKmaners, bulldozers and bluffers. limes ote- They are simply half-breeds, and it The funeral of Anna Hazleman took doesn't matter which half it is, either; place from her home, south of the city, it represents nothing but 'machine pol- Sunday The body was in-itics," equally as much so, if not more, terred in Mount Olivet cemetery, than I have ever known the republican The funeral of Simon Reuben occur-party here be guilty of. jred from the family residence Sunday "In the interest of, and under this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

EX-SHERIFF FLORA TELLS WHY HE REFUSED A NOMINATION A majority of the delegates to the fusion conventions in the eighth district wanted ex-Sheriff Chauncey Flo-a to accept the nomination for the legislature, but he refused to permit the use of his name. A Times reporter asked Mr. Flora about his refusal when he gave his reasons as follows: "I could not allow my name to go before the convention for that would have Implied an indorsement of Leedy and that I would vote for him for governor, and I want to be foot loosa. I don't believe that Leedy is either a or democrat; he is only for Leedy himself.
