THREE TO ONE
FAVOR OF TAFT
Odds Take Sudden Change After
Big Meeting by Republican
Nominee in New York. j
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
New York, Oct. 29—Betting today is
at odds of three to one that latt will
carry New York state and be elected
president over Bryan.
The odds had been two to one, and
Gradually lessened until they stood at
ten to seven. But they took a sudden
and radical change last night after the
Taft meeting at Madison square Gar
den, when the republican nominee ad
dre ssed the biggest and most enthusi
astic crowd of the campaign. The
great hall is estimated to have con
tained 20,000, and thousands more
blocked the streets outside. Laboring
men were noticeably active in the
demonstration, which feature largely
caused the great increase of odds in
favor of Taft.
Mr. Taft leaves today for his tout

HILL APPEARS
WITH BRYAN
First Time Former Governor and
Senator Has Taken Active Part j
in Support of Nebraskan. j
I
I
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 29—The feature
of William J. Brvan's rally here last
• *■
night was the appearance of David B.
Hill, former governor and senator, on
[the platform with Mr. Bryan, and an
address by Mr. Hill in which he prais
ed Mr. Bryan as the greatest democrat
of this generation. He urged an en
thusiastic and unselfish support of the
head of the ticket by all democrats.
Mr. Hill was given an ovation no less,
demonstrative than that in favor of'
| Mr. Bryan.
This is the first time‘that Mr. Hill
has taken an active part in support of
Bryan. He was formerly one of
Bryan’s bitterest opponents in the
■ democratic party. It was Hill who
| brought out Alton B.Parker as a candi
date against the Bryan faction four
years ago.
Mr. Hill's dislike of President
i Roosevelt is known to he so intense
that the leaders in both parties expect
him to do all in his power to earn
the Empire state for Bryan. Thei’2
is now no suspicion of treachery to
the ticket with which Hill waschargcu :
by the Bryan men in 1890 and again in
1900.

Eight Claims of Richest Placer
Ground .Bought by New
Company.
The first big mining deal in the
Yentna district was closed in Seward
yesterday, when the Cache Creek Min
ing Company, composed of W. L
O’Conell, Thomas B. Minahan, George
Eberhardt, F. C. Reagan and George
Marx, bought eight claims, covering
ten miles of placer ground on Cache
creek, from R. C. Richardson, Chris
Hansen, T. R. Wilson, P. J. Collins,
Messrs. Ward and Cromer, and the
Harper brothers.
The purchasers are Cache creek min
ers and outside capitalists. The pur
chase money was paid and the papers
were delivered yesterday through the
Bank of Seward. Mr. Regan acted for
his associates in closing the negotia
tions.
Neither side has disclosed the pur
chase price, except to say that it in
volves the largest cash payment ever
made for placer ground in the Susitna
valley.
The ground is a hydraulic proposi
tion. The company will put in a plant,
Mr. Regan says, that will cost from
$150,000 to $200,000. It will ship the
entire outfit as far af it can be taken
in by boat next summer, and sled it
over the snow to the mines the follow
ing winter. Next season will be spent
in doing the preliminary work on the
claims.
All of the eight claims are known
from two seasons’ working to be rich.
Conservative estimates place the aver
age at. $1 a yard. The gravel is from
two to thirty feet deep, with a width
averaging about 1200 feet.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Bear While Stealing Cached Hoose
Is Shot by Alfred Lowell and
Hangs in Tree. v
Alfred Lowell and S. E. Likes, while
on their recent hunting trip, shot a
i moose and cached it in a tree. Mr.
Lowell, upon returning to the cache,
found a bear had already eaten one
quarter of the moose, and had
I climbed the tree for a second quarter.
A well directed shot from Lowell’s
| gun brought the bear down, but in
falling it caught in the forks of the
tree and there hung till a team was
driven up and the bear and remainder
of the moose were loaded into the
wagon and brought to town.

MANY ARRESTS ~
IN TOBACCO WAR
Check to Depredations Which
Have Cost Two States So
Far Over $5,000,000.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Union City, Tenn. Oct. 29—As a re
sult of lied Burton’s confession Tues
day, involving many of the best known
business men and politicians in the
tobacco raids in Tennessee and Ken
tucky, eighty-five of night riders
were taken in the drag net of troops
and special police yesterday and today,
and brought before the grand jury.
The grand jury is in session behind
closed doors, with strong guards
posted.
The arrests make the first important
step in the breaking up of the tobacco
war, and many sensational develop
ments are expected in the trials.
The cost so far to the states of Ten
nessee and Kentucky in tobacco and
warehouses burned and in the expense
of sending troops and police to stop the
depredations is estimated at $5,000,000,
and more than twenty men have been
killed or wounded.
