probable that the investigation may
have resulted in O cine to the robber

ANOTHER SECTION HOUSE ROBBED
The section house on the railroad above
Golconda was robbed last Saturday. 1t
is supposed that ''tramps." of which
there are many along the road at
present, entered the house and pillaged

hands. Section houses up the road

present. There is a man in jail here who
was held to answer before the Grand
Jury for breaking into the section house
at Stone House, between Golconda and
Battle Mountain.

If the managers Of the Centennial FIX

opennl the show ON the grand scale originally

to blame for the mishap. The methods they
have adopted for securing contributions Of
money from individuals, States, and the ma
tiunal Government have been III advised, and
calculated 10 create prejudice against tie whole

pration from Congress have been haiacteriI.d
both by presumption and duphcity. II the ex-
hibition was to be national enterprise, sup
ported or largely supported, by Government

lection would have been made to the choice Of

vidcd Congress could be induced to authorize
such show anywhere. But the projectors Of
