Pond in Golden Gate Park.

Pond in Golden Gate Park.
The body of an unknown man was found
IN pond OF water near the end of the
speedtrack in Golden Gate Park yesterday
morning. The body had evidently been
in the water some weeks and was so badly
decomposed as to render Identification
practically impossible.
The Coroner is unable to determine
whether the man came to his death by his
own hand or was murdered. His throat
was cut from ear to ear, and in the left
hand pants pocket was found a two
bladed horn-handled knife. bunch of
keys and a razor, apparently new. The
last-named instrument was in case, but
the blade showed streaks of coagulated
blood. In the right hand vest pocket was
found a card bearing the name, "H.
Rinaldo, cigars, 95915 Market street."
Inquiry at this place disclosed the fact
that the stranger was not known there.
1t is possible that the unknown man cut

LONDON, Sept 24.-A dispatch from
Sofia says that Armenian refugees who
have arrived In Bulgaria announce that

In part, J. w. Pruett of Carlin writes
the Etko Independent: Will the Il. Il.
Co. move the interests it has at Carlln
from there to Elko2 The answer Ia
"No." Not for one hundred thousand
dollars in gold coin paid in hand would
it make such a move. A proposition OF
that nature to the Board OF Directors oil
the Southern Pacific Co. would receive a
two-minute consideration. The idea Is
not only a ridiculous one to that lntelll-
gent body OF men, but to any thinking,
Practical man, who has any practical
kn)wleige OF railroading, and who
Knows anything of the valuable and In
Vulnerable advantages that company
e joys at Carlin, and who is familiar
with the location OF the town OF Elko,
is advantages and disadvantages, Is
simply the most absurd idea or PROPOSE
ion that could be agitated by a class OF
men.
But to tell the people that the above
mentioned move will never take place is
not the object of this letter. 1t is to re-
call 10 the minds OF the citizens OF Elko
county that we have heretofore had as
D .oof of a certain rotten, selfish, unprin-
cipled, agitating element there is locat-
ed at our county seat

The PLAY.

"rhe Irish Duke" was played before
a gro s,led house at Music fall Monday
nigh5, Every seat beng taken. MIS-
| Neriie Madden presided at the piano.
Miss Gertrude DLnlope, AS Nancy, was
deserving OF The appliance she received
several times. She handled the charac-
ter MS well as a professional could.
Harry Owens as a London dude law
yer was perfect in makeup and Is deserv-
ing OF the highest praise for his acting.
The audience was quick to recognize
these farts and to show appreciation.
Prof. Dornberger made the most OF
his part and spoke plainly and distinct
ly.
Tom McKinstry's love scenes showed
a wonderful lack OF practice in such
matters and some new woman will hav'
to get hold of Tom and make hot love 20
him before he dare put in an appearance
as a stage lover. The boys wanted to
help Tom out. Perhaps he'can do better
in private life and didn't want to give
a good thing away.
Chas. McEchren was all right and
did we'll.
w. II. A. Pike makes a splendid viii
lain and has had much practice as u pol
itician.s Roy Lewis did well and has an
easy manner on the stage.
Prof. Smith being the only profession
al in the cast we forbear to comment.
Miss Mamie Lane was an heiress to
the manner born and looked very pretty.
Miss Maud Gil, sustained the charac-
Ter of Annie Rooney well. 1t was a
hit. 1t was a task which ,required con-
fidence. ~
The amateurs who presented 1.-THE
Irish Duke" did exceedingly well. Their
acting, all around, was a delightful sur
prise. The company is deserving Of
much credit for good work. The play,
however, should be buried and eve
resurrected. There is absolutely moth
ing 0 it. Some clumsy wretch stole
ideas from Levers Handy Andy and car
we'd and chopped them into such pieces
that i. rasps oae's nerves to have to lis
ten to the fearful distortions. About 100
days in the county Jail to be followed by
Punishment would be the, proper sent
ence.
We do sincerely hope that the company
will take holdof some good play and
present it. There is tirst-class material
among the: members OF the troupe and
we would like 20 see it utilized. Mon
day night it was a very poor play and
good acting; a good play ami good act
lag would make a,happy combination.
Lcta Yeargin and Ora Gill sang very
sweetly. They were encored and deser.
we'd it. People will look for them again

ductors are bonded Tor 81 900 each and
the freight conductors for $500. The
latter to the number of about 532 had to
pay IS for their policies which run for a
year. The passenger conductors had to
pay $40 each.
The brotherhood association OF the
conductors did not see any necessity for
this move on Mr.. Huntington's part.
The association had always upheld him
in dischage of dishonest men and in
more ways than one had assisted the
the company in that direction. 1t, there
fore, thinks it's members have been put
to a useless expense. the brotherhood
is determined, however, that Mr.. Hunt
ington's deal with the surety people
shall not shift from the Southern
Pacific to the Kansas City corporation
responsibility for unreasonable dis
charges of conductors. Many of the
members are quietly saying that the or
ganization has deci led that the South
ern, Pacific Company must live up to its
agreement with the men and act with its
duly appointed committees on all cases
where conductors are let out for doubtful
causes. 1t is understood the railroad off :
