Mistaken for a Murderer.

During the fistic carnival here
Wyatt carp, of Arizona, WIS noticed
r evening 10 be taking an extraor-
binary interest in George McLOughlin
Of the Mat. He first saw him at the
Arlington House one evening and
was close ~ him for nearly an hour,
watching him inteDtly. He finally
asked a bystander hi8 name and wien
he learned i. was McLonghlin became
very much excited. He finally step
ped up to him and putting out his
hand said:
Good evening. Mr.. Mclaughlin 3;
when!did you leave Ariz map
Mclaughlin replied: THAT'S my
name, but 1 never was ia Arizona
How long have you lived here?"
About twenty years" was the
reply.
carp then asked him if he had ever
met a man named Johnson Of Ari.
IONA and received a negative reply.
carp then excused himself and in
! boOut OH loti tdfle pdtA anu dtOIl-
gized for his questioning, saying that
he had learned from several people
who Mclaughlin VS. and that he had
lived twenty years in Nevada.
ut beats anything I ever saw" be
added. Il could have sworn you were
the man who, about ten years ago
killed a man in Tombstone and skip
ped the country. His name was Nc
L0uahlin and [ afterwards heard he
had been killed by the Apaches, but
when l saw you l thought the apache
business was a blind and concluded
that I had found the right man. When
J. learned your name was Mclaughlin
[ no longer had any doubt, as the re-
semblauce is perfect. I wouldn't ad-
wise you to ever 60 near Tombstone,
for the relatives of the man who was
killed still swear vengeance and if
they say you might shoot you down
without asking any questions, as
your walk, face and voice are exac,

GOOD ADVICE.
Nevada is Told to Cease Being a
Clam

What is the reason Of this morbid
drowsiness? Why is Nevada called
the Rotten Borough" the despised
Sagebrush State? Why is he; popu-
latlOn each year diminishing, until
now Nevada, % Of the largest states
in the Union, ca0nOt muster a pOpu-
lation to a common sized town in the
East.
Nevada was at 4 time one Of the
greatest wealth producers in the ma
ton, whose treasure vaults have been
emptied to build bloci upon block Of
magnificent business properly in the
city Of San Francisco. Even the Pal
ace Hotel, San Francisco's ~grandest,
Ia built with Nevada money, and
what has she received IN return?
Nothing but SCOTS apd ieets. II IA

hat Nevada has untold resources
which 3eed but The hand Of develop
ment TO demonstrate the fact Ne
vada has been as mum as a clam,
never once digging her eyes out to see
what was going On in the world
around her. 1t is about time she was
aroused from her lethargy. Eastern
capital has been interested in her
mining resources and the work Of
development has commenced in ear
nest. Salmon River is showing
: every sign Of a boom this summer,
which bids fair to become permanent.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
have already been invested in Gold
Creek, a town is rapidly springing
up and machinery is already on the
ground for mills and hosting plants.
Lone Mountain comes mex On the llsr,

No development work to speak Of
has yet been done. but from all iDdi-
cations thus far, and it the sanguine
hopes Of the wners is any criterion,
a second ComstOck may be looked for

miry mud Of retrogression on to the
solid ground Of prosperity. Let every

EMPIRE NOTES.
A Few Scattering Items OF Inter
est.

EDITOR APPEAL Empire, at TO time
during the last four years, has APP
preached the appearance Of livellness.
The Morgan and Mexican mills, to
which the town owes its existence,
have only been running spasmodI-
cally during that time, ali due 10 the
depreciation of silver. Henc wood
drives and other smaller Industries
have been affected with the rest. The
Peck Bros. mill with its aerial tram
way vii! d operations within less
than three months for lack of 0
tailinss. w. H. Peck is authority
for this statement that the company's
process of working the "slime" was
never anything but an open secret,
He assured your reporter that he had
something else in sight that would
keep Empire going for some time TO
come. but that, for the present, he was
not ready To disclose the nature Of the
enterprise.
In this connection it may be e
toned that people should be blamed
for wondering why Superintendent
Jas. P. Woodbury., who earns his
livelihood from the crushing and re-
duciDg of silver ore. ehOuld be so ten
a~ciously welded to gold Republican,
ism. He is mayor of the little sea
board town. and he 10 turn should
not feel chagrined yer the sure arri-
val of the time when there will be lit
tie left to boss over. By the way, Mr..
Woodbury. is socially a nice gentle
man. only perverted in his political
views and a bitter would-be coercer
during election times.
A mild excitement was created by
the breaking Of the Mexican ditch
levee at Cap. Cooks ranch a few days
ago which caused a good deal Of
damage. The road for some distance
vas washed out 20 d depth Of four
feet, and about thirty acres were con-
verted into a miniature lake. Cook s
front yard was flooded, injuring a
considerable amount Of fencing, be-
SlueS lNO OI Tie diOIeSdlu acres OF
good mead0wland were covered with
mud and sand. Some ten trees were
uprooted and the spring which fur
nishes the drinking water was COM
pletely choked up. The owner ac-
cepted $500, although he originally
placed the damage at a much higher
figure. The levee there is now strong
er than ever, having been numbered
from its base up. Had the crevasse
occurred ten feet further east, the
large dwelling house would not now
stand in its present place.
W. H. Peck further stated that ht
had some forty men employed at the
Douglas mill building in Dayton
He expects to start up the mill in les:
than thirty days. He will worl
about 800 tom daily. The supply con
sists of about 450, 900 tons of tailiogs
the reduction Of which will require a
least two and one half years.
Chas. V Peck will be the superin
tendent of the lev concern.
In conclusion, Empire people ar
like miners, generous to a fault, ant
should bad come to worse, they viii
always manage to scratch" along.

Somewhat Pocket Worn.

Yesterday two little girls came to
the APPEAL Office and asked if the
paper would like 10 publish an ac-
count OF a bicycle ride they took about
a week ago. They said they had
written it the day after the ride and
carried it about in their pockets. In
looking over the manuscript its APP
pearance corroborated the full truth of
their assertion. The pencil writing
was so worn aud blemished from
pocket wear that it was almost totally
obliterated. Under these circum-
stances any estimate OF the value of
these two young ladies as reporters is
absolutely impossible.

The Presidents Report a Ring
ing Appeal to Christian
Workers.

The annual county convention of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
opened in the United Presby terian Church
yesterday morning.
Fifteen minutes were given up to devo-
tional exercises, after which the county
superintendents of de partments made very
encouraging reports OF work accomplish ed
during the past year and gave suggestions
of new fields of usefulness for the future.
At noon a memorial service was held for
those who had departed this lie since the
last convention.
The afternoon session opened at l AS
with Bible reading by Mrs. Frank J..

dered by a quartet consisting of Misses
Florence Doane, Isabel Kerr, Clara Hv-
man and Zena Roberts.
Mrs. H. II. Luse, the county presid ent,
then rendered her annual report, which
was IN part as follows:
The city is still outraged by its fourte en-
miles OF saloons and disgraced by its unspeak-
able Police Court traVes lies on decency and
justice.
It IS still pillagod by its panopled office
holders and office seekers and hyeried hire
ings. It is stlll sCourgcd with the physical
and moral poison OF uncleanlnesS and made
impotent by the financial distress largely
caused by the costHness OF crime and idle
ness.
The election OF officers, which was then
held, resulted as follows: Pre- sident, Mrs
A. L. Barry; vice president, Mrs. C. B.
Williams; recording secretary, Mrs. r. A.

HEIRS WHO DEMAND CASH
Mrs Stanford's Application for a Dis
tribution " In Kind - Is Re-
sisted.

There was a notable gathering of lawyers
in Judge Coffey's court yesterday morning
10 attend the opening OF the contest with
regard to the proposed settlement of tie
estate OF the late Senator Leland STAN
ford. ALI the attorneys insist that there
is no serious difference of opinion, yet the
fact remains that important litigation
may be precipitated by the offer which is
made by the executrix, Mrs. Jane Lathrop
Stanford, in her petition to the Probate
Court
Mrs. Stanford admits that she has not
money enough on hand to pay all the
legacies provided for in her husbands 3
Will, and she asks permission of the court
to make distribution sin kind, >" as she was
empowered 10 do by her husband s will.
In pursuance OF this plan she offers to
distribute certain lands TO the legatees
under the will, the value of the same
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars.
These legatees are the nephews and
nieces of Senator and Mrs. Stanford, and
they now come forward with objections to
taking their shares in the shape of real
estate insisting that they should be paid
in cash.
Argument will be heard bv Judge Cof-
few touching this matter at O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon.

BILLY ELMER AFTER CASE,
He Is willing to Wager From Five
Hundred to Fifteen Hundred
Dollars on the Result.

Billy Elmer, the thespian pugilis t.
wants another "go'' at Dick Case, who
was declared the winner in the sixth
round in the recent bout.
''I was defeated fairly and squarely,"
said Elmer in speaking about the engage
ment, "but many of my friends believe
that things would bs reversed if we en-
tered the ring again. L can get backing
for $500 to $500, which l am willing to
wager on the result. In my last battle l
fooishly adopted the swinging blow in
stead of adhering to my old style OF fight
ing-the straight blow.
"The Occidental Club is talking very
strongly of giving me return match with
Case. Case wants me to fight at 135
pounds, but l couldn't get down to that
weight without seriously weakening my
self. / will fight Case at 142, weigh in at

say on the subject.
~ ueu you SHOW man where by in
yesung $ll5. 900 he is sure-because It is
guaranteed to him-of making $3.50, 900 on
the investment IN the first year after the
investment IS made, and with an almost
certainty OF repeating the profits every
subsequent year, and he won't invest
what Is the use in speaking about such a
man where a business proposition like
THIS is involved.
Now this is exactly the position the
twelve new Supervisors occupy.
I'VE went be.ore them at their request
and showed them that on fifty blocks OF
tho business portions of the city we had
made new surveys by which our revised
schedule would reduce rates at ar average
of Is Der cent, and fur her that for the in
vestment asked for we would be enabled
TO make an all-round reduction averaging
10 per cent all over the city, which would
amount in the aggregate 10 between $780,
coo and $3.50, 900 year.
