A True Story.

/
ED. BULLENIN: This from a man
who lives in Aurora, and | will IN
hesitatingly youch for its truth for
the reason that he still lives in Auro-
ra--has lived there from its infancy
and is imbued with the belief that all
good souls who have ever felt the at
fractions of that elevated spot re-
turn there after death to live eter-
nally-if they are truthful.
Now, Mark Twain lived there (may-
beso he will never return) and Bob
Rowland, quoudam assistant to c. e.
belong, when that gentleman was
Minister to Japan, Bob lived in Au-
rora too. He has not returned, al
though from the above belief he has
chance, since he is dead, and the
argument among the old-time Auro-
ties is that there must be a stronger
force that keeps him away. Maybe
he is in-jail
Well, there was a telegraph liue to
Aurora in the early sixties-war
times. l forgot to say that Classy
Wilson lived in Aurora while Mark
and Bob were there; but he was a
rabid rebel, aud of course don't
count. Fighting was hard in the
south and news scarce outside the
telegraph office at Aurora.
Wellington is out in the country,
away from direct communication.
Gassay Williams had gone TO Well
ington for a load of supplies, chick
ems, turkeys, ETC., to feed gullable
Aurora. Beb Rowland is called to
Carson a few days later. Meets Gas
sy returning with load. Classy is a
rebel and Rowland Yankee. How
land is chock full of war news. Gas
sy has heard nothing for y week and
is anxious for news.
Gassy-What's the news from the
war, Bob?
Bob (hesitating) = Pretty tough,
Classy; the rsbs. have knocked EN-
out in Pennsylvania and have taken
Washington, President and all.
Gassy-You're not lying, Bob?
Bob-Wish the truth was the other
way.
Gassy-Well, Bob, don't feel so
bad about it, though l do feel awful
good. Say, Bob, I've a couple of
baskets of champagne on the wagon,
and I'm going back with you to
Wellington, and have the biggest
turkey in the coop cooked, and you
and and everybody will have h
Of time Great news, ain it, Bob?
Bob-Well, Classy, it's pretty hard
for man to celebrate over his coua-
try's downfall.
| Gassy-Come on, Bob; maybe l
would have taken drink with you If
you had whipped US.
They proceed to wellington, eat
turkey and drink wine, and have the
hot time agreed upon.
Next morning Bob starts for Car
son, Classy for Aurora. Classy meets
another man from Aurora, a COM
patriot.
Gassy-By heavens, Jim, that's
great news for US, Amt it?
Jim-What news?
Classy repeats Howland's story.
Jim-Howland got little mixed,
Classy. He Should have told you
that we got licked-licked bad
Gassy-If l ever get sight of How
land again I'll shoot Tim, sure; the
truthful gentleman from Aurora!
I hope he'll stew in the middle kettle
of hell. My turkey and wine gone on

Bob returned to Aurora-but be-
fore death.

SILVER PEAK.

Ed BULLETIN: Work on the hin
mines goes on day and night and the
plles OF ore are increasing rapidly.
Inc only drawback we have is the
cost OF transportation. Wood has
10 he hauled over the worst roads on
earth for II or Is miles, while the
ore is brought down hills so steep
Shat 1t requires three shoes TO tgo
wagons to keep them from running
over the team. The turns are so
snort that the driver can spank the
leaders OF 16 animal team on the
basement to get the string straight
ened out. Sometimes on the sharp
pitches the swamper on the hind
wagon can lean over and whisper in
ehe drivers ear while he sits on his
saddle horse. Should capital bring
water and electric power to the hill,
Alaska would mot be in it,"
The leachiag works started up a
fey days age, The tanks have ca
paeity OF 20 tons, and it takes lot
OF tailings to run the works.
The Mary mine is producing a fine
grade of ore, and the force OF men is
being increased as rapidly as the
ground is opened. 1t will only be a
little while before the mine will food
the mill with ore.
The Fish Lake farmers are getting
in their second crop of alfalfa, and
they have been blessed with a splen-
did crop. The fruit trees and vines
have been overburdened, and vegeta-
tables of all kinds are abundant. 1t
is 4 shame that hostile legislation
should have made it impossible for
the farmers to sell and the miner to
buy the products, when they are do
ing their utmost to make the country
prosperous.
Bunch grass in the range is look
ing fine, and cattle are in prime con-
dillon.
A band OF Comstock miners came
in last week to open up the Blair
mines, and they will have no use for
pick here. Six picks to a ton of
powder is about the average think
the BULLETIN has done more to call
attention to the resources of Esme-
ralda county than any other paper Oh
the coast, and the result is capital is
Looking this way and will probably
develop these great properties.
The Fall scraps have commenced
and we have had several scraps late
ly, but it is to the credit of our whis-
ky that there has only been one man
shot in two years and not more than
dozen mix-ups" in all that time
We have no use for jail or peace
officer, apd we have had NO POstmas-
ter for the past six months, so moth
ing troubles us, not even the U. S.
mail we have not had an Examiner
for more than week. The stage
comes in twice week and delivers
the mail at place half q mile from
town, on the edge of the salt marsh.
We have petitioned our representa-
tives for change, but fear we have
no representatives. for the people of
this State cannot get even decent
mail facilities from the Postoffice De-
partment.
1t looks favorable now for sale of
the Blair mines, and If it goes Silver
Peak will be mining camp.

WANTS A DIVORCE
Mrs. Smiley Wants to Have Some
Individuality

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Elizabeth
L. Smiley commenced proceedings here
today for limited divorce from Chas.
w. Smiley. They were married in this
city in 1890. Mrs. Smiley alleges that
they are first cousins; declares that
some time previous to their marriage
her husband had inoculated her with
ideas not in accordance with modern
civilization, and such was the influence
the defendant gained over her mind
that she saw things only in the light in
which he presented them to her, rarely
exercising her own judgment, so much
SO that she would put In writing requests
to him to do many things utterly at va
rance with common sense and admis-
sions as to her conduct" and that he
even made her believe ii was favor to
take sums of money and invest them
in his name.
Continuing, the petition recites that
"he has made her married life one OF
continuous self-effacement, abnega-
tion and bending to his WILL and she has
been made to believe it her duty to yield
to the slightest wish of an arbitrary and
eXacting self-appointed judge and mas
ter"
She alleges that ne thought she de-
served such treatment in order to be-
come worthy to move in the same high
plane in which he has led her to believe
he moved.
The petitioner asserts that she made

YELLOW FEVER
No Precaution Neglected to Prevent
Spread


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-The state
board of health has decided that here
after all Pullman cars coming into the
state must be thoroughly disinfected
Immediately upon arrival at destination.
The disinfectant to be used is formal
dehyde gas, which will not injure the
furnishings of the cars or leave any
disagreeable odor.
The board has also passed resolution
declaring Guaymas and Mazatlan in
fected ports, owing to the prevalence of
yellow fever at both places.
DIR. Hill, acting state quarantine Of
ficer, reported today that the three yell
low fever patients at Angels island are
recovering. The bark Imperator, on
which the patients arrived is being fu-
migated and may be released this week.
PENSACOLA, Fla.-Three privates of
the First artillery are now in the hos
pital at Fort Barrancas with yellow
fever. Trained nurses have been sent
from here to attend them and they are
all reported to be doing nicely. The
opinion is gaining ground that the pres
ent infection originated at the fort from
the tearing down during the past sum-
mer of the old hospital in which many
yellow fever patients We're treated many
years ago.
WASHINGTON.-A to the
last weekly report issued by the surgeon
general of the Marine hospital service,
giving the returns to the 10th inst, there
had then appeared during the yellow
fever epidemic in the south a total OF
1929, of which 446 had proved fatal. Al

tients died, and at Mobile less than Il

COMMERCIAL WAR
England's Interpretation Of Count
Goluchowski's Appeal

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The Evening
Posts London correspondent cables to
this paper today that Count Goluchow-
skis appeal to Europe "is interpreted
into a battle cry of q commercial war of
Pam Europe VS.. Pan-America. England
clearly was not included in Europe in
Count Goluchowski's mind, nor can he
have had the Dingley tariff chiefly in
mind, for it hardly affects Autsria. More
probably this is the latest phase Of rap
prochemeht between Austria and Rus
sia.
The Vienna correspondent of, the Lon
don Standard, according to this cable
gram asserts that Count Goluchowski
referred to the competition with import
ed beef and corn, which after the COM
pletion Of the Siberian road, Russia
means to supply Europe, supplanting
American, Argentina and Indian compe-
tition.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Times tclegraphs this morning with
reference to a semi official inquiry just
opened there into the condition Of the
Austrian export trade. says: UNLESS a
marked change occurs In the politico-
economic views prevailing there, 1t is
likely that the defensive measures
against American protectionism. which
are regarded as among the most press
ing necessities of the immediate future,
will themselves be Of a protectionist
character"

ARRoYo's s1AYERs
Ten Of the Criminals Sentenced to
Death

00aJu
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 22.-The great
trial of Arroyos murderers is over, hav-
Ing terminated this evening with the
sentence of death pronounced on ten
OF the police officials and policemen con-
.cerned In the butchery Of the hapless
wretch whose audacious attempt on the
presidents life caused so profound q
sensation here. The jury was out over
seven hours, returning its verdict at s
p. M, and Judge Flores delivered his
confirmation verdict at about o'clock.
The prisoners stood up and the gend-
armes presented arms during the de-
liverance. The court room was crowded,
for the closing scenes in the trial were
most dramatic. Villavicencio and Ca
brera took the verdict coolly, as, in fact,
did all the prisoners. BellidO was SEN
fenced to eleven months Imprisonment
and Cueller, who bought the knives at
the order of his master, the late In
spector General Velasquez, and also
Bravo, were acquitted and set free.
The condemned men do not yet seem
to realize their perilous position. Their
lawyers entered an appeal in each case.
Public opinion sustains the verdict.

the Grand Jury himself. He then be-

tine Grand jury ntmSelf. He then be-
gan q most searching examination of
each individual member of the body. 1t
was along the line to find if any MEM
Der had disclosed secrets of the Grand
Jury and with particular reference to
certain allegations which had been made
| in the San Francisco Call. No murder
examination was ever conducted with
more rigidness. Before beginning his
questions, His Honor referred to the
alleged leakage of secrets and said if
he found such to be true, he would at
tempt to severely impress it upon the
minds of all members that it was a
violation of the law. All of the mem-
bers were examined from Foreman
Cook, down. Nothing was discovered
until Rucker was reached. He said he
had been approached and information
sought by two men. One of these gave
his name as Crimmins and said he rep
resented the Call. Another man, whose
name he did not know, who said he
represented the same paper. had asked
for information. The Grand Juror said
he gave none. The examination then
went on down the line until Grand
Juror T. w. Carroll was reached. Here
big sensation was reached. Carroll
declined to answer the many questions
put to him.
II stand on my constitutional rights"
he said. II am not represented by an
attorney and am unable to direct my
self. I decline to answer"
However, in the course of the examina-
| ton, Carroll said he had been ap-
preached and asked about Grand Jury
matters.
did you give out information = asked
the court.
II decline to answer"
Here Judge Lorigan abruptly ad-
journed court until 2 O'Clock, ordering
all members Of the Grand Jury to return
at that hour.
Just as his Honor was about to leave
the bench, fight occurred in the court
room. c. w. Collins, a spectator made
some remark to Reporter Sidenberg of
the San Francisco Call. about unearth-
ing 'the gang" City Councilman ]. P.
Fay overheard the remark and said:
you should be In the penitentiary for
Illegal voting. 1 can prove it, The
words were no more than out of Fay's
mouth when Collins struck him.
Officers then interfered and stopped
l
the fight.
At o'clock, after brief resume of
the proceedings, Judge Lorigan said
Grand Juror Carroll stood morally but
not legally convicted of perjury. He had
expected to discharge him, but this
would break the necessary number OF
members. He INSTRUCTED the body to
wind up its business and report. as its
time was out November 30 anyway.
He instructed the district attorney to
take criminal proceedings against Car
roll. He then denounced Carroll as a
scoundrel and cur. a man without tho
instincts of honesty and unfit for honest
men to associate with. It was a terrible
arraignment for Carroll. The Judges
voice shook with excitement and showed
his deep personal feeling. The matter
| is being discussed with intense interest
nnd trouble may result.
