Churches to Be Established

on the Desert.
Evangelist Nagle Given Hearty
Support in Randsburg and

First Telegram Sent From the Dis.

From Kramer.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Neb. 16.-The lat
est project at the famous mining camp of
Randsburg and its newer neighbor, Jo-
hannesburg, is in the line of evangelical
labors. for which there is said to be 'emi-
nent domain" Evangelist Nagle of the
Episcopal Church has been preaching at
various times in an improvised skating
rink at Randsburg. He has had large
numbers of rough but honest miners to
hear his sermons and has been given SUBJ
stantial encouragement in his chosen
work.
Parson NagIe has now decided to estab-
lish churches in both Randsburg and Jo-
hannesburg, having been given lot and
other substantial inducements in johann
nesburg, with similar help in Randsburg.
The two towns are so near together that
he can easily work in both, and it may
be truthfully said that both places afford
a wide field for evangelical work.
A change he's taken place in the town
site management at Johannesburg. Eas-
ton, Eidridge & Co. of San Francisco will
now have entire charge and control of the
townsite and everything connected with
it. George Easton was there yesterday
and completed all arrangements, leaving
for San Francisco this forenoon. He ex-

The telegraph line reached Johannes

Los ANGELES AFFRAE.
Gambler 0'Keefe Shoots Another of the
Profession ard Wounds
Bystd1dec,

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 16.-A gang
of "tin-horn" gamblers and "sure-thing"
men, Including Bob and Henry Anderson,
brothers, and William o Keefe, alias Bill
knight, alias Charley Keith, got into a
row in the Elite saloon, on South Spring
street. about o'clock this evening, and
O'Keefs got much the worst of the en-
counter at the hands of Bob Anderson.
Angered by his defeat and bearing an
old grudge against Anderson. O'Keefe
quit the saloon. only to return in a few
minutes with revolver il his hand. BOB
Anderson was leaning against the bar and
did not observe the approach of O'Keefe.
Harry Anderson saw the enraged man
approaching his brother and stepped in
front of the revolver bearer just in time to
stop with his left side ball intended for
his brother.
The bullet struck rib and passed around
to point near the spinal column.
O'Keefe fired again in the direction of
Bob Anderson, but instead of hitting his
foe he wounded bystander in the right
groin. This unfortunate Individual proved
10 be an old German pickle peddler named
Damien Gebhardt.
After this O'Keefe handed his revolver
to an acquaintance, walked briskly out of
the saloon and went to his stopping place
on Twelfth street, near Union avenue.
There he was found by Detective Steele
soon afterward. Steele brought the shooter
to the station and locked him up. His
face and left eye showed signs of rough
treatment and a finger had been crushed
in the melee.
II is said O'Keefe as acted as ''capper"
for this saloon for some time. Warren
King owned the Elite until few weeks
ago. He had some differences with O'Keefe
recently and sold the place TO Anderson
and Thomas of the Eintracht saloon on
North Spring street. The Elite has long
borne hard name, many complain is
reaching the police station respecting
gam bling games in the place.
O'Keefe. or Charley Keith, as he is
known about town, is not unknown to the
police officers. He belongs to gang of
confidence men. He was asked for his
side of the story shortly after his arrest,
but declined to make any statement for
publication, saying that he had been ad-
vised to say nothing. The hospital sur
eeons say that the two wounded men Will
probably recover, Anderson's wound being
the least serious.

Tuck is his name, and be prefxes it with

Tuck is an inventor-as versatile an in

he has been q resident of San Francisco
for over forty years.
Inventor Tuck maintains he is not a
crank-far from it. No man ever talked
more sanely on subjects of mechanical en-
gineering. He is geoloeist and mining
engineer by profession. His inventions
include everything from a death-dealing
submarine torpedo boat to sure preven-
