chain. 1t is of interest to know that his
companion on the firing line looked dill
gently for the source from whence the
bullet came and finally saw a CLEAN in
tree about 400 yards away. The Span
lard, in reloading his magazine, had
shifted his gun so that the light of the
morning sun was reflected from it, The
companion, who was a sharpShooter,
then said to Detour, who was lying on
the ground: See me get him." He
shot and the Spaniard was seen to fall
to the ground, a distance of 80 feet from
the branches of the tree where he had
been concealed.
This morning a marriage license was
procured by Benz. Franklin Graham of
Townsend for himself and Miss Ada
Greaves of Radersburg. He was ac-
companied by Joseph Greaves, whose
presence was necessary to give consent
to his daughters marriage, as she is
but II years of age. Graham gave his
age at AZ. From here they continue
their way to California by wagon.
In the suit against the Northern Pa
cific Railway company for $4,000 dam
ages for injuries sustained by a young
son of Eliza Dave of Elkhorn, the
plaintiffs on Monday presented their ev-
idence as to the nature of the injury to
the boy, whose foot was caught in the
turntable of the defendant company
while he, with other boys, was playing
on it. 1t was shown by the attending
physician, DR.. Hinmers, that the foot
was saved only by the best surgical
skill, but that it was, when healed, and
always will be, stiff and cause a lame
ness. The boy on the witness stand
testified clearly as to the circumstances
of the injury, confessed to have known
of the danger, knew the distance be-
tween the end of the turntable and the
sides of the pit, and generally testified
in a very intelligent manner for boy
of II years. On the completion of evil
dence by the plaintiff the attorney for
the company moved for non-suit
principally on the ground that there
was contributory negligence on the part
of the boy, who had shown himself 20
be familiar with the danger. himself
removed the bar which enabled himself
and others to turn the table and thus
knowingly contributed to the accident
and to his injury. The court stated
that if there had been any doubt as to
the boys knowledge of the danger it
would have been proper matter to go
to the jury, but his evidence was so
clear on the matter that there seemed
no possibility of a doubt; he therefore
took the matter from the jury and
granted the motion for non suit.

INSULTS FOR KINDNESS
The Filipinos Couldn't Be Won
by Taffy.
KESSLER is A SOLDIER
Montana Boys Acknowledge That Thew
Wroneed Him - The Natives
Are Unable to Govern
Themselves.

The following is an extract from Tom
Maguire's letter to his uncle Manager
John Mcguire. The letter was written
last month and it deals with matters
in which Montana people, as well as
the whole world. are concerned. 1t was
written on the battlefield, near Manila.
and is as follows:
Up to date / have not received a
scratch. 1 have not missed days
duty since the 4th day of February.
though at times 1 have been pretty
SICK. me insurgents attacked our out
posts this morning at o'clock, wound
ing two men, one fatally.
1t can be seen by the number of
men that have died on the battlefield
that the Filipinos are not the defense
less people they are rumored to be; on
pie like these have $4,000 rifles and
about so cannon l do not think they
can be called defenseless.
The Americans tried to win them
over by kindness, but they insulted the
Americans. They thought we We're
scared of them. They went so far as to
push Americans off the sidewalks, and
fired on the Montana outposts three or
four days before the war started, but
our boys were too cool to start a fight.
Mind, uncle, / do not blame those peo-
pie for fighting for their country;
there Is not a man in the world who
would not fight for freedom, but those
people cannot rule themselves. If the
United States were to drop these ISL
ands it would only be very short time
till two or three other nations would
take them. The Philippine people, l
must say, are very bright race and in
years to come l think they will be all
right and well able to govern them
selves. There is not much difference
between them and the Japs.
'"These islands are rich in their prin-
cipal products-rice, hemp, tobacco and
fruit. AS far as gold is concerned in
these islands, l think it is all a myth.
1T is amusing to see fellows writing
home, talking about the bravery of
some of our officers. Well, uncle, |
may be wrong, but l do not give any
officer credit for being brave. They are
paid fat salaries for it, and they are
just simply doing their duty. You new
err hear a word about the poor private
soldier who dies on the field; never a
word about the poor $15-a- month man.
Il see the Helena people are in the
business of making generals. If there
is a man in the Montana regiment that
is entitled to become general, that
man is Colonel Kessler, the man that
most of the Montana men, myself
among them, abused. But the Mon
tana men were wrong; they did not
know their colonel then, but they know
him now. There is one thing we can
say about Kessler. and that is that he
is a soldier, and that he is no tin sol
der. There was a great change in the
regiment when Kessler began to run it.
I noticed that there were no more men
getting diShonorable discharges. This
company has been very lucky. We
bay 1n L n oil
eight wounded. ] think G. company
has suffered the most.
There Will be no re-enlistments
from volunteers. except some few who
have soft snaps. All are anxious to
get home again."

A Poor Mail Service

The United States Government has
provided for the mail TO be delivered Ia
Eureka six times week. For over
three months the buck board mail has
never arrived on time, but has been de-
laved so that it would not reach here
until quite late, thus making 1t imp0s-
sible to be delivered on the stated day,
as intended by Uncle sam. This has
inconvenienced many people quite seri-
ously. We hope now that the good
weather has come on and the roads are
in better condition these delays will
cease to occur.
The above from the Sentinel shows
that the people of Ely are not the only
sufferers from the Irregular mail SER
vice we have had this winter. The
worst of 1t has been that about half the
time the buck board has not made con-
nectiens with the east-bound mail train
at Palisade, and our stage, besides be-
ing delayed 10 hours TO make connec-
tions at Eureka, has been coming In
lately on buck board days without any
western mail. Iu fact, all winter the
service has amounted TO four nails q
week at best, whereas we are entitled
to six. We kicked and complained last
fall. but II seemed to do no good. We
have always believed here that If the
Postmaster at Eureka did his duty. the
buck board would be compelled to make
time to avoid fines. But however that
NAV he there Ia a remedy in the hands
of the people of Ely that will certainly
be adopted very soon, unless there is
great Improvement in the Eureka route,
and that Is to petition the Department
for stage six times week via Cherry
Creek. Justice requires US to say thai
no blame for the present poor service
attaches to the line between here ant

Sadler VS., Mcmillan.

Last Wednesday the Supreme Court
handed down its decision on the demur-
rer filed by Mcmillan to the answer of
Sadler to the original complaint in the
Gubernatorial contest case. The only
two really important points to be de-
cided involved the validity of the vote
in Storey and Washoe counties, which
Sadler wanted thrown out on teehni-
calities. The Storey county vote was
objected to by Mr.. Sadler, because the
name Of Col Conboie appeared on the
ballots as a candidate for State Senator
to fill Col. Lords unexpired term,
whereas the Senate decided there was
no vacancy. The Court oyerruled the
objection and refused TO throw out the
vote, which was a signal victory for
Mcmillan, who received a good plural
ity in Storey county.
As to Washoe county. Mcmillan S de-
murrer was "over-ruled for the pres
ent", and the Court has reserved its
decision until after hearing the evil
dence. Sadler objects to the vote Of
Reno on the ground that each voter
marked his ballot for all five city coun-
cilmen, instead of voting for the coun-
Gilman from his own precinct only.
He objects also to 300 votes, on the
ground that they We're illegally regis
tered by Judge Linn, who was sick and
had some one else do the work for him.
This Reno vote is the key to the whole
situation. II it is thrown out, Sadler
wins; if it IS declared legal, Mcmillan
wins his case. The facts are ell ad-
mitted and it is simply a question of
law for the Court TO decide, and its duty
is certainly TO make the decision as
promptly as possible. To requil that
the case be tried on its merits before
this question Is determined, is to sub
ject the parties to the suit to unneces-
sary expense. McAlillan's attorneys
on Thursday filed a petition requesting
submission of the Reno points,
as they are Familiarity known, and ask
ing a decision of the law involved, be-
fore the trial proceeds.
The above facts we're CLEANED by Us
from the Carson papers. The Appeal
declares that the decision practical y
gives Sadler the case, while the News
claims the advantage for Mcmillan.

The trial OF Shaw and Bowie, the
parties who are alleged to have robbed
the c. P. train near Humboldt House
last fall, is rapidly drawing to close at
Winnemucca The prosecution has sub

the defense an opportunity to show its
side of the case.
Monday forenoon Attorney Truman,
attorney for the defendants, occupied
the attention of the Court and jury
with the reading OF NUMBER of depo-
sitions from Burns, Oregon, which went
to show that the accused were at that
place at the time that the crime with
which they are charged, was commit

OPERATIONS AT THE ROBUST

An old style rock crusher Is being
placed in position at the Robust mill to
take the place temporarily of the Fol-
som crusLer and operations viii prob
ably be resumed to-day. Two tanks
of pulp have been drained and three
are now undor solution. Manager Da-
Wis informs us that the values OF the
ore and the percentage saved thus far
have been highly satisfactory.
Besides the ore that is being put
through the mill, rich streak has
been struck In the lowest level, from
which a shipment OF about six tons was
made to Salt Lake City last Sunday.
In fact, all Of the reports from the
mine are very encouraging and its con-
dition improves as development pro-
crosses.
VIM. B. Folsom, the inventor OF the
Folsom Crusher and Disintegrator that
has been tested at the Robust mill, ar
rived here last Tuesday evening to
examine into the causes OF the unsatis-
fac tory work done by that machine.
Since the mill started up, the machine
has been the caus, OF continual delays

ations to a full stop by stripping most

Rich Copper Strike in the Norris.

A strike of high grade copper ore
was made this week in the drift from
the bottom of the l00-foot shaft on the
Morris mine in West Camp. Some
samples brought down by Mr.. Riepe
last Monday show for themselves.
An assay made OF one sample went 42. }
per cent copper. There is over foot
Of this grade exposed in the face OF the
drift, while an average of 20 per cent is
claimed for width of feet. The cop
per is in the form OF an oxide, and car
ries considerable iron, making it an
ideal smelling ore.
This discovery, if it proves to be a
permanent ledge, has a special value to
others besides its lucky owner. The
surface showing of copper throughout
West Camp it so great that it exeites
the wonder Of all beholders, but many
sksptics have declared that it does not

fact that in few propect holes, sunk
in nnpromising places, the ore pinehed
out. Systematic prospecting has never
been attempted before, except on the
Josie, where, though the ore got poorer
in copper, it became richer in gold as
depth was attained. The fact that such
high grade copper ore has been found
100 feet below the surface at one point
on the belt, will lend fresh encourage
ment to adjoining claim owners.

PANIC AND DEATH.
Fire Destroys the Electrical EXPOSE
ton Buildings mt Como, Italy
Three Persons Killed.

Como, Italy, July 1O.-Fire broke out
Saturday in the buildings of the cleo
trical exposition at Como, starting in
the marine section and quickly spread
ing in all directions. The buildings
were burned to the ground, and of all
the valuable exhibits and the priceless
relics of Count Alessandro Volta, in
honor of whose memory Como was
chosen as the place for holding the en-
position, hardly anything was saved.
The discovery of fire caused panic
among the many visitors to the exhibit
ton, and three persons were killed and
20 wounded. The material loss will
amount to 100000 lire Isl ,OoO,O0O), but
the historical and scientific loss Is meal
culable, for quantities of documents
and instruments that cannot be re-
placed were destroyed. The insurance
carried by the exposition authorities
will not exceed one-fifth of the loss.
