GREATEST OF THEM ALL.
High Tribute Buffalo Bill Paid to
General Miles-Plan of Porto
Rico Campaign Was Beauti-
ful-His Indian Fighting.

Colonel w. F. Cody, known the coun-
try over as Buffalo Bill was in the
city yesterday and was seen during
the afternoon by Tribune man in his
handsomely appointed private car. He
had just parted company with Captain
Goodwin, the local recruiting officer,
when the reporter was introduced.
Captain Goodwin and Colonel Cody
fought together against the Indians
during several campaigns in the west
and they are fast friends.
Buffalo Bll' is still q magnificent
specimen of manhood. Straight as an
arrow, his every movement betokens
activity and strength. Those who are
associated with him say he is a phe-
nomcnal worker. lie has every detail
connected with his immense show
thoroughly In hand all the time and
besides giving it a general supervision
he finds time to attend to many other
business interests.
He was full of war "reminiscences af-
ter Captain Goodwin left him yester-
day and the conversation naturally
turned to the late conflict. Colonel
Cody Is a warm personal friend and
an ardent admirer of General Miles
and believes he is being badly used.
ne upSS nOl hesitate TO say SO ellneT.
You will search history in vain for
greater general than Miles," said the
colonel yesterday. Just look at the
way he mapped out that Porto Rico
campaign. 1t was beautiful. During
the Indian uprising in 1890 when / was
under him in the Northwest he round
ed up the red men without spilling
any blood to speak of. Others tried
to Subdue the Indians with small bodies
of troops and found they made a mis-
take. General Miles ordered all the
available men to the scene of the
trouble, surrounded the irate red men
and then gradually contracted the cir
Gle until the Indians had no resource
left but surrender. That's general
ship. He has never lost a fight in
which he was in command"
Colonel Cody has two of General
Miles horses with him. The one on
which he makes his entrance in the
| Wild West show was ridden for some
| time by General Miles in the West.
| The other, a beautiful white animal.
was frequently ridden by President
Mckinley and Colonel Cody has a pho

ANOTHER JUVENILE THIEF.
Stole a Brass Valve to Sell It to a
Junk Dealer.

Uncomfortable junk k-dealers-encour-
aged or at least not greatly discouraged
by lax jurors-are responsible for an
other mere child beginning life with
the fclon's mark on his brow.
This latest victim of pernicious
Fagins is a fourteen-y -year-old boy from
Luzernc street, lad of excellent fam
lily and home surroundings. He was
caught Saturday afternoon by Patrol
man Potter while making away with
a brass gate valve from the Dickson
works. He told Chief Robling at first
that he found it, but later admitted
that he stole it and intended to sell 1t
to "a rag man."
While considering what disposition
should be made of the case, Mayor
Moir released the boy on $500 bail,
which was furnished by his father. The
valve is worth 500. The boy hoped to
get enough out Of 1t to take him to the

CITIZENS MOVEMENT.
The crusade which is responsible for
all this excitement is no Travers or
Maloney affair according to Detective
viii j.. Clifford, who is acting for the
citizens committee. 1t is movement,
he says, on the part of Il few of the
most prominent citizens of the town to
bring about something like a decent
| observance of the law.
There are only five licensed places
| in the borough of Archibald. Previous
to the last session OF license court
| there were more than twice this num-
| ber. The large falling off in licenses
set an inquiry afoot which disclosed
that only a few of the old houses had
made application for a renewal of
their licenses. A further inquiry de-
| veloped the startling fact that the
| proprietors of the old places that had
| not applied for renewals, had had a
secret meeting and agreed not to take
out licenses this year, feeling that it
was unjust to them to have to pay a
| fee while q dozen or more of very pre-
tentious saloons were doing a wide
open business year after year without
paying a fee-at least without paying
q fee to the county
In a word they were led to believe
that the constables were issuing cheap
er licenses than the court and they
concluded to patronize home industry
This was crowding things little toe
much, the good people of the town
thought, and they proceeded to call a
halt to it, Detective Clifford was en-
gagged to secure evidence against the
violators and when he had procured
witnesses enough to establish a clear
case against each and every one OF
them he sent them the following no.

Knocked Out in The First Round.

Sunday morning the yard engine was
doing some switching when a half
drunken tramp stepped on the track and
threw switch with the evident purpose
of derailng the engine. Fireman Eaton
saw the fellow and the engineer rever-
sed his machine and Fireman Eaton got
off and demonstrated with the fellow in
a mild sort of way when the fellow drew
a razor on the young fireman and began
brandishing it in threatening manner.
Eaton called the bluff and proceeded to
polish off the knocker of the tramp's
big front door in true pugilistlc style.
In other words he knocked the everlast.
ing tar out of him the first round.
The fellow was picked up and hauled
to the county hospital where he now is
lying and meditating on what might
have been while Eaton is shoveling coal
as though nothing bad happened

FRED MUNS0N KILLED.

A horrible accident happened in the
Elko railroad yard about 6 40 Saturday
morning by which Fred Munson lost his
life. From what we are able to learn
Fred was in Carlin Friday and announc-
ed his intention of coming to Elko Sat
urday. This morning his mangled re-
mains were found strewn along the
railway track between the switch, just
above the freight house. and the cattle
corral. 1t seems that Fred got on the
brake beam OF special this morning at
Carin, supposing that the train would
stop at Elko and he could get off. The
train did not stop in Elko, but went
through town at over twenty miles an
hour. Fred seeing that the train was
not going to stop evidently tried to get
off the beam and in doing so his head
struck the switch and he was knocked
under the wheels. His body was drag
ged along the track and all except the
right arm was found near the east end
