ELoPED TO CHICAGO.
Robert Roth and Miss Edith Dau Steal a
March on the Old Folks.

The old adage that love finds way
has again been demonstrated in this
city, for Saturday. Notwithstanding
parental objections Robert Roth and
Miss Edith Dau. two we'll known young
people of this city, eloped to Chicago
and were joined in the holy bonds of
matrimony by Judge Gibbons.
The announcement of the marriage
came as great surprise to all their
relatives and friends, as none of them
had been let into the secret. None
we're more surprised than the parents
of the young lady and when the facts
of the marriage we're announced to them
by reporter of this paper Saturday
evening they refused to believe it.
The el0pemenr was carefully arrang-
ed and skillfully carried out. The
young couple had been engaged fol
some time, but the marriage had been
opposed by the parents of the bride on
account of her youth, as she is not yet
20 years of age. Mr.. Roth had made
the proper request for the hand of the
young lady, and when the young people
were urged to wait they decided to
take the matter in their own hands. 1t
was all arranged Friday. Saturday
Miss Dau had arranged to go to Chica-
go to visit some friends. When she
reached the station she was met by the
prospective bridegroom. The two went
to the city and after the wedding they
returned to Kenosha. Mr.. Roth went
to bis boarding house and Mrs. Roth to
the home of her parents. Neither said
anything of the marriage. Later in
the evening a telegram was received
from Chicago, stating that the young
people had been married. The groom
was found in a company of friends and
and at first denied that he was married.
Later, however, he admitted that the
story was true. At 9 o'clock Saturday
evening an effort was made to see the
bride, but she had retired early without
letting her parents and sister into the
secret. When told of the wedding her
sister said she was not surprised, as
she noticed a ring on her finger when
she returned from Chicago.
The parents Of the bride, when they
heard of the marriage, gave their for
givana4e ard blessing and the young
people will go to housekeeping in few
days. This paper joins many friends
in wishing that the romantic marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Roth will open to them
life of continued happiness.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL RAID.
The Sheriff and Police Make Call at the
White Horse Inn.

Sheriff Timme assisted by the mem
bers of the city police force and dozen
deputies made an unsuccessful raid
last night on the resort west of the city
known as the White Horse Inn. Sew
eral weeks ago A. P. Becker, a man
living in the neighborhood of the place
made complaint against it and the
warrants were duly issued. Last night
was picked out as a good time to make
the raid. About midnight the minions
of the law were hustled into a carriage
and driven TO the resort. The house
was speedily surrounded in order to
make escape impossible. Then the
sheriff and the chief of police went to
the door and demanded admittance.
They were ushered into the room and
searched the house but nothing was
found which would justify an arrest.
Not person was found in the house
with the exception of two women. The
officers claim that some of the deputies
employed gave the people OF the resort
a tip. s.. 51S 6 s2s5

ROBBERY AT BRISTOL.
Horse, Buggy and Suit of Clothes Stolen
From Grin Stonebraker.

The little town of Bristol was the
scene of robbery Sunday night, for
some time during the night thieves
broke into the barn of Grin Stone
braker, and carried away buggy and
bay horse.
About the same time the thieves
broke into the house and carried off a
new black suit of clothes belonging to
Mr.. Stonebraker.
Two people are suspected of the
crime. One is a tramp, who was seen
around the farm Sunday afternoon, and
the other suspect is an adopted son of
Stonebraker. The owner of the horse
was in the city this morning and
reported the case to the police. He
seems to feel certain that the horse as
we'll as the other things missing were
taken by the boy and the tramp. A
search for the men was instituted this
morning, but neither of them could be
found anywhere in the country about
Bristol.
The loss to Stonebraker will be over
5000, as the horse was valued at $3.50.
The accused men have not been seen
in Kenosha, but if they come here they
will certainly be captured, as the
police have made every precaution to
prevent their escape.

MAD DOGS IN PARIS.
CANNES Affected With the Rabies Kill the
Horses of Ferdinand Mellenbach.

Reports from the town of Paris state
that the little town is suffering from
terrific mad dog scare. The dogs in
the village seem to be nearly all af-
fected with some sort of a disease SINH
lar to hydrophobia, and thus far while
none of the people of the town have
suffered any injury, many horses and
cattle have been bitten by the animals
and it has been necessary to kill them.
The farmers report that some time ago
a mad dog ran through that part of the
county and before it was killed mum
Der of the dogs belonging to residents
were bitten. Since that time nearly
all these dogs have been taken with the
rabies. The worst case is reported
from the farm of Ferdinand Mellen-
bach. Monday afternoon some of the
dogs entered the horse pasture on the
farm and leaped upon three valuable
horses belonging to Mr.. Mellenbach.
All of them were terribly bitten and a
short time after they were affected in a
manner similar to a dog affected with
rabies. All of them were killed. Many
dogs have already been killed and it is
feared that it will be found necessary
to kill off the entire canine population
of the town. The epidemic has not as
yet been reported from any other part
of the county.

PLEASED WITH OUR PROSPECTS

John n. Buxton of Baltimore, Nd,
spen. several days In Eureka last week, as
the guest of Bert l.. Smith, cashier OF the
Eureka County Bank. While here Mr..
Buxton, in company with Postmaster
Broy, inspected the various mining prop
critics Of the district. He was very much
pleased with the outlook for ore and was
convinced that the district is among the
foremost as a producer Of precious metals.
During the four days that he was here he
visited the Silver Conner group, Ruby
Hill Tunnel, Oriental q Belmont and
Barton q Altoona groups. inspecting them
thoroughly. He broke ore from various
places and took samples from the different
mines Of these groups ss we'll as adjacent
properties. Before leaving he had some Of
the samples asssyed al the Eureka Con.
office, return OF which We give below.
The sample from the Silver Conner as
ssyed 215.4O ounces silver and s34.60
ounces gold, giving q value per ton of
1000 pounds as follows !: Silver s129.2
gold SIS. s57 40, q total Of SIS, 1856. GA.
Samples from the Oriental & Belmont
sssayed 106.s0 ounces silver, 2.6O ounces
gold and 55.5 per cent lead. giving q total
value Of s157 As per ton.
Samples from the Barton & Altoona gave
GA. 40 ounces silver. 16 20 ounces gold and
$3.50 per cent lead. giving q total value
per ton Of $374.32. The gold alone in this
sample was valued at 1907. 80 per ton.
In the face Of the above results and the
fact that our annual shipments from this
section amount 70 10000 tons Of shipping
ore, il stands 10 reason that in point Of
richness and amount Of ore in sight the
Eureka district to-day Is second to none
in the State. not excepting the celebrated
Comstook OF Virginia City.

Duckwater Ranches Sold,

Quite an important transfer of Nye
county ranch properties took place in Eu
reks Wednesday. Mrs. Joseph Mendes
sold the Strait ranch 10 Marshal Rich, and
the Joe Msndss old home ranch to W. F.
Msndes. Both places are located on Duck
water and are fine hay ranches. We were
unable 10 learn the consideration, but I'M.
derstand il was low. The large number
Of sheep, that for several years past have
been driven into that part Of Nye county
from Idaho and various counties Of
Nevada, has compelled the cattle raisers
In that section TO sell off their herds,
thus destroying the principal and sbou.
the only market for the hay Of the Duck
water ranchers. Ranch property in that
section has In consequence greatly depre-
ciated in value.

Opportunity for Cattle Buyers

A few cattle buyers have been through
the country south Of Eureka during the
week. but reports say they are not offering
fair prices. On account OF the short hay
crop on 8 number OF the ranches. and the
high prices offered for cattle In the market
reports, many ranchers will sell a good
part Of their stock. and several have deci.
ded to dispose Of theire entir herds should
satisfactory prices be offered. Under ex-
listing circumstances there is certainly q
good opportunity for buyers to gather in
quite q bunch OF cattle In this section.
