Would be Mayors Bluff Called

The city election campaign is on,
and has started off with a vim and
enthusiasm which show that our
citizens are awake to the import
ance Of the occasion.
The first engagement of the cam
paign was fought Tuesday morn
ing, and after the dead and wound
ed had been cleared from the field
of action, the opposing forces rested
on their arms, and at this writing
are still resting
1t came about somewhat in this
style, so the non -combatants and
war correspondents state:
A number of citizens were gath
cred in the Hub Clothing store
Tuesday morning discussing city
politics. A. B. Baker, who had
been nominated for mayor the
night before entered the store, and
was taken to task for his change of
front on various propositions. Mr..
Baker became abusive in his re-
marks, and was especially abusive
to }. j. Murray, nominee for city
clerk on the ticket opposed by
Baker. Mr.. Murray is not natur-
ally of a belligerent disposition, and
he warned Mr.. Baker to use care in
his speech. Baker thereupon
hurled a choice lot of epithets at
Murray, but when he called the
latter a g. of a b., and com
menced to take off his coat in an
evident intent at bluffing, Murray,
although by many pounds averdu-
pois the lighter man, Immediately
cleared decks for action, and the
battle was on. When the would
be-mayor was finally rescued, he
was in a badly demoralized con-
dition, and although the damage
was all above water line, he was
Immediately docked for repairs.
His wounded head will undoubtedly
resume its natural condition, for
the swelling will be taken out of it
on December 4th, bat his feelings
are mortally injured.

READ IT IN HIS EYE.
The Cuban Understood the soldier
and at Once Gave Up HIS Pros.
peOtive Prey.

This occurred at Siboney, while the
town was in flames. Panic had hold of
everybody but the American troops,
who were vainly endeavoring to con-
duct an orderly evacuation.
A lanky rough rider was hurrying
through the town on some mission,
says the Philadelphia North American,
when he came abreast of half-starved
Spanish woman, who bore every trace
of wealth and refinement in her face,
manner and dress, and was struggling
to keep child, barely able to walk, at
her side and at the same time restrain
a burly Cuban from robbing her of a
walnut box tipped with silver, which
she held under her arm.
The rough rider took in the situation
at glance. He couldn't speak Spanish,
so he let loose wild yell peculiar to
the genus cowboy, and at the same
time leveled his gun at the rascally
Cuban.
Then, to relieve his own feelings, he
yelled in good vigorous English: We're
down here to fight men, not wom-
en- and children, and if you don't sneak
I'll drop youl"
The Cuban read the message in the
soldiers eyes and skunk away, while
the rough rider conducted the woman
and child to headquarters, and then
went about his business.

PIoCHE. NEVADA. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY Is 1900

abandoned and broken by both par
ties for some time past. The Water
Company failed to keep thu requisite
supply of water on hand and the
Commissioners refused to contribute
to the repairs of the pipes.
The general dullness and stagna-
ton is the cause of this lack of in
terest and it ought not to continue.
At the last meeting of the Commits
sioners, the Water Company offered
to provide water for fire purposes,
but under conditions better suited to
our present condition than when the
first contract was made.
The matter will be brought up
again at the March meeting of the
Board, and in the meantime, prop
erty owners of the town should see
that arrangements are made for the
renewal of the contract.
AS long as the water system is kept
up as at present we ought to enjoy
the protection from fire which a good
supply of water in the tanks affords.
1t has been the means of saving the
town several times heretofore. 1t
will not be done however unless
property owners generally interest
themselves in the matter.
The water system has not been
self sustaining for a long time past
and it is question Of how long the
owners will be willing to maintain
the present service at continued loss
to themselves. The benefit is all on
the town side and the water system
should be made self supporting,
otherwise we may lose it entirely,
and have substituted for it, the old
system of wagon haul and delivery
which existed before the pipes were
put in.

PloCHE FIRE FUND

The tax rate for the town Fire
Fund was raised from 20 to 80 cents
on the 800. at the levy made last
week. The increase in tax amounts
to nothing however, when the shrink
age in valuation of town property is
considered. Several property own
ers about town desire to put the fire
apparatus in better condition and to
give it regular attention hereafter
This ought to be done, for when
needed its services are usually wan
ted bad, with no time 20 stop for re-
pairs. Everybody in town should
taae intrest in the matter to see that
the machines are put in first class
working order.

whether God is carrying water on
both shoulders. .-Chartz in Genoa

but the machine is surrounded by the

When Chief Hilton determined that
the slot machine should go most of

was pretty foxy. The contrivance went
down under the counter only and when
somebody wanted to play il was pro-
duced, after the cOunteTsign had been
given.
The bartenders know about every
officer on the force, and, of course. the
game was suspended when one passed
that way. 1t was extremely difficult
to catch anybody in the act of playing,
Notwithstanding Chief Hilton had
threatened to lay off the policeman
who allowed a slot machine on his
beat So yesterday Sperry put on citi-
zens' clothes, turned up his collar,
pulled his hat down and sauntered into
the bar room. He waited long enough
to see several people drop in their nick

half full of nickels. John Doe put up
s. for his appearance tomorrow, and
the boys at headquarters amused them
selves all night with the COnfscated

WITH ELEVATOR
at the Joint Building and
Charlie Gulbransen Came to the
Rescue

Thomas II. Wake. who was admitted
into citizenship by Judge Cherry yester-
day, came within an ace of being dis
franchised forever and a day five minutes
after he had recited that memorable
s-Ory of BUnker's Hill for the edifiCaIiOn
of all assembled in public court.
Wake originally hailed from Albion's
fair fsle-wheTe they call elevators lifts"
After casting off Queen Vic for all time,
he adjourned TO the elevator, which

hedged citizen, through some unexplained
cause. stumbled and fell heavily against
the open, unprotected space of exit; the
next moment Wakes Caput was running
up the scale against the fretWOrk.
Chnriie Gulbra-sen caught him just in
time TO save his sflvered locks from wear
ing out, and at the same time stopped
the elevator with an abruptness that
nearly succeeded in sending the cerviCaI
vertebrate of the passengers through the
crowns of their respective headgears.
Wake was busted OF shook himself

Dalton & Lark affairs took on an en-
tirely new phase yesterday. develop
ments pointing strongly to some
thing Of much greater magnitude
than the mere passing Of the control.
According to the story which gained
currency Thursday, a deal involving
the control of the Dalton & Lark had
been contaminated. That Mr.. Schenck,
president Of the company, denied. but
he admitted that negotiations We're and
had been pending for three months.
Ii tran6DiTed yesterday that about all
there was 70 the DEAF was the pend
ing sale of 400, coo shares OF Mr.
Schenck's stock. which had been put up
rs security on a $50, 900 lean from c. A
Coffin. one of the interested parties in
the option held on the property last
summer The sale had been advertised
by &. o. Whittemore, Collins attorney
for y o'clock yesterday, and at that
hour a p0stponement was secured till
3 D. m. at which time an arrangement
had been made, through Wells. FargO's
bank. TO take up the note held by Mr.
Whittemore and pay the principal. in
terest and attorneys fees, amounting
in al to S20900.
After the transaction was closed. Mr.
Whittem0re said that so far as the
Coffin interests were concerned there
was nothing now pending with the
Dalton a Lark people, unless a small
sum due for improvements at the mine
We're considered. all business relations
having been severed by the payment of
the note
Tt leaked out during the afternoon
that a block of 100000 shares of the
stock was held by well known Bing-
ham operator who is heavily interested
in property near the Daiso, & Lark
and the opinion was expressed that the
4o0 eco shares held by Mr.. Whittemore
FOR Coffin, was taken under the wing
Of people who would work in harmony
with the holder of the 100000 shares,
and thus control the proposition.
As the combination which under
these conditions holds the control of
thar property also owns OF controls
much Of the adjacent valuable grounds.
the belief is expressed that il the very
near future a big corporation will be
formed to handle the whole proposition.
1t is an undertaking of great magni-
tude, but none too large for the men
interested, should they decide to carry
it through, and many things have hap
pened lately which so to show that
move of the description outlined has
been on foot for some time.
If the scheme goes through il means
that another company, with no less
acreage than that possessed by the
United States company, VIII soon be
operating on the east side of West
