the trouble grows out Of differences as
to wages or hours of toll the sympathy

that public sentiment will be slow in

ENFORCE THE GAMBLING LAW
James Mccarthy Named in a Com
plant as Having Violated the
Statutes.

A complaint charging James Nc
Carthy with having violated the provis-
ions of the state statutes relating to the
conduction of gambling games was is
sued from the county attorneys office
last evening and filed in Justice Ar
nolds court.
Mccarthy is proprietor of the Little
Chief saloon in East Park street, and
the fact that he had been guilty of a
violation of the law by allowing game
of chance to be conducted in his place
of business was brought out at the
trial of the case of the state against
Constable Timothy Shea, charged with
having demanded and accepted money
as consideration for protecting gamb-
ling games from interference from the
police department or other official
sources John Sullivan gave the thing
away. On the witness stand he testi-
fled that along about July he was
operating game in the Little Chief
saloon, and County Attorney Breen at
once asked him the name of the pro-
prietor. With considerable hesitancy
Sullivan said Mccarthy, and after the
trial was over the county attorney in
structed Deputy Lynch to draw a COM
plant against Mccarthy.

The Emma Mine.

Hon. Lee Mantle, president of the
Butte Mining and Development COM
pany, which is operating the Emma
mine, was asked today how work was
progressing and what the prospect was
for striking pay ore.
Mr. Mantle said that since coming
homea week ago he had visited the
mine and found everything running in
very nice shape. The new boilers, en-
CINE and air compressor have been we'll
set and all are working smoothly. Since
passing through the lead and getting
into the country rock the sinking is pro-
crossing much more rapidly than 1t had
heretofore, in short, said Mr.. Mantle,
so far as the operation of the mine Is
concerned I do not see how conditions
could be much improved.
AS to whether or not we have pay
ing mine, time and additional depth can
alone determine that. Up to this time
We have encountered nothing that would
justify us in claiming that we have
paying property. The indications have
been, and are now, good for finding ore
with greater depth in place. but SO far.
we have discovered no ore. and. as have
taken occasion to say before through the
columns Of the Inter Mountain, the en-
terprise is purely speculative and all
who invest in the stock should do SO
with this knowledge. There are many

Nevadan Mysteriously Disappears.

G. S. Young, California oil million
aire and who was at one time promi-
nent in the educational circles of this
State, mysteriously disappeared from
train near Ell Paso, Texas, while on
his way to the Beaumont oil fields.
About fifteen miles beyond FL Paso
friends of Mr.. Young noticed his
absence and a search of the train failed
to locate him. His hat and valise were
found in the coach where he had been
seated when the train pulled out of FL
Paso, and the discovery ofthese articles
aroused the suspicion that he had
either fallen or was thrown off the
platform of the coach.
Later search was made along the
track as far back as Ell Paso, but no
trace of the missing man could be
found. This fact has given rise to the
belief that if Mr.. Young fell off the
train he was not badly injured.
When he left San Francisco Young
had his pockets full of twenties, prob
ably in all between 81, 500 and $4,000.
He also had about $4,000 in checks
and securities with him.

A Practical Man on Trib.

The following is from the Virginia
Enterprise
No veterinarian on the Pacific Coast
has had a longer experience, nor has
any man had more successful prac-
tice with horses, than has DR.. Burns of
this city He makes the following
statement:
A valuable mare driven by Superin-
tendent Lyman, of the Con. Virginia
Mine on the Comstock Lode, had been
in the stable, unable to work from the
kick of another animal, received on
the inside of the right fore leg above the
knee. The skin had been broken and
the muscles and tendons severely bruis-
ed. During a weeks time had given
the limb such treatment as, from
thirty years. professional experience,
thought beneficial; but without avail.
The leg was swollen to nearly twice
its natural size, and the swelling would
not yield to treatment. On Thursday
evening, June Is, 1896, made the first
application of the liniment Trib, thor
oughly rubbing in half of a six ounce
bottle over the whole leg. Iapplied
it regularly twice a cay for the next
three days. On the fourth day the
mare went to work, completely cured
the most surprising and satisfactory
cure coming under my observation
during lifetime devoted to the treat
ment of horses.
That was several years ago. have
since then used this liniment regularly
in my practice. Trib fulfills all its
promises.
An especially valuable feature of Trib
is that, while it has all the penetrating
strength of the most powerful lini-
ments, it does not blister.
For love of the horse, and the fellow
ship of horsemen, offer this testimony.
l know that Trib will benefit both.

Grand Jury Report.

In the District Court of the First
Judicial District of the State of Nevada,
in and for the county of Douglas.
To the Hon., the above entitled Dis
trict Court: The Grand Jury of Doug
las Co., having completed the work of
the session, beg leave to report the
following:
We found one True Bill of Indict-
ment against Mike Holbrook, half
breed Washoe Indian, upon the charge
Of the murder of VIM Moore.
In the matter of the charge against
several persons growing out of the
publication of a confidential letter
written by Henry Tucke to Abe Harris,
making an attack upon the reputation
and integrity of His Honor, the Judge
of this District Court, and savoring
very strongly of a criminal libel, The
Grand Jury, while considering that the
showing made before their body will
hardly warrant the finding of an in
dictment against any of the persons
charged, nevertheless deem that the
same is quite sufficient to justify their
body in censuring the action and con-
duct of Henry Tucke for writing the
same, and both said Tucke and said
Abe Harris for publishing the same,
and Attorney VIM. WOODBURY. for re-
peating and adding to and consider
ably enlarging the statement contained
in said letter, and particularly does
this body censure the actions of the
said Tucke for deliberately and with
out cause or reason or foundation what
overwhelming the character and i'm
pugning the motive and insulting the
integrity and Understanding of the
Judge of this Hon. Court
We further recommend that the
Board of Co. Commissioners of this
county make necessary and much
needed repairs in and about the Court
House and in particular they suggest
that another set of CRATES be placed on
the outside of the windows of the coun-
ty jail of not more than ] inch mesh.
We have performed all work that
has been submitted to our body and
we know of nothing further at this
time to engage our attention.
