pany. although the private property OF
Mr.. Mackay and Mr.. Bennett. In 1880
Mr.. Mackay was offered the nomination
as United States senator from Nevada
with certainty of his election, but the
proposition was declined. He was a
member of the Roman Catholic church,
to which he has been very generous
with his vast wealth. He has also been
liberal with donations to charities Of
other character, having In particular
founded an orphan asylum in Nevada
City.
Mr.. Mackay was a man universally
respected for his business capacity, his
remarkable energy and his strict In
tegrity.. In person, he was an active,
wiry figure, erect and alert, reticent
in his manner, but courteous and dign1-
fed and very much liked and respected
by those who knew him best.
No accurate estimate of Mr.. Mackay's
holdings in this state and Nevada can
be made, but it will run up into the mill
lions. He was the owner of valuable
real estate in this city and had interests
in mines throughout the state and Me-
vada.
Mr.. Mackay had two sons, John W.
and Clarence. The former died some
years ago. Clarence Mackay has just
completed 900 home at Roslyn,
r. l.. said to be the most magnificent
country seat in America.

London yesterday, was in regard to the
proposed Pacific cable, an enterprise
which had been his dream for 20 years
This cablegram was. transmitted from

uteS before he was stricken.
It was addressed to Mr.. Cook, one OF
his associates in the cable company, ex-
planning the progress Of the cable pro-
ject and giving assurance of its COM
pletion by July of next year if the
United States government would fur
nish the survey made by the Nero.
Mr.. Cook. whe asked today as to

without interruption and the cable
would be completed and in operation

Silas Willis, colored, who resides in
Tennesseetown, went last evening FOR a
moonlight stroll in North Topeka. In so
doing he poached on the preserves of an
ancient enemy. one David, alias Buck
Campbell, with whom he had trouble in
the dim past. These gentlemen CHANGED
to meet to the sorrow and pain Of Mr..
Willis. The story is not exactly clear,
but it seems that Mr.. Campbell told Mr..
Willis to hike across the kaW or he
would get some one who would. It is
quite evident that he followed this SEEM

Later Mr.: Campbell was arrested for ex-
pressing himself in such a vehement
manner. Willis, who was not seriously
injured, the bullet having positively re-
fused to enter his Uranium, and was
content to puncture his scalp and let it
go at that swore out a state warrant for
Campbell and his brother Robert today.
Just what part of the row Robert car

A large cluster of negritoes wandered
along lower Kansas avenue Saturday
night. An equally large inebrfated
gang of whites strolled down the other

the strenuous attention of Officer Hob
son. Mr.. Hobson gave Hiatt fine inn

and ran him in. While he was gone the
light and dark gangs came together.
Knives and guns were drawn, and sew
eral knock downs occurred, but the
whole show had taken to the woods by
the time the officer, reinforced by others
of his kink, returned.
Will Dupree, colored, who was arrest
ed for drunk and resisting an officer Fri
day night while showing a redskin the
town, had hearing in police court Sat
urday evening. He denied both charges
and said that Officer Walker smote him
on the ''haid'' with his club for no rea-
son at all. Dupree was fined 81 for re-
sisting an officer and IS for being filled
with brew, although he solemnly swore
that he did not drink. His attorney,
Josef Reed, appealed the SIS fine.
A colored boy named Henry Boston

the charges. He says that late in the
evening Mr.. Boston came into his store
and made purchase of some confec-

persons who stood without seemed to
think it must be all right to embezzle
