A Bad Shakeup

Early yesterday morning George FL
stner, who has been driving team,
fell from his wagon and received in
juries that will lay him up for some
time to come. One wheel of the front
wagon passed over his body and an
other over his leg. This member is
the worst injured and it is feared that
it has been broken. 1t was over an
hour before he was removed to his
home and when taken there was in
bad condition. Just how serious his
injuries are cannot be told for a day
or so, as it is feared that he is injured

ENTITLED TO 4 SLEEPER
Convenience Of the Public De-
mfands II

Passengers from this city to the tide
water complain that it is almost i'm
possible to secure a sleeper over the
Southern Pacific. Not only this but
as the passenger trains are nearly al
ways late the travelling public is COM
PEELED to wait in Reno for all hours,
and most OF the time have to take
bed and be aroused at an unnatural
hour, which is not inducive to general
good nature Since the passenger
travel has picked up to the extent
that is now going on, there should be
a sleeping car run to this city. In
such a case passengers need not care
how late the trains are as they could
secure berth and go to bed when
they were disposed. For number of
years sleeping cars we're run into
this city and to say that it was con-
venience expresses it mildly.
With the travel that goes out of this
city every night, from the c. & c. and
the points south, it is only reasonable
to ask ,ne company to accommodate
the travellers. Since Tonopah has fiS-
ured on the map the travel has more
than doubled and this in connection
with the general travelling public max
es a lively business both for the local
road and the main line from Reno. AS
Mr.. Prentice. of the Southern Pacific
is doing everything possible for the
convenience OF the travelling pubic
over the line. he should take this mat
ter in hand and give the public ser
vice that will be appreciated all alons
