of his death. Before coming to To

highly esteemed by all and generous
to a fault, He was born in Illinois
and forty-fve years of age. The

A COSTLY HALL.
James |. Buffers Handsome Building
Completed at a Cost of $4,000
Finest Building in the State.

Last week the Masons held u
special meeting in their hall and
worked in the first and second
degrees and that calls to mind the
fact that the Masonic Hall of Tonopah
Is the handsomest and most costly
room in the State. The richest of
Brussels carpets cover the main hall
and ante-rooms. The platforms ex-
tending around the rooms, together
with the rostrums, are covered with
the same rich carpets, and sixty
comfortable chairs are supplied for
the members The ceiling is worked
in fifteen beautiful panels decorated
with gilt mouldings, over seven hun
dred feet of which was used in the
work Gilt chandeliers are hung
from the ceiling, and an expensive
acetyIene gas plant affords the light.
The Masons have CORRESPONDENCE
fine paraphernalia, and rich regaias
and symbols. Visiting brethren say
that the Tonopah Lodge is inviting
beyond degree, and from which the
hand of fellowship is ever extended
to visiting brothers.
A word further concerning the
building in which the Masons have
their hall, and the generous manner
in which Mr. Butler has expended
money in the erection and completion
of building that will stand as a
monument to his good name long
after Tonopah has passed from the
conditions of small town to the en-
virionments of city of twenty
thousand people. Hot-air furnaces
are being placed in the basement,
and when cold weather again comes
none will be more comfortable than
the occupants of the Butler.
Manager Oddie and Supt. Siebert
have suite of Offices ON the first
floor, Messrs, jackson, Pittman and
Gates occupy a similar suite across
the hall, j. r. Duffield has q smaller
suite in the rear, and one Suite will
be held in reserve for Mr.. Butler and
wife The interior work of the entire
building is a masterpiece of interior
decoration, and reflects great credit
on Messrs, Stevens and Jones, Tono-
pah 5 artistic painters and decorators

The Wrestling Match.

The wrestling match between c. p.
Hansen of Nome and G. A. Harder
of Tonopah was pulled off tonight at
the hall of Bass X Kendell. The
audience was not large-about 125
witnessing the match. In the first
90, Harder was fifteen minutes in
putting his opponent upon his back.
After an hour and fifteen minutes of
hard work by both men, the referee,
Thomas Kendall, declared the match
mo contest Hansen is a powerful
man, but lacks science in the art
and while Harder is clever he has
not the strength to combat with
that of the Nome boy.
