Al UQly Rumor.
towns.

A rumor is afloat here, and comes
from seemingly authentic source,
that l.. F. Pattison, who eloped from
this place with Miss Daisy Wilson
last Winter and married her in Day
ton, has come to grief in the south
ern country. Mr.. Pattison and wife
left here last February for RaniS-
burg, Cal, and it seems that a mont h
or so ago a couple of other women
landed in that camp and both claimed
Pittison for a husband. The port
is that they substantiated their
claims, had Pattison arrested. prov
ed that he committed bigamy when
he married Miss Wilson, and that he
is now serving an eight-vear sen
tence in the penitentiary. 1t ~ y he
hoped, for the sake of Miss W l-on
and her parents and relativ' hat
there is no truth in the report, al
though it is more than likely there
is. Miss Wilson is an eStimahle
young woman, and if she has been
imposed upon by scoundr, she is
to be pitied rather than blamed.

Arranging for the C0atest.

The owners of the Greenwood,
Mickey and Fox bitches in this val
ley have combined to jointly answer
the complaint wherein they are made
defendants in the Miller & Lux water
suit. The above named bitches are
three of the oldest ones in this val
ley. A committee of three, consist
ing of J. b. Gallagher, G. B. Waldo
and ID. w. Melarkey, has been ap-
pointed by these ditch owners to Sc
cure counsel and make preparations
for defense, and each company has
levied an assessment which will
raise about $500 for this purpose.
Other ditch companies in this valley
will, we understand, follow the lead
of the three above named companies.

Min for Toaopah.

The Salt Lake Tribune says that
the Salt Lake management of the
Tonopah 4 Salt Lake Mining Com.
pany has received from the west a
proposition which looks to the equip
ment of the camp with a custom
mill. The proposition comes from
the president of the Investors Com
pany, of San Francisco, who ex,
plains that his people have made ex-
periments on the ores of Tonopah
that they have developed process
perfectly adapted to the extraction
of the metals from their ores, and
that they are prepared to erect a
plant at cost of $4,000 or there
abouts as soon as they are guaran
teed the ore with which to maintain
it. They have, according to the com
munication, already contracted with
the lessees on the Tonopah Compa
ny's lodges to treat their ores, but
the company has interposed an OBJ
lection and insists upon its right t'
designate by whom the output O.
| the leasers shall be treated. Thi,
has momentarily staggered the pro
iectors, but there are others who
have ore. Accompanying the propo
sition is schedule upon which the
ores will be purchased on the
ground, and certainly it is a very
fair one.

A Bakersfield, Cal, dispatch OF
June 24th gives an account of a fatal
accident which befell 7. P. CARING
that morning. Tom CARING was
working for the Knob Hill Oil Com.

he tell from the top of a derrick,
where he was adjusting some ropes,
distance of forty feet, striking on
his head and tracturing his skull
Death was instantaneous. The re.
mains of deceased were taken to the
home of his parents, in Fresno, where
the funeral took place under the
auspices of Company c. of the Ma.
tional Guard. of which Tommy was
member while in life.
Tommy CARING was the eldest son
OF Hugh and Nancy CARING, and was
born in Dayton az years ago. Hugh
CARING was formerly Assessor of
Lyon county for two terms, and also
prominent business man of Dayton.
Some eleven or twelve years ago the
CARING family moved to Fresno to
reside, and have lived there since.
The many Nevada friends of the
family sincerely sympathize with
the bereaved parents, and brother
and sisters of the deceased, in their
affliction. Tommy CARING was a
manly, upright young fellow as we
knew him, and we note that he was
considered one of the most valued
men by the company in whose en-
ploy he lost his life. His troubles DER,
may he rest in peace.

Syndicate Makes Extensive Purchases
of Land In ST. Louis.
st. Louis, March 21.-A purchase OF
ia acres of land in South St. Louis
has been made by the management ot
the Gould lines for terminal facilities
For long time the terminal facilities
of the Iron Mountain have been made
quate to the demands of the enormous
volume of freight traffic handled over
that line, and congestion in the yards
along the river front has been the rule
throughout the year.
To relieve the condition the manage
ment recently purchased the cotton
compress property, covering five city
blocks, and it will be placed in shape
for the laying of additional terminal
yard tracks, thus providing much
needed accommodation for the nearer
yards. The management next turned
its attention to outer yards space and
the South st. Louis land has been pur.
chased. The consideration is said to
have been about 100000 This exten.
sive acreage will be used for outer
yard tracks.

FOUL MURDER, SAYS JURY.
Stover and PirkIe Held Responsible
for Mrs, EIake's Death.

for Mrs. Blake's Death.
Gainesville, Ga. March 21.-Coroner
Dorsey summoned the jury again at
the scene of the Blake murder yester-
day to further continue Investigations
regarding the tragic affair. No addi
tional facts were brought out, though
the evidence of Drs. Smith and Pal
mour, who made a post-mortem ex-
animation of the body was submitted
The physicians declare Mrs. Blake
was outraged, and say that her death
was produced either from strangula-
ton or suffocation. There was con
elusive evidence that the old lady had
been fearfully tortured before being
put to death. Her body bore bruises
and scratches and other signs of bru-
tai treatment.
Colonel Howard Thompson, of this
city, represented the state at the in
vestigation. He probed deep in
to the case and brought to light ey-
cry fact which tended to clear up the
awful tragedy.
At the conclusion of the investiga-
tion the coroner's jury rendered ver-
dict to the effect that Mrs. Blake came
to her death from suffocation or stran.
gulatiOn at the hands of Harve Stover
and Charley Pirkle, and that the same
was murder, and recommended that
the two men be held for trial on the
above charge

ATHENS HAS $4,000 FIRE.
BY One Match Great Confagration Is
Started.


Started.
Athens, Ca, March 21-Athens was
visited yesterday afternoon by the
largest fire in her history. In less
than two hours over S15O,O0O worth of
property went up in smoke, and but
for the magnificent work of the fire
department, aided by the citizens, the
fire would have swept beyond their
control and fully $S00,000 loss would
have been entailed.
The fire started in this wise: About
8 o'clock a negro was trucking a bale
Of cotton from one of the compart-
ments for the Rucker compress, on the
Georgia railroad and as the truck
rolled along the floor it went over
match. The match ignited and the lit
it afire The alarm was rung in and
in less than two minutes the depart
ment was at hand, but in that incred-
IDLY short time the flames had spread
over the entire building and it was
raging furnace.
Ihe losses are as follows:
]. II. RuCker's compress and ware
house, $50,000.
Sanders. Swami & Co., $4,000.
Billups Phinizy, 5000
RI. Moss & Co., $500.
William Watson & Co., $4,000.
Hoist & Co. $22, 500.
Inman & Co., 81 1000.
Total $156,000.
The insurance on the cotton was
full and that on the compress covered
all except $4,000, which represents
the net loss.
The cotton insurance was carried
with the Marine Fire Insurance com
pany, with the exception of the Phini-
zy cotton, which was. divided between
the Liverpool, London and Globe, the
Hartford the German-American and
the Pennsylvania.
