a dispatch from Tonopah to the Eu-
reka Sentinel says there is a great
deal of criticism expressed among the
better class of citizens in Tonopah at
the outcome of the trial of Smith for
he murder of Walter Dunn, and it is
generally believed that the thing is
not altogether straight, for the evi-
dence went to show that Smith was
lot wholly without blame. The re
suit of the tIial of Smith and that of
he Chinese rioters may have a ten
iency to encourage lawlessness ir
Conopah, but it is possible that the
next killing in this region will receive
some little immediate attention from
he citizens direct. as the authori
les can hardly be depended upon IL
III instances to secure the results mos
.esired for the good of the community.

Burglars entered the Nevada saloon,
kept by Lou Burkhart and ]. j. Gar
recht. Sunday night. broke open the
safe and took what money was in It.
They effected an entrance by prying
open the window on the west side with
a chisel and a neck yoke. Once inside
they knocked off. the knob of the safe
door and drove the combination
through with punch and sledge. Part
of the tools were left in the saloon

yard.
The thieves got between 5000 and
800, part of which was Luther But
