ON TIE QUi VIVE
Everybody Anxious to Know
About the Halloween Fete

No little curiosity has been aroused
by the announcement of the prone
made concert and Hallowe en- fete,"
and the society reporter of the Silver
State has up to the present time been
unable to unravel the mystery that is
connected with the entertainment.
1t is learned today, however, that
the promenade is feature intended
to introduce and promote sociability
among the guests, and throughout
this part of the program and during
lrtermissions instrumental music Of
the highest order will lend its
sweetest influences. Another promi-

Dramatic Review in recent issue,
said
"Ahi Fors lui from Traviata, was
given by Mrs. Cora Hall. She has a
full, clear soprano of wide range which
she uses well and most earnestly. AAer
technical work was cleaneut and the
end of the Aria brought her a sincere
applause. Mrs. Hall then sang, Hush
Thee, My Little One. displaying
great deal of pathos in her notes and
again she was hidden out and sang
Coming thro' the Rye, and was OBJ
liged, too, to repeat the last verse OF
it,"
Mrs. Hall is expected to arrive In
Winnemucca next Tuesday and VIII
be the guest of Mrs. +. M. Lee, whi,e
here. Her consent to assist at the
fete was gained by Mrs. Lee, and her
coming is a return compliment to that
lady, who assisted her in similar
way in Reno a year ago.

COULD NOT HAVE BEEN EGBERT I
Oregon Outlaw Is Working His
Way East

There is hardly more than a posi-
bility that one of the men who held
up the employees of the l. V. Button
ranch Saturday was the Oregon muir
derer and outlaw, Egbert, as some
nave surmised.
While Tom Murray, the deputy sher-
iff who was here from Harney count5,
Oreon, trying to locate Egbert, was
in Elko last week he ran across
Thompson, the man who left Paradise
Valley in Egberts company. Thomp-
son was engaged in hauling wood, and
gave a clear account of himself. II
was thought useless to arrest him.
He informed Murray that ne trate4e.
with Egbert as far as Elko and left
MIN there because he got afraid Of the
desperate. He stated that Egbert told
aim nothing of the murder until they
were within four miles of Golconda,
which was on the day that Al Leach
and others were there hunting for
him. Thompson insisted upon going
on to town, and then Egbert told
him his reason for not wanting to
take the risk, but only told him he
had killed West, saying nothing
about the murder of Saxton.
1t is believed that Egbert is en-
deavoring to emulate the character
and deeds of Tracey, the outlaw, and
that his foolhardiness will result in
his being picked up unawares before
many weeks.

FAILURE is
EXPLAINED
Grant Patterson, an Indian,
Tells Why There Were No
Big Dances

Grant Patterson, one of the visiting
Indians from Elko at the fandango,
came to the Silver State office this
morning and asked to have published
statement in regard to the failure
of the Indians to give the dances
promised the whites. He is an intelli-
gent, highly educated man and speaks,
reads and writes the English language
fluently.
Grant states that all of the Indians
or at least a very large majority of
them, regret the fact that the white
people who donated literally as an
inducement to the Piutes to put on
their war dances, feel that they were
bilked. He explains the matter as fol-
lows:
Captain Bill Troy managed the cot
lection. gathering up between $50
and $50, with the understanding that
the money was to be distributed
among the dancers. AS a matter of
fact, the other Indians did not know
he was taking up collection or prom
Using the dances, until number OF
white people had registered a kick be-
cause they got no run for their money.
The dance that was gotten up Tues
day night was planned by the visit
ing Indians themselves, and carried
out to the best of their ability, in
order to partly repay the contributors
to the fund raised by Captain Bill
| Troy. For their efforts they did not
get cent, while the willy Bill and
his uncle, Captain Dave, of Wads-
worth, are alleged to have divided the
! collection between themselves and re-
turned to their respective abodes sew
eral dollars to the good.
Learning of the collection being
! taken, several of the dancing men
went to the captains named and Of

to pungle up the plunkets in the4I
possession, and as a result there was
no dance.

CATTLE LOW AND HAY HIGH
Threatened Famine on AC-
count of Light Crop

The people of the United States have
in fact in nearly every section from
the head of the river to the valleys be-
low, been holding onto their hay with
a vengeance, says the Appeal. Up
Carson Valley there is little hay to
sell. as the buyers and stockmen have
secured most of it for feeding this
winter. Some stock has already been
driven in to take up the winter feed.
Pasturage is still good but some hay
is being fed. Along with the higf.
rate of hay the cattle prices are ex-
tremely low.
Last week a band of $50 head of
steers, were sold at the rate of SIS
per head and a number of calves went
with the bunch. Another lot sold for
SIS and they were in first-class order.
The reason of the low price of cat
tie is the shortage of the hay crop
in other sections. In a number Sf
places in California the hay crop is
failure, and in fact, in sections of
Nevada, a short crop has been cut,
which leaves the stockman with more
cattle than hay and a general unload
ing is taking place. Cattle are lower
at this time than for the past three
years, and it is believed that the prices
will be down for the entire season.

Kicked by d Horse

Sam Hall, an employe on the MIL
Ter & Lux ranch at Quin River Cross
ing, was brought in from the rancn
to receive attention for injuries re-
ceived a few days ago. He was kicked
by a horse ON the right limb. between
the hip and knee, a very painful anu
serious injury resulting.
He is now resting easily at the
county hospital, DR.. Giroux attending
him. and the probabilities are at ne
will pull through all right in time.

LIGHT ON A DARK PICTURE.

The Booker Washington incident
has been misrepresented by many in
their efforts to excuse the President
for dining with him at the White
House. Many have said it was a mere
accident. Washington was there at
dinner time, and he was invited in to
partake, just as we do in the country
when stranger is in the house. But
no. this was not the case, he was made
to come. We quote from the Wash
ington Post of the 5th inst:
The fact is that the invitation was
sent by telegraph, and subsequently
repeated still more urgently. Booker
Washington did not seize all idle
straw. He responded to what he re-
garded as command. That he would
rather not have received the summons
at all we can we'll believe. He under.
stands the negro-none better-and be
fully realized that his dining at the
White House, while it filled the negro
breast with foolish vanity and expec.
tation, would make him the victim OF
innumerable jealousies and resent
ments on the part of the race. The
Post said at the time that the event
would work incalculable mischief an6
deplOrably impair Mr.. Washington 4
influence among his own people. Oul
prophecy has been fulfilled only toe
completely. We make this correction
of popular error because we think
we ought to make it.
We have never in the slightest blam
ed Washington. When white people
will put negroes at their table or in
their parlors, we never blame the
negro. No word of censure has ever
passed our lips against Washington
We are sorry he made the mistake Of
accepting. but most men would have
done the same thing.

BREEDING TROUBLE,

The Federal Courts of this country
are fast breeding trouble between Ia
Dor and capital. A corporation owned
Judge will grant an injunction so
broad and sweeping that it is almost
impossible to avoid breach OF it, and
if not actually violating it, the mine
owner. who is plaintiff, the Hon. Mr..
Coal Baron or his miuions, shout in
the court s ear, that his court is being
put in contempt, whereupon the
court Immediately sends its marshal
to gather an army and arrest and
bring before it, any person found doing
Ger ain things, or any old thing,
whether that person was ever a party
to any suit ever pending in that court
or not. The marshal obeys. He sum-
monses a body of men from anywhere.
He arms them with the most dangerous
and deadly weapons they start on the
war path, and when they meet party
just any party-tLey order them to
surrender. If they do not surrender
they are fired on and shot down as il
they were so many Wild beasts. This
report says has been going on in Raleigh
county, w. Va, War has been declar
ed upon bodies of miners in Ger
tain quarter out there by the Federal
court, and as result of that war eight
miners have been killed, and many
wounded, all because a Federal Judge
assumed that an injunction he had
awarded had been violated. In the
first place be had about as much right
in strict legal and constitutional sense
to award SO sweeping an lnjunc
ition as an ass has with the
course of the planets. But be hac
said in effect in one of his solemn
and awful DEGREES, that nobody shuulc
walk along the highway near Mr.
Baron's mine, nobody should talk te
an employee working about Mr.. Bar
on s premises, nobody should breath
the air in MI. Baron's neighborhood
so if any one did any of these terrible
things and Mr.. Baron called that mat
ter to the attention of the court, the
court would visit punishment on the
culprit. We are not apprised of the ex
tent of the iniquity practiced on the
property and rights of this particular
Mr.. Coal Baron, nor does it make any
difference. We do know many per
sons fired on and killed were persons
who had never been parties to any suit
in the Federal Court ANY more than WI
ourselves had been, and yet the cOurl
practically ordered the arrest of any and
every body without name or descrip
ton who had a gun in bis hand Or was
found not working in mine in all Of
one end of Raleigh county, and if they
did not surrender when ordered ther
death was to be their portion, and il
was made SO to many.
Yet again are We solemnly told thai
this is right, that the dignity of thil
kind of court made law must be main
tanned, and that to even 50 much al
question the right of our star spanglet
banner courts to do such things. ii
base treason. 1t may be. but if it is
we will be guilty of treason just il
this form, now and forever.
