ed in Armory hall. This is said to be
brought out, and has had an immense
run in all the larger cities, both In
the east and in the west. The COM
pany comes here directly from San
Francisco, cutting out Reno and many
other places on the line that wanted
the entertainment. Winnemucca is
the only town in Nevada where the
play will be given.
One of the many features of the
piece is the reproduction of Mrs. Anna
Edison Taylors world renowned trip
over Niagara Falls in a specially con-
structed cask or barrel The heroine
of this wonderful feat will positively
appear in the performance, and take
part in the same, using the original
barrel in which the perilous trip was
made.
The piece abounds in climaxes and
exciting situations. Indians and circus
riders in realistic costumes lend color
to the staging, and the show is one
that captivates and delights the au-
dience from start to finish. Prices
have been cut to 75 cents, so cents and
S5 cents, and it is safe to say the COM
pany will play to a crowded house. 2-St

KILLED BY PREMA-
TURE BLAST
David Crissman, a Well Known
Miner, Met His Fate Yes
terday Afternoon

David Crissman, aged about seventy
years, one of the best known of the
old time miners in this section of the
west, met a sudden death last even
ing while working in his quartz claim
near Golconda. From the information
that has been received here 1t is un-
derstood that his death was due to
the premature discharge of a blast of
powder or charge of dynamite, as he
Is known to have been engaged in
blasting yesterday. Justice Langwith
is conducting an official inquiry into
the cause and manner of his death
today, and arrangements have been
made for holding the funeral at Col
conda tomorrow.
David Crissman, known to nearly
everyone in the county as Dave" was
an old resident of the county He fol-
lowed mining in Nevada for perhaps
a quarter of a century, with the
varying fortunes of the seeker after
precious metals, and at the time Of
mis- death was possessed of very little
of this worlds goods. He accom-
panied H. Warren to Nome in 1900,
and remained in Alaska but a short
time when he vas compelled to return
on account of ill health. His history
ii it could be written, would make
most interesting reading, for he has
had many thrilling experiences and
narrow escapes from death.
About eight years ago he was i'm
prisoned in the mine on Winnemucca
mountain, about four miles from Win
nemucca, by a cave-in. For forty-six
days he was shut up in the dark hole
without a morsel of food. and with
no water to drink except a very small
quantity obtained by melting snow.
When he was rescued he was a mere
living skeleton, having wasted away
until he weighed but fifty-six pounds.
There are few men who could go
through a similar experience and be
alive at the end of forty-six days.
Mr. Crissman was a widower, his
wife having died many years ago. He
has a son living in New York state.

HOW ALDERMEN ARE
BOUGHT IN GRAND
RAPIDS
An Ex-AttOrney Gave Full De-
tails of the Plan at the
Examination
STATE SENATOR INVOLVED
Lawyer Told How Near All in
tho Scheme Came to Being
MiIIionaires

Grand Rapids, Dec. with the en-
tire city stirred by the revelations of
ex-Attorney Lent w. Salisbury in his
testimony at the bribery hearing OF
State Senator Burns yesterday, the
examination of the men arrested. as
the result of Salisburys confessions to
the prosecutor, Alderman Depagter,
was begun today.
Depagter is charged with having re-
ceived a $3.50 bribe from Salisbury to
support the Lake Michigan water deal.
Salisbury was the first witness. He
testified that he gave Depagter $3.50
at about the same time that he did
ing delivered in Salisburys office in
the city hall
Il told him that he could have ST.
900 ultimately" said Salisbury, "and
1 explained how l wanted him to sup
port our proposition. He agreed and
later we entered into an agreement
by which he was to receive from $S.-
600 to $4,000 in water bonds"
Salisbury said that he made Depag
ter a heavier offer than was at first
contemplated because things had come
to such a pass in the common council
that in order to stand by the deal a
man had to have little more cour-
age and he wanted Depagter to stiff
fen up.
Salisbury was given a severe exam
ination by Attorney Smedley, who
held him down to details, in regard to
which Salisbury was in doubt.
He did not tell the date upon which
he paid Depagter nor could he tell
certainly whether he promised De-
pagter $500 or $1,000 worth of bonds.
He said that some of the aldermen
were promised the first amount and
some the latter.
ExAlderman Muir's examination
was then begun. Salisbury swore that

was to receive $1,000 in cash and later
it was agreed that he was to have IS,
00n in bonds.
Muir had already taken stand fav-
orable to the Bailey Springs plan and
it would be hard to get him to switch
and explain his action. said Salisbury
I'VE gave him the largest inducemen;
because of his position Muir never
took any positive action in favor OF
the Lake Michigan deal until after he
was promised the $1,000 in bonds.
I'VE had plenty of money in sight
to reward our friends, and if the Lake
Michigan deal had gone three days
longer we would have all been mil
lionaires.'
