More Crooked Work.

There is hard feeling in the college
on the hill, says the Reno Journal.
The Cecil Rhodes scholarship, that
the student body foundly hoped would
be rendered to Nevada student, has
been awarded to "A professor of the
University who has not been in Ne
vada long enough TO vo.e.
Several of the students have worked
hard for this honor, and one of them
has Just returned from California,
where he attended summer school
to equip himself in certain branches
not taught in Reno.
The appointment to the national
university lowered by Cecil Rhodes by
his will, and which carried "a free
scholarship, has, instead ofbeing given
to deserving Nevada boy, been
rendered to al assistant professor in
the university, who recently arrived
from the State of Washington.
The aforesaid professor did not
announce that he intended TO TRY for
the honor, but by fawnlng on those in
charge sneaked in and got the prize
method beneath the dignity of q
gentlemen.

LAWLESSNESS AT To-
NOPAH.
Chinaman Beaten, Robbed And
Murdered.

Tonopah, September l7,-Yesterday
morning, between the hours of L and
o'clock, forty armed men, unmasked,
invaded Chinatown, hammered down
doors and with pistols beat unmerei-
fully the occupants of each house over
the head and body.
They marched six of the Cinnamon,
at different intervals, down the cam
yon two miles west of town and rob-
bed them of their money, in all about
seven hundred dollars.
Then they started each Chinaman
on the run and told him not to return
or they would hang him.
They entered the house Of an aged
washerman and beat him almost to
death, then dragged him barefooted o
long distance and finally compelled
him to wal when he could
When two miles below town they
again beat him and sent him on his
way.
With head lacerated and trails of
blood following him, he left the road
and walked five hundred feet and fell
upon his face and died.
The body was found by Deputy Sher-
iff Hickey this morning The Miners
Union had nothing to do with this as
suit and murder.
L. NJ. Arandall, president, and Il. S.
Breusing, secretary, of the Tonopah
Labor Union, are IN jail, together with
eighteen other men, and arrests are be
ing made every few minutes.
Many of the parties are well known.
The president of the Labor Union is
known to have been one of the ring
leaders and choked the Cinnamon.
He bears an unsavory reputation as
an agitator. The secretary is one of
the same type. An immense indlg-
nation meeting was held by the citizens
yesterday, denouncing the outrage
and the Government has taken action.
Attorney Gregory, of Gregory and
Chickenng, of San Francisco, counsel
for the six companies, is here and has
employed special counsel to prosecute.
The Jail is guarded.
Every Chinaman was told that if he
remained in town another night he
would be hanged Quiet now prevails
and no mob violence will be allowed.
None of the Cinnamon have left.
The Chinese Counsel has been noti-
fed and he has ordered an immediate
investigation. The result will be that
the United States will be required to
pay a heavy indemnity.
The representative citizens of Tono-
pah condemn the mob's action, "a does
the Miners Union.
James l.. Butler, who is in San
Francisco, telegraphs the following:
II will give $500 to any fund raised
for the prosecution of the mob that
committed the outrage on the Chinese
and / will also give reward of $500 to
the person or persons producing evil
denee that will lead TO the conviction
of the murderers. (Signed) J. L.

HOMESTEADiNG WILL
BE NECESSARY.

l.. II Taylor, chief of the Hydro
graphic Survey, furnishes the follow
ing information regarding the entry of
lands in the zon that will be benefi ted
by the irrigation canals, the construc-
ton of which has begun In Washoe
and Churchill counties:
All lands commanded by the pro-
posed irrigation canal shall be classi-
fed and sub-divided into farms or
homestead tracts, each tract to include
as near as may be, eighty acres Of ir-
rigable lands.
After this Is done the Secretary will
announce the lands open for entry,
naming the limit Of entry, the price to
be paid for water and the conditions
to be complied with in order to secure
land and water
1t will be possible to deliver
water to small portion of this land as
early as the spring Of 1905, but the
major part of It cannot be irrigated for
some time after that.
In taking up this land the settlers
will be required to comply strictly with
the requirements of the homestead
law in regard to residence. At this
time it seems decidedly inadvisable for
intending settlers to file upon the land
as it is impossible to make home
stead before water is available for ir-
rigating purposes.

A BONANZA
Fine Looking Ore Being
Encountered i'm Claims
Near Gardnerville

A. i. Price has returned from
Douglas county, where he has been for
the past two months sinking a 100
foot shalt on the Mammoth ledge, Is
miles southeast from Gardnerville.
The property upon which this shaft
has been sunk consists of three claims,
owned by W, F. Turley, DIR. J. c.
Hennessy and Others Of this city. The
vein is large and strong, carrying high
values In places. Experts who have
recently examined the property ex-
press the opinion that big mine ex-
sists there and that proper develop
ment will open up a bonanza.
Ore carrying values rs high as S3,-
600 per ton has been shipped from this
ledge in years gone by, and there is ne
reason to doubt that more of the same
grade still remains to be uncovered by
the fortunate owners.
The Raycrafts have held this ground
by the process of relocation for the
past twenty-five years, but they have
never done any work to speak of. The
ledge crops for two miles and immense
quartz boulders that have broken loose
from 1t are everywhere in evidence.
This ledge has been looked ut with
covetous eyes by miners and prospect
ors for years. Reno Gazette.

Lotus players went through the contest

for the defeat.
Bernhard was on the rubber for Cleve-

high mark of excellence. He worked yes
terday under big handicap, Gochnaur
making four errors back Of him, but the
oftener the shortstop slipped up the bet
ter "Berny" seemed to go. The seven hits
made by the Senators were pretty we'll
scattered through the nine innings, and not
a run would have been scored but for the
errors Opposed to Bernhard was Case
Patten, and the Cleveland sluggers took a
liking to his delivery from the start, in
two innings managing to get the hits in
clusters. The support given Patten was
excellent and saved him from more Sc

Both teams started off well in the fielding
sense neither side being able to get run
over the plate. In the second Cleveland
broke the ice and chalked up two runs on
singles by Lajoie, Gochnaur and Bemis
and sacrifice by Bradley.
The Senators came right back at the
Blues in the third inning and tied up the
score. Clarke reached first when Goch-
nauer kindly fumbled his grounder. Pat
ten did his usual sacrifice 9act-struck out
but Holmes was more successful and moved
Clarke up to second. Selbach followed with
a single, but as 1t was short Clarke could
get no further than third. Setback started
for second on fake steal. and on the
throw down Clarke stole home. Jimmy
Ryan followed with double and Setback
scored. This ended the Senator's scoring
work for the day.

visitors, among whom were several women.
Fortunately the little scow had just
reached her dock on the mainland side, and
although everybody the Mayfiower and

held back to allow the women and the
other visitors to make landing before

She hit the Brooklyn a smart tap, and
made bow on for the coal barge. Under
the blow the lashings of the barge parted
and the yacht buffeted her down the chan
mel until they both landed up against the
little ferry scow.
There was shouting everywhere. and the
Narkeeta rushed in to the rescue. Blue
jackets on the Mayfower scrambled to
drop tenders and save paint. There was a
crunching and cracking of timber when
