His Troubles Ended.

Perry Abbott, familiar charac-

years, popularity known as "Pard, "
died at the hospital last night. While
employed as locomotive fireman on
the Southern Pacific many years ago
he was caught under the engine
which broke through a trestle near
Rocklin, resulting in his being Grip

here he supported himself by selling
lottery tickets and notions until fail

Mines Being Drained.

The official report of the progress
made last week in lowering the water
in the C. & G. shaft shows that the
elevator and Reidler pump systems
are gradually draining the entire
lode, says the Virginia Report.
Measurements taken of the stage Of
water in the Combination shaft show
that it has been lowered two feet
four inches since the draining of the
G. & G. shaft below the 2150 level be-
gan. This demonstrates conclusively
that the project of installing a SINH
lar system of pumps in the Ward
shaft will result in unwatering the
entire lode down to the greatest
depth SO far attained in Comstock
deep mining.

At depth of 80 feet in the new shaft
west the of old incline breast of
$40 collaborating ore ten feet in width
is showing in the north drift in what
was formerly known as the North
Bonanza ground. The output from
the mine keeps Fishers mill busy
crushing it, and as there are only
three men employed in the mine the
monthly net proceeds must certainly
leave a handsome balance in the COM
pany's treasury.

Should Tie-up With Miner Man.

The absurd claim is made that
gravel from the Rock Hill places
near Mill City, Humboldt county,
carries from $40 to $500 per cubic
yard in gold and the Lovelock Tri-
bune editor makes this statement
from his personal observation. The
average placer miner is well salts
fed with gravel that pans out 30
cents to the cubic yard. With a
sluice head of water gravel of that
grade will pay $40 a day to the
man. Gravel that paws $500 to
the cubic yard means so cents to the
shovel. Report.

Patrick Welch dead, Avert Water
man, Tom Townsend and two other
men, names unknown.
WEIGH, who was 20 years old, had
been working on ranch near Love-
lock and was returning to Palisade,
which is said to have been his home.
He and Waterman were together.
After being robbed, both men were
thrown from the train and shot at.
Welch was hit three times. Water
man started for help and the wound
ed man crawled to the track and
tried to flag a train Two passed
him; the third, at $50 Thursday
morning, stopped, picked up WEIGH
and took him to Winnemucca. An
examination of his wounds showed
that one bullet entered the left leg,
between the hip and the knee; sec
ond lodged in the left forearm, while
the third wound was in the back.
The bullet penetrated the left lung
and the patient was in terrible agony
when he reached the hospital.
Townsend walked to Oreana and
notified the operator what had hap
pened. He boarded train on wait
ing orders there and went to Love-
lock. With Deputy Sheriff Lamb
he went to Winnemucca. Just as
soon as they arrived there, they we're
summoned to return to Lovelock as
the officers had five suspects in Gus

see if he could identify any Of the men
who assaulted him.
Four of the men were taken to

ognized by WEIGH before he died.
Their names were given as German,

under consideration, with bright pros

first originated with E. ]. Waterbury's
recent visit to Ada. Mr.. Waterbury
has been interested in wooden mills at

years, and is Of the opinion that a mill
at this point could be made a profit
able venture. At present he is dispos-
ing of large amount of machinery
which has been used in one of his
mills and is willing to ship enough
machinery out here to equip the mill
and will take a big block of shares,
providing the business men of our city
take hold of the matter.

JUDGES IN AIR
OVER AMES' BOND
None Of Them Seems Will
ling to Act on Matter of
Cancellation.

The judges of the district court are
very much up In the air in regard to the
motion of former Mayor A. A. Ames that
his liability be Cancelled on his forfeited
bail bond of $40, 600 Each of the austere
members of the bench is side-stepping
whenever the matter is passed his way,
and there is a general Discrimination to
take the question up which is considered
likely to engender no small amount of
feeling between the judges bfore the mo-
ton is heard.
When the April calendar was called
by Judge Elliott, the motion was entered
by Attorney Henry S. Mead one Of Ames'
legal advisers. His honor. however, de-
clared that as long as Judge Pond had
heard and discharged the sureties on
the same bond, the new motion would be
referred to him. Judge Pond promptly
passed the matter back by announcing
that the motion had no connection with
the original one involving the sureties,
and declining to entertain it.
Then Judge Elliott took refuge behind
the fact that he was at present hearing
the criminal calendar, and as the motion
had nothing to do with any criminal pro-
cedure, he felt no obligation in the mat
ter. An interesting little game of bat
tledore and shuttlecock is looked for
when the written motion is filed.

DEATHS OF THE DAY.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 1O.-Rev.
William Henry Milburn. the blind chap
lain of the United States senate, died at
Santa Barbara, Cal. today Mr. Milburn
left Washington for the Pacific coast a
year ago. The chaplain was in broken
health The change brought no great i'm
provement in his condition and when con-
gress met in December he forwarded his
resignation to Washington but it was
never acted on.
The deceased was a native Of Philadel-
ph1a, where he was born in 1923. When
he was five years of age a playfellow
accidentally struck him in the left eye
with piece of glass. For two years he
was confined to a dark room under med
1cal treatment, and when he came out
one of his eyes was entirely blind and lit
tie sight was left in the other He, how
ever, pursued his studies at school and
college for twenty years, the sight grow
ing DINNER until gradually he became
totally bllnd. In the spring of 1888 he
went with his fathers family to Jackson
vile, ILL.,, and in 1843 he became a travel
ing preacher Of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
Mr.. Milburn was twice elected chaplain
Of congress" the first time in 1S45 when
a little over twenty-five years af age;
was twice chaplain of the house of rep
resentatives, and lastly chaplain of the
senate, to which office he was elected in
1893.
While serving a charge at Mobile. Ala,
MIR. Milburn underwent a trial for here

STRIKE is AGAINST MACHINES.
Cigarmakers Also Object to Cheap Labor
of Women.

Minneapolis cigarmakers have inaugur-
ated two strikes in local factories which
have for their objects the raising of the
wages Of women employed in the manu-
facture of machine made cigars. 1t is not
eXaCtly in a spirit Of gallantry, however,
that the union has started the fight on the
employers. Primarily it IS a protest
against machines, women and chill
dren."
1t is contended by the union leaders
moralizing effect upon the business. The
relations between the strikers and their
employers are as amicable as they could
be in the light of the fact that each side
is determined not to give in to the other.
The concerns affected are the Hooker CT
gar company and Lungren Bros. The
firm of Manly & Ball acknowledged the
righteousness of the unions course early
In the game and capitulated.
What the men want particularly is the
elevation of WomenS wages to the men s
union scale.
The strike involves less than 100 work
ers. The main difficulty seems to be that
the manufacturers show a liking for the
trust system of making cheap cigars by
machinery, with cheap labor. The men
behind the blue label see cause for alarm
in this and declare they will fight until
the manufacturers agree to deal In stand
ard goods or at least pay standard wages
to those who are now making the inferior
article, which would of course obviate

The horses were missed yesterday.
Nefghbors were notified and word was also
sent to Sheriff Lundquist. Among those
who went on the search was Charles

other road in order to ward off the es-
cape of the thief. When the sheriff got
about a mile and a half beyond the places
where the horses had been stolen he came
across Mr.. Crandall The latter was Sit
ting with a shotgun In his lap carefully
guarding Reigelman, awaiting the arrival
of the sheriff. Reigelman had one of the
stolen horses with him and the other two
Were in a pasture near by.
Reigelman was either drunk or feigned
drunkenness, as he could not make a clear
statement as to how he happened to be in
possession of the horses. Sheriff Lund-
quist brought him to Red Wing and placed
him in Jail. When he has had sufficient
rest he will be brought into court and
given an opportunity to explain.
