Leaves His Happy Home.

Manager johnson of the Hobart Mills
has left his happy home at Overton and
departed for those vague and extensive
regions popularity dubbed as parts un-
known"
Mr.. johnson held the lucrative and re-
sponsible position of manager of the
mills and was. Of course. a prominent
feature in the social life Of Overton. He
had u bright and interesting family and
to all appearances was an attentive and
devoted husband and father. 1t came,
therefore, as a great shock to the little
community when it developed several
DAYS ago that Manager johnson had
skipped by the light of the MOL and
had caused another decrease in the pop.
ulation by taking with him a buxom
widow.
L. has since been discovered that he
had for some time been paying secret at
tentions to tue in weeds.
The whereabouts OF the guilty. couple
are unknown but 1t is thought that they
have rome westward and are treading
the primrose path in San Francisco.
The deserted wife, who is a daughter
of Judge Jones OF Austin, is a most estI-
mable lady, and has the sympathy Of
the entire community of Hobart Mills,
where she is very popular.-Reno Ga

More Robberies Last Night.

On arising this morning a couple OF
our business men were surprised to find
that their places of business had been
broken into during the night.
Sometime last night the Club and Ne
vada saloons were burglarized by some
unknown person or persons. The man.
ner in which the entrance was effected
at Berry's saloon was at the back of the
building, breaking q Of the large panes
of glass after which the sash-lock was un-
fastened on the inside, allowing the win
dow to be raised. After gaining an en-
trance work was Immediately began on
the back bar. and a drawer where Mr.
Berry kept his communications together
with other valuable papers was locked
and this was broken open by pieces
being sawed out on the sides of the
drawer. From the drawer they took a
silver watch and under some papers was
So 80 in an envelope which was over
looked. The cash register was also
opened and one of the small drawers
which a locked was broken by being
pried open. A light was used as the
edge of the back bar was burned in sew.
eral places and the fringe on some
towels burned off.
At Grayham's saloon a pane OF glass
was broken out of the front door, and
the doors were unfastened from the in
side. Blood was found by the door
which was pr obably caused by the thief
cutting his hand while breaking the
glass. Charlie did not find anything
missing from his saloon.
There is not the least possible clew as
to who committed the robbery for there
were not any suspicious looking charac-
tiers in town yesterday.
Constable Austin went down to Win
nemucca this morning in hopes that il
the robber or robbers went that way he
would capture them there. 1t is not
known which way they went, east or
west, or whether they are still in this Vi
cinity. AT any rate all possible means
will be made to capture them as the
officers up and down the line have been
notified.

Since tho discovery of Tonopah, over
two years ago, it has been the belief OF
we'll Informed persons that the famous

Over a year ago the Esmeralda Com
m~issioners employed J. G. Booker to es-
tablish the dividing line, and he report
ed that the town of Tonopah vas over a
mile east Of the Esmeralda line. Not
content, the Commissioners wrote the
Interior Department at Washington, and
they SEN an engineer to determine the
matter. That gentleman and his assist
ants spent three months in the field, and
now the department at Washington has
sent a map to the land Office at Carson
which shows the entire business and
residence portion of the town, and many
of the mines, to be in Esmeralda county.
Mr.. Reynolds, a Tonopah attorney.
examined the map in Carson, and stated
in Hawthorne the other day that accord

his testimony, later presented. the
coin was forcibly taken from him by

The man who was robbed notified

hard chase the woman aud four OF
the men were taken into custody. A
preliminary hearing was given them
AZ the court house and Queen Liz"
fined $40 and costs by Justice Maybee.

stolen money was returned, hut the
fine was not paid, and the queen OF
