FOR woMAN's FAVOR.
Nightwatchman Booth and Fred
Sweeney Exchange Shots,

For some time past trouble over a
woman has been brewing between
Nightwatchman Booth and Fred
Sweeney, an engineer employed at
the Halifax. Last night, at about
II o'clock, they met in front of the
opera house, and Immediately a fusi-
lade of shots followed with the result
that Sweeney was wounded 10 the
right leg above the knee. Sweeney
then made his way to his room in the
Allen house, where he now is under
the care of DR.. Garner. Booth was
subsequently arrested and placed in
jail. Sweeney's story is that he was
coming out of the opera house, and
as he reached the street, Booth met
him and began shooting. He claims
he had no gun and did no shooting,
but this statement is not borne out
by several witnesses who say both
men were pumping away, while
others state shots were only fired
from one side. Booths statement,

time he was not citizen of the sta te,

ing that he had registered there on
May 10th, 1902, less than six months
before the election in Nevada, whose

qualified from both voting and hold
ing office The case will be tried al

1t is understood that Enger's de,

Had leg Re-Rroken.

A month ago George Bell, an en-
ploye Of the Tonopah company at
French's wells, SO badly injured his
left leg that it laid him up. 1t was
thought it was only bruised, and in
time would become all right, but it
was found necessary few days ago
to bring him to town for treatment,
and an examination revealed the fact
that the leg had been broken between
the ankle and knee. 1t had partially
knitted, but the bone was misplaced,
therefore it was deemed necessary
to again break and reset the bone.
This was successfully done at the
hospital last Monday by DR.. Ham
mond, and the patient is now getting
along all right.

TOnOpah Gold Mountain Plans
Extensive Development.
Property Under Control Of Progress.
Sive People and Good Results
Are Looked For.

After many months of intermittent
work it appears as If the Tonopah-
Gold Mountain company we're going
to begin active development on their
valuable properties at Gold noun
tain, the cause of past inactivity
having been removed by the pur-
chase Of 100000 shares of the stock
by Key Pittman and Mike Sheridan,
which places the control in the hands
of j. L. Butler, G. Runge, j. p.
Brissell and themselves. The present
controlling stockholders are in per-
feet accord with regard to the oper-
alton and development of the proper
ty, and all of them being progressive
men, it means that actual and cease
less work will now be inaugurated
The company owns eight claims
and on each one of them veins carry
ing substantial gold values have been
opened up. The one on which devel-
opment is now being prosecuted has
been uncovered for 1000 feet. Ore
was first shipped from shaft on the
top Of the mountain, 1900 feet west
I of the present working shaft, which
Is located near the base of the noun
tain. In addition to the work of
sinking, a tunnel is also being driven
which will give a depth of 100 feet on
the ledge below the bottom OF the
working shaft, and 500 feet lower
than the shaft at the apex of the
mountain.
Three shipments Of ore have re-
Gently been made from the property
which netted 800 to the ton, and an
other one is now being made ready
which it is expected will give better
results. Samples taken by DR.. Ed
ward Bowes. who visited the proper
ty last Sunday showed the following
values in gold: Average sample from
the dump, $196.S7; sorted samples
from the dump, $37773; average
sample from the twelve inch pay
streak at the bottom of the shaft,
1921 66.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to erect mill on the property
at an early date, there being enough
ore opened up and on the dump to
justify the erection of one. Water
for milling purposes will be obtained
from the Rescue mine in the district.

No Reason for Anology.

E. r. Holden writes the BONANZA
from New York that he has never
sent any checks to Tonopah which
were returned from the New York
banks, uncollected, and he desires
this paper to so state, but as we
hold one of the checks, signed by the
same E. r. Holden who subscribed
to the letter, and also certificate
from a New York notary stating
that he presented the check to the
bank and it was protested, we see
no reason why we should retract
from any statement made.

The Palatka base ball club with p.
NJ. Hagan as chaperone went to
Hampton on Tuesday to play "a game
with the club of that place. The
game was won by the Palatka club
in a score of II to 3.
Said Mr.. Hagan: 1--WE were roy
ally treated by the Hampton club
and the people geperaIIy, and the
game was not mafred by kicks" or
ill-feeling. 1t was friendly con-
test and good nature prevailed. The
Hampton boys gave our boys their
dinner and supper at the new Dyal
house and both were regular banquets
After supper the Hampton club sized
us up spiritually and deciding that
there were possible chances for i'm
prOvement, invited us to attend re-
vival meeting at one of the churches.
To this proposition | readily gave my
assent. The boys enjoyed the SER
vice very much and | am proud to
say their conduct in church was most
exemplary. Ispeak of the incident
more'purticularly that their parents
and guardians may know that when
away from home and under my care,
every opportunity looking to the
moral improvement of these young
men is taken advantage of.

the Tilghman wharf
Last week Mr. and Mrs. Tilghman
gave reception to their friends, on
board the Bohemia, and more than
hundCed awaited themselves OF the

but large box in the center which,
when opened, discloses several COM

The house rooms proper, which are
fitted and furnished elegantly and
with a view to convenience and COM
fort, consist of a large living room,
which is also used rs dining room.
This is at one end of the boat and is
the full width of the house. From
