Have Been Stolen Here

Mrs. A. w Chase. occupying a lower
claims 10 have had a box containing $20.-
900 worth of bonds and other securities
taken from her suit case last night. Her
thinks any one in Winnemucca would get
up In the cold and steal such paltry sum
as that. The mercury was monkeying
around the zero mark last evening and
no one in Winnemucca would have taken
the trouble to unlock a lady suit case
to rob her of valuables. She says, how
ever, that Winnemucca was the only
station at which her suit case was un-
locked.

SALOON HELD UP
Highwayman Makes a Successful
Raid in Reno

Reno had an up-to-date hoidup on
Christmas night. About 10 o'clock the
Union saloon. south of the Grand thea
ter, was entered by a man who walked
to the bar, took several drinks and ended
by drawing a gun and lining up the bar
keeper and visitors along the wall of the
saloon with their hands in the air. The
stranger then helped himself TO the con-
tents of the till and decamped. securing
about sG5. There were four men besides
the barkeeper in the place at the time
and the streets were full Of people. That
the fellow had nerve goes without saying
The barkeeper says he dropped a purse
containing $500 into his boot about the
time the order came to hold up his hands
and this was not secured by the high
wayman.

WESTERN PACIFIC
FALSE ALARM
The Road May be indefinitely
Postponed or Never
Built At All

The Silver State finds the following in
from inspired authority we do not
know, but In expressing a doubt of the
actual construction of the Western Pa
cifc it but voices the general sentiment
in this State. Nevada has seen so many
railroads built on paper only that it
takes the snort of a locomotive travelling
over truly steel rails to convince us that
the Southern Pacific Company has not
got cinch on US that can never be loos-
ened:
The construction of the Western Pa
cifc by the Goulds is likely to be aban-
doned or at least indefinitely postponed
as result of recent heavy trading in
western railroad securities, by means of
which the relation of the Gould and Har-
riman interests are to become much
closer and the could system given much
more advantageous connections with the
Pacific coast by the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe. The following recent dispatch
from Wall street seems to fit in this con-
nection
1T seems to be the belief of Wall
street that the Rockefelers and E. III.
chases of Santa Fe stock, are now in a
position to control the 4.tchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, and Wall street has the
ory that if the Northern Securities decis-
ion gives Hartman a majority of the
Northern Pacific shares a trade will be
made between Hartman and the Rock
as did the Southern Pacific, under the
control of the Union Pacific, while the
Rockefellers will take the Northern Pa
cific and merge it with the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul.
1T is pointed out in the same connec-
ton that George j. Gould is already a
stockholder and member of the executive
committee of the Union Pacific, and that
there are indications that his relations
with Hartman are to become still closer.
One consideration for this will be Harri-
mans REIMBURSEMENT to Gould of his
stock in the Baltimore & Ohio, in which
Gould is said to be desirous Of securing
representation. The Gould lines, under
the new arrangement, will become a
favored connection of the Southern Pa
cific and the Santa Fe, and Gould will
thus be relieved of the necessity of
building the Western Pacific."'

That kindly little word, ''zemstov," I"
which appears so frequently in news from
noun "zemila,' meaning land and the
verb. 'vopeet" to clamor. Thus it sig
nifies 1.-THE voice of the land and is a
council of landed proprietors appointed
to deliberate and report to the central
executive the wants of the rural popula-

county council without the latter's au-
thority, yet that authority is what it
now pleads fer. The zemstov was found

C0LC0NDA CLEANINCS
Newsy Notes from a Lively
Little Town

Golconda is one of the liveliest small
towns in Nevada G. w. Shallenberger
is kept busy putting up goods for pros
pectors and other customers. The store
of e. Reinhart e Co. is doing a good
business. Echart and Comes are send
ing men to do development work on their
mining claims near by and are expecting
eastern parties there shortly to look
over the property with the object of buy
ing.
G. w. Shallenberger has a pumping
plant that he thinks will shortly revolu-
tionize the handling of water and it will
be easier to pump water than to let 1t
run down hill naturally. He had South
ern Pacific engineer look it over the
other day and started in to show him
how il worked and the number of gallons
1t would handle per minute. After get
ting everything in order to start the
blamed thing got to "bucking and would
not pump at all. G. W. swore a streak
as wide as ones hand and as long as the
moral code He told the Southern Pacific
man that sometimes on a cold morning
it did not do as well as it did when the
sun was up, but that it was an albright
machine.
Frank Button is anxious to go to Tono-
pah, but he is afraid If he does he will
buy something that will make him rich,
and says he had rather live on the smell
OF an oiled rag in Humboldt than to eat
porterhouse steaks two inches thick
anywhere else That is the reason he has
not gone to Tonopah long, long ago.
The skating is fine at Golconda and the
little folks as well as some of the older
ones are taking advantage of it.

DERBY SCENE OF
ANOTHER MURDER
Fatty QuinIin Found Dead,
Was Probably Killed by
Gang of Thugs

Late developments indicate that
Fatty Quinlan, who was found dead
on the railroad track at Derby early
Monday morning was murdered, says the
Reno Gazette.
This is the conclusion of the jury that
investigated lae case under the direction
of Coroner Updike this afternoon, the
finding being to the effect that Quinlan
came to his death by foul play
The body was discovered by the crew
of No. l. the westbound flyer AS the
train was leaving Derby the fireman no.
ticed the corpse on the rails ahead of him
and he at once investigated. He saw that
the man had been dead for several hours
and that the back of his head was crush
ed in.
The remains were brought to Reno and
the inquest was held this afternoon.
The theory of the jury is that the vic
tim was slugged and his body placed on
the track in order to destroy evidence of
the crime.
Others at Derby think that possibly
the man might have been hurled from a
train by thugs who had robbed him.
The case will be left to the officers, but
it is not known whether an investigation
will be made or not.
