Headed for Goldfeld.

The State Journal tells of the follow
ing who are headed for the ''greates'
gold camp eve known"
"John Russell, who, for five months
past has been employed az a cook at the
Il. & w. hotel, will leave in a day or TIVE
for the new mining camp at Goldfield
The gold craze has struck him, and
having served what he considers a prett,
good apprenticeship here, he hopes t.
establish a business of his own.
Mrs. A. l.. LangdOn, accompanied by
her mother, arrived from Colorado City
yesterday to join her husband who ii
employed as engineer at this place. Il
is the intention of Mr.. and Mrs. Lang
don to pay Goldfeld a short visit, aflel
which they will probably make Sparks
their permanent home.
Leroy Stoddard, formerly of Los An
geles, but late of this city, will leave thin
morning for Goldfield and Tonopah
where he will spend several months
mining. He has had considerable ex'
p~erience in that line and hopes to be
successful in the new camp

PLEASED WITH GOLDFIELD
Oscar ]. Smith Tells Of the Nevada
Bonanzas

"There is plenty of Utah money in
vested in Goldfield," said Oscar S.
Smith, the well-known Reno attorney,
to a State Journal representative this
morning, "and it is doubling itself with
remarkable frequency.
"This camp is proving a world-beater.

critics there from the start, but never

ago. ] was truly surprised at the i'm
mense groupings and the manner in
which they horned 1t seems also
that the veins go down and carry the
values with them.
.'Claim owners have taken example
from Tonopah and are now permitting
~leasers to ruin the properties. Levels
must be run every fifty feet and the ore
stopped toward the surface"
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are here on a
pleasure trip only and expect to return
to Reno tomorrow.

Power Plant q Certainty.

The electric plant on Bishop Creek
for generation of power for transmission
to Goldfield may be set down as a GER
tainty of the near future, says the Inyo
Register.
G. Nj. Hobbs, one of the chief hackers
of the enterprise, came over from Gold
field a few days ago, to consult l.. b.
Curtis, the engineer in charge. Tele-
grams had been started from each to the
other, but because of the short-com-
ings of the service neither message got
through. Consequently Mr.. Hobbs
found on arrival that Mr.. Curtis had
started for Goldfeld over the route OF
the proposed line.
Some OF the hackers OF the plan are
owners of the Goldfield mining property
hence have a direct interest in the de-
velopment of the project aside from
their investment in it alone.
The preliminary work is being done
for the installation of the plant, and in
an interview Mr.. Curtis said that the
principal delay o is the matter OF
getting machinery shipped in.

FREIGHT SITUATION FIERCE
One Reason Why Railroads Are Not
Popular.

1t will be January 4th, according to
reports from Tonopab, before the South
erD Pacific company will receive further
freight for the bonanza camps, says the
State Journal. This action is necessary,
so it is stated, because of the congested
condition of traffic at present. 1t is I'M
derstood that there is now enough freight
scattered along the broad guage lines
consigned to either Tonopah, Goldfield,
Columbia or Bullfrog to fill 5000 narrow
guage cars. Food stuffs at present are
practically all that is going into the
camp. Some merchandise is rushed
through and even with this the freight
depot at Tonopah presents the appear
ance of a big shipping center.
Freight for a distance of one hundred
yards on either side OF the track and to
a depth of at least fifty feet as piled up.
Teams are going and coming continually
but despite their efforts the piles appar-
emily do not diminish.
"If it is this way now, what will it be
when the actual rush starts next spring."
is "A question the merchants and other
residents of the southern country are
now asking themselves.

Climate Of California Desert.

The climate of the California desert in
midwinter is the finest to be found in
the world, bar none. The air is balmy,
the days warm and the nights cool
enough for comfortable sleep. Mos
qnitoes, tieas and other insect pests are
unknown (save by the Indians and half
breeds, whose society it is not necessary
to %cultivate), while flies are absolutely
a minus quantity on the desert.

SCIENCE AND THE TOAD.

The Kansas Farmer makes a plea
for the toad A government investi-
gator has found that the toad is the
greatest insect killer known to sci
ence. He found seventy-seyen thou
sand-legged worms in one toad's stom-
ach. A toad can eat in twenty-four
hours quantity Of food equal to four
times the capacity of his stomach,
though he Still is number Of laps
behind the human beer-dria ker in this
regard. According to the Investigator,
ninety days rations for healthy toad
would consist of 216o cutw0rms. 1900
fryYiapods, 2160 soWbugs, 324o ants.
so weevils and $50 ground beetles.
1t is said, however, to contemplate
the ignorance which sometimes pa
rades as science. This government
Investigator declares that there is no
fact behind the belief that toads will
give one warts when one handles
them Every boy knows better than
that.

HOW TO BECOME W.
COME GUEST IN SUMMER

Ii you possess a tender conscience
toward your hostess, show it by never
taking any liberties in her house with
her belongings, her servants or her
children. To become welcome guest
you must be keenly observant of fam
lily habits and little preferences, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Come down very, very promptly to
meals, and because you have owlish
tendencies don't make the household
smother its yawns while it heroically
attempts to entertain you
Never dispIace a chair, book or
lamp without carefully replacing it
just where you found it.
Don't leave your sewing, crochet
work. novel or tennis racket lying
girl to do in home where the hostess
was peculiarly tidy.
Miss Blank evidently left her bag
of golf clubs near . doorway, where
the host stumbled over them in the
dark a.,,i; iiurt his knee severely. Her
sails of wool lay in sofa corners half
the time, or in tangled mass on the
parlor floor, ana she appropriated to
her own use big, deep chair in the
chimney corner that was the special
property, pride aud solace of the hosts
elderly and rheumatic sister.
She meant no harm, of course, but
her careless disregard of the partic-
ularities of others rendered her pecu-
liarly uuwelcome to her hostess and
all the family ia which she visited.
They were glad to see her go as was
another hostess I knew. who invited
young man friend OF her husband
to stop over the Weekend il, her dain-
ty little home.
The young man friend was a good
fellow at heart. but the charming
guest room he occupied for but two
davs was a wreck when he left it. He
had tied the fresh muslin window cur
tains into hard knots in order to gain
more light upon his shaving glass:
ne had dropped hot cigar ashes on the
embroidered bureau cover and burned
two big holes therein.
Irving to move about the room in
the dark, he overturned a vase OF flow
ers and ruined a pretty rug, and ne
coolly scratched his matches on. the
wall. Finally he dragged a dainty
chintz-covered chair out upon the
guest room balcony, and left it there
all night in the rain.

A Frlghtful Runaway.

Mrs. j. B. Hatcher was painfully in
jured in frightful runaway Monday
evening. She and her daughter Blanche
were out driving, having come from
their home southeast of town, and upon
reaching the Hopking corner Blanche
suggested that they turn east, fearing
they might meet an automobile. just
as they were opposite the Abbott place,
Will Smith, returning from Davis City,
shot over the hill ahead of them in his
automobile, blowing the horn to give
warming to any approaching driver. The
old family horse, always gentle before,
became frightened at the horn and
lights of the machine, and turned
squarely around in the road, coming
back to town at break-neck speed. The
frightened animal turned south at the
the Newberry residence, west at the
Rauch residence and south again at the
Newcomb residence, where he broke
loose from the buggy and ran on home.
AS the horse broke away one of the
thills Of the buggy, which had been
broken when the animal first became
frightened, stuck into the ground and
stopped the vehicle, not upsetting it,
however. The suddenness with which
the rig stopped threw Mrs. Hatcher for
ward and she fell across the wheel, seri-
ously bruising her chest. Miss Blanche
was not hurt in the least. Mrs.
Hatcher's condition is painful but not
dangerous; had the drivers not kept
their presence of mind and held the
horse in the road it might have been
much worse. Lamont Chronicle.

Tackled the Wrong Fellow.

Davis City was the scene of lively
but short scrap Sunday evening, in
which one of the participants had
several ribs cracked. Some time ago
city marshal Tom Sly had occasion to
arrest George Elson for some minor
crime, and at the time Elson vowed that
when Sly got out of Office he would set
tie with him. Sly recently resigned as
marshal and Sunday evening Elson met
him on the street and started in to get
satisfaction. Elson is very large man
weighing over 200. pounds while Sly is
nearly midget, but Elson bumped up
against the wrong man when he tackled
SLY, for couple of minutes later he was
lying in the street calling for help, Sly
having Knocked him down and kicked in
three ribs for him in less time than it
takes to tell about it. These little fell
lows are pretty hard fighters some
times, and it seems that Elson tackled
the wrong fellow when he went up
against Tom Sly

His Skull Fractured.

There came near being another mur-
der case to report in this county this
week, the result of an encounter near
Davis City between John Gore and Roy
Sutherland last Friday morning. it
seems there had been some trouble be-
tween the parties over some whiskey
belonging to Gore which had been taken
by some parties and Gore thought that
Sutherland knew something about it, so
he went to Suthcrland's home and call
ed him out. The first time he went
Sutherland refused to come out of the
house, but on the second visit Gore told
him he only wanted to talk to him about
the matter, so Sutherland came out in
the yard and after some discussion Gore
attacked Sutherland with buggy whip.
resented the attack and
picked up a rock which he SHE'D at
Gore, striking him on the head and put
ting him out of the game, his skull be-
ing fractured, and he has since been
confined to his bed from the injury. 1t
was reported in Leon Monday morning
that Gore was dead and county attorney
Olson and coroner Bowman were all
ready to go to Davis City to hold an in
quest when it was learned that instead
OF being dead Gore was better and in
fair way to recover

FAMILY ROW is STARTED.
Mrs. Henry Walters Takes Two
Shots at Her Loving and
Trusting Spouse.

1t was supposed until Sunday morn
ing that Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Walters
lived on Paradise valley, which is locat-
ed in the southeast part Of town. But
their home was not much of paradise
about the time most people were dom
ming their Sunday linen in order to at
tend divine services. Mrs. Walters dis
pensed with the family worship that
morning, and proceeded to make a rough
house for Mr.. Walters. She threw his
trunk out of the front door and with it
most of his wearing appa. ell, and he was
told to make himself scarce about his
own domicile.
Mr.. Walters did not show the proper
inclination to make himself scarce, and
Mrs. Walters insisted on having her
mandate obeyed. She accordingly got
down Mr.. Walters trusty revolver, and
fired a couple of shots at her spouse
who fingered about the premises. The
shots did not scare Mr.. Walters very
much, because he was in numerous
battles during the war, but he finally
concluded to quit the ranch and let his
wife run things to suit herself. Mr..
Walters is hopeful that when the cold
and chilly blasts of December blow
around, and the time arrives for laying
in winters supply of coal, his wife
will come to her senses and invite him
to return home and once more live in
peace and happiness.-Mt. Ayr Record.

Big Damage Suits.

Among the new cases filed is suit
for thirty thousand dollars brought by
Fuller & Fuller against the G. B. & O.
railroad. Their client is Vim. T. Min
near, and judgment is asked in amount
named by reason of injuries sustained
by the said plaintiff in being pushed off
a moving freight train by the agents of
the railroad at stated point in Mis-
souri,. Minnears leg was run over by
the wheels Of the cars and had to be
amputated, and he also received inter-
nal injuries which he thinks entities
him to the judgment asked.
Dennis Rush, formerly of Grant town
ship, has instituted suit against G. W.
Overlander for ten thousand dollars,
and that amount he thinks will be suffi-
cient to reimburse him for the aliena-
tion of his wife's affections, as it is al
ledge in the petition, by the said Over
lander. Notice of the suit was served
on Mr.. Overlander by Sheriff Miller on
Tuesday evening. The defendant to tile
suit came here on visit recently, and
Rush at once concluded to start the
suit. Rush and wife secured divorce
from each other at late term of the
district court. Spence & Smith will ap-
pear as the attorneys for Rush in the
damage suit.-Mt. Ayr Record.

Died From a Sunstroke.

While working in his field Tuesday
afternoon Mr.. Levi Cross had a sun
troke from which he died Wednesday
about o'clock. He was on the
straw stack behind the threshing ma
chine, one of the hottest places to be
found in harvest field. He was sud-
denly stricken down without any prev.
ious notice and was taken at once to the
house. The accident occurred about 4
o'clock and Drs. brennan and McCoy
were at once telephoned for and DR..
Mccoy arrived about half an hour after.
Mr.. Cross rested apparently very easy
until just before he died, although it
was known that he was in quite ser
ious condition, but short time before
his death he seemed to have some pain.
Mr.. Cross was renter and lived on
Bart Harpers farm in Jackson township.
about three miles south of Corydon, on
the Main road between Corydon and
Allerton. He leaves a wife and nine
children, four boys and five girls, to
mourn his loss. He was a quiet, hard
working man, and every one1 who was
acquainted with him was his friend.
The funeral will be held today, Thurs
day, at o'clock and his remains will he
buried in the Corydon cemetery.-Cory-
don Times-Republican.
