EXTRAORDINARY
 PRECAUTIONS
Officers in Charge of Mrs. Chadwick Took No Chances in Getting
 Her Safely to Cleveland.
ALL MEANS OF DOING SELF HARM
 WERE TAKEN FROM THE PRISONER
The Omcer. In Charge Were Direct ed by Marshal HcnkeI Not to Let Her Out of Their sight For Moment, and They Obeyed Their Instructions.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 15.-Extraordi- nary precautions were taken by the federal authorities to insure the safe arrival If Mrs. Chadwick in Cleveland, and after her luggage was deposited in the statereom, which she occupied, it was thoroughly searched Before the train left New York deputies went through every piece of baggage, and took from Mrs Chadwick's hand satched a small pair of nail scissors, harmless enough under ordinary cir struetiveness of the deadliest weapon 10 the mind of the marshal under the present circumstances.
 Keep these until you get to Cleve- land, said the marshal as he handed the scissors to Detputy Marshal Kelk- CT. who accompanied Mrs. Chadwick
 And here. Joe" called Henkel to Deputy kumb. put these in your bunk. but don't let her Lave them un- der any circumstances"
 The marshel handed him two fasks of whisky, which were concealed in the bottom of Freda's hand satchel.
 Freda portested vehemently, but Henkel was firm.
 Mrs. Chadwick must have the whisky. The doctor prescribed it for her before she left. Her nerves are shattered, it's the only thing that keeps her strong" expostulated the maid. Mrs. Chadwick Very Weak. Mrs. Chadwick had tottered as she walked from the carriage to the state room on the car, and Henkel knew 1 she was weak, but he explained after ward that he was taking no chances whatever on the woman's life, and said the glass bottles constituted a menace to her safety Mrs. Chadwiel, protested weakly, but said she would get along without stimulants until tho end of her journey
 These were not the only precautions taken by the marshal and his depu- i ties. Numb and kelker were instruct tu to SHOW every courtesy to the DTS oner. but not for an instant to per nit her out of their sight.
 One of you must be in the state room until she retires," he ordered. After she is asleep, the door must be partly open so your eye may all ways be on her. Don't take any chances whatever"
 The deputies obeyed their instruc- tions to the letter.

Ell. MimS& Co. Market Letter

There has been a marked improve
ment in all Tonopah stocks since our
last letter. The principal reason for
this is the railroad has about com
pleted the necessary repairs due to
the recent floods. Belmont, Mon

and the Tonopah property, unless
some unforeseen accident occurs will
from now on be active shippers. In
our opinion, these stocks will not for
a long time to come recede to the
level which they reached a few days
ago. The public may rest assured
that purchases made at the recent
low figures will net a handsome sum,
even at the prevailing prices

Their fact that the mine is looking far
better than ever, do not be surprised
to see this stock touch the dollar
mark. The recent strike in Montana
to the west on the five hundred has
given local investors in Midway much
confidence, local sales having reached
as high as 45c. We cannot toe
strongly advice the purchasing o.

the courtesy of Chas. krise, n of

permitted to inspect the property.
In our opinion this lease will excel

operated by 7. L. Oddie ct al.

the stock. We had an audience with
Mr.. Taylor, and he has assured US
that so far as he is able he will see
that the interest of all stockholders
in the company will be fully pro
tected, Mr.. Taylor being the largest
owner of the Jumbo, and other prop
critics. He feels somewhat piqued to
think that anyone would be so vii
famous as to circulate malicious re-
ports when he is using every effort to
protect the stockholders of the
Jumbo. He fully realizes that the
Jumbo being the leader of Goldheld
stocks, any decline naturally affects
all others of the camp. This stock is
a double discount purchase at the
prevailing prices. Actual extrac-
ton of ore from the Goldtield January
speaks louder than words, and when
the leasing period is up the surplus
in the treasury will demonstrate that
the property is a far better one than
the public realize. The president,
Judge Johns, has assured us that
when the company begins its oper-
alton January 1st, of the property it
will be conducted solely in the interest
of all the stockholders, with this as
surance, we strongly advise its pur-
chase.

;Ine possession OF not only good
singers but of a comedy team
hard to beat. The piece ran
smoothly from start to finish and
proved most enjoyable.
: The prima donna, Miss Irene
Palmer, is a young lady of ex-
Ecellent appearance and fine voice.
Her acting in the part Of Ter
lena" left nothing to be desired
and her singing in the disrobing
scene in the second act was
heartily applauded. G. B. Bront,
the leading tenor, had a part in
Fra Diavolo" which gave him
ample opportunity to show both
the range and quality Of his
voice and he made the most Of
it. He has a fine robust voice
and although occasionally his
high notes had a metallic ring,
his general work was most pleas
ing. F. w. Walters, the pos
sesor Of a good baritone register,
sang the part of Lorenzo
very acceptably, while the other
principals acquitted themselves
with credit.
The chorus, while not large,
is well trained and knows ex-
actly what is expected Of it.
The whole peri rnance is quite
worth seeing and the run should
prove a success.
