Elko's New Fire Extinguisher.

Elko Independent, Aug. 20: Judge
Browns house caught fire in the kitchen
about 6 o'clock last evening and had it
not been for the resourcefulness of Phil
Foster it might have been greatly dam.
aged. The cook was preparing the even.
ing meal when she rushed out of the
kitchen and startled the family with the
report that the house was ON fire. Phil
caught the garden hose attached to the
hydrant. turned on the water and started
for the fire on the double quick. But
there was no water in the pipes and
time was precious. He jumped on the
hot stove, tore down the stove pipe and
seizing a kettle of soup, threw it On the
blaze. This checked the blaze and he
then took the coffee pot and threw its
contents onto the fire. He followed
this up with kitchen slops and hot water
from the heater. In the meantime,
Mrs. Foster had given the alarm, the
fire bell rang and the companies started
for the fire. When they got there Phil
had the fire out and the house was saved.

Governor Sparks appearance on the

Senator.
After the nominations were made and
ratified by the two Conventions, a mo-

The Democratic and Silver Party
State Conventions met at Winnemucca
on Monday, and the following proceed
ings are taken from the Reno Journals
correspondence of Aug. %:
Called to Order.
The Conventions were called to order
promptly at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The Silver party delegates met in the
Court House, while the Democrats gath
cred at Armory Hall. Organization Of
the Democrats vas perfected by elect
lug James q. Sweeney, of Carson as
Temporary Chairman over Phil 8.
Triplett Of Wells. The vote stood "a
to 81.
There was not one contest in the
Democratic Convention and every pre-.
cinct in the State was represented.
With the Silver Party.
The Silver Convention lost no time
in organizing, despite the fact
that Elko. Eureka and Washoe
Counties had contesting delegations in
the field. In each instance the Central
Committees had appointed delegates
because of the fact that primaries were
not held. Later primaries were held
and delegates elected. These were
here to-day striving for seats in the
Convention, but were not recognized.
The Silver men organized by electing
Sam P. Davis Of Carson Chairman
over M. s. Bonniield. The vote stood
SO to 81 in favor of Davis. The con-
testing delegation did not vote.
There is considerable discussion as to
the appointment of the Credential Com
mittee. This fight is being made by the
friends of the contesting delegates.
Messages from Van Duzer.
Several kilograms were received from
@. D. Van Duzer to-day announcing his
withdrawal from the fight for Congress.
His candidacy has caused much con.
fusion. After several positive declin.
atoms, late to-day another message was
received stating that he will accept the
nomination. At first Van Duzer had no
oppo sition, but later a strong sentiment
has developed among the delegates to
take him at his word. @. B. Henderson
of Elko is prominently mentioned for
the honor. but in the event that Van
Duzer does get in the race, it is probable
Henderson will withdraw.

A Hot Time at Winnemucca.

The following is taken from a dispatch
from Winnemucca on Aug. 90 to the
Carson Appeal:
This city has been the scene of the
liveliest excitement since yesterday. Both
the Democratic and Silver parties have
taken the town by storm, and one Of
the hottest Conventions aver held in
the State has been the result. That
there was to be a struggle was evident
from the beginning, and while it is the
desire of some of the d~isgruntled to
swing the Convention into a rut where
it would land the parties in the rank
of defeat, yet it is believed that all Of
this has been avoided and that complete
fusion is to be the result.
Chairman Sam Davis in the Silver
Convention made a lively talk, denounc.
ing those who acted as traitors in the
party and urged expelling those Of the
delegates who were seeking to make
trouble in the ranks. AS a result several
of the delegates threatened to bolt the
Convention, and were not urged to re.
main. They were mostly led by the
trouble breeders, and it is believed that
they were in the employ of the Nixon
faction, and it was evident the Republic
cans were taking a hand in the fight.
Both Conventions have adjourned un'
til 10 o'clock tomorrow, when it is be-
lieved that the work will be finished
without any great delay.

Bolt in Silver Convention.

The Reno Gazette of Wednesday con.
tanned an account of the bolt in the
Silver Convention at Winnemucca on
Tuesday. The SENTINEL submitted the
Gazette's article tt Senator H. A. Comins
who passed through Eureka on Thurs
day on his way from the Convention to
his home in White Pine County. and
after reading it carefully he said it was
substantially correct. The Gazette's
account is as follows:
The echoes of the Democratic Conven.
ton at Winnemucca are beginning to be
heard here, and the sound, while called
by some Harmony" has all the dulcet
tones Of savage rage and crashing Of
teeth. That the Fusion party is both
figuratively and literally shot to pieces
is a certainty. Newlands' attempt to
make politics in Nevada IN asset Of the
Sharon estate is responsible. For years,
or since Newlands succeeded to the Dem
ocratic party dictation, every man who
has not been a plant tool of his and
who has shown any independence. has
been driven from Office. He drove Bon
niield from the Supreme Bench four
years ago because he could not use him
to further his political ambitions. Judge
Belknap is the most recent of the greater
victims of his displeasure whom he has
driven from Office, ostensibly because OF
his decision upon the Eight Hour Law.
but in reality for purely personal rea-
sons. Men like Senator Newlands, who
never know a vorkingman ave on cleo
ton day, and who have never spent q
cent here to give employment to q
Union laborer, are not the mel t drive
a Justice Of the Supreme Court from the
bench because Of a decision on the Eight

MRS. H. NJ. FLAGLER
ROBBED OF $4,000
Wife Of Standard Oil Magnate Had
Valuables in Chatelaine.
TAKEN AT A LAWN PARTY

Newport, r. l., Sept. 13.-Word was
received from New York that robbery
by which Mrs. II. NJ. Flagler, of that
city, lost chatelaine bag containing
money and jewels aggregating several
thousand dollars in value, at Newport,
was being investigated by detectives.
The date of the robbery was not given.
but as Mrs. Flagler has not been here
since the middle of August it is thought
it must have occurred at that time.
Mrs. Flagler was the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Julian T. Davies while here.
The police say that they had no re-
port of the robbery of Mrs. Flagler.
The messages from New York say that
the chatelaine bag contained $4,000 in
cash, a draft for $4,000 and jewels
valued at $4,000.
All signs indicate that Mrs. Flagler
was robbed by the Raffles who has
preyed upon Newport society leaders
all summer, and 1t is whispered that
the thief is a rich young woman who
is a confirmed kleptomaniac. For the
sake of her family, the police say,
every one of the victims has shielded
her upon the return of the stolen gems.
: Mrs. Flagler attended a lawn fete,
and while there her gold chain chate-
laine was stolen from her belt.
! The bag contained five $1,000 bills,
eight 500 bills, about $500 in smaller
bills, draft on New York for $40, 0OO
and long neck chain set with 80 sap
phires and diamonds, valued at $4,000.
Mrs. Flagler had worn the neck chain
! on leaving her rooms, but it caught on
| the carriage door and broke. Then she
! placed it in the chatelaine
| Mrs. F'lagler wore the chatelaine sus-
pended from her belt by hook which
! could have been easily slipped out.
! She ate luncheon at table on the
! lawn, and afterward mingled with g
/ crowd of equally fashionably dressed
/ men and women at the booths wher,
! chances were sold in lotteries for the
