DID NOT RECEIVE THE MESSAGE
Hospital Steward Tells Why He Did
Not Meet Train.

The TRIBUNE does not wish to be
unjust to anyone. So we gladly give
space to the following communication,
which, we think exhonorates him from
any neglect in the case referred to:
EDITOR LovELoCK TRIBUNE:
Dear Sir: In your article of 20th
inst. narrating the sad accident which
befall Mr.. Parkhurst at Lovelock,
caused by the cars running over HIM
and mangling his body, foot and hand
it is said that DR.. Pinniger wired me
20 be at the depot on the arrival of
of the train, which was No. a, with
an ambulance and the County Physi-
clan, to care for the injured patient
and your article makes some adverse
comments against me, because was
not at the depot when the train ar
rived. which was at very early hour
in the morning, about A o'clock a. m.
or possibly earlier.
The telegram was never delivered to
me, until about 10 o'clock, long after
the patient had been brought to the
hospital, and had had every possible
attention from Mrs. Sloan and myself,
which it was possible to give him. In
fact, the first knowledge or intimatien
| had that an accident had occurred,
or that a man had been injured, or a
patient would be on the train, or be
sent to the hospital at all, or that an
ambulance was required or desired by
anyone, was when the unfortunate
man was brought to the hospital,
about 5 o'clock in the morning.
The hospital is situated at the ex-
treme north eastern part of the town
and nearly, if not quite, half mile
from the depot, and there was no
message of any kind delivered at the
hospital, or commutated to me in anv
way, concerning the matter, until, as
have stated, at about ten o'clock,
five hours after the patient had been
received at the hospital, and had re-
ceived every attention which we
could give him. do not wish to be
understood as trying to say who was
to blame for the failure to deliver
the message to me, or to say that
any person here is to blame, but
the county commissioners heretofore
have never to my knoledge failed to
pay for any special messenger, en-
ployed to bring such kilograms to the
hospital at night, and | can see no
reason why the telegraph company
should not have promptly sent M
the message in question, especially,

FIRST PURE ANTIMONY
PRODUCED IN NEVADA
Fine Specimens Brought Into
LoveIOck Last Saturday.
Professor Gage has Demonstrated
That Ore can be Successfully
Treated, at Small Expense.

Another mineral product has been
added to the long list which may
pro6tably be produced from ore de-
posits near Lovelock. We say this
has been added during the past week,
because this is the first time that
chemically pure antimony has been
produced, not only from mines near
Lovelock, but from any mines within
the st
The Sutherland" antimony mine,
near Loyelock, has been worked for
years; thousands of feet of tunnel
have been driven and hundreds of
thousands of tons of rich antimony
ore have been blocked out. Eighteen
thousand dollars was spent in the con-
struction of a special furnace sup
posed to be necessary for the treat
ing of this ore, but it never produced
q pound of refined antimony-the con-
glomerate alag which it produced cam
not be marketed for anything.
For the past two weeks Professor
Gage has been at work upon the
proposition of treating these ores.
At cost of less than hundred dol
lars he constructed small retort
furnace which will treat 125 pounds
at charge. In a two-days run in
this furnace he produced $50 pounds
of chemically pure antimony, besides
the by-product of gold and silver; all
of which were separated out.
Professor Gage estimates that there
are 1900 tons of this ore now on the
dump-7O0 tons that will run sixty
per cent antimony and 800 tons that
will average forty per cent, Over
1000 feet of tunnel have been driven
and over 10000 tons of ore are now
blocked out that will run forty to
seventy per cent antimony. On the
2O0-foot level at one place 4-foot
vein of solid 70 per cent ore is ex-
posed for over forty feet, Every
foot of development indicates that
this is the largest deposit of high
grade antimony ore in the United
States, if not in the world

HOUSE AND CON.
TENTS BURNED
A. S. Bailey and Family Suffer
Heavy Loss By Fire.
Family Barely Escaped from Burn
Ing BuiIding---very Little Furni-
ture Saved.

Last Sunday morning the house
and contents belonging to A. s. Baily
situated on his ranch a mile and a half
from town were destroyed by FIRE. A.
bout $50 Mr. Bailey arose started
firein the kitchen stove. He then went
to the barn to look after the stock.
About 7 o'clock Mrs. Bailey heard
some cracking noise from the gable
through which the flew runs and op-
ening the door leading to that part of
the house, saw that the roof was in
flames she went to the other upstairs
room and called her daughter, Elsie
who fled from the building in her
night clothes. going a short distance
to the home of her sister, Mrs. ]. H.
Mcclure.
Mr.. Bailey had gone to one of the
neighbors after stray COW and was
at VIM. Biggs, when the fire was cal
led to his attention by Mr. Biggs.
Turning his horse he started for home
but his horse SHE'D and threw him off,
injuring bis hip. Mr.. Mclure went to
the rescue but the fire had such
start that only very little of the
furniture could be saved. there was
no insurance, the building and con-
tents were worth about $4,000. This
falls as very heavy loss upon Mr..
Bailey. In the last two months he
has lost some valuable stock and this
fire impressed him with the old saying
that Affections and loses never come

TO BE HUNG
NOVEMBER 18th
Doom Pronounced Upon the Welsh
Murderers for Third Time.
Sevener Makes Eloquent Plea for
New Trial and Protests Inn0-
cense of Crime.

Again their doom has been pro-
nounced and again the four murder
ers of Jack Welch-J. P Sevener,
Frank Williams, 7. F. German and
Fred Roberts are placed in con-
demned cells and closely guarded by
the death watch.
The third and, what is generally
hoped will be the last sentence, was
passed by Judge Curler in Reno last
Saturday, before a courtroom crowded
with curious spectators In firm and
unfa'tsring tones Judge Curler pro-
nounced their sentence to be hung on
Friday, November the l7th, at the
State prison in Carson.
This case is of great interest to
Lovelock citizens, because it was near
here that the crime was committed
and the officers of this township and
county were the ones to hunt out
and bring to the bar of justice these
condemned murderers. The first trial
was held at Winnemucca, and all who
have known anything of the case here
seem to be of the opinion that the
right parties, or at least four of them,
have been sentenced and that the
execution should follow without fur
ther delay.
Throughout their trials and impris-
onment all except WILLIAMSBURG
maintained their innocense. Will
liams has several times repudiated
confession he at one time made. In
the court room at Reno Saturday Sew
ener took the floor and for fifteen
minutes argued in behalf of himself
and fellow convicts. His plea, as re-
ported in the Reno Gazette, was:
IF your Honor please, the defend
ants realize that the request of the
Court is perfnnctory, yet as this is
the court in which proceedings were
had, the defendants at this time de-
sire to state wherein they believe
substantial constitutional rights were
denied them by the Court.
81 hope your honor will grant me
little latitude, being unskilfull in
forensic argument, to state wherein
these rights have been denied.
ut has been a remarkable case,
your honor, a peculiar case. The de-
PENDANTS have had two trials. The
same wi nesses for the prosecution
testified at the first trial that testified
at the second. The record shows
their testimony.
''The counsel for the defendants
requested permission to submit to the
jury transcript of the evidence of
the former trial, and it was denied by
the court.
Now, the statutes are plain, and
in simple language declare that any
defendant at bar can present to the
jury the original records of the case
That was denied by this court.

Professor Gage has demonstrated that
this vast deposit of antimony ore can
be handled easily and at comparatively
low cost. The mines are but seven
miles from Kodak, the siding four
miles above Lovelocks, and this
through canyon of gradual grade.
A preliminary survey for railroad
has been made and it shows the mine
can be reached without an excessive
grade.
The eastern holders of this proper
ty arrived this week and are now at
the mine, to determine what the fu-
ture development shall be. If they
decide to put in plant and treat the
ore las has been intimated they would
do) it will prove another valuable as
set in Lovelock's industrial resources.
The employment of fifty or hundred
men at plant so near town would
put great deal of money in circula-
tion here every month. By the tests
which Professor Gage has made, the
handling of this ore has been proven
to be practicable. 1t is now up to
the eastern holders to set things NOV
ing. Will they do it

REWARD OFFERED
FOR QUA'S BODY
Systematic Search Being Wdged But
As Yet There Have Been Found
No Traces Of the Lost Man.

County Attorney Roy E. Ayers re-
turned to town Saturday afternoon
from Rogers where on Friday he
formed one Of the party of the twen-
ty-five men who started out to make
thorough and systematic search for
the body Of John Qua who disappear
ed about six months ago and who is
thought to have been murdered some-
where UP in the foot hills of the
Snowy mountains.
The party started out in we'll or.
Forming in line about thirty feet
apart, they went directly across q
large scope of country and then, turn
ing, searched another strip back to
the place of starting. In this manner
everv inch of the ground is covered
and while it will take some time, when
the search is ended, those having it in
charge will rest assured that all pos
sible has been done to find the body Of
the unfortunate man.
TT is a rough country to cover"
said Ayers to the Democrat. There
are deep ravines to cross, high lodges
of Jagged rock to climb over and the
whole affair is about as near real
work as anything that one can start
out to do. Nevertheless the search
| will be most thorough and it is the be-
| lief of all that before the hunt is end
| ed the body of the man will be found"
! In order to give some incentive to
| the hunters, the following agreement
was entered into by twenty citizens,
each to give $5 making the reward

that capacity has still something to
look forward to.
Upon arriving at the grand stand,
Hugh Green introduced the Hon. w.
H. Smith of Lewistown who delivered
the grafton. Mr.. Smith was in par
ticularly felicitous mood and his ora
ton was a gem of oratorical beauty.
We regret that lack of space pre-
vents us from reproducing it in full.
The athletic events were begun with
the base ball game at l o'clock. The
Lewistown Y. M. C. A. team lined up
against the regular Gilt Edge nine
and a good contest resulted. 1t would
have been mucn better but for the
wind and dust. Hendricks twirled for
Lewistown and the Gilt Edge boys
had difficulty in finding him with
much regularity. The final score was
16 to in favor of Lewistown.
The principal excitement Of the day
was furnished by the roping contest.
The rule required that the steer be
roped, thrown and tied so as to re-
main down for at least five minutes.
Francis Biglen first roped a steer in
good shape but his rope broke and he
was out of the running. Harvey Bur-
nett, after making an especially nice
throw, met with the same accident as
Biglen and he lost out on the money.
Charlie Dunn got his steer tied down
the right but through a misunder-
standing, united the animal before
the five minutes was up. Clay Bruce
| broke his rope and Dick Stewart fall
ed to get his steer.
Murray Deaton of Lewistown sue
! ceeded at the second trip in roping his
steer down and holding him for the
| required time. Murray was awarded
the first prize Of $50 and Charles Dunn
the second prize of $25
The foot races excited a great deal
Of attention and substantial prizes
were given to the winners of the diff
ferent events. Altogether it was a
great day for Gilt Edge and all who
attended the celebration from a dist
ance were well pleased with the man
ner in which everything was carried
| out.
