he was nearing the end he made a trust
deed conveying to ]. H. Hoegh the prop
erty of which he was possessed. This con-
sisted of $3.50 in coin, $500 deposited in
the Eureka County Bank, a $500 note
and some Eureka Tunnel mining stock.

penses. the remaining estate is left to
Miss Pearl B. Dig of M~ascountah, ILL
nois. whose mother was a cousin Of Mr..
Stuhlfoot.

Eureka for upwards Of thirty years.
In early days he worked at teaming,
but his later years were spent working
on the ranches in this vicinity. He
was honest aud upright in his dealings
with fellowmen and was well and
favorably know all through this section
of the country. The funeral took place
Friday afternoon from st. James

OUTLOOK
Is FAVORABLE,

Pending negotiations for the promo
ton of peace in the Far East are pro-
crossing favorably. President Roose-
Welt is striving hard to end the W ar.
The President is said to share the view
of Emperor William that Japan and
Russia should be allowed to settle the
actual terms without outside interfe-
renee.
The Russian press is now calmly d is
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of ending the
wal if Japan's terms are reasonable.
A dispatch from Washington on
June s says: So far as is known here,
Russia has not formally asked yet for
the terms on which Japan would be
willing to conclude peace. although it i,
not denied hal she may have ex-
pressed an interest in their character.
thus indicating a receptive mood.

DIED FROM PTOMAINE POISONING
Louie Tognoni Lunched on Raw
Meat With Fatal Results.

Louie Tognoni. Familiarity known all
through this section as big Louie"
died after a several hours illness on
Friday, June 2, 1905. His death oc-
Cured at his home in Jones' Canyon, 8
miles northwest of Upper Dnckwater
and about 35 miles south of Eureka, in
Nye County. A letter was received in
Eureka Saturday to send for the body
and to notify his brother, Joseph
Tognoni, at Goldield. The remains
arrived in Eureka Sunday morning and
were accompanied by Antonio Tognoni,
q cousin. From the latter the follow
ing particulars were learned:
About 4 o'clock Friday afternoon
Tony Tognoni arrived at Louie's place
and found him sick and suffering great
pain in the stomach. Upon question
ing him. Louie said he had been out
riding in the forenoon and returned
home between ii and IL o'clock very
hungry. Leaving his saddle horse and
three or four other horses in the corral.
he went to the house to get lunch.
This consisted of a chunk Of raw veal or
young beef and some kind of Italian
mush, and shortly after eating it he
was seized with terrible cramps. Tony
tried to relieve his sufferings by hot ap-
plications and such means as were at
hand. but he continued to grow worse
until s o'clock in the evening, when he
died after intense suffering.
When asked if he know anything
about the condition of the meat Louie
had eaten, Tony stated that he had
helped him kill a calf three weeks be-
fore and that after Louie died he went
to the shed where the meat hung and
found it was the same calf he had
helped kill. He examined it and found
it was spoiled and unfit for food. and he
was satisfied that it had poisoned Louie
and caused his death.
DIR. w. F. Burnett performed an
autopsy Sunday morning and found the
foregoing to be correct. Death was
caused from ptomaine pois ,ning from
eating raw meat that was decomposed.
A telegram from Joseph Tognoni was
received saying he could not reach Eu-
reka to be present at the funeral, but
that he would come shortly to attend TO
Louie's affairs. The funeral was held
Monday afternoon from P. H. Hjul's un.
dertaking rooms and was largely at
tended.
Agostino Luigi Tognoni was a native
of st. Giacomo Filippo. Italy, and was
so years. 23 days of age. He came to
Eureka from Italy in 1877, and for
several years was engaged in burning
coal. Seventeen years ago he went to
Nye County and engaged in the stock
business. He is said to have prospered
and at the time of his death was reputed
to have $1,000 or $4,000 in cash. 300 to 400
head of cattle and some horses. He
leaves besides his brother, Joseph

Testing Underground Water FLOW

Testing Underground Water Flow.
The Interior Department has sent a
number of experts to Carson Valley to
test the underground flow of water in
order tt determine whether or not irri-
CATION a be secured by means Of wells
instead of by storing water in expensive
reservoirs. The experts will remain in
the valley all Summer and Fall. and by
taking observations every few days can
tell whether or not the flow and guam
tity Of water is sufficient for the pur.
pose intended. Last year experiments
of this kind were carried ON with great
satisfaction. and the engineers say there
is no doubt that thousands Of acres of
Carson Valley land can be brought I'M
der cultivation by this method. Water
is found in the valley only a few feet
below the surface. 1t is we'll adapted
for irrigation purposes. and if the tests
already made by the Government are
an average q system of pumps will be
installed.
