BURTON MAY RESIGN.
Before his Case Gomez Up
at %. Louis.

Abilene. Kan, April 7.-Senator ].
r. Burton will resign his seat rs
United States senator in q short time,
according to information given out
by one Of his close personal friends
here. He ts now sounding his lieuten-
ants over the state as he sees them In
regard to the matter. When Burton
was first indicted, according to his
friend, he felt sure Of acquittal. Az
ter he was convicted and pending his
appeal to the supreme court, he could
not resign for fear II would be taken
as an admission OF guilt. The supreme
court reversed the case and Burton
now stands as innocent, until convict
ed again. He believes this Is good
time to withdraw from the senate.
He realizes that they are after him In
Washington and has expressed the
belief that he will never be permitted
to take his seat in the senate again,
regardless Of what becomes OF the st.
Louis case. He also believes, so his
friend says, that he can get out with
less humiliation now than after the
next trial. Burton feels confident that
he will be acquitted the next time,
but other indictments are threatened
which are likely to keep him out Of
the senate until his term exuires. In
the event he resigned the case against
him may be dropped by the govern
ment.

SEvERLY INJURED
IN A RUNAWAY.
JOE 0'lETTA RUN over BY A
Wagon loaded with wool.
Ear Cut Off, Skull Fractured and
Body Baeiy Bruised in many
Places.

A frightful accident was witnessed
upon the streets of Lovelock Monday
afternoon, little after five o'clock.
Joe O'Letta, a Basque, who has been
working for John O'Kaae, and who
has a family living in town, tried to
stop a runaway span of mules, hitched
to wagon loaded with eleven big
sacks of wool.
As the runaway team came DASH
ing down the street Joe got off his
own rig and grabbed at the bits of
the mules, as they went 10y. Az he
was holding the bit and trying to
stop the team the mule struck him
on the breast with both front feet.
throwing Joe to the ground under
the animals feet and both wheels of
the heavily loaded wagon passed over
him.
1t was all done in an instant and
when bystanders went to his rescue
Joe was found vi h head and body
badly bauised. The left ear was cut
or torn by the wheel nearly off hang
ing only 10y bit of skin. The shoul-
der and arm were badly bruised and
lacerated though no bones were brok-
en-. There was profuse hemorrhage
of the right ear indicating, the ply
sicians state. a frae ture of the skull
near its base.
Doctors Binger and Herring were
summoned and attended the mans in
jlries. Their examination disclosed
the injuries as stated above They
had no hope of saving the ear as all
the chances of blood supply seemed
to have been severed, tut at the earn
est request of the injured man they
sewed the ear back on in the hopes,
from appearances at this writing,
that at least the greater portion of
the rim may be saved.
During all the time of the accident
and treatment Joe has been fully
concious and there is no symptoms
indicating internal injury, excepting
hemorrhage from the right ear.
The patient is doing as we'll as
could be expected, however, and the
doctors are very hopeful of a speedy
recovery. aud narrow escape from
what might have been very serious
if not fatal injury.

Assays Show Good Values in Loca-
tons Made by the Mines Develop

When Paul Reid and associates re-
turned from their southern trip last
week they brought samples of rock
they had taken from different lodges
discovered along their trip. Some
of it was very good looking rock,
bu t nothing definite could be told as to
its values until assays had been made.
The first of this week they received
returns from one sample giving near
ly one thousand dollars. in exact fig
ures, 1898 33. This looked good to
the boys, and they Immediately start

Fiday, April, 1905, is hereby des-

the provisions of the law, by the

people with the laudable ambition of

promising, though bashful, young En-
glishman. Both these young men
have previously taken part in home
talent plays, but never more credita-
bly, than last Friday night. The way
Ted 'buttled' when placed in the
position of butler by his tyranical lit
tie lover, was not slow, and the way
"Chauncey" blushed, after making
some awkward bread, was for all the
world like an unfortunately hashful
young man. Their little dance spec
ialty, precipitously interrupted by the
unexpected appearance of Mrs. On
dego-Jhones,' was greeted with rounds
of applause. So, throughout the play,
humorous situations were continually
arising, all of which the actors were
amply able to handle to good effect.
One of the best numbers on the
program was the exercise and song
by the children, "Put down six and
carry two." A gentleman was heard
to remark after the entertainment,
'That one exercise by the children
was alone worth the price of admis-
sion" The recitation, given by Myr-
tie Hull was another excellent num-
Der. This young miss easily commits
long recitations, which she delivers
with rare grace and aptness.
With the mention Of one more
number, the Duett by Mrs. c. d, Ray
and Mr.. L. l.. Tyler. our "write-up"
is finished. If any have been omitted
it is unintenlionally. The voices of
these two singers blended very sweet
ness and their song was loudly ap-
pIauded. With the benediction of
"Mrs. Ondego- Jhones" upon the for
given and happy young couples, the
curtain was drawn upon the closing
scene of "a Box of Monkeys" which
was greeted by $50 house and net
ted nice sum in a good cause.

Home talent dramatic entertain
ments are an interesting and educa-
tional feature of every live and pro-

has, at different times, presented very
interesting dramatic plays, each time
demonstrating some peculiar fitness
and adaptation of the actore for their
respective part in the play. In this
article we do not propose to throw
taffy' or heap undue praise upon those
who took part in the entertainment
given last Friday evening, but only to
pay tribute where tribute is Cue"
Any company who will 60 through
the tedious rehearsals, overcome the
many triiiing yet trying difficulties
continually arising, and successfully
present a home talent play, are de-
serving Of all praise. They have
more than earned it.
II can be tr1 sfully said that the
little drama, "A Rex of Monkeys at

Of the best ever presented by Love
lock home talent. From commence
ment to finish the numbers and acts
nf the program were presented with
out hesitation or interruption. An
orchestra is an important adjunct to
an evenings entertainment. The
I.ovelock Orchestra had some very
).ret,y selections for hast Friday even-
ing, and they were well executed.
Generally speaking, the program
WAS Spirer, for variety is the spice

will have some good selections pre-

During the present season Lovelock
