but as sporty" inclined as they were
they would not play the fight. They
had a sneaking suspicion that there was
a little black man in the woodpile some
where, and so they held aloof from it.
In all Reno there was not $500 bet
on the fight, while you will see this
much won or lost on a wheel in an
hour. The Nevadans suspected that
the contest was framed up by ''for.
eigners" to make a Gle an up at their ex-
pense. and they did not propose to be
cleaned up. Really. there was nothing
to indicate that the fight was not to be
fought on the square, but nothing could
induce the Nevadans to bet on it.

EXCITEMENT AT L X
Hypnotist Too Liberal With Whisky
to Man Buried Alive.

Professor Mars, an aeronaut, cast a
hypnotic spell over a companion named
"Beno" at Elko on the Fourth and
placed him in a grave to remain there
for several days. A small tube reached
from the bottom of the grave to the
top and people were charged 10 cents
to look at the man buried alive.
All went well with "Beno" for two
days and the people of Elko were
mystifed to know how the man could
remain under ground so long and not
die. Farmers travelled for miles to SEE
see him and Mars was making a small
fortune.
Through another tube "Beno" had
been drinking too much whisky and
Thursday afternoon a person gazing
through the tube saw him struggling

he would induce the Governor to enter

The Nevada City Transcript. a Cali
fornia publication. is having much &c
say about Nevada politics. In a recent
issue that paper devoted considerable
space to what il is pleased to term "a
Democratic Row in Nevada" Elk.
cerpts from the Transcript article are
as follows:
There is a merry row on in the
Democratic party in Nevada between
Senator Newlands and Governor
Sparks. 1t appears that at the last
election Newlands' brother-in-law. w.
Z. Sharon, was al avowed candidate
for the United States Senatorship, pro-
viding the State should go Democratic.
Just before the election Sharon was
withdrawn and Sparks came u for
the place. Now the Sparks supporters
declare that Newlands put Sparks for
ward in order to kill him off and get
him out of the way at the next election,
when Newlands, himself, will be a CAN
didate for e-electlou.'
Then the Transcript goes on to laud
Newlands and condemn Governor
Sparks. and ends its article with this
passage:
"But our Democratic friends need not
worry themselves sick over the outlook.
We think that Nevada is Reputl lean,
now, to stay, and that no Democrat
will have a mortgage on either of her
seats in the United State Senate.
When Mr.. Newlands shall retire a; the
expiration OF his present term. Mr..
Nixon will have a good Republican as a

Despite the reported attitude Of stand pat lead

NEW COURTHOUSE SITE.
Plan to Condemn Big Do7cntowm
Plot for Public Buildings.

The commission in charge of the new court

understood that building to cost s100O0OO Will be
the recommendation of the commission. and that
the site will be downtown. Some of the judges
have suggested Union Square and some Madison
Square, but the Bar Association Is almost unaIl-
mously in favor Of a downtown location. Inc
lawyers say that uptown site would be fncon-
venient and it is accepted decided that the
structure will be downtown.
Various locations have been suggested and G
plan has recently been laid before the New-York
City Improvement Commission that is meeting
with favorable comment. This plan is In connec-
ton with the general scheme of grouping all the
public buildings around the present buildings in
City Hall Park and that neighborhood-

St on the south and Leonard-st on the north with
the exception of the buildings lining the eastern

1t Is considered that the Broadway buildings
would be too expensive for the city to acquire, but

filed up with old buildings. which must be wiPeo P

kins president of the Municipal Arts Commission,
favOrs this plan. He says the work Of improve
ment could be made to pay for itself IN large
measure. and this must be done soon in extensive
public works. for improvements in downtown dis
tricts have now become matter OF such large
cost.
In many European cities this is done by means
OF condemning more land than is required for the
improvements. and then the city receives the bene-
fit of the increase in values that comes from the
improvements, and is able to recover the money
expended by selling the extra Hand condemned.
London is now carrying out this plan in connec-
ton with public improvements to cost about 81, ,0O-
600. If New-York condemned the district from
to the Bowery it would have great deal more
property than it would need, and, after putting up
the buildings it wanted and laying out such parks
as are desired It would have a large AMOUNT Of
