the terrible wound inflicted he surviv-
ed nearly five hours and was conscious

His sister Lulu heard the report of
the discharge of the weapon, but
thought the sound came from the
street. She arose, however, and look
ed into her brothers. room where she
saw him lying in bed. She spoke to
him and receiving no answer she went
to the bedside and heard a gasping
sound and said: "Claud what are you
trying to fool me for" Getting no
reply she bent over him and by the
moonlight observed a dark spot in the
region of the heart.
She raoused her son, Ed. who

me NEWS IN CONTEMPT.
Judge curler Sends the sluths After
the Editors but They Escape.

Judge curlsr Sends the sluths After
the Editors but They Escape.
On Sunday editors Gotwaldt and
Lennon of the News visited Reno
in an automobile. AS soon as they
reached town they learned that Judge
Curler had issued warrant from his
court citing them for contempt. The
citation was founded ca an article
charging the Court with having a
decided prejudice in his sentencing Of
Sabin for thirty years and insinuating
that the accused was guilty Of crimes
for which he had not been indicted.
AS soon as the gay automobiles
learned that the sluths were after
them and that rev straw was being
2eced on the floor of the dungeon
cell in the strong keep in Reno, they
began devising plans of escape. There
was nothing left but strategy at this
point for every one of the Reno con-
stabulary and crack detectives of the
County Building were on hand with
descriptions of the pair. For time
it looked as If the victims of the cita-
ton would be arrested and thrown III
to the cooler but they were not easily
outwitted by mere Reno Hawkshaws.
When the trail was getting hot they
determined to disguise themselves AMI
get through the Gordon of police, all
bent on their capture.
Presently a bright idea struck
Mr. Gotwaldt, a man of ready re-
sources, and in a few minutes the
two were walking right past the de-
tectives in the disguise of newspaper
men. 1t was happy thought and this
master stroke of ingenuity saved the
day. They we're enabled to get out
of town several hours before the ruse
was discovered and they came INTO
Carson in the evening with their gaso
line wagon running at a speed OF
about 80 miles an hour.
The court, however, swears that II
will not be baked the second time
and orders have been issued to brin:
the catiffs down to Reno at all haz
ards, no matter what disguise they
assume.
The News people claim that the
Court tried Sabin for burglary and
sentenced him for murder. The Ques
ton of the right of Washoe county IL
grab citizens OF Ormsby in this bali
wnk and yank them to Reno jai's
and durance vile, is seriously question
ed in this city.

the Court was coming up here to AZ

A BAD FIRE.
Business Block at Sparks Destroyed
LESS $4,000.


SPARKS, Oct. 23-This city was
visited by terrible fire Sunday which
at one time threatened to destroy the
business section. 1t is believed to
have originated from cigarette
thrown into box of rubbish in the
cloak room A dance had been in
progress nearly all night The fire
smouldered until Z O'Clock when il
broke forth and an alarm was imme-
diately given by the power house
whistle.
The fire fighting facilities were iI-
adequate to put out the fire, but i;
was held in check, hoping that Reno,
whose fire department was petitioned
by phone. would send down a steamer,
or, at least, a chemical engine, bus
no help arrived
In an hour the stately Robinson
building, the handsomest and most
expensive structive in this city, was
a mass Of flames The structural steel
bent under the heat and allowed the
brick walls to fall, endangering the
lives of the volunteer fremen, who
fought the blaze with hydrant pres
! sure streams.
The slow progress OF the flames
permitted the removal of large por
ton of the stock of goods of the Rob
inson Mercantile Company, but the
less of the stock will amount to sew

MANHATTAN.
New District Sends Rich Shipment
to the Mill.

NSW DsSSTSCI 0eno8 Hocn Shipment
to the Mill.
The first load Of shipping ore from
the Manhattan district arrived in To
nopah Thursday, for shipment to Soda
vile. where it will be treated at the
Stewart mill. The shipment, which
weighs nearly ten tons, was in charge
OF armed men to protect some Of the
ore worth from 81 to IS a pound. The
average value of the shipment. how
ever, is shown by the assays to be
about $46S0 ton, which would make
it the richest shipment ever made
from Tonopah, the record having been
held up to the present time by eight
tons from the linn lease on the Jumbo
which realized $2700 ton.
The shipment is accompanied to
Sodaville by e. E. Seyler and F. G..
Humphrey, it's owners, who located
the ground and are also the discov-
erers of the new district. 1t was fol
lowed on the same day by six tens
from the lease owned by C. Humphrey
and Bob Stewart, on the same group,
which will assay from $3.50 to $2201
a ton, and is being sent down as a
mill test. Mr.. Sayler stated that tn =
shipment he is taking out was ex-
tracted in sinking the shaft to depth
of 60 feet, the vein being from
to 9 feet wide, and practically no
sorting has been done. On the same
property a shipment is now ready
from the Stanton lease which assays
from $3.50 to $500 ton.
At the lease owned by Harry Hud
son, DR.. Elton Davis and Fancher
Bros, shipping ore worth about $251
ton is also being sacked, and a ship
ment worth about 5000 ton is ready
for hauling from the Van Patten lease
while the Dago lease, owned by PETE
Bart, is also producing some splendid
ore.
