YOUNG is CONVICTED.
President of Defunct Gcldfield
Bank Gets a Shock.

j. B. Young, president of the defunct
.Goldfeld Bank and Trust company, is
again in Jail at Hawthorne. This is as
a result of the second trial, the jury
convicting him after being out only
forty minutes.
Young vas overcome by the shock as
he had confidently expected that he
would be able to clear himself of the
three indictments brought against him.
He was taken in charge by the sheriff
and is now in a cell awaiting sentence.
Young was acquitted on the first
count, but now that he has been found
guilty Cashier James X. Boal will be
placed upon trial.
Boal was in charge of the bank at
the time of its disaster, but he claims
that he acted solely under orders from
Young and his associates and was in
no wise responsible. Boal is defended
by Earl Rogers Of Los Angeles, one Of
the greatest criminal lawyers of the
west, who says he will easily clear his
client.
Boal, it will be remembered, made
partial restitution Of the stolen funds,
returning about $40, 600 to the bank,
the amount being raised by his friends.
The failure of the concern was one Of
the worst that ever occurred in Ne
vada.
When the receiver took charge he
found but $19.4O in the vault and the
outstanding liabilities amounted to over
$40, 600.
The most valuable asset Of the bank
was its business property which has
since become quite valuable, and will
go far toward liquidating the debts of
the institution.

The Great Red Top.

Six thousand sacks Of ore having a
value Of better than 500 per ton are
stacked on the Red Top dump and an
immense tonnage Of similar grade
has been broken down in the levels
of the mine. The management is
now prepared to let a contract
wherever it can be done to the best
interest OF the company for the
treatment of 800 tons per month.
Thus far the output has been main
tanned without resource to stopping
and it is believed a 800. ton production
can be mined for an indefinite period
as the result of development work
solely. Ia the 80 and 100. foot levels
large bodies Of ore are blocked out
and the shoot is said to be continuous
between those two points, and to eX-
tend a considerable distance toward
the l65-foot level as well. The pay
streak is showing s feet in width and
6 feet OF it returns values Of from
800 70 $3.50 per ton. The remaining
2 feet is high-grade and assays in the
neighborhood of 50, 900 to the ton
Some rock is being broken which has
an average value Of $500 to each
1000 pounds, bnt the general aver
age is between the 500 and 5000
mark.

ATTEMPTED TO SKIP.
Il. Larouch is Caught at Reno
While Attempting to Flee.

Eugene BarouCn VINO Deen IN Inc
hotel business in Tonopah for some
time past, was arrested in Reno last
Wednesday by Constable Wilson, on
complaint of Attorneys Pike and Jones,
who claimed that Larouch was attempt
ing to fee the state to avoid paying
his creditors.
When Larouch was taken in charge
he had but sos left out of the $500
paid him by P. Forzani just before he
skipped town.
The claim of Pike and Jones was for
attorneys fees, they having been his
attorneys in a contest with Mr.. For
zani over the possession of the St.
Francis hotel, formerly the Nevada.
This, however, was not the only claim
against Larouch, for Undertakers
Wonacott and Hall, DR.. Garner and
other business people of Tonopah say
that Larouch is indebted to them to the
tune of several hundred dollars.
When he received the $500 from
Forzani he went to Goldfeld and took
a diamond ring worth $500 out of pawn
and then took the train for San Fran
cisco. News of this fact reached Tono-
pah and Constable Alex Mckenzie was
put on his trail. With his ever alert
ness he visited the overland train on its
arrival here from Goldfeld and found
Larouch in the sleeper. He told him
he had a claim against him for $500 and
unless he put up the coin he would go
to Jail. Larouch dug" and was al
lowed to proceed On his journey. When
he reached Nina he was again held up
by the strong arm of the law and made
to disgorge $3.50 more. At Dayton sew
eral hundred more was taken from him,
so that by the time he arrived at Reno
he had but little left of the $500.
While awaiting the departure of the
train from Reno, Larouch stood in the
shadows of the off side of the train.
The officer of the law and Attorney w.
T. Jones, who received a wire from
Tonopah that the man had left and who
swore out a warrant for his arrest,
made a canvass of the train, but no
Larouch was to be found. One of the
women who accompanied him stated
that he had left the train at a station
up the road. But an old negro woman
insisted that he had only just left the
car. 1t was impossible for her to be
mistaken, because Larouch wears a
cork leg. Acting on the information
from the colored woman, the ~searchers
discovered Larouch just as the train
started, climbing back on the platform.
At a signal the engine stopped and
Constable Wilson added another to his
long list of arrests.
But Johnson & Pike wish they had
seen him before the women and the
creditors along the line had cleaned him
out Of all his money except $65.

WILL HAVE SPECIAL WIRE.
Enterprise Of Great brokerage
Firm, Kenneth DOnnellan Co.

Herbert Gee, the well-known broker,
and member of the firm of Kenneth
Donnellan & Co., has returned to Tono-
pah after a months absence most of
time was spent in San Francisco.
Mr.. Gee stands high in the business
world of Tonopah and when he says
that the San Francians are too slow to
grasp the many excellent opportunities
offered by the great State of Nevada,
his sentiments and words are heartily
endorsed by the people of the entire
State of Nevada.
His firm is seriously contemplating
the leasing of a special wire between
here and New York and in connection
with one of the most prominent brok-
ers there, handle Tonopah, Goldfeld,
Bullfrog and other Nevada stocks on
the New York Stock Exchange. Mr..
Gee and his excellent firm, Kenneth
Donnellan & Company, certainly have
just aus to wish to trade on the New
York exchange instead OF the San
Francisco exchanges for it has been
painfully apparent to Tonopahites foi
a long time that the people Of San
Francisco are about fifty years-met.
aphorically speaking behind the times.
They not only wish to get good solid
Tonopah stocks for about one-half Their
values, but they also wish to secure
choice claims in Nevada by paying a
few dollars to cover the cost Of the in
corporation of a company. The many
big structures that add to the archi-
tectural beauty of the bay city were
built with Nevada money and yet San
Franciscans could never e any good
in anything that had the name of
"Nevada" connected with it.

The young son of j. c. Wilson. the

from drowning in the Grand river
last Saturday afternoon. About 10
or 20 boys were in swimming in the
bayou just below the foot bridge. A
few of the older and more daring
ones did not conhne their swimming
10 the bayou, but ventured out into
the current of the river. Mr.. vii
sons son got beyond his depth and
the other boys soon saw that he was
unable to stem the current. Some of
them tried to lend him assistance.
but his struggles endangered them
and they had to give it up. Fortu-
uately Mr.. Wilson himself was on the
ground and was able to reach the
boy before II was too late. However,
in getting the boy to safety he was
sucked under twice by the current.
The Grand river is dangerous at all
times and should never be used to
swim in. Even the strongest swim
mers stand no show in its treacher-
GUS undercurrents.

moned and the stockings ON his feet
were removed. and in performing this
painful service, great hunks of flesh
peeled off the upper part of both
feet. DR.. Bun relieved the suffering

do and this morning his pain had
eased greatly.
The accident was one that might
happen to anyone, and its effects
We're most awfully severe.

dent. The under part of the feet
