Ida

w. III. A. Pike, the well-known attor-
ney, returned Saturday from a visit TO
Bulfrog. Tonopah, Ida and Goldfield
says the Journal. Mr.. Pike went ON
business, but took time enough to exam

country. He met many Reno boys
while away and reports all of them as
prospering.
Tonopah, in his opinion, has a great
future, and even now he states the
camp is booming, hundreds of persons
arriving daily. The Tule Canyon dis

trict. the formation giving every indi-
cation of rich and permanent mines.
Mr.. Pike had an exciting experience
while on the way to Ida. 1t happened
about ten miles from Ida. The auto
mobile in which they were riding ex-
ploded. The machine was hopeessly
crippled and the only alternative was
20 walk. The journey on foot was made
through a rain storm.

PUBLIC INCONVENIENCE.

PUBLIC INCONVENIENCED.
Tonopah has been without postoffice
for several days on account of a SQUAD
BILE between ex-Postmaster Booth and
the Tonopah Lumber Company The
difference has since been patched up
and the ne woffice is now working
smoothly.
The latter has leased its buildings to
the government for a postoffice. but
Booth refused to turn over the boxes
and other Office equipment unless the
lumber company paid for them immedi-
ately.
Booth was true to his promise and held
on to the equipment while the mails lay
undistributed for several days.
This led to a fight between Booth and
Deputy Postmaster Swart. Four of the
clerks resigned and there was ahot time
generally.

INJURED FOR
SECOND TIME
On Stage Plying Between Eu-
reka and EIy-a
Strange Case

The Ely stage that left Eureka Thurs
day afternoon met with an accident at
o'clock Friday morning, after crossing
White Pine summit, says the Sentinel.
The stage was in charge of new
driver and had three passengers aboard.
Judge q. s. Brown OIL e ko, Mrs. John
MCGEE of Salt Lake, and an unknown
passenger. While descending the grade
going to Round Springs sngletree
broke, frightening the horses and they
plunged down the mountain side.
The driver was thrown from his seat
and before the runaway was stopped
he passengers were badly shaken up
and bruised and the stage smashed.
Another stage was sent to the scene
of the accident and after some hours
delay the trip was continued. MRS. Alc-
Gee was the most seriously injured of
the passengers, and when Illipah station
was reached she was taken off the stage
and placed under the care of Mrs. w.
Norman. 1t is not thought she is dam
gerous.y injured. but she is still at
Moorman's.
Mrs. MCGEE was the victim of stage
accident on this same road a few years
ago, when the stage line was owned
by Ben Miller. She brought suit for
$4,000 against Miller for injuries receiv-
ed, and was on her way to Ely to be
present at the trial of the case at the
coming session of the District court.

STILL CONFIDENT
Condemned Men Expect to Cheat

The Gazette says:
A representative of the Gazette visited
the prison at Carson a few DAYS ago,
and while there talked with the four
men who are condemned to death as be-
ing guilty of the murder of Jack Welch
Each of them is confident of escaping
the death penalty. Linderman occupies
cell between Sevener and German,
and from the bitter expressions of the
latter two 1t is well for Linderman that
steel bars are between him and them.
They still claim that their former pal
tried to railroad them to the gallows In
order to better his own case.
Roberts. the youngest of the four, has
little to say Since being in the prison
he has learned to read a lite. He is
little more than a boy, being now only
about eighteen years old. He never
went to school, and now. since he has
learned to read little, he regrets how
he wasted his younger days.
