F. b. Lord, a newspaper man OF Ton
opah, discovered his wife in a room in
Il hotel of that place with a bookkeeper,
and forthwith took two shots at the des-
poiler of his LIES happiness. Although
the shots were fired at point blank range
they failed to take effect, and the book
keeper made his escape. The next day
the cal came back and what was
worse, he forgave it. What do You think
OF that
The Loyelocks Tribune is a hummer
when il comes to genuine sensation, as
the following article will show
~. II. Nichman, who was before
Judge lltts OF tins place for practieing
without Il license, was arrested in Fallon
one day this week and is 10y anguish
ing in the Churchill county jail, charged
WIN m~anslaughter. From the state
ment OF several parties it would appear
that the Would-be doctor is IN a hard
predieament this time and will hardly
he able to escape the penitentiary. Lat
or developments IN our next.
For the enlightenment OF the Tribune
and its readers it should be said that the
mal-practitioner mentioned was tempo
rarily in trouble last week for shady
work but that the charge was dropped,
following which he left town. While
here he was associated with a DIR. -Four
nier, and together they performed the
operation mentioned. The child died,
but death may or may not have been
from natural causes. At any rate,
Wiehman was allowed his freedom, but
there are few people in this place who
think him anything but Il tirst-class
fake. DIR. Fournier, who was associated
with him, is Il registered physician Of
repute who played the role of dog Tray
until he was enlightened.
Prof. Gustave Meyer, the astrologer of
Hoboken, n. j., is predicting all sorts Of
dire things at home and abroad, from
hot weather and earthquakes to an ac-
cident to President Roosevelt, reports
the Eureka Sentinel. He SAYS we will
have summer this year away into No
vember and that the month of August
will prove to be one of the hottest on
record and as "A result the mortality will
be unusually large and remarkable des-
tructions by fatal electric storms and at
mospheric disturbances will be much in
evidence and will cause great loss of life
and property throughout the East and
the West in particular. He says Russia
will continue in warfare until the new
wear when it will be transformed into a
republic. and that during October many
great earthquakes in Japan will swallow
mp hundreds of Japanese. Earthquakes
will also effect New York, and Brooklyn
bridge and the subway will be in dan
ger. We shall hear OF the fall of IA pub
lie building, he predicts, and names
October s as likely to be Il day of calam-
tiles. On thai date he fears the life OF
President Roosevelt will be in jeo pardy
from an accident. During October and
November the star reader sees trouble
for England in uprisings in India which
will last for several years.
