History VIII Repeat Itself.
A Good Theatrical Company.

Eureka has been the center of drama
tic activity all week and the Ruble
Theater Company that opened at the
Eureka Opera House Monday has been
greeted by large audiences every night.
The play has been changed nightly. the
offerings being dramas of the day,
we'll staged and finely acted. That the
Ruble Company is very clever is shown
by the favor accorded il, and when a
troupe can hold the boards here for a
week Eureka can no longer be classed a
LAY town" in the theatrical directory.
"a Ruined Life" is billed for Satur-
day night. and the company's engage
ment in Eureka will close Sunday
night when I'm the Shadow of the
Cross will be repeated by request.

And the Trunks Went Wrong

On April 3 Mrs. 1. @. O. Whitmore
left Eureka for a visit with her son,
Walter. at Goldfeld. and the same day
Mrs. Louis Gibellini left her home at
the Diamond mine for a visit in Cali
fornia. When changing cars at Palisade
a mistake was made in checking their
trunks-Mrs. Gibellini's trunk being
checked to Goldfield and Mrs. Whit
mors's to Mrs. Gibellini's destination
in California. Upon arriving at Gold
field Mrs. Wnitmore called for her
trunk and was surprised to find that
she had made an exchange of trunks
during her trip. Mrs. Gibellini is some
place in California, but up to the pres.
emit time they have been unable to
locate her. We have not heard whether
or not the baggageman at Palisade has
resigned. but he will probably be busily
engaged elsewhere when the ladies
make their homeward trip.

A. S. HEHDERsON'S CLOSE CALL
Gasoline Lamp Nearly Causes
Destruction of the Family
Home on Spring Street.

Last Saturday evening about z O'Clock
A. s. Henderson met with an accident
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George 5. Henderson, on Spring
street, while attempting to take a gaso-
line lamp from the house. While pre-
pairing to light the lamp the generator
became overheated and upon being
lighted the gas ignited, causing con-
siderable blaze.
Bert opened the DINING room door
and attempted to take the lamp down
from the hook in the ceiling and throw
1t out doors. In so doing he pulled the
lamp apart. the oil spreading over the
carpet. table and chairs, causing what
might have proven a serious fire had it
not been for the prompt action of men,
bers of the family. who extinguished
the blaze by some quick work.
Bert was the only one injured. he
having most of his hair and eye brows
badly singed and his face and one hand
severely burned. DIR. Burnett was
called to dress the wounds, and thinks
they will heal and leave no cars.
Mr.. Henderson is principal Of the
Ruby Hill school and the trustees have
closed his room for two weeks. at the
end of which time it is expected he will
be able to return to his school duties.

GUILTY OF EXHIBITING WEAPON
Two Shots From Automatic Revolver
Cost $50 in Eureka.

tOot SOU III EuTchas
Last Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock
Eugene Norris and Charley Anderson
engaged in a quarrel in front of the
building on lower Main street which
was destroyed by fire during the night.
The trouble began when Norris struck
Anderson in the face, which attack
Anderson resisted by proceeding to
knock Norris down. Norris upon re-
gaining his feet drew an automatic
revolver and fired twice-but never
touched him. Both men were arrested
for being disorderly. The testimony
showed that Anderson was not the ag-
gressor and only struck Norris in self
defense. He was discharged. District
Attorney Lew Rogers asked that the
charge of misdemeanor be dismissed
against Norris and that he be taken up
on a more serious charge.
On Thursday morning Norris was ar.
rested on the charge of exhibiting a
deadly weapon. The testimony at the
hearing of a majority of witnesses in
the latter case tended to show that tn 9
gun was accidently discharged during a
scuffie. Norris plead guilty to the
latter charge and Judge Cromer fined
him $50 and costs, which made a total
of $50. The fine was paid and all
parties interested seem satisfied.

Quietly slipping from her home at
Typo, Miss Loie Agnes Page. aged 30
years, went to the Typo mill and took
from the assay Office some blue vitriol
and. intent upon taking her " life,
she drank the deadly potion about
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
April 4. 1906. The dose was sufficient
to cause her death and the powerful
irritant poison acted quickly. When
the unfortunate young woman was dis.

tired Of living at an age when most
women find lite happiest, Miss Page re-

for three years mining operations have
been suspended and the population

DISASTROUS FIRE IN EUREKA
Rossetti Bros. Two Story Brick Build
ing Burned by Ineendiary

Tuesday morning at l O'Clock the
people of Eureka were aroused by an
alarm of fire. The blaze was found to
be rapidly consuming the building on
lower Main street, owned by the Rosetti
Bros. and occupied by William Sandry
and John Dapoli as a saloon and Joseph
Ford, who had fitted up IL Don in the
upper story for lodging purposes.
The first alarm failed to arouse
sufficient people to fight the fire success
fully aud q second alarm was given.
The Rescue. Mob Hill aud Knicker-
booker Hose carriages responded. The
boys did good work and succeeded in
extinguishing the blaze, but no IN
til the upper story was almost destroy
ed. The first floor is only damaged by
by water.
The 1000 feet of new cotton hose.
recently purchased by the county for
the Rescue and Knob Hill Hose Com
panies, was given its first working test
and was found to give good satisfac-
ton, as it is much lighter than the
rubber hose and can be handled to
better advantage.
John Hoffmaster aud a painter who
were rooming in the house had a mar.
row escape. being compelled to reach
the street from the porch as the stair.
way was all in flames.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
1t is thought to have started in a clothes
closet at the head Of the stairway and
the people who were first to arrive say
that the odor Of kerosene was very
strong.
The fire is thought to be of incendi-
airy origin, but as there was no insur-
ance on the building and contents,
the object was is not known. j. A.
Rattazzi, agent for Rossetti Bros. place
the damage to the building and con
tents at over $1,000.
This same building was set on fire 10
years ago and badly damaged. When
the matter was being investigated the
person suspected left the country.

At III, He Steals March on Friends

Dashing and debonair, despite the II
years he owns up to, Jim" Orndorf,
one Of the most picturesque figures in
this community. is married again. says
the San Francisco Examiner Of April 8.
Wednesday last he was welded to Mrs.
Gussie Hall, q comedy widow. % years
his junior.
Orndorff's son, Harry, is stage direct
or at the Orpheum. He states that his
father breathed no word to him Of his
matrimonial project and never thought
it worth while even to mention the
woman's name. None of Orndorff's
friends had even the slightest intima-
ton of his contemplated marriage. In
fact, it was generally supposed that he
had quite reconciled himself to the
peculiarly lonely life he has led for the
past ten years.
A Popular Sport In Nepada.
James w. Orndorff is known to the
men Of early days. though the present
generation hears little about him. He
was one of the band of adventurous
spirits that helped to make life in Vir.
ginia City what it was when the Com.
stock fever was at its height. He was
a dashing figure in those days, when
gambling was a sport in which all who
made money fast INDUCED as recrea-
ton. He gained many friends, and
the pick -and-shovel men who made
Nevada and California history and
bnilt mansions on Mob Hill all had a
good word for Jim" Orndorff. He is
related by marriage to one Of the most
prominent of California's ~millionaires.
Many years ago the life ran out of
Virginia City, and the gamblers and
other adventurous people found quart
ers elsewhere. Orndorff came to Eu-
reka and for q time had charge Of the
games in the Empire saloon when it
was owned by Gus Heintze and the
late Charley Graham. From Eureka
he went to San Francisco and is
