SILVER PEAK SHOOTING
Has All the Appearance of Case of
Self Defense

GOLDFIELD, March 23.-Full parti-
culars were ascertained today in re-
gard to the shooting at Silver Peak
yesterday. The difficulty appears to
have come about over a drilling con-
test that was held the day before. 1t
seems that in drilling. the contestants
were to change each minute during
the match and toward the end the
losing team did not change but kept
g drilling
In this way they managed to win
by enc quarter Of an inch. But the
stakeholder, Joe Shirley, brother of
John Shirley of the Palace refused to
give up the stake until it was decided
authoritatively which team had won
according to. the rules Of the game.
This caused bitter argument in
which the adherents of both teams
took a vigorous part. The next morn
ing McIvor said to be the same cham
pion driller who took second money
in GOldfield last 4th of July walked
into a saloon and while the bartenders
back was turned. took his revolver
from behind the bar.
He then is said to have walked out
into the street where AL Cook stood
and after warning him 70 prepare,
began firing. The first shoot passed
through Cooks shoulder near the neck
Then Cook drew his gun and fired in
return. The first shot took instant
effect, but he kept on firing. four shots
entering McIvors body and killing
him.

Dear Sir: The way to reckon the
cost OF paint is to put both costs to-
gether the cost Of the paint and the
cost of pHtting it on.
1t would save this country hundreds
of millions Of dollars q year it would
save you alone (if you happen to be q
victin) several dollars a year.
See how it works. 1t costs as much
to put on one paint ms another, don't it
Yes, if you use the same number OF
gallons.
Well, dOn'tI?
No, you'll use twice as many gallons
of adulterated paint as Of Devoe; and
you've got to pay twice as much for
putting it on.
Mr.. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y, has two
houses alike and in same condition.
Painted one house with Devoe 6 gal
Ions. Painted the other house with a
paint that was half adulteratiOR IL
gallons. Same painter, Geo. Gilbert, did
both jobs. One cost $27 the other $54.
Better 60 by the name.
