Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-05-19
His Plans Miscarried.

A good joke is being told on a we'll
known Tonopah mining man. 1t seems
that Henry Cutting shipped a Jersey
cow from Reno to Tonopah by express.
1t had been Grated in order to keep it
from eating up the express matter and
from annoying the messengers. All
went well until the moor hour arrived
and the train was several miles north of
Wabuska. Many passengers who had
provided themselves with luncheon
thought it time to look out for the
wants of the inner man and proceeded
to get busy. 1t was then that the
aforesaid prominent Tonopah mining
man also got busy. He informed
several of the lady passengers that
there was a COW in the express car and
he had been granted permission to milk
it. He told them to delay enjoying
their lunch until he returned with a
bucket of milk. His request was
unanimously granted and Mr.. mining
mar lost no time in extracting the
tactical fluid from the bovine. He was
a good mixer and in a few minutes had
the bucketnearly filled. He was chuck
ling to himself about the hit he would
make with the ladies when Mrs. Cow
got jealous and rebellious and with a
well-directed movement of her right
hind leg, sent the bucket and contents
several feet and landed the mining mar
on the floor in a miniature lake of milk.
His plans had thus been knocked into
a cooked hat and he was compelled to
make the rest of the journey in the car
with the low. Upon arriving at Tono-
pah he skunk up a back street, a sadder
but wiser man.

Guilty of MansIaughter.

The taking of evidence in the Hen
messy murder Ease in Judge Breen's
Court commenced last Monday morning.
The case was bitterly fought by the
opposing attorneys. District Attorney
Pittman and j. P. 0'Brien. The adj
dresses of these gentlemen Wednesday
morning were able efforts.
Mr.. ]. P. O'Brien, attorney for Hen
messy, conducted this case in a most
able manner. He was prevented by the
rulings of Judge Breen from making
his entire defense, but, under the cir
cumstances, made a remarkable de-
Tense and showing for Hennessy. His
argument to the jury was clear, logical
and convincing and he covered the en-
tire ground. He certainly must have
made a strong impression upon the jury
in Hennessy's behalf, because the first
three ballots cast by the jury were
eight for acquittal, one for murder in
the first degree, two for murder in the
second degree and one for manslaughter.
Rather than disagree, the jury COM
promised by finding the defendant
guilty of manslaughter.
The prosecutions side of the case was
also in able hands, District Attorney
Pittman displaying marked ability and
fighting hard at every turn. He sur
prised even his best friends by the
mastery argument he made to the jury.
He summed up the evidence and dwelt
at length on the portions of it THAT were
favorable to his side of the case. Nye
County certainly has every reason to be
proud of its efficient young District
Attorney.
Judge Breen's charge to the jury was
impartial. The twelve men who had
sworn to decide the case according to
the law and evidence, retired to delib-
crate shortly after two O'Clock on that
day. They returned at 5 p. m. and re-
ported a verdict of manslaughter
recommending that Hennessy be given
the minimum punishment prescribed by
law.
Sentence will be pronounced by Judge
Breen today.
At the time of going to press, Mr..
O'Brien is arguing a motion for a new
trial in Hennessy's behalf.

Her story a Fake.

Since the article, under the caption of
"a Modern Madam Pantaloons, " which
appears on page five of this issue, was
in print, referring to a young lady,
Miss Nello Monticeli, who gave out the
statement that she intended to don male
attire and go out alone in the deserts of
Nevada and seek a fortune in prospect
ing, a dispatch from Caliente, Nevada,
under date of the 18th inst, says that
this Miss Monticeli or Cowboy Nell"
as she was better known, and Hughey
Monroe her alleged husband, were ar
rested while in the act of robbing a
store at De Lemar where it was be-
lieved $25, 900 was deposited to pay off
the wages due a certain mining com
pany's employees. 1t is said that the
company's assayer. Harry Turner, was
in league with the burglars but says he
was threatened and coerced into the
scheme. When she appeared in Caliente
this Cowboy Nelp' was dressed in
mems clothes and had her dynamite
with her, but her subsequent arrest
proved beyond a doubt that her story of
prospecting in the desert was simply a
canard and that the explosive was in
tended for purposes other than legiti-
mate mining.

BRUTAL MURDER
AT RHYOLITE
Steve O'Brien Kills His Wife and is
Shot by the Deputy Sheriff.

Rhyolite was the scene of a brutal
murder yesterday afternoon when Steve
O'Brien, who was president of the Ton
opah Miners Union year ago, stabbed
his wife Mamie O'Brien, with a miners
candlestick. He in turn was shot dead
by Deputy Sheriff ]. r. Mcdonald. 1t
seems that the O'Briens have been
estranged for some time and on the 7th
inst, she filed suit for a divorce in the
county clerks office in Tonopah. He
visited her yesterday and sought a
reconciliation. She declined to have
anything to do with him, w~hereupon he
pulled the candlestick from his pocket
and stabbed the unfortunate woman in
the right eye. The sharp point pene-
trated the brain and Mrs. O'Brien sank
to the floor and expired almost imme-
diately.
Her sister who was an eyewitness to
the killing, ran to the door and
screamed for assistance. Judge Dom
nelly was the first on the scene and
grappled with the Infatuated man. In
the struggle that followed the Judge
received a thrust from the fellow, but
luckily the point struck the breast bone
and inflicted only a painful wound.
Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald arrived at
this moment and before O'Brien could
make another move, shot him dead.

Highway Robbery.

A sensational hold-up took place near
Polygamy wells, a few miles from Hot
Springs, last Saturday morning, the
victim being Frank j. Trantman of this
city. Nh. Trantman had fallen in with
a fellow who gave his name as Jim
Sinclair, about two weeks ago and upon
the fellow offering to give Mr.. Trant-
mar a half interest in a group of claims
near Polygamy wells, Mr.. Trantman
agreed to accompany him to the ground.

at that place, being detained there by a
thunder storm. Early Saturday morn
ing they started, with burros, for the
property. They had gone about four
miles, when Sinclair pulled a gun
and ordered Trantman to throw up his
hands. The latter complied with alac-
rity and "Sinclair" lost no time in
searching his victim. He secured S24O.
but returned SIS with the remark that
he would show that he was a good fell

According to a statement given out
by John W. Washburn, of the National
Board of Underwriters, the losses by
the fire following the earthquake in San
Francisco will be less through failure
of the insurance underwriters than in
any great coniagration that has visited
this country, and that the disaster found
the San Francisco companies better
prepared than they ever were before to
meet such an enormous loss. While the
calamity is SO recent that the amount
Of losses in the aggregate or to indi-
vidual companies is not yet known,
there is every reason to believe that
most of the companies will weather the
storm and that policyholders will re-
their losses with few if any
exceptions.

The fact cannot be denied that Tono.
pah, considering its size and the large
proportion of floating population, seek
ers after adventure, and other undesira-
BILE classes brought hither by the gold
excitement, is a law-abiding town, only
three killings having occurred in its
history. When we compare this with
other places of not one-ffth its popula-
ton, where a dead man al reported at
the breakfast table every morning, the
result reflects great credit on the officers
of the law and those whose duty it is to
maintain the peace and dignity of the
community.
