how the paper was merely scrap
that had blown into the reservoir and
the water could not be poisoned or he
would be dead man.
Another incident Mr.. Martinez tells
is of a Jew who obtained PERMISSION
to put up a little saloon on ground
next TO where the army would be en-
camped. Mr.. Martinez did not know
of the expected occupancy but the
Jew did, and by pleading great pov-
erty. got possession of the ground
and put up his shack for a store or
saloon. He put IN little stock of
liquors and cigars. Soon the sol
diers came, 10000 strong. and the
Jew was taking in the coin, hand over
hand. One of the soldiers asked his
price for full possession for just one
minute. The Jew asked 500, the
soldier said they would give $500 and
with his comrades took possession.
In the one minute the entire stock
and building was destroyed and the
Jew was left penniless, bewailing his
fate. One of the boys in blue aaid

thousand of them. His weeping ceas-

the driver was. Inquiry indicated the
team belonged to j. s. Wilson living
on the Alvin Henricksen ranch north
of town. He had been in town all
day and had been seen last at about
$50, the time Bosk had heard some
one unite the team and start them
home. Everything pointed to him as
the driver of the team. 1t was sup
posed that ii he had not been badly
hurt he would be looking after the
horses. But there WAS an inkling
that he might have gone to Winnie
mucca so the search was given up for
the night, with the hope that such
might be the case.
The next morning message was
sent to Winnemucca to see it he was
there. No reply was received and
the search at the slough and about
the fields was continued, many of the
citizens joining in the vain search.
The slough was dragged with rakes,
barbed wire and hooks and four sticks
of dynamite were exploded in the
water to cause the supposed body to
raise, if in a watery grave. The only
result was the raising of much mud
and many dead fish. So the searchers
finally gave up in wonder, still hoping
for favorable renly from Winnemuc-
ca. The message came at 2::23 Tues
day D. m. "Wilson is here"
The lost was found. The anxiety
of the searchers was relieved and

sage which he had posted in the P. O.

4 MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCE
Citizens Search for Man SuppOs-
ed to be Drowned.
Is Finally Located in Winnemncca
Where he Had Gone on Busi-
ness Trip.

Great excitement prevailed in Love-
lock Monday and Tuesday when ii
was announced that there was a man
supposed to have been drowned in the
slough, where the county road runs
90 near it and the track, opposite Joe
ONeils place. There was strong
reason to believe that a very serious
accident had happened and that life
may have been lost. That piece of
road, running so near to the edge of
deep water and close to the track, is
q continual menace to the life of trav-
elers and should be changed as soon
as possible.
The accident happened and the ex-
citement began at about 9 o'clock
Monday evening, when Mrs. ONE il re-
ported a runaway team and hayrack
stranded at the side of the road a.
bove their place, and that they
thought they had heard man holIer
"Whoa" as it passed their house. Mr..
O'Neils went after the runaway and
found the team fastened by the side
of the road little above the slough
The tongue had fallen down and had
run into the ground breaking off and
holding the team fast against the
fence.
None of the men being at home,
they sent down for Sam and Dave

The troubles of the Water Commit

week Messrs Mcintosh and l.. n Mar

beavers clearing the sand out of the
big pump at the town well. They
took as much ~ three feet off the

raised 1t out Of the sand. But bow

EARTHQUAKE BRINGS DEATH AND
DESTRUCTION TO SAN FRANCISCO
Loss Of Life and Property is Beyond Comprehension
and Worst ever Known in United States-=-Love=
lockers Anxious about Relatives and Friends

Early Wednesday morning some of
the Lovelockers were awakened from
their slumbers by the feeling of an
earthquake shock. The clock In the
depot was stopped, and several about
town felt the earth tremors.
Soon the word of terrible disaster
in San Francisco and towns along the
s. p. this way began to snread about
town and it was not long before the
telegraph Office was besieged with
messages of inquiry being sent by per-
sons anxious to know of the safety of
some relative or friend in the city.
They were told that no messages
could be sent to the City. that wires
we're all down and even the cable con-
nection was broken. Among the
most anxious were Messrs. h G.
Moore, W. T. Safer and }. A. Mcln-
tosh, whose wives were all in Oakland
or San Francisco, and Mrs. Number
ger whose daughter, Miss Myrtle had
just returned to the city; Geo Pitt,
relatives of Mrs. Prgh and two dangh-
ters; G. H. Gage, Mrs. H. W. Fuss
and Mrs. H. C. Sommers, Jas. Pyne,
Mrs. Joe Therien-in fact many in
town and valley, whom we may not
recall.
First reports were that all water

Pugh to look after the horses and see
If the driver could be found.
The wagon was badly broken up
and the horses had evidently been run
ming at swift pace. One of them
had the bride off, both halter ropes
were securely fastened up, showing
that the team had been united and
started on the road, and had not
broken loose. The boys brought the
team to town and turned it over to
Constable Wolf, who recognized it as
one that had been standing tied by
the Lovelock hotel all day.
The question was, Where was the
driver? Had he been thrown from
the wagon to the ground, or had he
been thrown into the slough and
drowned? Mr.. Bosk of the Lovelock
hotel bar said he had seen man on
the wrack when the team started, he
also confirmed the report that one of
the horses had rubbed bride off.
Half dozen men started with Cons
table Wolf to follow the tracks from
where the team was tied, to where
they had been stopped. The tracks
of the wide-tired hay wagon were
easily traced, they had kept the road
pretty well, except at one point where
they had run into Joe O'Neils fence
and broken post down. Every foot
of the roadside was searched. think
ing the missing man might be lying
by the roadside, bruised or stunned.
At the side of the slough it looked
as if something had struck on the side
of the bank and slid into the water.
lanterns were secured and search
of the bank made for the hat or
whether some trace of the missing
man could not be found At mid
night the search was given up, it be-
ing useless to work longer in the dark
ness of night. and there being no de-
finite knowledge as to who or where

had sunk, that all communication with
the City was cut off and that terrible
destruction reigned. Following re-
ports told of still greater disaster.

buildings, the terrible death rate and

ings, the groans and cries of the
thousands of victims; the dread con-
fusion and disorder everywhere.
The papers which reached here
Wednesday had nothing of the acci-
dent, all having been printed before
it occurred. So the anxious friends
here had but to wait until some au-
thentic news could be received.
Meanwhile every report of added hor-
ror made them more fearful of the
safety of loved ones.
1t was not until yesterday morning
that any correct accountwas received

SPANISH WAR INCIDENTS.
Interesting "reminiscences as told by
p. Martinez.

Some incidents of the late Amer
ican-Spanish difficulty have been
brought to our mind this week by the
visit to Lovelock over last Sunday of
Mr.. p. Martinez, a large cigar manu-
facturer of Tampa. Florida. Mr.. Mar
tlnez is gentleman Of great wealth,
yet of common appearance and always
cordial and courteous.
One of the incidents he recites
shows that he has great courage. He
is one of a few who have a pass di-
rect from the government, permitting
him to travel upon any battleship, or
other ship in the government service
This privilege he obtained in this way.
AT one time during the late war the
soldiers quartered near large Mexi-
can estate he owns, were dying like
sheep. The cause of such fatality
was thought to be the water. Mr.
Martinez had reservoirs, supplied from
Springs. which he was using for his
family and for sprinkling tobacco.
He offered the army officers the
use of some of Il is water and by its
use the death rate was reduced from
so to A per day. What he could spare
from these springs was given to the
government. One day when the sol
diers were drawing water for the hos
pital bit of blue wrapping paper
came from the reservoir, which was
tightly covered over. A rumor was
started that the water had been pois-
oned and that there was a plan, in
which Mr.. Martinez was party, to
destroy the American army by pois-
oning their water supply.
Immediately the soldiers were for
destroying all of the Martinez estate
and killing himself and family. The
noise of the revengefal army came TO
his ears and he was m0mentarially ex-
pectiSg to be taken from his abode
and assassinated by the soldiers. An
army officer came to him and toll him
that the finding of the paper in the
reservoir must be accounted for ol
the soldiers could not he controlled
and that Mr.. Martinez must go be.
fore them and explain in person.
SO. trembling in every limb and ex-
pecting that the mob might pounce
upon him any minute, Mr.. Martinez
went with the officer to the reservoir
where the soldiers had gathered
The officer went with him to the open
ing into the reservoir and as they
stood before the assembled angr.
soldiers the officer dipped cup from
the reservoir of what was supposed
to be poisoned water and commanded
Martinez to drink. This he did. A
gain the cup was filed and he wa
commanded to drink. AS the soldier
saw the water which they though
meant death being drunk hv he whom
they thought to he their arch DESTROY
