The saloon and anti-saloon fight in

Attorney W. D. Kreamer and q large
element of the Republican party in
that county
The attempted assassination Of
Hines brings to light the story of an
alleged deal which is said to have
been in process of contamination In
Arkansas City. Hines, who led the
tight on Kreamer, and who expected
to be appointed assistant attorney

BY BUCKLE
Attempt Made to Assassinate
H. s. Hines.
Bullet DETECTED by Notebook
and Suspender.

Arkansas City, Kan, Aug 22.-An at
tempt was made about 10 o'clock Tues
day night to assassinate H. S. Hines,
one of the leaders in the anti-saloon
crusade in this county He was sitting
on his front porch with Sol Long and
some of the members of their families
It was very dark, and some one slipped
up within a short distance of the porch
and fired a revolver bullet fair at Hines
breast. Hines fell forward and the
would-be assassin escaped.
On examining Mr.. Hines it was found
that the bullet had penetrated a note
book IN his breast pocket, and had then
struck a suspender buckle. which de-
heeted it sufficiently to save Hines life.
His wound is not serious.
There is no clue to the perpetrator of
the outrage.

CATTLE MARKET.
Fleshy Western Steers in Demand :
Better Grades Quoted at $500

SOUTH OMAHA, Sept. 2I.-There
has been considerable activity to the
cattle trade the past week. Although
the run has been fairly liberal, usually
running 5000 or 5000 for three da ys
in the week at least. Beef buyers have
been good competitors for all the feshy
western steers suitable for killing pur
poses, and the market has ruled steady
to strong throughout he week. The bet
ter kinds are quotable at $5 toss -.
fair to good kinds, $4.25 to $4.90. r.
most Improvement has been noticeable
in the butcher stock division. Supplies
are not heavy of this class as a couple

way 40c higher than at tha time.
Choice heifers are selling around
1865; good to choice cows, $500 to
$780, fair to good, $2.40 to $500; can
ntrs, $1.75 to 1925. There has been
strong inquiry for all the stock an |
feeding steers offered. While there has
not been any material advance at any
one time, values are strong as COM
pared with a week ago.
Good to choice heavy feeders are
selling at 1925 to $4.60; in fact, we
sold choice lot of 127 head of Wy
omings for d. Mcdonald, Diamond

the season; good kinds are selling ut
$4.00 to $4.25; good to choice light and
medium weights, $500 to $4.25; fair
to good, 1915 to $500; good steer
calves, $4.00 to $40.
There have been liberal supplies of
sheep for the most par, but the feeder
inquiry is so urgent hat prices have
held steady to stronger throughout the
past week. Good killing lambs are sell
ing at $500 to $3.50; good yearlings,
$3.50 to $500; good wethers, $500 20

the claims and it is our purpose to give
careful and scientific search for them.
| would rather not talk now, but wait
until we have given a fair trial of the
ground. In the vicinity there is plenty
of water, and the gentle down-grade
from the mines to the shipping point
at Winnemucca are favorable circum-
stances. The surrounding country in
general is much more favorable than
is generally found in mining localities.
Farms and orchards are in relatively
close proximity and there is the future
of a great camp if the material is in
thc ground
The miners who accompanied Mr..
Van Zandt are G. NJ Buckman, Nick
Roitz, Charles Vollmer and Thomas
Flannigan. They are all experienced
copper miners and have been in Mr..
Van andt s employ for several years
in his copper mines at Butte City.

CHANGE in RAIL
ROAD RUN
INSTITUTED WHICH Is OF IN
TEREST TO ENGINEERS.
Hereafter Every Engineer on Between
Sparks and Carlin Will Have
His Own Engine.

RENO, Sept. 21.-Beginning with
today change of much interest to en-
gineers will be inauguratcd by the rait.
road company. Hereafter every engin
eer on the passenger run betwe i
Sparks and Carlin will have his Own
engine and use it always. The custom
has been to pool engines and an engIl-
eer was given his engine somewhat N
the plat of the first man in take first
engine out. The new scheme is expec-
ted to do away with much loss of time
and make the work easier. Each engin-
eer is required to have his own equip
ment and with the frequent changing
of engines was compelled to change
over oil cups, tools and other parts Of
his equipment. all of which took up
valuable time. Unler the new scheme
this will all be lone away with. IL is
expected, too, that the engineers will
benefit in being able to thoroughly un-
derstand their engines and always
know just what condition they are in
when taking them out or what repairs
are needed on their return. The neces-
sity of becoming acquainted with a
new engine on every run will be done
away with. If the new scheme proves as
satisfactory as is expected, it is pos
sible it will be extended to other runs.

RENO, Sept. 21.-Attorney M. r..
Moore, Henry Steitz and r. o. Carman
of Reno, together with w. II. Norton
and Henry Stanislawsky, prominent
mining men of Washington and Alas
ka, have located seveu mining claims

pany.
About year ago Judge Moore and
a friend visited the district which is
located in the East range mountains,
twenty-five miles southe .st Of Mill
City, and ten miles from Spring Val
ley, and located several claims from
which they took rock on the surface
that assayed $24.44 in silver and
5000 in gold, the formation being .il-
yer chloride. They also located pa.er
claims in the guleh below. On the
claims are two parallel silver ledg"s,
both of which will measure twenty
five feet in width, and one OF these
ledges after being opened up shows

ed Messrs. Norton and Stanislawsky y
in the proposition, and these gentle
men, after examining the property,
located claims adjoining from which
ore was taken out of prospect holes
that assays $1,000 in gold.
From appearances, it is stated that
this spot was worked in the early days,
as a shaft of sixty feet deep has been
discovered on the property, and ore
taken from the bottom of this shaft
has show values of $4.00 in gold. In
dieations point to a great deal of placer
work having been previously perform
ed in this vicinity.
Mr.. Moore, who is president of the
new company, states that there is
plenty of wood within a mile of the
claims and enough water in the vici1-
ity to operate a 50-stamp mill.
AS soon as possible a force Of men

HENRY W. DUNCAN.

We take pleasure today in present
ing to our readers the announcement
of Henry w. Duncan as a candidate
for the office of Recorder and Audit )r
of Humboldt County, subject to the
decision of the Democratic County
Convention on Wednesday, September
Goth.
Mr.. Duncan has long been identified
with the welfare and interests of the
party to whom his name is now pre-
sented for Office.
Through his education and business
training he is well equipped to fill thc
Office of Recorder and Auditor, and be-
sides these qualities he has the attri-
butes of successful and conscientious
young business man. There is no one
perhaps in the ranks of Humboldt De-
mocracy more deserving or fitted for
the nomination for Recorder and Aud
itor than is Mr.. Duncan.
Should he receive the nomination,
which is very probable, and if elected,
the citizens of Humboldt County can
rest assured that that Office will be in
capable and conscientious hands. AL
though of different political view
than the Silver State this paper does
not hesitate to give him the broadest
recommendation, for he is a man,
spelled with capital an"

The efforts of the American Mining
Congress to protect the investor
against mining frauds or by furnish
ing information as to the true condi-
tions at the mine, has made more ap-
parent the necessity of legislation tn
suppr IS the evil, and it is hoped that
all serious mining men will take IN
active interest and communicate with
the secretary, to he end that the mat
ter may rec, i've the most intelligent
consideration at the coming annual
meeting. The Mining Congress never
was in strong position to combat this
evil, and the assistance of every min
ing man is needed to make its work
more effective.
Steps win also be taken at this ses-
sion for the creation of mine drainage
districts similar to public improve
ment districts in cities, and for the
creation of Department of Mines and
Mining as a separate executive repart-
ment of the national government.
