a novelty store on Cook avenue, had
his nose shot almost entirely away by
his young son who was playing with
a loaded revolver. The lad cooked the
weapon and was letting the hammer

A Al caliber soft-nosed bullet
sped toward the parent and when he
recovered from the shock about half

to save tie remainder of the nose.
Carson.-The . discovery has been
made here by one of the banks that
"'sweatcd' twenty dollar gold pieces
are in circulation in Carson. The find
was made While the cashier was hand
ling a quantity of gold, one of the
coins being n%oticeably smaller than
the others. 1t was weighed and found
to be 81 cents short of the required
amount of metal.
The incident was quickly investi-
gated and the discovery was made
that the edge of the coin had been
shaved off and afterward milled SO 4s
to resemble its former appearance. No
n but an expert in handling money
could notice the change.
The coin was Immediately handed
over to the federal authorities and the
secret service men will MAX an in
~vestigation, as there is a possibility
that sweaters rave dumped a
quantity of underweight coins into the
state for distribution. The officials say
the sweating is 80 cleverly done as
to be dangerous.
1t is claimed that within the last
few days that similar coins have come
to light and the statement has been
made that many others are in circuia
tion.
Goldfeld.-samuel G. Curtis, who
for thirty years was superintendent OF

mites for making money. lie did
make money, and at one time wls
worth at least hundreds of thousands,
much of which he invested in San

But like many others who lost all
in the recent calamity, he is LETT with
practically nothing, and now at about
a decade beyond the three score years
and ten he is back in the mining can ps
Of Nevada with as much hope of MAX
ing a stake as perhaps he ever had.
Tonopah.-Vester Mortensen and
Tony Hoffstedt were killed and g.
Mayer injured in an accidenS IN the
Tonopah Extension mine. Eight men
coming off a shift were on 4 cage as.

forcing Hoffstedt, wno was opposite
him, off the cage.
Mortenson caught the timber and
hung on until the cage passed hili,
when he dropped to the irss level.
His head was cut off and his body
badly mangled.

Shot Cow Through the Lung.

Fayetteville-Ray, the 13-year-oil son of Thomas Sherry, of Fayette- vile, while bringing the family COW home from the pasture and walking behind the animal carrying a target gun, accidentally discharged the gun and shot the COW through the lung. The COW is still living and it is thought she will pull through ali right. There were half a dozen other boys with the Sherry boy at the time, and il is only a miracle that the bullet did not find lodgment in one Of the lads instead Of the COW.

TWISTED BOYS
Have Exciting Experiences in

Have Exciting Experiences in a
 Cave
 Winsted, Feb. 2S.--A party of five young men had an exciting adventure Sunday afternoon at the Robbers Cave, which is situated on hill on the Burr vile road. The young men set out to explore the cave and had candles and lanterns. When the party reached the mouth of the cave they lighted their candles, and lanterns and set out to ex- plore the interior. The progress was rough, there being many rocks, and the party had to proceed cautiously. All went well until the candles burned down, so the, two who had lanterns took the lead. The young men had not proceeded much further when they heard noise and the leaders, turning suddenly, bumped into each other, fall ing and smashing the two lantern globes. This left them without light, and as they were in utter darkness things began to look dubious The noise was the falling of water in the underground cavern, but the lost party could not locate it.
 For three hours the men rambled about, shouting laughing. and singing. Finally, however they lay down, deter mined to spend the night in the cave, Two of the party, a newspaper reporter and an electrician, left the four in slumberland, and by luck found the en- trance to the cave right before them. They aroused their companions and the party returned home.

New Haven Theater.

More to be Pitied Than Scorned" is the title of Charles E. Blaney's sensa- tional musical melodrama, which is the attraction at the New Haven theater tonight, Friday and Saturday nights, and at the Saturday matinee. The play lis well written and holds the interest of it's audience. The climaxes are
 thrilling, the stage settings wonders of
 mechanical skill, the comedy situations
 very amusing, and the musical num-
 bers features in themselves. It is a
 story of the church and stage, and the
 scenes are laid in and about the Am
 phlon theater, showing to what length
 jealous woman would go in order to
 separate young couple who have been
 clandestinely married. A forged mar riage certificate being the means em-
 ployed to prove the young husband a bigamist, but the villainous plot Is eX- posed in the end, and the young mar ried cauple are reunited after untold humiliation and suffering. The gowns
 worn by the female members of the company have been imported specially
 for this production. The cast is an ex- | ceptionally large one, and has among it's members such well-known artists as King Baggot, John Lochney, Harry Markham, Charles Sutton, Walter Will son, George Ovey
