Wore Candidates.

LAST week we inserted cards a1inounc-
ing two candidates for the office of Audit
or and Recorder, one for Sheriff and
Assessor and one for Clerk and Treas
urer, but did not have space to comment
on the matter
D. P. Randall is the candidate for
Sheriff and Assessor. This is the steenth
time Dick has been candidate for this
position He has no opposition this
year, nor did he have any two yeaas ago.
This is about the best recommendation
an aspirant for office can have, and there
is not much use of blowing off lot of
hot air in this case. Randall has made
the best Assessor the county ever had
and is fearless in his duties of Sheriff
These statements are proven by the fact
that he has no opposition.
d. w. Melarkey, present incumbent,
and candidate for reelection to the
office of Clerk and Treasurer, has no OPP
position this year, which speaks well for
the way in which he has performed the
duties of his Office. If the people want
ed change they would have put forth
another candidate. Mr. Melarkey has
made a good officer for the past six
wears and is careful and Trustworthy
He will continue to perform his duties
as such officer for two years more i'll just
as competent manner
f. T. Powers is again candidate for
Auditor and Recorder. He is the pres
ent incumbent, and the main book-keep-
er for the county. In the past year the
work in this office has increased ire
r,,eudous1y and il has been iuDOSSible

Looking for Business.

+. O. Broili, Superintendent of the
Truckee River General Electric Co., was
in town a couple OF days this week look
ing into the feasibility of furnishing this
place with electric lights. The COM
pany's line is to be extended from Como
to the Douglas and Bluestone mines at
once, and from the latter it is but three
miles to Yerington Just what Mr..
broili did here regarding the installation
OF light system we have not learned,
but there are about IS houses and stores
ia this town which would take lights if
they could secure them and be assured
OF good service Then, the town would
probably pay for couple or three street
lights and some power would be con-
tracted for With cheap power it would
be possible for us to have a water and
sewer system and also a fire-hghting
system of some kind, To bring about
these things the town should be incor-
porated, and a step i'll this direction will
soon be taken.

Injured by Giant Caps.

Joseph Cazenore miner, met with
an accident on Tuesday of this week
while working on his lease on the Ben
ham property at Buckskin. Cazenore
had, few days previous to the accident,
left three giant caps lying among some
old papers at the side of the tunnel in
which he and his partner are working.
On Tuesday he proceeded to build a fire
to melt some grease, and grabbed up the
papers in which the caps were to light
the fire. AS soon as a match was
touched to the material the caps went
off. Cazenore had one hand pretty bad
ly lacerated, the other hand somewhat
cut up and received several cuts on the
head. He came to Yerington immedi-
ately and had his wounds dressed and
will be on deck again in a short time.

DYER MINE PURCHASED.
Utah People Take Over This Prop
erty for $4,000.

Warren Loose, of Bodie, was an
arrival here last week Friday to
meet his brother, c. E. Loose, of
Salt Lake, who arrived here Mon
day, in company with M. M. John
son to consummate the deal for
the Dyer group of copper claims
in this district All matters were
adjusted Monday and the money
placed in the bank for the owners
of the property by the new pur-
chasers. Mr.. Johnson is one of
the most prominent copper ex-
perts in the United States. and he
was more than favorably impressed
with the property secured and the
general outlook for the entire dis
trict. Senator Smoot, of Sail
Lake, is one of the parties inter
ested in the new deal, and strong
company will be formed, of Salt
Lake people mainly, to develop
and operate the ground purchased.
The Loose Bros. are now starting
the construction of an electric
power plant on the East Walker
River, few miles this side of
Bridgeport, and it is expected that
some time next year a power line
from this plant will be run into
this district to furnish the COM
pany's property with power at
least. and possibly other COM
panies.
The Dyer property is the one
formerly held by the Mason Val
ley Copper Co, which is also COM
posed of Utah people, but it is un-
derstood that the only one of this
company who will retain an inter
est in the new company is w.
Mont. Ferry, of Salt Lake.
1t is the intention of the new
owners of the ground to resume
extensive development work on
the Dyer just as soon as their
company is formed and a few
minor details attended to. The
property is a good one and will
undoubtedly prove a big pro-
Queer within the course of a year
or two, when more fully de-
veloped.

Fine Calena Prospects.

Mr.. George w. Slater, who is inter
ested with c. J. Durbrow, Secretary of
the Selby Smelling Company, and A. B.
Hennesy in the lease and bond on the
Emerson galena property, i'll Red Can
Won. has been examining the property
this week, and is very much pleased
with it. Besides having bond on the
Emerson group these parties have made
several locations of Their own adjoining
the Emerson ground.
The tunnel being run on one of the
original claims to tap the ledge which
crops on the surface is now in distance
of IS feet and the face is showing lead
carbonates. The ledge will undoubtedly
be cut in the next s or 10 feet. Ore
from this ledge at a depth of IS feet
from the surface gives values of $50 to
500 per ton i'll lead silver and gold, as
we have previously made mention.
In all probability company will be
organized as soon as Mr.. Slater returns
to Oakland and the property taken over
at price of $50, 900.
The property has one of the best show
ings of any in the district, and as soon
a little more development is done on it
and piece of road constructed so that
ore can be delivered to the railroad ship
ments will be made. In fact ore is al
ready on the dump and sacked ready to
make a carload shipment.
Ms. Slater will probably leave for Oak
land TODAY

TAKES POISON TO
SAVE HIS FATHER
KANSAS CATTLEMAN GIVES UP
LIFE FOR PARENT.
DEATH is PART OF A FEUD
Enemies of Prominent and Wealthy
Man Force Son to Partake of
Deadly Stuff Under Threat
to Kill Former.

Kingman, Kan.-"Father, am
dying; l have been forced to take poi
son by men who hate you and who
drink the stuff
With this message clasped in his
hand, Clearance Albright, one of the
leading cattlemen in this section, was
found dead at his country home. The
father, also prominent cattieman,
had reached the side of his son as he
was breathing his last.
The remarkable story became known
when the inquest over his body was
held.
The father of the dead man lold of
finding his son and related the troub eS
he has had in the past.
Il firmly believe" said the elder AL
bright, that some of my enemies
forced my son to kill h mself because
of evidence in his possession
The case is one of the most mysteri-
Gus in southwestern Kansas. One Nor
day night recently, Clarence Albright
spent at the home of his father, five
miles away. Early Tuesday MOI ming
he rode to his own cattle ranch. An
hour after his arrival he called the
telephone operator at Kingman and
asked the girl to tell his father that he
was very i'll. dying perhaps, and ask
him to hurry to his side. The message
was transmitted to the elder Albright,
and the father started at Cnce for the
home of his SON. The younger man
had lost consciousness before his
father arrived and five minutes after
he reached there, was dead. The writ
ten message was signed, and evidently
had been the cattle mans last act be-
fore death.
The coroner and sheriff Of Kingmsn
county were summoned The stomach
Of the dead man was removed, and ex-
animation disclosed the fact that

death was due to carbolic acid poison
ing.
Since hardy frontiersmen began to
fill up the Kansas plains, the Albright
family has prospered, and in the years
that have passed they have made many
enemies. Petty quarrels have arisen,
and there have been troubles of n
graver nature that threatened to dis
rupt the entire community in which
they made their home
Five years ago Clarence Albright
married Mabel Anderson, considered
the belle of Kingman county. She was
the daughter of a retired cattleman
and head of the public schools. She
was a beautiful girl, and many were
the aspirations for her hand. Her mar
riage to young Albright merely in
creased the enmity that was growing.
Trouble was averted for three years,
however, and then came the rural tee
phone. M. ]. Albright, father of Clar-
ence, was the prime mover in the e.
adjustment of local system in this
place. Albright wanted control of the
suit was real fight, in which Albright
was dangerously beaten.
Since the beginning of the troub e
over the rural telephone lines local
paper started a contest for the mo t
beautiful girl in the county Miss
Mamie Albright was a candidate for
honors and piano. Other wealthy
cattlemen had daughters, and they
were anxious that they win the prize.
The subscription to the paper was
quickly doomed. a certain number IF
votes being given for each yearly sub
scription paid in advance. On the day
that the contest closed NJ. j. Albright
rode into town. went to the Office of
the paper. laid down a check for $500
and announced that he had many
friends to whom he desired to send
the paper. Miss Albright won tie
piano. More trouble followed.
Miss Albright, who had secured
many subscribers through her own ef-
forts, demanded the commission pro;n-
ised for new subscribers at the begin
ming of the contest The publisher re-
fused to pay. Result, a lawsuit and
more enmity.
Meanwhile the feudal conditions are
growing and the trouble is likely to
come any day. Almost the entire
county Is deeply concerned in the In
quest and the probable verdict of the
coroner's jury. Its findings may be
! followed by an outbreak.

Marriage in France.

Nine. Befloc-Lowndes says that the
average Frenchman has a totally di;-
ferent idea from the average bach
elor as to what should lead to mar
riage. He knows, or believes he
knows, that the violent attraction dig
nified in that country by the name of
"love" is often very passing feeling,
and therefore he looks for more last
ing Qualities-above all for suitability
of age, good temper, health and many
other minor qualifications which
there play scarcely any part in de-
termining the preliminaries to a mar
riage. He expects that the woman
chosen by him will be able to bear
her part of their future household ex-
penses, but it may be truly said that
the average sensible Frenchman
would far rather have small dowry
with a pretty. thrifty wife, than a
very large fortune with a plain. ex-
trayagant damSel.

mind, or if his royal mother does not
change it for him.
Such an outcome of the present en-
gagement would not be at all surpris-
ing. considering Alphonso's past rec
ord. From the year he entered his
teens, and he is now almost 20 years
of age, he has at one time or another
made love or fiirted with nearly all
the royal girls of manageable age
in Europe. Princesses, duchesses and
archduchesses have attracted his
fancy, and he has been the despair of
matchmaking mammas and states
men.
The champion royal heart-breaker
of Europe" is the title that has been
bestowed upon him as result of his
flirting escapades, and royalty will

WOMAN CLIMBS POLE ON
NEW YORK SKYSCRAPER
sSteeple Jill" Ascends Flagstaff and
Admires Sunset 345 Feet
Above the Street.

New York-Mrs. Robert Merrill
assembled to the top of the Flagstaff on
the Pulitzer building recently, and at
an altitude of 345 feet above the side
walk admired the red radiance OF
the setting sun at her leasure. Mrs.
Merrill, is the first woman in the world
to reach that height on a Flagstaff.
Her husband is "Steeple Jack" by
profession, so she is "Steeple JILL
which is the only polite Termination
of the title says the New York World.
Mrs. Merrill went up the flagstaff
to win $1,000 bet for David Suss-
man; a friend of her husband, and to
win diamond ring for herself. The
newspapers recently described a
'Steeple Jacks" wife who is her
husbands true helpmate, who helps
him paint lofty gas tanks and nix
eagles atop of altitudinous flagstaffs.

about this helpful woman and hap
