According to a dispatch from Gold

within the last week, believed to be
unfriendly to the |. w. w, have been
deported, the last being Thornton Hor-
ton, manager of the Daisy mine, who
was surrounded by six men on Main
street, near the Palm restaurant, and
escorted to the station west of the city,
where he was ordered to leave the camp
and never return. Horton claimed that
he was beaten by the men. Immedi-
ately after the affair occurred Frank
Horton, brother of the victim, called
upon the sheriff, and two friends Harry

SHOOTING SCRAPE
AT MANHATTAN
Charles CaSSin Fires Four Shots
at William Becker, Two Of
Them Taking Effect

At Manhattan last Wednesday morn
ing William Becker, a chauffeur, who
runs an auto a for the Nevada Auto
mobile company, was shot and badly
wounded by Charles A. Cassin, who
has a general merchandise store at that
place. The facts of the matter were
substantially as follows. Cassin had
been to the fight at Goldfeld and had
been on a spree ever since the event.
He secured passage for Manhattan in
Becker's automobile, in which there
were also some lady passengers. On
the way, he made himself very often
sive by using improper language, a
matter in which he persisted despite
the circumstances of the chauffeur.
Finally the wind carried away his hat
but he did not tell Becker about it
until the car had gone an unreasonably
long distance, when he demanded that
the car be turned about in search of
the hat. Becker refused to do so and
Cassin became abusive and 1T is said ne
slapped a lady passenger who protested
against his language. The limit was
reached when this occurred and Becker
stopped his car and put the man off
leaving him to walk into Manhattan, q
distance of about two miles. Casslr
was left by the roadside with all man.
ner of violent threats upon his lips as
the auto pulled out. At about 11:3O a
Becker was standing on the street il
Manhattan Cassin approached and with
out warning opened fire with a pistol
firing four shots, two of which tool
effect in Becker's body. The gun
wielder was promptly disarmed an
placed under arrest and later brough
to the county Jail. Becker's wound
while serious are not necessarily fats
and it is believed he will survive.

ROBERTS GETS
SIX MONTHS


G. A. Roberts of the l. W. W. Il
Won't Work click will, true to his fame,
not work for six months unless Sheriff
Mcmahon puts him on the rock pile at
the county Jail, breaking rock or push
ing a wheelbarrow, for he was given
six months in the county Jail by Judge
BrisseIl for assaulting William Noting
on the streets of Tonopah a few days
ago. as published in the last issue OF
the BONANZA. The case came up for
hearing last Thursday. Roberts was
represented by George Ford while act
ing District Attorney Percy conducted
the prosecution. The defendant was
adjudged guilty as charged and the
above sentence imposed. Through his
attorney he gave notice of intention to
appeal to the district court, and later
he was admitted to bail in the sum of
81, 900, pending the appeal; his sureties
being M. T. Plamenaz and w. M. Sawle.
Just upon what grounds he bases his
appeal, we are not informed, but it is a
pretty safe prediction that he will have
to feed at the county crib for SIX
months and ruminate over ''the ways OF
the transgressor.

POLICY OF .'RULE OR RUIN"

We would like very much to know
what is the occasion for all this trouble
that is being aggravated by the So
called Industrial Workers Of the
World" with Shaw and Roberts as
boosters and general mischief makers?
The recent differences between the
mine operators and the recognized
miners union have been amicably set
tied, the men are all at work and in the
name of common sense what more is
wanted! Every miner who is at work
today will tell you that he is perfectly
satisfied and has no kick coming. The
few who do rally to the standard of
these interlopers are in most cases men
who do not care particularly whether
they work or not, having no families
nor responsibilities, and, just for the
fun or excitement Of the thing are ever
ready to go on a strike and, upon the
slightest assumption of some dema-
q are at once up in arms as his
followers-just as the h~alf-caste people
of the South American Republics are;
whenever occasion presents itself.
They are always ready to follow any
leader-it matters not how absurd OF
ridiculous his platform or declaration
of principles may be, as long as it is
adverse to existing conditions, and, so il
is with this l. w. w. iasco that is a
present infesting this locality. 1T
presence is worse than the scourge o
lice in Biblical times, for the actions O
its members are equally as insidiou
and aggravating as those of the "gra.

by this crusade in our heretofore har
m%onious community is beyond u com
prehension. What hold or claim thi
so-called organization has upon gu
legitimate labor unions is equally a
vague and unexplained. Their polio

out representation. Their argument

The
WHOLE BUNCH

There was more trouble at Goldfeld
between the /. w. w. and members OF
the Typographical Union last Tuesday.
Dispatches say that a mob of men, led
by Smith, business agent of the |. w.
W., which has ~inaugurated a boycott
against the Sun, followed two members
of the Typographical Union, employees
of the paper, along Main street, calling
them scabs, and pelting them with
rotten fruit. Two members OF the
mob, who were intoxicated. struck at
them. The boys finally took refuge in
the Office Of "Diamondfeld jack Davis
or Ramsey street, and the occupants
locked the door. The mob gathered a
thousand strong. "Diamondfield' ap-
peared on the scene and, upon learning
the nature of the trouble, drew couple
of gum from his pockets and chased
the whole bunch half a block Down the
street. At the Nixon corner an officer
demanded his guns. "Diamondfield'
declared he would kill the first mar
who attempted to disarm him. Smith,
leader of the mob, beat everybody il
the getaway. A hundred Influential
people have called at the Sun office t
assure the management of their sup
port, and a further demonstration OF
the part of Smiths followers will sure
" precipitate trouble. On the sam
evening members of the Painters Unior
called at the Sun Office in a body ant
stated that the paper should have theii
support.

The situation Growing Serious.

The Situation Growing Serious.
According to latest advices from
Goldfeld excitement still prevails over
the Industrial Workers of the World
situation. The mine owners have de-
termined to break the boycott of the
Industrial Workers of the World on the
local newspaper. George Wingfeld and
"Diamondfeld" Jack Davis are selling
papers on the street with the members
of the Carpenters Union and Trades
Council.
The action arose from the attempt of
the Industrial Workers of the World to
force the carpenters to join the organic
alton. When they refused they de-
clared the carpenters could not work at
the mines. The men went to George
Wingfeld, who said if the carpenters
did not work nett her could the miners,
intimating that he would close down al
the mines he controlled rather than be
forced to yield.
Carriers attempting to sell the news
papers on the street Wednesday were
attacked by a mob of 300. Diamond
field" Jack Davis with two guns routed
the mob without firing a shot, as stated
elsewhere in this issue. On the same
night Wingfeld came to Tonopah
gathered a number of determined in
huential men flour automobile loads
and returned To Goldfeld ready TO
battle with the agitators. He tool
arms and is prepared for a serious con
flict.

Boosters Every One OF Them

BOOSterS-ENeTy One VI lHciil
Round Mountain must certainly be a
wonderful mining camp, for from all
reports it has great gold mines, plenty
of wood and plenty of water. Last
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday it also
demonstrated to the people of Man
haitian, Tonopah and Goldfeld that it
has the greatest lot of boosters of any
mining camp in Nevada. Ten of these
young men startled the natives of this
quiet camp rbout 9 o'clock last Sunday
evening by their spectacular entrance
via the Florence avenu gateway in a
big automobile. Each of the represen-
tatives of the great gold camp had a
fish horn imported from Reno for the
occasion, and what a racket those
strong -lunged boosters made! They
sailed down the main street and halted
in front of the Merchants hotel, where
they were quickly surrounded by
a few hundred townspeople.. Three
times three, CHEERS, were given fol-
Round Mountain, everybody becoming
enthusiastic and joining in the demon.
stration. Editor Travers of the Round
Mountain Nugget, took charge of the
boys and entertained them in roya
style until nearly 2 O'Clock when they
departed for Goldfeld. There they also
made a great hit and during the great
fight Round Mountain was very much
in evidence. The boys wore golt
badges and each had a gold nugget
scarf pin. They also had literature
advertising their camp which was
scattered broadcast. They were Ger.
tainly a jolly crowd of young men ant
they made a host of friends for Rount
