The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1906-01-04

A complaint has been brought to
this office by one of our prominent
citizens that a number of small boys
in town have air rifles and are in the
habit OF carrying them around and
shooting at every kind OF an object.
He wishes us to mention the fact that
it may be only a question of time be-
fore some one may get badly hurt by
this dangerous toy. 1t is now up to
the parents to see that their little
boys do not carry this gun around
town. See to it before some one gets
hurt.

10000 head of EIko county sheep are
snow-bound eight miles this side of
the Six Mile House in the Pancake
range of mountains in White Pine
county, says the Eureka Sentinel Of
last Saturday.
Monday was a beautiful day. Not
a cloud was visible in the sky until
nearly noon. 1t was just cold enough
to put snap into everybody, and every
body was in good spirits. 1t was such
a day as makes one glad that he is
alive. If the first day of 1906 was a
fair sample Of what is to come during
the rest Of the year there will be much
sunshine and few clouds. Mayi it be
so with our lives during the next
year.
All tile towns in the State are COM
planning of n coal famine. The same
condition of affairs exists in Battle
Mountain, our dealers being unable
to meet n tenth per cent of the de-
maud. In Lovelock, which town has
no wood supply, the situation is
critical, and the Tribune OF that place
advocates the stopping OF a coal train
or TWO and the forcible unloading of
enough to keep the people from freez-
ing.
An Indiana poetess signs for a "vast,
boundless, silent DESERT" where she
can be "alone with him" Come West,
young lady; come West. We have a
large assortment of unoccupied des-
erts for rent or sale. While they are
not exact Y b0undless they are "vast"
enough Tor all ordinary purposes, and
no doubt many spots coulo be found
sufficiently silent to appease yodr
longing and where you could be all
alone with "him.ps

Cans Wins The Lightweight
Championship.

Tho much talked of prize fight be-
tween Cans and Nelson took place at
Goldtield Monday. The stakes were
high and the lightweight champion
ship was to he the reward OF the win
ner. An immense arena had been
erected and tho seats were sold long be-
fore the day of the contest. Both ME
we're in perfect condition according to
reports and ever, thing connected with
the details seemed to have been COM
pletely arranged.
A number of special trains carried
visitors to Goldfield and the regular
train service had been crowded for
several days before the fight. The
fact that over 200 women were pres
ent might show the high class char
acter OF the entertainment.
The fight continued for forty-two
rounds and was entered of record,
covering the usual jabs, ETC., until the
forty-second round when Nelson, as if
determined to end the contest without
having the record show that he was
whipped oil knocked out, struck Cans
a vicious blow below the belt, the lat
ter sinking to the floor comparatively
helpless.
Referee Siler at once awarded the
fight to Cans on a foul. The latter
was cheered by the great crowd from
the ring and Nelson was Kissed. A
large amount of money changed
hands, not only at the scene OF the
contest but in various part is of the
country. The gate receipts were
nearly $4,000.

Strike Breakers Shoot Up Hazen.

Three train-loads of strike breakers
passed through Battle Mountain last
Saturday on their way to San Fran
cisco in an endeavor to break up the
unions which are on q strike there
now. They are surely a tough look
ing bunch.
The Reno Journal SAYS that rs one
of the trains carrying the Can Fran
cisco strike breakers was being held at
Hazen Sunday morning, al alterca-
ton occurred between one of the
strikers and a man standing on the
| platform. A rock was thrown from
the crowd through a a window.
This was responded to by a pistol shot
from the train. A fusilade of rocks
followed and about fifty shots were
fired by the strike breakers. No one
was injured and the hostilities were
brought to a close by the train leav-
ing the station.
The strike breakers who travelled in
three special trains, were held Satur.
day night at Humboldt, the move
ments OF the trains being kept secret
They we're sent to Vista Sunday morn
ing and an engine backed to that
place from Sparks. The trains were
sent through Sparks and Reno with.
out a stop at a rapid rate, no halt
being made until Truckee was reach
ed. The conduct OF the strike break
ers at Truckee is reported to have beer
good. They were held secretly at a
point on the road near Sacramento
Monday because it WAS not deemed
advisable to land them in San Fran
cisco on Labor Day.
