POCKET KNIFE
Johnnie Nolan Barely Escapes
Death at the Hands Of
Jack Foster

In front Of the Mizpah saloon last
Tuesday night, Jack Foster drew a
knife and slashed Johnnie Nolan, a
local sport, across the neck, barely
missing the jugular vein. The men
got into a heated argument in the
saloon and repaired to the sidewalk,
where the dispute was continued.
Finally Foster, becoming enraged at
something Nolan said, drew his knife
and attacked him, with the above re
suit. The men were separated anC

GAMBLE AIDED
In BLAIR SUIT

The litigation in the U. S. Court, in
volving the title to the famous Silver
Peak mines in Esmeralda county, ac-
cording to the Carson Appeal. promises
to be one of the most subbornly fought
cases of recent years.
The complaint alleges that some
years ago, B. A. Gamble and his as
s~ociates, j. Wright and John Novaco-
vich, secured a working bond on the
property in dispute for a term of five
years, at a rental Of 500, 900 a year,
payable at the end of each year.
Before the end of the first year, and
prior to the first payment, L. j. Han
chett is alleged to have gone to New
York, and by representing to the
Blairs that Gamble was unable financi-
ally to carry out the terms Of his con-
tract, secured a working bond on the
mine and took possession under the
bond. He made large sums of money
out of the mine, but got into difficulty
WIN the DtdiEo anu WdS SuSu W S"N
for the rental. The court gave them
judgment against him.
The suit of B. A. Gamble vs.. tn
Blair estate and L. j. Hanchett, is u
compel the estate to give plaintiff
lease on the mine on the terms of tn
original bond, and the plaintiff allege
that he is able and willing to carry on
all the terms of the lease. He ais
asks Judgment against Hanchett, TO
misrepresenting his financial standing
and depriving him of valuable property
The testimony in the case has bee
taken before a commissioner, and !
very voluminous. The stake in tn
fight is one of the greatest in the world
regarded by mining experts as a goo
buy at $40, 900, 900.
II is well understood in mining an
legal circles that the plaintiff is backe
by a powerful syndicate of mining men
headed by N. II. A. Mason, and tina
it is prepared to carry on the case in
definitely. The Blairs of New YorI
are worth millions, and they will no
give up the bone of contention withou
a struggle.

School Cadets and after graduating from
school took medical course d t Columbian
University. He was designated for exami-
nation for admission to the pay corps of
the navy. He appointed an assistant
paymaster in the navy for temporary serv-
ice during the SpantSh-American war June

ship Wabash, and, in turn, aboard the u.

Paymaster Ash was thirty-one years of
age, and although one of the younger Off
GERS of the pay corps, had conducted HIM
self in such a manner as to win and hold
the unqualified confidence of his superior
officers. He was quiet unassuming and
courteous to a marked degree and pos
sessed an indomitable spirit and a capacity
for hard and persistent work which secured
for him, comparatively early in his naval
career, an important assignment in the
office of the paymaster general and, later
on, detail to the armored cruiser Mary
land, the pay officer of which Is in charge
of one of the most important and exacting
assignments afloat. Not only on board his
own ship, but throughout the service Wher-
ever he was known, and particularly in
his own corps, Lieut.. Ash will be sadly
missed. The deceased was the only son of
MIR. James r. Ash of the Post Office De-
partment and Mrs. Ash, who reside at the
ST Clair, I'LL t street. Lieut.. Ash was q

Topsy Turvy' was the title of a chalk
talk given at the Y. NJ. c. A last night
by j. w. Bengough, the Canadian cartoon
list. 1t was the third of the series of four
Georgian lectures, and while it was de-
llvered at the Y. M. c. A. the organization
did not stand sponsor for the opinions ex-
pressed, except in the way of furnishing
the hall.
The talk was rather of political turn
free trade, the social question and the sin
gle tax In fact it might have been en-
titled Progress and Poverty Illustra ted -
for the lecturer followed more or less the
line of the Henry George argument and i'm
pressed on his audience the anomaly of
poverty and want increasing as the wealth
and resources of a country develop. He
intinated without saying it that what
Christianity needs is more Christians and
pointed the moral with cartoon showing

DROPPING THE FlLlPINo.

Congressman Nicholas Longworth,
recently made a speech in the house of
representatives at Washington In
which he detailed some of the infor-
nation he gained on his trip with the
Taft party to the Philippines last
summer Mr. Longworth Is convinced
that it is loss to the United States
to own and control the Philippines,
and claims that this country should
drop the islands. He declares that the
savages of the Filipino tribes are in
capable of education and civilization
and adds several more personal ideas
as to, the advisability Of action by the
United States government to relieve
itself of the care of these wards in
the Pacific.
With some people Congressman
Longworth's views may attain popu-
larity, but his argument does not look
strong in view of the facts as history
shows them If Spain and France had
given up their attempts to spread civ
ilization in America and decided in
stead, to leave the country to the In
dams, the progress of the world would
have been retarded more than we of
this generation can realize. II the

A GOOD LESSON.

Muscatine Journal.-The action Of
the war department in summarily
dismissing three cadets from the naval
academy Of Annapolis yesterday, for
the crime of hazing, will meet with
the hearty approval of all right thilk-
ing persons. 1t will probably tend to
learn some of those young gentlemen
that Uncle Sam" does not propose to
be trified with any longer The rules
of the school positively forbid hazing
and yet these rules We're Intentionally
violated bv the culprits who have Just
received their just deserts.
The efficiency Of an army or navy
depends largely upon the discipline Of
the officers and men. The key stone
Of all discipline is. obedience The
young man who willfully violates the
educated at once demonstrates his
own unfitness for the service. There
Is nothing to be said in favor Of haz-
Ing. 1t is unnlanly, cowardly. con-
temptible and brutal. 1t humiliates
the victim and degrades the perpetra-
tor. 1t is disgrace and an outrage
and the only wonder is that it was al
lowed to proceed as far as it did be-
fore 1T was taken in hand.
Tn order to make the rebuke more
effective and the Disgrace more lasting
the dismissal was carried out in the
most public manner. The entire bat
TALON was drawn up in line and then
the criminals Were called out from the
ranks and sunamarily dismissed. 1t
was q. wholesome lesson and we are
| inclined to think it will have a very
salutary effect on the remaining stu
| dents A few more instances of this
| kind and the practice will be effectual-
/ ly. stamped out Of the government

If the Pure Food Commission ever
analyses that tainted money gag that
is going the rounds, 1t will find that 1t
contains an awful lot of salicylic acid,
or some other powerful preservative.
That gag has already stood too many

graphical sections to be on the level.
Take it from me, it is not the genuine
article.

hardy pioneers who yentured into the
wild west had turned back when some
Of their parties were massacred by
blood-thirsty redskins. that whole vast
region which yields gold and silver
in profusion and blossoms with attrac-
tive and enterprising cities might still
be the domain of the wild hordes of
savages. Civilization would have
been dwarfed, progress would have
been a word not understood, America
would not have been America.
And now a new land is ready for
civilization. The Philippines, rich in
tropical woods. in minerals and indus
trial possibilities of many kinds, are
peopled largely by savage tribes, Shall
the people of the United States, upon
whom the burden of developing the
vast possibilities of these islands has
fallen, turn their backs upon the op-
portunity thus offered? Aside from the
material gain that Is in sight, to be
realized by generations to come, there
is a duty that the United States gov.
eminent and its people owe to civil
cation. This Is a duty which cannot
be overlooked. And either Of the rea.
sons is enough to convince Americans
that they should keep, the Philippines

advice Of those who. like Congress
man Longworth, see only the present
conditions in the islands and rush
back home to cry, Drop the Filipinos.'
