RENO, May A. B. Mckinley, a
piano dealer of this city, and formerly
agent for the Wiley B. Allen company
in Reno, was the subject of considera-
BILE interest at Moana Springs, near
here, last Thursday night. Mckinley
was standing in the barroom of the re-
sort when James May, proprietor of
the Palace saloon, entered and began
abusing him. He slapped Mckinley
in the face, pulled his nose and spat
on him in an effort to make the piano
dealer fight, but Mckinley took the
insults in silence, and when May ceas-
ed to insult him left the place. The
trouble was over a gambling debt
which May claims Mckinley owed
him.
