CONCRESSnAN SPARKnAN.

Hon. s M. Sparkman, Congressman
from the First District, has quite fire.
quently of late been mentioned as a
candidate for the United States Senate
10 succeed Senator s. K. Mallory.
From the constant use Of the gentle
mans name IN this connection, we nat
urally suppose that the gentleman
really has some aspirations TO 20 to the
United States Senate.
Mr.. Sparkman is a good man, fullv
capable Of filling any trust within the
gift Of the people of Florida. His work
In Congress has proven his ability. By
reason Of this ability and his member.
ship upon some Of the important COM
mittees he Is probably the most impor-
tant and valuable member OF either
branch Of Congress from this State.
One Of these important committees
I which we might mention, Of which Mr..
Sparkman Is member. is the Rivers
and Harbors Committee Upon this
committee alone Mr. Sparkman IL of
NNNihN"b NolNC W Jlt plhlt OF IOfl0a.
Upon this committee alone, Mr.. Spark
man Is in a position TO be of more value
to the State Of Florida from a CONNER
cial standpoint than all the balance of
our delegation in Congress, and, of
course, a great deal of more value than
he would be as a Senator.
In case Mr. Sparkman does enter the
Senatorial race Florida will lose its rem
resentation upon this committee. I'm
less one is acquainted with the fact that
almost all of the National Legislation
is transacted in the committee rooms
you cannot understand what Florida's
loss would be should we lose our mem
Der upon the Rivers and Harbors Com.
mittee. All river and harbor appropri-
ations of Congress originates in the
Rivers and Harbors Committee, and ia
afterwards referred TO the Senate for
concurrence. No appropriations for
our rivers and harbors originates in
the Senate, 30 one can readily zee that. |
The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1907-06-07

even though Mr.. Sparkman was elected
70 the United States Senate, that the
loss TO our rivers and harbors would be
incalcuble. As a Senator, Congress-
man Sparkman would have no voice nor
authority in the Congressional Commit
tees.
Mr.. Sparkman has already accom-
plished great good for our rivers and
harbors. At the last session of Con-
gress he secured over 81, 900, 900 for our
seapOrts and streams. Yet, there is
still even more work Of this nature to
be done for our streams and ports. If
we lose our representation upon this
committee it is probable that
this work will never be done. And,
Florida at large, and our ports in par
tlcular, have too much at stake TO even
consider for one moment the loss of
Mr.. Sparkman from this important
committee.
For the good of his constituents, and
the people of the entire State, ii is to
be hoped that Congressman Sparkman
will remain in Congress where is certain
OF berth upon this committee, and
not allow his Senatorial ambitions TO
supersede the patriotic duty that he
owes the State Of Florida in the contin-
uance Of his service in the Lower House
Of Congress.

JACK BIGGINS' THEATER
Is DRAWING THE CROWDS

Two new plays which are nightly
depicted at Jack Biggins' theater this
week in the form of moving pictures
are attracting a great deaf of atten-
tion. One is the Indians Revenge
and the other is the Drunken Mat
tress. These pictures are new and ex-
tremely plain. The Drunken Mattre IS
is comical, while the Indians Re
venge is tragic in the extreme.
We have seen many views of moving
pictures, but one of the prettiest and
most real we have ever witnessed is
one of the views showing the canoe
race, where the Indian is chasing the
white man. 1t is the view where the
white man comes out from the deep
shadows of overhanging bows, beat
ing the water frantically with his pad
die in his effort &c elude his pursuer
And shortly behind him comes the In
dian, his canoe fairly leaping with
each stroke of the paddle. No wasted
effort in his strokes. He is straining
every muscle in his stalwart frame,
and the horrible grin of revenge on
his face is seertainly enough to terri
fly, were it real You can see the
little whirlpools caused by the dip of
the paddle and as he raises it from
stroke to stroke you can see the drops
falling from the tip of the paddle into
the placid water. You can see the
light of the sunshine and the refl,c
tion of the bank in the edge of the
stream. If the phonograph would be
still long enough you might hear the
splash of the water, it all seems 50
real. Many women stand at the side
known that Jack Biggins is running a
good show.

AUTO FROM SAN FRANCISCO
TO NEW YORK MAKES SHORT
STOP IN WINNEMUCCA

A 24horse power Dragon auto,
labeled "San Francisco to New
York. made a short stop in Winnie
mucca yesterday about noon on the
way east. The trip is being made by
Charles A. Darcy, with F. j. Sexton
as driver, and is being made for ad-
vertising purposes.
The auto turned over on the Sierra
Nevada range, resulting in a smashup.
which caused delay of 20 hours.
The party was coming down grade on
mountain road at pretty good gait
when suddenly a steep pitch of road
was encountered which was so steep
that the machine could not be con
trolled, so it was driven into the bank
and turned over. The tonneau was
torn off. wheels smashed and axles
sprung, but everything was fixed up
right on the spot before proceeding.
b. w. Turner started as driver, but
after the accident he turned back.
Mr.. Darcy expressed the belief that
he woul land in New York in 10 DAYS
from the time he left Winnemucca.

Last Saturday Blanche Nye Stan
ton, the 16year-old bride of Major
W. A. Stanton, an aged and prominent
mining man of Goldfeld, was criminal
ly assaulted near the Kinkead mill,
and the affair was shrouded in deep
mystery. The Goldfield Chronicle yes
terday published the following in re-
gard to the case:
Blanche Nye Stanton, Major w. A.
Stanton's 16yearold bride, is under
physician s care, suffering from in
juries which she says were inflicted
on her by Major Stanton when he at
tackled her this morning. She also
says that Major Stanton attacked and
choked her Saturday, when she was
found almost unconscious near the
Kinkead mill She says that she will
not return to her husband, and that
as soon as her injuries permit she will
return TO her parents in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Stanton was taken fainting to
the Office of local physician this
morning, bearing the marks of fingers
on her throat. Her body bore a num-
Der of contusions and she was hys-
terical rom fright and fear. A nurse
was summoned and is still attending
her. Her limbs. arms and wrists
were covered with bruises. She said
that Major Stanton had attacked and
beaten her and that when he had
thrown lamp across the room and
struck her with it, she had run scream
ing from the house.
CT have been beaten and mistreat-
ed continually said Mrs. Stanton,
"during the four awful weeks of my
married life. / cannot tell you the
cause of my husbands brutality-it
was simply that he offered me indigni-
ties to which I could never submit.
I fought against it to the last and
never see him again.
Mrs. Stanton was l6 years old on
August Goth. Major Stanton is GA
years old, and within the last year
has figured in another marital affair
which resulted in much notoriety.
His marriage with his child wife
took place in Los Angeles on August

Mrs. William b Nye of that city
Major Stanton met her socially ON a
trip to Los Angeles recently A few
weeks later he said he had become in,

to consent to marriage. Her parents
objected, but after persistent efforts

Threw High Grade
Ore over the Dump

Not often are mining men fooled on
gold ore in which the yellow metal
lies in the free state. But such has
been the case with the Major Brothers
of the Gold Reef property, which adj
joins the Florence group, owned by
Messrs. Booker, Barnes and Morancy,
in the Gold Run district. A shaft was
sunk ON this property, ON ledge
which on the surface was to s inch
es wide, and a sort of black ore taken
out gave very good assays in silver.
In taking out the silver ore there
was considerable quantity of lead
carbonate in the ledge that was taken
out and, being supposed to be second
class quality, was thrown to one side
over the dump

ond-class ore and found that it panned
astonishingly. A further examination
revealed the fact that the ore is rich
in free gold. Samples have been sent
to the assayer and the ore will un-
doubtedly run very high, In which
case the owners of the mine will have
a most valuable property, since there
is large amount of ore on the dump
and the ledge matter containing it il

Gold Coin Owners
Visit Property

"The success which has marked the
operation of the Gold Coin mines and
mill is matter which reflects most
highly on the merit of the Gold Run
mining district and will help to put
the district in the class where it be-
LONESOME of the foremost mining
districts in the state. Tn-s success
has come about principally because of
the fact that the gold ore was in the
ledges at the Gold Coin mine. Much
of it, however, is due to the manage
mcnt of A. w. Hille at the mine, who
with w. O. Speer, has given pcrsonai
attention to the operation of dhe
mines, and the mill since last ,1aly. y
These facts were briefly stated to a
Silver State News representative, by
one of the party of stockholders in the
mine, who have come All the way out
from Pittsburg to inspect the prop
erty.
The party spent several days of
last week visiting and inspecting the
property The mill is steadily reduc
ing the ore and shipment of bullion
will soon be in order The party have
left for Los Angeles, where they will
visit short time before returning tC
the eastern city. They were accom-
panied by W. O. Speer, who is head Of
the Speer Manufacturing company o.

INVOLVES 10 BLOCKS
Barber May be Owner of the Business
Section of Great Gold Camp

GOLDF1ELD, Sept. 10.-As a result
of litigation an order has been issued
in the district court against the Gold
field Townsite company directing that
company to appear in court the 21st
of June and show cause why a receiv-
er should not be appointed for the
company.
The order is the result of suit in
stituted by Samuel Fox, Tonopah
barber, against the townsite company
for the recovery of block of alnd in
the heart of the city, extending $50
feet east and west of Main street, and
from Myers to Miner street. The
case has been in the court for four
years. Fox claims to have located the
land on May 2S, 1903, as the kams, v
Extension claim, through an agent,
G. Schmidt, but before he could do
his location workq he found the claim
jumped by A. d. Myers, the promi-
nent mine operator, who had removed
Fox S notices and located the land as
the Idols Eye claim, and who later
transferred the land to the towasite
company.
Fox brought suit, but received an
adverse decision in the district court
in March, 1905, which was reversed
by the supreme court in September
1906, and now the legal battle is
transferred to the district court here
again.

A PRESUM PTIOUS
GENTLEMAN
RICHARD LA PIERRE HAS
RECORD BEAT FOR MEAN MEN
plant against La Pierre and Ac-
cuses Him of arious Offenses

Richard La Pierre, bartender for
Mrs. Sol Schubener, is man with
great presumption. He has put him
self in the place of general manager
and dictator for the affairs of the
Schubener estate at DEMO and refuses
to vacate that self assumed position
at the request of Mrs. Sol Schubener
the executrix of the estate, who swore
to complaint against him yesterday
and tells story of persecution and
most obnoxious conduct on the part
of Richard La Pierre.
Serving the warrant, Deputy Sher.
iff Pearce left for DEMO Tuesday to
get the accused man and bring him
to Winnemucca for trial.
In telling of the occurrence that led
up to the arrest, Mrs. Schubener re-
counts story of considerable inter
est. La Piere has been tending bar
at DEMO for some time. Before the
death of the late Sol Schubener he
was working there and he was retain.
ed by Mrs. Schubener
The climax was reached, however
last week when La Pierre unwarrant
edly assaulted Charles Frank, who had
come out from San Francisco to taAe
charge of the Schubener interests at
DEMO. According to story publish
ed in the Silver State News at the
time, the trouble was in the nature of
a quarrel between Frank and La
Pierre, but such according to Mrs
Schubener's story, was not the case
La Pierre, finding the position he had
assumed as his own occupied by an
other, was greatly .sngered at. Franks
and coming upon him from behind one
day, told him he had no business at
DEMO, and enforced his declaration
by taking shot at Frank, who was
unarmed. Frank arose from a desk
at which he was sitting at the time
and in the struggle which he had with
La Pierre, the latter hit him over the
head with the gun.
La Piere soon assumed his propri
etorship of the business and conduct
ed it in a manner not according to the
dictates of the owner. He even went
SO far, Mrs. Schubener claims, as L
attempt to direct other matters il
connection with the management o.
the Schubener business, which EN-
braces store and other interests a
DEMO. These indignities and obnox
ious treatment were borne by Mrs
Schubener for some time. She hesi
tated about discharging the erstwhile
La Pierre because of his knowledge OF
the saloon part of the business.
Mrs. Schubener will remain in Win
nemucca until action is taken in the
case against La Pierre
