EsToppED FROM RoBBING PEOPLE.

In the decision Just handed down by the interstate commerce corr
mission, which was written by Franklin x. Lane, the member OF the
board from San Francisco, the Southern Pacific has been denied the
privilege OF further charging tolls illegally placed on freight going into
San Francisco by the coast route.
Freight going to the metropolis by the Central Pacific route. mas
to be carried across San Francisco bay, and there is a wharfage Toll of
5 cents a ton collected by the state. Tfs charge is paid by the Southern
Pacific and charged to the consgner The Southern Pacific has another
road. the coast route. which does not cross the bay, AMI hence pays no
tolls to the harbor commissioner for the state Bur his has made 10
Wharfage. just the same, although the freight goes nowhere near a
wharf. The San Francisco shippers ara conagnees appealed to the inter
state commerce commission, and the decision is the result.
OF course the opinion is framed in the legal verbiage of the law,
and Commissioner Lane does not use the words "holdup' or robbery
It merely says that the Southern Pacific has no right to make uch an
outrageous charge, and must discontinue the practice
The Southern Pacific has about as much right to make the charge as
ii has for lacking on hack hire on its passengers who prefer to walk
from the depot; but the charge was made with the knowledge that ue
consignees would have 10 pay Il. until such relief as has just been al
forded. came to Them. 1t is another instance of the Southern Pacific
charging all that the traffic will bear; another showing of what can be
done in a railroad ridden city. With its hands pulling the strings of the
Ipoliics of the state. and its chief counsel naming the officers OF the
state from the governor. the legislature. and the United States senat"
down. there is little chance in California for securing anything like JUS
uce as applied against the Southern Pacific But fortunately there is a
higher power In the land which the Southern Pacific cannot reach and
the Southern Pacific has Just received another instance OF that interest

PROSPECTOR AND MINE OWNER
SAYS FITTING DISTRICT

Edward r. Kane, prospector and
mine owner, arrived here yesterday
from Goldfeld and southern Nevada,
after having made a thorough tour
from Luning to Rhyolite. Mr.. Kane
pins his faith to Luning, which is in
the Fitting district, which district,
he declares, one of the greatest cop
per regions in the world.
Fitting will BOOM" he declared,
for the reason that they have the
stuff there, and they have it in ship

MILLERS.

Ray Baker, the prominent young
mining man, and partner of Jack
Salsberry in the Ubehebe district,
slept the sleep of peace last night,
for the man who had sworn to take
his life was safe behind prison bars.
And Baker had the proud satisfaction
of having a hand in placing the

After news reached Mr.. Baker of

MAKE A BREAK
FOR Their LIBERTY
TWO DESPERATE CHARACTERS
ON CHAIN GANG TAKE
FRENCH LEAVE.

Two desperate characters made a
break for liberty yesterday from the
sheriff's street cleaning gang and
one OF them managed to get away.
Adolf Mohl and Kid Henderson
who decided to take French leave of
Deputy Sheriff Donohue and his
gang. The wagon containing the
prison street cleaners had reached
the corner of Brougher avenue and
Central street when Henderson n
Mohl made a break for liberty. They
struck out in opposite directions and
the deputy could only follow n SO
he went after Mohl. Donohue call
ed on the man to stop and then fired
| twice at the fleeing fugitive. When
he heard the bullets whistle over his
head he decided to stop and in a few
minutes the deputy returned with MS
prisoner.
Henderson made his escape anC
several deputies have unsuccessfull
hunted all day for the fugitive. TIT
kid" as he is known by his com
p%anions, was sent to jail on the lit
of June for peddling goods withou
a license. He was originally fine

this sum he was put in jail. Mol
was sentenced a month ago to serv

t panions.

ing Mohl the other prisoners kel
right at work and after the man ha
g been brought back the officer kept
h close watch on his charges for Il
rest of the day. 1t is believed tn

are Baker. What do you want me
for?"
The handouts clicked on the
wrists of the man for whom the
Goldfeld officials have been looking
for for the past ten days, and he was
escorted to the car and sped to Ton
opah, where he is 90 locked up on
a charge of threats against life. I'M
mediately, the Goldfield authorities
learned of the arrest, a demand was
made for Argentes, but the demand
has not yet been complied with, and
it is not known what will be done
in the Ease Mr.. Baker has against
him. There are several charges
pending against Argentes in Gold
field.

THE GIRL
WOULD DIE
AFTER A QUARREL
With Her Lover, Lena Gilbert,
Pretty and Young, Made
Despetate Attempt 10 End
Life---Took Carbolic Acid.

Selecting that most horrible of aiI
routes to the suicide grnve, the cnr-
bolie acid route. Lem Gilbert, aEed
about twenty yenrs, comeiy young
woman with not few marks of re-
finement nbout her person, attempted
to end her earthly career last night In
her apartments In the rooming house
on Main street over the strouse store.
operated by May Smith. The girl did
not succeed in her rash attempt but
brought upon herself Intense agony.
1t seems that the young woman, who
is married but who has been separated
from her husband, C. J. Gilbert for
some time, has been employed at the
rooming house. According to report
she and young man named Pat
Brewer who has been in town some
months. have had love affair Yes
terday. 1t seems the couple quarreled
and Brewer informed the young wo-
man that he was determined to leave
her for good. They parted in anger.
All the remainder of the day the young
woman was morose and downcast. Last
evening about six o'clock she asked
May Smith for some small change,
stating that she wanted to get some
candy. Instead of purchasing candy
the young woman bought small vial
of carbolic acid.
Going to one of the bed rooms in the
house Mrs Gilbert evidently swallowed
n portion of the deadly drug and then
threw herself on the bed to die The
landlady came into the room and the
unhappy girl told her what she had
done. The empty vial lay on the bed
Immediately the landlady became
alarmed and sent for a physician. Drs
r. p. Collins and Dr. ii. s. Henderson
were quickly summoned. They found
the young woman in terrible pain. She
was fully conscious but she absolutely
refused to aid the physicians in the
efforts to save her life. She gnashed
her teeth closely and would not vol
UNFAIRLY allow the physicians to inject
the stomach pump Only by using main
force were the physicians able to open
the girls mouth and place the stomach
tube. However DR.. Collins had prev
iously succeeded in forcing an emetic
down the girls throat causing vomit-
ing. In little while the girl was i'm
proved and the physicians announced
that she would recover. Apparently
she had swallowed but n small portion
of the acid. Her throat and mouth and
face were severely burned but the
stomach was not fatally Affected.
Later In the night the girl was re-
moved to the home of her mother
Mrs. Lloyd, who resides on ouray ave-
nue.. Today she is steadily improving
and will recover.
However. st is reported. that the girl
declares she is very sorry she was
saved from death and asserts that she
still intends to end her life as she has
nothing to live for.
When told of the girls attempt ut
suicide. Brewer. her lover. is reported
to have shown but little concern.
