HIMSELF.

RENO, Jan. GA. C. Bond, who is
being held in the county Jail on a
charge of insanity, and who few days
ago attempted to kill himself by
slashing his throat with a razor, made
a second attempt to commit suicide last
night by hanging hiU.self to the top
of bis cell.
He was discovered by a prisoner a
few seconds after he had tied the rope
around his neck snd pumped from his
cot, and was cut down before he could
strangle.
When he regained consciousness he
fought with Deputy Sheriff Maxwell
and two prisoners, and endeavored to
dash his brains ont by striking his head
against the side of the cell. He will
be committed to the insane asylum.
Bond tore blanket in his cell into
str ps and braided it into rope. He
then fastened one end of the rope to
the top Of his cell, and tied the other
end around his neck. lac then jumped
from his bed and was suspended by his
neck when discovered.

PIOCHE BRANCH OF SALT LAKE
RAILROAD.

PTOCHE, Jan. 6.-The material for
the Phoebe branch of the. Salt Lake
Railroad has arrived at Calente, and
the actual construction Of tho road will
begin within the next two weeks. This
road will be only forty miles long, but
it win give the mines Of Phoebe an out
let for their ore, and the camp will
boom this summer as q result.
The camp of Phoebe was prosperous
during the early mining excitement in
Nevada, and at that time al the ore
taken from the mines had to be hauled
for miles to the mills. Soon it can be
shipped to the smelters in Salt Lake
by rail and can be worked at a much
smaller expense. This town will be one
of the greatest ore-producing camps in
Nevada.

STRIKE GRAVER THAN 1894
NOW THREATENS THE
HARTMAN Lines

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The chiefs Of
the organized trainmen and officials OF
the main railroads Of the country have
not reached decision regarding the
threatened breach, and it is stated this
morning that a strike, exceeding in
gravity that of 1894, faces the com
panies AMI the country, unless sub
stant al concessions are made.
The leading trainmen, at a confer
ence this morning, decided to press
their demands upon the roads for bet
ter conditions.
At q con erence between Ora d
Chief Hanrahan of the Brotherhood OF
Firemen and Engineers, Grand Chief
Morrisew of the Railway Trainmen,
Grand Chief Gareetson of the Con-
ductors, ard representatives Of the
Switchmen 3 union and other organiza-
tions affiliated with the three large
unions, held this forenoon, it was de-
cided, practically, that the men are
right and have just cause for striking
in the event their demands are not ac-
ceded to.
Unless omething is done by the
representatives of the railroad systems,
it is very probable that inside the next
twenty four hours there will be action
taken by the men that will bring about
. strike.
In the event a tie-up does result,
great suffering in certain localities is
looked for. Reports from the west
show that Utah, Idaho and ither states
are short of coal, while the same con

WESTERN PACIFIC CONTRACT
BEFORE FEBRUARY
FIRST 1907

They had moved the outfit about half
way over when Mr.. Bradley passed
there.
From Beu's siding an enormous
quantity of construction supplies are
being moved to Silver Zone Pass in one
direction and to Flower Lake tunnel
in the other.
Mr.. Bradley states that there are so
or 60 men and 80 or 40 teams at work
FIVE miles beyond Deeth.
A representative of the Utah Con
struction Co. is reported as saying that
the contract for grading from Deeth on
to the western connection has to be let,
by February 1st. Some of the con-
tractors were in Elko Friday investiss
eating the matter and it is probable
that the time is not far distant when
construction work will be under way
in this locality. sf'

Elko, New, January z, 1907.
L. L. Bradley came up from about
Currie Is and Ely yesterday where he
had been looking after his sheep in
terests. He states that the Western
Pacific is the scene Of lively operations
about Beu's siding. Some 700 or 800
horses and mules were standing there
and supplies of all kinds were strung
along the track for couple Of miles.
One novel scene is the moving Of the
enormous steam shovel from the rail
road to Flower Lake tunnel When
they attempted to move it with teams,
it fairly buried itself in the adobe.
To overcome the difficulty they are lay
ing temporary track Of ties and rails,
four miles long, moving the steam
shovel over it and then relaying the
track ahead. They are also moving a
lot of small dump cars the same way.

sUBPOENED WITNESS FOR ARMS
BURY TRIAA.
Sheriff Lamb Returns From Trip tt
Rosebud in Search Of Witnesses
For Coming Trial.

Rosebud in Search Of Witnesses
For Coming Trial.
Sheriff s. G. Lamb returned from
Rosebud today where he summoned
witnesses to appear at the coming
trial of Armsbury, the man who is ac-
cused of stealing blank checks and
coin from the treasure box of the
Rosebud DEVELOPMENT Company. The
witnesses summoned by Sheriff Lamb
are, Russell -. Hall, secretary of the
Rosebud Development Company, and d.
r. Grey also connected with the Com
pany. Grey was the man who placed
the checks and coin in the trunk be-
fore it was pilfered by Armsbury, and
Hull was the man who found the trunk
after Armsbury had rifled it. These
witnesses will arrive Thursday morn
ing, at which time the trial will be
held.
Speaking Of Rosebud, Sheriff Lamb
this afternoon stated, "Rosebud is
very lively. he stage between Mill
City and the camp is loaded every trip
both ways. Besides this there are
many extra rigs coming and going.
Wood is selling for $1S TO $40 cord
and is scarce at that price. Grain is
selling for 10 cents a pound. At pres
ent there are five saloons, boarding
ouse, butcher shop, and restaurant
in the camp. The only active work
being done IL on the Golden Anahor
Group. The owners and promoters ~
ther properties have not returned from
vacations and the work on other prop
critics Is temporarily stalled,
"Just al present there Is a great
rush on to the new camp northeast Of
Rosebud.
Among the Winnemucca people /
met in the camp were, Jas. Ritchie,
who is in the saloon business and do
ng well, Fred Bradley, who is running
restaurant and saloon, Jean Thacker,
who is running a butcher shop, and
Fred Hauer who is cooking in the
Bradley yestaurant and kept very busy.

ditions prevail in Montana, the Dako-
tas and the northwestern states. There
are large amounts Of freight to be
portion of it being perishable. To tie
up at this season would be extremely
disastrous.
1t is thought that when the man.
ayers Of the roads see there will be no
concessions made by the trainmen and
others, they will yield to the demands
made and avoid trouble. Otherwise,
there are not troops enough in the
United States to prevent serious com
plications.
The questions debated at the con-
ference were with respect to an eight
hour day and an increase of from 5 to
25 per cent. also an increase in the
general improvement of working con-
dietions.
Grand Chef Garretson Of the Con-
ductors returned here this morning
from trip through the east.
1t is now said that practically all
the lines in the country will be in
volved. The strike on the Southern
Pacific is likely to spread any lay.
Chief HanrahSn said this afternoon
1--WE hope for the best and desire to
settle the mattsr conservatively, but
the strike fever is growing. Some
over-zealous union mans refusal to
handle goods hauled by non-union la
Dor may start general strike. This

bit on the plan OF sending him each
day a postal card with only one word
written on it in a large hand, in sddI-

in q corner.
The person receiving the cards rec
ognixed the handwriting and, suspect
ing something. kept them until they
stopped coming. when he read them
consecutively IN the order of their re-
ception. What he read was. "Ridicu-
lous old Bill Jones Is the meanest cuss
in town." and he at once instituted a
suit for SANDER against the sender.
The latter's lawyer, however. called
attention to the fact that the postal
card containing ridiculous" though
mailed first. was dated the day after
the date Of the card having the word

would show that after the word ri

Bailey on the Liquor Question.

On the End day of April 1907, during
the wet and dry election in Bristol, Mr..
d. F. Bailey made the following declar.
alton on the wet and dry question and
did everything possible to win that cleo.
ton for the saloons of Bristol. The
Herald-Courier thus reports Mr.. Bailey
on the morning Of April Bird, 1907:
He said that he was a wet" man and
he believed in high licenses, adding
that prohibition does not prohibit.
Noah came out of the ark, planted
him an orchard and got drunk; the
Savior made wine and men have been
drinking and getting drunk ever since, 4"
said Mr.. Bailey. ''This council should
pay no attention to preachers. They
have denounced US in their pulpits as
enemies to God, morality and righteous
ness, but don't care for that. Iunder-
stand that Messrs. Schiller and Stuart
called us a dirty whiskey gang" |
attribute it to the ignorance of the
"dry" people"

THEM AND NOW.

One of the most reprehensible things
Mr.. Bailey has done in this campaign
was the assault he made upon Colonel
Slemp's record as our representative in
Congress. This he did in his recent
speech before Bristol audience.
The people we'll remember that when
Mr.. Bailey was canNassing in the inter-
est of Colonel Slemp last year he was
enthusiastic in commentator of the
Colonels record, declaring him to be
the most faithful and efficient represen-
tative the district ever had. Then Mr..
Bailey had nothing but words of praise
for Colonel and for Bascom Slemp.
Now he does not forbear to criticise the
one and assail the other. Then he was
hoping to get something through the
influence and aid of the Slemps. Now
ne is trying to get to Congress by ridi-
culing the work of his dead friend and
assailing the political integrity of his
living friend. What honest man will
fail to question Mr.. Bailey's integrity
of purpose, in view of his inconsistent
acts and declarations?
