ROGERS NIpPED FOR MILLIONS
Standard Oil Magnate Railroad
Project Involves $4,000
600 Obligation

New York. Sept. 19.-Reports have
been current in Wall Street for some
time that II. ii. Rogers of the Standard
OIL Company, had been heavily inter
ested in the tidewater railway project
in Virginia and that he had lost heavily
by the investment. A New York paper
says to-day that it can be stated rosi-
lively that Rogers incurred personal
obligation in the tidewater project
much in excess of $4,000. 900. 1t is
also said that the. situation has been en-.
tirely cleared mp.
"Confirmation was obtained in Wall
Street of reports to the effect that Fl. H.
Rogers was heavily interested in the
Tidewater Railway project" continues
the article.
According to the stories previously
circulated upwards of 40 per cent of
Rogers fortune has been involved in
the Tidewater investment. 1t was re.
ported to-day that the personal obliga.
tion incurred amounted to $40, zoo. 900.

1t can be stated positively that the sum
is much larger than the amount named,
also that the situation has been entirely
cleared up.
''In order to meet the demands made
upon him in connection with the con-
struction of the railroad. Rogers was
forced to dispose of large amount of
investment stocks at sacrifice. All
during the recent decline in prices the
vice. president of the Standard Oil Com
pany sold giltedged stocks, such as
Standard Oil, Consolidated Gas. Union
Pacific and st. Paul.
"Some five or six years ago. against
the advice of his friends. Mr.. Rogers
started to build in West Virginia low

Norfolk & Western. His object was to
carry coal aud lumber to tidewater.
The line was to be 444 miles long. Only
1875 miles have been completed.

Winner to Celebrate
Ely, Nevada. Sept 20. - Believing
that music and the arts should be gen.
erously patronized. and wishing to cele-
brate a winning of some $l700 on the
faro tables. Walter Rynearson, former
owner of popular saloon and club
house. hired the Ely Brass Band to
serenade him. The serenade consisted
of but one number. The band boys as
sembled in their working clothes. moi
taking time to don their gold lace uni
forms.
Rynearson had been playing in ex-
ceptionally good luck for the greater
part of the day. and his winnings had
mounted up to large sum. His win
nings were made in the house which he
had formerly owned. which made him
all the more elated. After sitting il
the game for a number of hours Ry-
nearson sent for the bandmaster, to
whom he offered 500 if the band boys
could be induced to assemble and play
just one number in front of the club
house. The band consented to do this,
and in quarter of an hour they were
playing at the beat of the bandmaster' s
baton. In five minutes the number
was concluded, the price agreed upon
was paid, aud the band dispersed. The
crowd cheered Rynearson and followed
back to the club house. where he re.
sumed his playing and continued to
win.

A feature Of the Nevada State
Fair at Reno last week was the
women's riding tournament, in
which Miss Eloise Grimmon,
daughter of United States Mar
shall Robert Grimmon of Nevada,
won first place, Mrs. c. E. Muel-
Ter second, Mrs. Neil West third
and Mrs. II. B. Labigan fourth.
All the women with the exception
of Mrs. Labigan rode astride.
A fatal disease is prevalent
among the horses of Battle
Mountain and vicinity and George
Russell of Elko is reported to
have suffered heavy loss. The
disease affects the kidneys and
the horses lose the use of their
hind legs. Some die soon after
being attacked by the disease and
others linger along for weeks. A
peculiar thing about the disease
is that it does not attack mares.
