Invited to Supper, He is Robbed by

GOLDFIELD, Oct 30.-Amos Huy.
lett of this city was held up and rob
bed of $500 worth of diamonds by
ar armed robber a few nights ago.
Huylett was returning to town after
a visit in the outskirts early in the
evening, with a friend who is now
suspected of being an aeeomplice of
the holdp man. The suspects name
is John Adams, a bartender.
Huylett had been invited by Adams
to go with him to his cabin for sup
per. After the meal the two were re
turning and the robber appeared and
ordered Adams to search Huylett for
valuables. Adams did so, and the
CELEBRITY with which he detached Huy-
let's two valuable diamonds, hand
ing them over with a little change of
his own, to the robber, led Huylett to
suspect that he had a guilty know
ledge of the affair.
Adams was p~lacedunder arrest and
was later identified by Brendt John
son as one of the two men whom he
found in his cabin near the scene of
the holdup on the evening prior to
the holdup, and who beat him severe
ly on his entering the cabin.

NATE Rolf
PASSES AWAY
LEADING CITIZEN OF NEVADA
DIES SUDDENLY AT HIS
HOME IN RENO

Nate Rolf, politician, business man,
state official and as true a friend as
ever one found, is dead. The end
a few minutes before IL O'Clock at
his home in Reno, where he was tax
en- ten days ago suffering from a frac-
ture Of both legs sustained in a run
away at Reno while driving a frac-
tious horse. Mr.. Rolf was apparently
improving but about 9 O'Clock Sunday
night hebecame suddenly worse, com
planning of a pain in his bowels, and
in spite of the efforts of four physi-
clans passed away at 11:40 O'Clock.
A few minutes before death he re-
marked to one Of the physicians:
"Doc, | think it is all up with me-
Then a sigh, a slight tremor, and with
a smile upon his face his body re-
Taxed and the watchers knew that
Nate Rolf had passed.
The deceased was born in st. Louis,
Mo-, February 4, 1852, and when a
lad of 10 years crossed the plains
with his parents and the family locat-
ed at Washoe City, Washoe county.
He spent his youth there, and when
young graduated from the California
university. He was closely identified
with business interests ofthe state in
commercial lines and was also editor
for five years of the Reno Journal
Later ne was senator from Washoe
county; held some office of state leg
i%slature for twenty-five years and
was one of the leading politicians of
the state. He was state auditor at
the time of his death. He was one
of the most prominent members of
the Knights of Pythias Of the state
and also a member of the Elks lodge.
Lou Henderson of Elko has been
appointed state auditor to succeed
the late Nate Rolf. The appointment
was made last Monday morning at
8 O'Clock, about nine hours after Mr..
Rolf had died. Governor Sparks tel
egraphed the fact to Mr.. Henderson at
Elko and the latter will probably en-
ter upon his duties at once.

TELEGRAPHONE HEARD FROM
SPARKS TO SACRAMENTO
Portable Talking Instruments Garry
Sound without Difficulty Over
Telegraph Wires

The t~elegraphone, a recently in
vented talking instrument, ear be
used by railroad men as far west of
Sparks as Sacramento. Tests of the
transmission power of the machine
have been given and prove that the
installation is one of the greatest
time savers used by dispatchers.
Every caboose on freight trains is
equipped with a telegraphone. The
instrument is similar to a telephone,
but it can be used on ordinary tel
egraph wires over which telegraph
messages are passing The portable
instrument is connected with the tel
egraph wires at any place on the
road, a loop being thrown across the
line, a button pressed and the party
called.
So distinctly can the voice be heard
through the telegraphone that ire
quently the person talked TO does rot
have to take down the reviewer.

Reasons Why Ancient Riddles Are Bet

Fabulous prices are sometimes paid
for old violins, and many an enthusi-
astic musician would part with his
last dollar to possess one of the mas
terpieces of Stradivarius or Guarneri-
us or another Of the famous makers of
a century orftwo ago.
The questioned superiority of these
old and often battered Instruments has
been ~variously ascribed to the peculiar
quality Of the varnish used in their
construction, to the elasticity of the
wood employed and to the ~ripening and
improving effects Of age and long use.
OF late years, however, much ere
dence has been given the suggestion
of an eminent authority that the real
cause Of the superiority of the old in
struments is due to a peculiar warp
Ing of the wood to a higher arch, a
bgckling caused by the position of the
"F'' holes and sound post.
1t might at first thought be suppos-
ed that the same effect could be pro-
duced by giving an equal arching to a
new instrument, but the effect, IL at
tanned, is not permanent, because with
age the arching increases until too

CONTRACTORS TO STOP
HIRING HINDOO LABOR

The contractors on the Western Pa
cifc near Beckwith and Loyalton have
decided that the Hindoos must leave
and they will also try to do away
with Greek and japanese labor and
employ white men whenever they pos
sibly can.
Two carloads of white laborers
passed through Reno for Loyalton yes
terday and viii take the place of
Hindoos employed near that town by
the Western Pacific. More white la.
borers are expected daily, and soen
the Hindoo and his big colored turban
will no longer be seen along the line
of the new transeontinental road.
In Chico, Beckwith, Chilcoot, I,ov.
alton and in gact at all points the
Hindoos are being discharged.

Savage All In One.

Savage All In One.
He is a bundle of contradictions, and,
measured by American standards, he is
a bedlamite, straight from topsy turvy
land. He may be a Chesterfield and
a cheerful liar one minute and a red
Indian the next-a sycophant and q
welsher today and a Napoleon tomor-
row.
We westerners have been taught to
regard the little Jap as an amusing
and precocious child given to obstruct-
Ing sidewalk traffic with his polite con-
tests in kOwtowing, to ~suspending from
the branches of the cherry tree his
dainty poems addressed to his friends
and to dawdling for hours over the GER
emonia tea, and when we see him I'M

and playing checkers, he seems a vel
vet paved kitten in khaki. And yet
you and 1 have seer him in battle a
ramping, raging tiger, greedy of Slav
bayonets and afterward dragging him
self to the field hospital, shot to rags,
unwhimpering, q mere bull hide wrap
ped around a will.
We eve know a character until we
have seen 1t put to the test under

OIL BURNING ENGINE PULLS
1000 TONS
erage Big Train Crossing Nevada
Desert

Oil, which as a fuel was unknown a
few months ago on the Salt Lake divi-
sion, has come to stay. Dispatchsrs
figure now on their freight engines
burning oil, carrying loo tens of
freight. When discussing the new
fuel yesterday n railroad man stated
that the same speed could be ain
tanned with oil as with coal.
Fourteen hundred, 1000 and 100
tons make the loads for the three
types of engines now used ON the
Salt Lake division. The LOO ton
pulling locomotives are the heaviest
in the r%oundhouse. The average load
which a passenger locomotive is capa.
bic of transporting across the desert
is said to be LOO tons.
