IN THE SUPREME COURT

CARSON, New, Feb. 1.-the APP
peal for a new trial of John Hennessy.
serving a sentence in the state prison
for the murder of Frank Ganahl, at
Tonopah, was argued in the supreme
court of the state yesterday and sub
mitted. The case has attrdacted con
siderable attention throughout the
state owing to the circumstances.
When the Miners union was form
ed at Tonopah in January of 1906, sew
eral miners at the place did not join
and a committee composed of George
w. Cole, Ganahl and a man named
Clifford was appointed to visit the
men and try to get them to join the
union.
During the argument between the
members Of the committee and the
two mine owners. Mr.. Cole and Elf
man became involved in a fight and
H~ennessy whipped out a gun and took
two shots at Cole, one of the bullets
clipping a section out of his hat band
and the second cutting through his
hand. Hennessy then opened fire on
Ganahl, inflicting fatal wounds, the
victim dying the following day.
The trial Of Hennessy IN the charge
of murder was bitterly constested and
the jury finally brought in a verdict
of five and a half years in the peni-
tertiary. Hennessy has served about
a year of his time and he now asks
for a new trial on the ground of error
in instructions to the jury and quail
ifications of Jurors.

ISOLATION continues throughout it's ex-
istence as at the banquet rendered
that organization last evening, the
men who suggested it's formation and
later carried out their ideas may well
be proud Of their work. Gallant, well
dressed men, escorting charming and
handsome women, thronged the large
dining room at the Arlington hotel
until there was no room left for the
last who came in, and another table
and more chairs were necessary.
After the guests had all been seated
and the orchestra had entertained the
throng with a selection, Sam Davis,
the oldest newspaper man in the state
and president of the old press asso-
citation, made a few remarks, resign
ing as president and introducing the
POSTMASTER Of the evening, Judge
Norcross. This was done with re
marks that put all in a good humor
and made the outside delegation feel
that they were not among strangers.
Judge Norcross Speaks.

mark of the jurist, who stated that at

ployed on the Nevada State Journal
IN the early days, but was unsuccess-
full and was discharged. He also had

lie knew how a square meal touched
the heart OF the average scribe and
stated that most journalist went hun
cry half the time.
Nate Rolf was cited as an instance
of the half starved, emaciated tribe
who followed the vocation in the state.
Sam Davis was, according to the
speaker, far rom being as corpulent
and portly at present as before he had
several terms in the state offices,
and he predicted that he would soon
be in that lean condition again.
From the facetious the speaker
turned his remarks to the more serious
strain and was lavish in his euiogy of
the newspaper calling. He said that
there was no duty higher and no voca-
ton nobler than the mission which
had for it's purpose the holding of
public opinion.

Country Steals Away from the
Orphanage

CARSON, New, Feb. 19.-With his
heart filled with longing for his old
home across the desert wastes Robert
Lynnville, a lad of thirteen years, ran
away from the state orphanage near
this city Sunday and started for
Tonopah. He arrived at M~oundhouse
late that evening, tired, hungry and
footsore and was taken in and housed
by James Regan, formerly of this
place, and returned to this place yes
terday.
The lad s. mother lives at onopah,
but she was unable to provide for
him, so had him sent to the state in
stitution for care. The boy arrived a
week ago and since spent much Of his
time talking. about and grieving for
his old home on the southern deserts,
He talked constantly OF his life there
and his longings to return. On Sunday
he disappeared, and when Superintend'
cnt Joseph investigated he found the
first trace of the lad at the Mound
house, where he stopped for the night,
Yesterday morning Superintendent
Joseph went for the lad, and when the
runaway saw him coming he strueh
out through the sagebrush at a rap
id gait and a two mile race followed.

lefts O'Briens holding of Burns glove prevented him using it in the clinches.
 In the second round the men wrestled in the center of the ring and both fell flat to the floor In the opening round OBrien showed apparent fright at his opponents rushes and ran from him at full speed.
 In the ninth round, Burns, weary of OBrien's constant retreating rushed after him and cornered him twice in diff ferent angles of the arena and inflicted severe punishment on him. The latter made no effort to fight, merely ducking and trying to get away. Each round was largely a repetition of the preceding one. Burns had the better of most of them whenever he was able to corner his man and get at him. The twelfth round was strongly in Burns favor. During this round Burns landed on OBrien's left eye with a terrific overland right, the blood streaming down Briens face. The latter called to his seconds about h1s injury and shook his head in vain. Again in the fifteen round Burns caught his man in the way and laid open the same eye, which had been patched up with court plaster. O Bren occasionally at tempted unfair tactics by holding Burns head under his arm and trying to use his elbow. The referee cautioned him and he quit it.
 The twentieth and final round was as tame as the others.
 Probably 5000 peorsons were in the pa- vilion The betting was all in OBrien favor. It started at 10 to and at the hour of commencement was down to 10 to 6l5 on O'Brlen. But few large bets were made Burns placed 5000 in his favor mostly at odds of 10 to :. Burns weighed in at 175 pounds and O'Bren was eight pounds lighter.
 Before the beginning of the fight, Ref cree Eyton declared all bets off under instructions from Manager Carr of the Pacific Athletic club. Eyton said he was unable to give the reasons for this ae-

Los Angeles. Cal. May S.-Tommy Burns of Los Angeles won the heavy weight championship of the world from "Philadelphia Jack OBrien before the Pacific Athletic club here tonight after the twenty rounds of fighting that was for the most part foot race. O'Brien ran away from Burns in the first round to the finish and only occasionally was the latter able to overtake him. Then OBren invariably clinehed with Burns and held on until the referee pIfzed them apart The crowd booted and jeered OBrien and hurled all sorts of raillery at him as he raced about the ring. But very few blows of any Vigor were landed by either man and neither suffered any apparent damage. Both of oBrien's eyes were damaged and his lips were cut open, but Burns had scarcely a scratch. Burns showed his disgust with the tac- tics of his opponent and called to him repeatedly to come on and fight. Burns would chase his man around the ring, OBrien running as if in terror of his antagonist. When Burns would oyertake him and beat him on the neck, o'Brien would duck and dodge. Then Burns would stand in the center of the ring with his hands to his side and wait for O'Brien to come to a halt. O'Bren landed few long range blows on Burns face and head in his racing, but they did no damage. The referee cautioned O'Brien about his holding on tactics, and finally told him he must stop him.
 Between two of the early rounds Referee Eyton went to O Briens corner and noti- fled him that he must stop clinging to Burns in the clinches and break at the word Of command. Burns had all of the better Of the in-fighting and laced his opponent terrifcally with short arm
