WILL
Be INSTALLED

To install officers elected at their
last meeting the Ely fire department
will gather at the stock exchange
Tuesday night. Other matters of i'm
portance to the body will be dis
cussed and acted upon. The two
chief officers who will take their
places will be G. L. Rowe, chief; Art
Knecht, assistant chief.
Among matters to be discussed will
be the arrangements for the New
Years dance to be given by the de-
partment. The committee appoint
ed for the purpose of getting arrange
ments perfected are working faith
fully and the occasion promises to
be one which will fittingly greet the
new year.
While the new chief has many
plans for the betterment of his de-
partment, he is unwilling to be quot
ed on the subject. Two of'teh mat
ters he will push most strongly, how
ever, will be, it is understood, the
erection of a suitable fire house to
shelter the apparatus, and regular
system of fire alarm signals.
Following the meeting OF the de-
partment the board of control wiz
hold a short session. Having in its
power the appointment of a secretary
and treasurer to act for the depart
ment and for the board of control, it
is now considering the matter of this
appointment.
1t is understood that the firemen

was elected from company 3, and AS
sistant Chief Knecht was elected from

1t is understood that all of the
members of company l and a major
ity of those of company 3 favor the
selection for this office from COM
pany 2.
John Verbright of company is
being talked of among the firemen
for this office, and company l is said
to be unanimously in favor of his APP
pointment.
The department is expecting daily
the arrival of the 1900 feet of hose,
recently ordered, which will place the
control of the local situation prac-
tically in their hands and render them
able to cope with any fire which may
start

Editor Buck Stays Bur-
ton, Bank.Wrecker and
Shady Promoter.
TRAGEDY ON STREET
Resulted From Editors Comments
on Running Of Burton Out Of
Rawhide..Got DropwithShoteun

TONOPAH, Dec. 1y.-Francis l..
Burton, notorious bank wreckcr,
bunk0 man and wildcat promoter, ran
his last bluff i'm Nina at noon today
and was called by J. Holman Buck,
editor of the Rawhidc Rustlcr and
several other southern Nevada pub
Iications. Burton had threatened to
kill Buck Oh sight, and today the men
met i'm front of the Palace hotel and
Buck was quicker on the trigger than
the man who had thrctened to take
his life.
Buck put II load of bucEshOt
through his head, killing him in-
stantIy, and narrowly escaping kill
ing Will Edwards, with whom Bur-
ton was talking at the time.
Burton was recently run out of the
new camp of Rawhide, and Buck paid
his respects to him in the Rustler; he
also stated i'll the paper that he
should be run out of Nina, where
Burton had been making his head
quarters. Burton had made a threat
that he would kill the editor on sight.
Buck got back to Nina this morning
and was told of Burton's threats. He
Immediately armed himself with a
shotgun and went in quest of his man.
Turning a corner Buck came upon
Burton standing in front of the Pal
ace hotel talking to WIFI Edwards,
and getting bead on him told him
to throw up his hands, at the same
time shouting to Edwards to get
away Edwards moved aside as fast
as he could and Burton drew a gun.
Buck fired and almost the entire
charge of buckshot entered Burton S
head, tearing it almost from his
shoulders. Buck Immediately gave
himself up and will be held until the
inquest, which will take place tomor-
row.
Burton came to southern Nevada in
the early part of 1905. In the early
DAYS of GoIdfield he established the
Goldfeld Bank & Trust company, and
then proceeded to wreck it, which he
most successfully accomplished. 1t
was simply a case of smooth thievely.

WRECKERS

San Francisco Failure Result o
Most FIaerant WOrk...Bank
Commission Scored.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Gov-
ernOr Gillctt bIames former bank
commissioners for the wrccking of
the California safe deposit and trust
company and says that even a child
should have known of the reckless
methods of its officials after 10 min
utes' questioning.
Superior Judge Dunno has refused
to accept the $2O0,OOO bond provided
for j. Dalzell Brown by the Aetna
company, and Brown remains in Jail.
Judge Dunno bases his action upon
the fact that this company had acted
as surety for Schmitz and Ruef.
Investigation of the affairs of the
wrecked company reveals the most
''frenZied financiering'
ever recorded. Funds placed by de-
positors were distributed as loans
PmOng officials and friends as fast
as received and the bank closed only
when its treasury was about eX-
hauStcd.
