THE LARGEST SINGLE BET EVER
MADE IN THE STATE ON A ROU.
LETTE NUMBER AND The
HOUSE COMES THROUGH.

The largest single bet ever mada
on a roulette number in the State
was laid on No. II at o'clock this
morning at Reno. 1t won and the
house settled at once. Jim May, i
Reno sport was the man who made
the bet.
He had been playing all night at
faro and was out about twelve thou
sand dollars. He left the game re-
marking that he guessed he was a
failure at faro and would try the
roulette wheel awhile and get even.
He sauntered up to the wheel and
asked the dealer TO give the thing a
SPIN
He was accommodated, and while the
ball was dancing along the edge of
the wheel he pitched a thousand dol
lar bill on the table allowing it to
fall where it listed. There are thirty
eight separate squares on a roulette
lay out and he stood thirty seven
chances of loosing.

block and have an even chance, bu

TWO CONv|CIS ESCAPE
They Get Out Through the CarIess-
ness Of a Guard.

Last evening James Mitchell and
George Wines, two convicts escaped
from the state prison and at last .ac-
counts have not been captured. They
were sent to help the cooks and wait
ers after the evening meal, but in
some manner gained access to the
yard and walked out the gate to lib
erty. Their absence was noted about
five minutes after the escape and the
alarm sounded. A search of the i'm
mediate vicinity was made but with
out success, and guards were then STA
toned on all roads leading out Of
the city. Other guards began a
search through the sagebrush, and it
is certain that the men will be re-
turned to the prison. Then men were
sent from Humboldt county last
March. The guard whose careless
ness allowed the men to escape was
discharged

THE UNIVERSITY APPROPR|A.
ton BILL
It Should be Liberal and the Ormsby
Delegation Should Help 1t.

The statement on the part of the
Reno Journal that the Ormsby dele
CATION Will tight the University ap-
preparation has no foundation. The
Goverors mansion bill has been pass
ed and, while the people OF OrmSby
felt somewhat annoyed that anyone
should fight the measure, the fight is
over now and Ormsby county would
not be doing herself justice to curtail
the university money. There has been
a scheme on foot some time to move
the university at Reno to this city
where it properly belongs, but the do
nation of Clarence Mackay Of a build
ing and a statue to the University al
Reno went long way toward anchor
ing the institution there.
The Appeal believes that sucn a
bill would not have received much Cp-
position in the present Legislature
but now that the university is to re-
main where it is there should be 10
disposition to hamper it aid the
Ormsby county delegation will be
the first to insist that the institution
be given a good appropriation. All
institutions run by the State should
be run on a liberal scale.
The state is growing rapidly and
members of the legislature should
bear in mind that the state is no long
er poor and is growing at such rate
that liberal appropriations will not re
felt by the taxpayers as they might
have been ten or fifteen years ago.

Halifax. June 15.-The government cruiser
Canada to-day seized the American fishing
schooner Fannie E. Prescott, the charge of
Prescott 10 Halifax.
The Canada has been cruising along the coast
ever since the Massachusetts rnackerel seininS
fleet arrived here, guarding against infractions
of the rules forbidding foreign vessels to fish in
side the three-mie limit. Yesterday one of the
American fishing vessels came close to the limit
and the cruiser went alongside and warned the
captain of the fisherman not to go nearer. To-
day il is alleged that the Canada discovered the
Fannie F. Prescott inside the limit, off Chester.
about forty miles from Halifax. whereupOn the
American vessel promptly seized by the
cruiser This is the first seizure of a foreign
fishing vessel in this neighbOrhood for long
time
The Prescott, which is owned in Boston, is a
crew OF about twenty men. Her captain
declared that he had not violated the law. He
intended to communicate at once with the own
ers of the vessel in Boston
one of the members of the crew of the Pres
colt said that the vessel, with ten other seiners
was lying near Shutin Island at the time Of
the seizure and that the men were not fishing
or intending to fish there. The only boat out
he said was the seine boat. and the seine was
folded snugly board. There were mackereI
on deck and il is asserted that they were being
cleaned when the Canada came alongside anu
took possession of the schooner.
