to the reporters who had hurried to
the scene:
THE situation is just what | have
been looking for all during the trial. A
man who should be incarcerated in an
insane asylum should not be on trial
for his life" 81
That Jerome has all along believed
that Thaw was insane when he shot
White. and is insane at the presen
time he made perfectly plain in the
course Of an impassioned address to
the court. The law defines the kind
of insanity a man mag urge as an ex-

wrong The prosecutions experts hold
that a man may be insane from med

the provisions Of this statute are con

ton that they testified. They believe
Thaw was medically insane when the
shooting occurred, bat that he knew
what he was doing and that it was
wrong.

This ore resembles the famous

This is what Mr.. Mullen has been
expecting to find and has done a
great deal of work i'm searching for

question has also been quite a seri-
Gus problem at camp, and while dig

a fine grade OF pumice stone at a

Buster is a cross between cocker

proud owner of Buster Brown"

hundred yards distant. He returned
after a short time tired out.

the bartender, as he poured out a
glass of beer and placed it on the
floor. The dog had developed quite
thirst and soon had drunk the

A PROPOSED SCHEME FOR
PREVENTING FUEL FAMINE

TONOPAH, July 18.-There is n
possibility of the Mono Lake and To-
nopah railroad being completed be-
would mean much to Southern Ne
vada AS is known, Charles p. Knox.
president of the Montana-Tonopah
Mining company, is one of the lead
ing spirits in this railroad enterprise.
and Mark l.. Kerr, consulting engi-
neers of the mine, who arrived here
last week, is also consulting engineer
of the railroad.
Mr.. Kerr came here from BOdie,
where he met and conferred with
Mr.. Knox on the progress of the rail-
road and one of the best reasons in
the world for the haste is that it
would enable them to bring wood
and lumber in here in the winter and
thus solve the fuel problem.
1t rests with the Southern Pacific
as to whether this can be done. Har-
riman's line has in contemplation a
road through Whisky Flat, which
would give Bodie direct connection
with Tonopah. This portion of the
Southern Pacific, if the work were
pushed at once, would be brought to
point opposite Warm Springs.
where the Mono Lake and Tonopah
line is to connect with 1t, inside of
sixty days. The grading of the line
ten or twelve miles could be easily
accomplished by the Mono Lake COM
pany in the time specified, and the
matter of ties and rails would cause
no. delay The ties could be taken
from the sawmill of the company.
and the rails would be ready as soon
as they are needed.
Mr.. Kerr says that the work of the
Mono Lake and Tonopah company
can be done, without doubt, If the
Southern Pacific gets busy with It's
road.

SALOON HELD UP FOR
TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Nevada Forum.

Nevada fOTuIil
SPARKS. New. July 1.-two
masked robbers entered the North
ern saloon in this city this morning
shortly after | O'Clock and ut the
point of pistol compelled the bar
keeper, Morris Nielsen. to give them
the contents of the cash register and
safe, amounting to about twelve
hundred dollars. The men entered
the front door just as Nielsen was
getting ready to close up for the
night and ordered him to throw up
his hands, open the safe and give
them the coin. This done they de-
parted through the back entrance
enioining Nielsen to remain quiet
and not attempt to go out the front
door as they had an accOmplice there
who would shoot him.
There is no clue to the identity OF
the robbers. Nielsen states that one
was very short man with red hair
cut close to his scalp. This man had
two pistols and was attired In long
buster which extended below his
knees. The other robber was tall
man dressed in black clothes. Both
men wore black masks.
Nielsen states that he believes he
could identify the small man on ac-
count of the peculiar shade of his
hair. 1t Is thought the men are the
same who entered Lahr's saloon in
{ city. last Wednesday night and
who robbed Jack Varra's road house
last week.
Sheriff errel, Constable Malay and
Officers Wees and Arthur are work
ing on the case and it is probable
that they may be able to locate the
men before they leave the country.

GOLDFIELD PROSPECTORS
MAKE GREAT STRIKE.

What promises to be one of the
sensational strikes of the season Is
the one made by ]. l.. Workman and
Lew Davis, two Goldfield prospectors,
at Buckskin mountain, in the New
,ioldfield district. They have uncov-
cred four-foot ledge that is eX-
tremely rich in silver. Mr.. Workman
arrived in Winnemucca from the
camp few days ago and brought
with him large lot of samples
Is rich in chloride and horn silver.
Some of the pieces ar covered with
flakes of horn silver as large as ones
finger nail and can be rolled like tin
foil.
Assays of number of samples of
ore from the strike gave the follow
ing extraordinary returns:
No. Gold, $22; silver, $945.81.
No. 2 Gold, 5000; silver,
$i0S.77.
No. 3-Gold, SIS; silver, $229.71.
No. 4 - Gold. $3.50; silver,
$239.56.
The latter assay was from picked
specimen, but was from an average
sample of the main ledge, taken
across the width of fifteen inches.
Added importance is given this
strike from the fact that some twenty
years ago a large lot of float was
picked up in the vicinity of the find
that Messrs. Workman and Davis
have made. The ore picked up was
so rich in horn silver that it was
sacked and hauled to a mill, netting
the owners handsome profit.
Messrs. Workman and Davis have
also discovered a large deposit of an
