They were first cast into the tanks
by the police, being made to share
accommodations with the drunks,
buns, chaing-gang crowd, and ordin-

ing thousands had assembled to
watch the incident. At first the

Creditors
Want Money

GOLDt'IELD, August 2S.-Credit-
ors OF the defunct Goldfield Bank and
Trust company, which failed in this
city in May, 1905, are anXiously await
ing a report from |. Hirshfield, the
receiver, as it is understood that
quite considerable sum of money is
on deposit in the State Bank and
Trust company to the credit of the
receiver.
Receiver Hrshfield was directed by
the district court some months ago to
make report, but he filed an affida-
Wit showing that he was incapacited
on account of illness, and since that
time no additional steps have been
taken in the matter.
The bank failed, it will be remem-
bered, for about $4,000, but subse-
quently about one-fourth of this
amount was paid in for the benefit of
the creditors by J. r. Boal, the cash
ier of the institution. J. B Young
who was at the head of the concern,
was tried on a criminal charge, grow
ing out of the failure, and was con.
victed. Later, however, he was
granted a new trial and acquitted.
The amount now applicable for the
second dividend to the creditors is
not known, as the bank, in accord
ance with the usual custom of bank
ing institutions, declines to make any
statement concerning the matter.

TANGIERS, August 2S.-A rumor

states that the Sultan was aSSaSsinat-

A column of the Sutan's troops has
been attacked by the rebels and twen-

impossible to learn the source of
these reports and at the present dis
turbed state of the country authentic
information is lacking but the rumor
as to the killing of the Sultan is

3oth Hit High Voltage
But with Cppo-
site Effects

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 2S.-W. f Ju-
lift, foreman of the White Rock No. 6
mine, was electrOcuted at 8 o'clock,
while at work in the engine room at
the mine. The unfortunate man was
working with his back within lew
inches of a row of fuses above the
transformer and accidently touched
one OF them with his shoulder. The
-ceive the entire voltage of $500 in
the neck and shoulders.
He cried to the engineer, John
Goudge, and the latter seeing his
awful position, without a thought OF
his own danger, rushed to HIM and
grabbing HIM by the arms, pulled him
away from the deadly fuses, and with
the assistance of the men placed him
in reclining position. He continued
to moan as if in pain and in ten min
utes he was dead.
The dead man leaves widow and
three little children in Park City.
Sixtv-six hundred volts of elec
tricity passed through the body OF
c. B. Mallon, a painter, and he lives
to tell how it happened. He was en-
gagged painting the buildings and gal
lows frame at the Mohawk Jumbo
lease and while working on the roo
of the transformer house, he graspet
a live wire with both hands. This
was done involuntarily, the painter
knowing that the wire was conveying
electricity at high voltage. BOtf
hands were so painfully burned tha
it will be weeks before he will DC
able to resume work.

DR.. NORTH OUT,
DEMOCRATS ACTIVE

Straws do not always tell the d.
rection of the wind. Where is the
man who can tell how many votes
will be polled for DR.. Sooy on Nov.
9Th? The question is justifiable only
after it becomes generally known
that DR.. North does not intend using
stickers on the official ballots. The
Mayor will not be a candidate In
November to succeed himself, and
this, too, in spite of the Hrgings OF
many friends, some OF whom are
county candidates.
Naturally, 1t is to the interest of
certain county candidates to have
DR.. North stand for reelection, there
by they would receive larger major
tiles, The announcement that DR..
North will not run is totally unauth-
orIzed and 1t comes as a surprise to
dozens of close friends who have
been ready TO back the Mayor in
more than one of the telling ways,
but the information has leaked a
little, and for the benefit OF the cam
paign The Press takes pleasure In
making the news public property.
Politics In Egg Harbor Township
is not rosy hued. The condition of
affairs is due to the inactivity and
disinterestedness OF the county lead
eEs who have not yet gotten busy
with the voters. 1t costs cold, hard
cash to get voters to the polls on
election day In the township, as there
are great distances between the
homes and the polling places, which
must be covered by convey ances, and
right here is where the Republicans
have been moving slowly-they have
forgotten that teams are needed and
that they cost money.

TROTnNG TRACK PROJECT

The project OF establishing a-trot-
ting track with suitable athletic
ground within the circle has not be-
come, dormant In the minds and
hearts OF the sport-loving persons OF
this place. More than month ago
q letter was addressed to DR.. s. G..
Tremaine, of Bridgeton, asking for
an outline OF the plan followed in
that place to get most successful
track In operation. DR.. Tremaine
has replied. The substance OF his ad-
vice La:
"Our method was by incorporating
q company under the name of tht
Bridgeton Driving Association. We
sold stock at par value, $40 share,
and no member had less nor more
than two shares, which put every
member on the same footing. The
plan is satisfactory. We also soil
cited donations from the business
men In the beginning.
81 would suggest that few Pleas
antyille gentlemen might invest a
few hundred dollars in buying the
necessary property, with mortgage,
and by giving few small races get
the people interested-they would
soon buy stock. Respectfully,
rs. G. TREMAINE.'
The idea OF local trotting track
is a good one, and there IL no room
to doubt the ultimate success OF
properly laid plan. In addition to
the track, an athletic field is sadly
needed, as all the young men oi
Pleasantyille can testify.
DR.. Tremaine is q man OF expert
ence. The success Of the BridgetoD
track IL due greatly to his work.
