THE NEW NEVADA

"The Awakened Nevada" is the
title of an article by w. p. De Wolf
in the first number of Opportunities
Of Today" new monthly magazine
now appearing at the news stands.
"In Nevada the author says,
"every man is measured by the stand
ard of his deeds, and action is the
chief requisite to success.
"The aristocraey of Nevada is the
aristocraey of labor, writes Mr.. De
Wolf, ''and its doors stand Hospitality
open to the workers of the world
Pre-eminence comes alone to him who
tolls, and the leaders are those who
have prospered by individual effort
Each person moves upon the broad
plane of equality and manhood, and
solely upon himself depends success
or failure; the price for which the
labor is well worth while, for the win
ming includes that for which men
most strive-wealth and happiness.

HUSBAND TAKES CHILDREN
FROM WIFE AND GOES WEST

RENO, Oct. 9.-William Compton
left hurriedly for Sacramento few
nights ago accompanied by his two
sons and daughter, all quite young.
He left Mrs. Compton here TO shift
for herself.
Compton. it appears, objected
to company his wife had been keeping
and he decided to separate from her,
taking the children. Tearfully the
wife pleaded with him to relent, but
he was firm. The woman refused to
60 to Sacramento because she and the
children We're not properly clad, but
she demanded possession of her chill
dren. This was refused, the husband
boarding the train with them against
the protests of the woman, who
slipped each of them piece of coin
as she bade them farewell.
The children showed no desire to
remain with their mother, although
the latter became frantic over their
departure.

HINES CASE NEARS
THE END

GOLDFIE4D, Oct. 9.--The Hines
murder trial is expected to end this
evening, or to at least reach the jury
by that time.
The taking of testimony
was was completed yesterday ana the
arguments commenced last evening
and continued this forenoon.
The prosecution succeeded in intro
ducing testimony to prove that Count
Podhorsky was shot to death by Hines
while sitting at table. 1t had been
contended by the defense that the
count was standing when shot, and
the proof to the contrary, it is ex-
peeted, will have more or less influ.
enee in the rendering of the verdict
1t was shown that after the fatal
shot the body of the count slipped
from the ehsir and fell under the
table.
In the opinion of many who have
been attending the sessions of the
court Hines will be found guilty eitn
er of manslaughter or murder in the
second degree.

TN accordance with the suggestion
i made by the Silver State News,
backed up by the showing that such
action was necessary, the county com
missioners yesterday appointed two
night policemen for the town of Win
nemucca.
The men appointed are W. }.
Wrede and N. p. Moore.
The announcement of the two
lucky capdidates from the large num-
Der of applicants of those who desired
to wear the toga of the cop, cannot
be said to have struck like a thunder
bolt in clear sky, because police
talk has been most active on the
Winnemucca streets since the present
meeting of the commissioners. All
the prospective policemen had quit
work for the time being and were
busy on the streets electioneering for
the place Rumor had it early in the
game that j. +. Otis, formerly of
Paradise Valley, would be appointed
and his chances looked strong to the
casual observer. The final decision,
although reached last evening, was
not announced until this morning.
The salary is 1925 month for each.

jumped into the ring and said he just

bull was thrown and held down until
he got on and then everybody got
away and gave them room. 1t was

bull would get the rider off by some

to think Ansel would be out $25, but
all at once the rider went off over the
bulls head, turning summersault.
The bull then stopped, took good
look at the man he had thrown, and
then trotted away, while the young
man got up and stood looking at the
bull, wondering how it happened, until
the animal was led out.

just before the attempt at riding
this animal, which is known as the
Grizzly Bull, the manager announced
that $3.50 would be given to anyone
who would ride behind the saddle on
another bull, and the same Spaniard
thought that would be easy. Two men
gave him boost to help him on when
all was ready, but it appears that they
held to heis feet too long and he did
not get on to the bull s back.

HOW THEY BEAT SLOT GAME

The men who robbed the slot ma
chimes in Sparks during the last week
in July worked their criminal scheme
throughout this state and California,
according to information received
from Marysville, Cal, where these
thieves are under arrest for similar
work. The "system' for beating the
licensed gambling devices was for one
of the men to engage the bartender
in conversation by ordering several
mixed drinks. Then the remaining
two crooks would insert quarters in
the machines, using rapid drill to
bore hole through the side of the
machine one foot from the top. In
this hole steel bar would be insert
ed, hook being attached to the end,
which permitted the operator to stop
the dial on any number selected 1t
is estimated that $40 day was clean
ed up. Reno and Truckee suffered
from the work of the men, but the
bartenders always thought, with the
spectators, that the men were just
lucky. Information will be given the
police of Marysville to strengthen the
evidence against them

there is Joseph Lavoy, of the town

STRANGE CASE OF
A MINING MAN

The following appeared in the Los
Angeles News of Wednesday in ref
erence to well known Nevadan:
j. F. Enkhouse, prominent con
tracing teamster of Goldfeld, New,
presented one of the strangest spec
tacles ever witnessed in this county
when he was brought into the super
ior court this afternoon in a catalep
tic state to be examined by the iunacy
commission. His case was continued
for a week and Enkhouse was sent to
the county hospital. Enkhouse was
brought into the court room in a
wheeled chair. He stared right ahead
and did not seem to move a muscle or
take any interest in what was going
on around him. His friends testified
that Enkhouse had been a highly sue
cessful business man of Goldfeld. Up
to few days ago he had between
$4,000 and $4,000 in the bank. Sud
denly he began to act queer and ap
parently spent all Of his savings in a
few days. When his condition became
serious and his friends decided to
bring him to this city for treatment,
it was found that there was only a
balance of $3.50 left. 1t appears that
the afflicted man has mania that his
wife and friends are trying to poison
him. At the hospital he refused to
take medicine from either the doctors
or nurses. His cataleptic condition
did not manifest itself at once. A
few nights ago it took three men and
four women to put him to bed Soon
he began to lose the power of moving
his muscles and gradually sank into
the condition in which he appeared in
court today.

WESTERN PACIFIC
AN AIR Line

A. A. Hibbard, who returned to
Reno Tuesday from business trip to
Quincy, Cal, says the Reno Gazette,
says that the grading work on the
Western Pacific railroad is in sight
of the wagon road between Reno and
Quincy for miles, and makes the trip
very interesting one. He states
that there are 25 steam shovels in
operation between Reno and Quincy
and that the road is as near an air
line as the grade, which must not ex-
ceed / per cent, will allow.
In speaking of his trip, Mr.. Hib-
bard said:
"At Spring Garden a loop similar
to the Tehachapi loop is being con-
structed to take up the grade. At
this place the grade comes back at the
end of the loop 35 feet lower than il
began, being about. one mile long. A
mile above Spring Garden, on SPUR
rel creek, the west end of the long
tunnel is in about $500 Ieet and is
giving great trouble by the settling
character of the soil in the hill There
is talk of building temporary
switchback over the hill to use until
the tunnel can be finished. This tun-
mel is to connect the road across
from the middle fork of the Feather
river to Squirrel creek, which is a
branch, and thus leads the railroad to
the north fork of the Feather river
Although the Western Pacific expects
to have the trains running through
Nevada before 1909, the opinion pre-
walls that the immense work will take
longer time. The line is three and
one-half miles north of Quincy at its
nearest point, and the citizens OF
Quincy are arranging to build line
across American valley to connect
with it. The wisdom of the Western
Pacific in taking over the Boca and
Loyalton railroad is now seen in The
convenient manner it can deliver al
material needed without transferring
to the narrow gauge cars.

"Yes,' was the answer.
Why, there's enough for every
