GROVETOR TRAGEDY.
RANGER DuNAWAY AND COUNTY

Fired From office Misunderstanding
Shotgun and a Winchester Rifle 1
Found in kenley's Office.

Groveton, Tex: Friday j. d. Duna-
way, State Ranger, and II. l., Robb,
eX-county attorney, were shot down
on the main streets of Groveton and
r. o. Henley, a prominent attorney
here, has made a statement as to the
shooting.
j. d. Dunaway is stationed at Trim
ity, where his family is living, and
came out Friday morning on the train,
arriving here about $3.50 a. m. All the
morning he was shaking hands with
his many friends here and was in the
best of spirits. Just after dinner Dun
away and Robb started from the post
office, which Is on the east side of the
street, for the court house, and had
proceeded about ten feet from H. j..
Mangum's store on the corner and
into the court house common when the
shooting began in rapid succession
from the office window of r. o. Ken
ley, with is in front of the second
story of the brick building, the second
from the corner next the court house
square.
Three men were seen by different
parties at the window in Kenley's of
flee during the shooting, but Mr.. Ken
ley says he alone is the man who did
the shooting. Immediately upon tho
shooting Robb fell in the street shot
in the head, the ball entering above
the left eye and ranging round COM
ing out above the left temple
Robb was at once taken into Collins
store and the wounds of both men
were dressed. 1t is not known by the
doctors whether the wounds will prove
fatal, it being necessary to probe. Dr.
James A. Hall believes that Robbs
wounds are not fatal and that he will
probably recover. Dunaway was taken
TO Trinity Friday to DIR. F. l.. Barnes
Ganitarium, where an operation will be
performed. He is hit six times, once
in the left shoulder, through the left
part of the chin, once in the abdomen,
once in the throat, and in both legs
below the knee. Robb is shot over
the left eye and in the left leg above
the knee. Dunaway's wounds are CON
sidered serious by physicians here.

Great Activity in Yerington District

cut 81 feet, which gave assays of 1914
per cent. copper and no wall was yet
encountered at the time left. This is
only an instance, proving the magnitude
of the possibilities, which are not fully
appreciated. l believe that within IS
months Yerington copper stock will be
the highest priced copper proposition in
the State.
ION the North Yerington there is a
600-foot lead which has copper showings
varying from foot to 40 feet in thick
ness and carrying assays from S to 80
per cent. in shipping ore. The proper
critics controlled by the Ish Bros. will
soon be organized into companies.
"This district extends to Buckskin,
where the Kennedy property has a 10
foot lead running II per cent. copper
and with values in gold high enough to
bring the ore to the valuation of 500
per ton. To the south is gold belt that
extends into California. Some very high
grade ore has been struck in this belt
and the whole district is of much more
importance as a producer of gold than is
generally thought.
MIR. Lancaster said that he inspected
the property of the Tonopah- Yerington
Copper Company, which has been or
ganized by the Bow1nan-Smith Company.
He says that the ground is we'll placed
and that there is no reason why it should
not make big producer. This company
owns five claims and is contemplating
purchasing four more. 1t is located
about three-quarters of mile from the
Douglas and other mines are all around.
The company has 12O0-foot ledge,
which, on the surface, is from 3 to feet
wide. and the assays of copper have run
from 3-5 to AZ per cent. The above
company expects to start active work
within several weeks.
Il regard the Yerington country"
continued Mr.. Lancaster, as one full of
not only in the various
mining industries but also from an agri-
cultural point of view, on account of the
fertility of the Walker River Valley, and
it will be but a short time until these
business opportunities will be taken adj
vantage Of
AT the present time the Southern Pa
cifc has a corps of surveyors at work
under Chief Engineer Gray surveying a
right of way from Wabuska to the Yo-
semitic Valley via Yerington, Yelling
ton, Low Pass and Topaz. Work on
the construction of this road will begin
within three months and it is hoped that
it will be completed in six months. Sur
veys for all electric road connecting all
the mines have been made and it is re-
ported that these lines will built within
three months. 1t is their intention to
derive power from the Walker River. :"

"The next big boom, one that will rival
the phenomenal one of Goldheld, will
occur at Yerington, was the statement

Mr.. Lancaster has been in every camp
from Alaska to the Isthmus and first Wis
tied Tonopah about four years ago. He
has been in and out of this camp since
that time.
Mr.. Lancaster says that all is hustle in
the northern camp now and that alfthe
properties are working, most of which
have been shipping high grade ore. All
of the properties have showings. II
consider Yerington, outside of Butte and
Bisbee, not excepting Ely, to be the big
gest copper field in America. The big
mining men of the country are already
in the district and there are repeated re-
ports that the Amalgamated Copper is
trying to secure foothold. DeLamar is
operating the Bluestone. George Gum,
who for SO long represented the Guggen-
helms, is operating what is known as the
Spragg mine. Snyder and Mccormick,
of Salt Lake are in heavy on the Mala-
chite. A Salt Lake corporation is also
behind the Douglas mine, which is con-
sidered one of the big ones of the district.
''The big Ludwig has shaft down
900 feet and they have monster ledge
which carries from 20 to 40 per copper.
Malachite and azurite have been shipped
from the Ludwig for the past two years,
and it is reported that the Tiffany jew
elry house of New York takes the entire
output, to be used in the manufacture of
jewelry, at the rate of 81 pound. This
company has but one claim, but it has

Whites Faust attracted a large Monday matinee audience to Cook opera house yesterday afternoon. and in the evening there was not q va cant seat in the theater. Scenica(ly, it is splendid production and the pathetic story it tells is one of which the public seems never to tire. Like a fairy tale of childhood days, Faust" fascinates and interests again and again. The presenting company is thoroughly capable. In the portrayal of the role Marguerite" by Miss Olga Verne. however, lies the chief artistic charm of the performance. Miss Verne's Marguerite is an exquisite
 y delicate yet forceful piece of work which gives promise of high future attainment. Her career may be watched with interest. MT. Freder-
 ck J. Wilson's rendition of Mephisto left nothing to be desired. In short, "he was great" The electrical eff fleets introduced are excellent.
