TEAM
IS ROUNDING
into SHAPE

The Rounsevell football team is
practicing every afternoon now, and
with the addition of several old play
ers rounding into shape. 1t is stated
that there will soon be one or more
games with Goldfield, as there are
about three football teams in that
town, all of which are getting chesty
as to their prowess. The local play
ers want to get games with them, and
although dates have not been set yet,
1t is certain that there will soon be
something doing in the pigskin line.
The local team will present lineup
averaging something ovcr $50
pounds, 1t is said, and the members
are especially anxious that al the
old football stars in this vicinity get
out and practice with them and give
them pointers as to playing the diff
ferent positions.

The BUTLER IS
MORE POPULAR
NOW Than EVER
TONOPAH PEOPLE SURPRISED
BY EXCELLENCE OF SHOW
LAST NIGHT.

The opening of the Butler theater
last night was certainly an event, and
at both performances standing room
was at premium. The affair might
well have been called a bald-headed
and married-men's reception. The
front row, from the rear, resembled
nothing SO much as a long row of
glorified and highly polished billiard
balls, and from the badness of the
front the evident lack of hirsute
growth lessened and lessened, in a
gradual graduation, to the back row,
where were verdant locks, surmount-
ing carefully ironed physiognomies,
immense bouttonieres, and a general
expression of II don't know why 1
love you, but I'd like a chance Of
course there was generous sprink-
ling of the fair sex, too, in the audi
ence. But bald, well-thatched, be-
whiskered or smooth shaven, mascu-
line or feminine, every one who at
tended the opening of the theater
was pleased. And most of them are
going to night. They want more of
it.
To go into detail as to the charm
of the chorus, the sweet singing of
inimicable Mildred Manning and the
delicious voice of Jean Hathaway,
the laughable stunts of L. G. Flour
noy, and the genuine comedy of Sim
Kerner, the semetic comedian, would
be to tell too much. The best that
you can do is to go tonight and see
for yourself and thus "get the habit
and keep on going. Manager Alphin
is certainly to be congratulated for
the excellence of the entertainment
he has arranged for the people of
Tonopah. 1t is sthe only show in

The Fight FANS
ENTERTAINED At
The PAVILION

OF the fights that ,Tonopah has
been up against, the climax of them
all was pulled off at the pavilion last
night. Two of the miners in the
Mizpah had grudge and decided to
settle it, in first class style and the
scrap last evening was the result. The
participants were Dan Mccarthy and
Louis Brown and what they don't
know about the manly art would fill
large sized volume. They evidently
know the way to rake in the hard
earned sheckels of their fellow min
ers and were not slow in taking ad-
vantage of it.
The fight was to go twenty rounds,
but after three rounds of smuggling
and missing, and an exhibition dance
on the part of Mccarthy, who would
two step away from the rushes of
Brown, the event was ended when
Brown sent his opponent to the mat
for the county. Both men were all in
from their exertions and would have
undoubtedly quit before the fight
started, but they were notified that
they would have to fight or take the
consequences, which might be more
serious than the fight, SO they fought,
or tried to fight.
The first preliminary was between
two eight-year-old lads and the
science they exhibited put the partici-
pants of the main event away in the
shade. George Odell AMI Jack Lies
ter fought in the second preliminary,
which resulted in Odell receiving the
decision.

MANY LEAVE FOR
INYO COUNTY FAIR.


There will be large number al
people go from Tonopah and Gold
field today and Monday to attend the
lnyo county fair, which will be held
at Bishop, California, this week.
Many mining and business men will
go along, and besides these, there
VIII be many who go merely for the
social features of the fair, and the
enjoyment they will derive from the
trip. The Inyo fair deserves the
patronage of the southern Nevada
people, as the interests of southern
Nevada and of the western California
county are closely allied.

of the writ of habeas corpus, before
the supreme court, might result in
bankrupting Nye county, unneces-
sarily, one would think that Mr.. Nc
Carran would forgo this opportunity,
in the interest of the taxpayers of
Nye county.
The taxpayers of San Francisco
were compelled to pay over 800, 600
to try Schmitz on an indictment
which was declared void by the SUI
preme court of California on the
grounds that said indictment did not
state a crime. This enormous ex-
pense to the taxpayers of San Fran
cisco could have been avoided had it
not been for the strenuous efforts of
the district attorney to prevent the
sufficiency of the indictment being
passed upon by the supreme court be-
fore the trial.
1T can readily be seen from the
Schmitz case that decisions of lower
courts can not be relied upon where
so much is at stake to the taxpayers,
as they are often prejudiced or
biased by public and political senti-
ment.
1T will cost Nye county over
100000 if t. B. Hickey is tried.
Then why go to such an enormous
expense to crafty the personal de-
sires and ambition of the district at
torney, when the entire proceedings
may be set aside by the supreme
court, sustaining the contention of
Mr.. Rickey's attorneys that the law
under which he was indicted is un-
constitutional and that the indict-
ment does not state facts sufficient to
constitute a crime?
In case the supreme court should
hold said act unconstitutional or said
Indictment insufficient, it will indeed
be fortunate for the taxpayers of
Nye county that the proceedings of
the lower court were stayed.
1T seems to be the general i'm
preston that Mr.. Hickey is avoiding
trial by numerous legal technicali-
ties. This is not true Mr.. Hickey is
standing on a constitutional right,
which is cherished by every Ameri-
can citizen. and the foundation of
American liberty.
Mr.. Hickey does not ask for any
thing but fair and impartial hear
ing, which certainly can not be de-
MED him by any fair minded Ameri-
IN citizen" B. Pittman.

stated that he was very reluctant
about making statement, as he
thought cases should be tried in the
courts and not in the newspapers.
He said, however, he thought he
could with due regard to propriety
and respect for the courts, make a
statement at this time, in order that
the citizens and taxpayers of Nye
county would not be misled and
prejudiced by the trial of T. b.

newspapers by the district attorney
of Nye county.
