PIUTES ARE
THREATENING
Miners at RaWhide Ac-
cording to Reno
Journal

The man who handles the sensa-
tional end of the Reno Journal har Is
out story this morning which -.
claims to have originated in an il
terview with two arrivals from The
camp of Rawhide, to the effect that
the Piute Indians of the Walker Riv-
err reservation propose to once more
raise their voices in the terrible la
dian war-cry of pioneer days unless
the miners and prospectors at Raw
hide hike forthwith to other parts.
According to the story the Indians
claim that they were defrau6ed out
of their land allotted to them by the
government and that was recently
thrown open to entry by President
Roosevelt.
The Indians, it Is claimed, have
informed the miners IN the new camp
to get out or there would be trouble
Of serious nature. AS result all
miners in Rawhide carry guns and it
is further fntimated that the Nevada
State Police will be called upon to
protect the people of the camp
against the bloodthirsty Piutes who
have threatened to once again 90 on
the war path.

Mr. Hickey left this city under a
stipulation entered into between dis
trict attorney Roberts and Mr.. Rick

Rickey was due to be in Sacramento
on Monday to prove up on some 5000

States Land Office at Sacramento
on that date.
In regard to the request of d.

probably be decided in San Francisco
today. Before leaving this city Mr..
Hickey wired to Mackenzie that he
would meet him III San Francisco to-
day provided the latter so desired
and that they would consider the mat
ter Mr.. Mackenzie is now in the
bay city and in all probability the

DEATH OF

Figured in Romance of
the Palmy Daye Of
ComStock

Robert F. PiXley, one of the most
famous OF the Comstock operators of
the old days, died at St. Joseph 5 Hos
ptal IN San Francisco yesterday.
PiNley was at one time, in theearly
20 5 telegraph operator, and an eX
ceptionally good one. lie had work
ed for some time III the Western Tn
ion Office at Virginia City and had
acquired a knowledge OF me ciphers
OF the different big miners in that
camp. He had some wealthy friends
them that he would soon be in posi-
tion to send them word of an import
ant development, and asked them if
they were prepared 10 buy on his
advise. The replied. telling him to go
ahead.
PiXley knew that I; ind had been
made, ana that the only thing that
remained was to learn its extent.
Then it would be a good Luy. Time

OF days.
PiXley betOOk himself to a lonely
station in the mountains and struck
up an acquaintance with the operator
He was man Of charming manners
when he desired to be and he won
the friendship of the lonely operator.
He did not reveal the fact that he
was an operator himself.
He had been at the mountain sta
ton about two weeks when one day
he heard the long loked for message
IN cipher going over the wires. The
operator of course did not know its
significance, and so when PiXley
handed him Il message a few seconds
later. wiring his friends in San Fran
cisco to buy, the operator so no con-
nection between the two messages. 1t
may have seemed odd to him that
Pixley should send such message
from such a place and at such .
time but that Of course was none
OF his business.
On this tip FiXley's friends bought
a lot of stock and they included
big block for him. AS result he
became the possessor of fortune in
a few weeks. After that he left the
operators key alone and devoted him
self to following the fortunes Of min
ing. His last visit to the Comstock
was during the big boom OF 1SS6-S7.

in the telegraph Office OF the V. and

here for many years.
