Wife Beater is
Shot by His Son

GOLDFIELD, December 11.-Tom
Heating, the 14-year-old son of John
Heating, shot his father during Wed
nesday night with 22-calibre Win
chester in the defense of his mother.
ThI wound is not considered dan
gerous and the boy was not taken in
to custody.
Keating had been drinking and com
ing home got into an alteration with
his wife. He flung her to the floor
and was beating her.
The boy saw the alteration and
warned his father twice if he contin-
ued to abuse his mother he would
shoot him. Keating paid not atten-
tion to the threats of the lad. The
boy then fired, the bullet entering
keating's right side, emerging at the
back just below the shoulder blade

Renos Fight for
Improvement

RENO, December lit has devel-
oped that the city has no grounds,
according to the statutes of Nevada,
10 secure an Injunction against the
Reno Construction Company to stop
the work of tearing up South Virginia
Street. Il
The citizens owning property along
South Virginia Street are incensed at
the action Of the construction COM
psny, and will. if possible, have the
work stopped.
Attorney Levers, who represents
the residents on South Virginia Street
in their suit against the City of Reno,
declares that the construction COM
pany Is doing the work for spite, and
that the property owners will have a
good damage suit against the COM
pany. He declares that the construc-
ton company needs earth to build a
fill for the Second Street bridge and
that it is tearing up the street to Sc.
cure the earth.

months up to and after the shooting
plan. They have proclaimed by their
actions, louder than if the had
shouted it from the housetops, "Ruef
is guilty, everybody knows he is
guilty, but you'll have to prove it;
and we will use every device known
to the law to prevent you from doing
ter how conclusive the evidence, we
think that we can SO confuse the
court and prosecution that enough err
ror will slip into the record to get a
reversal of the Supreme Court"
And now they are preparing to
prove this theory, but whether they
do, the verdict of the jury now stands
that Abe Reuf, once convicted of
holding up French restaurant-keepers
has been convicted again, this time
of bribing a former Supervisor, John
J. Furey, with $4,000 (part OF the boo
die that passed from Calhoun to Tiery
l.. Ford, and which Ruef packed with
the rest of the Doodle in that famous
shirtbox), to betray stricken San Fran
cisco into the hands of the united vii
ainies.
Reuf found succor in the Supreme
Court in the extortlon case Wheth-
er he will find it in the trolley brib-
cry case in which has justbeen con-
victed is for time to tell.
Ruef has fought a hard fight agai-
nst a second conviction. He and his
answer for since the 9th day of Aug
ust, when the court began the selec-
ton of a jury. One of his tools,
Blake, has been found guilty of an at
tempt to bribe venireman to force
himself on the jury and to vote for
the acquittal of Reuf. One of the
now on trial for having commissioned
Blake to commit this crime, and an
other, A. s. Newburgh, is soon to
have his trial. Another of the tools
that it was sought to sneak onto the
jury in the second trial has gone to
his grave, after nearly succeeding in
his attempt to assassinate Francis J.
Heney, as the Claudianos brothers
did to blow James Gallagher and the
members of his family into eternity.

ABE RUEFIS FOUND
GUILTY OF BRIBERY
After Nineteen Hours Of DeIiber-
alton Jury Returns With
Unanimous Verdict

At little after four o'clock yester-
day afternoon the jury having under
discussion the guilt or innocence OF
Abraham Reuf returned a verdict OF
trial extending over a period of 105
days the "curly boss" has been de-
clared guilty once more and faces a
14-year sentence in the penitentiary.
Whether his power is so great that he
will fight off this Imprisonment for
months to come remains yet to be
seen but it is a known fact that every
thing that money and legal talent
can do will be done to keep from his
body the stripes of felon. The case
will be appealed to the Supreme
Court on the grounds that the shoot
of Heney which took place while the
jury was in an adjoining room and
which was witnessed by number of
these men, was detrimental to the
chances of the defendant who was
being prosecuted by Heney and who
was accused of being back of the at
tempt on the prosecutors life. Wheth
er this point will carry any weight
with the higher court is problamtical
The San Francisco Bulletin, the
one paper of the Bay City that has
stood for law and order, has the fol
lowing in to-day's issue regarding
the case and the verdict:
Abe Ruef has been found guilty of
another of the many crime committed
by him against the city of his birth.
The verdict of the jury is a triumph
of justice that can be defeated by no
human agency this side of the SUI
preme Court.
The attorneys for the guilty boss,
who did not dare put him on the
stand, who were unable to and did
not offer to refute one word of the
testimony of the graft prosecution,
who see for him no other lOophole
than that which chicanery can tear in
the meshes of the law, had no hope
for any other verdict. The case
against the prisoner was too conclu-
sive. The vigilance of the graft pro-
secution had prevented the fixing of
the jury; and the evidence of the
crime of Reuf was too patent for any
other result. From the moment the

WORK ON THE
BIG SMELTER
Will Soon be in the
Hands Of Engineer Of
the Company

A representative of this paper
called on Mr.. James A. Yerington,
who recently returned from a visit to
the Eastern States where he has been
consulting with capital in regards to
the erection of the smelter in the
Brunswick Canyon to the south Of
this city.
Mr.. Yerington stated that at the
present time the company would car
ry out the conservative policy in all
matters pertaining to the big enter
prise. He said that engineers would
soon be on the ground to make
garding the enterprise and these men
will be under the immediate charge
of the head engineer of the company,
Mr.. j. w. Boileau, who has been in
this city for the past several days.
Several weeks will be consumed
by these engineers" said President
Yerington of the company, 'but as
soon as the report, which will be very
thorough, has been completed, we will
then be in a position to announce to
the public what can be expected of
our company in the line of smelter.''
my trip through the East has been
very successful and at this time
can almost assure you that the prop
osition will be worked out to sue
cessful termination. Capital in the
East has taken great deal of inter-
est in the project and all final ar
rangements will be completed when
the report covering all conditions
in the State and particularly in this
section has been completed by the
engineers who will shortly arrive in
this city.
"The Investigations and report of
conditions will be very exhaustive
and will cover the character and kind
of ore to be found and handled,
freight and fuel rates and everything
in this line of investigation. Our
officers will be very busy from this
time on and the results of our work
will tell more to the pubic of what
we intend to do than I can at this
time"

GREAT PUMPS
VICTORIOUS
And Lower Levels Of
ComStock Lode
are Dry

For the first time in the history of
man the sump at the $500 level Of the
Ward shaft Is dry. The monster
Knowles-Blake pumps have conquer
ed In the fight against nature and
once more work on the deep levels
OF the Comstock mines can be resum-
ed. Ever since 1882, when the old
pumps then in use were unable to
handle the flow of water encountered
on the deep levels Of the workings Of
the famous lode, the ore bodies there
have lain idle and all the ingenuity
OF man failed to open those levels
to the miners until this last system
was installed, which has resulted in
success.
With the sump dry in the Ward
shaft work on the abandoned ore
bodies on this level can be resumed
and an additional depth Of 800 feet
can be sunk and the big pumps will
easily handle all the water that flows
into the workings. 1t was at this
depth that the ore bodies that made
millionaires out of many of the Com
stock operators were abandoned as
impossible OF being handled on &C
count OF the water and since that
time the old lode has been on the de-
cline. A year or so ago when water
had been reduced so that work could
be resumed at the 2250 level more
men have been sent into the earth
In the search for values and they
have been rewarded with several
good finds. Hundreds Of men have
been added to the working force on
the Comstock and at the present time
1t Is claimed that the pay roll there
will exceed $4,000 per month for the
miners alone.
When the announcement was made
that the pumps had made good the
claims made for them and that the
Ward shaft was dry there was q great
deal OF enthusiasm on the lode and
many believe that an era OF prosper
ity like unto the days Of Mackay.
Flood and O'Brien Is again at hand
and that the Comstock again will be
the center attraction from q mining
standpoint. Now that nature has
been conquered men will go into the
earth and search again for the metals
essential to this age and the people
OF this State and all who have read
OF the past giories Of theComstock
lode will wish them success and look
forward to return of the Golden Age
to Virginia City.

the prescription. 1t is doing so much

would be a crime not to do so. 1t
