Simplex started. That five miles lead
was eaten up by the Simplex by the
time the two cars had reached the
Salisbury wash, the Pope was pass
ed and the Simplex pulled into town
good six miles in the lead. The
run of some fifty miles was made in
less than two hours. Long before
Tonopah was reached the passengers
in the back seat of the car were
shouting for lower speed, as they
could not hold ON any longer" The
speed was not slackened, however,
and the Simplex people now believe
that they hold a desert record. The
drivers of the two cars, nor the pas
sengers, knew when they started out
Thursday morning that they were to
participate in one of the fastest auto
rides which has ever been taken over
the desert roads for that distance.

AN old miner
met DEATH BY
AN ACCIDENT

About a quarter to IL o'clock last
night, Edward Sullivan, a we'll
known miner, was accidentally killed
at the G. & G. shaft at Virginia City.
says the Enterprise. Mr.. Sullivan
had changed his clothing preparatory
to going on shift and, as the evening
was cool, he went into the boiler
room, where it was warm, and sat
down on timber above the end of
the boilers. 1t is supposed that he
dozed and lost his balance and fell
over backwards about ten feet into
the pit behind the boilers. Fellow
miners who were a short d distance
away heard him falling an rushed
to his assistance, but he on.y sasped
few times and died. His lie ~ was
taken to the mine office, and DR..
Sullivan was hurriedly summoned,
but the unfortunate man was beyond
all help.
An examination showed that he
had struck something in his descent.

being torn for five or six inches and
the skull badly crushed at the top OF
his head.

miners in this city and greatly es-

STATE UNIVERSITY
IS OUT OF funds

A dispatch from Reno saws that
the University of Nevada has been
unable to pay its bills for several
months, and tradesmen have begun
TO clamor for settlement of ac-
counts, which they claim are long
overdue The Regents meet every
four weeks and pass the bills with
out comment. Since no funds remain
in the treasury. excepting moneys to
pay the salaries of the professors and
the actual necessities of the institu-
ton, the treasurer does not invite the
presentation of the claims.
Although Nevadas public school
system is said to be backed by more
money than any other state in the
union, no means of providing great
resources for the university has ever
been devised. The legislature every
two years allows an appropriation.
which time after time has fallen
short of the University's needs. The
campus Improvements have aided in
the deficit this year.

A BAD WRECK
WEDNESDAY, near
WINNEMUCCA

What is regarded by railroad men
as the most disastrous freight wreck
in years occurred Tuesday night
few minutes after midnight just east
of Eglon, about twelve miles east of
Winnemucca. The derailment was
due to broken wheel on one of the
freight cars and sixteen cars of oil,
machinery, dressed poultry and other
freight are lying tangle mass of
wreckage along the tracks for some
distance.
There were no fatalities and only
one man, Brakeman L. A. Graves was
slightly injured, receiving small cut
over the right temple, which did not
interfere with his aiding in clearing
the track of the wreckage. All traf-
fic will be blocked for twelve hours.
Last nights eastbound passenger
trains, the Overland Limited and No.
4 are on this side of the wreck and
the west bound flyer and No. Of
this morning are on the other side,
thus tying up passenger traffic both
ways.
That none of the train crew was
killed or seriously injured in the
smashup is regarded as a miracle
and is probably due to the fact that
due care was used by the train crew
in handling the train. The train was
an extra west bound freight and was
moving along apparently in good or
der at the usual rate of speed, about
twenty miles an hour. Suddenly,
without warning, the cars began to
pile up and Engineer j. r. Watson
Immediately applied the air and
brought his train to a standstill as
soon as possible. An examination of
the cars after the wreck showed that
the axle on a coal car, three cars
from the engine, had broken. Six
ears of coal in steel cars were de-
rallied and ten other cars loaded with
oil, dressed poultry and machinery
were piled up. There was consider
able loss. One car of oil is a total
loss and several cars of machinery
were damaged.

A Fast Ride
Which WdSNOt

There was an interesting auto race
on the desert between Clifford and

some of the passengers of the two
cars which did the speeding are say
ing that never again will they ride
in an auto unless it is geared down
to ten miles an hour, and has
hobbies put on it at that.
The Simplex Auto people ran car
loaded with passengers over to Cliff
ford Thursday, making the trip in
about two hours, and in the after
noon before the machine was ready
to start back it was learned that the
big Mccormack Pope was going to
run over to Tonopah, also with a
load There was a little bantering as
to who would get to town first, and
finally the Pope started first, secur-
ing a lead of five miles before the
