sQUEALING PIGS ARE HEARD
FOR SEVERAL MILES
Two Cars are Tipped Over and Not a
ingle Porker is Injured in
the Crash.

There was enough squealing in the
vicinity of Hazen Saturday morning
to induce the people there that all the
hogs in Nevada were being individual
ly put to death by slow torture.
The explanation lay in the fact that
two ears loaded with hogs west bound
tipped over on one side while a mix
ed train of freight was rounding a
curve, throwing the porkers in con.
fused mass outside of the right of
way.
The freight train was proceeding be-
low the average rate of speed and the
ears were not broken and net hog
escaped.
Arrangements were quickly made by
Conductor Burbane to transfer the ami
mails to two other ears, and it was then
found that not single pig had es-
capped nor even hurt. Some suffered
from hoarseness owing to the long and
loud squealing they had INDUCED in
but otherwise they were all safe.

4 BURGLAR VISITS
Meth & EVANS

Another burglary was added to the
Sunday night depredations of the last
few weeks when the Railroad Meat
market owned by Meth and Evans was
entered bv party bent on burglary.
VIM. Cavanaugh, an employe of the
market found on arriving at the place
this morning that the cash register had
been tampered with during the night,
and $500 in change had been taken
by the parties who entered during the
night. On investigating the mode Of
entrance, it was plainly seen that the
burglar had not entered the front
door, and it was found that the rear
door, leading from the back yard to
the shop had been forced with jim
my. 1t is believed that whoever com
mitted the crime had been frightened
away as the safe had not been tam
pered with
The refrigerator in the back of the
shop has on two other occasions been
broken into, and those interested, be-
lieve the attempt to rob the store last
night was made by the same parties.
Later il was found that the Office
of w. J. Merchant next door had
been entered as well as the butcher
shop, but nothing had been taken from
that place.

Nine COUNTS FOR
VIOLATION OF
THE Law

Suit was filed in the United States
court at Carson Saturday afternoon by
District Attorney Platt against the
Southern Pacific railroad for alleged
violation of the safety appliance laws.
The complaints were based upon evil
dence accumulated by the interstate
commerce commission, which has had
employees throughout the coast states
for several months gathering data of
violations Of the federal laws by the
railroads.
1t is said that there are nine counts
each count setting forth specific
allegation of an offense committed,
and demanding the sum of 800 in
each one. During the past six months
the government has been very relent-
less in its prosecution of the railroads,
and Nevada has come in for her share.

On Connors and Riley
Fake Story of Faro Dealer Killing
A Miner in Elite Gambling House
Published

A story eminating from the Battle
Mountain Herald has been published in
several state papers, regarding a shoot
ing scrape in the Elite saloon in Win
nemucca, in which a miner named Ri
ley is instantly killed by faro deal
er.
The Herald under date of February
Is. publishes the following:
A man named Riley, miner, was
killed this morning in Winnemucca
by faro dealer by the name of Con-
nors. The man was gambling at a
faro table in Elite saloon and lost
about $210, and when he was all in he
asked the dealer to let him have $40
On being refused, it is said, he at
tempted to reach for the money on the
table, and as he did so, Connors shot
him through the heart, killing him in
stantly. The lookout kicked Connors
in the face and he was otherwise bad
ly used up by the crowd before the
officers arrived. and succeeded ir
landing him behind the bars. The
murdered man was under the influence
of liquor at the time he was killed
Feeling ID at high tension, and it is
not improbable that If the officers Of
the law had not arrived in time the
murderer would have been lynched.
Where the Herald could have gotten
this information is mystery, for it
is absolutely false.

HARTMAN OWNER
OF WELLS-FARGO
COMPANY

Possessing all the earmarks of re-
liability and reasonableness a story
is now being told which is sort of
revival of those told in the past regard
ing railroad express affairs in the
west. The story has to do with the
Gould railroad lines and the Globe and
Wells Fargo express companies. 1t is
this: The Wells Fargo express com
pany is considered Hartman Is, as he
has control of it. This fact is known
to the Goulds, of course. and inasmuch
as the Wells-Fargo is operating over
a number of the Gould roads, includ-
ing the A.io Grande Western. But the
contract between the r. G. w. and the
Hartman Express company expires in
June, and from Denver comes the re-
port that no new contract will be sign
ed. but that the Globe. a Gould con
eern, with headquarters in Denver. will
control the express business over the
Gould lines.
The report is also out that the West
ern Pacific will take the Globe when
that road completed and ready to
carry on business between Salt Lake
and San Francisco. and as the Globe
now handles the Rio Grande's business
between Denver and Grand Junction,
the Wells Fargo will have been remov-
ed from a line extending from Denver
to San Francisco. But that will not be
all by any means Before the Goulds
get through they will have the Globe
operating over 10000 miles of their
own railroad. and bv so doing will
have stretch covered by these two
great forces extending from one edge
of the country to the other.
As has been shown it will be a
very easy matter, and will be the step
IN the near future, to put on the Globe
between Denver and San Francisco.
East Of Denver the GROUND will be
covered in good time AS soon as
the contract between the Missouri Pa
ficic and the Wells Fargo company ex-
pires. that road will cooperate with
the Globe as far east as st. Louis, Mo
from Pueblo. The Wabash will handle
pittsburg and the Western Maryland
~ connection with the Wheeling and
7 AXE Erie will carry it into Baltimore.
The Texas & Pacific. the st. Louis &
Southwestern. st. Louis & Iron Noun
tain and other Gould roads piercing the
south. will carry the Globe down to the
Gulf.
The first of this year saw the Pa
cifc express company superseded by
the Wells Fargo on the Salt Lake road.
These changes and moves are the fore
runners Of mighty battle between the
Gould and Hartman rorces for the
supremacy in the west

port that all shopmen, enginemen, con-
ductors and brakemen on the Denver
and Rio Grande system are likely %
go on a strike which may spread to
all the Gould lines, says the Utah State
Journal causing one of the
most serious labor struggles in the his

suit of the posting of circular here

company will terminate it's contract
with the sho~men. On March 1st, it is
reported, it will abrogate its agreement
with the trainmen and enginemen.
C. H. Schlacks, vice-president; A. c..

high officials of the Rio Grande are
here today en- route to Salt Lake. Dur
ing their stay a circular was issued as
follows:
effective March IA. the rules and
regulations for the government for en-
chinists, boilermakers and black
smiths, with their apprentices and help
ers, will be abolished.

B. and C D.'
IOnlgnl all OF the local unions
met They decided 10 send committees
to Denver to work for new contracts.
If their efforts fail walkout will
probably be called.
The shopmen declare the company
has been preparing to break its con-
tract for year and is taking advant-
age Of the financial depression and
consequent retrenchment to establish
"open shop on the system. They
claim the abrokation of the contract,
if permitted, means the death of the
union, and bitter fight is promised.

ing the past month more than $50 men

OCCURS NEAR ELKO

Leonard Kelley a hod carrier, EN-
ployed at Elko. met strange death by
drownding near that town the other
day Leonard, in company with A. O.
Hogue and Tom Wilson went to the
the hot waite pools near the Hot
Springs bridge, in the forenoon to wash
their clothes.
Kelley and Wilson had washed theirs
and had went out to hang them on the
sage brush to dry, leaving Leonard
sitting on the ledge of rocks that divi-
des the two pools. He had taken if
his clothes and had laid them on the
rocks. When Hogue and Kelley re-
turned from hanging out their clothes,
Leonard was missing but his clothes
lay on the rocks just as when they had
left him. They did not hear Kelley
scream, and they cannot account for
his absence exception the theory that
he fell from the rocks into the pool
and was drowned. The accident oc-
Cured about teno 'clock and Hogue and
Wilson came Immediately to town to
notify the authorities. Sheriff Clark
and party went to the scene and a
search was instituted or the body Of

There will probably be legal proceed ings to determine who is the owner of the land.
