Sam Davis, deputy constable at
McGill, aged about 25 years, lies
lowering between life and death with
a bad bullet wound in his abdomen,
while three Greeks, among them the
man who did the shooting, are sup
posed to be making for the hills. One
Greek lies with his face punctured
by gunshot wound inflicted by Yard
Foreman A. J. Smith, of the Nevada
Northern as the result of offering re-
sistance when about to be arrested
as a suspicious character. This is the
story of yesterday, perhaps the
most eventful period of like duration
in the history. of the smelter.
About o'clock yesterday after
noon, according to the report receiv-
ed here, Davis heard loud talking in
a bakery conducted by several Greeks
and went in to settle the trouble, and
il need be, place one or more of the
disputants under arrest. What trans
pired on the interior of the building
is not clear but it is supposed that
Davis placed the Greek who did the
shooting under arrest. Cuddenly the
immediate neighborhood was disturb
ed by the report of a revolver and
the Greek rushed from the building
and started across the plains toward
Hercules gap, still holding his wea-
pom exposed in his hand. A few mo-
ments later, it is stated he was join
ed ,sy several other Greeks, all
armed with rifles and the whole party,
putting up a determined front, start
ed for the mountains, where doubt
less they thought to find refuge.
In the meantime several persons
going into the bakery found Davis ly-
ing on the floor desperately wounded.

WAITING FOR THE
ATTORNEYS
BRIEFS
Will Delay the Decision in
Ely Railroad Case Pro-
bably Another Month.

Contrary to the opinion held by
most of the public, it is rot likely
that decision will be rendered by the
state railroad commission for a
month or more in the case oi the city
of Ely VS.. the Nevada Northern rail-
road.
This was the opinion expressed yes
terday by Attorney Chandler,
who is of the lawyers for the defense
iii the action. Mr.. Chandler said that
he did not believe the briefs of the
attorneys were yet in the hards. of
the commission and that 1t would be
probably some time before these
briefs were all in.
Several weeks ago the impression
was given out through Carson
sources that an early decision might
be looked for from the commission.
This report was based on statement
that the commissioners had gone
through the evidence taken in Ely
and later submitted them in type
written form and were ready to make
decision on the strength of the evil
dence, awaiting only the arrival OF
the briefs of the attorneys that these
Inight be given deserved considera-
tion. 1t was at that time expected
tha the briefs would be filed in day
or two. 1t now appears that theyl
have not yet been filed.
Granting that the briefs should aii
be in within the next few days, when
is not probable, there must be tlme|
allowance made for the study OF the
documents and the threshipg out OIL
the various points made. yhis can
not be done under a couple of weeks
at the least. while longer will propa-
bly, be required. 1t does not there
fore seem reasonable to expect oe-
termination of the contest before
some time late in next month II
then.

that 1t will concluded possibly this

This means that the great steel
construction and the wooden trestle
construction will both be concluded,
that wood and steel will be joined
and that 1t will be possible, next week
at the latest, to operate trains from
the mines direct to the eoncentrator.
At the concentrator the first unit
is all ready for work. Water is there.
and all other needs supplied, including
connection with the generating plant.
while the trestle work will be COM
pleted this week there will remain to
be completed some riveting and track

FRISCO'S
PROGRESS
HONOLULU BUSINESS MAN SUR
PRISED by THE RAPID RE-
BUILDING or THE CITY.

Eugene Campbell of the Waterhouse
Trust Company returned this morning
on the Alameda from a short vacation
trip to the Coast, where he has been
visiting his family. Campbell had
nothing but the best news about San
Francisco Il was very much sur
prised to see how the rebuilding of
the city was progressing" he said. 1T
seems to me that buildings are going
up over night Since my last visit the
improvement that has been made is
wonderful. Everybody whom / talked
with seemed to have great hopes for
the future. The money stringency has
cleared up a good deal throughout the
country, and confidence Is being re-
stored in such a measure that I'm
very short time the normal state of
affairs will exist again. The election
of Mayor Taylor in San Francisco has
made the city different already, and
the people of means who were not
willing to invest money before the
election have been very active since
November.
"Of course there Is always a lull in
business the year before presidential
election and to a certain extent the
usual state of affairs is existing all
over the country.
"The retail business houses did a
wonderful Christmas business, and no
one would realize that there had been
a panic only such a short time before.
San Francisco is going to be even bet
ter than she was before the fire after
the buildings are all finished, and un-
less some terrible disaster again over
takes her, she will be the greatest city
on the coast in a very few years. Some
say that in ten years the city will be
finished, but at the rate of building
now | think that she will be built up
again in five years.
Regarding the future Of the Ocean"
ic S. s. Co, heard that the three big
ships would probably be sold to the
Hawaiian Mahogany Company, and
that they would be converted into OIL
burners at once, but / am unable to
say if the news Is authentic or not.
also heard that in the event Of the
subsidy bill being passed by Congress,
the Spreckes' interests would build
Immediately several new modern
steamers and start again on the Aus
tralian run. The final disposition Of
| the company's affairs was to have been
settled by the bondholders on the first
Of the year, and it is almost certain
that the three ships will soon be seen

WANTS WRESTLER
TO COME HERE

Charley Chillingworth is cabling to
New York this afternoon, asking Hi
tachiyama, the champion japanese
wrestler, what purse he will require
to come here and wrestle with Mitsu-
ka, the champion of Hawaii. Hitachi-
yama is graduate Of the Commercial
High School Of Japan, and with two
others holds the championship of Jap
an. He is 6 feet 4 inches in his stock
ing feet, and weighs 200 pounds.
He has recently been at the White
House showing the President the art
of wrestling, and is about to start for
home, and the reason for the cable is
the fact that he may return home via
Europe, and the Japanese here are
anxious to have him come this way In

PACIFIC MAIL COMPANY IS NOW
STATED TO BE MAKING PRE-

1t is now announced that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company will install
wireless apparatus aboard the steam
ships Siberia. Korea, Manchuria, Mon
golia and China
The Occidental q Oriental Wireless
Company, which controls between forty
and fifty wireless stations on the Unit
ed States mainland is interested in
the installation of a station here and
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
and the Occidental & Oriental Wire
less Company are negotiating for the
establishment on this island of a sta
ton that will meet all up-to-date re-
quirements. The Matson Steam Navl-
cation Company is also in on the deal
and the Oceanic Steamship Company
has been approached with the sugges-
ton that the steamships Alameda and
Mariposa be equipped with the De
Forest system of wireless, the system
which seems to be the most popular
and which is proving by far the most
effective on the coast.
Matson led the opening dance in the
wireless advance down here and Mat
son is largely responsible for the i'm
petus now manifest He stated re-
Gently that he would follow up the in
stallation of wireless aboard the
steamships Lurline, Enterprise and
Hilonian with the installation of a
station here able to receive and send
long distance messages.
The Pacific Mail s. $. Company then
took the matter UP in San Francisco
