 But there came a time when the wis Its were not so frequent. Jones pincd, but his wife explained that she feared to gain the displeasure of the prison of ficlals. She felt that they were an noyed by her calls,
 One day after the visits had slack ened there came a civil officer to the prison with divorce summons for Jones.

w. X. Wise returned from Reno
Tuesday, having been in attendance
at the funeral of the late Governor
John Sparks. He says that the eu-
logy delivered by Judge N%orcross was
one OF the finest tributes that it has
ever been his privilege to listen TO.
The crowd In attendance was n ~
the greatest ever zen in Reno. Spe-
cial trains brought people from near-
by towns in every direction. Every
vehicle that could be secured was
brought into requisition and many
people traversed the entire route
from the Elks temple to the cemetery
or foot. The Eagles escorted the
Elks to the funeral, the latter hlving
charge of the funeral services. The
ltearse was drawn by four magnificent
coal-black horses, which was ioliow-
ed by the Governors favorite horse,
carrying an empty saddle with spur
red boots In the stirrups.
The tribute of the Tonopah ledge
Of Elks was one OF the most oean'i
fui floral pieces to be had. 4 was ~
the shape of a clock, eight feet high
composed of carnations, roses ant
white and purple flowers. Above tht
clock was "Tonopah Lodge 1862
made of purple flowers with

was composed Of white and purp''
flowers. The hands on the dial Of IN

Another Case q pynamltinp.

OAKLAND, May 2S.-Three dwell
ings built by James l.. Gallagher, for.
mer president Of the San Francisco
board of supervisors, and chief wit
ness for the prosecution in the San
Francisco graft cases, at the corner
of Perkins and Belmont streets, nortn
of Lake Merritt, were wrecked a
10:45 O'Clock tonight by dynamite.
The explosive was placed in the
kitchen of the finest of the three
places. In the front of the house
stood a shack, in which John Rollins,
a Waterman, hired by the contractor
to care for the dwellings, was sitting.
The dynamiter entered the house
in the rear from Belmont street, and
while only one bomb was placed, It
was charged heavily enough to throw
the corner house nearly off its foun-
dations in a crumbled ruin and to
wreck the other two beyond the sem
blance Of human ~habitation.
The explosive shook the n~eighbor-
hood, smashed windows of nearby
dwellings and played havoc with In
terror furnishings.
Hardly had the echoes of the de-
tonation that destroyed the SchencK
home in East Oakland, where Gala.
CHER and his wife lived, grown cold
when this fresh outrage occurred.
The explosion knocked Rollins
from his seat in the shack. He ran
across the street to the home or
Isabelle Fletcher, an actress, to tele-
phone. No one else was in the houses
when the explosion took place. I'm
mediately after the explosion and be-
fore Rollins had called the police,
Special Policeman C. Hitchcock. who
heard the defamation, sent in an
alarm. Policemen were sent to the
scene at once, and Captain of Deter.
tives Peterson took charge. He
, secured the neighborhood and every
suspicious character was taken into
custody.

search for Missing Teamstcr.

HORNSILvER. New. May Is
Fourteen days ago., Sam Saradori, an
Italian freighter and nrospector, lett
this camp on foot to hunt for his
horses. Up TO this time no trace Of
the missing man has been found, AMI
the supposition is that he met with
an accident and persisted. His part
ner. Tom Kuliacha, has secured the
country hereabouts, and today re-
turned to town utterly discouraged.
He may go to Rhyolite tomorrow AM
start a new search from that point.
Saradori has two lots in Hornsilvef
and intended opening a wood yard,
Four OF his horses strayed from hi n
two weeks CO., and he started after
them on foot, going in the direction
of Bonnie Claire. After a couple OF
days his friends grew anxious, n
several email searching parties tried
to track him, but without success.
The missing man is well acquainted
throughout the southern country and
is very familiar with all the roads,
paths, trails and water places, so tn
most plausible theory is that he met
with some accident OF the road and
was unable to make his Whereabouts
known. Should this accident have
happened to him ten. days ago the
chances are a thousand TO one that
he Is dead. He had been teaming
for tao months between this place
and Rhyolite. and spoke several laa.
guages.

NORTHERN GOLD CAMP STEAD

j. Watt Briggs, the hustling miEe
operator, is in from Manhattan and
says that the camp is picking up a
little. Quite a few visitors have been
to the camp within the past month,
and all seem highly pleased with
what they saw. Numerous leasers
are at work and are obtaining good
results. The Wolf mill is grinding
away steadily on ores from the
Briggs-Evans lease and is turning
out the bullion. They still have an
other months run on the dump. A
strike on the Holesworth and Mica
aels lease on the B%reyfogle property
caused quite a little excitement n
the camp. 1t was obtained in a cross
cut from the 200-foot level and shows
free gold. 1t Is the same character
of ore as that found on the Thanks
giving and is said to be a continue
ton OF the Thanksgiving ledge. The
~leasers on the Earl Mining COM
pany's property are apparently ge@-
ting good returns. They are all push
ing work rapidly and before long
some rich veins should be tapped.

ore from his lease OF the Mustang.

property. The vein on the LaIame

Company's ground, which is now

the values are said to reach $50 per

grade of milling ore on the south end
of Union No. 3, the north end of this
property being the place where
Messrs. Evans and Briggs took out

FOLLOWS THE
DEAD GOVERNOR


Slightly over twenty-seven hours
after Governor John Sparks passed
away at his home near Reno, his sec
rotary, William Riley Davis died at
his home in Carson City, and the ma
ture OF the complaint OF the two men
was to a considerable degree alike,
Death came to Mr.. Davis Saturday
morning a few minutes before the
noon hour, while Governor SparRs
died the previous day at $3.50 o'clock.
The Carson News has the following
account of the incidents surrounding
his death:
Mr.. Davis had been ill slightly over
a week, but from the second day OF
his illness little hope was entertain
ed for his recovery, owing to his aIe
and frail constitution. He died WITH
out the knowledge that his chief and
dearest friend, Governor Sparks, hal
crossed the bar before him.
Death came peacefully after days
of suffering, as the patient fell into
a sleep from which he never awaked-
ed, passing from life TO the great be-
yond without regaining conscious
ness. For the last several days OF his
life he was in a comatose condition
and when he reused from this condi-
ton he was unable to communicate
with those at his bedside owing 70
the fact that he could not artieu-
late.
The deceased was born in Indianl
in October, 1910, and came to Neva1l
when % years of age. He first en-
gagged in ranching business with his
brother, G. N. Davis, making a sue,
cess of that line. Later he was chief
clerk at the United States mint il
this city under Supt. Garrad. HI
was elected recorder of Lyon county
and held that position for four cot-
secutive terms. Later he was deputy
treasurer of State under Treasure
Westerield and in 1898 he became
the private secretary to Governor
Reinhold Sadler, holding that posi-.
ton during the remainder of tbs
term. When John Sparks was elect
ed Governor, he became secretary 6

southern Pacific Raises Embargo.

The Southern Pacific Company on
Wednesday raised the prepaid en-
barge placed several months ago on
all freight consigned to points on the
lTonopah and Goldield road. This
will be good news to our merchants
as we'll as all shippers. as they will
now be able to ship all their goods
to Tonopah, Goldfield and other
points on the Tonopah and Goldfeli
road without preparing the charges
or having the c%onsignees guarantee
the payment of the charges of the
goods, before they are shipped.
Several months ago, the companies
shipping goods over the line of the
Tonopah and Goldfield found II ns-
cessary to refuse to ship goods AMI
to place an embargo on all goods
consigned for points along the line Of
the Tonopah and G~oldfeld, on which
the freight charges had not been pre-
paid, as they claimed they could not
collect their freight charges if they
allowed them to be shipped on the
line of the Tonopah and Goldfield
without first receiving their freight
charges.
