MAIL CAR
is ROBBED
Man at HaZen Takes
Sack Of Mail and
Gets Away

HAZEN, Sept. 24.-One OF the most
daring robberies that has as yet been
attempted at HaZen was that OF Tues
day evening when an unknown man
suddenly seized pouch from mall
car door of train No. 2 and made his
way into the darkness.
The robbery was committed SO sud
denly and so boldly that few who
the deed were so asronished that the
robber was some distance away be-
fore they awakeded to the situation
and started in pursuit.
When it became fully realized that
the United States mail had been
robbed, the citizens turned out and
there was a general uproar OF ex-
element. So quickly was the daring
robbery committed that no description
whatever was obtained of the daring
robber. In the darkness that pre-
vailed he made his escape. AS soon
as train No. 2, east bound, pulled into
the station, he stepped up to the mail
car and as soon as the door was
opened to take on the mail he grab
bed the mail sack and dashed away
into the darkness, running from the
side of the train opposite the station.
The mail clerk himself was the first
to recover from the surprise of the
dare devil act and he made every et-
fort to capture the fleeing robber.
Selling his gun the mail clerk fired
three shots at the fleeing robber, but
owing to the darkness, it is believed
that the aim of the clerk was in
effective, as no indication that any
of the shots took effect was dis
covered nor was the robber long in
sight.
Train No. 2, from which the mail
sack was stolen, gets into Hazen at
11:07 o'clock at night, and this fact
was decided advantage to the rob-
Der.
Shortly after the theft a posse was
organized and a dragnet pursuit OF
the fugitive was instituted. His cap
ture, however, was not effected and
he made a successful get away.
How much the robber obtained by
the theft cannot be ascertained until
the mail contained in the stolen sack
can be checked up.

Flanagan Makes
Sensational
Confession

RENO, Sept. 24.-A sensation was
caused last night when it became
known that p. L. Flanagan has con-
fessed that he got T. F. Moran out of
the fight for District Attorney by Of
fering to put Moran on his personal
payroll at $3.50 a month and the
promise of federal position if he,
Flanagan is elected U. S. Senator.
Moran agreed and withdrew from
the fight after Flanagan told him that
such action would aid and assist his,
FIanigan's, candidacy.
Competent legal authority supports
the statement that the action confess
ed by Flanagan is again a crime
against the statutes Of Nevada. The
confession was made by Flanagan
to clear suspicion from Senator Jas.
T. Boyd, accused Of having taken the
action referred to.

THE WHILlGlG OF TIME

Our old and honorable citizen,
Chauncey Noteware, now passed his
eighties. and a member OF the Con-
stitutional Convention that incorpora-
ted the state of Nevada, in 1864, tells
a story that is worth preserving. AS
Mr.. Noteware tells 1t:
Captain Jim was an Indian chief
of the Washoe Indian tribe ranging
and foraging southerly from Carson as
far as Markleeville. About the year
1859 he met a white man on one OF
his preserves, who had killed a rab-
bit and a sage hen, In what is now
known as Wade Valley in Alpine
county, California, and he thus ad-
dressed the tenderfoot:
Where yon catch him.?
Pretty close here
"'All sagebrush here, my sage
brush; all sage hen here. my sage
hen; all labbittee here my labbittee !;
you gibbit to me quick
'The tenderfoot complied with the
modest request and delivered up his
sage hen and rabbit, and went home
to enjoy the menu of Mother Hub
bard's dog.
THE whirigig of time has brought
great changes since between the
white man and the red man."

The campaign to suppress gambling

On Friday evening in the large as

ports and further plan for the most

against him by the votes of forty one
representative Democrats out of a
total of fifty-nine. The Miner can

Anticipate
Fuel Shortage

RENO, Sept. ga fuel famine Is
in store for Nevada during the COM
ing winter months. This, in effect,
is a warning that is being sent out
along the lines of the Southern Pa
cific company in this state. Deal
ers and wholesalers are asked to lay
in suppy of coal and wood at this
time. Last winter nearly every town
and mining camp in Nevada suffered
because of the fuel shortage.
The railroad people anticipate a
shortage of cars as soon as the fall
business begins in earnest. Hence
the advice to get in coal and wood at
this time.

Property Of Meyers and
Stauts Will be Scene
Of Activity

Carson City will awake some morn :
ing to find herself in the throes OF
a mining excitement which will likely
rival In magnitude the rushes which
characterized the springing OF Tono-
pah, Goldfield and Rawhide into the
world of precious metal producers.
At the very doors of this city. scarce
a stones throw from the state capitol
lies section, which II it were To-
Gated In the southern section OF the
state, would be teeming with activ-
ity.
Some time since we called atten-
tion to discoveries made in what
Is known as the old Voltaire district.
The news of these finds created a
little furry that seems to have died
a borning. However, after several
weeks of lethargy, renewed interest
Is being taken in the section which
gives promise Of developing into pro-
portions of considerable Importance
to Carson and the surrounding coun-
try.
Within the next few days work will
start on the property Of Messrs. Mey-
ers and Stauts, which Is under lease
to q Mr. Thomas, who has given the
property thorough inspection. 1t
Is the intention of the lessee to drive
working shaft on the workings OF
Meyers and Stauts to depth suffi-
cient to ascertain the pemanency OF
the ore body which at surface gives
very encouraging assays. While the
country Is somewhat broken up at the
surface, the formation is such as to
insure faith in it's Strengthening up
with consistent development.
There Is every reason to believe
that one Of the really big things OF
the state will be the result Of the
work of Mr.. Thomas, who repre-
sents large capitalistic interests in
the city of Seattle.
Many Carson people are interested
In the locality and with the proper
amount of attention they should reap

Is CLAIMED
Bv Goodwin in His Suit
for Divorce From
Maxine Elliott

The sealed papers in the Goodwin
divorce case We're made public in
Reno yesterday by Mr.. Goodwin and
his attorneys and the grounds for di-
vorce are merely desertion. The
great actor claims that ne married
Maxine Elliott on March /, 1897, and
that they lived together as man and
wife until September 1, 1906. AT
that time his wife left him and has
refused to live with him ever since.
He has repeatedly asked her to re-
turn to him, according to the COM
plant filed yesterday, but this she
has refused to do and it is on these
grounds that he asks for a legal sep
aration. There is absolutely nothing
sensational in the papers in the case
gan was named as correspondent in
the case is groundless.
The papers in the case have been
sent for service on Maxine Elliott
and sdould arrive at her eastern home
on tomorrow when they will be served
The attorneys for Goodwin have no.
titled her by wire of his filing of the
papers in the case but no answer has
been received by them. 1t is not be-
lieved that she will contest the suit
in any way and that Goodwin will
have no trouble in getting his desired
freedom from the most talented ac-
tress on the American stage today.
