her preparing to retire for the night.
Repettos instructions from the brokers
were not to detain the woman if she re-

she readily consented to do and she took
them from a handbag on the seat beside

The method by which the woman OBJ

share of benefit from the Washington

BRYAN VISIT
ComnonerWiilbe Asked
to Make Speeches
in Nevada

The Reno Journal Of today has the
following regarding the proposed Wis
it Of VIM. J. Bryan to Nevada while
on his Pacific Coast itinery during the
campaign.
Dispatches received in Reno last
night indicate that the Democratic
candidate for President may visit this
coast this fall.
Governor Dickerson, Senator New
lands, Congressman Bartlett and ev-
cry other prominent democrat in the
state will unite in an invitation to
him to pass through Nevada and make
one or more speeches should he come
west.
The matter will be taken up in
earnest today and kilograms will be
sent to ascertain if possible what he
can do in the matter.
State Chairma nConsidine said last
night:
If Mr.. Bryan can be induced to v1s-
it the coast, we will make the strong
est effort possible to induce him to
make at least one speech, and more
if possible, in Nevada.
"a speech in Reno. one in Goldfield
and another in Tonopah by Bryan
would have a greater influence upon
the action of the voters in Nevada
than anv other human agency.
''I do not think there is state in
the Union wherein Mr.. Bryan is as
highlv regarded as IN Nevada, and
his speech would have great in
fluence on the voters. | sincerely
hope he can be induced to make a
stopeover in the Sagebrush.'

THAW WILL
BEFREE MAN
If Taken to PittSburg to
Testify in Bank
rupt Case

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE gener-
al impression prevails among the lead
ing lawyers Of this city to the effect
that if Harry K. Thaw is summoned
before the United States bankrupt
court, at PittsE Eurg that he will be
a free man from that time on.
Thaw, at his last trial, was acquit-
ted of the charge of murder for the
killing of White and was ordered con-
fined in the Mattewan asylum by the
court on the ground that he was un-
safe to remain at large. This order
aplies only to the State Of New York
and at any time he leaves the state
he ceases to be under the orders of
the courts jurisdiction and becomes
free man again, provided he re-
mains without the state.
Thaw has gone through bankruptcy
and many attorneys are of the opir-
ion that his action in this matter
shows conclusevily that his brain is
far from being a blank and that he
can take care Of himself. The play
to get Thaw to Pittsburg. if carried
out will mean his freedom.

Stunts

rampage yesterday and did consider
able damage before quieted.
The animal was tied to a scantling
in the barn back of the store and in
some manner got the rope between
its legs. 1t then became frightened
and started to run. The scantling
broke, the rope caught on the big
door of the stable and away went t&e
crazed animal with the door and the
scantling railing behinu. The team
of Arnold Mlllard was IN the street
outside and the frightened animal at
tempted to leap the wagon. AS a re-
suit Millard S wagon was badly smash
ed up. The horse then returned to
the yard where he played havoc with
the other animals severely injuring
one of them. The animal then made
a run for the back door of the store
but the opening was too small to ad-
nit of the barn door which was at
tached to him and he was captured.
A peculiar feature of the entire af-
fair was that the horse was in no wise
injured and is today employed as u.s.
