IS IN TROUBLE
At RAWH|DE
FREEDOM WITH KNIFE OCCA-
STONED THREAT OF LYNCHING
FORMER ELY MAN OF BAD
REPUTE-SECRET AWAY.

j. J. ('John''l Wall, reputed
knife man and dead beat, we'll known
in Ely, having left numerous debts
behind him at the time of his de-
parture from the district last spring,
has again come into prominence be-
cause of his proclivity to use cutlery
in the course of alterations. At
Rawhide last Thursday he entered a
saloon and drawing a razor slashed
Jack DALEY across the head and
throat. his victim nearly bleeding to
death. The following account of the
affair is given in the Rawhide Press
Times of Friday:
Thursday afternoon. man named
Wall entered the Northern saloon,
drew razor and slashed Jack Daley
across the head and throat The cut
on the face was the most serious, 1t
reaching from the eye clear to the
back of the head. seyering the ear,
and also a main artery The one on
the throat was not deep enough to
be bad Prompt surgical attendance
saved Daley from bleeding to death.
Wall was arrested and promptly
hustled off to Goldfield. as there
were fears of lynching. There seems
to have been some trouble between
the men previously. DALEY is said
to he a good citizen and inoffensive."
Wall left here last spring under
very shady circumstances, owing
many bills about town. He went to
New York to float mining COM
pany but is said to have indulged in
such shady work there that he was
jailed. but escaped punishment
through lack of evidence. He went
to Rawhide after getting back from
New York and has since been there.
While here, Wall, who never did
any work except as a booster for
games of chance and at other voca-
tions peculiar to the "tin horn"
gambler, was continuously in trou-
BILE. On several occasions he made
knife displays in fights and was con
| tinually seeking trouble Shortly
before leaving he drew a knife on
his landlady in an attempt to make
her allow him to take his trunk with,
out paying his board bill.
He is said by acquaintance who
! have known him for years to be ma
tive of Montana, where his family.
very respectable people, at present
reside He left that state upon COM
pulsion after cutting gambler and
policeman so severely that their
lives were endangered.
His record is a bad one and the
general hope expressed among his one
time friends(?) who he is alleged
to have defrauded, is that he will
get all that's coming to him.

Official Visit Of Lendon's Lord Mayor

Official Visit Of London's Lord Mayor
to the Law Courts.
A curious survival of medieval Gus

visit Of the lord mayor to the law
courts. In old times the sovereign
himself awaited at Westminster the
coming of the lord mayor in a chariot
Of state with sword bearer, mace hold

coachmen and footmen. The forms
have been changed, and the visit is
now paid to the high court, but the
spirit Of the act remains, for the lord
mayor opens his term in the Mansion
House with a ceremonial involving rec
ignition of the supreme authority of
the crown.
The instrument used for expressing
this traditional idea Is an old fash

tiers the high court with his retinue In
costume he solemnly lifts his cooked
hat three times from his head and sa-
lutes the lord chief justice and the
justices.
The judges always wear robes and
wigs when in court. For lord mayors
day they have also a fiat black cap,
which can be slipped over the top Of
the wig. The lord chief justice and his
associates return the lord mayors sa-
lutte gravely, but do not take Off their
black caps. If they were to de this,
they would place the crown on a level
of equality with the municipality.

then visits the judges in other courts
to invite them to the Guildhall BAN

procession is heard each Judge fumbles
in a drawer, pulls out little square
of black cloth and crowns his wig
with it. The lord mayor takes OF his
three cornered hat three times, and the
justice on the bench bows, but remains
covered.-New York Tribune.

CURES FOR LOVE.
saees and Writers With Widely Diff
fering Prescriptions.

fering Prescriptions.
Absence is one of the means of curing
love. Two thousand years ago Ovid
advised his readers who wished to
cure themselves of an unlucky attach
ment to fee the capital, to travel, hunt
or till the soil.
Love-" said Coleridge, sis a local
anguish. :. l am fifty miles away and
not half so miserable"
But other men have found that alb
sence increases love. La Rochefoucauld
probably hit upon the truth when he
said that absence destroys weak pas
sions, but increases strong ones. as the
wind extinguishes a candle, but blows
up fire." If the love is all fancy and
has little strength 1t may be cured b,
personal contact with the object. But
the safer plan perhaps is to keep out
of the way; hence travel is a good ex
pedient. Business perhaps is better
one. Ovid said, IF you desire to end
your love employ yourself and you will
conquer, for love fees business"
Still another expedient is reflection

A man in search of this view can find
1t everywhere. Addison said that
beauty soon grows familiar to the
lover, fades in his eye and pals upon
the sense" and Hazlitt that, though
familiarity may not breed contempt, it
takes the edge off admiration"
Goethe said, with most marriage it
does not take long for things to assume
a very piteous look" But none of these
men married happily Goldsmith said,
MANY of the English marry in order
to have one happy month in their
lives" and Cplley Cibber, "Oh, how
many torments lie in the small circle
of wedding ringw
But undoubtedly the best way to get
rid of one love is to have another
"All love may be expelled by love as
poisons are by other poisons," says
Dryden. Heine says: 1.-The most effec-
tive antidote to woman is woman. In
such case the medicine is often more
noxiom than the malady, but 1t is at
any rate change, and In disconso-
late love affair change In the inamo-
rata is unquestionably the best policy"
