Of a scheduled twenty-round contest,
the seconds of Young Erlenborn of

ring yesterday afternoon at the Ca

the little miner, Freddie Weeks of
Tonopah. A large crowd was in at

Manager Charles Miller pulled off the
event brought forth words of praise
from all in attendance, and had the
fight ended in the sixth round all

had received their moneys worth.
The preliminary was a six round
go between Billy Crecelius of Gold

and it was rafting good go from

Erlenborn was the first to enter

tress. Money was the least thing
that was needed; the food and sup
plies that the men of Tonopah
brought were the real necessities,
and the medical supplies were need
ed too. The men of Rawhide are self
reliant, and all they want is a little
time and little credit, and they will
be on top again.
The recital of what Tonopah did
for the camp brought tears to the
eyes of those who heard it. The men
of the committee told us how the
people got together in response to a
false alarm of fire turned in. The
news of the fire had been wired to
the Bonanza. and this was followed
by a later dispatch telling of the en-
tire destruction of the town. ]. S.
Daveler, the manager of the Boz
nanza, they told us, had called a
meeting together in the middle of
Brougher avenue, and in twenty
minutes there had been subscribed
$210O. Six hundred dollars were
added to this before night, and with
Key Pittman, J. Grant Crumley and
Geo. Thatcher in charge of affairs, a
special train pulled out at 1880 for
Nina. There were two box cars
ahead and eleven nat cars, each with
an automobile, filed with supplies
and members of the committee.
On those eleven fiat cars were
$55,OOO worth of machines, most of
them private cars, their owners be-
ing with them. 1t was noble
gathering, and they were all work
ing in a most noble cause, rushing
aid to suffering humanity. Tonopah
will ever hold a green spot in the
heart of Rawhide.
From Reno and Fallon also came
professions of automobiles over the
desert rushing aid to the suffers. A

sent from the Nat G. Goodwin COM

that was needed for anything that

Rawhide. In Fallon, with I. HI. Kent

thousand dollars we're raised in no

NINE SUSPECTS
UNDER ARREST.
AS RESULT OF EFFORTS TO
STAMP OUT ANARCHY IN
CHICAGO.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Aiding City and State Authorities
Agent OF Anarchistic Society
Was Distributing Rabid
Literature.

Chicago, March 3.-While city. state
and federal authorities put plans On
foot today to stamp out anarchy In
Chicago, the police department pur-
sued with a new yigor its search
through the haunts of radicals In the
Ghetto district for anarchists who
might have possible connection with
the attempted assassination of chief
of police Shippy yesterday.
The net results Of police activity
during the day and evening was the
rounding up of nine suspects The ar
rests included: Harry Goldstein, said
to an agent of the Edelstadt society,
an anarchistic organization, arrested
while distributing hand bills of a
rabid anarchistic nature; two other
whose names were with
held; Isadore Maron, who admitted
sufficient association with Chicago an
archists to warrant his being placed
in a cell; William II. Abrahamovitz
20 years old, Russian Jew, student
at the University of Chicago
Others under arrest were held more
because OF their affilation with anar
chistic societies than from any expec
tation of connecting them with the at
tempted assassination of Shippy.
