ing issued to the needy.
During last night Goldfield and Tono-
pah rushed in eleven automobile loads
of provisions in addition to a special
train of two cars from Goldfeld.
Five thousand dollars worth of sup
plies also came by special train from
Reno. The relief train already donated
is probably sufficient to last until
stocks, telegraphed for by local mer-
chants, arrive.
The town Is already being resurveyed
and rebuilding will commence i'm
mediately.
It is planned to put up nothing but
substantial buildings. No tents will be
allowed within the fire limits after thir-
ty days. The latest estimate places the
total loss by yesterdays fire at $800,000
The total insurance was only about
$4,000, the rate of Is per cent having
been prohibitive.
Perfect order prevails and everyone
is helping the situation all possible.
From al over the state supplies are
being sent to the stricken town by rail-
road, automobiles and wagons, so that
there is very little chance of famine.

Despite night and day work of tele-

connections with Rawhide have been
but fitful Very little intelligence has
been sent out today owing to this un-
satisfactory condition, Many hundreds
of telegrams and thousands of words Of

A great number of these kilograms

There was not a fatality nor, serious

LAD PLAYS HlGHWAYMAN IN
q BLACK BART STYLE
John Fellows Arrested on Complaint
of Paper Seller, Who Charges
Him with Stealing
81 Cents .'t

John Fellows, aged IA years, of 1349
East Fifty-fifth street, is a prisoner at
the city jail with the prospect of spend
ing years in a reformatory.
In true Black Bart style he held up
and robbed Freddie Meyers, aged 8
years, of 81 cents at Sixth and Hill
streets last night.
Theevictim of the highwayman is a
newsboy and was on his way to his
home at 933 South Grand avenue, after
having disposed of his bundle of af-
ternoon papers, and at Sixth and Hill
street he was accosted by Fellows,
who asked him i'll a gruff tone If he
had any money.
IT amt got none," replied Meyers,
and not liking the attitude of the larg-
er boy he started to run.
Fellows stopped him and pressing the
point of a knife against his throat de-
nanded that he give up his cash.
The little boy was plucky and twisted
out of the grasp of Fellows, but was
caught again and the knife again
pressed to his throat.
He struggled again and the two boys
rolled in the street. The big one came
up on top and sitting across the body
Of his victim took the money, all in
pennies, from his pockets, and then
let him up warning him to "skedaddle"
and say nothing about the robbery or
he would bury the knife clean to his
gizzard'' next time.
The highwayman then ran, but Fred
die followed him until he met po-
liceman and had Fellows arrested.
At the station Fellows stated that
the smaller boy had fallen into a hole
in the street and lost his money and
he had only picked it up to give 1t
back to him.
If Fellows is found guilty of the
charge against him he may be sent to
Whittier school until he has attained
his majority.

CtT. PETERSBURG, Sept. 5.-The cir
cuiar addressed by the holy synod
~ to all believers, appealing to them
not to participate in the celebration on
September In honor of Count Leo
Tolstois eightieth birthday, on the
ground that to thus praise this OPP
ponent OF the church would be stumb-
ling block to persons of weak falth,
meets with approval by only limited
section of the press and public, the
latter peing represented by the League
of Russian People.
The circular is virtually second ex-
communication of the aged writer.
The Znamia and other newspapers
condemn it unstintedly, and scathing
criticism by the Novoe Vremya, which
usually Is q staunch supporter of the
government, furnished a criterion of
the temper of Russian society generally.
Officers Getting Busy
The administrative provincial author
tiles are bestirring themselves at the
eleventh hour to check the observance
of the counts jubilee, and the govern
ors OF the provinces of Moscow, War
saw, Saratov, Simbirsk, ETC., have re-
sorted to the provisions of martial law
to veto the celebrations arranged by the
municipalities.
Furthermore the censorship of st.
Petersburg has prohibited the memorial
performance arranged for local
theater.
A telegram received here from Yas-
maya Poliana says that the influenza
and fever from which the count has
been suffering had disappeared and
that the Inflammation in his leg has
subsided.
In the last few days, however, the
count has become extremely weak and
greatly emaciated, and he is scarcely
able to speak. But in spite Of this his
mental yigor is not impaired.
Too III for Reception
Tho counts wife has issued an an
nouncement setting forth that even
her husbands relatives and closest
friends will not be received at Yasnaya
Poliana next Wednesday, because of
the patients weakness.
She has requested all newspapers
publishing commemorative articles of
the count to forward copies to the
Rumiantsoff Historical museum at
room.
The effort of the countess to prevent
the news of the bitterness excited by
his Jubilee from reaching her husband
have been fruitless. He insists upon
seeing all the newspapers, and his grief
at the harsh sentiments expressed is.
