BIG AMOUNT OF
MONEY RAISED
GYMNASIUM FOR VOLUNTEER
FIREMEN is NOW AN
ASSURED FACT.

1t was certainly volunteer fire
mems night.
Everybody was out in force last
evening to witness the volunteer fire
department benefit given at both the
local theaters and to say that the
playhouses were crowded would be
putting it mild Every seat was
taken at both performances and
standing room was at a premium.
From early morn the firemen were
out selling tickets and every one took
several and it is safe to say that
there is not resident of this city
this morning who has not several of
the tickets still in their possession.
They appreciated the cause that the
volunteers were working for and did
everything in their power to help
them. The proceeds derived from
last nights entertainment means
that the gymnasium is now an as
sured fact and work will be started
at once on the building. while the
committee which has in charge the
securing of the paraphenalia have
placed orders which will be filed at
once.
Certainly great credit must be
given both to the citizens and the
volunteers, one for the work per-
formed, the other for his aid in con-
summating benefit which will
eventually be given the firemen in
the shape of gymnasium. The
cause is a worthy one and the people
of Tonopah can always be relied up
on to come forward in giving assist
ance in any measure of this char
acter. Too much praise can not be
given the management of the thea
ters for the lease of their houses at
a merely nominal sum and the serv-
ices of the local talent who acquitted
themselves in highly commercially
manner.
At the Butler theater the instru-
mental music fu nished by Messrs.
Hensel, Stark and Tanzie was re-
sponded to by an encore. Mrs. Let
son Ballet, who had been prevailed
upon to appear, delighted the large
audience with her rendition of sew

GREAT INTEREST
in COMING Fight
DOUGHERTY AND WEEKS ARE
DOING ACTIVE TRAINING
FOR COMING BOUT.

The smoker to be given by the
Casino club on the 18th is creating
more interest among the fistic Tow
ing public daily. Large crowds visit
the Casino every afternoon to watch
their respective favorite do his stunt
with the gloves, and the lucky specta-
tor is well repaid for his time, for
both boys tear into their sparring
partners with a vim that makes one
think that he is at the ring side
watching real scrap.
You can hear one spectator remark
that Dougherty will be all to the
good this time and the next remark
will be that Freddie is all the candy,
and the general opinion seems to be
equally divided.
That the scrap will be a warm af-
fair goes without saying, and every
one you hear speak of the six-rounds
on July 4th say they will certainly
be there for the big show. The pre-
liminary boys are also getting into
shape, and next Wednesday nights
smoker promises to be one of the
most interesting entertainments that
the most ardent fan could wish for.
General admission will be 50 with
reserved seats at So.

eral solos and the audience kept up
a demand and she was compelled to
appear time and time again. Miss
Nora Emmett and Miss Ballet sang
a duet and Mr.. Arthur Burrows,
whose voice has distinct charm was
forced to respond to encores.
At the Nevada tbeater Alfred
Kells, in vaudeville stunt in which
he took soubrette part, caused par
oxysms of laughter. He was brought
to the footlights again and again.
Arthur Perry, who is rated an artist
on the violin, rendered several de-
lightful solos accompanied on the
piano by Herman Albert. Harry
Downs, who is ever in demand, sang
several solos which the audience
highly appreciated. Walter Dow, the
regular soloist, was in magnificent
voice and charmed everybody with
the several solos which he rendered.
The films at both theaters were
manipulated in such a manner as to
give the most pleasing effect.
The streets were one mass of surg
ing humanity and the visitor in our
midst could well imagine that he
was at Narraganaset pier or at New
port from the number of people seen.
