FORMER oOLDFIELD NEWS MAN
GETS SOME EXPERIENCE

Percival Shea. former assistant man
ager of The News, experienced some
cold comfort in the north o few DAYS
ago. This is how the Reno journal
tells the story:
Lost for five days in the dense for
ests near Abbot s Butte, Ore, and with
nothing but one raw salmon to eat for
As hours. Percy Shea, former manager
of The Goldfeld News, and f. f. Gil
christ, the former Columbia University
athlete, who is now an attorney in New
York, narrowly escaped death from
privation. James F. O'Brien, the we'll
known real estate man of Reno, who
accompanied them on a vacation tour
of the inaccessible mountains, told yes
terday Of this one narrowing expert
ence, and related other stories of sue
cessful bear and deer hunts.
O'Brien, Shea, Gilchrist and Harvey
Kidd, who came out from Walden, n.
Y, made the trip into southeastern
Oregon. They left here September 6.
For three weeks they lived out in the
woods, regaining their health and en-
ioying the fine shooting.
The chase of a deer led Gilchrist and
Shea into the forest and before they
had gone far from camp they realized
the return would be difficult. They
wandered for hours but were unable to
encounter anyone.
Having few matches and no warm
clothing the cold nights added to their
discomfort while their only food was
obtained when Shea shot a salmon with
one of their Is rounds of ammunition.
They travelled about 20 miles on foot
through the underbrush before they
located the camp of their friends.
Mr.. O'Brien came back to Reno Sun.
day. The others will probably stay in
the north country for a few weeks.

BLACK CANYON rs SCENE
OF SOME RICH STRIKES

The strike of gold ore made on the
Cruise lease on the Murray & Chato-
witch property in Black canyon, in the
Humloldt range, is proving to be a bo-
nanza, says the Humboldt Star. Peter
Eddy and j. ID. Mercer, who are inter
the lease, were in Lovelock Sunday and
stated that where drifting was being
done extremely rich ore was being
disclosed. After running n erosscut
tunnel So feet the ledge was eneoun
tered and drifts have been started on
the vein which shows a width of from
eighteen to twenty-eight inches. For
the full width of this pay streak the
ore is just filled with particles Of gold.
Not only little speeks disseminated
through the rock, but ore is being taken
out that is covered with nuggets. some
of which are as big as beans.
Messrs. Eddy and Mercer had with
them a large lot of samples of the rich
ore which is on exhibition, at Mr..
Cruse's jewelry store in Lovelock. As
the quartz is milk white, it would make
beautiful jewelry.
Mr.. Cruise deserves great credit for
opening up this property as he has
stayed with the development through
adverse circumstances for the past
three months. The finding of the boz
nanza ore is only the reward due for
his staying qualities.

WILL T HOIST

Mr.. Walker, of the Ruby Hill Copper
and Gold Mining company, returned to
Gardnerville last Saturday from a sew
eral weeks visit to Los Angeles and
other southern points in the interest of
his company. He brought with him Mr..
Clark, who has become interested in
the property.
"You do not know how widely the
Pine Nut district is known, . remarked
Mr.. Walker to our reporter on the day
of his return. cit is spoken of as one
of the most promising districts in Ne
vada, and is just now reaching the stage
where capital can be enlisted
During his trip, Mr.. Walker inter
ested financial assistance for his eom-
pany and informs us that a consign-
ment of mining machinery, including 4
modern hoist, is en- route to the mine
and upon its arrival active operations
will commence. The property 50 far as
present development shows, is one of
the best copper properties in the dis
triet and at the same time carries lib
eral values in gold. The total values or
gold and copper amount to $94 per ton,
according to assays recently made. The
property is located in the known min
eralized zone near the head of Little
Buffalo canyon which promises TO be
the first field of real activity in the
Pine Nut district Record Courier.

MAE WOOD TO JAIL.
Abrupt End of Piatt Suit Is
Sensational.

The case of Mae c. Wood, the Cma-
ha woman who sued United states
Senator Thomas c. Piatt for divorce,
came to a sudden and sensational end
Thursday afternoon when Justice
O'Gorman, of the supreme court, dis
missed the complaint II directed the
complainant be committed to the city
prison under $4,000 bail on a charge
of perjury. Miss Wood was taken to
the TOmbs.
The climax came after the introduc"
ton in evidence of the deposition Of a
man who manufactured the blanks
upon one of which the alleged Platt-
Wood certificate had been prepared, in
which he declared that the blank form
in question was not Autographed until
three months after the marriage OF
Miss Wood to Plat is alleged to have
occurred. The senator's son, Frank
Platt, also testified that it is his belief
no such letters ever had been written
to Miss Wood by his father as were
represented in alleged copies offered
i SoolI W ~ SO4AipAos4ioHh 1870 OND~
has attracted exceptionally wide at
tention on account of the prominence
of the aged senator and the names
of other widely known persons whom
Miss Wood involved in her sensational
charge in support of her complaint.
Miss Wood was at ice taken to the
Tombs prison. One the way she chat
ted laughingly with the officers.
The commitment on the perjury
charge was made by Justice O'Gorman
on his own initiative. He had person
ally questioned the complainant, who
had beer recalled to the stand, and
when she reiterated her former testi-
mony regarding the marriage the JUS
tice said:
The court cannot believe there was
a marriage. Being convinced of the
plaintiffs guilt in committing perjury
in the case, | commit her to prison
unless she furnishes $1,000 bail"

IN EOUSE.
CruEnpacker Scores with Bill Aimed at
South.

A campaign contribution publicity
bin, embodying an amendment by Mr..
Crumpacker, of Indiana, providing for
q reduction in the representation IN
the house of representatives IN those
states having disfranchisement laws,
was passed by the house Friday by a
vote Of 165 to 125, following a lively
debate. The measure was brought up
under suspension of the rules, and for
ty minutes were allowed in which to
discuss it. The southern members IN
particular were bitter in their denun-
of the bill.
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
was especially vigorous in his attacks.
characterizing the bill as being an at
tempt to revive the conditions Of re-
construction days.
After the Crumpacker amendment
had been adopted the democrats voted
against the bill in its entirety. In
brief the provision regarding publicity
of campaign contributions is made ap-
plicab1e to the national committees
and the national congressional COM
mittee of all political parties and all
committees, associations or organiza-
tons which shall in two or more
states influence the result of an cleo
ton at which representatives in con-
gress are to be elected.
The Crumpacker amendment pro-
vides for the re-enactment of certain
sections of the old federal election
law, except that the idea of the I'M
enacted force" bill, authorizing the
use of troops at the polls, is eliminat-
ed.

RAIL HORROR IN BELGIUM.
WO<st Disaster of the Kind in Hcry
History,

The worst railroad catastrophe ever
recorded in Belgium took place near
Contich, six miles southeast of Ant
werp, Thursday morning. The Ant
werp Express, running fifty miles per
hour, crashed into a train loaded with
pilgrims on a siding. Three cars were
literally ground to pieces, and practi-
cally all the passengers either killed
or badly injured.
Up to an early hour Thursday ALERT
noon SO dead and 80 wounded had
been removed. The occupants Of the
cars were mostly workmen and peas
ants.
Succor was extended to more than
100 injured. Surgeons, doctors and
nurses arrived early rom Antwerp at
the scene of the wreck. Many Shrek
ing and helpless, wounded persons
are still pinned under the debris. The
scene is one of horror and beggars
description.

FLOOD WORKS HAVOC
EVERY RAILROAD IN OKLAHOMA
BROUGHT TO STANDSTILL.
Fall of Twenty Inches i'm Ten Hours,
Making Total of More Than Thirty
Inches i'm Three Days-RaiIroad
Tracks and Bridges Swept Away.

Not a railroad in Oklahoma was l n
operation Sunday night as a result OIL
the heavy rains and cioudbursts that
had occurred in various parts OF the
state during the past three days. Inc
last road to suspend operations was
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Whlch
was forced to quit at noon SUNDAY
when the bridge on the main line at
Eufaula went down.
To add to the disaster the main
supplying natural gas to the indian
Territory part of the state was car
ried away with the Clarksville bridge
late Sunday and the supply of gas for
Muskogee and several other cities in
the southeastern part of the state has
been entirely cut off. Officials of the
gas company say it will be a week be-
fore repairs can be made so that he
gas supply can be carried. AS natural
gas is used for light and heat, bust
ness will be suspended in a measure.
Elevators have been forced to stop
running and hotels and restaurants
have practically been put out Of bust
ness.
During ten hours Sunday there was
a rainfall of twenty inches in that
section of the state. The previous
fall during the past three days of more
than ten inches contributed to the
damaging flood.

LITIGATION OVER COURT HOUSE
County Officers Are EnjOined from Oc-
cupying New Building.

The old court house at Pender has
become entirely inadequate to provide
suitable quarters ~ a safe place for
the county records. The county board
entered into a contract with Mr.. Ste
vensOn, proprietor of the Palace hotel
for suitable quaItars. n large vault
was constructed and several rooms re-
arranged and fitted up for county Of
fees, also a large and commodious
court rooms. AS Don as these were
ready for occupancy the board was
enjoined. This case has had its time
in court and has beer appealed to the
supreme court. The question is Wheth-
er the county board has any authority
to provide the quarters for county
records. County Attorney Chase is the
only official who beat the game. He
moved into the new quarters before
they were completed and so holds the
fort.

ACCUSED OF KILLING SIX.
Michigan Man Arrested for Wholesale
Murder.

James Brimmingstall, aged 40, is
under arrest at Dowagiac, Mich,
charged with six murders.
The police say he already has con-
fessed to two. Prosecutor Bresnahan
is confident the prisoner will admit
that he has committed other crimes.
His arrest followed an alleged attempt
to make his wife his seventh victim.
She escaped and appealed to the po-
lice. The list of Brimmingstalls vic
tins, according to the officers, are:
Man in Kansas; killed by Brimming-
stall when 16 years Did.

SURGERY CENES INSANITY.
Patien: III Nebraska Hospital Relieved
by an Operation.

by an Operation.
After having been violently nsane
for three years the mind of Mrs. Mich
aelson, a Platte Center patient in the
Nebraska state hospital for the insane
at Norfolk, has been very materially
and almost completely restored to its
normal clearness as the result of a
surgical operation for gall stones. If
her reason is permanently restored, as
DIR. G. A. Young, superintendent Of
the hospital, nov hopes it will be, 1t
will be the first case of record in the
medical and surgical world where In
sanity has been cured by removing
gall stones and the gall bladder.
DR.. Young personally performed the
operation. He removed 416 small gall
stones, as we'll as the entire gall blad-
der. From the moment that Mrs.
MichaelsOn recovered from the anaes-
thetic it was apparent that her de-
mented condition had been very much
relieved.
Mrs. Michaelson had been one Of the
very violent inmates of the hospital.
She suffered from pains, which proved
to be those caused by gall stones, and
an operation was performed. 1t is
said the physical disturbance caused
by the gall stone irritation might east
ly affect the nervous system and de-
velop all tendency toward insanity ex-
istent in the patient. Insane patients
have been known to be completely
cured as the result of an attack of ty-
phOid fever.

violation of the state banking laws.
They were released under heavy

In returning sever bills against
Ray Lamphere Friday afternoon the
Laporte grand jury also indicted Mrs.
Guinness for the murder of Andrew
Helgelein, of Mansfield, $. D. No war
ram was issued for Mrs. Guinness, as
she was declared officially dead by the
verdict of Coroner Mack, but in order
to vote a true bill against Lamphere
as accessory in the killing Of Helgelein
it was necessary to indict Mrs. Gun

The digging Friday resulted in the
unearthing of a human skull which it

dug up in the chicken yard two weeks
ago. At that time three skeletons
were found in one hole, but there
were only two skulls. The skull found
Friday was in a cesspOol, and why it
was dropped there and the rest of the

FIFTY KILLED IN A WRECK.
Collision Results in Belgium's Worst
Railway Horror.

The worst railroad catastrophe ever
recorded in Belgium occurred near
COntich, six miles southeast of Ant
werp, when the Antwerp express, strik--
ing a misplaced switch while running
fifty miles an hour, crashed into 6
train loaded with pilgrims on a sid
ing.
Every car of the pilgrim train. ex-
cepting the foremost one. was tele-
scoped. The coaches were literally
ground to pieces and nearly all the
passengers were killed or severely in
jured. About fifty dead were removed
from the wreckage and more than 100
were injured. Surgeons and nurses
arrived early from Antwerp. The sta
ton at Contich was converted into a
temporary morgue and hospital and
filed with the dead and wounded.
1t appears that the locomotive Of the
express train left the track and plunged.
into the last three passenger coaches
Of the train ON the siding. This train,
was carrying an excursion Of pilgrims
