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 a 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 filled 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 a benefit which will
eventually be given the firemen in
the shape of a gymnasium. The
cause is a worthy one and the people
of Tonopah can always be relied up
on 10 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
tiers for the lease of their houses at
a merely nominal sum and the serv
ices of the local talent who acquitted
themselves in q highly commercially
manner.
At the Butler theater the instru-
mental music furnished 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
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 a distinct charm was
forced to respond to encores
At the Nevada theater Alfred
Kells, in a vaudeville stunt in which
he took a soubrette part, caused par
oxysms of laughter. He was brought

Arthur Perry. who is rated an artist

lightful solos accompanied on the
piano by Herman Albert. Harry
Downs, who Is ever in demand. sang

W. T. CUDDY ASKS
FOR REELECTION

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of w. T. Cuddy for
county commissioner for the long
term. Mr.. Cuddy has been commits
sioner for the past four years and
his record has met with the approval
and appreciation of all parties. He
has proven an honest and efficient
officer. who has always acted for the
best interests of the county and who
has never been influenced by private
interest. He is an old and respected
citizen of the state and after a resi-
dence of over thirty years no reflec-
lions has been cast on his integrity
as a man or his honesty as a public
servant. Mr.. Cuddy has conducted
a large and successful business in
Tonopah for the past five years and
no business man in the state stands
higher for commercial integrity and
honesty OF purpose. No better OF
worthier man can be found In any
party, and he should receive the sup
port of the community irrespective OF
their political affiliations.

George b. Swasey. present chief of
the Tonopah fire department, an
nounces himself as a candidate be-
fore the Republican county conven-
ton for the position of county clerk.
There is no g%ainsaying the fact any
position that Mr.. Swasey might be
called upon to fill would be taken
care of in the best possible.
Mr.. Swasey Is a Nevada born and
raised man. In every walk of life,
in every vocation that he has follow
ed, he has been upright and success
full. For the past four years he has
occupied the position of deputy sher-
if under a Democratic administra-
ton, and It can be said without fear
of contradiction that he Is considered
one of the best officials Nye county
has ever had. II nominated he viii

est votes cast for any county official.

TERRIEIC

Silver Lake. a small hamlet on the
Tonopah and Tidewater railway, was
visited by a terrific storm on Wednes-
day afternoon. Houses were unroof-
ed and blown down and in the space
of forty minutes three feet Of water
had fallen, evidently caused by a
cloud burst.

Asks support for Rand Concerts.

Asks support for Band Concerts.
The Tonopah brass band has APP
pointed a committee to interview the
citizens and business men of the
town to see what amount could be
subscribed for regular weekly con-
certs until late in the season and
while the evenings are pleasant, All
who are interested in this project are
kindly invited to cooperate with the
band. A number of business men
have already promised to subscribe
literally towards the undertaking,
and no doubt all will contribute what
they can. The concerts will be
given at different parts Of the town,
so that all may enjoy the music.

Hose Company No. I Wins.

The hose cart race Sunday evening
certainly tried the mettle of the men
belonging to two of the companies.
The distance for the Bryan avenue
and Florence avenu teams is some
thing over half a mile, and yet they
covered that distance, had the water
on the building and accomplished all
that was required of them under the
rule OF the races and were prepared
to reel up the hose in four and one
half minutes. Team No. 3, which
had but two blocks to cover, was
naturally first on the scene, closely
followed by the hook and ladder.
Chief Swasey awarded the honor to
team No. ], captained by Ambrose
Murphy. The next race will be fixed
on a more equitable basis as It is the
intention to establish a handicap.
The next race will probably be on
Sunday evening.

MOUNTAINS AND
MILLERS TIED
Standing of the Clubs is Changed to
Sundays Games.

Poor fielding and errors at an in
opportune time caused the loss of
first place in the percentage column
to the Montanas Sunday afternoon.
Westall of the Montanas struck out
seventeen men, the seasons record
so far. Upon the opposing team
Doane pitched fine ball. backed up
by errorless playing on the part of
the Tonopahs. The at the end
of the game stood 10 to 5 in favor Of
the Tonopahs.
The second game between the Mil
lers team and the Eagles-Elks vas
won by the former, Roberts, who
pitched the forepart of the game, was
replaced by Hurd in the fifth inning,
Van of the Millers was replaced In
the sixth inning by Holster. Malley
made a beautiful drive TO left field,
making third, but in his haste failed
to touch the first bag-the umpire
so deciding. Barr played a faultless
game. With five times at the bat he
made FIVE hits. He brought forth
the applause of the fans by dragging
down a hot liner and then throwing
a runner out at second, making a
double play. The was 10 to 8,
with the Millers on the long end.

VISITS ToNoPAH

w. h. A%lberger, traffic manager of
the Tonopah and Tidewater railway,
is a Tonopah visitor, coming in on
last nights train. He will leave this
afternoon for Los Angeles.
Mr.. Alberger is rated as one of the
most competent railroad men in the
United States. He is essentially a
western man, understands the needs
of the west and as an operator and
manager has no peer. A compare
lively young man his future career
will be watched with great interest.
For many years he was connected
with the Santa Fe railway system,
but was induced by Borax Smith to
assume charge of a line which is
destined to become a still more inn
portant factor in the building up OF
this state. Regarding rumors of the
Tonopah and Tidewater building to
Ely and connecting there with the
Western Pacific, Mr.. Alberger was
non-committal, but he was free &c
say that his road was out for bust
ness and If extensions OF connections
were necessary that it was the policy
of the Tonopah and Tidewater man
agement to see that they were made
Mr.. Alberger has a host of friends
