.YOHE WANTS GAME
 WITH LOCAL TEAM
Captain of Shelter City Base ball Aggregation Negotiat- ing For Contest With Bisbee Organization.

Manager-C Captain Billy Yohe is not certain that he can get visiting team here next Sunday though negotiations to that end are on with Bispee Tone asking for game but from neither cf these cities received a favorable response. He is now dickeripg wit Bisbee and hopes to get a team from that city to come down Sunday. But if they can't come he promises a good local game on that day with his team and the best that can be mus tered from among the local players pitted against each other
 ~sYohe has been working his team every day this week and they are fast getting into shape after a winter of baseball inactivity. Yohe, Lewis and Earthman are al in the best of condi ton, while Ozee, the new first base man, is rounding to in such fine shape that he is already playing a fast game All who have seen him work pro nounce him crackerjack and much is expected of him in the future. The new catcher has good, strong whip and good throw 10 second. It is ex- pected he will show to fine advantage in the coming game.
 Sox Not Coming.
 The, very best bet is that the White Sox will not be seen in Douglas this year. D. A. O'Donoran last night re- ceiyed an answer to his wire to Com iskey which conveyed the iIrforma- tion that Comiskey had written o. Donovan two weeks ago, cancelling the game, and the suggestion that the local man "see letter2 O'Dono- ovan is still looking for the letter, which "has not came"
 Name Contest Conditions.
 Yohe has decided that all ladies who want to take advantage of his offer of a season ticket to the ball games to the one who suggests the most appropriate name for his 1908 team, shall send in all names in a sealed envelope to the sporting editor of the Internationai-AmericaD, who, with the sporting editor Of the Dis patch will be the judges, If they can not agree as between two names sug- gested a disinterested third person will decide the matter. Yohe wants name that is catchy for his team and one that is at the same time ap- propriate, and to the lady who in the opinion of the judges suggests the best name he will present season ticket.
 A short name-one that comes trip pingly of the tongue-is better, for it is easier to say than longer ones. Baseball teams usually have names that are suggestive of the city they represent. Frequently too the name of the manager is made part Of the nam of the team.
 The name competition will be closed March 31 and the winner an nounced on April 1.-Douglas Interna- itionaEAmerican

MAD RUSH IS ON
TO GOLD STRIKE

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 15.--
The rush is on to new gold strike
in the desert country near Marvel, in
the northeastern corner of this coun-
ty The strike by couple of wan
dering prospectors of ledge, the ore
of which assays $4,000 to the ton, is
the cause of the stampede. The lucky
prospectors were liberal enough to
report their strike and the rush has
been growing ever since.
The scene of the strike is about 15
miles this side of the Nevada line,
and the entire population of the old
and growing Searchlight camp is in
the throes of excitement. Automo-
biles, buggies, wagons, bicycles and
burros are being used as the means
of transportation. Many parties are
leaving from Needles and other near
by towns.
1t is said that the excitement has
penetrated into the further Nevada
camps and the residents of Goldfield
and other towns in that vicinity are
trembling with the excitement of the
news of the strike and an exodus
from that place is expected

GAMBLER HURLS
ROCKS At BANK
Especial to the Bonanza. J

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 15.-W. T.
Grace, who threw rocks and monkey
wrenches through the windows of
the State Bank and Trust Company,
because he was broke and drunk and
had money in the closed bank, has
repented. Three windows were ut
terly ruined, and three new windows
have to be replaced. The smash took
place on Monday night, when there
were three men in the bank watching
the property
Grace is a gambler, and he has
money in the bank which he is unable
to get out. He got drunk, and per-
haps it occurred to him that if he
were to open the windows some of
the money might get out. At any
rate, he threw the rocks and monkey
wrenches, and made a bulleye on
each window, for he hit the center
every time. He relented this morn
ing to the effect of promising to pay
the damage, and it it understood that
there will be no prosecution. The
damage is estimated at $500.

STATE IS GIVEN
NEVADAN' 'SFORTUNE

RENO, Jan. 15.-John Lee, who
for sixty-five years has been a resi-
dent of eastern Washoe county and
there amassed $250,OOO in stock
raising, died early this morning
Without heirs or known claimants
for the money he left Lees estate
will revert to the State.
Lee started in business, backed by
Anthony Bowers, who died impover-
ished, and after his friends demise
he made money. Several times he was
considered one of the largest cattle
owners in the intermountain coun-
try. Lee S few relatives never came
to this State to live, and one by one
passed away in the Middle West leav-
ing him alone.
One of his peculiarities was that
he insisted he would have plenty of
time to make his will before dying
and that he would leave his money
to some charitable organization
Sickness, however, soon relieved him
of the opportunity. The remains
will be buried in Wadsworth, near
which town his estate lies.
