MAN, EX-W|FE AND
FRIEND IN MIX-UP

Jockey McAuliffe, his divorced wife
and Farrell, who works for the Manu-
facturers' Shoe Company, created two
scenes on the street last night and fin
ished up at the police station, where
Mrs McAuliffe alarmed the men on
duty by having Mysteries and fainting.
The three first came together on Hotel
street, about seven o'clock, Farrell and
Mrs. McAuliffe being met by the
jockey. The woman refused to speak
to McAuliffe, which led to the two men
exchanging blows, Farrell, as is al
legged, making a motion to pull a gun.
Later the row was renewed on Alakea
street, McAuliffe bringing Officer Hau-
mea to his help by yelling murder
and police The policemen took both
men to the station to explain, and Mrs.
McAuliffe followed.
Each of the three was so excited last
night that no connected story could be
got Chief Taylor advising them to
come back in the morning and swear
out any warrants against each other
that they wanted to. At the station,
Mrs McAuliffe stated many times that
she was afraid her ex-husband would
murder her

.HOLDUP MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN 4 GENUINE ONE

There have been some developments
of late in the investigation of the al
legged hold-up of K. Honda Monday
night, near the old Russian Frank
premises, which have cast considerable
doubt on whether there was a hold-up
or not
A good deal has been found out
which has led the police to look fur
ther. One of the men arrested on the
Identification of Honda was Harry
Perry. who came here as the second
mate of the ship Astral. HIS was pos
itively identified as one of the men
who held up the japanese, Honda. The.
police, however, became convinced that
Perry had nothing whatever to do with
the hold-up, if there was one, and he
was released. Perry was not broke.
He had a sum something like $500
coming to him. He is of an easy-going
disposition and would be the last man
in the world to go into anything of
that sort.

How rapidly the pessimist
To optimism grows!
He needs naught else except to have
Good money in his clothes.
And how the optimist will feel
His optimism choke
And turn to be pessimist,
When he has gone dead broke!
And SO each others point of view
On goodly cash depends
Which shows where mans philosophy
Begins and also ends.

PLEADS GUILTY TO ASSAULT
Justice of the Peace Refuses to Enter
Up. Mayor Gibson's Fine, Pending
Investigation by the Grand Jury =
Trouble Starts Over a Civil Suit in
Justice Court at Maxwell.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Tfmes-RepubltcalL
Nevada Sept. 22.-MaXwell, down in
the southeast part of the county. is
just now the scene of unparalleled ex-
element, as the result of an alterca-
ton which took place on the streets,
between Ellis Gibson, the mayor of the
town, and Ollie Shryock, 0. prominent
citizen. Shryock is confined to his
tenance and the physicians refuse to
state how his injuries may terminate,
while the mayor has plead guilty to
assault, in a justice court, and the
case is now being investigated by the
grand jury, in session here.
1t appears that the trouble arose
over civil suit in local Justice
court, some time ago, when Gibson,
who is in the mercantile business, sued
man named II. d. Cook, employed for
SShryock, for an account Shyrock
was garnisheed for the amount. AS an
outcome of this case, Cook was nc
cused Of perjury, and bound over to
the grand jury. The investigation last
week resulted in Cook being dis
missed, and thru his attorney, U. S.
Alderman, an action for $4,000 dam
ages was started against Gibson. THE
papers were served on Saturday eve
ming.
This angered Gibson, and upon meet
ing Shryock upon the street. he began
upbraiding him for what he consid-
cred was his part in the matter. Con-.
siderable abusive and threatening Ian
guage was used. Witnesses say that
Shryock told Gibson that he was aware
that his physical condition would not
permit of him fighting, and he knew
that Gibson had the best OF him. He
also told the mayor that he, consider
ing his position. should refrain from
such violent action and abusive Ian
guage on the principal thoroughfare OF
the town. He then started to leave
the spot, but Gibson is said to have
struck him back Of the ear, telling
him to the cement walk. Other blows
ere struck, but as to how many.
there is some difference of opinion
among the witnesses.
In an attempt to stop the fight, an
old man named Beregeland, was
knocked down by one of the other
Gibsons, and before the ARRAY was
over there was a good sized crowd
taking sides in the matter. AS soon
as it was over, Gibson fastened to the
office Of Justice of the Peace Jesse
Bowen, and plead guilty to an assault.
Bowen accepted his plea, but refused
to enter up the fine until he had made
further investigation OF the affair.
The matter was at once taken up
with the grand jury, a list of witnesses
furnished them, and it will probably be
further investigated. Both of the par
ties to the suit are we'll known and
highly respected in the community, and
the affair has caused no end of hard
feeling and bitterness among the
friends of the two men,
