ALL ARE ENTHUSED
OVER WHAT THEY
SAW At RAWHIDF

Nugent, located twelve miles to the
south of Rawhide, is another camp
that has recently sprung into life,
and which will probably receive a
number of settlers from the overflow
of Rawhide. The camp has been
named for Gus Nugent, who, with Alf
Miller, Harry Seward and several
others, owns six claims. Some of the
paintings taken from the ground are
exceptionally good, and assays as
high as $1,000 ton have been re-
turned.
Ed. Miller, who held the fort on a
lease on the Litigator claim on Bal
loon hill against his former partners,
and who capitulated when exhausted
from loss of sleep, is again in pos
session of the ground, and has the
backing of many of the business men
in the camp.
Charlie Blumenthal received a let
ter from E. C. Simpson yesterday,
which spoke of the good showing in
the Royal Coachman, and the ada
cent country in the vicinity of the
Royal Tiger ground. There has been
strike made on the Tiger claim
which looks very promising.

BY this light the burglar made his
way to the front of the store, where
the silverware and the finest cutlery,
razors, pocket knives, ETC., are kept.
He evidently knew the lay Of the
store. He grabbed a box of razors,
anC pocketed them. In the store he
found a grip, and this he had taken
with him with the evident intention
of loading it with his plunder. At
this juncture Henry got busy. Close
to his bed are the wires of the cleo
tric lights. and reaching from the
bed, he turned on the switch of the
two big arc lights in front of the
store. The light shot up with
flicker and noise like the slapping
OF Stats on the side of house, and
no doubt the burglar thought that
the ghosts were after him. He ran
to the back of the store to escape by
the way that he came. He jumped
ur on the table intending, doubtless,
to raise himself up to the transom,
hut as he struck the table Henry,
from his bed, saw him.
The clerk raised his Al Colts and
let drive. There were two Offices
between him and his man, and three
panes of glass to shoot through. He
fired twice. and the shots sounded
like cannons, The burglar forgot

words as he fell dead before the al
tar of st. Elizabeth's Catholic church

victim of cowardly anarchist to
whom he had just administered the

was kneeling before the altar rail be-

the startled communicates had real
lied the awful deed that had Just
been committed the fiend raised him
self and yelled in delight over the
success of the bloody deed he had
just committed. The murderer was
hurried on to Jail. where he freely
confessed his crime. giving as his
reason that he had a grudge against
the clergy. reiterating his expression
OF pleasure over the terrible act.

The burglar made his entrance
about ten minutes of twelve O'Clock
last night. He made his exit few
minutes later. There are couple
of playful cats that sleep in the store
and their antics disturbed Henry a
short time before. He dSzed off
again, and was awakened by the
smashing of glass. He thought that
the noise was again made by the
playful cats, but he did not go to
sleep this time.
In the back of the store, the door
leading out into the yard is of glass,
with large glass transom above 1t.
To the left, looking out frc<h the
store. is wide window, in front Of
which is square table used for cut

then brokeiit and removed it. In

The conditions at Schurz are
ideal for a mill and entrepot for
Rawhide," said Dave O'Neill yester-
day. O'Neill is well posted on the
conditions in that section, having
jprospected throughout the length and
breadth of the Walker Indian reser-
yation as well as in the Rawhide dis
trict. What is MORE" continued
aO'Neill, this man Sword has ample
funds to carry out any enterprise in
which he may become interested. The
announcement that he is to build a
mill and construct the electric road
comes from authentic sources and
can be depended upon as reliable in
every way"
Though Rawhide has hardly been
scratched SO far as development
work is concerned there is now suf-
| ficient ore in sight, according to
every mining man who has visited
| the district, to keep 150-stamp
mill running continuously for many
years to come. With railroad facili-
ties over the twenty-five miles which
intervene between Rawhide and
Schurz, this insures one of the big
gest mining camps in Nevada and
one of the most substantial in the
entire country.
This is certainly going some for
camp two months old, to use tbs
general expression now being made
about the new camp"

render, untu one night was in my
home church ut service and sat in the
choir by the invitation o. the min
ister. Half way back In the audi
ence, | noticed a roller polo player
who had been converted just about u
month. wa, interested IN him be-
cause he had an unusual life story,
and | watched him closely. As we
were singing Il hymn, | saw his head
drop to the the back of the seat in
front of him, and remain in that pJ-
s!tion throughout the service. At
the close he stood up and said he was
convinced that there was something
God wanted him to do Immediately.
but he could not get light on what
his task might be. Christian friends
stayed and prayed with him and so
did |, prompted | must confess,
mainly by curiosity.
Just as we were leaving the church
remarked TO him as We shook hands,
You are a peculiar fellow.
"What do you mean,'- he ques-
toned.
.'Well,' | said, There is some
thing God wants you to do and You
are awfuIly anxious to do 1t, but you
don't know what it is. Now |
know what God wants me to do but
I'm not going TO do t."
He held my hand and counseled,
'That is an awful confession to make.
Don't you think you had better
kneel right now with me, ask for
givcness for your peryerslty and make
a full surrender?
"He pleaded with me until | fin
ally consented and through his in
fluence made a complete gift of my
self TO the Master.
The polo player reached out his
hand and there were tears in his
eyes and voice as he clasped my hand
and said, 81 know now what God
wanted me to do. He wanted me to
win you this night
"The next day my father received
