PLEASED With
TRIP To RAWHIDE
CONGRESSMAN BARTLETT SAYS
CAMP LOOKS LIKE THE
REAL THING.

Congressman George A. Bartlett,
Malcolm Macdonald and George
Thatcher, returned last night from
Rawhide, and were very much pleas
ed with their trip.
tRawhide,' said Mr.. Bartlett,
has all the earmarks of great
camp, and 1 believe that she has the
goods She is far ahead of Tonopah
and Goldfield in development work
at the same age. never saw sur
face showing to equal that of the
new camp. and | don't believe that
anyone else ever did. The town, too,
is ahead of anything that l ever saw
in this country before. 1t is live
ly, go-ahead town, with live, go
ahead people There seems to be a
good deal of business going on, and
the way that real estate is advanc-
ing, as well as the prices of the prop
critics is astonishing"
Mr.. Bartlett will leave for Wash
ington on the noon train today, go
ing by the southern route.

DWYER LEAVES
UNITED STATES

Patrick Dwyer left last night with
his mother and children for their old
home in Canada. We understand
that District Attorney Maestretti con-
sented to his going on condition that
he would never return to this State
If he does, Mr.. Maestretti informed
him that he would ge arrested and
prosecuted on the indictment hang
ing over him in Lander county. If
Dwyer keeps his promise. Nevada is
rid of him forever. This is very little
retribution, however, for the crime
he committed. -Elko Independent

ESCAPES FROM A
FRIGHTFUL DEATH
MISS BEATRICE HART SERI-
OUSLY BURNED AT
GOLDFIELD.
lspecial to the Bonanza. }

GOLDFIELD, Feb. Miss Bea-
trice Hart, former resident of
Tonopah and niece of George Brod-
igan, the county recorder, today mar
rowly escaped from being burned to
death. Her presence of mind saved
her home fro mdestruction and her
self from a frightful death. She
could not escape, though, from be-
ing seriously burned, as she is now
in bed suffering from her injuries,
which, while serious, are not fatal.
The Harris had just moved into a
new home on Euclid avenue, and
there was an oil stove burning in
one of the rooms to warm it up and
dry the walls. Miss Hart happened
to detect smoke coming from the
room, and hurriedly opened the door
to find herself in the midst of flames.
The sudden draft caused the stove
to explode, and the oil was sent
scattering over her clothing. She
ran in and smothered the ames from
the stove before she realized that he:
clothing was on fire. The fierce heat
soon made its effect apparent on her
person, and she rushed from the
house and rolled herself in the snow.
The flames were reduced to smoke,
and gathering herself up, she ran
across the street to the court house
where are located the headquarters
of her uncle, Mr. Brodigan. The lat.
ter, in company with Andy Roach
was just coming out the door.
Miss Harris clothing was saturated
with oil, and the wind famed the
flames into new life as she ran
Brodigan and Roach, with their Owl
coats smothered the flames, and be
tween them carried the sufferin:
girl to her home, where she was at
tended to soon after by physician
and put to bed Her back and arm
and legs were badly burned, and he
sufferings were most severe. He
face was uninjured. Miss Hart i
we'll known in Tonopah, where he
sister is the wife of George Pyne
with Ryan and Stenson.

TESTIFIED DwYER WAS INSANE.

Reports from Elko are to the eff
feet that the verdict in the Dwyer
case was largely due to the testi-
mony of Sheriff Murphy and Deputy
Sheriff Oliver of Lander county. Both
men testified that Dwyer was un-
doubtedly insane Immediately after
they arrested him, shortly after the
murder and this evidence is claimed
to have decided the jury At the first
trial both the officials testified, SO it
is said. that Dryer was sane i'm
mediately after the shooting and that
he showed no signs of alcoholic in
sanity.
On the first ballot the jury stood
10 to 2 favorable to the plea of in
sanity, but after spending all night
wrestling with the question the en-
tire jury decided the man was in
sane According to the Elko papers
the verdict did not meet the approval
of the Elko people.-Carson News.

STIMLER TO have
ELECTRIC system

Stimler is in the list of shippers,
and from present indications it will
remain there for some time, at least
until local means of treating the
proposition are provided. The in
itial shipment was brought into
Blair the early part of the week, and
consisted of about ten tons. AS rap
idly as it will be possible to do So
this will be increased until a forty
ton car can be loaded, which, should
no storms interfere, will be early in
the coming week The ore is from
the Watson-Irvine ground, and all
of the many who have examined the
workings within the past week say
there is a magnificent showing, and,
with the installation of the hoist.
which arrived last Saturday, there
should be steady stream of high
grade ore pouring forth.
The shaft will be put down to at
least the 300-foot mark, and cross
cuts driven to the ore shoot which
has been tapped on the 90-foot level
by crosscut which is in thirty feet.
George Vickers, on recent trip
to the district, gave practical illus
| tration of the liberality with which
the management of the property will
be conducted. Extensions of all leases
were promised where the leasers
would sink to a specified depth, one
| which could be easily attained by
windlass, if no other means were
available, and will furnish to those
wanting them, such hoists as he can
secure in the properties operated by
him in Goldfield. These concessions,
alone, mark a policy hitherto I'M
known in mining circles, and when
to this must be added a reduction in
royalties, it marks policy that
should, and doubtless will, stimulate
unwonted activity in the new camp
and bring it to the front very
quickly.
Superintendent E. A. Quinn, OF
the Nevada California Power Com
pany, has been in the Stimler dis
trict this week, looking over the
ground with a view to extending the
line into camp. Mr.. Quinn met with
much encouragement and thinks the
line will be extended shortly. 1t will
branch off from the line now run
ming to the Valcalda pump station
at a point where the distance will bt
only about one and half miles, an(
entering the district at the eastern
end. Mr.. Quinn states that survey!
will be made at once, and the worl
begun as soon as the parallel lint
reaches Silver Peak, which will b.
early in February.
The bringing in of electric powe
speaks well for the permanency o
the camp, possibly more SO than any
thing else, and indicates a progress
siveness on the part of those in
terested which argues well for tn
future.-Blair Press.

/" EAST LYNNE" WAS
THE ATTRACTION
OLD TIME PLAY BROUGHT THE
TEARS TO THE EYES
OF MANY.

East Lynne was the peach o.
the Aylesworth engagement, for the
dear old play has been proved the
Rawhide production of the week. 1t
was the strike that brought the rush
to the pavilion. East Lynne" is so
we'll known that she could be set
down in strange city and find her
way about blindfolded in the slop-
piest weather. She has many friends
and they were all there last night;
they were there in tiers and tears.
If the Butler pumps had not been
pressed into service, there would
have been food without a doubt;
as it was the tide was high enough
to float Bob Evans battleship fleet.
1t must have been raining in East
Lynne" all the time, and the best
families probably had their own
boats. Lady Isabel was rain dear,
but the best informed authorities de-
clare that she was a chump, for let
ting go good paying property for
a wildcat like Sir Francis Levison.
Levison was stiff, and he got his;
but that didn't do the girl any good.
She was getting hers all the time.
When they pinched Sir Francis Levi
son, Letson Balliett fell off his chair
with terrible noise, he was so
afraid that Levison was going to be
overlooked.
The band played all the time,
Then You'll Remember Me-" You
bet, old girl, we never could forget
you. More tears. The ladies had
their goloshes on, and the men wore
big boots. They liked to splash
around in the wet. When Madame
Vine came in with the goggles on
you could hear the honk, honk oi
the automobile in the distance, and
the chills and fever music of Eliza
| crossing the ice brought more weeps
1t was sad story. Why will these
| girls do this? We give it up. Hence
the problem play.
Since East Lynne" was born
there have been more problem play
than sums in arithmetic, but thu
problem is still unsolved, and per
haps never will be solved. The Har
per company gave very clever rem
dition of the old familiar, and Mis-
Harper could touch the lymphati
duct at will. In emotion plays sh
is at her best. In Lady Isabel ant
Madame Vine the sympathy was al
hers till the end. Her scene at tn
death of the little boy was heart
rending in the extreme, and the tax
ing off of the hayward wife, he
dying in the peaceful surrounding
of what had once been her home
touched every heart.
The engagement of the Harpe
company has been singularly success
full and the theater loving people vii
be pleased to know that the popula
company Is to play a return engage

venors in the action of Francis H..

able management from $500 to 500
day, and it worth conservatively
100000. They allege that the
Throop suit is part of conspiracy
to destroy the value of the stock;
that the Indebtedness for which
Throop seeks to recover is fictitious
and was created without considera-
ton. The plaintiffs name M. Levin
banker, of San Luis Obispo, presi-
dent of the company; v. Tognazzini
secretary-treasurer G. T. Greenfield
Benjamin Brooks, C. o. King, A. Lu-

Some of our readers may wonder
how the Times can support Governor
Crawford for the United States senate,
after all that was said in the primary
campaign. Everybody knows that al
together too many personal filings were
used In the contest before the primary
on both sides and since the selections
are made there is no republican unwil-
ling to recognize that fact. In the
primary contest we supported the mar
whom we felt would best serve the
great state Of South Dakota in the
United States senate, personal friend
ship did pot dictate. A majority of a
few hundred Of the republicans of the
state decided that Governor Crawford
was the man to- send. We may have
erred in Judgment; not knowing wheth-
er we did or not, the Times is willing
to take the judgment Of the majority
and work as hard for the election of
the entire ticket as If it were all of
our own selection. We are too much
interested in the success of republican
principles and a continuation of repub-
lican prosperity to kick over little diff
ferences.-Lake Preston Times.

FUMIGATEs HIS CHICKEN COOP.

Monday evening the fire department
was called upon to extinguish a blaze
in the chicken coop of Charles e. Hall,
the chicken fancier and poultry expert.
The fire started in a peculiar manner,
so Mr.. Hall says and before it was
under control it had completely destroy
ed the chicken house and endangered
the surrounding property. Mr.. Hall
was about to fumigate the house with
a pan of sulphur and when he touched
a match to it there was a flash which
ignited the hay on the floor and he
barely had time to escape before it was
all ablaze. His hair, eyebrows and
mustache were badly scorched. All OF
his pure-bred stock were saved, so he
is taking the calamity with becoming
resignation. The coop was so
thoroughly fumigated that it will not
be necessary to use the same method
for some time.
We have arranged with Mr.. Hall for
an article on "The Proper Method of
Fumigating a Chicken House." which
viii appear in an early number of the
Register.

they car show it by their presence,

The management informs us that
a large and attractive program has
been arranged for, and there will be
something for the amusement and
entertainment of the crowds every min.

and other sports, besides a minstrel
show and other attractions. We are
unable to give a list of these this
week, but will have a detailed pro,
gram in our next issue. On one day
there will be a base ball game between
the Aurora and Arlington teams, and
as they are old rivals it will attract a
good crowd. Lake Benton will also
play and a fast team will be secured
to go against them.
Monday evening the city council
