OPERA AT THE NORMAL
 THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS
The Musical Department Is Making
 Preparation for an Elaborate Play.

For nearly two months preparations have been going on for the production of an opera by the musical department of the Tempe Normal school
 The work to be performed is "The Egyptian Princess" by an English composer. Vincent, and is well worthy the patient and painstaking efforts that are being put forth to make it the most effective and elaborate mu- sical production yet attempted by the school
 The music is very impressive, at the same time is catchy and spirited throughout, and the plot. while of a serious character generally, developes just enough humor to add snap to the entertainment.
 The work also offers a fine Oppor- tunity for stage effects, in setting and costuming, every detail of which is being worked up carefully and with such fidelity to the requirements of the work that a scene of royal splendor maybe expected
 An enthusiastic, well rounded per formance is assured. as all engaged in its preparation are determined to score an unqualified success.
 The performance will occur Friday evening. April 22, at the Normal au- ditorium.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Readers will remember that some months ago a bolt of lightning struck one of the palm trees on the Franken- berg ranch and demolished over dog en windows in the building. The palm was nearly forty feet high and about fifteen years old. A few days after the incident it showed signs of failing health and within ten days was dead Shortly after another palm of the same size and age. perhaps fifty feet dis taut from the one that was struck. be- gan to show the same signs. It has since died. The odd part Of the thing is that in the same yard were other palms equally as near to the one that was struck, which have thus far showed no i'll effects.

As soon as the rail- roads are completed. the mines will begin shipping ore, and then there may be employment for more per sons. but at the present time there are many more men than can be used by the companies now operat- ing there.
 At a meeting of the city council last night, the city engineer was given orders to instruct the cOntrac- tors in charge of the construction of the new subway to build a larger opening in the same near the Fl PasO and Southwestern depot. This matter was up in the council some weeks ago on a petition signed by business men and residents of the Brewery Gulch section, but no definite action was taken at that time. The cOun- cil also made final decision in the matter of the route of the street car railroad tracks up Tombstone can yon. Commencing at the Warren laundry. the track will pass on the south side of the residences which are built in the canyon, and not fol- low the regular road, as formerly planned. Thus is settled one of the perpleXing questions which has been before the council for some weeks

Salt river has peculiar habits. They were bad enough before the reclama- ton took it in hand. but since then it has been even worse. For instance. two days of last week the river suf- fered a decided slump and was low enough to be forded here, due to the closing of the gates at Roosevelt. A ford was staked out on Friday. Yes terday morning the stakes were out of sight and the river was higher than ever: the gates had been opened again.

RECEIVES WRIT OF
PROHIBITION FROM CARSON

The writ of prohibition that was
made permanent by the decision of
the supreme court Saturday in the
Nye and Ormsby County bank case
was received by Judge Averill yester-
day, who ordered it filed by the clerk
of the court.
This closes the case as far as the
fifth judicial district court is con
cerned, all authority being taken
from Judge Averill and placed in the
hands of Judge Langan, who under
some phrase of the law appointed
George Hall receiver after this court
had made previous appointments.
In making the decision one of the
yeasons stated by the supreme court
was that all the directors of the de-
funct institution had not been noti-
fed when the application for a re-
ceiver was made to the fifth judicial
court.
This appears to be a strange state
ment for when the application for
the writ of prohibition was made all
the directors were not notified and
some have not ever been legally In
formed up to date.

ANOTHER DAY SPENT
ARGUING LEGAL POINTS

In the case of c. NJ. Wandell VS..
the Sixty-Six club of Rhyolite per-
mission was asked yesterday by the
defense for the privilege of filing an
answer to the complaint and the
doctrine of estoppel. On the latter
counsel argued that at the time Wan
dell gambled away the sum of &c.,
900 he alleged he lost when a minor,
ne was a party to the act, for at that
time he represented himself to be of
age. The arguments on this matter
consumed the forenoon and part of
the afternoon. The privilege was
denied by the court on the grounds
it should have been filed at the com
mencement of the case.
The cross examination of Fred
Remiek, one of the proprietors of the
Sixty-Six club, was completed, and
the testimony of William Taylor, the
other defendant, was taken on direct
and cross examination. Both testi.
fed that to the best of their knowl-
edge Wandell did not lose a sum in
excess of $1,000.

is STRUCK FROM
BEHIND WITH A CLUB

Barry Maddeford, better know as
"Chappie," while engaged in doing
carpenter work yesterday afternoon
in the old Gem saloon on lower Main
street, received a severe cut over the
eye, also several minor bruises, as
a result of an attack on him by one
William Koefer.
Maddeford had his back toward
the door when the aforesaid Bill en-
tered and was dealt a blow yer the
head with a heavy cane. Bill then
paused for a second, during which
time he cast a couple of large rocks
at Maddeford, which caused the
bruises. Bill then beat a hasty re-
treat and vas chased some little dis
lance by several who were attracted
by the shout of Maddeford. He out
distanced his pursuers but at
a late hour last night was cap
tured by the police. The first
blow stunned Maddeford SO that he
was unable to respond to the attack
or defend himself.
The Italian residents of this por-
ton of the town we're highly infuri-
ated over the affair and il the an.
tagonist had been captured it is
doubtless if he would have escaped
with a whole skin.

Large Quantities

Rotholtz Brothers, the leading
Tonopah stationers, are making
great preparations toward supplying
the flower trade of this city on Deco
ration day. They have ordered for
that occasion over 5000 carnations of
various colors, $50 dozen roses, white
lilacs, lilies, and in fact, nearly
every flower in the market. The
consignments will be received from
both Los Angeles and San Francisco,
and when the orders were placed it
was with the understanding that
nothing but the best was to be sent,
regardless of cost.
The prices will be moderate for it
is not the desire of the firm to charge
exorbitantly whether or not they
happen to be the only firm dealing in
flowers.
All orders placed in advance will
be attended to and it is requested
that those desiring flowers call and
file their order and take no chance
Of being unable to secure floral deco
ratlons IL the shipment proves in

TRACK is GOING
DOWN RAPIDLY

Tracklaying on the Western Pa
cific railway from Winnemucca west
has reached a point a little beyond
the Golden Eagle mine at New Cen
trail, a distance of twenty-eight miles.
G. w. Root, tracklaying engineer, has
now a full crew of men with the big
machine and the steel is now being
laid very rapidly.
In a few days the rails will be laid
across the big Jungo desert and near
Rosebud. At Antelope Point is where
the company's gravel beds are To-
Gated. All the gravel to be used in
ballasting east and west from Win
nemucca and coyeeing many miles,
will be hauled from this gravel de-
post.
On account of the scarcity of ma
terial there has been some delay in
tracklaying east of Winnemucca.
Steel has been laid to Rocky Point,
opposite Battle Mountain. With
plenty of material on hand it will
not take long to finish this stretch at
the pace the big tracklaying machine
has been coming that way.

Ii was known in February, 1903,
that oil had been found in this well
at a depth of $50 feet, but on account
of the disputed title. the fact was de-
MED and the flow of oil cased off and
the we'll was continued on down to
the depth of 1900 feet. Two other

through and the formation from top

1t contradicts in the most emphatic

not all of the ore that is being pro-

from behind and struck him several
times over the head with a heavy
cane, appeared in Judge Atkinson's
court yesterday afternoon for trial.
Koefer, after committing the assault,
sought recluse in his cabin, but was
apprehended during the night by the
police.
He demanded a jury trial yestet-
day, which was granted, and after
hearing the evidence, a verdict OF
guilty was rendered. Koefer attempt
ed to show that Maddeford had as
sauted him on Monday night, and for
this reason he struck Maddeford
with the cane. However, his wit
nesses testified that they had wit
messed no scrap between the men.
Koefer then attempted to secure the
sympathy of the jury by dwelling on
his age and past record. In this he
made no mention of having a vag-
rancy charge over his head in the
same court.
When the verdict was retained the
court pronounced a sentence of Fix
months in the county Jail, and the
defendant was forthwith escorted to
his new quarters. He will prove a
valuable acquisition TO the chain
gang.
