Postoffice Inspector w. G. Swain
and Deputy United States Marshal
Henry Mack arrived in Tonopah
yesterday in connection with the
case of the attempted robbery of the

to Carson by the marshal, while In
spector Swain will proceed to Rhyo-
lite where he will inquire into postal
conditions at that camp.

put through the sweating process by
Mr.. Mack. He said that his name
was George McDann and that he had
come a to Tonopah after stopping at
Reno and Schurz en- route. He
claimed to be a native of Iowa. Aft
er he had told the officials that he
was innocent, he said that what he
had told them was a lie and that
his story would come out on the
witness stand

STOCK MARKET

The feature of the stock market
yesterday was the trading in the
Goldfields. Consolidated continues
to fall and is now but little above
the Sc mark. Booth is about the
only one of the Goldfeld listed Sc
curities that showed an advance.
The cause of the rise in the latter
is occasioned by the report that a
strike has been made in that estate.
The recent visit of Herman Zadig to
the property is said to have been
brought about by the finding of ore.
The Others acted in such manner
that they are not worthy of men
ton. The Tonopahs, as they are
wont to do, held their own.
The following quotations are re-
ceived by the reliable brokerage firm
of H. E. Epstine:

open, the bodies lying in their cof-
fins on the front porch of the
morgue. The Manhattan brass band
played Nearer My God to Thee
after which the impressive services
of the Knights of Pythias was read.
Following the services, a choir sang
beautifully Shall We Gather at the
River" and ut Is Well With My
Soul" two favorite hymns of Mr..
Hopf.
Following the singing by the
choir, Mrs. Homer Ross sang in a
most impressive manner Jesus,
Savior, Pilot Me-"
Rev. Robinson, who happened to
be in camp, read from the scrip
lures, which was followed by an
other solo by Mrs. Ross, Where Is
My Wandering Boy Tonight"
Mrs. George C. Porter, sister of
Mr.. Hopf, attended the services, hav-
ing come from Austin for that pur-
pose. The ceremonies were the sad
dest that have ever been held in
the Pine Tree camp and likely the
most sorrowful that will come to the
notice of the people there for many
and many day.

MEN QUIT COMPANY
OWING TO LAY OFFS

The constant layIoffs at the Og-
den shops of the Southern Pacific
railroad which have apparently be-
come one of the fixed institutions of
the company, have resulted in the
company losing some of the best
men in its employ. A number of
machinists who have been with the
Southern Pacific for years have re-
Gently resigned their positions to ac-
cept jobs with the Northern Pacific
at Billings, Missoula and other di-
vision points, There are others who
contemplate doing likewise unless
the company can furnish them with
steady employment.

Manhattan Pays Its
Respect to Memory
of it's Mine Victims

The body of Roy Parr, who met
his death at Manhattan Sunday aft
ernoon, arrived in this city yesterday
morning and was shipped to his par
ents in Oakland. Yesterday Thorn
as Kendall received a telegram from
the father of the young man that
he would arrive in Tonopah within
the next four or five days from
which it is evident that it is the
intention of Mr.. Parr to visit this
section Immediately following the
funeral of his son to inquire into
the cause of his death. The tele-
gram was dated at Reno.
The remains of A. j. Elton, an
other of the victims of the TERRIBLE
disaster, are now on the way to Ton
opah and should reach here this
morning. Yesterday Vice Chancel-
Tor Cowden of the local lodge of
knights of Pythias received a tele-
gram from the grand chancellor of
the lodge at The Dalles, Oregon,
which read as follows:
'Ship body of Elton to me at
Dalles, Oregon.
-. o. ROSE,
Chancellor Commander"
Acting upon the instructions, the
local lodge will attend to the ship
ment of the remains as requested.
Elton was formerly a member of
the order at The Dalles, later trans
ferring to Burke, Idaho, and from
there to Tonopah.
Yesterday services over the re-
mains of both Elton and Hopf we're
held in Manhattan under the aus
pieces of members of the knights of
Pythias residing there.
Under the blue dome of heaven,
nearly every resident of the north
ern camp gathered to do homage to
the memory of the young men whose
lives were sacrificed in such a ter
rible manner. Men, women and
children gathered at the biers of
them who had been called to an I'M
timely end by the un-respectiag hand
of fate.

WRONGLY PLACED.

cit is astonishing sometimes how
unconsciously careless we are of the
feelings of the person to whom we
are talking. A young guardsman
told me the other day that a friend
Of his went with him to consult his
lawyer. The solicitor, a shrewd-
looking and kindly old gentleman,
was listening to an irate explanation
of how his clerk had failed to do
something that had been expected of
him. Yes, you are quite right, it
was his fault said the solicitor.

HORSE HAD LONG LIFE.

The extraordinary age Of As years
and nine months was attained by a
horse owned by Col. Heath, which
has just died at the colonel's farm
at Apollo Bay, Victoria. Col. Heath
states that there can be no possible
doubt as to the animals, age, as he
still has the diary containing the en-
try showing when it was foaled. It
is, in all probability, the greatest
record known. The horse was rid
den by the colonel as a charger in
its youth and several times carried
him from Melbourne to Shepperton
100 miles-in two days 1t was
sired by a famous racehorse named
King Alfred, its mother being an
Australian Arab-bred mare.

Agricultural Department.
Edited By F. ". Bowen
To The Meade County News.

Some time ago your Agricultural
Editor asked me to write an article
giving my experience IN dry farm
ing. This would have been too
easy for have had no practical ex-
perience in dry farming, although |
have suffered some from the DRY
in this county.
1 told him that 1 had seen the
Ideal dry farm on my visit to the
Pacific coast, that if he so desired l
would write description of this
farm, so he desired and here we go.
This farm consists of thirteen hum
dred acres on which is planted
wheat, rye, barley, oats, with beard
less barley and oats planted together
and moved for forage crop.
At harvest this year two light drift
Deerlng binders and two or three
Deering mowers were used. There
was no weeds to bother and the
grain was SO clearly saved by the
self binders that the ~hip hunks had
a thin harvest When threshing
time came the big old horse power
thresher was brought out and thresh-
ing from the shock began. Rye
yielding | 6 bushes per acre, wheat
IS, oats and barley IS bushels each,
This farm is located in central
Oregon high up on the Cascade
mountains has no water whatever
except a few springs from which a
potatoe patch and garden is irrigated
and plentiful supply of water for
the stock OF the farm and an abun-
dance for house purposes.
The owner has lived on this farm
fourteen years and has never had to
take load of grain or forage to
market. Ranchmen taking all he
had at the farm this year. Rye $500
per bushel, wheat, barley and oats
Is cents per bushel.

HIS INVESTMENT A GOOD ONE
Colonel Germany Continues to Draw
Small Dividend Monthly on Ac-
count of Loan.

Col. Germany of Fort Scott a
number of years ago made a trip up
from Oklahoma to Caldwell with an
agent of the insurance company of
which, the colonel is a stakeholder.
They stopped for a meal at the
Caldwell eating house, and when
they finished and went up to the
cashiers desk the agent reached into
his pocket for his money. A blank
look came over his face. He didn't
have a cent, rand told Col. Germany
so. The latter promptly saw an op-
portunity to play joke, and acted
the part of a perfect stranger to his
agent.
loan me rs cents, please" asked
the agent of the colonel
"Well, I guess not" replied Cor
many. q never saw you before in
my life, man. Loan you rs cents !
You can't work me in that way. Not
fof a minute. That don't go with
me-"
The agent, of course, was nom
plused and almost knocked off his
feet. His face was a-study. After
Germany let him suffer for a little
while he handed him a five-dollar
bill.
After they left Caldwell to go
further north, and were on the train,
the agent tried to sell Germany some
stock in a Chanute oil well. The
colonel baked for a minute, but
suddenly smitten with an idea, said !:
'All right, sell me five dollars
worth !"
The agent sold it to him and the
colonel has ever since been drawing
Is cents a month on his fve-dollar
investment.

FLY AS ARTICLE OF DIET.

In the neighborhood of Lake Ny
ASA the natives ehteem a species of
fly as an excellent article of diet. It
is known as the Kungu, and appears
to be peculiar to the lake. At GER
tain seasons of the year they appear
in enormous numbers and are some
times blown in myriads over the
land. If this happens near a village
the natives come out eagerly to gath
er them up. They make them into
what they consider a delicious cen-
fectionery.

KETCHfL TELLS OF
TERMS FOR PAPKE
Latter Must Establish a RepHfas
fion and Bet $4,000 If He
Wants Match
By WILLIAM ]. sLATTERY

Stanley Ketchel. the middle weight
champion. has at last taken notice of
his old rival, Billy Papke. Ketch
speaks in scornful terms of the man
from Kewanee and suggests that he
get a reputation and post a $4,000 side
bet before talking about another meet
ing. Ketchel never roasted any fighter
as he roasted Papke yesterday after
noon. He said:
"Papke is a losers end fighter. He
is satisfied to go along and pick up
what be can by getting beat. He won't
make a showing and he won't bet his
money That is the reason why L
have given him the go by. don't
want to waste my time fOoling around
with fellow OF his class. Let him
challenges with me.
L viii fight Papke if he fights and
beats couple OF good men first But
he must do this And he must post a
$1,000 side bet. too. AS soon as he
puts mp his money mine viii be there
10 cover it,. Then ] viii talk business
with him. But ] don't intend TO waste
my time until he shows me that he
means 10 be on the square and that
he intends TO bet big money.
Il have beaten him three times and
i guess that's enough TO satisfy the
public. Yes. he beat me once in Los
Angeles but ii was huke. Didn't /
come back rev months later ana
knock him out? And / can do it
gain, but he viii have to show me
first. He is four fusher and a cheap
fellow who is willing to go on for the
losers end of the purse"
Apparently Ketchel is not much con-
cerned with fights or fighters. He says
lac Is taking a good rest and that he
would moi have paid any attention to
Papke. only he wanted TO get the mat
ter of his mind and show the fans of

SPEEDY FOOTBALL
CONTEST EXPECTED
Alameda and Polytechnic Will
Decide Academic Supremacy
Next Saturday

A great game of the old American
intercollegiate football is looked for
next Saturday afternoon on the Pre-
sidio athletic grounds, when the Ala
media and Polytechnic high schools line
up for the Academic league champion
ship.
The teams are so evenly matched
that the experts on the game aref at
a loss to figure them out 1t is expect
ed that the game will be the best of
its kind that this section of the state
has seen this season. and already in
terest in running high
The game was scheduled for this
afternoon. but at special meeting of
the directors of the Academic league
1t was postponed one week in order
to give the teams more time in which
to get into condition. They have met
twice this season, and each game re-
suited IN a tie. Their last meeting
three weeks ago on the Presidio
grounds failed TO bring about score
on either side and thus the champion
ship is still unsettled.
The proceeds of the game will be
devoted to the Youths Directory, of
which Rev Father Crowley is the NOV
ing spirit. The last game drew large
crowd, and the coming contest is ex-
pected to attract the most notable
gathering that has ever attended a
high school football game here
