MARATHON RACE
WILL BE RUN ON
= FEBRUARY I4TH

That the BonanZa's Marathon race
will be run on Sunday, February IA,
is now an assured fact, and more
names are being added to the list of
prospective champions. One thing
must be distinctly understood by
those who desire to engage in this
contest, and that is no champs" will
be allowed to participate. The event
is only for amateurs, and especially
young men, and was gotten up for
the sake of the athletic-loving people
of this city. The handsome cup
which will be rendered the winner,
was received from the engraver's
hands yesterday and is now on ex-
hibition in the ONCE of the Marathon
Race Editor, where those who desire
to call and inspect the handsome
work of art are at liberty to do so.
The third entry for the contest was
received early yesterday morning. In
fact the entry blank was showed un-
der the door of the NJ. r. Els room
while he slept. 1t was from Jim
McQuillan, who signed himself the
champion of Candaleria and Soda
vile. Talk about conceit. We don't
know what Jim's purpose is, but sup
pose he is trying to bluff the young
er racers from taking part. 1t is true
that Jim was the champion of Soda
vile in the old days when that camp
was in it's prime. The long distance
races then were not called Marathon
races. Everything was simply race
even if it was from 100 yards to 10C
miles. The time that Jim won the
championship is part Of the history
of Sodaville itself. Jim had beat

Horrible Death
OfJ.T.LeWiS at
KIOndyke Wells

While engaged in oiling the gaso-
line engine, at the pump station at
Klondyke Wells yesterday moVning,
]. T. Lewis received injuries which
caused his death an hour later.
Lewis had only been at the sta
ton few days, and was engaged in
his customary duties when his jump
er caught in the friction wheel and
he was revolved through the air
about twenty times until his weight
caused the machinery to stop. His
cries attracted several men of the
section gang who live there, and
they Immediately released him from
the wheel and made him as COM
Portable as possible. In the mean
time dispatch was sent to A. j..
Chambers, roadmaster of the Tono-
pah and Goldfield railroad, who was
in Goldfield, and he Immediately left
for the scene with DR.. Durham of
that city. Lewis was placed on a
freight train, but the return journey
to Goldfield had harly commenced
before he passed away. An exami-
nation showed that both of his legs
were broken, all the ribs on the left
side fractured and besides receiving
several other bruises, he was injured
internally.

TONOPAH FLAG
STAFF SHOULD
BE RE-ERECTED

The flag staff, which has adorned
the top of Mount eddie since the
early days of this camp, is no more.
One of our prevailing customs has
been to fly the stars and stripes from
the top of this mountain on all state
occasions and it has been no rare
sight to see Old Glory waving in the
breeze throughout the summer
months, from this high point.
The last wind storm here several
days ago blew down the flag staff,
and now it is up to some public
spirited citizen to again erect the
staff so the stars and stripes will be
flying to the breezes on Lincoln S
Tooth anniversary.

sort sent a challenge to Benny
Rosenthal at Hawthorne. The terms
of the contest was that each was to
start from his home town and finish
at Luning, which is. twenty-five miles
distant from both places. The start
was made on a morning of Fourth
of July amidst a crowd of several
hundred Indians, who had gathered
to witness the great feat of McQuil-
lan's. The telegraph operators at
Sodaville and Hawthorne started the
racers promptly at 9 o'clock in the
morning. At 9:15 a freight train
left Sodaville and a few minutes
later handcar left Hawthorne.
When the freight reached Luning
Jim crawled from under one of the
fiat cars just in time to see Benny
come driving up on the handcar. OF
course each accused the other of
cheating and as Jim was the largest
he won. Hence his title, Champion
of Sodaville"

Lewis was we'll known in Tonopah
and had resided here for several
years. He was employed by Road
master Chambers as a section fore
man on the railroad here before be-
ing sent to the pumping station. He
was about SO years of age, and is
survived by a mother in Missouri, a
son, James Lewis, who is employed
at the railroad yards in this city, and
another son in Seattle. The remains
are at the morgue in Goldfield where
they will remain until definite ar
rangements have been made for the
burial.
Several months ago Lewis made a
visit to Washington, where he pur-
chased a ranch and it was his inten-
tion to return there within the next
few years, when he had made stake
which would prove to be sufficient
for improving the property, and set
tie down with his son.
The inquest will be held in Gold
field today before Justice Henley
Lewis was a Mason and his son is
now making arrangements to have
the body taken to Pueblo, Colorado
to be inferred by the side of his wife
who passed away some years ago.
