recent shipment is fully as rich in
precious metals as the preceding

The Cirac boys are rustlers ana
are doing more than their share IN
exploiting the resources of this
county, both mining and agricul-
tural.
If such returns as are being had
BY the Cirac and Mottini people had
occurred two or three years ago,
there would have been a big stam-
pede for the locality where the mino
is located, and it is not unlikely
that the IXL district will in a com
paratively short time attract wide
spread attention. Certainly such
ore as is coming from Ruby war
rants a lot more interest than is be-
ing manifested in the district just

BABY TWO DAYS

Frank Gale, of the Nevada bar
Der shop, returned Wednesday from
a weeks stay in San Francisco, and,
contrary to all expectations, he re-
turned without the baby he is re-
ported to have adopted while on
the coast. From the first reports
received here concerning the strange
adoption, it appeared that while
Frank was watching one OF the Pc =
tola parades, a woman asked him
TO hold her baby while she entered
the store. Frank held the baby
and the woman never came back.
He stated yesterday that he did
not know whether the infant was
white or black, as he was color
blind. lie carried it for two days
searching in vain for the mother,
and finally left it at one Of the po-
lice stations. The little tot was
only about eight months old and
during the time it was in Gales
Keeping, he became deeply attached
to It.

GETS SIX MONTHS
FOR CARRYING GUN

Charles Logan, the eolored porter
who was arrested Saturday night
when he threatened to kill his wife
and son and also threatened the life
of Mrs. Louise Toles and her son,
was tried yesterday morning in the
Justice court before Judge Brissell.
The charge placed against Logan
was carrying a concealed weapon, to
which he pleaded guilty. He also
waived the delay in receiving SEN
tence and the court ordered him 10
serve six months in the county jail
and also pay a fine of $500.
Logan can thank his lucky stars
that he escaped so easily, for K sh:

also been placed against him, it is
almost a certainty that he woult
repose in the county jail for a time
double that of his present term d

"SLIM" GRIMMET
KILLS ED BAKER
IN SELF DEFENSE

During an alteration at Nina
Saturday night, "slim" Grimmett
shot and killed Ed Baker, a brother
of the proprietor Of the Nina hotel.
The men had a dispute over money
matters and from the meagre in
formation obtained, it appears that
Grimmett accused Baker Of not
making an equal division of certain
money In the dispute that fol-
lowed, Baker walked behind the bar
and secured a revolver. Taking a
hasty aim he fired a shot at Grim
nett which went over the intended
victims head. Grimmett immedi-
ately drew his gun and fired two
shots at Baker. The first went wild
and lodged in the back bar, but
the second struck Baker over the
left eye and entered the brain,
causing instant death. Grimmett
surrendered to the authorities.
Yesterday morning Judge Glenn
of Reno arrived at Nina and viii
take charge of the defense of Grim.
nett. Glenn was sent out b.
George Wing6eld, who is a persona
friend of the arrested man.
Grimmett was well known il
southern Nevada and only a shor
time ago visited this city for sew
eral days, He is a gambler by oc
cupation. and has ALWAYS had
reputation as a peace loving man
There is but little doubt that h,
will be acquitted on the pre- minar,
examination, as the witnesses to tn
affair state that he acted in self
defense.
The remains of Baker were take
yesterday to Yerington, where the
will be buried in the family plot.
