RUINED HOME
RESULTS in A
SHOOTING

AS the Los Angeles train from
Tonopah was pulling into the depot
at Goldfeld yesterday morning the
passengers aboard and bystanders at
the depot were startled by hearing
three shots fired in rapid succession
and seeing two men engaged in a
wrestling match to secure possession
of a revolver held in the hands of
one of the men.
The shots were fired by Edward
Byrne and the person he intended to
kill was Everett Littlefield. Both
are residents of Goldfeld. and are
members of the carpenters union of
that place. The shots fired by Byrne
failed to reach their mark and the
only wound received by Littlefield
was when he was hit over the head
with the revolver when the men were
scuffiing.
Byrne stated that his reason for
attempting to kill Littletield was
that Littlefield had wrecked his
home. He asserts that some time
ago he took Littlefield into his home
when he was out of work and kept
him several months. Littlefield
showed his gratitude by leaving
Goldfield with Byrne's wife and also
$500 belonging to his benafactor
Littlefield stated that the cause OF
the act was an old grudge which
Byrne held against him and denied
that he had eloped with the other
mans wife. The affair will be
Strengthened out in the police court
today.

DESERT SUICIDE
Identified AS
Sidney THOMAS

The identity of the dead person
whose body was found Thursday on
the desert four miles northeast of
this city, was proven yesterday to be
that of Sidney v. Thomas. W. H.
Thomas, a brother of the deceased,
positively identified the body, as did
several other persons who had
known him for a number of years.
Thomas was last seen in this city
about ten days before Christmas,
when he told his brother he was 60
ing to Clifford to do some assess
ment work on several claims he own
ed there. At that time ha had about
$50 on his person. He had only
been in town a few days, having
come in from Round Mountain.
where he was employed on the
Sunnyside property. At times he be-
came respondent and it is thought
that while suffering from an attack
of melancholy he walked to the
lonely spot in the desert and with q
newly purchased revolver ended his
existence. He was veteran of the
Philippine war, having served in the
Nevada cavalry for several year:
during the trouble in the islands
While there he was attacked will
fever and never seemed to recover
from the effects of 1t.
He was aged % years and wal
born in Austin. He is survived by ;
mother, sister and brother, all o
whom reside in this city. Funera
arrangements have not been mad
yet, but it is thought interment viii

CROWDED HOUSE
WITNESSED The
ELKS' MINSTREL

The Elks' mammoth minstrels pre-
sented their famous production last
evening at the Pavilion theater to a
crowded house, and the audience was
kept roaring throughout the entire
program. Every laugh was scream
and the screaming was continuous.
The songs were excellent and the
singing better than that. The anna
teur bones and tambos surprised
even their friends and displayed their
talent to such an extent that few
of them are seriously thinking OF
quitting work and going on the
stage for living.
One of the prettiest and most
unique acts on the program was the
singing of "An Old Sweetheart of
Nine" by Walter Dow, assisted by
Miss Emma Wise, ], A. Diggs and
Mrs. Percy Bonham, who in panto-
mine presented the illustrations to
the song. The Olio and sextette re-
ceived encore after encore when
they presented the artistic song and
dance. Tell Me Pretty Maiden" fol-
lowed by burlesque of a country
school. Professor L. ]. Melich play
ed a number of beautiful selections
on the mandolin and the audience
was loath to have him quit.
And then came the Punkville Bal
let. Their costumes were fairly
screaming and SO was the house. OF
all the contortions and foot work
that was presented it can be safe
bet that there will never be any
thing like it ever performed behind
the footlights. This was the hit OF
: the evening and it was wonderful to
see the light and airy figures of the
girls fit across the stage. Some OF
them not only fitted, but they wad-
died as we'll. And then came the
end of the dance. AS usual, Puddy
stumbled and there was noise like
the ripping of cloth. Something
tore-somebody swore, but the audi.
ence didn't hear it. And Puddy had
to don another ballet suit before he
could appear again.
The final act on the program was
Americans Abroad" And it was
funny, too. There was the crue
King de Monk and his wife, the
queen; also two buns, some cour
ladies and the great army will
Beany as captain.
The affair was great success ant
the charity fund of the Elks will bt
enriched to quite an extent. The en-
tire company will go to Goldfield to
day and present their performance
to the residents of the sister city
Advices received last night from
Goldfield state that the entire hous,
has been nearly sold out and by to
night standing room will be at ;
premium.

THE LION AND THE MOUSE.

Possibly as fine an example of the
keen wit of the well-born, well-edu-
Gated American girl as is to be
found on the stage, is that in the
second act of Charles Klein's great
play, THE Lion and the Mouse =
which Henry B. Harris is sending to
the west this year. Shirley Ross
more, played by Edna Archer Craw-
ford, meets John Burkett Ryder,
capitally done by Paul Everton, in
the money kings home, The girl
has written book in which the
ruler of the financial world is pic
tured in any but pleasant light, the
arrow of irony and the spear of
truth piercing the bullet-proof, the
identity of Sarah Green" the girl
determined to pique the interest and
curiosity so that he will tender her
an offer to become a member of his
household on salary. The duel OF
wit is tremendous, the thrust and
parry the acme of mental agility
One leans back in ones seat and
gives up utterly to the intellectual
treat which assails the ears and
tickles the brain.

DISORDER FEARED
WHEN SHIPS ARRIVE
Honolulu Authorities Prepare to
Check Demonstration by
japanese Strikers
Training Squadron and Amer
lean Cruiser Scheduled to
Meet in Hawaiian Port

HONOLULU, June 16.-With the lead
ers awaiting reply to their appeal to
Ambassador Takahira at Washington to
make the arrest of four japanese edi-
tors and the seizure of their papers
last week by the territorial authorities
the subject of an international inquiry,
there has been no further developments
in the Japanese strike situation.
Small groups of japanese have re-
turned to work unmolested on some
of the plantations and uninterested
parties have attempted to bring about
a settlement of the differences be-
tween the planters and their employees
without success.
Precautionary measures taken by the
police have not been relaxed. but so far
there has been no indication of disorder
on the part of the strikers, who. while
much incensed over the arrest of their
leaders. are conducting themselves
peaceably
The authorities, however, are appre-
hensive that the coming of the Japa-
nese cruisers Aso and Soya which will
arrive in a few days from Seattle. will
be made an occasion for a demonstra-
ton. on the part of the strikers.
The coming of the Japanese trafning e
squadron and that of the cruiser St.
Louis. which also will arrive at Homo
lulu in a few days, is in accordance
with schedule arranged by the navy
departments of the two countries many
weeks ago. This, however, is not being
told the ignorant strikers, but their
leaders are making use of the coming
of the Japanese ships to persuade their
followers to stand firm in their de-
mands for higher wages and refuse to
return to work.
Renewed threats, it is said, have been
made against NJ. Shoba, editor of a
local conservative Japanese paper. who
opposed the strike. He has requested
the police to furnish him with a body
guard.
In response to appeals cabled to the
Japanese of San Francisco and Seattle.
replies have been received by the strike
leaders promising financial and moral
support.
a demand made by Attorney Joseph
Lightfoot for the return of the books
and papers seized on last Friday by
High Sheriff Henry in the offices of
the Jill newspaper and the Higher
Wage association has been refused by
the government. An attempt now will
be made to secure their possession by
means of a replevin suit, which is in
