Whisky Barrel Explodes Iniuring 4 Men

An empty whiskey barrel on the
sidewalk in front of Prater's store ON
South G street came near sending four
young men to the happy hunting
grounds this morning. The four men
were, George Robson, Richard Pope,
Will McQuarrie and Russell Lamerton.
They were standing talking when one
Of them leisurely lit IL cigarette and
threw the lighted match into the bung
hole of the barrel.
After few minutes the barrel ex.
ploded, one end going straight through
the balcony over the sidewalk and the
other parts Of the barrel striking the
men. Robson had two fingers nails OH
one hand torn off; Lamerton was hit
on the side Of the head by a flying
stave; Pope was thrown against large
window which was broken and Nc
Quarrie was thrown to the ground. All
four received slight bruises about the
body.
Had any one been sitting on the bar
rel at the time there might have been
different story to tell, which might
have read that another Constock
native son has gone to join the angels"
All four of the young men have re-
solved that when they meet for private
conversation again it will be on some
hillside where there is not even chance
for whiskey kcg or u keg of nails to
be in sight. --Virginia Chronicle

Nevada Man Pensions squaw

Apropos of story appearing in this
paper not many days ago, in which was
told of the pensioning of Maggie, the
squaw of Panamint Joe, by the well
known mining man. Bob Montgomery,
now of Los Angeles, Mr. Busch stated
yesterday That he acted in the capacity
of guardiar to Maggie, and just before
leaving home had sent the first check
from Mr.. Montgomery to be paid to his
self-appoinied ward. In forwarding
the check t, Mr.. Butch, Mr.. Montgomery
wrote feelingly of the incident which
won his deep regard for the simple
child of the desert, and referred to the
pleasure H. felt in being able in some
way to show his personal appreciation.
Maggie is a Shoshone squaw, about
sixty years of age, and now lives in the
vicinity of Rhyolite, with colony of
her tribe. Her noble work in saving
the lives of members of the party which
her husband had contracted to guide
safely through the shifting sands of
Death Valley, and who gave up his own
life in the attempt, ranks equally as
high in the annals of self sacrifice as
does any of the achievements of those
whose stories have been told in song
and story, nat considering the fact that
Maggie does not feel the thrill which
comes with the plaudits of the hero
loving world. Hers is to sit calmly,
indifferently, stoically, and await the
call of the Great Spirit which will take
her to her chieftain whose bones have
been tossed III the restless sands of the
valley for many years. But henceforth,
at the hands Of Bob Montgomery,
Maggie will receive each month a sum
of money which to her means aff1uence,
and in her declining years she will
know no want.-Goldfeld Tribune

Too Good

The StOryetto editor sat in his den,
and his visage was puckered and blue.
He was wadilg through piles of
ancient jests that were stale when the
world was new. There were jokes of
the blunder that Adam made when he
was gay young spark. There were
nautical wheezas by mariner Noah
when he sailed with the Zoo in the
Ark. There were jokes of goats, of
mother-in-law, of anglers and mythical
fish. There w1re midsummer jestlets,
and Christmas puns-a widely assorted
dish. But the editor knew them all
by heart, and his heart grew black with
guilt as he read the jokes that the
PharoahS told 10 the crocodiles down
by the Nile.
But all of sudden he gave IL cry
and his breath came quick and fast,
and he scanned Il postcard eagerly, and
then shouted. AT last! ut last! a bran
new joke! can it be, ye gods? Yes,
It's, yes, it's, VOW" Then his brain
gave way with II horrid crack, and he's
in the asylum npw.-Exchange.

A QUESTION OF EVIDENCE

Senator Aldrich says the prices of
agricultural implements are lower in
Shis country than abroad. He promised
that he would submit absolute proof
from the Department Of Commerce and
Labor that the International Harvester
company did not charge higher prices
for their implements in this country
than abroad
We will admit that Senator Aldrich
can prove anything he wishes by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
hat is if we are confiding enough to ac-
rept the statements of that department
;,s proof. But while Senator Aldrich
is getting his witnesses together we will
offer few of our own. The first one
We will call to the stand is Nelson w.
Aldrich. who in Il speech in the senate,
delivered June 2, 1905, said:
1T is well known fact about which
there is no dispute that producers in the
United States and every one of the
great industrial nations sells portions of
of their products from time to time at
less price to people of other countries
1ian to their regular customers at

logie Steel company, afterwards presi-
dent Of the steel trust, testified before

A. That is true, perfectly true
q. Would you say that when bust

port prices are regularly somewhat
lower than home prices?
A. Oh, yes, always
Next let's hear from Hon. Jeremiah
L;usk, President Harrison's Secretary of
Agriculture. He makes the assertion
chat Senator Aldrich says he can prove
% he untrue. He said:

1t would he easy to produce more

Fire Trap Saved Again

What might have proven to be
a very disastrous confagration
was prevented Thursday after
noon when fire was discovered in
one of the old frame buildings
owned by the Hicks estate on
Front street. When first seen
the fire had made but little head
way; but owing to a considera-
BILE amount of old paper and
other combustible material lying
around a few minutes more
would have given it such a start
as would have no doubt resulted
in the total destruction of OF the
row of buildings. These build
ings now are in a somewhat di-
lapidated condition, and it is
said the town council has recon-
mended their condemnation, they
being little better than fire trap.
