Let's keep the record straight and
accurate on this subject-it won't do
any harm. Here are the names of
the men who voted to kill the vital
clause: Balzar, Brossemer, Coryell,
Easton, Holmes, Hunter, Locklin,
Mack and Woodbury..
OF course, there are all sorts of
stories floating around accounting for
the method used in reaching the re-
calcitrant Democrats. One that is
persistently and boldly claimed in
their teeth is that Banker Henderson,
of Elko, who is in town today, crack
ed the creditors whip and the two
Democratic senators from his county
crawled to do his bidding.
The senate has Just passed the bill,
since the above was written, with
three adverse votes; but not these

CARSON, March 17.-Well, the
senate met the bankers today, and
was vanquished. The committee re-
ported the banking bill, the senate
went into committee of the whole,
listened to a delegation of money
changers from Reno, and arose with
out recommendation no vote having
been taken. The fight came over a
clause providing for a guarantee OF
deposits. A motion to strike 1t out
was carried, these three Democrats
having voted with the Republicans in
the Affirmative: Locklin of Virginia
City; Coryell and Hunter of Elko.
The vote was ten to eight, Senator
Douglass not being present. But
these are the three men who turned
the dirty trick, and caused the Demo
cratic party of the state to break its
promises to the people. All these
were at the Democratic caucus two
nights since when this bill was en-

JACK TARPEY
ENTHUSIASTIC
over RAWHIDE
SAYS NEW STRIKE IN GRUTT
BALLOON HILL NINE is A
BONANZA.

Jack Tarpey, accompanied by DR..
j. l.. Garner of Rawhide, arrived yes
terday from that camp in the Tarpey
auto, and both are enthusiastic over
the recent strike made on the Queen
estate on Balloon hill.
THE find of that ledge has simply
revived the town." said Mr.. Tarpey,
last evening, "and there is no doubt
but that it will prove to be one of the
bonanzas of the district The owners
of the lease have started to crosscut
and drift on the ledge, and when the
body is blocked out it will contain
ore that will go not less than several
houndred dollars to the ton. While |
did not sample the ledge myself, sew
eral conservative mining men inform
ed me that it will assay from $500 to
$500 ton.
The lease of S. C. Weeks and M.
G. Bradshaw, which adjoins the
Dromiac, has encountered the Drom-
lac ledge at depth of sixty feet.
They will continue sinking on the ore
body to determine it's greatness.
The Golden Arrow lease, which is
being operated by the Gordon Min
ing and Leasing company, has also
encountered a good ore shoot at a
depth of 1876 feet, but will continue
with the development before extract
ing the high grade.
The Weiss mill has started on it,
initial run and so far everything has
proved satisfactory, so there can be
no doubt as to the success of the
plant. The King-Heisner mill is rap
idly nearing completion and when
ready for operation will be one of the
largest plants in the camp. 1t will
have 100 tons capacity and is OF the
latest design with a complete cyanide
plant.
The camp has never looked bet.
ter during its history and with the
several recent strikes it has assumed
a prosperous appearance. The coming
summer should find Rawhide one oil
the busiest mining towns in the
state"

origin OF
MILLERS FIRE
IS UNKNOWN
SEVERAL THEORIES HAVE BEEN
ADVANCED BUT NONE ARE
DEFINITE.

Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Lightfoot came
up from Millers yesterday and spent
the day in this city.
Mr. Lightfoot was severely burned
during the fire of the Lindsay hotel
in that place Wednesday night and
came here to have his burns dressed.
The cause of the confiagration re-
mains mystery said Mr. Lightfoot,
but it is supposed to have started in
one of the rooms on the second floor.
1t was impossible to determine the
exact room for within a few minutes
after the sounding of the alarm the
back wing was in flames. The entire
male population of the town volun-
teered to fight the fire, but their eff
fort were of no avail. Water was
turned on promptly, but the wooden
building burned like finder. 1t is a
wonder that many more were not
burned or injured for all worked like
heroes and risked their lives num-
Der of times in waking guests and
saving the furnishings of the build
ing. Most of the boys who roomed
in the building lost all their personal
belongings.
My justice court office was in the
building and consequently all the
court records were burned But that
is just mere trifle compared to this
loss of the others.
Some have stated the fire was
caused by an over-heated stove, but
| do not think that is so for accord
ing to my belief there was no stove
in the vicinity of where the flames
were first discovered. 1t must have
been lighted cigarette carelessly
thrown away that caused the dam
age"
Mr.. and Mrs. Lightfoot returns t.
the mill city this morning.

burns during the conflagration

ing made to take him to the train

Manhattan, yesterday brought to this
city and placed in the county jail on
the charge of cattle stealing, William
Fancher and w. A. McWilliams,
whom he had captured in the Reve-
lille valley after running fight of
several miles.
Some time ago a number of COM
plants were made to Sheriff Owens
about cattle rustling which had been
going on for some time in the Rev
ellie valley country. Sheriff Owens
dispatched Martinson to the scene on
the first day of March and that officer
kept on the trail of the suspected men
since that date. Before his arrival
cattle owners had observed parties
killing the cattle, but were never able
to capture them or make sure OF
Identification.
Mr.. Martinson camped on the trail
of the suspected parties and during
the three weeks of his stay never re.
Taxed his vigilance. On Wednesday
he rode up to where Fancher and
Williams were dressing a steer they
had just killed, and at his command
to surrender one of the men fired g
shot at him, after which both climbed
in their wagon and endeavored tC
make their getaway. Martinson con.
tinued to fire as the chase started
and it was only after several of the
shots had struck the wagon bed thai
the men stopped their team, dis
mounted and surrendered A search
of both revealed guns, which the Of
ficer took under his charge, and ther
the journey to this city was started
The steer killed belonged to DaviG
Allen of the Reveille valley country
and the hide was also brought alonf
and will be used as evidence.
Fancher is man about As years o.
age, and is a prospector. He claims
Helena as his place of residence. Nc
Williams is aged about 80 years, ant
is laborer. He stated that he haC
lived in the county about three years
two of which were spent in the He
lena district.
The two men will have their pre-
liminary hearing today in the justic,
court.
A report was received from Gold
field last evening that message hat
been received there to the effect tina
Sheriff Owens and several Others hat

ing the fight between officers and cat
tie rustlers, which had ragged for owe
an hour. The report was withou

KANSAS TO THE FRONT
Angus Steer from Sunflower State
Wins at International Show

Arthur P. Parker, of this county,
who attended the International
Live Stock Show in Chicago re-
Gently, writes the following inter-
esting letter 10 The Index concern
ing the winning made by the big
Angus steer exhibited by the Ag-
ricultural Station Of Kansas:
can exciting contest for the Ag-
ricultural colleges took place Tues
day in the fat steer rings.
"The Kansas Agricultural College
captured grand championship over
ali other beef breeds with King
Ellsworth, a pure bred two-year-
old Angus steer. He also won
championship in the two year r-old
class.
"The yearling championship went
to the Kansas College on Symbol
leer, a e-bred Angus, and the
calf championship to the Missouri
College on Deserter, an Angus
grade.
SIN the contest showing three
steers, the get of one sire, the Kan
sas College was first with Angus;
the Iowa College second with An
gus, and Van Vatta third with
Herefords.
"The Anguses have made good
showing-six grandchampions out
of the ten years in which the In
ternational his been in existence.
"King Ellsworth was shown here
last year and was awarded second
in his class. The keen eye of Prof.
Kinzer espied a future in the calf,
a good model for class work and
a splendid prospect for this years
show. Since that time he has been
bred in a normal manner receiving
largely KANSAS ALFALFA hay until
late in the summer when the grain
ration was increased. By means
of the alfalfa the Professor has kept
a firm smooth flesh and kept the
steer gradually growing until the
latter part of the season when his
grain ration was again increased.
"The foods were principally corn
and bran with some oil-meal, and
how King Ellsworth tips the beam
at 1850 pounds. Prof. Kinzer is to
be congratulated.
