figure of a man ran out toward Whis-
pering Smith with his hands high in
the air, and pitched headlong on the
ground. It was the skulker, Barney
Rebstock, driven out by Wickwire's
fire.
The shooting ceased. Silence fell upon
the gloom Of the dusk. Then came a
calling between Smith and Wickwire,
and a signaling of pistol shots for their
companions. Kennedy and Bob Scott
dashed down toward the river bed on
their horses Seagrue lay on his face.
Young Rebstock sat with his hands
around his knees on the sand. Above
him at some distance, WiCkWire and
Smith stood before a man who leaned
against the sharp cheek of the bOwlder
at the point. In his hands his rifle
was held across his lap just as he had
dropped on his knee to fire. He had
never moved after he was struck. His
head, dropping a little, rested against
the rock, and his hat lay on the sand;
his heavy beard had sunk into his chest
and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep.
Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the
mountains there was no double for Muir
ray Sinclair.
When he jumped behind the point to
pick Whispering Smith off the ledge he
had laid himself directly under Wick
wires fire across the wash. The first
shot of the cowboy at 200 yards had
passed, as he knelt, through both tenn

It was beyond human endurance to
support the leaden death. The little
square of brass between the sights wa
vered. Seagrue stumbled, doubled on
his knees, and staggering plunged loose

Smith threw his fire toward the bOwlder
behind which Sinclair and Barney Reb-
stock had disappeared.
Suddenly he realized that the bullets
from the point were not coming his
way. He was aware of a second rifle
duel above the bend WickWfre. worm.

only two months now? Why, the set

Whispering Smith, lying on his iron
bed in the hospital, professed not to
be able quite to understand why they
had made such fuss about it, He
underwent the excitement of the ap-
peaTauCe of BarnhaTdt and the first
talk with McClOud and Dicksie with
hardly a rise in his temperature, and,
lying in the sunshine of the afternoon,
he was waiting for Marion. When she
opened the door his face was turned
WistfUlly toward it. He held cut his
hands with the old smile, She ran
half-bliuded across the room and
dropped on her knee beside him.
My dear Marion, why did they drag
you away out here?"
They did not drag we away out
here. Did you expect me to sit with
folded hands when 7 heard you were i'll

He looked hUugrily at her. Il didn't

would take it very. seriously"
Mr.. McCloud is crushed this after

WILL ESTABLISH PRECEDENT
IN STATE JURISPRUDENCE

A. Zedler, the mining man, returned
from his former home at Goldfeld Sun
day morning, where he had been called
on legal business. In speaking of the
case, Saturday mornings Tribune says:
can unique point of interest to trav-
elers on railroads is now under ad-
visement by Judge Somers of the dis
trict court and his decision will form
a basis for matters of this nature n
the future. Antoine Zedler shipped his
baggage from Bellingham, Wash, to
Goldfield, at least he tried to. The
trunk never arrived here, and was lost
somewhere along the line. Zedler claims
that the trunk contained goods of the
value of $7S395, and for this sum he
sues the Tonopah and Goldfeld rail
road.
The railroad people say that their
liability for loss of baggage does not
exceed 800, and show the man IS
ticket, which so recites. General Dono-
van asserts, on behalf of Zedler, that
if man buys a ticket in rush, as is
usually the case, and has no oppor-
tunity to examine its provisions, he is
not bound by the limit of 500 liza
bihty.''

DIVORCE IN POLITE
SOCIETY

Edward J. Livernash, California ex-
Congressman, political factor, labor
champion, lawyer, journalist and litter
atteur, formerly of San Francisco, OBJ
tanned a decree of divorce from his
wife, Jessie Livernash, in Judge Pike 8
court yesterday, and after that had his
name changed to Edward j. de Niver-
nais.
The divorce was not contested but
was remarkable in the refinement of in
compatibility which was described. No
quarrelling, no harsh words or cruelty
was alleged. just desertion and di-
vergent views, ideals, pleasures and
ambitions. They separated years ago
but met so often under such embarrass-
ing circumstances that, Livernash said,
"a divorce seemed the only solution. TO
the mother was given the custody of
their l7-year-old daughter, at the faith
er' s wish.
The petition for change of name was
likewise cause of much interest, as
Livernash is well known and the de-
sire to change the name could not be
understood, but he said de Nivernais
was the original name in France. That
his grandfather carried the name safe
ly over to Montreal where it was cor
rupted by the Canadians to Nivernash
and then through slip of the pen in
deed, to Livernash.
De Nivernais, as he is now known,
says he will go to Rhyolite to follow
mining and write stories.-Sunday 3

WILL
CLOSE TOMORROW

Thus far 325 citizens have registered
to vote at the special election on the
sewer bond question, which will be held
on the 5th of June, and it is not ex-
pected that this number will be ma
terially increased. That this total is
rather small compared with the regis
tration last fall, is due to the fact that
only residents within the city limits
are eligible to vote. The registration
at the last general election included all
electors residing within the precinct,
which embraces a large surrounding
territory.
The registration books are open at
the office of Judge Robins, in the court
house, but will be closed tomorrow ev-
ening, at O'Clock.
Today a movement is on foot to call
a mass meeting, to be held at the court
house some evening the first of the
week, at which time all taxpayers and
citizens will be given full opportunity
to voice their sentiments on the propo-
sition of bonding the town.

RICH HIGH GRADE
FROM new CAMP

j. G. Campbell came in from his Yel-
lowstone properties the latter part of
the week, bringing with him 80 pounds
of high grade that will go from $12 to
SIS per pound.
Mr.. Campbell reports that there is a
large amount of development work be-
ing done in the camp, with good pros
poets. On his own property there is a
six-foot ledge of low grade that will
run from $l2 to $40. OCCASIONAL pockets
of high grade are encountered, from one
of which the small shipment he brought

SUNDAY AT THE
M. E. CHURCH

Last Sunday at the M. f. church
special services were held. The pastor,
Rev. j. M. Wilson, preached an excel
lent sermon at the morning services to
the children from the text, Luke /, IS,
'What Manner of Child Shall This
Bef' The discourse was a very able
one--telling the children their real
fortune, how to become great men and
women and be of good service to the
world. Brother Wilson is quite at
home with the children and they great
ly enjoyed the talk of their able and
talented pastor.
Following the sermon the sacrement
of baptism was administered to nine
children. The sight was beautiful
one, and no doubt all heaven was re-
joicing on the occasion. AS visiting
stranger in town | thought that Win
nemucea is fast striving into the king
dom of God. That is the greatest
blessing of any community-to seek
God in the very day of salvation.
Again, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
In the church, the pastor baptised six
adults, making total of Is receiving
the holy sacrament in one day. This
speaks well of the church, pastor and
people. At the evening service, the
Rev. J. Morlais Richards, b. D., of
Malheur City, Oregon, preached. His
sermon was attractive and well enjoy
ed by the congregation. This was the
hrst time for him to preach in Nevada,
but he is welcome to come again.

grand scenery and a great blessing.

glory and the uplifting of the glorious
kingdom. A VISITOR.

RATE CASE STILL
UNSETTLED

The railroad rate war is still going
merrily on. Although the Interstate
Commerce Commission has rendered a
decision in the famous Spokane rate
case, the Hill Hartman lines have ten
dered rate somewhat higher, which
Spokane refuses to accept. In speak
ing of the situation, this mornings
Reno Journal says:
Despite the fact that Spokane is US
ing every ounce of preventative against
the acceptance by the government Of
the rate adjustment advanced by the
Hill and Hartman lines, San Francisco
is getting ready to send man to Wash
ington to do the same thing.
The railroads have secured post
ponment of the date making effective
the reduced rates granted Spokane by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and have proposed schedule which the
northern merchants declare is not as
low as that they have already secured.
The Spokane Chamber of Commerce
and the Spokane Merchants associa-
tion are out with decided protest, q
copy Of which has been received by the
Reno Commercial club, with an appeal
for aid.
San Francisco jobbers, through their
Merchants exchange and traffic manss-
er William R. Wheeler, are also protest
ing. Their motive, however, according
to the words of their representative, is
decidedly different. Wheeler sounds
warning to his own with the words,
THE real seriousness OIL the proposed
action of tn erailroads lies in the prob
ability, amounting to almost certain
ty, that if the proposed readjustment to
Spokane becomes effective, like read
justments will be made to such points
as Reno, neutralizing the advantages
inherent to San Francisco's geopraphi-
cal location and limiting her distribu-
tion to the territory west of the foot
hills of the Sierra Nevadas."
Spokane merchants say they realize
that they will benefit by the Hartman
Hill plan, but hold the Interstate Com
merce Commission has granted them
what will benefit them more. San
Francisco jobbers believe they see in
the railroads proposition the inception
OF a general reduction.
Both cities have commenced fighting.

the Hercules, with excellent showings.
Yesterday Mr.. Barnes sold his undivid-

public, but, it is understood, runs well
up in the four figures.
At present there is good inquiry

VISITORS ARRIVE
FROM IDAHO

This morning G. H. Potter and B.
w. Duffes, two well-knOwn mining men
of Nampa, Idaho, arrived direct from
their home town in car driven by III.
E. Bradley. When seen at the Lafay-
ette this afternoon by representative
of the Silver State News and asked as
to the significance Of the visit, Mr..
Potter replied:
"Having heard so much in the last
few weeks of the rich mines of Hum
boldt county, and particularly of Ma
tional, we concluded to take a run
down and look over the situation for
ourselves. We shall start on our re-
turn trip in the morning, and will make
a stop and look over the camp of Ma
tional. We are not prepared, at present,
to state what we shall do in the way of
investment.
"What are the business conditions
at Nampa and in Boise basin, Mr.. Pot
teri" inquired the reporter.
Excellent was the reply "While
at present the mining industry is lit
tie quiet, business in general is good.
Especially is this true of Nampa, where
a large amount of building is in prog
ress. as well as other improvements.
About ten days ago f. H. Dewey let
the contract for a $4,000 business
block, and yesterday the contract was
let for a $4,000 department store,
which win occupy a ground space of
90x90, three stories high. In addition
the city of Nampa has let extensive
paving contracts, the last one being for
$40, ,000.n
"The Payette- Boise government IT,
rigation project is nearing completion.
The water was turned into the reser-
voir, situated about six miles below
Nampa, some weeks ago, and now Gov
ers some 1000 acres. When full it is
estimated that the lake will cover H.
600 acres, at a depth, in places, of 60
feet"
