TONOPAH HAS
BIG FIRE

Fire started by the explosion Of a
moving picture machine, shortly after
8 O'Clock last night, destroyed the
Big Casino at Tonopah. the largest
dance hall and gambling house in
Nevada. causing a loss og $4,000 and
for .lme threatening 10 wipe out
the whole town of TonopaA.
Hundreds of women and miners
crowded into the big dancing pavilion
in the rear portion OF the Big Casino
were thrown into a panic by the ex-
plosion and many were s4lghtly In
jured in making their escape. Almost
Immediately after the explosion the
building was wrapped in flames. Many
had narrow escapes from live wires
and falling timbers.
For two hours the fire. famed by a
stiff wind, threatened to sweep to-
ward the Pioneer Livery Stable. a
short distance from the burning dance
hail, and connecting with smaller
frame buildings straight toward the
heart OF the city. Every available fire
fighting force was called into reQuisi
ton and the fact that the results
were not more disastrous is due to
the volunteer work OF every able
bodied citizen in TonOpah. The wind
subsidized when the flames were at
their height and water. liDeraily pour
ed upon the adjacent hvery stable
prevented the building from catching
atire.
Shortly after midnight the dance
hall was q mass OF smouldering ruins
with no danger likely to ensue. The
loss is partly covered by insurance.

FIRE FOLLOWS
DYNAMITE

Captain Herman Davis passed
through this morning enroute to Day
ton.
He says that ne Rocky Point mill
was burned by an incendiary. That
giant powder was used in it and that
heavy mill timbers were blown in
every direction by the explosion that
started the fire.
He also says that there was not a
stick of powder, a can OF oil nor a
flask of quicksilver in the mill, and
tnat the explosion and nre that fol-
lowed were the WORK of a person that
&c is certain he knows, !'ut cannot
convict of the crime.
We never counsel unlawful acts.
but we would have mighty little to
say in criticism if Dayton people
should rise up and run the 2ombre
that fired the mill out OF me country.

.SAYSSWEENEY

Here's where we rise up and holler.
Here's where we simply dy all to
pieces with wrath and things like
that.
Here's waere we refer to our es-
teemed contemporary, the bonanza.

other endearments like that--Or
words TO that effect.
That he should give credence to
a story that makes Jimmy Sweeney

The judge politely and firmly and
then no so politely but none the less
firmly, consigned the bonanza. its
correspondent, and all MS and their
works SO far in the neither region
that a crow could not ny 20 tlem in
q week. -
AS matter OF fact, the Bonanza,
by little reflection could have saw
ed Lself from being ridiculous. The
Judge is not eligible TO the office or
Governor, even if he wanted the place.
The only office to which he can re-
move is that OF United States Sena-
tor, or Congressman. The judge
says he wouldn't have the Office OF
governor on a silver platter, but that
may be taken as a bit OF his airy per-
sitiage, though it is fact that he
passed the office up two years ago
when he might possibly Lave won the
nomination.
The whole fact is that the republi-
can party and Inc republican press
is trying by every means IN its power
TO produce in the united democracy
of the state tae same schisms that
rend and destroy the republican party
organization. To pick upon Sweeney
as the first deserter is piece of fool
ishness. Sweeney isn't built that
way.
Following is the article referred 10
as it appeared in the Bonanza:

When he did not reappear Captain Shan
