AWFUL MISTAKE
MADE LAST night
BY JAMES HALEY
POPULAR STATE OFFICIALS MIS-
TAKE NEARLY CAUSES
HIS DEATH.

James F. Haley, state bullion and
tax collector, last evening had what
might be called narrow escape from
death. James has been working real
hard of late and on many nights has
labored until dawn AS consequence
he has been troubled with insomnia.
Just before retiring last night to his
apartments in the Mizpah hotel,
James consulted a doctor who pre-
scribed some kind of white powder
which was guaranteed to make the
state official snore in the sleep of
the innocent.
When James was ready to retire he
took a dose from what he thought
was the bottle of powder recently
purchased And then a horrible
light dawned upon him. In his grip
were two bottles exactly like the one
containing the sleeping draught
One contained strychnine and the
other salts And Haley thought he

PROSPECT OF $40 PER HAS
GREAT ATTRACTIONS FOR

A rather belated answer to the adj
vertisement appearing in Thursdays

this office yesterday from kitchen

dexterity with which some of the

plates toward the center of the table
always calls forth my profoundest
admiration. 1t would make a pro-
fessional discus thrower of ancient

to something near 100000.
Today District Attorney Baker

demand the above sum from the
bank From that on the manner to
be pursued is unknown, but the first
steps are in legal conformity as pre-
scribed in the statutes of Nevada. In
all probability suit will be brought

the action taken by the county COM

SUSPICIOUS
CHARACTERS ARE
ARRESTED
POLICE ARREST TWO 'PHONEY
JEWELLERY PEDDLERS ON
SUSPICION.

Chief of Police Malley and Cap
tain Ed Walsh yesterday arrested
two suspicious characters who have
been lounging around the saloons of
this city for several days. When
searched at the city Jail phony gold
nuggets which had been made into
pins and three skeleton keys were
found. Both men refused to divulge
their names when questioned, and it
is the opinion of the officers that
they have past records. 1t was learn
ed later that they had been around
town trying to sell the bogus gold
pins, for a test revealed the fact that
they were composed of brass.
The card of a Red Bluff, Califor-
mia, jeweler was found, which an
nounced the fact that pins could be
secured for the small sum of so cents
each or 81 a dozen. 1t is not known
If any of the pins were sold to un-
suspecting citizens, and if they were
any who happened to bite it is not
likely will complain about being
stung.
Both men will be tried today il the
