George Angus slipped over a good
fone on the local golfers yesterday. No
body realized what he was doing until
it was done. The spectators were all
watching Austin White and T. Gill
during the second half of the tourna-
ment and not soul seemed to know
that Angus had COME in with first
half score that was two better than
White S.
Angus was in great form. He start,
ed well and improved consistently with
each nine holes. A glance at the score
shows that he made three, six and
seven in three each during the last
round and twice made four with only
two shots beside the drive.
Austin White has won the tourna-
ment twice, but now Angus takes
charge of the cup until next year, when
it will be played for again.
The weather was little freaky.
During the morning there was quite a
brisk southerly breeze. From about
noon till nearly three clock there was
practically no wind, and some long
drives We're made. Then the trade
winds forced their way through the
Pail gap and down the valley and the
regular breeze prevailed more or less
strongly for the rest of the afternoon.
1t was delightfully."- cool upon the
links and a large number of golfers
and their friends took the opportunity
to escape from the heat of town. The
luncn was, if possible, better than ever,
and the walters were kept busy look
ing after constant stream of hungry
ones from midday till well into the
afternoon.
By showing yesterdays wonderful
exhibition of brilliant playing, Mr..
Angus has set himself back in the club
handicap list from four to scratch j.
G. Rothweil is also set back from TWEEN
ty-seven to twenty, as he won the con
ISOLATION cup put up for those who did
not qualify in the Manoa cup prelimi-
nary rounds. His score for eighteen
holes was IS net

ANY JOCKEY MAY RIDE.

Jockey Ferreira states that he has
heard it said that, if McAuliffe were
to ride Sunrise, the latter could beat
his bay mare Lady Bernice over a
quarter-mile.
If that is the case and the owner of
Sunrise would like to have race
again, with McAuliffe or any other
jockey up. Ferreira is willing to ac-
commodate him.
Domingo also states that the race he
rode last Saturday was a superb exhi-
bition Of. horsemanship. He is quite
confident that it was the cleverest race
of his life. and that he can repeat the
performance.

Flizer Had the Goods.

Flizer played dandy game at sec

rors he took a tremendous number of
chances and was there with the goods.
His two errors were very forgivable.
He is good with the stick and. if Dom
Paul would give him one position to
play regularly, instead of making a
general utility man of him, Fizer
would turn ont to be a star.

COnfIdgrdtiOn Due to Defective FIue Causes
Damage Estimated at $4,000

The Big Casino dance hall on lower
Main street was nearly destroyed by
fire last evening and only the eff.
ficient work of the paid and volunteer
departments saved the front part of
the building, which was used as a
bar room, from destruction. The
fire was discovered at S:15 o'clock
by Ed Uren, one of the managers of
the place. A flue from the stove in
the dance hall was emitting sparks
and Uren had one of the employees of
the place empty sack of salt down
the stove pipe. He also had another
person watching the upstairs part to
prevent any such conflagration. The
fire broke out between the floors and
was discovered before it had gained
hardly any headway. In few Sec
onds it had eaten it's way to the cell
ing and broke through. The Mac
Namara siren announced the call for
the volunteers at about the same
time an alarm was telephoned to the
fire department. Within three min
utes both departments were on the
scene and had several nozzles in oper-
alton. The flames gained such head
way that by the time the water was
turned on nearly the entire upstairs
of the building was burning.
The second story was used as a
rooming place by the women employ
ed in the hall and all lost their entire
personal belongings. They had just
started in to work when the fire
broke out and had no opportunity to
rush upstairs as the top of the staip.
way was in flames. Charlie Reise, the
bartender, however, managed to make
a rush past the flames and entered

there has never been a report of any
one losing money by violence. 1t
was the training place of many of
the noted fighters who have engaged
in fistic contests in this city and in
Goldfield. Among the celebrities
who have gone through their PAGES
there are Marvin Hart, Mike Schreck;
John Willie, Joe Cans, Jack (Twin)
Sullivan, Terry Mustain, Freddie
Weeks, Young Erlenborn and numer-
Gus others.
Messrs. Summerfield and Johnson
declared last night after the fire that
they would rebuild at an early date
and erect building considerably
larger than that destroyed.
Several of the volunteers received
a few minor injuries, but none was
seriously injured.
The fire happened nearly on the
anniversary of the big fire of May IL,
1908, when the block adjoining the
Butler theater was destroyed. The
excellent work of the fire laddies last
night saved the town from destruc-
ton. At the time the alarm was
sounded a light wind was blowing
to the east and a careful watch was
kept to see that the flying embers did
not ignite other buildings.
When the paid department return
ed to the fire house they were served
with an appetizing spread which was
ordered by w. S. Johnson in his en-
deavor to show appreciation for the
work done. The spread was enjoyed
by volunteers present as well as the
paid men.
The front bar will be opened for
business today according to an an

spread to this portion of the house
there would have been very little loss
Considerable damage was done in the
breakage of the furniture and the
stock of the bar. The Office was also
cleaned out, the books and furnish
ings being carried to safe place.
The Casino restaurant suffered a
small loss by water and breakage re-
sulting from carrying the contents of
the establishment to the outside.
Chief of Police Malley was on hand
and appointed large number of
deputies to watch the articles taken
from the building. AS it was there
was very little lost by thievery and
pilfering.
The building and it's contents were
owned by George Summerfield and
w. S. johnson and the place was val
ued at about $4,000. They esti-
mate the loss to be $4,000 with no
insurance.
The Big Casino was one of the
most widely known resorts in the
west and has been visited by thou
sands who, in the old days, were
anxious to see the sights of a mining
camp. 1t was always conducted in
a respectable manner and unlike the
dance halls of the Barbary coast of
San Francisco, visitors could go to
the place with any amount of money
without thought of being robbed.

every room to see that no one was
sleeping.
The huge crowd attracted by the
alarm Immediately commenced to
strip the lower part of the building
of its contents and the piano and
other instruments were carried to the
outside. The bar and back bar of
the dance room was about the only
furnishings destroyed. The heaviest
loss here was the dance floor which
was valued at about $4,000. When
the building was first erected in 1906
the floor was shipped here by ex-
press by Mike Riley, who conducted
the place at that time. This may not
be total loss as the damage could
not be estimated last night. The
valuable pictures were torn from
their hangings and saved.
The roulette, crap, faro and black
jack games had just started and at
the sounding of the alarm, the deal
ers placed the bank rolls in sacks
which were turned over to Ed Uren.
Mr.. Uren also took the reserve roll
from the safe and the tots amount
ing to about 100000, he carried to
the vaults of the Tonopah Banking
corporation, where the sum was de-
posted for safe keeping.
The volunteers completely cleaned
out the front part of the guiding
which contained the gambling tables
and the front bar, and had the fire
