Still Dark
Mystery

Patrick Conlon, the Nevada North
ern brakeman who was mysteriOusly
shot at McGill on Thursday night of
last week.. is recovering satisfactorily
from the wound in his leg at the
Steptoe hospital, where he was taken
when his plight was ascertained.
Due to the fact that the wound is
healing nicely, the physicians in
chargesat the hospital have decided
that they will not probe for the bull
let in the leg, and unless there are
developments which are not now ex-
pected, Conlon will carry the missile
about with him as a reminder of
his experience.
Neither Conlon nor several of his
friends who have investigated the
shooting as far as possible in his be-
half have been able to get any ad-
ditional light on the affair, and 1t
remains as much of a mystery as
ever, with small chance now that 1T
will ever be solved. The officers at
McGill have been able to find no

Hurt
in Fall From
Locomotive


Barney Hedges, a wei known and
popular fireman of the Nevada North
ern, fell from the tender of his engine
yesterday afternoon at Cherry Creek,
sustaining injuries that will keep him
OFF duty for several weeks.
The accident occurred while water
was being taken. Hedges was at the
real of the tender, facing the engine.
His mind occupied with the work he
was doing, he stepped backwards
without thinking and was precipitat-
ed to the track. striking on the back
of his neck and shoulders.
The fall was noticed by members
of the train crew. that of the regular
freight, bound for East Ely, and he
was picked up and carried to the
caboose in a semi conscious condition
His neck Immediately began to swell,
as a result of strained cords. and
upon arrival in East Ely had attain
ed nearly double normal size. Medical
examination did not reveal danger
Gus symptoms, however. Hedges is
at his room at the Larson hotel In
East Ely, where he will probably
| spend the better part of the next two
weeks. He is considered to have
played in luck in not breaking his
neck.

clue whatever and are as entirely
in the dark as they we're a week ago.
One of the most puzzling features
of the case is that no has been
found at McGill who heard a shot
fired last Thursday night. Inasmuch
as the shooting occurred early in the
evening and unquestionably in the
very heart of the business part of the
town, usually crowded with people
about the streets between Z and 3
O'Clock, this is one of the strangest
of the circumstances surrounding
the case. It has led to speculation
as to whether or not the shot could
have been from a high power air
gun, of which sort of weapon there
are a good many around the camp.
The bullet in the leg OF. Conlon
would probably throw some light on
this point.
Conlon will probably be able to
be out of the hospital in another
week, when he is likely to do some
investigating on his own hook.

Last Monday the County Auditor fin.
ished TIE extending Of the tar roll for
the year 1909, and turned the book over
TO the County Treasurer. The Treas
urer lie now ready to receive the taxes
for this year. and the taxpayers have
been duly notified.
The total assessed valuation of real
and personal property in Eureka County,
as sho wn by the assessment roll for the

and $43, 637. 70 total tax for 1908. 1t will

300 valuation for high school purposes,
and also a special al of 10 cents ON all
the property Of Beowawe school district
