THREE MEN HAVE
EACH OTHER ARRESTED

A rather complicated case was
called In the justice court yesterday
and after a brief. but interesting,
lecture by the court, was dismissed.
The proceedings started several
days ago when M. d. Madden, of
the Manhattan hotel, was arrested
on a warrant sworn to by George
Moore, charging assault and battery.
Madden then filed a complaint OF
disturbing the peace against A.
Fritsch, who was arrested. Fritsch
turned around and had Madden ar
rested the second time, charging as
sault. Madden then wanted Moore
placed under bonds to keep the
peace. The tangle was becoming
somewhat interesting and had the
trial been postponed a few days
longer, there is no telling what
might have happened. After a
short conference in the court yester-
day all the complaining parties de-
cided to withdraw their suits and
the difficulties were amicably set
tied.

One of the neatest displays in the
grocery line can be observed at the

pany. The interior of the store
also contains a vegetable display,

Dick Keeper. The line of vege-
tables carried by this concern con-

that can be secured and the dis
play is so arranged in tiers that it
requires but a minute to make your
choice.
The vegetables are received daily
by express, which insures that all
the goods are fresh. One of the
windows contains a wine and liquor
display, over 40 different grades Of
wine being on exhibition. AS the
thrifty housewives have started to
make preparations for the Christmas
dinners, it would pay all TO inspect
the displays at the Southern Ne
vada before making the necessary
purchases. Do not wait until the
last minute when the clerks are
o~verworked and deliveries may be
delayed a few hours, but place your
order at once and have the goods
on time.

BELIEVE DEATH WAS

Friends of J.. A. Timlin. whose

a Chicago hotel and whose death
was caused by a bullet wound in
the abdomen, scoff at the suicide
theory and state that they are OF
the belief that death was due to an
accidental discharge of the revolt

body.
Timlin had left San Francisco
about a week ago for the east. on
a visit to his mother and sister, the
former being quite i'll. Just before
his departure he wrote Newton
Crumley of the Nevada Club, stat
ing the purpose of the trip. Mr..
Crumley has known Timlin for a
number of years, both in this state

Miners HAVE

FROM DYNAMITE
EXPLOSION RESULTS FROM AT
TEMPT TO THAW THIRTY
TWO STICKS or POWDER

An explosion of dynamite occur
red a few days ago at Round Noun
tain which came near causing the
death Of several persons. The news
OF the accident was brought to To-
nopah by Judge George r.. Foley,
who is in from the hydraulic camp
on legal business.
Miners employed doing assess
ment work on the Townsite shaft
had placed 80 sticks Of dynamite
close to a fire to thaw out. When
the noon hour approached, the men
went down the shaft to eat, as the
weather was quite cold on top.
They had hardly seated themselves
when a terrific explosion was heard.
Residents of the camp hurried to
the scene expecting to find nothing
but fragments of the men. Every
window within 100 yards of the
shaft was broken and the build
ings completely shaken up. A hole
Of sufficient dimensions to answer
for the annual assessment work re-
suited from the accident.
L. Amundsen, driving one Of the
Thomas flyers, passed the scene but
a few seconds before, and had hard
ly proceeded 10 feet from the spot
when the dynamite exploded. Had
he been opposite the powder, which
was but a few feet from the road,
1t is probable that the paint on the
machine would have been scratched.
The auto contained several passen-
gers.

standing the fact that many lots
were assessed in Glendale, Pioneer
and other places of a similar nature,
there are only 364 names on the de-
linquency list. This speaks louder
than words as showing the prosper
u condition of the county. In To-
nopah, especially, property owners
have guarded their interests by
paying their taxes promptly. Those
who own or control acreage
throughout the county have also
protected their holdings. Even in
the most barren and God-forsaken
parts of the county, where sand
dunes and sagebrush hold full sway,
and where heretofore one would be
considered daffy to even think of
taking up land, taxes have been
promptly and even solicitously paid.

WILL CONTEST SALE
OF CARLSON MILL

Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
the mill Of the Carlson Mining and
Milling company, at Golden Arrow,
was sold at auction in front of the
courthouse, to Ed Clifford, Jr., who
acted on behalf of the other own
ers of the Glendale property. The
sum obtained ON the mill and tools
amounted to $3.50.
About a week ago r. D. Walker,
A. II. Elftman and r. A. Wilson
were appointed by J. Poujade, the
referee in bankruptcy, as a board
of appraisers. The three gentlemen
visited the mill and appraised the
value of the property at about
$500. Originally the mill was
worth a great deal more, but pass
ing %prospectors have helped them
selves to different portions of the
machinery and the plant has been
slightly wrecked.
Among those present at the sale
yesterday was G. +. Pyler, of San
Jose, who is president of the Carl
o company and one Of the heay-
lest creditors OF the concern. Mr..
Pyler also represents three other
large creditors. He stated last
evening that he would endeavor to
have the sale declared invalid, as
certain requirements were not COM
piled with. He has already been
advised by the other creditors to en-
deavor to secure a larger sum for
the sale of the plant.
Il had received an offer of $4,000
for the mill" said Mr.. Pyler, but
found it impossible to have the auc-
t%ioneer postpone the sale. AS a
heavy creditor of the company, II
feel it my duty to secure the Iarg-
est sum possible. The referee in
bankruptcy ordered the sale held at
! 80 O'Clock and contrary to this
the auction was advertised to
be held at 2 o'clock, All the prop
erty was ordered sold, and instead
only the mill and tools were dis
posed of. The claims against the
company will run up in the thou5-
and the small sum obtained
from the sale will in no way help
10 liquidate the Indebtedness"
Mr.. Pyler leaves this morning for
Carson to file a demurrer to the
sale, but expects to return shortly.
