by ALLEN BRAGG.

Neil Munro. one of the pioneers
who assisted in making a trail west
from the l20th meridian into the
center of what for years was known
as the Great American Desert
dropped OUT of the ranks at his
home on Aultman street yesterday
morning about IL o'clock.
He had but recently returned from
health seeking visit 10 the Sanwich
Islands, where he spent the greater
part of the winter and came back a
little improved. but the rayages Of
disease had MAIDS inroads upon
his constitution to such an extent
that he had not the strength TO fight
off new complications. Tie was taken
with congestion of the lungs Thurs
day evening and passed away yes
terday morning.
Mr. Munro fought the battle of
life brayely in the west for many
years and knew hardship and poy-
erty as but few know them
Fortune. however, came to him in the
winter of his life and he died rated
as one of the lucky ones.
Mr.. Munro was one of the principal
stockholders In the Ely National
Bank and was the cashier of that
institution He has been a familiar
figure on the streets of Ely since
the town was put on the map. coming
here in 1887 the year the legislature
moved the county seat from Hamil-
ton. Prior TO that time he had lived
at Cherry Greek. and afterwards
moved to Taylor when that camp
gave great promise of permanency.
When the bottom dropped out of
Taylor, he moved TO Ely and built
and conducted one of the first
restaurants and lodging houses in the
town. For many years he and Mrs.
Munro conducted the hotel and dur
ing the time were offered many
opportunities to show their unselfish-
and kindly natures. Never did anyone
sick or in trouble. appeal to them for
succor In vain and the book of time
is filled with records of their kindly
assistance to the needy and dis
tressed.
Mr.. Munro was of sturdy Scotch
stock and born on the Isle of Man
between fifty and sixty years ago. He
leaves two daughters. Sophie and
Josephine. his wife having died last
year
Thus il is that the ranks of the
sturdy men and women. who
pioneered in the desert of Nevada
and demonstrated TO the world that
1t was a fit place to make homes
are leaving their unfinished tasks

TRIP OF FAMOUS COOK.
George ". Harvey Travelled 6OOO
Miles to Cook One Dish. -

WASHINGTON, May 90 George
W. Harvey, the inventor OF steamed
oysters, and a famous restaurant
keeper. who died here today, was
once the hero of a stunt that i'm some
respects made the exploits of Lu-
cullus and other noted gourmets of
ancient Rome look cheap and COM
monplace. He made 6000-mile
journey TO cook or supervise the
cooking OF a single course of a din
ner.
A wealthy Englishman noted for
his love of good living, while ON a
visit 10 Washington. was given din
ner at Harvey's at which tarrapin
formed the piece de resistance. 1t
was the first time the Englishman
had encountered the famous Mary
land delicacy, and il made an instan-
taneous and profound hit with him.
He decided he would have TO intro
duee the dish to his London friends,
and at once entered into negotia-
tions with Harvey TO come to Lon
don and do the cooking.
Harvey named his price and 1t was
accepted without murmar. al
though 1t was stiff one, as he was
very portly man and did not like
to travel. At the appointed time he
engaged his passage for England,
took sufficient number of live ter
rapin along with him and sailed for
the British metropolis. He supervis-
ed the preparation of the turtles in
the kitchen of the Cecil Hotel. saw
that they were cooked and served

and his expenses and
took the next steamer back TO New
York.

Poker is
Material

The demurrer filed by Attorney
Zurich in the Riepetown gambling
without a license case has brought on
considerable discussion among the
gambling fraternity, with whom it is
the concensus of opinion that there
is "A very material difference be-
tween a stud horse poker game as
stated In the statute and a stud poker
game as mentioned in the Indictment.
In the former, the man alone running
the game is the only one who deals
the cards, while in the latter, all the
players deal them When Mr.. Zurich
filed the demurrer he demonstrated
that there were other things he knew
something about as we'll as the law

DIFFERENCE IN PAPER.

A demurrer was filed by Attorney
Jurich yesterday 10 the indictment of
the state against Beleher, Odolyich
and Kresovich, who are charged with
conducting stud poker game at
Riepetown without license. The
statute calls the game stud horse
poker" and the indictment refers to
1t as stud poker. The demurrer was
taken under adyisement and there
are several interested parties who
think Hoyle could be used to better
advantage in this case than Black
stone.
