AL TALBOT SHOT
IN RENO

AL Talbot, the wehknown proprietor
Of the Gem bowling alley at Reno, to-
day occupies a cot in the Peoples hos.
pital Of that city, while his wife occu-
pies cell in the woman's ward of
the county Jail.
The situation is the result of shoot
ng which occurred in the offices of w.
U. Jones, counsel for Mrs. Talbot,
Thursday evening. The couple had had
differences for some time, which finally
eliminated in an agreement for sep
aration, and it was for the purpose of
discussing division of the property
that the meeting was held in the law
yer's office.
Two shots are alleged to have been
nred, one entering Talbot's right lung,
where it still remains; the physicians
deeming it inexpedient to probe at this
time At first it ws thought that the
injured man had been fatally wounded,
out later reports state that he has raj
he'd and has fair chance Of recover
ing.
Talbot claims that the shooting was
accidental, while Mrs. Talbot processes
ignorance of the whole affair.

.GOLDFIELD "PIKERn WINS
STACK OF WHITE CHECKS

A recent issue Of the Goldfield Trib,
une devoted good share of its first
page In telling the story of how. a
"sphinx-faced" Mexican made a phe-
nomenal winning in a local gambling
hall of a "shoe-string." After win
ming every bet he made for several
deals at faro, sphinx face finally "caii-
ed the turn" for all his money /.
"Stong men turned pale, con-
tinues the article, Gas the nervy game
ster placed his money for the last turn,
calling it eight-tray jack. As the deal
er started to push the cards from the
box the spectators nervously clutched
each other and held their breaths.
Eight tray jack came the turn and it
took all the checks in the rack to settle
the claim. Sphinx-face nonchalantly
pushed the checks over, while clouds of
cigarette smoke poured from between
his impassive lips, and received the
princely sum of $500. After hurried
consultation with the proprietor all the
money except 80 cents was placed in
the joints strong box to his credit, and
he haughtily strobe forth into the
night" or words to that effect.
The Tribune gives the snap away.
There had been a well-defned opinion
throughout the state that the boys
gambled some down in Goldfeld, but it
seems this is mistake.
Here in Winnemucca the Mexican 3
winnings would have represented a
stack of whites, and had he wished to
deposit $500 in the safe he would have
been advised to take the money and
buy beer for the boys.
