TONOPAH IS
GOING To BE A
DIVORCE CENTER
THE MONOPOLY WHICH HAS
BEEN HELD BY RENO Co
ING TO BE CUT INTO.

The monopoly that Reno has en-
joyed for number of years as a
divorce center is on the verge of
being cut into a great extent. The
profits that have come to that town
will be cut into, while a portion of
the legal talent that has enjoyed
a good living by furnishing advice
will have to move to other parts.
Tonopah is going to figure in the
future as a divorce center. 1t has
come to light that there are here
at the present time at least three
Divorces establishing residence.
That there are more to follow is a
known fact.
The Bonanza has become &c
quainted with the names of the fair
ones who have tired of the COM
partnership of the men who swore
to protect them, but for reasons
best known to itself desires at this
time to keep that knowledge to it
self That they are folks well
known throughout the social circles
of the country is information that
may be impaired with impunity.
Tonopah welcomes the divorce
colony. There are lawyers here
just as capable of handling the af-
fairs of women who want divorces
as any in the state. 1t is limited
that one of the leading legal lights
is about to close up his other BUSH
ness and make a speciality of Ne
vada divorces. He is at present
handling two of the cases limited at.
AS long as the laws of the state
make it possible for outsiders to Sc
cure divorces in Nevada, Tonopah
might just as well get some of the
outside money. 1t takes no longer
to have the link broken here than
any other city in the state, while
the Divorces will find Tonopah a
much more congenial place than the
city on the Truckee. Here there
are any number of live ones, will
ing to extend themselves little
The reverse is the case in Reno.
Watch Tonopah take her place as
a divorce center before long.

c. H. JACOBS
HAS COMBINATION
TO The SAFE
BUTCHER is WANT.
ED BY THE POLICE OF
THIS CITY.

The local police were searching
the city last evening for one c. H.
Jacobs of Manhattan. 1t appears
that Jacobc and another are in the
butcher business in the northern
camp. Jacobs alone possessed
knowledge of the combination of
the safe. Yesterday evening Jacobs
took an auto for Tonopah. When
his absence was noted, the partner
telephoned the officers here to APP
prehend the man. J However he was
not to be found.
Whether ore not the man sought
for has done anything wrong is not
known at this time, but his actions
would indicate that it might be just
as well for the portion of the firm
left behind that Jacobs be found.
The latter was a passenger on a
Thomas last night to this place. IN
the vicinity of the Halifax mine he
alighted from the automobile and
up to the hour of going to press
was still at large.

SAYS that
HIS Wife WAS
SLANDERED
INTERESTING CASE HEARD YES
TERDAY IN JUSTICE
COURT.

Joe Tori appeared in Judge A.
kinSon's court yesterday, having
been arrested on a warrant sworn
to by Antonia Gasseni, who alleged
that Tori had been spreading ma
licious stories concerning his bet
ter half. Each witness placed ''n
the stand contradicted the other and
at the end of an hour his honor
was considerably in doubt as to who
was the defendant in the suit and
who the plaintiff was. Mr.. Gasseni
stated that Tori had talked about
her while Tori said the lady had
spread lies about him.. Witnesses
for both parties substantiated the
evidence in such a manner that the
court discharged the defendant
from custody and admonished the
whole bunch to cut out the rag
chewing.

CHARLES KNOX
HAS ARRIVED
in TONOP All
PRESIDENT OF THE MONTANA
TONOPAH HERE TO IN
SPECT THE NINE.

President Charles A. Knox of the
Montana-Tonopah mine was an ar
rival in Tonopah yesterday from his
Berkeley home. He at once repair
ed to the Montana club, where he
lounged around preparatory to a
trip through the underground work
ings of the mine.
ITO a representative of the b.
nanza Mr.. Knox stated that no sig
nificance attached to his visit at
this time.
When asked if there was any par
ticular news he could give to the
public concerning the big property
he stated that the Montana-Tono-
pah was speaking for itself.
Mr.. Knox was most assuredly
right when he made that statement.
The mine never looked better than
it does at the present time. The
Indebtedness which hung over the
property for a long time brought
about by the erection of the CON-
pany's mill has been paid off. The
next meeting of the board of direc-
tors will be characterized by a re
port that will show the property to
be in the best possible shape. The
report is about ready at this time
In addition to reciting what has
been done since the last meeting o.
the directors it will contain figures
estimating the amount of tonnage
that may be extracted monthly.
The stock has been quite activ;
of late, due in no small measure
to the Indebtedness having beer
liquidated.
Mr.. Knox will remain in this city
for three or four days after whict
he will return to his Califorri-
home. The gentleman has figured
prominently in the development O
Tonopah and is truly one OF tn,
mine makers of the district.

IS
Being DAMAGED
BY CHILDREN
OFFICERS ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR YOUNGSTERS BREAK
ING WINDOWS.

The officers are on the lookout
for children who have accumulated
the habit of throwing stones
through windows of vacant build
ings. These depredations are
strictly against the Jaw and those
who are caught will be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law. There
are amusements more profitable
than shying stones through win
dows.
One of the buildings that has
been the particular aim of the
throwers is one of the school houses
1t looks like an attack had been
made upon it by an army of inva-
sion. There is no excuse for such
a state of affairs and the officers
are using every precaution to appre
bend the guilty ones. Parents
should warn their children against
such actions lest the former be
compelled to go into their pocket
books and pungle up a heavy fine.
There is law that makes that Of
Tense punishable by fifty days in
jail or a 800 fine, or both Jail and
fine. A couple of extra officers
have been added to the regular
force to capture a trio of bad boys
who indulge in the destructive past
time. Their parents will be COM
PEELED to pungle up if the culprits
are captured, and it is to be hoped
they will be taken in. -

BACK TO LIFE

Machine Which Made Rabbit
Return From the Animal
Heaven.
SCIENCE WAS STARTLED
Exhibition Given Before Committee
Was Highly Successful and the
Dead Bunny Lived
Again.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Dr. Louise
G.. Robinovitch, the young Russian
woman who came here from France
recently and startled medical men OF
this city with her declaration that she
had discovered way to bring the
dead to life, demonstrated to scien-
tific and critical officers of the New
York Edison Company tnat she can
perform wonders with the electric
apparatus she has perfected.
In the opinion of those who saw
the demonstration DR.. Robinovitch
electrocuted a rabbit and brought it
back to life again by rhythmic cleo
trio excitations that caused its heart
and respiratory organs to resume
their functions. She also showed the
advantages OF electricity as an amaze
sthetic.
The officials of the electric conn
pany considered the result most i'm
portant because they suggested a
method of resusitating those en-
ployes who from time to time are fat
| ally shocked in the course of their
duties in power houses and elsewhere.
What the young woman was able
to do with rabbit she claims is pos.
sible with human being as a subject
A few minutes after the rabbit had
been pronounced dead by competent
physicians, 1t was breathing naturally
again, and half an hour after the
fatal shock it was hopping around the
room. little dazed, but very much
alive.
