Fraak Golden Assaulted

For q second time yesterday after
noon appearance indicated that Frank
Golden, former president Of the defunct
Nye and Ormsby County bank, would
journey to the happy hunting ground
without deing afforded the privilege of
making his last adieu to the depositors in
the bank, now waiting for the promised
dollar for dollar.
Golden arrived from the northern
part of the state yesterday, and during
the course Of his travels in the after
noon, wandered into the Tonopah Liq-
uor company's place of business While
conversing in front of tho bar, former
county treasurer r. F. Gilbert, and his
sixteen-year- old son Charles entered.
Gilbert walked up to Golden and
demanded that the boy, who had quite
a sum of money on deposit in the bank
at the time it suspended business, be
paid his earnings. This Golden refused
to do, and then Gilbert drew revolver,
Dave Holland, who was standing. near
by, grappled with Gilbert. and at the
same time Yelling for help, secured the
weapon. In the meantime, Golden left
the building, somewhat hastily.
Some little time afterwards while in
the Brokers' Exchange bar, Gilbert
walked in and, striding up to Golden,
stated that he wanted to have talk
with the banker.
'FYou can have a talk any time you
want to-" responded Golden. Gilbert
was struggling with friends, but
this did not deter Golden from landing
q blow on the face Of his antagonist.
The bout ended with but the one blow
struck and an officer was summoned to
keep an eye Of safety on the banker, for
it was strongly limited that other
depositors9 would attempt to do him
injury.
The news of the attack spread like

that followed, there was not4a voice
raised censuring Mr.. Gilbert for his
act. No arrests we're made, and at the
present writing no complaint has been
