INITIAL BALL OF
The MACHINISTS
Was A SUCCESS
BOYS OF SAGEBRUSH LODGE no
G3S ARE EXCELLENT
ENTERTAINERS

Sagebrush lodge No. 638, Inter-
national Association of Machinists.
made its initial appearance before the
Tonopah public last evening in the
role of entertainer. That the mem
bers acquitted themselves creditably
was eyinced by the crowded condi-
ton of the hall and the remarks of
the dancers, who one and all de-
clared the affair to be the best yet
rendered the dance loving public
this year.
The interior Of the Miners Elk
change hall had been handsomely
decorated with the national eolors.
while on the wall opposite the or
chestra. the numerals of the lodge
stood out in bold relief with the
American flag as a background.
Nor was the attendance confined
to home people, for a large delega-
ton was in evidence from Millers,
while the other outside towns had
representatives present. The music
could not have been better and with
the accommodating floor committee,
which numbered every member of
the machinists organization, there

dancers.
Every conceivable comfort was
carefully looked after and if one
did not enjoy the evening it was
ones own fault. Refreshments were
served to the ladies', which was
truly an innovation in Tonopah.
The dancing was kept up until a
late hour and then it was only the
WEAKNESS of the trippers of the light
fantastic that caused the final ces-
sation of the music. The next an
nual dance of the machinists will be
an event long loked forward to.
The following committees had the
affair in charge, and it is to them
that the credit is due for the en-.
joyable evening:

TWO COACHES CARRY
VISITORS TO GOLDFIELD

Two coaches loaded to the guards
departed from the local depot last
evening, bearing the Tonopah dele
cation of Pythians and Others who
were to attend the D. o. K. X.
dance in Goldfield. There we're
some twenty of the boys attired in
the ID. o. K. K. costume and each
carried a copious quantity of red
fire. The drizzling snow storm had
no effect On the bunch and in fact
it drew out several pecnle who con-
ceiyed a sudden desire to journey to
the southern city.
Advices received from Goldfield
early this morning stated that the
Tonopah bunch were met at the Ca
sey hotel by a committee and there
formed in line for a parade. About
fifty members of the Dramatic Or
der of K%horassan joined in with the
the Tonopah members. Several boys
from the Eagles drum corps were
also in line and helped to make a
noise. The parade was headed by
the Goldfield band and after march
ing through the streets, disbanded
at the Ross-Holley hall, where the
dance was in progress.
The special train returned at 1870
this morning.

TONOPAH WAS
THERE WITH BELLS
At GOLDFIELD
ID. o. X. X. SHOWN 4 GOOD TIME
BY MEMBERS IN SOUTH
ERN CITY

The members of the Tonopah del
egation, who invaded Goldfeld
Thursday night to attend the grand
BAH given by the Dramatic Order
knights Of Khorassan, were treated
to the time of their lives. Each in
diyidual was taken in hand by a
Goldheld member. and after that
there was nothing but enjoyment.
The following is from the Goldfield
Tribune of yesterday morning and
is relative to the Tonopah invasion:
The Dramatic Order of Knights
of Khorassan came to town last eve
ming from Tonopah and other out
lying posts of the desert country.
They came with bells on their fin
gers and rings on their toes, and
for a time ii seemed as if the storm
king had sem some Of his legions
down on the crest of the first snow
wave of the season. TOnopah deliy-
cred the goods with all the JUNCTION
that the bunch is capable of, and
they were not a bit dismayed by
the weather. 1t had been planned
to hold a street parade in the ele-
giant, costumes of the order, but
when the snow packed down to the
depth of several inches it was be-
lieved the boys would forego this
part of the program. However, the
visitors were not of that kind OF
stuff, and carried the arrangements
out to the letter to the accompani-
ment of red fire and birthstone that
would have graced the vestibule OF
the Inferno.
The Tonopah knights came ovel
on a special train and rode up town
in closed coaches and concealed the
gaudy costumes that would have
earned the undying admiration oil
artists who revel in high lights. II
is too bad. after all, that the visit,
ing Knights did not have a chance
to display their gaily caparisonet

PRINTING THE TRuTH

Some people seem to think an ed
itor can print the truth in his pa.
per if he wants to. This is a mis-
cake. An Indiana editor tried il
once and was invited to leave town.
Following are some Of the items.
John BONN, the LATEST man in
town, made a trip to Belville.
John Doyl, our groceryman, is do
ing poor business. His store is dir
ty and dusty and noxiously odifer-
Gus. How a he expect to do
much?
Reverend Styx preached last sun
day on charity. His sermon was
very punk.
Dave Shunkey died at his home
in this place. The doctor gave Il
out as heart failure, but the truth
Is he was drunk and whiskey killed
him.
Married-Miss Sylvia Rhodan and
James Canadian, last Saturday at
the Baptist parsonage, The bride
is a very ordinary town girl and
knows no more about cooking than
a rabbit and helped her moth
er o than three days in her life.
She is not a beauty by any means
and has a gait like a duck. The
groom is a well known up-to-date
loafer. He has been living off the
old folks all his life and doesn't
amount to shucks. They will have
a hard life.

JURY IN The
MANGANA MJRDER
CASE SECURED
TAKING OF TESTIMONY STARTS
At EVENING SESSION OF
COURT

The jury in the case OF Ascen-
ton Mangana, charged with murder,
was secured last evening and was
closely followed by the starting of
the state to present its testimony.
The entire days session of the court
was spent in the examination of
veniremen and when the last juror
had been sworn, exactly thirty tales
men had been examined There
were but four peremptory challenges
exercised, both defense and state
using two each.
The jury that is to try the case
is made up as follows: ]. w. Skel-
ton, Ben Edwards, S. ], Tanner, e.
EDobrowsky, Paul LosKamp, j. l..
Hughes, j. A. Cole. H. Hicks, Gill
bert c. Rennie, James Grimes, Geo.
T. Pierce and Ernest J.. Hoxsie.
e. C, Cook and Edward Lyons
were challenged by the defense,
while ]. S. Barclay and James M.
Meighan were excused by the state.
DR.. Bowen was the first witness
called by the state and he testified
as to the nature of the wounds
found on the body of Byron Nelson,
and also as to the position in which
the remains were lying. At the con-
~clusion of DR.. Bowen's testimony,
the court adjourned until this morn
ing, and the jury was locked up for
the night.
Bowen said that he was called to
Iceland and examined the bodies of
both Nelson and Stilwell. The for
mer had been cut Ave times in the
neck, and DR.. Bowen said that any
one of the wounds would have been
fatal. Besides these cuts there were
several on the back. Stilwell was
also stabbed four times in the neck
and likewise each Of these cuts
would have been fatal. He gave it
as his opinion that the parties who
did the stabbing knew where to
strike "a decisive blow.
Throughout the entire proceedings
Mangana, the defendant, has re-
tanned a posture of Indifference. He
does not understand the English
language and at times seems to be
entirely oblivious of his surround
ings. Occasionally he will glance at
the jury box and from the briefness
of these glances, evidently does not
realize that his fate rests with the
twelve men therein. Mangana, who
is a Mexican, bears more resem-
blance to an Indian.
