HORSES BALKED ON
CRUPPER FOR A BIT

Yesterday two Winnemucca gentle
men went out to Pole creek by team to
spend the day fishing, taking along a
goodly supply of "bait." After a
pleasant days outing, they prepared to
start for home. One of the horses, a
rather common old skate, stood for the
hitcbing up but the other, being a
rather proud animal, objected to having
the crupper inserted in his mouth for
bit. The result was that after spend
ing two hours in an endeavor to get
the obstinate horse harnessed the twain
departed for Golconda afoot, where
they caught freight for home. The
livery stable at once dispatched man
for the team.

F. N. MULLER EXPECTED
HOME THIS WEEK

+. N. Muller, who was operated on
In San Francisco hospital the last of
the month, is expected home the latter
part of the week. Mr. Muller submit
ted to an ordeal that few men could
survive. Before submitting to the sur
geon's knife it was ascertained that
his heart was too weak to permit of an
anesthetic being administered. When
advised of the situation Mr.. Muller
told the doctors that he had come down
to have that rib taken out and for
them to 60 ahead. The medical men ac-
cordingly went to work, while the
patient looked on and bossed the job.
The broken rib was taken out and the
wound sewed up but it is probable that
had Father Adam been confronted with
the same heroic treatment when he was
supplied with a wife that he would
have remained the sole inhabitant of
this mundane sphere.

HISTORY OF FAILURE
OF SOUTHERN BANK

The Bulfrog Banking and Trust
company failde to ooen it's doors on
Tuesday morning., and in lieu thereof
announced that the institution was in
the hands of the state banking board.
The failure includes the bank at
Rhyolite and the branch institution at
Beatty. The action was taken by
Cashier Joe Small, voluntarily, and in
the exercise of his best discretion. The
reason seems to be that the business
was in crippled condition and that
it was no longer practical to keep up
expenses.
Owen Young of Grand Forks, N. d.,
is the president Of the banking COM
pany ,and the chief financier. He has
been carrying the affairs along for
some time and is now depended upon
to meet what loss may be threatened
to the depostors of the concern.
number of Rhyolite business
houses and some mining projects are
sufferers in having their money tiel
up In the closed institution. The exact
condition of the finances is not known
publicly as yet. State Bank Examiner
Van Fleet is busy on the books now
and will return his report to the board
within a few days. II is locally con
sidered that the prospects are bright
for an early settlement in full. No
substantial loans are known of that
could have brought about the embar-
rassment. 1t is probably ease merely
of steady expenses and not enough com
ing In TO meet the same. No official
statement on this subject can be OBJ
tained from any source,-Bullfrog

GREAT STRIKE ON
AT ELY

As result of the Cumberland Ely
Mining Co. refusing to recognize the
scale of wages recently adopted by
the Lane City Miners union, strike
was called at the Veteran mine yester-
day morning and almost all the miners
employed by the company failed to 70
port at the appointed time for going
under ground. When it became known
that strike was on, the management
had sign placed in front of the time
keepers Office, stating that the mine
had been closed. Superintendent Sea-
grave, Of the Veteran, made an in
etfectual attempt to have the men meet
with him yesterday morning and talk
over matters When Seagrave found
it impossible to bring about a meet
ling, he informed the men if they did
not go to work their time checks would
be given them.
Deputy Jackson and Distric Attorney
Reeves took the noon train to the
mines yesterday to be on hand should
any trouble arise. They visited the
different saloons and informed the
proprietors that if they allowed anyone
to become intoxicated the saloon would
be closed. During the day Commission
er Stevens telephoned to the officers
at Riepetown telling them that if
liquor was sold to persons showing any
signs OF intoxication, to let him know
and he would have the commissioners
meet at once and revoke the license Of
the party selling it.
While there was a large number of
the miners at Riepetown during the
day, the officers had no trouble what
ever and telephoned to the officials in
town that there was no evidence of any
trouble brewing and that there was no
reason for any one becoming alarmed.
About 200 of the miners met last
evening at Riepetown and after pro-
longed session, voted to stand by the
wage scale adopted by the Lane City
Miners union. Just as the meeting had
adjourned word was received from the
Veteran that Superintendent Seagrave
had killed man at the mine. As soon
as the report was made known, 200
men started for the mine but they had
gone but short distance, when At
torney Zurich, Officers jackson and
Roberts and Secretary Cox, of the
union, counciled them not to go to the
mine until they had investigated the
trouble. The men acted upon this sug-
gestion and remained in Riepetown,
while the officers went to the scene of
the shooting. On arriving, they were
informed by Engineer Forsay, that two
men came into the hoisting room and
grabbed him by the shoulders and in
the scuffie which followed, gun fell
from his pocket and before the men
realized what had happened he picked
it up. On seeing the gun they COM
menced to run and in order to frighten
them, he fired a shot in the ground.
According to Forsay, one of the men
had gun in his hand at the time they
ran from the building. 1t is claimed
by one of the men who was watching
the company's property, that he also
saw gun in the hand of one of the
men as he passed him.-White Pine
