emitting clouds of soft coal smoke.

In the immediate vicinity are great
factories which belch forth black smoke

Ash and garbage dumps are heaped at
every turn. A number of concerns that
use large quantities of sawdust are in
evidence. AS the wind is always in a
gale inthe vicinity, the air is laden with
the flying particles of this refuse, which
BLINDS the eyes of people whose business
takes them to that part Of the city. The

Ice Masker SAat

About 8 o'clock last evening, there
was shooting scrape in the red light
district. From what we are able to
learn of the affair it appears that May
Stanley and her lover, Joe Masker, had
a quarrel at Jessie Clark's house and
that she. took two shots at him, one of
which went. through Masker's right
shoulder. Unfortunately the wound is
not q fatal one. '"..
We also learned that the couple were
staying at Helen Browns place and
that last night the woman got drunk
and went to Jessie Clark's house. Mas
ker telephoned her to come home and
she abused him over the phone and
finally invited him to come after her.
He went and the quarrel and the shoot
ing followed. This morning both told

to $19.4O. .... .....
At this writing, no arrests have been
made, but the matter will be thoroughly
investigated by the officers with the
view of Furnishing both Masker and the
woman, and especially her for not doing

of the officers told us this morning.

Wanted Paper For His Silver

He played the part of a stick horse
in the "Babes in Toyland" and being
perfect in the role didn't have to appear
for the Friday afternoon rehearsal
While taking in the Winnemucca sights,
novel to a callow Eastern youth, he
dropped into local thirst parlor, bought
himself lemonade and stood around
for while watching the games which
were in progress.
Doubtless the sight of so much silver
on the roulette table brought it to his
mind. Addressing the dealer, the babe
in Toyland inquired;
1--WE were paid off today and I'm not
used to carrying around so much silver;
besides, it's heavy. Could you oblige
me by changing it into paper money?
Were little shy on bills today"
replied the dealer, "but guess we can
accommodate you. How. much paper
moneyrdo you want?"
The babe reached in his pocket, drew
out four silver dollars and passed them
across the table, asking: Can you give
me paper money for these?"
The expression on the dealers face
for moment was a study. But he
didn't spoil the situation by even a
flicker of smile as he showed back the
babes four dollars, saying:
you're in the wrong place, sonny.
The postoffice is just up the street.
The postmaster will give you stamps
for the whole roll. But won't you have
a drink before you go?'
The dealer ordered a long teddy and
the youth with the surplus of silver
thought he would have another lem
onade.
In spite of such incidents as this there
are people foolish enough to insist that
the Fasteners don't understand the
silver question. Humboldt Star
