Gone To Sleep:

On Monday morning Oct. 4th,

of death reached the home OF
of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Ferguson
and took from them their darl
ing little baby girl Mammie Lou.
ise.
There's pair of little hands,
Laid to rest for ever more.
There's two pearly dimpled cheeks,
Where rich blossoming is o. er.
Death has sealed two little eyes,
Which will no more smile or weep.
Tiny windows of the Soul,
Little baby's gone to sleep.
Angel bore it safely home,
So for it, we will not weep.
Gently to the doorway come,
Little baby's gone to sleep.
There's another Bud removed,
Ere it felt the blight of sin.
Through the door the Angel wend.
Darling baby has passed in.
She has reached the golden shore,
Crossed the river cold and deep.
Angel bore her safely Ger.
Little baby gone to sleep.
She will wake in fairer land.
Where the Angel band doth sing,
There the flowers 1t will expand.
There will all perfection bring.
Far beyond the azure skies,
Where the tiny star eyes peep.
lFrom all earth's cares, doubts or fears
!, Little baby's gone to sleep"

were doing you favor if they

Mr.. Rickard, "but | am assured that
the fight can be held in. Utah and If
that is the case l think the Jcifries
Johnson contest will be held in Salt

well known business men in Salt Lake
City had guaranteed to him no finan-
cial loss would be sustained by having
the contest hei I in their city
Mr.. Rickard said that Jimmie Cof
froth IS not IN any way interested in
the fight but that if i. were held m
California it probably would be in his
Colma arena, which would be enlarged

George Little, Sam Berger, represent
ing Jeffries, the stakeholder and Others

70 BE NO FUEL
FAMINE IN LOVELoCK

The fore part of this week, with all
the local fuel dealers out of coal, and
great newspaper reports of a threaten
ed railroad strike over the country, a
fuel famine here did not look imprb
able. Plenty of fuel to meet all de-
nands will soon be at hand. The
Lovelock Mercantile company have
two cars of coal, billed from Rock
springs On he I'd and Sd, and this
shipment will probably arrive before
this issue of the Tribune reaches its
readers. The Frey Lumber company
have consignment of five cars oil
coal, some of which has probably al
ready arrived. The Tonopah Lumber
company also have coal consigned to
Lovelock, so that there need be no
fears of fuel famine in Lovelock.

PROSPECTS FOR this
TOWN GOOD
NEW YEAR WILL OPEN
AUSPICIoUSLY FOR LOvELOCK
Many Men Will Be Employed on Vari
Gus Works by Middle of Next
January.

The year 1910 will open auspiciously
in Lovelock and by the middle of the
first month of the year many men will
be employed on various industrial
propositions. The building of the
Lovelock sewerage system, the gravel
hauling at the pit few miles below
town and the gypsum hauling north
east of town will keep large force
of men at work continuously for sew
eral months. Railroad employees are
authority for the statement that about
so men will be employed in connection
with the gravel hauling for the next
four months, and the fact that the
contract for the gypsum hauling calls
for the delivery of minimum of a
hundred tons of crushed ore day to
the railroad indicates that substantial
force of men will be required on this
work. At this writing it is little ear
ly to figure out how many men will be
employed in the construction of the
sewers. but the force will not be small
at any rate, and this work should be
we'll begun by the middle Of next
month.

PLAY FOR
BENEFIT OF THE CHURCH

The play given down the valley last
Saturday night, at the Big Meadow
school house, was very successful.
Nearly $50 was netted for the church
cause, and those who attended were
well entertained by the clever acting
of the characters in the play, "The
Last Loaf"
Not very many people from town at
tended, although many desired to vat
ness the play. Their failure to attend
was probably due to the distance,
seven miles, and no means of transpor,
tation. 1t was suggested that large
wagon be sent down from town in or
der to give those who desired to go an
opportunity to get there, but this was
not done.

"Well, if this be the beginning of

recorded by the United States weather
bureau thermometers. The mercury
dropped to s degrees above zero.
Thermometers in various parts of
town recorded a lower temperature
than this, one instrument showing a
temperature of below Zero The tenn
perature was probably as indicated by
the weather bureau thermometers, for
they are exact. The latter part of this
week the temperature has moderated
but freezing weather will probably
follow.
Skating will soon be bidding for a
place in Lovelock amusements. The
slough is already frozen over, but not
hard enough yet to permit of skating.

JAPS In DEADLY COMBAT
AT Mill CITY
1From Winnemucca Silver state.)

(From Winnemucca Silver State.)
At 9 O'Clock last evening, two Jap
anese laborers engaged in an alterca-
ton at Inlay which resulted in the
death of s. Tanituzi and the arrest of
I. Shimasaki.
From eye witnesses to the affair it
appears that the dead man owed the
other $50, and that the two men en-
gagged in wordy argument over the
affair. 1t is claimed that Tanifuzi,
who had knife in one hand, grasped
Shimisaki with the other, when the
latter whipped out knife and stab
he'd the formc- three times, producing
almost instant death.
Deputy Sheriff Rich was soon at the
scene and placed Shamisaki under ar
rest and notified the coroner.
Coroner Robins went down to Inlay
on No. S this morning, returning with
the body on freight before noon. On
the same train Deputy Sheriff Rich
CdHt W tOWu WIN Hlo huh
turned him over to the custody of
Sheriff Lamb.
The two men were employed by the
Southern Pacific in an extra ballast
ing gang at Inlay, the dead man work
ing as laborer and Shiimisaki as cook
for the men. The killing took place
in boarding car.
This afternoon Coroner Robins en-
pannelled jury to hold an inquest on
the remains of the dead man. After
hearing the testimony of one witness,
further deliberations were adjourned
until 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
From the eviderce of the witness ex-
amined, the homicide appeared to have
been clear case of self fdefense.
