A sHAPELY COMPLIMENT,

The late Chief Justice Chase was not<
ed for his gallantry. While on a visit to
the South, shortly after the war, he was
introduced to very beautiful woman
who prided herself upon her devotion to
the .'lost cause" Anxious that the
chief justice should know her sentiments,
she remarked, as she gave him her hand,
Mr. Chase, you see before you rebel
who has not been reconstructed.

TIERS LUMBER OVER EN-
TIRE DISTRICT.

During the high wind yesterday
the grand stand at the ball park on
California heights, was completely
demolished and the boards scattered
over the entire neighborhood. The
fence was also blown down and scat
tered likewise.
WithNthe opening of the baseball
season in Tonopah nearly due it
would not be bad idea if number
of baseball fans would meet today
and go to the ball grounds and recon-
struct the grandstand. A party of
about fifty could easily repair the
damage during the afternoon and
have everything in readiness for next
Sunday when the initial game of the
season will be played. Let the boys
assemble at l o'clock on Brougher
and Main and Immediately after the
fire boys contest march with ham
mers, saws and nails to the recrea-
ton grounds and repair the damages.
Fifty men can do the job in two
hours. Do it today. Bring your
saw, hammer and nails.
