OF
JAMES CONLISk
MAY NOT live
son is SUMMONED TO LOS AN
GELES YESTERDAY MORN
ING BY TELEGRAM.

James w. Conlisk, of the First
National bank, shortly after return
ing from the depot yesterday morn
ing, having escorted the remains of
Judge Ballet to that site, in the
capacity of pail bearer, received
the sad news that his father was
not expected to live, and request
ing that he leave Immediately for
Los Angles on the 9 O'Clock train.
The dispatch was sent by Mr.. Con-
lisk's brother. The family home is
in the southern California city and
for some time Mr.. Conlisk's father,
John Conlisk, has been far from
we'll. Monday morning Arthur Con-
lisk, a brother, left Rhyolite for
the family home, and it is thought
that he sent the dispatch imme-
diately upon his arrival.
John Conlisk was one of the
pioneer passenger conductors in the
northwest and for many years was
"a familiar figure on the Northern
Pacific trains. He is widely known
in the west, and the news that he
is in a critical condition will be
sadly received by his many friends
James Conlisk of the First National
bank left on the noon train fol
Los Angeles to be at his fathers
bedside.

PLAYING With
REVOLVER YOUTH
SHOOTS SELF
ELEVEN YEAR OLD TOMMY LY.
DON SUSTAINS INJURY THAT
MAY PROVE FATAL.

While playing with a loaded .22
caliber revolver yesterday after
noon about O'Clock, little Tommy
Lydon, the eleven year old son of
T. j. Lydon, accidentally discharged
the weapon and the bullet entered
the abdomen, and caused wound
that may prove fatal. The acct
dent happened near the home of the
family, back of the depot. Tommy
was engaged in playing with a COM
panion of about his own age. He
had been given the weapon several
months ago and at that time it
would not work. His companions,
with the aid of clock spring, man
aged to repair the revolver and
yesterday Tommy was trying his
craftsmanship. Just how the gun
came to be discharged is mystery
but it is supposed that in exam.
lining the mechanism the youth
turned the barrel toward himself
and then accidentally pulled the
trigger. His small companion ran
to the home of the injured lad
and informed Mr.. Lydon of the ac-
cident. The boy was carried to
his home and physician summon
ed, who hurried the patient to the
hospital.
An examination disclosed the fact
hat the bullet had entered about
IN inch above the navel, and after
passing through several intestines
pierced two arteries, grazed the left
Kidney and lodged in the flesh in
he back. The little fellow display
ed wonderful nerve up to the time
he was placed under an anaesthetic
Numerous stitches were required il
joining together the severed intes
tines and everything possible wa!
done to effect his recovery. 1t wa.
impossible to make an attempt tt
extract the bullet as the lad lost ;
great deal Of blood before tn,
wounds had been dressed.
Last evening he became uncon
scious but this was attributed t,
his weakened condition. 1t is fear
ed that peritonitis may result a
the powder entered the wound an
every precaution is being taken t
guard against this complication.
Just about a month ago Mrs
Lydon, the lads mother, passe
away in this city, and with thi
accident, it appears that the famil
is having more than it's share i
the misfortunes of this world. TIL
boy is exceedingly popular, nc
only with his companions of h
own age, but with grown up foil
He is a bright, gentlemanly lit
fellow, and when the skating rim
used to be in existence at the bull
ing now occupied by the Nevat
theater, he attracted quite b
of attention in the manner he wou
defeat opponents in racing.

HAD DREAMS
that CERTAINLY
WERE GREAT
BUM CHECK PASSER MAY SUE
COUNTY FOR FALSE I'M.
PRISONMENT.


day at Goldfield at the request of
Chief of Police Ed Malley, on al
charge of securing goods under false
pretenses, was tried yesterday morn
ing in the justice court and found
guilty. White, who was visitor
in Tonopah for about week, spent
his time in passing checks on local
merchants; the checks later turning
out to be worthless. He induced
the manager of the White House
clothing store to give him a new
corduroy suit for piece of paper
supposed to be worth $25. When
the merchant found out that the
funds White supposed to have on
deposit were only mythical, he hot
footed it to the justice court and
secured warrant.
During the progress of the trial
White desired the court to take an
he desired to go over to the Miz-
pah grill and partake of meal,
as the repast served him at the city
Jail had not agreed with his deli
cate constitution. When asked if
he had the necessary funds he an
swered negatively and insinuated
that he could write another check.
The trial proceeded without de,
lay.
Shortly afterward the defendant
calmly announced that he expected
several million from George Wing
field and was of the opinion that
this amount was in the local Wells
Fargo office and would be delivered
to him on demand, The court stat
ed that sentence would be pro-
nounced this morning, and in the
meanwhile the prisoner could secure
his liberty if he would put up a
5000 bond. To raise that amount
would only be matter of few
minutes, and escorted by Officer
White went to the express Office.
But, strange to relate, the two mil
lion had not arrived nor had the
agent been informed that he could
expect to handle such az amount.
White became quite angry and
threatened his friend Wingfield will
all sorts of vengeance. Owing tt
the lack of finances he was com
, PEELED to forego the pleasure o
asking relief from some of the lead
ing eastern financiers, who, he aver
ed, would gladly help him out 0

Newspaper Statesmen"
Now. l don't know whether you
number among your members only
newspaper men. but men who combine
the profession of the press with ststes-
manship. whether you have among y;u
men who are reformers down to the
ground and at the same time are en-
gagged in handing out their views ana
news suited to their views as states
men correspondents.
IF you haven't this. you lack the
distinguished type of newspaper man.
the distinguished type which am
bound to say, has not contributed 10
the accuracy of news furnished to the
public.
II speak with some knowledge, be-

not exaggerate merely for the purpose
of helping or marring cause. but men
who are in search of news to present it

I am a quarter way through my term,
I have learned, 1 think, good deal
