ton, according to advices received here

day he was assisted in his fight by Will

welt, and the man who downed Duncan
Mckinley, "stand- patter' of note, for
the Republican nomination for member
of congress from California.

Wants DIVORCE
FROM GAVAGAN

Los ANGELES, Aug. 2s.-Clarnie
M. Gavagan, until last year a resident
of Berkeley, brought annulment of
marriage proceedings here Yesterday
against John W. Gavagan, and the
hearing developed an unusual romance
with a bitter ending. The girl told
Judge Cole that she and Gavagan, who
had known zach other but FIVE DAYS,
though they had, been corresponding
for a month, were married by Justice
Quinn in Oakland in December, 1905.
She asserts that she was cruelty i'm
posed upon in that Gavagan represent
himself to be a mining man with
interests in Blair and Tonopah,
and she soon found that instead he own
ed the most disreputable dive in that
section, and had himself an unsavory
reputation. Gavagan, she testified, told
he had been divorced from a for
wife, but she found him to be still
a married man under the Nevada laws.
She alleged also that he is a confirmed
drunkard and an undesirable character
generally. He did not appear. The
took the case under advisement.

INJUNCTION STOPS
CONSTRUCTION WORK

BISHOP, August 23.-To evade the
payment of a So fee the Hydro Electric
company, that is constructing a large
plant in Mono county, has had an in
junction served on them by the forest
department, for constructing a pipe
line in the reserve, without first having
applied for a permit and all construc-
tion work has been stopped.
The rules of that branch of the gov
eminent department, demand that a
permit be secured in such instances.
The officials of the electric company
were notified of this ruling, but paid
no attention to the forest service. A
short time ago the forest officers visit
ed the men at the head of the company,
with no satisfaction. The injunction
followed and was issued by the courts
of San Francisco. How long if will tie
up the work, is not known.
The management of the electric com
pany could have avoided the entire
legal proceedings by asking for a per-
NIT to construct the works in the for
est reserve.

1.-The language of this clause is plain
and specific. In our opinion it permits
all persons who are on our payroll to
carry concealed weapons.
Faithfully,
CAMPBELL, NELSON & BROWN,
"By HUGH H. BROWN"
Mr.. Hanlin, when the above letter
was written, was and still is the gen
eral superintendent of the Tonopah &
Goldfeld Railroad company. A strike
of the union men in the employ Of the
railroad, against a reduction in wages,
was then in progress. The union men
were forced to capitulate.
Evidently, in Mr., Browns opinion,
every person who is ON the payroll Of
a railroad company, even if he be a
section hand, a baggage master or a
station agent, and whether he be on
duty or not, may, under the law, carry
a concealed weapon. However, in rul-
ing upon the matter, Judge Averill held
to the contrary.
Mr.. Browns position illustrates my
point that, however, upright he may be,
his connection with the railroads would
naturally develop the habit of safe
guarding their interests and deprive
him of the impartial attitude necessary
for the protection of the rights and in
~terests of the people.
Again emphasizing my complete free
dom from all corporation affiliations or
influences, and the fact that am un-
der obligations to no man or set OF
men. and that ] stand squarely for the
peoples rights, ] respectfully ask for
your suffrage at the primaries.
Sincerely yours,
GEORGE SPRINGMEYER.

cit is quite apparent to me from my
knowledge of the primary election law
that there is a misunderstanding by the
public at large as to the objects and
purposes of the law. This probably
arises from the fast that the public
do not distinguish between a primary
law and a general election law.
"This primary law was passed to do
away entirely with political conventions
and to take the place of the primaries
as heretofore held by political parties.
To illustrate: Under the present pri-
mary law instead of having a county
convention every Republican in the
county of Esmeralda is a delegate to
"A county convention. and when he goes
to the polls at the primary he votes
just as he would vote had he been
elected a delegate to a Republican
county convention as heretofore held
by hat party.
"When he goes to the polls he de
mands a Republican primary ticket,
which ticket contains the names of the
various candidates whose nomination
papers, as Republicans, put them on the
ticket for such office as they wish to
run for. The ~elector or voter then
gets a Republican ticket and places
his cross after such names as he de
sires to vote for. If there is an Office
for which no nomination papers have
been filed on his party ticket he may
write in any name he sees fit for that
office. If he is not satisfied with the
persons seeking the nomination for any
Office whose names are on the ticket he
may write in any name he desires to
vote for that office, whether such name
be a Republican or Democratic candi-
date.
"But if he writes the name of a
Democrat on a Republican ballot he
simply designates such name as a Re
publican nominee and the vote shall be
counted as a Republican vote for a
Republican candidate.
s'The officers of the election in can,
wasting the vote canvass all the Repub-
lican votes by themselves and all the
Democrat tickets and all the Socialist
tickets by themselves, and no vote east
on a Republican ballot can be tailed IN

Curtain call after curtain cali were fitting testimonials of appreciation on the part of the good sized audience, and fashionable one at that, which greeted Blanche Walsh and a most capable company at the Elks Theater last night. The Other Woman re- garded by critics as one of the strong est dramas produced for some years. was the offering and in it Miss Walsh's admirers believe that she has a stronger bill than her former Sar- dou successes, Resurrection 5.,aThe Test and others. The play is worthy of the art of this famous emotional actress and is an artistic treat. l. is by the we'll known magaz;n.. writ CT, Frederic Arnold Runner. It is a powerful drama based on a woman's sacrifice for love as it's theme It is not problem play, as one would suppose but it deals with problem -nevertheless the probleai1 of mans love for a woman who is not his wife. It Is the development of love story with the other woman as the prin. cipal figure.
 In the leading role Ms Walsh sur passes her former work here. She meets every emotional requirement. of the role. She enters into hec work with an earneStness that has charac- terized her one of the greatest ac- tresses on the American stage. As
 Eleanor Gates she is charming. The honors of the star are shared by Nan- nette COmstock. Howard Gates and Nellie Butler. No better attraction has been seen in this city in years.
