pah Bonanza, Tonopah, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-In the edition OF
your paper on August % you stat
ed as preface to an article that ap-
peared therein that the columns OF
your paper were at the disposal of
candidates for office for such let
tiers as they desire to have pub
lished. In other words the paper
is entirely impartial until after the
primaries. In the issue above re-
ferred to there appeared a letter
from Mr.. George Springmeyer re-
fiecting upon the integrity of his
opponent, and which letter is but
the last to date of a series of at
tacks upon the character and honor
of Mr.. Hugh Brown. They have
been scurrilous, nasty, and
wreaking with the filth of black
guardism They have not emanat-
ed from healthy mind nor sprung
from a noble purpose.
With your permission, then, let
me voice the sentiment of this COM
munity and of the state at large
without regard to political affilia-
ton, that such fight as is now
being waged by Mr.. Springmeyer
is devoid of reason or principle,
and can reflect upon no one but
himself. So revolving have his
methods been and so fallacious his
statements that many have resent
ed their continuance by either re-
turning to Mr.. Springmeyer's Of
fee the letters they have received
or have communicated with him
personally in a manner to show
their disapproval and disgust.

GIVES FORMER TONOPAH
RESIDENT A BAD NAME

From the Los Angeles papers of
a recent date the following, which
refers to a former well-known res
ident of Tonopah, is extracted:
Clarnie NJ Tracey, until last
year resident of Berkeley,
brought annulm ent-of-marriage pro-
ceedings here Tuesday against John
w. Gavagan, and the hearing de-
veloped an unusual romance with a
bitter ending. The girl told Judge
Cole that she and Gavagan, who
had known each other but five
days, though they had been CORE
spending for a month, were mar
ried by Justice Quinn in Oakland
in December, 1908.
She asserts that she was cruelty
imposed upon in that Gavagan rep
resented himself to be a mining
man with large interests in Blair
and Tonopah, and she soon found
that instead he owned the most
disreputable dive in that section,
and had an unsayory reputation.
Gavagan, she testified told her
that he had been divorced from a
former wife, but she found him to
be still married under the laws of
Nevada. She alleges also that he
is confirmed drunkard and an I'M
desirable character generally. He

Furthermore, I believe the in
