FOOLED
BY HOAX AID

An advertisement in the Reno Jour
nal published the week beginning july
and asking for 100 miners for Austin
has caused a great deal of annoyance.
The ad. purported to come from the
Austin Manhattan Consolidated Min
ing company.
The advertisement was published in
good faith and no one doubted the men
were not wanted until yesterday when
the following letter was received from
Austin, which is self Explanatory:
"Austin, New. July 6.

"The above is a malicious hoax per-
petrated with the intention of placing
The writer in an embarrassing position
and it will certainly work a great hard
ship on anyone who will come here IN
answer to the above advertisement.
There is no such company in Austin,
nor no such man as James Hunter, but
the above advertisement was meant to
convey the impression that the Austin
Manhattan Mining company by its ST.
p~eriutendent, JAS. Humes, was adver-
Using for miners wher such is not the
case. 7 hope You will do your utmost
to correct the mischief this contempt

stranger who mysteriously appeared
earlier in the day at Ralstron' Is under
taking rooms, in Wabash avenue. and
was greeted by Miss Wilson.
"He departed without divulging his
name, but returned later and held a
conference with Inspector LAWN and
Miss Wilson.

the signer Of the bond is the Hedrick

the Bedford building Immediately after
the shooting. A stranger ran into the
Offices of the Pope Coal company, and,
asking permission to use the telephone,
called a number and sent this mes

"He then told George C. Pope, one
of the officials of the company, that he
had been employed by Rigdon to find
Mrs. Deufex. Later he reversed his
statement, declaring he was seeking
Rigdon for Mrs. Deufex. Becoming
more confused he ran out and disap-
peared down the stairway"
The following is a further excerpt
from the anne newspaper:
Here was the situation as presented
after the -postponement of the inquest
until July 2S:
"Rigdon, ifty-nine years old, a real
estate and mine operator, wealthy and
eccentric, is dead from bullets fred by
his own hand, according to the police
theory.
"Mrs. Deufex, 30 years old and at

posed to have been written by her to
have a deep personal interest in Rig
don, is at St. Luke's hospital suffering
from bullet wounds inflicted, it is
charged, by Rigdon. She declared that
she did not know who shot her.
"An information regarding Mrs.
Deufex was carefully guarded at the
hospital. 1t was reported, however,
that she had been visited by two men.
"Mrs. Annie Rigdon, widow of Rig
don, who was supposed to have been
a bachelor, arrived from lie Grand, Ia,
to take charge of the body. She de-
clared that the motive of the shooting
was a mystery to her,

GOLD STRIKE MADE
near YERINGTON

A gold strike, which promises to de
velop into a pay mine, was made this
week by Constantine brothers and
Matt, who are leasing on the Carson
property near Mason Pass, about eight
miles from Yerington, says the Yering-
ton Times. 1t is about a quarter of a
mile from the old Pat Gallagher mine,
and adjoins Boulter's property on the
east.
On the Carson property there are a
number of veins and cross veins, and
considerable work has been done by the
original owner. One shaft was sunk TO
a depth of about 20 feet and fair values
were found, but it is now believed that
this shaft is on a cross vein. and that
the main vein, in which the pay shoot
will be found, has just been opened up
by the ~lessees.
Where the strike was made, Constan-
tine brothers and Matt are down six
feet on a vein five feet wide. The pay
streak is two feet in width and while
no assays have been taken, numerous
paintings have been made by disin-
terested parties, and these indicate
average values of $40 to the ton in
gold. The gold is coarse, many of the
colors being as large as a pin head.

LOCAL END
TO R|GDON
CASE
Woman in the Case, Shot by
Mining Man Who Was
Known in GOIdfieId as
Wife Of Local Broker

There is a Goldfeld end to the SEN
s%ational Rigdon suicide story. now
stirring Chicago. From advices re-
eeived from Chicago last night it has
been discovered that the Amy Young
or Mrs. Alexander Young, also went
by the name of Deufex, who was shot
last Friday by C. w. Rigdon, the Chi
cago broker and mining man, is the
woman who during a stay of several
years in G%oldfeld, was known as the
wife of Harry Hedrick, prominent here
as an early day broker. She came here
during the boom days and for a time
played piano and sang in one of the
many resorts then running. After her
meeting here with Hedrick she was
known as the latter's wife. While she
discontinued her entertainment work
she was often to be seen and heard in
the then Columbia street resorts, her
singing being very attractive.
When Hedrick left Goldfield and took
charge of a newspaper at Rawhide, his
supposed wife accompanied him. Oc-
casionally thereafter she visited in
Goldfeld, but since going east with
Hedrick later, she has not been seen
here. Hedriek became associate edi-
tor of the Mining Financial News, a
New York publication, but dispatches
that he is now in Chicago and
connected with the firm of B. II. Schef-
tells & Co., with Offices in the Woman's
Temple.
The shooting occurred in the offices
of John G.. Filter, a prominent Chicago
real estate man. Much mystery even
vet surrounds the case as the young
woman who was with Mrs. Hedrick or
Mrs. Young, known as Miss Mary Will
has steadfastly refused to give
full details and Rigdon, the man who
did the shooting, is a suicide.
1t has been learned, however, that
the woman who was shot is the
estranged wife of Alexander Young, a
attorney and that she
came to Goldfeld shortly after her
trouble. Whether she ever married
Hedrick is not known positively. She
and the young woman, a blonde, who
was with her, are said to be step-sisters,
the daughters of Mrs. Oscar Turner,
formerly of Washington, d. c., but now
in Evanston, III.
The victim of the shooting ARRAY had
rooms in the old Hotel Goldfeld and
had a narrow escape when that place
burned late in 1906. 1t is said that
her step-sister was also here at that
time and was employed as a stenogra-
pher by D. Mackenzie & Co.
The following from the issue of the
Chicago American printed the day
after that on which the shooting oc-
shows that Hedrick came early
into the mysterious case:
"Still further mystery entered the
case when, before Judge Girten, Miss
Wilson'S bond of $1,000 was signed by
