GEORGE HINE KILLED At CARLIN

George Hine, a Southern Pacific
switchman at Carlin, was run over
by the switch engine this morning
and so badly injured that he died a
short time afterward. The partic-
uIarS, as we learned them from DR..
Hood, are about as follows:
Hine had loaded some timbers 8
or 10 feet long on the tender of
the engine to take to the ball
grounds. He took his position on
the tender behind the timbers.
The timbcrs projected over the side
of the tender. AS the engine
backed up, n end of the timber
struck freight car and knocked
Hine off the tender. He fell on
the track and the engine passed
over his right arm, right thigh and
left ankle, badly crushing them,
and other wise injuring him.
An engine and caboOse we're i'm
mcditaly despatched to Elko for a
physician. DR.. Hood responded, but
Mr.. Hine died shortly after the DR..
reached ais bedside.
N line was highly respected
ty all who knew him and lis un
timely death has cast a gloom oveI
Carlin. He leaves a wife and young
child and an aged mother, whom
he was caring for, to mourn hi
loss. They have the sincere sym.
pathy of a large circle of friends il

MRS. PETTY
COMMITS SUICIDE

Between 3 and a o'clock Thurs
day afternoon Mrs. Roma Carrie
Petty, a sister of Mrs. T. S. Park,
committed suicide at Weiland
station on the Tuscarora road by
shooting herself with a small 80
caliber Colts revolver.
The particulars as we learned
them from Mr.. Park are as follows:
Mrs. Park and Mrs. Petty were in
a room up stairs talking when they
heard a team coming. Mrs. Petty
went down stair to see who it was.
She returned and told Mrs. Park
that it was Mr.. and Mrs. Enos
Esquire. Mrs. Park then went
out and was talking to Mr.. Esquire
when a shot was heard She
Immediately returned to the house
and went up stars. On entering
the room, she left few minutes be-
fore she saw her sister lying on
the bed dead with her left hand
partially over the pistol with which
she had fired the shot Mrs Petty
was left handed. She had placed
the pistol just above the left ear
and pulled the trigger. The
bullet passed clear through her
head and lodged in her hair, Just
above the right ear. Death was
instanous.
Mr.. Park left home in the MORN
ing and when he returned about
300 in the afternoon, Mrs. Petty
was dead. She seemed to be in
her usual spirits and Mrs. Park
had not noticed anything unsual
about her during the day.
She was 33 years of age and had
been staying with her sister since
the 4th of last May. She had been
divorced from her husband and it
is possible that brooding over her
trouble unsettled her mind She
leaves a father, mother and other
relatives in Louisville, Ketucky,
beside her sister here.
The remains were brought in
last night and are now being pre-
pared for shipment to her old home
tomorrow.
At the urgent request of Mrs.
Park, no inquest was held by
Coroner Morgan.

BY a vote of 200 to l26. the

railroad bill as amended in tho

gehGS voted for the bill. Fo~urt.eo
democrats. among whom was Con-
gresham Bartlett, voted for the
bill.
several of the republican papers
claim that Senator Newland's re-
cen visit to Reno was to restore
harmony in the democratic ranks
and as a result Governor Dicker-
son will not be a candidate to sue
coed himself. We have not seen
any statement of the governor to
that effect.
Senator Nixon's name appears in
the list of republican senator's who
are reported to be in favor of the

this fact and congratulate Mr..

Sparrows Kill Turkeys.

English sparrows kill turkeys in Rhode Island, according to Dr. Philip B. Hadey. They convey the black. lead" disease, whose fatal prevalence among turkeys is threatening the ruin of turkey farming in the state. Dr. Hadley says that poultry, generally game birds, and some wild song birds, have the amoeba or coccidium. which causes the disease. and so why he lays all the blame to the English sparrow does not quite appear, unless because the little pest has earned so bad a name on other accounts. The British grouse are troubled in way similar to the turkey. And the seri- ousness of the case Is illustrated by Dr. Hadley in the statement that whereas 30 years ago Block island alone used to send out more than 40.- 900 pounds a year, the turkeys now raised there can only be counted by doLsns.
