DISPATCH SAYS FINAL WORD
HAS BEEN RECEIVED IN
SOUTHERN CAMP.

A special dispatch received from
Goldfield last evening, announced
the fact that the Tonopah and
Goldfield railroad shops would be
reconstructed in that city. The ad-
vices were to the effect that word
had been received from Philadel-
phia to that effect and that work
would begin at once. On the heels
of this announcement came word
that number of Tonopah and
Tidewater and Las Vegas railroad
men would arrive in Tonopah this
morning in am endeavor to secure
business for their respective roads
Local officials of the T. & G
were unable to confirm the report
and stated that they had heard
nothing of late concerning the site
of the shops.

MAY EXHUME
and SHIP BODY
TO The COAST
UNCLE OF JOHN MOLLAR AR
RIVES To INVESTIGATES
DEATH.

H. KRUGER, an uncle of John
Mollar, who suicided several weeks
ago by hanging himself, arrived
yesterday from San Francisco to
inquire into the facts of the death
of his relative. 1t appears that Mr..
Kureger was notified of Mollar's
death and daily expected the body
to arrive in San Francisco. The
journeyman butchers union of that
city telegraphed the coroner of
this city to ship the remains but
owing to the absence of funds to
defray the expense, it was impos-
sible to comply with the request.
Mr.. Kruger is accompanied by
j. r. Keaton, an undertaken OF
San Francisco, sent here by the
butchers union, to have the body
eXhumed and shipped to the coast
for interment. A consultation was
held yesterday with the authori
ties and it is possible that the
plan will be abandoned owing tt
the cost. 1t was further learned
yesterday that Mollar had a sun
of about $500 on deposit in ;
San Francisco bank.

TWO SLAVONIANS
ARE ARRESTED FOR
CARRYING GUNS
BROTHERS OF DAN DIMICK
WILL HAVE THEIR TRIAL
TODAY.

George Kolick yesterday swore to
a complaint charging Tom and
George Dimick with carrying con-
cealed weapons. The two men are
brothers of Dan Dimick, who shot
John Kolick last week in a row,
involving a family quarrel. The
two men were placed under arrest
and their case will be called in the
justice court today.
1t now appears that there is a
great deal more to the shooting
case than was originally supposed
and indications point to future de-
velopments Kolick, who is con,
fined to the hospital, suffered mi.

a good chance for recovering and
the trial of Dan Dimick has beer
postponed until he is able to ap.
pear and testify.

SNOW STORM
PUTS A STOP TO
STAR GAZING
HALLEY'S COMET COULD NOT
BE LOCATED LAST EVEN
ING.

Last nights snow storm put an
end to the comet business tempo
rarily, but Sunday evening, when
the sky was somewhat clearer, !
points of vantage about town were
thronged with gazers at the new
celestial visitor. The announcement
in Sundays Bonanza of the comet
came so suddenly that good many
people doubted the whole thing un-
til they found visual confirmation
that evening.
AS is always the case when a
comet comes along, a good many
people begin to worry about its
striking the earth and consigning
us all to the demnition bow-wows.
But, after all, there isn't much dan
ger of that. And apropos of this
matter, the last of the Saturday
Evening Post has an article that
proves particularly timely. The
Post says:
1T seems practically certain that
during the night of May Is the
earth will pass through the tail OF
Halley's comet, which is now speed
: ing toward the earth. What will
happen? Nothing at all. A comets
tail is so diaphanous that compared
5 with it the thinnest haze on the
horizon is like dense blanket.
2 tail may measure sixty million
f miles in length. and yet if com
+. pressed it could be packed in ;
4 trunk.
: THE earth has passed through
t comets tail more than once, an
each time no one was the wiser un
n til the astronomers announced tn
y fact months later.
: The last passages of this kin
d occurred in 1919 and 1861. S
1t far as actual collision with tn
l. head of comet is concerned tn
1t possibility is SO remote that onl
1t curious mathematician bother
n about it, Arago concluded that tn
r chances are roughly two hundre
is and eighty-one million chances
lie one, and Babinet soothingly figure
that the possibility is likely to b.
lie come probability but once in fl
al teen million years. A blind ma
IL bent on duck shooting is more Xix
lie ly to bring down a bird than
mt the earth of hitting a comet.
r. Professor William H. pickle
go ing, of Harvard, has recently a
tn tackled the problem anew. He est
ed mates that the core of one com
no in every one hundred million yea
n would strike the earth, and that '
re should expect to be struck by t
ed core of a visible comet once
en- about four hundred million veal
1t Since animal life has existed on t
ny earth for about one hundred m
ut lion years, Pickering points o
that a considerable number of c.
his lisions must have occurred duri
lty that interval, evidently without pl
ey ducing any very serious results. F"
