FRANK GOLDEN
IS STILL NEAR
DEATHS DOOR
CLAIM MADE THAT BEATING RE
CEIVED Is NOT CAUSE OF
PRESENT STATE

The Reno Journal of yesterday
prints the following:
Frank Golden, proprietor of the
Hotel Golden in this city, and
man well known all over the state
of Nevada, lies in room at the
Hotel Golden, lowering between life
and death, with the odds strongly
against him.
Numerous reports as to the cause
of Goldgen's precarious condition
have been circulated. 1t is stated
by his physicians, DR.. Ostroff an,
DR.. Mckenzie, that he is suffering
from liver complaint and DR.. Ort-
rolf, in an interview granted the
Journal last evening, states that
two months ago Mr.. Goldens life
was saved by miracle. At that
time the swelling which had form
ed broke and the puss passed away
and prolonged his life.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Gold
Ell took to his bed following an en-
counter which occurred in the hotel
a short time ago, in which he was
numerically beaten by AL Myers, a
mining man of Goldfield and Los
Angeles, stories have been circulat-
ed to the effect that Mr.. Golden S
condition is the result of this en-
counter In contradiction to this is
the statement of the attending ply
sicians.
The fight which took place in
the Hotel Golden, is said to have
started over a poker game between
| Golden and Myers. 1t is stated by
those who profess to know, thai
Golden and Myers mixed and thai
after things had been quoted down
the fight was reopened and Myers
knocked Golden down, beating hin
terribly about the head and body.
AS to the extent of these injuries
the stories differ. The doctors, wht
should be the most competent testi
money in this regard, state tina
Golden's ankle is sprained, tina
his shoulder was dislocated and tina
he received a cut over the eye, pre-
sumably made by Myers fists.
:, Immediately after the battle, MI
Golden was placed in bed and i
seems now that he may never leav
the bed alive. Yesterday afternoo
1t was reported that he was dyin
and physicians were hastily sum
moned. Father Tubman was ais
called into his room. Later in tn
afternoon Golden rallied and som
hope was held out for him.
He regained consciousness an
then lapsed into an irrational stat,
Mrs. Golden, who remains by HI
, bedside, has not given up hope the
his life may be saved. One phys
clan has stated that there is n
. hope whatever and the others hol
=, out some little encouragement.
. Yesterday afternoon the gran
: jury took cognizance of the matte
o following the oft-repeated stori,
:. that Golden's condition was the r
q suit of the fight following a gan
bling dispute. However, the matte
: was allowed to go over for coup
of days to await developments.
District Attorney WOODBURY. whe
seen last evening, stated that
n investigation would be made imm
diately should Mr.. Golden die. T
took steps to get in touch with Il
y physicians in attendance.
" Chief of Police Hillhouse stat,
that he had heard rumors that NJ
Golden had been injured in a fig
+ In the hotel, but that no complai
i had been made to his departmer
n He stated that an investigate
r would be instituted without del
"iAo tlN ChlIIC lOUh6Q lHCO.
% The present whereabout of Mye
" is mystery. It is understood fro
If good authority that attempts ha
ID been made to locate Myers and tn
r he is not in Goldfield or Tonopa
h 1t is possible that he may be
,e Los Angeles. Myers left Reno
the day following his encounter wi
n. Golden and his destination was g
i en- as being Goldfeld. Since tn
or date nothing has been heard frc
II him.
s. Golden's condition following t
s, encounter with Myers was so critic
" that he could not be removed fro
" the hotel to his home.
