MANHATTAN EDITOR EVIDENT
LY IN THE WRONG BUSINESS

In commenting on the Humboldt
Stars alleged call down of the Silver
State for "bosting eastern mail order
houses,D the Manhattan Post relates
story of how its editor purchased a
$3.50 diamond ring from an eastern
concern that proved to be practically
worthless. A man who can purchase
diamond rings of that value should be
in the banking business.
While on this subject, however, the
Silver State will take occasion to
state that it does not boost for eastern
mail order houses. Hardly month
passes but what one or more advertise
ments of these concerns are declined
by this paper. The holiday advertise
ment of J. S. Lewis & Co. was accepted
for the reason that this paper carried
no local jewelry adv. and wished to
give its patrons the benefit of the large
stock and reasonable prices of a
thoroughly reliable jewelry firm locat-
ed in neighboring city.

FOR Petitioner

In the matter of the application of
II. E. Orr for a survey of the surface
and underground workings of the prop
erty of the National Mines company
Judge Ducker Saturday night granted
the prayer of the petitioner, stating
that today he would name a board of
three mining engineers to make the
survey. Up to alate hour tins after
noon no order had been filed with the
county clerk, and it is probable the ap-
pointments will not be made before to-
morrow.
When seen today by a representative
of the Silver State, Attornev l.. G.
Campbell, counsel for the National
Mines company, was not prepared to
say whether or not he would apply to
the supreme court for writ of GER
tiorari.

s. P. NO. | HELD
UP BY BANDITS

Train No. /, the Southern Pacific
limited, was held up and robbed at
Reese, station about IL miles west of
Ogden at 11:30 o'clock last evening.
When the limited reached Winnie
mucca at l o'clock this afternoon, it
was boarded Dy representative of the
Silver State, who obtained a hurried
account of the affair from passenger
who attempted to talk the bandits out
OF robbing him when it came his turn
to dig up. Becoming impatient at
the delay, one of the masked men
struck him over the head with his
gun, making a bad scalp wound, and
rendering him unconscious. The rob-
bers then passed on to the next victim,
leaving the "orator' stretched out in
the aisle, bn tin full possession of his
valuables.
The train, which was due to leave
Ogden at 3:40 yesterday afternoon.
was several hours late, pulling out of
the Union station at ii O'Clock. As it
was approaching Reese, the engineer
discovered that the light in the block
signal showed red, and he stopped the
train. Two masked men, heavily
armed, climbed aboard and started the
work of relieving the passengers of
their money. One of the bandits car
ried a Winchester rifle and the other
double. .barrelled shotgun, in addition
to both having several revolvers. AS
they entered the observation ear,
Porter Davis caught hold of the gun
in the hands of one of the men, in
quiring What's the matter?' For
an answer he was shot and instantly
killed. Porter Taylor, who started to
hearing the shot, was fired at several
times, one ball passing through his
right forearm, badly SCATTERING it.
The ROBBERS then passed through the en-
tire train, taking about As minutes for
their work.
After completing their task, the
bandits cut the engine and baggage
car loose from the train and started
back to Ogden, but had not gone far
until they met a freight coming up,
when they abandoned the engine and
made their escape.
As near as could be ascertained by
the train crew, about 81 400 in money
was secured from the passengers.
Before the train left the Winnemuc-
ca station S. j. Mercer, local superin-
tendent for the Western Union, handed
a message to the conductor, which read
as follows:
"This company will accept collect
from your passengers who
were robbed and left without money"
