ANOTHER FATAL
HUNTING ACC|OEN

The body of an Italian named
Pete Declementi was found Mon
day on Rock creek. ten miles south
of GolcLnda. under conditions
which indicated that he Lad &C.
cidentally killed himself while
out hunting. His shotgun lay
only a short distance from the body
and a nasty wound in his left thigh
was the unmistakable cause of the
mans death. The body was
brought to Golconda and Under
taker Miller of this place was
summoned and prepared the body
for burial Mr.. Miller stated
that it was his opinion that the
man had been dead or at least
eight days. In preparing the body
the gun wads were found in the
wound. which proves almost cor
clusiVey that the man had shot
himself by the accidental discharge
of his gun. The shot entered his
leg at the thigh severing the main
artery and evidently causing him
to bleed to death. .'..'
The deceased had been working
for some time at Bernard's ranch
on Rock Creek and it is believed
that he was hunting, when the &C.
cident occurred. The deceased has
a brother working for Thomas
Nelson, who has been notified of
the accident and who is expected
to arrive at Golconda to take

AUTOMOBILE TRAIN" .:r
a.. CROSSING CONTINENT

How subtly the automobile has
invaded the field of commercial
transportation is shown by the
stat on Monday of last week of q
caravan of touring cars on trans.
continental journey from New York
to Los Angeles. carrying two score
passengers who have no interest
in the machine, but who have paid
their fare for the journey in
exactly the same way as they
would buy railroad or a steam
ship ticket.
BY bringing the possibilities '6f
automobile travel to the general
public, those who do not have their
private car. industry has intro;
duced fourth factor into the
transportation problem. go The
prairie schooner was the first, Me
steam train was a second, Y the
electric train is the third factor,
and now comes the gasoline train
as the latest thing in the field.
While it is true that coast-to-coast
journeys have been made before
this. it is also true that they were
private enterprises. But the
present tour is public thing. 1t
is conducted by touring agency
and the participants were chosen
neither by invitation nor to earn a
salary. The project marks The
gasoline car as common carrier
of interstate traffic and is, for that
reason. most significant. "- -

A GLOOMY TOPIC

There are many subjects that
might appropriately come under
this head. The one we would
notice now is in connection with
funeral occasions. There are
various things that need reform
ing and should be candidly con-
sidered. r..
When death enters our homes
and its pail is cast upon us we
are naturally sensitive. and
perhaps may not be in a mood to
listen to any innovations or
changes that may seem to clash
with the conventional SIN of the
circle in which we move. But
gloomy as it may be, it becomes
US as rational beings to correct
all abuses. right all wrongs and
seek the best course possible. In
this field there is abundant room
for intelligent work and a large
opportunity is open for good. =,
A close friend or relative dies,
and with many the first thought is
What shall wo wear?" Mourning
must be put on. Custom demands
it. and who dares to disobey
custom? Of course then, il must
be done regardless of the unneces-
sary expense or of the fact that
the individual may already have an
ample supply Of good, fashionable
comfortable clothing. We have a
right to select our apparel, and
decide what we shall put on and
when. After all, true sorrow can
not be measured by the length of
a Grape veil nor is the profundity
of grief gagged by the depth of a
hat land. The tickle and whimsical
goddess of fashion should not be
consulted on such occasions.
There is no reason why 1.-THE
eternal fitness of things" should
be set aside in the presence of
death. The financial and social
status of those interested should
be considered.
| There is sometimes an unseemIy
and untimely rivalry to eclipse
some one else, or to have as grand
a funeral as the rich neighbor
recently had. An nVer-lavish
outlay for casket, flowers, and
hacks many make serious financial
difficulties that ought not to have
arisen at all. Many a debt has
been as umed, and many family
made needIcssly poorer because
they must ape others. ..rs.
We all love our dead. and a
desire to hurry their decently is
comendable. but extravaganza and
parade are wrong. All candid,
thoughtful persons know that
great abuses are common at such
| times. 1T is delicate point to
touch, as in fact is anything
relative tn mOrtuary subject; but
so much is the greater need for
plain common scnce utterance, and
good example from those who, in
measure at least frame public

A TRIP>I0 BULlION.

Wednesday morning W., R.
Mayer pumped up his. big, Pierce
Arrow automobile and started for
Bullion with Messrs. j. A. NC
Bride, R. H. Mallett and w. w.
Booher as passengers. Leaving
Elko at 7:45, the party reached
the old town of Bullion at $3.50
making the distance of over q
miles in an hour and Is minutes.
The machine climbed the. mount
aims, without any difficulty and eat
up the distance whenever a stretch
OF level road was struck. ,..r.t,.
After a few minutes at Bullion,
Mr.. Dan Frank joined the. party
and went with 1t to tie camp of
the Nevada Bunker Hill Mining
Company. Here, the party. was
greeted by'Mr. Davis, Mrs. Dayis
and daughter Miss. Gevendolyp. ;,
After Il few minutes, during
which each Of 'the'party. slowed
away a CUP Of steaming, aeoffee,s a
trip was made through the ,tupBel
that is 'being driven 5000 feet, to
strike the lower levels of the
Standing Elk and Tripoli mines
several hundred feet below 1.-The
old workings. The tunnel is now
i'll 1850 feet and gives splendid
promise of striking an pre,b body
within a shj:t distance from the
present fare. The tunnel is a
splendid piece of engineering
work. &C.. e.
From the. tunnel the party
again took the automobile ard
went to Highland. Here the auto
was left and the climb on foot to
the Standing Elk mine began.
The grade from Highland to the
mine is very heay, reminding one
Of side Of very steep roof. In
years past when the camp was in
its glory, six-horse teams hauleo
heavy loads of ore down from the
mines and took light loads of min
ing timbers and supplies back up
the hill. o.. ...E 90 "-"'''
After rest, n trip was made
through the Webfoot; tunnel@to the
old workings of the Standing Elk.
Thousands of tons of ore have been
taken from the STANDING Elk and
the indications on every side were
that many. thousands, more tons
were waiting tn turn their
precious contentsrinto the channels
of trade. The possibilities of the
Bunker Hill company's proper tv
are certainly immense.
After the trip through the. mine,
the party divided. one part going
over the Tripoli and other claims
and Mr.. Mayer and, the writer
going slowly down the grade to
Highland and taking the auto to
camp. All met after 5 o'clock at
the superintendent residence.
Here they rested for a short time
and then enjoyed a splendid meal
put together and served by Mrs.
Davis. 1t was a. hungry crowd
and the good things rapidly dis.
appeared from the table. At
4:30 the party started on the
return trip. A stop of nearly 10
minutes was made at Bullion, and

Says Sixty Years is Limit.

Griffin, Ga, Aug. 11.-Judge r. ~.
Daniel, of the First Circuit, created
somewhat Of a sensation yesterday in
organizing the Superior Court of this
county by one of his rulings. He
held that all jurors over GO years of
age were incompetent to serve.
Quite number had been summoned
to appear as jurors and as each panel
was called the Judge asked all who
were three score years of age to
make the fact known. AS each Juror
who had attained that age raised his
hand hc was promptly informed that
he was incompetent to serve and was
excused.
Judge Daniel based his opinion
upon a recent decision of the Court
OF Appeals, which held that a man
over 60 years Of age was incompe-
tent to serve as grand juror, and
he held the decision to apply with
equal force to all traverse Jurors.
Some Of the jurors excused yesterday
expressed a willingness to serve, not
Withstanding their age, but they
were firmly dismissed by the court.

Len Doremus was the crack sharp
shooter Of Gen. A. P. Hills division.
1t was his boast when the war was
not yet two years old that he had
picked off thirty-odd Yankees, some
of whom we're officers of high rank.
No doubt he had done it.
Pete Martin, Of Gen. Slo Gums di-
vision, was his equal in skill and dar-
ing. He and Len had been intimate
friends before the war, and the dear
est wish Of each was a chance to
draw bead on each other. They ma
noeuvred for a long time to do so
without success. One sultry after
noon in the summer Of 1868 while
both were scouting stretch of woods
face SO suddenly that neither had an
advantage.
Lets fight fair!" called Len, in
stantly recognizing his enemy.
All right; you do the counting"
Make ready!'
Each man brought his rifle to his
shoulder and took deliberate aim at
the breast Of the other. In a clear
even voice Len called:
"0ne-two-three!"
The weapons rang out at the same
instant. Then each lowered his gun
and stared in amazement at each
other. Neither had been graZed.
"Good-bye!" called Len, with an
oath Of disgust, as he turned on his
heel and walked away.
"The same to you,' replied Pete,
fully as chagrined as he.
Since both were unerring rifle
shots their mutual nausea was be-
yond description. They could not un-
derstand it.
After the war they met at re-
union Of the Blue and Gray. Re-
calling their former encounter, Len
said:
II have never been able to figure
1t out; have you?"
"Yes," replied Pete with a grin
our aim was true, but the bullets
met In midair and each smashed the
other"
