WHAT WE GIVE SALOONS.
John r. cunneen Says II Is About $40
to 81 for What They Pay in Licenses.

At Bath Tuesday evening John +.
cnnneen, the 'machinist orator Of
Chicago, appealed 10 the wage earners
as follows:
There is q reason in the minds of
some people for voting fer The saloons
and il is because there are too many
people who worship the almighty dol

their associates, for the sake of MAIN

That the Argus was knowingly and
Intentionally deceiving its readers is
proven by a letter which we publish
below, showing that the article Which
the Argus published on July was
written 90 years ago; that the man
who wrote the article died Is years
ago, and that the paper from which
the alleged clipping was made ceased
to exist in 1894.
That the Argus knew that it was
misrepresentng present conditions by
quoting rum trust literature of a
score of years ago, is shown by the
fact that this same description of al
legged conditions in Kansas has been
in use By the liquor interests for.
years 1t is shown also that the
same matter was used in Oklahoma
and in Texas. and it establishes the
generally accepted understanding that
the Maine papers which are shouting
for a change in the law are backed
and supplied by the liquor interests

NELL" NELSON
GETS OFF WITH
SLIGHT INJURY
WHILE LOADING HIS WAGON
FREIGHTER is HIT BY
HEAVY CROWBAR.

Nelson Nelson, known through
out southern Nevada is "Nels" had
a narrow escape yesterday from
serious injury while loading the
lead-wagon of his freight outfit. He
and two helpers were loading 12x
14X24 timbers when, in some man
ner, after the timber had almost
been put into its proper place, the
men on top of the wagon lost con-
troll of the timber and it precipi-
tated to the ground, coming in con-
tact with a small piece of wood,
which in turn flew up and hit the
freighter full in the face, knocking
him senseless. When the large log
fell, q helper on top of the load
lost his presence of mind and drop
ped his crowbar, the large iron
column striking the unfortunate
man on the foot, crushing two OF
his toes. Assistance being of easy
avail, Nels received immediate at
tention, and at last reports seemed
none the worse for his ill-luck.
