The Lobster Club Band gave a social
dance in the Eureka Opera House Mon
day evening in honor of their former
leader. Ed Whitmore. who was here
from Ely on a short visit. When IL was
known that Ell was to soon take a final
leave of Nevada to accept a position
with the Leon Mining Company in
Lower California. and had visited En-
reka to bid adieu to his former associates
and home friends. the Lobster Club
Band at once decided to give a social
dance, in which he could Join and lead
them in playing once again, and prob
ably for the last time for the people oil
Eureka, as his plans for the future made
his return here doubtful. The event
proved most enjoyable for all in attend
ance, and as a tribute Of the esteem in
which he is held by the HOLSTERS and
numerous Eureka friends, it will recall
to his mind, when his life lines fall in
other places. that many Eurekans
wished him bon voyage, success and
prosperity.

it. After getting through the rob-
bers took out the swing horses and
rode them of. They had two horses
tied near by. and all four Of the men
went mounted to the eastward. In Or
der to detain the stage the harnesses
on the remaining horses were badly
cut to pieces. 1t is reasonable to con-
clude that the robbers were familiar
with all the surroundings. The lead
horses, which by far were the best in
the team, were left behind though they
we're unhitched to get at the others.
Considering that the leaders had never
been broke to ride this looked a little
as though the agents knew what they
we're doing. The robbers we're number

man. with striped prison looking pants
and a large. broad brimmed white felt
hat, did the heavy work, and most OF
talking. 1t is thought by some people
that Clifford aud Parsons. the lately es-
capped convicts, were OF the party. \
Treasure City saloon keeper saved his
watch and money by passing his bottle
around among the robbers soon after
being stopped. All hands were badly
frightened and two of the passengers
got their heads under the seats and re-
manned in that position until dragged
out by the robbers. Some of the
robbers were also badly frightened and
trembled violently at the beginning.
The whole performance detained the

Matter Hanging Fire

The Salt Lake Tribune of March 2t
Up to Saturday there had been
nc meeting of the stockholders of
the Eureka & Palisade Railroad
Company in this city to determine
the future Of the organization.
There was a special session sched.
uled for over a month ago, but 1t
has failed to materialize so far. The
point to be determined is whether
or not the stockholders will exercise
their equity of redemption and pur.
chase the road from the present
owner or release their equity SO
that the owner can reconstruct the
road.
There ia little or no question but
what the United States Smelling.
Refining & Mining Company would
rebuild the line to their Eureka
mines should this equity be released.
1t looks, however. as if the com.
pany will have to wait until the
equity terminates by law before
proceeding. In the meantime an
important section of Nevada is
without a railroad.
