ROBS WOMAN.


One of the most contemplate
acts ever practiced by a ghoul,
CARRIED as a man, was that of mis-
creant on Friday night of last week
at McGill.
In the house of carnage of the
night before lone woman remain
ed with her babe in arms, the dead
body of her brother-in-law in the
Ely morgue, her husband in the
county Jail awaiting an investiga-
ton into his Staying of his brother.
With the head of the house de-
tanned, the sole support of the
woman for the time, was num-
Der of chickens which she had been
caring for.
Some unknown creature under
cover of darkness, and taking adj
vantage of the condition of the
scrrowing and lone woman, stole all
the chickens.
When the news was made known,
the feeling ran high in McGill
and if the thief is caught he will
be given short shrift in that town.

strenuous years, hoeing weeds and
irrigating alfalfa between political
duties, the last tract of the famous
22OO-acre ranch at st. Clair, com,
prising $50 acres and taking in the
old homestead, has been sold.
A strange part of the proceedings
is that while Mr.. Allen made the
sale, concentrating the same last
Thursday, no other party is known
in the transaction. save C. S. Den
sen, of Reno. who acted as agent
for the real buyer, The price paid
for this valuable tract was $42,5OO,

transactions ever pulled off in this

Mr.. Allen has agreed to give
possession to the new owner or
owners on September 22nd of this
year when his present years crops

1t was with more or less mis-giv-

Allen concluded to give up the old
home place, where they began resi-
dence in February. 1867 The ranch

that it has passed beyond their CON

ting the services of three judges
Orr. French and Averill-since last
December.
A telegram from Judge Taber at
Goldtield, received by Judge Averill
last evening, stating that he would
go to Tonopah next Monday to hold
court until the situation was re-
lieved, clears up the matter and
should satisfy the Bonanza that
the legal situation is being cared
for.
Judge Averill is holding daily
session of court here, with frequent
night sessions, and is probably
working harder to earn his $1,000
salary than if he were at Tonopah.
1t is not likely he will be able to
return to Tonopah by the latter
part of this month, but we assure
Brother Booth that Judge Taber is
capable of handling any phase of
the legal situation that might arise
in Tonopah, and that we will return
Judge Averill safe and sound when
We get through with him here in
Elko.

good when read in Elko.-Ed.

Judge Averill Delay
lsAUnavoidable

The Elko Free Press OF Satur-
day says:
In a recent issue OF the Tonopah
Daily Bonanza, edited by w. W.
Booth, Judge Aye1ill is criticised
for his absence from the district
court at that place in the following
article:
"Rumor has it that Judge Averill
will not return to Tonopah before
the latter part OF this month. In
the parlance of printerdom, he has
jumped his cases without putting
on sub, and the only difference
between the judge and the printer
is that the former is still drawing
his $1,000, and when the latter
goes away his salary quits with his
services.
quite little comment has been
caused by the duration of Judge
Averill S absence, as there is much
business in this county that could
be attneded to, and in case of in
functions being asked for, the resi-
dents of this section would be put
to some Inconvenience.
The fact of the matter is this:
When the arson case, now on trial
i'm tho dictrio+ nourt ~ tL;, Hoo
over which Judge Averill is presid-
ing, came up for trial, Judge Taber
was disqualified on account of being
district attorney at the time when
the crime was committed, and when
the preliminary trial at Tuscarora
was held, he was therefore com
PEELED to call upon some other
judge outside of his district to re-
lieye him. Judge Orr, it will be
remembered, came up from Reno
on the Bachman case, but found he
could not leave his duties at Reno
FOR the length of time that the ar
son case demanded, and after con-
siderable correspondence among the
judges of the several districts, it
was arranged that Judge Averill,
of Tonopah, would come to Elko
for this case.
AT that time it was not expected
the case would be so lengthy, and
after Judge Taber had cleaned UP
his docket in the southern part
of his district, he went to Goldfield
as one of the three judges on the
famous Frances Mohawk case, which
it was thought would last at least
six weeks, thus relieving Judge
Averill in order that he might come
to Elko.
Judge Orr and Judge French
are handling the four 'Nye county
cases, three of which grew out of
affairs of the Nye & Ormsby Coun-
ty bank, and involve about $780,
OOO. They are difficult cases, de-
handing much time and hard work.
They We're assigned to Judge Orr,
who divided them with Judge
French. To get Judge Orr to take
them Judge Averill promised to help
him in any way he could with his
work, and when Judge Orr found
he could not remain here to hold
this term of court, he suggested
that Judge Taber ask Judge Averill
to come to try the cases instead
of helping Judge Orr at Reno,
Judge French having agreed to do
that

DAILY DIG UP GOLD COINS
Rich Relics of Tough Days in Idaho
Now Being Uncovered.

Placer miners working at the old
Florence camp, in northern Idaho,
are daily taking gold coins of $3.50
and SIS denominations, minted in
1882, American and French silver
pieces and lead bullets, such as were
used in the days when the muzzle-
loading horse pistol was the popular
side arm, from the cleanup of the
sluice boxes on the Hainkson-Cha
lain ground.
w. A. Patterson, a mining engi-
neer, and F. P. Lint, owner of a
group of claims on Marshall lake,
who returned from the camp yester-
day, report that most of the ground
is returning as $40 in gold dust to
the cubic yard. Virgin gold was the
principal medium of exchange in the
day when Florence had the reputa-
ton of being the richest and tough
est mining camp in the Northwest,
and it is thought that the rich finds
are the result of the dust falling from
the scales and Sitting through the
cracks .in the floors CT the saloons,
gaming houses and dance halls in
the early COS.
While Patterson aLl Lint were in
camp the miners were working on;
ground formerly occupied by a gamb-s
ling house and dance hall, which fig
ured in some of the most tragic
events in the history of northern
Idaho, before the advent of a railroad
in the western country. Gun fights
were of daily occurrence and few
nights passed without one or more
being slashed in bowie knife duels.
Veteran prospectors and placer
miners now Lying At Lewiston and
other parts of that district, who
flocked to Florence when the first
gold was found, declared years ago
that the richest diggings were where
the camp town was located; but, as
no water was available until steam
pump was installed recently for con-
veying water to the sluices, no at
tempt was made to mine the ground.
