LINEUP BEFORE
THE MAYOR
Thirty Young CuIpFits in PO-
lice Court
Fined for DiSOFdGFly COnduCt Tuesday
Night. Mayor Mathis Thinks the
CuFfeW Law a Good Plan for Amer.
iCuS---Keep Boys off Streets.

Thirty terrOr-stricken kids, parti.
cipants in the riotous conduct enact
ed on Tuesday night last when prop
erty at a dozen residences here was
wrecked by the marauders, constituted
the Juvenile lineup in police court
yesterday and Clipped a bone each
into the cash box.
1t would have been more than a
dollar per, but for the fact that His
Honor, Mayor Mathis, found it utter.
ly impossible to make the boys test
fly against each other
Such ignorance of the things that
had transpired on St. Valentine night
was really amazing.
The kids had seen nothing, heard
nothing and very plainly knew moth
ing; or at least they said as much.
The only infraction of the law they
confessed to was the beating with
clubs and sticks upon veranda
Really, they hadn't seen another
thing.
Mayor Mathis ruled this as dis
orderly conduct, and as the whole
covey pleaded guilty to the charge
they were fined one ducat per.
Not one of them knew which of their
number pulled down fences, tore up
pavements; smashed lawn swings,
broke down concrete ornaments,
broke Conservatives and pulled up
flowers. Really, the little angel-faced
groupe Of darlings were amazed that
such things had recently been done.
Surely, it happened in Albany, they
thought, and not in Americus.
Mayor Mathis, in discussing the af-
fair later, expressed the belief that
the "curfew law" would prove a
blessing in Americus, if instituted, as
it would keep young boys off the
streets after o'clock at night and
spare the city from rearing imitators
of Jesse James, Nick Carter and 9th
ers of like ilk.
Cordele has recently Instituted the
curfew law there, and in the first
forty of fifty boys and 9th
ers were gathered in the police nets,
There was no necessity for q second
roundup, however

Southern Railway train No. SO, the L

TO New York, was held up by five
masked men at White Sulphur Springs
four miles from here at 3:15 o'cloch
this morning
The express car safe was dynamited
and the contents stolen. First re-
ports from the scene were that more
than 100000 was taken, but Southern
Railway officials declare the amount
was $500. None of the passengers was
molested, few in fact, knowing why
the train was stopped.
The robbers escaped in an autom0'

are now thought to be in Hall county
probably bound for the wilds OF Nortf
Georgia, where pursuit would be- lttfl
cult. A posse is on the trail.

COLD WEATHER
RETARDS WORK
IN ELY MILLS
DYNAMITE NECESSARY is TO
LOOSEN ORE AT ELY TO
EMPTY THE CARS.

ELY, New, Feb Freezing
weather is causing some reduction
in the amount of ore being han
died by the concentrator at McGill
though up to this time the number
Of trains being sent from the pit
is from five to eight day deliver
ing an average of about 1000 tons
day to the mill
As it is impossible to empty the
cars as fast as the trains arrive
over the bins the ore freezes hard
in the cars and dynamite must be
used to accomplish the unloading.
This adds to the cost of operations
and should cold weather continue
very long it will have an appreci-
able effect on the net cost of the
copper produced during this quar-
ter.
The oil received the other day is
belng unloaded into the concrete
reservoir also with difficulty on ac-
count of the cold weather and be-
cause when the crew assigned to
the work attempted to make con-
nections with the coils of steam
pipes supposed to be inside the
tanks, it was found there were no
coils there. Consequently the tenn
perature of the oil could not be
elevated and the work of empty
ing the tanks is a slow process.

butler SHOW
PROMISES TO
Be A winner
THROUGH ILLNESS BABY JO-
SEPHINE WILL NOT PARTICI-
PATE THIS WEEK

The program of the Butler the
ater for today consists of such a
variety of subjects that it is bound
to please every one. Baby Josehine,
the clever little juvenile who was
billed to open a weeks engage
ment, has been suddenly taken i'll
and will not be here this week. This
is somewhat of a disappointment
to the management who have al
ready gone to considerable expense
trying to get her.
The pictures for today are as fol-
lows. ''The Bolted Door," love
romance in which the financial
standing of two ardent suitors play
an important part. "a Child's Plea
is the story of the power that is
brought to bear by a sweet inno-
cent child's persuasive arguments.
Tag Day at Silver Gulch" is con-
sidered one of the best and most
interesting subjects ever produced.
1t deals with the western cowboy
life and a romantic maiden. The
situations are all extremely funny
and the climax leaves every one with
billing faces.

FAVORITISM
ALLEGED IN
SEAT SALE
SUBSCRIBERS TO "BARRIER"
MAINTAIN THAT UNFAIRNESS
Is MOST EVIDENT.

Considerable dissatisfaction is be-
ing voiced around Tonopah by many
of the people who subscribed for
tickets for "The Barrier" the show
which is billed for this camp dur
ing the present week. According to
all the announcements made by the
management of the company and
the local theater, the sale of seats
to subscribers only" was to COM
mence this Monday = morning.
However, when many of the sub
scribers appeared at the drug store,
at which the tickets are on sale,
as early as Z o'clock this morning
they were advised that the majority
of choice seats had already been
taken.
In any event, the next proposition
that is put over" in this camp on
subscription basis promises to go
abegging, provided those who aver
discrimination do not experience a
change of heart.
Mr.. INLAND, of the Miners drug
store, who is in charge of the
tickets, having been advised of the
discomfort that was manifest
throughout the city, maintains that
no favoritism was shown. He stated
that the first to come were the first
to be served

FIEND
AGAIN AT WORK
ON PET DOGS
MEANEST MAN ON EARTH Is A
MENACE IN TOWN OF
TONOPAH.

The meanest man on earth is
loose in Tonopah at the present
time At least he has again put
his appearance in this camp. He is
the fend who takes delight in ad-
ministering poison to mans greatest
friend the dog. Several reports
have ben received within the past
few days of pets of families and
even pets OF little children being
killed by poison, administered. un-
doubtedly, by someone of the spine
less cactus variety, adorned with a
streak of yellow that would put the
meanest pugilist that ever lived to
shame
Among those who have lost pets
is Jack Peck, agent for the Tono-
pah & Goldfield railroad, his bulldog
Fritz having shared the fate of a
number of others. Fritz, according
to his owner and many friends to
whom the dog was well known,
was one of the kindest and gentlest
of animals, a dog who was never
away from home except with his
master; hence it could have been
for no reason-excepting downright
meanness-that the life of the dog
was taken
1t will go hard with the guilty
party provided he is discovered, dire
threats of vengeance having been
made by persons who are now
mourning the loss of pets.

PIONEER FAMILY WILL
BID ADIEU TO TONOPAH

Ed Miller, accompanied by his
wife and two young sons, will leave
Tonopah tomorrow morning for Gil
roy, Santa Clara county, Cal, where
the family will make its future
home. Mr.. Miller and family have
resided in Tonopah since the early
days. He was at one time in the
grocery business and later in the
transfer business. They leave here
at this time on account of the ill
health of their youngest son, who
has been failing for some weeks
past, and who requires a change of
climate. Also Mr.. Millers parents
are quite aged and have a large
farm, and it is their desire that
their son and his family live at the
old home in the future The many
friends of the Miller family are
loathe to see them leave Tonopah.

for him to be heard. His charge

sion was kept up, everybody talk

CONGRESSMAN BARTLETT
BOOSTS FOR HIS HOME STATE

Proclaims Late Senator Stewart as the
Father of Our Present Mining Laws.

Our own George Bartlett is still
the one good booster" whose ex-
ample it would be worth while for
the entire population of Tonopah

following from the Washington Post

Why is it the fashion in the
effete east to sneer at our state
Of Nevada?" querieG that valiant
representative from the Nevada val
leys, the Hon. George Bartlett. Our
population is not large compared
with our area in square miles, and
recently the democratic maiorities
have not been just what we desire,
but bless you, Nevada has done
much for the Union since the day
that her senatorial votes made pos
'sible the adoption of a constitu-
tional amendment Let me remark
that Nevada with all her one-time
lack of population, has done much
for the nation in sending to Wash
ington senators like William M.
Stewart, the real father of our min
ing laws; John P. Jones, and later,
our present Senator Nixon and

Work. is still considered a classic,
and whatever his views on the mon
ey question Jones was construct
i've, ahle senator, who ranked for
thirty years with the greatest minds
of the nation. Yet he came from
Nevada and was proud of his state.
He is now living at Santa Monica,
a very old man, but he is not
forgotten in east or west Senator
Newlands is something, yea, much
more than a political statesman
He is also constructive and has
made study of irrigation and other
problems, meaning much to the
nation, and while there is no lack
of appreciation now, there will be
the greater estimate of his services
to state and nation as the years
go by. Senator Newlands, while
not exactly a pioneer in matters
pertaining to reclamation of arid
lands and the general building up
of great western empire betwixt
ocean and mountain, has been won
derfully active and progressive, so
that we hardly think to ask about
his politics.
The late Senator Stewart was no
less a great figure in Nevada and
the west than his colleague, Sena-
tor Jones, and not only the state,
but all the boundless west, owes
much to the Nevada representation
in the senate during the last forty
years.
