after Sheriff Lamb had arrested him.
Uric stated that TRAINER, who had
forced him to go to Quillicis sa-
loon, and that on arriving there
Quillici tried to wrest rife from

lici and killed him and then kille !

SEA SERPENT
IS REPORTED IN
WALKER LAKE

w. G. LOWE and Pete Bagoy, who
spent several days in the Cotton
wood country last week, declare
that they saw the famous sea SER
pent of Walker lake. They were
looking over mining property in
that section and meandered down
toward the mouth of Cottonwood
creek, which empties into the lake.
Looking out upon the lake both
parties saw the serpent-like fish rae
ing through the water at terrific
gait. Mr.. Lowe at first thought
what he saw was a floch of swans
flying single file ciuse to the water,
but closer inspection proved this to
be mistake. Whatever the thing
is, it is about fifty feet long, with
a large head and a body about as
big around as that of an average
hietiA' ~ Nu0 dOOuI IUV
yards from the shore and LOWE
wanted to go closer to the lake and
get a better view, but Pete said:
Jesus! not on your life; may not
that thing jump 200 yards and
catch us both?"
Mr.. LOWE is mining man of
note, not given to exaggeration nor
pervarication, and there is not
doubt that he saw the famous sea
serpent of Walker lake
There are Others who, in years
gone by, have seen this thing, and
the Indians of the reservation
know that it has lived in the lake
for many years past. You cannot
get one of them to go bathing in
the lake for fear of being caught
by this monster
1t might be good idea for the
Smithsonian Institute, or some other
scientific body to put launch on
the lake and try to capture this
ichthyosaurus, or whatever it may
be. 1t certainly would be a Curl
osity in any museum.

RICHARD JOSE
At The NEVADA
THIS EVENING
RENOWNED SINGER TO APPEAR
TONIGHT AT THE NEVADA
THEATER.

The quaint and lovable character
of typical old New England
smithy, just such one, perhaps,
as the poet wrote about generations
ago in the famous old classic, "The
Village Blacksmith" will be pre-
sented tonight in the rural drama,
Silver Threads at the Nevada
thsater.
Uncle Ben is the life of the vii
lage, the sunshine of the COM
munity, the peacemaker in time of
trouble, the oracle to be consulted
on points or learning. He is whole
souled, good natured; he is a sweet
singer, he is a leader in the vii
lage choir-in fact, Uncle Ben is the
pride of the village, nothing short
Of that enviable and lofty position
in the hearts of his countrymen.
This is the part that is to be por-
trayed by the eminent tenor and
leading man, Mr.. Richard J. Jose,
and in this part he is said to be
given role that admirably fits him
both temperamentally and physi-
cally.
During the course of the play
Uncle Ben sings number of ia
nous old songs that for generations
have been dear to the hearts of the
good New England folks, among
them "Abide With Me, Home
Sweet Home Silver Threads
Among the Cold and, last. but not
least, Daddy" the last mentioned
being particularly appealing in its
tender melody.

WONDERFUL ARE
The SHOWINGS
ON White CAPS

At the White Caps the shaft is
now down to depth of 20 feet,
and at that depth the ledge has
narrowed somewhat on the east
end of the shaft, but holds strong
on the west side. At the surface
the ledge was but Is inches across,
but as depth has been attained it
has widened to twelve feet.
In sinking the shaft ore has been
taken out all the way down that,
from assays made, will run about
500 per ton.
Altogether from shaft, tunnel and
the surface work over 500 tons of
ore have been extracted and are
now on the dumps awaiting a mill
run. This ore, it is claimed, will
return an average value of about
SAP per ton.
Superintendent Pryor states that
it is his intention to continue tine
ledge to the 100-foot level, and if
the values hold out as well at that
point the leasing company will in
stall a reduction plant to ha: die
the output. In that case the power
company will extend it's high ter
sion line to the White Caps.
Last week President Chappell of
the power company, together with
Mr.. Porter, one of the directors of
the company, and f. w. Boyd, au-
ditor, visited the White Caps, and
what they saw there caused them
to become very enthusiastic 1t is
reported that Messrs. Chappell and
Porter may acquire an interest in
the lease and assist in financing
the mill project.
N. M. Simons, the local assayey
and mining engineer, paid a visi.
to the White Caps the first of last
week. To use his own words: III
the ledge there holds out as strong
for another 80 feet, Aladdin's Laur
as a money-getter will pale into

railroad and the Tonopah & Gold

GUILTY
AFTER FLEEING
JUSTICE A YEAR
James Mcdonald Caught in
ROselle by Detectives Ryan
and Farrell.

James j. Mcdonald, for whom the
police nave been looking for more than
a year. pleaded guilty to a charge of
assault and battery before Judge Mar
tin, in the Quarter Sessions Court this
afternoon ant was remanded for SEN
tence. He was indicted some time ago
on a charge of having criminally as
saulted Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins, u
years old, of As Vesey street, on May IA,
1910.

were notified by his sister, who lives
at the Vesey street address, that he
could be found in the vicinity OF

OF
WAREHOUSE UPON
PORT CONFIRMED
Lighterage Firm Has Already
Paid $4,000 for Land on
Madison Street.

The plans of the Wright & Cobb
Lighterage Company to erect an I'M
nense bonded storage warehouse in
this city In the event of the customs
port remaining here were today con-
1rmd by members of the company.
This lends added interest to the plan
for the consolidation of customs dis
tricts, which il approved may deprive
Newark of its port of entry and become
a detriment to local industries. The
site for the proposed warehouse has al
ready been purchased by the lighterage
company for $50, 900, the structure to be
located at the foot of Madison street.
Providing the plan of consolidating
Newark with the port at Perth Amboy
is defeated, the addition of a bondel
warehouse in this city would be an as
set which the importers would maxi
haste to use. 1t would also eliminate
in g. great measure the present sys-
tenn of having foreign goods meant
for this city shipped to New York,
where the customs revenue is increased
at Newark's expense.
SiXty-four steamers, lighters and
barges will be used by the lighterage
company here for transporting goods
from the incoming steamers to this
city. With the warehouses here the
local merchant will not lose the time
and expense experienced at present by
storing his goods in New York. These
benefits to Newark's commercial and
manufacturing industries are not II
slip by without a hard fight If the gen.
eral opinion expressed today is a cri-
terion.

The two men were arrested by
Patrolman Brady, who learned that
Patrick Denny, Sc years. old, of 20 East
Third street, New York, had been re-
lieved of $50. Adams, it is alleged, be-
came peeved when one of his COM
panions stole $40 from him. He notl-
fed Patrolman Brady. The two went
to a saloon, where they found Denny
helpless and with only five cents in his
clothes. Adams accused Murray of the
theft, and the two We're arrested.
1t was declared by the police that
for a long time in this section many
persons have been held up. Extra
police protection was put in this ter
ritory, but without good results, Judge
Hahn held the men without bail for
investigation, and also remanded
Denny, who will be one of the com
plainants.

was a black handkerchief across his
mouth and well up owe his eyes,.
In spite Of the arsenal that he faced
Dumas turned around and began to

WHEN ARE WAGONS ON THE
STREET AN OBSTRUCTION?
That Question Is Bothering PO'
lice Judge Herr.

Are wagons to be classed as OBJ
structions when left on the street
without a permit from the Board Of
Works? This was the problem before
Judge Herr In the Fourth Precinct
Court today. Isadore Vanarsky. a
blacksmith, was arrested on a charge
of violating section 54S of the city or
dinances because he permitted wagons
at his shop to obstruct the street.
The complaint was made by Gottlieb
Hanle, Board of Works inspector, who
declared that vanarsky had been
warned repeatedly to keep h trucks
in his yard. Benjamin NJ. Weinberg,
counsel for the defendant, asserted
that the section in the ordinance on
which the complaint was based was
not relative to the case. He declared
that former Judge Sweeney had fined
a client $25 on the same grounds, but
Judge Skinner, in the Court of Com
mon Pleas, reversed the police court
decision. Mr.. Weinberg was given
until next Tuesday to produce a copy
OF Judge SINNERS decision.
