JOHN Y. M'KANE
PASSED AWAY IN
San FRANCISCO
FORMER TONOPAH PROMOTER
AND REPRESENTATIVE OF
SCHWAB DIES,

John Y. McKane, one of the many
unique characters that Nevada boast
ed of during the height of the
GCldfeld and Tonopah excitement,
died shortly after midnight Satur-
day at st. Luke's hospital; San
Francisco. to which institution he
had been removed from the st.
Francis hotel three days before.
Death was due 20 pneumonia.
McKane was formerly a Montreal
banker, who abandoned the more
practical financing for the more eX-
citing life of the western mining
camp. He made several fortunes
in Nevada and was credited at one
time with being three times a mil
lionaire, but he spent his fortunes
as fast as they came to him.
For time he was Charles NJ
Schwab's representative, and engi.
neered the sale to the Pittsburg
millionaire of the famous Tcnopaf
Extension.
His fortunes gone and the excite
ment in Nevada having subsidized
McKane went to Cobalt, Canada
and retrieved his losses.
About this time he conceived thu

idea of entering the British parlia
ment, and returning to Scotland, hi
native land, he invested several hun

Chief of Police Smith was called
to the neighborhood of the Topic

execution took to his heels, with
Charley after him. The police de-
partment had failed to have cor

"Big Chief left part of his trousers

FEARED A TRAP.
A Bit of Japanese Strategy That De-

A Bit of Japanese Strategy That De-
ceived the Enemy.
Many man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like a trap to him. Here is an
instance in which this trait Of human
nature was cleverly played upon by a
Japanese nObleman
The old lord had been forced to fee
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead Of his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand, and he knew that II an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
ly, and scouts rode up near the castle
to reconnoiter. To their amazement,
they found the gates. doors and win
dows open and all the appearance of
a holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
ly back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music in the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise a
man to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders Of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way. He
drew back to safe distance and en-
camped to await developments.
Soon the re-enforcements for the cas-
tie came up behind. attacked him sud
denly and defeated him. while the gar
rison, which had risked all on its
stratagem, charged him on the other
side.
