MISS RYAN

One of the attractions for the
average spectator in the U. S. court
during the progress of the National
suit is a tall supple figure, of mod
est becoming demeanor and a form
which bespeaks a determined pur-
pose and a head showing depth and
reflection giving an impression that
this person, a lady lawyer, Miss Ryan
is an animation and spirit worthy of
note. AS she is daily recognized by
the spectators she receives the at
tention and esteem which the charm
of her position exacts, says the Car
son City News.
AS an attorney she is attractive
and shows a patience and resolute-
ness which belongs to a just and
ripened sense of gaining the know
ledge based upon facts brought out
in connection with so important a
suit as that now pending before
JuuSe WIN the inter
leet manifest and the capability to
apply it one naturally infers: Here is
a strong able woman who is ready to
renounce absurdity and capable with
power Il protest against all unfair
ness, and injustice. Her seriousness
of demeanor impresses one that
superior beings have their places
marked out and as such Miss Ryan
occupies a forefront as adviser at the
counsel board which the destiny of
earnest work means for her ability.
There is a charm in that personality
and meditativeness which impresses
the establishment of a true high
class woman in which virtue combin-
ed with ability has destined her tai
ents for an eventful career along
honor's pathway. Her example Is
wholesome and fully marks a field
contrary to that frivolity so largely
prevailing among non serious society
danes.

CHILCOOT TUNNEL
STILL CLOSED.

According to Richard Martin, who
is in from Chilcoot, the Western Pa
cifc company will not be able to run
trains through the Beckwith pass
tunnel for about eight months, says
the Reno Gazette.
Several attempts have been made
to enter the tunnel to clear away the
debris, but the rock is still too hot to
handle.
Mr.. Martin says the tunnel has
caved for a distance of over half a
mile. This was the result of a fire
which destroyed the timbering. in
Guiding over 10000 cords of wood,
which had been placed to support the
tlmbers. The heat from the fire was
intense. especially as it was confined
by the bulkheads which were unsuc-
eessfully thrown up to prevent the
entrance of oxygen to feed the
flames.
Fortunately the topography of the
country permitted the construction
of a 'shoo-fly" track over the sum-
nit, which, strange as 1t may seem,
Is shorter than the tunnel line, but
the grade is much heavier.
1t requires a pulling engine and
two pushers to get a train over the
summit. The western approach is
much easier than the eastern. The
new track erosses the Sierra valley
line on the summit.

KELLER SAYS HE WAS
KICKED OFF TRAIN

Charles b. Keller, a machinist was
taken to Elko from a point near
Halleck Monday, where he was found
by the track walker of the Southern
Pacific company, lying by the side
of the railroad track in such a con
dition that he was unable to walk.
He states that he has been employed
at Carlin as a strike breaker and that
he was beating his way east when he
was told to get off the train by a
brakeman. He states that he started
to climb down the side of the car
when the brakeman kicked him and
knocked him from the car when the
train vas going more than twenty
five miles per hour.
He received a broken ankle, and
numerous bruises and cuts and may
be injured internally. He tried to
crawl to Halleck but his face was SO
swollen that he could not see and had
to give it up.

From
MURDER IN EUREKA.


A fatal shooting ARRAY occurred in
Eureka's redlight district about 4
o'clock Tueday morning. Florence
Gordon, who conducts the house
known as the Crystal Palace, shot
and killed her lover, Tony Rose. He
was shot twice, with a 80 caliber pis-
toll, once over the heart and once in
the right side of the head over his
ear. Either shot would have proved
fatal.
Immediately after the killing the
woman went to the sheriff's Office
and called Sheriff Martin Mahoney
up. She informed the sheriff that
Tony had kicked i'll the back en-
terance door and also her bedroom
door, and had attempted to kill her
with a large sized butcher knife.
After entering the room he made a
rush at her with a knife. She scream
ed and jumped over the foot of the
bed and grabbed a pistol that was
under the pillow. She Immediately
fred two shots and as soon as she
realized she had killed Tony came to
the sheriff's office and gave herself
up.
She later informed Sheriff Ma
honey that Tony had been abusing
and maltreating her for some time,
and had kicked her and strick
her in the face.
1t is said that jealousy was the
cause of the attack by Tony on the
woman. The woman states there
was a man in the room with her when
the door was kicked in, but that he
was a stranger and he Immediately
left when the shooting commenced.
Aother man and were in
the house, but they knew nothing of
the ARRAY until they heard the shots
fired.
Tony Rose was "a years of age and
came to Eureka from Caliente, Ne
vada, with the Gordon woman about
eight months ago. Previous to that
they lived together in the State of
Washington.
florence Gordon the who
did the killing, is rs years of age,
and Is said to be of a very quiet and

TRIED TO put ONE OVER
GOVERNOR ODDIE

Yesterday Governor eddie was out
of the state hunting and fishing with
George Wingfield in California.
Wingfield had not accepted his prof
fered appointment and there was a
vacancy existing in the Office OF Unit
ed States senator from this state.
Such vacancy. in fact will exist until
Wingfeld goes to Washington and
qualities, says the Carson City Appeal
of June %.
The politicians of Carson were not
slow in figuring it out and a hasty
caucus was held. Attorneys were
consulted and all agreed that a va
cancy existed and that Gilbert Ross,
lieutenant and acting governor in
Oddie's absence from the state, had
the power to name a to
Senator Nixon. The matter was put
up to him and he promptly declined
to act. He said in substance:
II don't believe in any snap-judg-
ment politics and | will not make any
appointments OF take any advantage
of the governors absence. / would
not expect any fair-minded man to
jump me if | were similarly situated.
Neither do | know any prominent
Democrat who would accept an ap-
pointment under such conditions.
What's the use of jockying for such
a small advantage when we will regu-
larly elect a Democrat this fall who
will go to Washington with the
solid vote of the people behind him?"
The good sense of his argument
was apparent to everybody and moth
ing further was done. The Republi-
cans got wind of the contemplated
