DIED FROM UNKNOWN CAUSE

Sheriff Harris returned last
night from Wendover, where he
went to investigate the finding of
the remains of L. F. Nolan. He
took Justice Triplett with him
from Wells to hold an inquest.
The remains were found eleven or
twelve mile west of Wendover in a
box ranyon. A vest and pocket
book were found by the bones. In
the poke tbook were letters and
papers by which the remains were
identified as those Of L. F. Nolan.
From the evidence brought out
at the inquest it appeared that
Nolan sold his saloon at Shafter
about three years ago. He then
came to Elko and went on a big
spree. He stayed here several
days and then returned to Shafter.
Before he was over the effects Of
the spree he left Shafter and was
not heard of again until his
remains were found. 1t is Sheriff
Harris opinion that he became Loot
in the mountains and peris he'd
from exposure.
The bones were taken to Wend-
over where an inquest was held
after which they were placed in a
bux and buried. The verdict of
the jury was that the remains
were those Of S. L. Nolan. native
of Gren River, Wyoming, aged %
years, and that he came : to his
death from unknown causes.

THE E. 8 P. RAILROAD

The Eureka Sentinel has the
following regarding reconstruc.

tractors who are rebuilding the

that the continuation of the fine
weather is permitting good pro.
gress to be made - considering that
at present but between SO and 60
men are employed.
The track is now laid to the
Halel crossing, rs miles from

expected the track will be finished
so that the construction train can
reach Blackburn, about 80 miles

an OTHER CLIMANT FOR
THE CHASE ESTATE

Tuesdays Examiner has the fol.
lowing New York despatch.
miss Mary Chase, a maid in
the employ Of Mrs, C. w. Allen OF
100 East seth street. discovered
today she was an heiress. She
belives she has inherited close to
81. 100000. She is the heir of her
uncle Hiram Chase, '49er who
died recently in the west. Miss
Chase, who is an attractive
brunette, destroyed all hopes of
fortune hunters when she declared
that she was confirmed
Spinster."
The estate referred to is doubt
less that of Hiram Chase who died
here several year ago and left an
estate of about $4,000. Miss
Mary Chase is only one of few
pretended heirs that have set up
claims to the estate, but never
began legal proceedings to recover
it. She will probably get no
further than the others did.

LIFE TO Be PUMPED
into THE NEAR DEAD

-
Thousands Of lives will be saved
inthe future in the opinion of
Bureau of Mines officials, by means
of an oxygen pumping apparatus
with which the bureaus worker S
during the last year restored to
life more than thirty persons who
had ceased breathing.
!. BY means of the lung films and
emptying machine shown by the
bureau, oxygen is forced into the
lungs, the poisonous gases are
drawn out and breathing becomes
normal. The machine acts auto
matically, any effort on the part of
the individual hindering rather
than helping.
In drowning cases, gas poision-
ing and electrical accidents
there will he many revivals, it is
believed by the prompt use of the
oxygen device. Hundreds of
inquiries have reached the bureau
Of mines from hospitals, physi-
clans and municipal authorities
asking about the value of the
machine. An official of the
bureau said that in his opinion
the. time was near when every
police patrol would be equipped
with one of the machines.

GOVERNOR 0ODIE
WOULD MAKE IT SHORT

A telegram was received from.
Reno today stating that an at
tempt would be made at the special
session of the Legislature to re-
Introduce the slot machines and
endeavor to reopen gambling in
Nevada. Other matters as erratic
were included in the message. The
telegram was handed to Governor
Oddie. He stated:
GAS to the definite length of the
special session that would be hard
to state. If all goes well the SEES
sion should be wound up and the
business transacted from seven to,
ten days. The shorter the sc ssion
the better l will feel over the
matter. 1t is possible under the
law to extend the session to twenty.
days. l see no reason for such a
length of. time and the few matters
that will be pesented to the mem :
bers for consideration should be
closed up within very short time.
l hope this will be the program
short session and the work &C.
complished of a quality that is
necessary for the states good.
R egarding gambling or the
allowing of slot machines. that is
all rumor. There will be no legis.
lation on gambling during this
session. The gambling question
will have to 60 over till the regular
session, year from this time. 1t
is then matter for the members
to consider among themselves.
There will he nothing in the mes
sage relative to gambling. There
are more serious matters to be con-
sidered.
The transfer of funds will of
necessity Jbe the first on the pro-
gram. This is due from the fact
that the members of the legisla-
ture will have to transfer funds
before they can draw their pay
and mileage. 1t is a certainty
that this matter will be arranged
within a very short time after
they assemble.
Aside from the transfer of funds
there must be means provided for
more equitable tax rating. The
raise of valuations by the members
of the Board of assessors broug hit
the corporations up to a ,poin
where they are assessed on about
sixty per cent of the cash value.
Could the rest of the property in
the state be brought to, the same
standard there would be no compla-
int Of lack Of funds and there would
also be lower and more uniform
rate throuhout the entire tate.
have not finished my message
to the legislature. If all the
measures that have been proposed
could be embraced it would take
at least sixty days to put them
through. For that reason | hope
to make the message brief, cover
the points that are necessary for
the states good and let the men,
bers return to their homes where
there is always enough to keep
them busy. carson Appeal.
