Last Thursday night the sales
office of the Iowa Lumber company
was broken into and the safes
opened but only s2.40 found. The
entrance to the office was made by
cutting a hole in the glass in the
rear door and SO being able TO un-
lock the same by reaching through
and turning the key which had been
left on the inside of the locked door
The outer doors of both safes were
left open and only the inner doors
locked, as the company does not
leave any amount of money in there
at night The inner doors were fore
ed open and the small iron cash
hoxes inside broken into Only a
small amount of cash was found,
but those doing the job took with
hem bunch of notes which they
threw away at the rear of the yards.
Mr.. Unger. the manager of the
local yard. had taken $50 from the
safe that night and by this saved
the company a substantial loss.

pressed at the primaries We have
earnestly and conscientiously striven
to execute the commission entrusted
to us by the party voters.
Denied Justice by Convention.
For five days we have been denied
justice in the national convention
This result has been accomplished by
the action of the now defunct national
committee in placing upon the prelim-
mary roll of the convention and there
by seating upon the floor of the con-
vention sufficient number of fraud
ulently elected delegates to control
the proceedings of the convention.
These fraudulent delegates, once seat
ed, have by concerted action with one
another put themselves upon the per-
manent roll, where they constitute an
Influence sufficient to control the con-
vention and defeat the will of the par
ty as expressed at the primaries.
I'VE have exhausted every known
means to head off this conspiracy and
prevent this fraud upon the popular
will but without success. We were
sent to this convention bearing the
most specific instructions to place
Theodore Roosevelt in nomination as
the candidate of our party for presi-
dent, and we therefore deem it our
duty to carry out these instructions in
the only feasible way remaining open
to US.
Therefore. be it resolved, that we,

another standard bearer.
Governor Johnson. California's fight

WINNEMU((A'S PIONtFR
MERCHANT GOES EAST

A. Kleinhans left this morning, via
the Western Pacific, for three
months visit to his old home at Gal
ion, Ohio. En- route the respected pio-
neer merchant of Winnemucca will
stop off at several towns and visit
some of the Golden Rule stores, being
personally interested in the business
of the company.
Mr.. Kleinhans is truly pioneer of
Winnemucca, and one who helped to
make the town what it is today. He
started in business here in the fall of
1869, and continued actively engaged
until May, 1902, when he retired on
account of poor health. The Silver
State wishes the old pioneer very
pleasant journey and visit to his for
mer home and a safe return to the
town and people he loves.

In a letter to the Silver State, DR..
John A. Lewis, superintendent of the
Nevada Hospital for Mental Diseases,
states that the general condition of
David Payne is practically unchanged.
Following is that part of the letter re-
ferring to the subject:
"Mr. Payne is in much the same
mental condition as when he came
here. He does not seem to hav any de-
lusions, but is broken in both mind and
body. He does not improve much in
his general health, and for that reason
/ have been in communication with his
relatives in the hope that they could
take him and perhaps a change in
climate and in different surroundings
might work an improvement.

ternoon. These deaths bring the total
up to nine. The list of dead published

rect, with the exception that there
were but three of the Keogh children
drowned, instead of four, as reported
at first.
Fred Preston, proprietor of the hotel
of the same name, refused to leave his
building, and while looking out of a
second story window, as the crest of
the flood was passing, reached out
and rescued one of the Keogh children.
This was the only building which re-
mained standing on the main street of
Mazuma.
The dead have all been buried, the
last funeral having been held yester-
day afternoon. The injured are all be-
