Difference Between Mathewson and
Walsh.

Joe Tinker draws the distinction
between Ed Walsh. who he says is the
hardest man to hit he has ever faced
and Christy Mathewson, who, he main
tains, is still the greatest of all pitch
ers, though he has gone back some:
Walsh is spitball artist, pure and
simple. You know exactly what he
is going to throw and what to be pre-
pared for, but you can't hit the ball
He gets your goat.
"Mathewson is exactly opposite in
method. Walsh overawes you, but
Christy tenderly leads you astray, SO
TO speak. You are always sure you
can hit him, but you can't. Every
ball he throws looks like a fpe,' but
you cannot land on it right"

CONVICT HELPED SKINNER

Believing that Frank Skinner.
the escaped convict from the
Nevada state prison. had an accom-
plice at this end. Warden Cowing
and Lieutenant Of the Guard Tom
Kelley started an investigation
and through photographs located
Chas. Rylee in cheap lodging
house in this city.
Rylee was an assistant of Skinner
at the prison and also a pal of the
latter. He was taken to the city
prison on Instructions Of Chief Of
Police Hillhuuse and submitted to
an examination.
According to the confession Of
the ex-convict. he was to come to
this city and secure some clothes.
Skinner had his escape timed to the
minute and intended doing just
what he did-make his getaway"
on Saturday night.
The arrest Of Rylee Saturday
prevented bis carrying out his
end Of the programme, and permits
the officers to close in on the escap-
ed convict from all sides, leaving
hin in constant doubt.
Rylee, it is thought. tipped the
matter off to others. who in turn
connected with the convict when
they ascertained that Rylee had
been arrested, and in this manner
the officers had to fight second
unforeseen complication, but they
are tryi e the clues, and expect to
arrest the man hourIy.-Journal.

A FUNNY STORY

Several Of the republican papers
Of the state are running a very
funny story about Senator Massey's
experience as district attorney of
this county. The funny part Of it
is that there is scarcely a grain of
truth in It. The case alluded to is
that Of the state against Nick Nc
Coy. charged with assault with in
tent to kill Sheriff Mateor The
threat detailed in the article is
news to the people of Elko. The
writer at that time was well posted
on current events and knew pr city
nearly everything that occurred in
Elko and the first knowledge he
had Of McCoy's threat was contain
ed in the Gazette's article.
Another untruth is that the "Joung
man" was acquitted. He was
convicted by the jury and on
motion Of his counsel, Judge
Harrington, Judge Talbot set the
We. dict aside on the ground that
the evidence did not support the
charge of assault with intent to kill
Mccoy then plead guilty to a lesser
offense and Judge Talbot sentence
him to six months imprisonment
in the county jail. Another mis-
take Is that the young man" came
from Texas. He came to Elk
from Mardis.
With the exception Of the matters
detailed above and some others,
which we have not the time to
mention, the Gazette's article con.
tains q few grains of truth. It's
very nice story, but 1t lacks the
elements Of truth.
