NEVADA GAMBLER
BEING SOUGHT

George Kemp, formerly a saloon
man at Hawthorne and we'll known
among the gambling fraternity of
Nevada is wanted, by the city
marshal of Coalinga, Cal, on a
felony charge.
rhe Coalinga marshal has sent
circular letters broadcast asking
for the apprehension of Kemp. and
declares that the wanted man drew
a check for $3.50 on a Reno bank,
without having funds on deposit in
the banking institution.
Kemp is said to have cashed a
worthless check in Reno several
months ago. but after his return
to Hawthorne it is stated he made
up the deficiency and the case was
then dropped. He went to Coal
inga shortly after the RcGo
episode and il appears from the
circular issued that he pursued
the same tactics there to secure
funds.
Kemp has been engaged in the
saloon and gambling business in
many western towns and is we'll
known by that fraternity. A
warrant charging felony has been
issued and is held by the Coalinga
sheriff. Reno journal.

WINNAMUCCA BANK
ROBBER IS KILLED

According to 4 dispatch from
st. Louis the police department Of
that city has received confirmation
that one of the bandits killed by
Express Messenger Trousdale near
Sanderson, Texas, was F. J.
Fitzpatrick known as the Montana
train rebber."
Fitzpatrick was convicted in St.
Louis Of passing some of the bank
notes which it was claimed as part
of the loot obtained in the Grea t
Northern robbery near Wagner,
Montana, in 1901. He recently
was released from the federal
prison at Atlanta and sent to Con-
cho county. Texas, for trial on an
old murder charge.
At the time of Kilpatrick's trial
in st. Lous. Senator George S.
Nixon. then cashier of the Winnie
mucca national bank, went. to the
Missouri city and identified Xii
patrick as one If the men who held
up the bank at this place shortly
before the Great Northern hold
up.
Ben Fitzpatrick, alias John
Arnold, alias j. W. Rose, alias
John Cunningham and with other
aliases. was a notorious train and
bank robber and was one of the
kid Curry gang, who held up
the First National Bank in Winnie
muuca in September 1900, and
carried away nearly $4,000 in
gold coin.
In st. louis on November 5,
1901, Fitzpatrick purchased a gold
watch and chain from a pawn
broker giving in payment four
twenty dollar bills and one five.
dollar bill. A short time afterward
the pawnbroIer needed svme small
change, went to bank and pre-
sented the bills. He was informed
they we're stolen money. These
bills were some of those taken at
the Great Northern hold-up. At
the time of Kilpatrick's arrest. in
valise the officers found $1,000,
in twenty-dollar bills known to
have been stolen in the Great
Northern robbery Humboldt

WHAT BECAME OF
THE GOLD SURPLUS?

That this country is absorbing
more gold each year is true, but
the gold is not going into use in
the form of money. More than a
third of the total production of new
gold now goes into the arts or
manufactures, or industrial
consumption" as it is technically
termed. says the Washington Post.
Ten years ago the proportion put
to this use was only about one
fifth Of the total production of
$l8. 100000, while last year TIE
amount was $34, 900, 900. or nearly
double that of ten years ago,
leaving S62,OO0,0GO for coinage
and other purposes. AS the bal
lance for the first year of the
decade was 100000, 600, it is seen
that increased production had ad-
ded very little to the amount
available for coinage.
AS fact $3.50. 900, 900 worth of
the yellow metal has been diverted
to industrial uses, which accounts
for about the whole excess of the
yield between 1901 when it stood
at S7S, 100000, and 1910, when it
had risen to 500, 100000. 1t is
claimed. of course. that the diver
sion of the $3.50. 700, 900 mentioned
has added an average of $26, OOO,-
600 year to the cost of living,
but on the other hand it might be
urged with equal cogency that
keeping it out of the coinage had
the effect Of keeping the gold dol
lar from becoming still cheaper. "

WALL STREETS NAME

Wall street got its name from
military wall or earthworks that
was thrown up by the Dutch in
1854. The English colonists in
Connecticut laying claim to all the
land "as far as the ocean" moved
down and settled Westminster creek
in what is now Bronx borough.
The Dutch of New AIMS terd am
were in great fear of q hostile
move down on them and sent an
armed force to arrest the approach
of the invaders. At the same
time. they hastily built the wall
from river to river to make sure
Of effective resistance if the enemy
should decide to make a hostile
move against New Amsterdam.
For time a regular patrol of
soldiers was distributed along the
military wall, attachments being
assigned to keep close guard over
the two gates in the wall one at
what is now Broadway and the
other at the East river end
At that period the wall marked
the northern boundary Of the town

GETTING RICH BY RULE


Weyerhauser. who lives in St.
Paul, He is said. according to
dispatches. to be the richest man
in the world. This may, or may,
not he true. He coined his wealth
from the trees and is king of the
timber BUSINESS. 1t has remained
for this eminent money magnate to
join with other rich men of the
two hemispheres in telling the con-
fiding public how to get rich.
1t is all very we'll to tell man
how to get rich by rule, but the
rule is sometimes more of theory
than a practical one.
j. Pierpont Morgan told an
iRqusitive reporter. of Pittsburg
not long ago that man sarnig
dollar day could become a mil
lionaire if he was a good business
man. He might and he might not.
Some men beginning life OIL less
have masseJ great fortunes, but
others have died in want. 1t de-
ponds on the man. Every man was
not cut out to be a financier or a
man of wealth. There are more
poor people in the world. than
there are m en- of means.
When one of these money kings
reveals the secrets of how his
riches were accumulated it is
usually sound advice, but advice
which but few will follow.
According to Frederick Weyer-
hauser there are seven secrets
responsible for his success in the
world. The seven secrets mean
the seven rules which he freely
gives Ito the public. The seven
rules are said to lead to immediate
wealth. They are secrets no
longer. 1t is most astonishing
fact that these seven secrets are
not published on three sheets and
scattered to the world at large.
They should be printed in red ink
and painted on the bill boards of
the nation.
Unfortunately they were only
published in a modest corner of
one Of st. Paul's dailies, where it
was almost lost to view. For the
sake of the human race, struggling
for existence, the seven secrets
have been rescued and are pub
lished so that all may read and
learn how to grow wise and
accumulate their fortunes. The
rules are rs follows:
Make up your mind to work at
something really worthy Of your
work and work hard.
lHe SuTcol way u make money
is to save money and to use what
you save.
Don't be afraid of long hours or
constant attention to your work.
Work can be made a JOY and
economy with pleasure, if you
combine an object worth while
with the desire.
Work where the interests of the
man who work is conferred becomes
source of real qualification of
honest pleasure and accompl ish-
ment.
Any young man can become
rich, can succeed in business il he
saves, il he has a definite and
honest purpose that work ceases
to be a hardship and becomes a
privilege.

THAT being the case, the railways
are entitled to expect the same fair

a right to ask in the public interest,
as well as their own, that the capital
invested in them he allowed to carr
