CARSON MINER FOUND DEAD.

George Dixon, a pumpman on the
POO station of the Ward Shaft at
Carson City, was found dead on that
station Tuesday afternoon, about l
o'clock and under circumstances that
are more or less of a mystery as to
how the unfortunate man met his
death. As near as can be learned, j.
Gywnn, a partner of the dead nan
left the station to turn off the by
pass and Mr.. Dixon was to oil the
pumps. Mr.. Gywnn returned TO the
station in a very short time, and
found Mr.. Dixon lying face down on
the floor of the station, and life TX
tinct. The body was taken to the
surface, and DR.. Sullivan summoned,
and the only indication that the de-
ceased might have come in contact
with a live wire were burns on two
fingers of one hand. There We're no
other signs of an electric current con-
tact on MS DOuy.
As far as is known there was no
disturbance of the electric current,
and nothing unusual was noticed in
any other section Of the mine. 1t
was the opinion of the doctor that
Mr.. Dixon probably met death due to
heart failure. although it could not
be positively determined that this
was the fact.
Mr.. Dixon was a native of San
Francisco, and had been In Carson
/ City for the past three or four years.
being employed for most of that time
at the Ward shaft.

GOLD STRIKE AT TONOPAH.

One of the most important strikes
made in years in this camp is report
ed from the Mizpah Extension. Three
feet of ore has been cut in the east
drift from the 1000-foot level.
The ore shows free gold, besides
large quantities of native silver. 1t
is estimated that the rock will
average $500 to the ton.
The new strike was made Tuesday
afternoon and caused great excite
ment. There are crowds around
Robertson's brokerage Office, where
samples of the ore are displayed.
Miners working in the property
are all buying the stock, which is
accepted as the best proof of the au-
thentlcity of the strike ews
This discovery proves up the
eastern sections and that the
Tonopah ore zone is much longer and
and wider than was predicted by
experts. officials of the company
believe that it is an extension of the
rich Lille Belle vein from the Bel
mont mine.
Superintendent Laury of the Mon
tana and Mizpah Extension confirm
ed the story of the strike. This is
the second mine that he has made.

CHILD's HEROIC ACT.

That heroines are not all in history
is shown by the following from an
Iowa paper. telling of the brave ac-
ton of a niece of Rev. Hornady of
this city, says the Carson City News.
The Dresser family had an ex-
~perience, last Friday afternoon, that
developed two heroines. Little Bob
by Hornaday, while playing in the
yard with the Dresser boys lifted up
a board of the covering of a cess
pool IA feet deep by II feet in width,
and went into the cesspool head
first. One of his playmates gave the
alarm which brought Mrs. Dresser
and Rachel quickly to the scene, Mrs.
Dresser let her daughter Rachel
fourteen years of age down into the
cess-pool as Bobby was sinking for
the third time. Having nc rope she
let her down by the hands. Rachel,
dropping into the water, caused
Bobby to rise again and she caught
him and forced the filthy water out
of his lungs and stomach. By that
time neighbors had been called and
Mr.. Mann rescued Bobby. A rope
was finally lowered to Rachel, but
she stood with the water up to her
chin for some time.

plausible excuse he bought the grain.
A few hours afterwards Peter Lardy
came in from out north with the in
formation that he had tracked a
couple Of teams from his granary to
the Thorpe elevator.
1t was ascertained that the thieves
had sold the grain under the name or
Smiley but from the description OF
the men and the teams it was soon
decided that they were Robert and
Leonard Lowe and that the teams be-
:onged to the Gatewood Bros, north
of town. A warrant was Immediately
sworn out and given to Deputy Sher-
if C. K. Barnett who, although ne mad
no clue, made UP his mind that the
fellows had "beat it" for Beach and
went at once to that place where he
finally located the culprits in rsetau-
rant-but not until they had cashed
the grain checks, amounting to about
$4,000. The cashier of the Beach
State Bank where the checks had
been cashed identified the men as
those who had cashed the checks, and
upon being searched all the money
was found with the exception OF few
dollars that they had spent. Mr..
Barnett brought them back to Sentinel

FRATERNITY HAS
CHARTER At j. N. D.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Jan. "a
charter in the leading national Law
fraternity of the country, Phi Delta
Phi has been granted to the Bruce
Law Club, of the University OF
North Dakota according to telegra,
phic information to Attorney Russell
D. Chase of this city from Cincinnati,
where the annual convention OF the
fraternity is being held.
The Bruce Law Club takes its
name from Judge Bruce of the State
Supreme Court formerly Dean OF
the Law School, and has been active
in university life for a number of
years last past. Ihe club was or
ganized about six years ago, Attor-
new Burke of Minnewaukan, being
one of the founders, and the men,
bers have been seeking aff1liation
with the Phi Delta Phi fraternity for
two years. Judge Bruce. a member
of the fraternity from the University
of Wisconsin attended the conven-
tion in the interests of the local club,
and Prof. l.. E. Birdzell, of the law
school faculty was also present as a
delegate. The active membership
was represented by Howard Maher,
of Devils Lake.
It is the signal distinction to the
club and the university to have the
fraternity represented in North Da'
kota by a chapter. The organization
is represented only in the larger law
schools. It's alumni membership in
cludes many of the foremost lawyers
and judges in the United States. An
inspector from the Grand Chapter OF
the fraternity visited Grand Forks a
short time ago and made report to
the officers of the fraternity.
It is probable that the new chapter
will be installed at the university
late in February, or in March. and Of
ficers of the national organization
will be present to conduct the cere-
monies.
