BOUND OVER TO
DISTRICT COURT
FOR BURGLARY
ALLEGED STlckUPs HELD TO
THE DISTRICT COURT TO
ANSWER.

Stats, Slim and Doc, the euphem-
istie trio from the lower quarter
who climbed into the spotlight last
week in connection with the holdup
of Yee Sing and Yee Chong we're
bound over yesterday afternoon by
Justice Dunseath on a charge Of
burglary.
The trial occupied the greater part
of the afternoon and the chief wit
nesses were the Chinese victims, one
of whom said he could not under
stand English and had to have Mrs.
Kee interpret his testimony The
latter frankly avowed that she did
not believe in the Christian God and
the testimony had to be taken on a
solemn affirmation. This is said to
\ be the first time in the history of
Tonopah where such case has oc
CURED but the court has no doubt OF
the evidence being the whole truth
and nothing but the truth
Stats was arrested the night Of
the robbery by Officer Welch and
Doc Schwartz was taken in mex
morning when he was identified a.
the Colorado bar by the Yees a.
the man whom they allege held then
up. The third man. known as R. E
Gilbert or Frenchy was taken il
the following day The evidence wa
conclusive and the court bound then
over.
According to the testimony Slat
called at the little Chinese store bacl
Of the Northern and asked for heaC
ache medicine which to the initiate
stands for something not commonl
used for that purpose. He was a,
companied by Slim and Doc and tn
! latter flourished a star which h
had made from piece of tin. Whe
Sing hesitated Doc is said to hav
( drawn gun and Chong ran int
} rear room where Doc followed an

) money from its hiding place tn

development work is being carried
on exactly as outlined some months
ago and there has been no change
in the company's policy or plans.
President Whittemore and the others
chiefly interested are well satisfied
with the results attained, although
some of the work has necessarily
been slower than was expected. This
is particularly the case in completing
the crosscut on the 1850 level which
is being driven 20 the boundary line
of the Union Jack claim of the At
lanta Mines company.
New development work has lately
been started on the 1880 foot level

that were exposed in driving the
crosscut at this depth to connect for
ventilation with the Grizzly Bear
workings of the Goldfield Consolidat.

serving to explore the big vein. to
open up the seams OF ore that were
penetrated by the crosscut and to
demonstrate the geological charac-
teristies in such manner as to aid
in development on other levels.
The crosscut on the 1850 foot level.
which is now progressing at sat.
isfaetory rate, has reached a point
less than 200 feet from the Atlanta
boundary, its objective point. When
the side line OF the Union Jack

company will discontinue work here
and the Atlanta company will then
continue the crosscut with the objecl
of opening and developing the main
Consolidated vein and TIE Merger

March he sustained a severe shock
that the family thought would result
in his demise Nevertheless he raj

SULZER' 5
LAWYERS
LOSEOUT
FIRST COUNT GOES FOR THE
STATE IN THROWING OUT
CHALLENGES.

ALBANY, Sept 19.-Sulzer's law
yers lost the first fight for impeach-
ment when four senators, challenged
because they were members of the
special investigation committee, were
permitted to sit in the impeachment
court. The vote was unanimous.
The morning was spent in argu-
ment and the articles of impeach-
ment were read.
Attorney Marshall asked to have
the entire proceedings dismissed on
the ground that the court was with
out jurisdiction, and the charges null
and void and of no effect. The
principal attack was directed against
the constitutionality of the assem-
bly, in adopting articles in extraor
dinary session when the subject was
not recommended in the governors
call The argument continued this
afternoon.

Of FREIGHT
ON T.8G.F|LLS
RAILROAD
YARDS
SHORTAGE OF DRESSED BEEF
OVERCOME BY GoL0FIELD
SHIPMENTS.

The railroad yards in Tonopah are
eongested as they never have been
before owing to the delayed move
ment of freight from the southern
gateway which was tied up at Gold
field for a week. The freight crew
has been kept employed handling
this class Of commodities and the
perishable shipments coming in from
the Hazen route have been added to
the passenger run every morning.
This has necessitated running a dou-
BILE header but the call for deliveries
was so pressing that the railroad
company thought it better to bring
the loads through in this way rather
than wait for complete restoration of
traffic at the western gateway.
The yards at the foot of Main
street have every foot of available
space filled with loaded cars that
are being emptied as fast as team
sters can get near the tracks.
One of the effects of the embargo
on the southern end was a shortage
of dressed beef which usually comes
from Goldfield and is handled b,
Wells Fargo. The washout at bridge
II prevented the meats from beinl
transhipped and when the breacl
was felled with trestle work the sup
ply of fresh meats in Tonopah hat
run down dangerously close to tn,
famine mark.
