STAMPEDE
SURE TO
BE HELD

Monday September LIST, 1913,
promises TO be a gala day for Ell
ko. This is the beginning of the
proposed stampede. If the pro-
posed plans are carried out it will
b a big show and one in which all
Nevada is invited to participate.
This VIII be the opportunity Of a
life time to witness the most Dare
Devil Riding; Scientific roping and
High links. cut by pretty COW girls
IN action and dashine buckyros in
costume that sat a saddle in the en-
tire west. Perfect horsemanship,
divine feminity on horseback; the
greatest aggregation of riders and
ropers ever assembled in one body.
The Independent suggests that
Wednesday, Sept. Sd be called Pho
neer day and that a vivid repro
duction OF Stage Holdups and In
dian fights be pulled off in order to
show the younger generation
some of the perils of Pioneer life
in the far west. A sham battle be-
tween indians and frontiersman
would be an interesting and pleas
ing attraction. This a all be ar
ranged and will prove to be a win
ner for the big show. On Pioneer
day the crowd of people who have
been the guests of Elko for three
days will be invited TO partake of a
sumptuous barbecue dinner furnish
ed by the business men of Elko,
free to all comers. 1t will be a
gastronomic feast and the taste will

will be ID pleasing "Reminiscences for
many years to come. One of the
big parades will be the most gor-
geous ever seen in the west. A
cavalcade of native lady eQues-
trinnes will be a conspicuous part
OF the big parade. One of the lady
riders will ride the famous Gar
cha Saddle" which was manutactur-
ed here in Elko. 1t is gold mount
ed, inlaid with diamonds and val
ued at $4,000. Prizes will be given
each day and all lady riders are
eligible for the contest in the par
ade or or the exh ibition grounds.
All old timers are invited to come
to Elko on this occasion. They will
be given a cordial welcome. Scenes
Of the west us they appeared fifty
years ago will be reenacted on
the streets of Elko. The past and
the present will be so nicely blend
ed that young and old will rea-
lie the mighty changes that have
taken place in this favored land of
the west.

RHY0lLTE OFFICE
GOING BEGGING

Rhyolite is so prosperous that no.
body down there wants to be post
master although it is one of the
highest paid fourth class postofRces
in the United States. Attached to
the office there is a salary of 1899
a year and nobody wants it.
The United States civil service
commission has announced that on
August 8 there will be an exami-
nation at Goldfeld to fill the "con-
templated" vacancy at Rhyolite,
age limit FL years or over and ap-
plicants must reside in the terri
tory supplied by the postofice and
has directed that for further par
ticulars" one should apply to the
local secretary Of the civil service
commission at Goldfeld or to the
postoffice at Rhyolite.
That looks fine but nobody has
applied and. according to those
who have been trying to stir up
some interest in the matter, nobody
will apply; So the place is going
begging. WED have to pay the
fare to Goldfeld to take the exami.
nation Rhyolite people are quoted
as saying, and the job isn't worth,

REV. MERCHANT S. RIDDLE

The subject of this sketch was
born at Chenille, Gilmer Co, West
Virginia on September 25, 1850
When only fifteen years of age he
joined the Ninety day Scouts of
West Vigirnis as drum,nar boy.
After the war was over he worked
in the logging camps and taught
school to help pay for his educa-
ton. At the age of eighteen his
first sermoa was preached with the
United Brethren.
From that time he has been in
the ministry continuously. In
Ohio he filed pulpits in the Con-
gregational Church. In Kansas a
transfer was made to the Presby-
terrain church win which he had
been identified ever since. While
at Eugene. Oregon, Mr.. Riddle
purchased the library Of MIR Geary
containing many old and valuable
books, many of which are now in
the library of the Elko Presby ter
ian church. In 1895 and 1896 he
occupied the pulpit Of the Elko
Presbyterian church including in
his faithful ministry all the sur
rounding valleys. Carlin, South
Fork, Mound, Huntington, La
noble, Starr and Wells. At the
conclusion of his Elko ministry he
was appointed Sunday School mis-
~sionary by the Sacramento Pres
bytery. This position was held for
three years, at which time he ac-
cepted a call to the Presbyterian
Church of Eureka. During his
connection with the Dakota Synod
he served two years as pastor
evangelist and and published the
North Dakota Evangelist, the Off
cial paper of the Synod. Brother
Riddles last charge was at Red
ding, California. 1t was during
his vacation that he was stricken
with fatal disease that baffled the
physicians. While in Oklahoma
he had previously contracted ma
larie fever that grew gradually
worse until it penetrated his entire
system entering the heart and de-
valopIng into tuberculosis.
Plans were being made to fill The
pulpit at Elko during his vacation
when he vas taken to the Merritt
Hospital in Oakland where he was
visiting relatives. At this place
he passed away at las Thursday
morning July 18th. From his late
residence, 1908 Washington Street,
San Francisco the remains were
brought to Elko, Nevada where he
"as buried from the church he so
faithfully served and his body
placed by the side of his son Clyde
who died in Elko in 1896. In
1906 Bro. Riddle joined the Hope
Lodge F. & A. M. Number 90 at

.GLER IS HURT;
WALLY SMITH To
TAKE HIS PLACE

TOE AGLER, the Atlanta first
baseman. injured a finger Of
y his right hand so badly last
night by catching it in a folding
chair that he will be out of the
game for week, at least.
To fill the gap, Manager Smith
will send Waly Smith to first, and.
will try out Jack Herman at third
base.
Agler's finger is in bad, but not
serious, condition The nail was
torn away, and Joe can do no play
ing until it grows back.
This accident will weaken the
Crackers considerably for their
games with the Boston Nationals.
However, Wally Smith can put up
a good game at first, and Herman
looks like a handy third baseman.
Manager Stallings has wired that
he will use the following players
in his games i'm Atlanta:
Maranville or Bues. shortstop;
Sweeney. second base: Devlin,
third base; Calhoun. first base;
McKechnie, left field Titus, right

n S a rule, the prep league bat
~ tiers are weak, and for this
reason the coaches this year
are devoting most of their time to
this particular department of the
game.
In the games played so far by the
prep schools Of this city a vast inn
provement over former years has
been shown in batting. Tech high
appears to have the hardest hitting
team while Marist has the hardest
individual sluggers. Tech high has
scored the greatest number Of runs
against the same teams than any Of
the other schools in this league.
Marist Has Sluggers.
When it comes to individual slug
gers. then Marist seems to have the
edge on the others Roberts, Allen
and Cheeves are the boys who line
EN- out. Roberts is no doubt the
heaviest hitter in league and had
more home runs to his credit than
any other player last year.
Roberts is some slugger but his
batting average at the end Of the
season does not compare with that
of the sure hitting Allen. Singles
and doubles are Aliens speciality,
and he bangs the pill with unfail-
ing consistency. Cheeves is another
of Marist's star hitters and is Coach
Beans best bet in a pinch.
Armistead Hits Hard.
1t is not so easy to get a line on
Boys high or G. NJ A, as they have
not played any practice games this
year. Armstead, of Boys high, has
a reputation from last season. This
man batted over 500 for the season
of fifteen games 1t is doubtful
whether ArmStead will be able to
don a uniform this season, az his
shoulder was dislocated last fall in
a football game and his physician
has advised him not to throw a
ball for six months.

ATTY GENERAL MADE
EXAMINATION
Lamar Extends His Evil
1.-THE Only Wall
Street Villain"

Washington, July 0.--An end to the
Wall street features Of the lobby inves-
tigation was in sight when the Senate
committee resumed its hearing yester-
day. David Lamar had asked permits
sion to make a final statement explain
ing Edward Lauterbaeh's charges Mon
day, that Lamar had assured him Sena-
tor Stone and Speaker Clark were anx-
ious for peaceful understanding with
Morgan and steel corporation interests.
There is no federal law under which
David Lamar could be prosecuted for
impersonating congressman over the tele-
phone, according TO the view OF officials
OF the department of justice after an
exa mination of the statutes. 1t devel-
oped Yesterday that Attorney General
MeReynolds directed an informal exam
nation of the case to determine wheth.
err any existing law covered the situa-
ton revealed in the testimony OF Lamar
before the lobby committee, in which be
admitted the impersouation of public
men. 1t was the belief of the govern
ment lawyers that the statute forbid
ding the impersonations of government
that law embraced only cases where in
tent to defraud could be shown.
A half dozen men prominently identl-
fed with wool manufacturing industries
in the United States and several con-
ected with campaigns for change in or
retention of the sugar tariff, were on
hand again yesterday to be examined
as to their lobbying activities. The wool
tariff witnesses included William Whit
man. Thomas O. Marvin, Winthrop l..
Marvin, all of Boston and S. W. Nc
Cdure Of Salt Lake City.
Under sharp fire of questions. Lamar
insisted that his only object was to
bring about "just such situation as
this investigation"
II am the one villain in Wall street
said Lamar bitterly. "All the rest are
actuated by the highest motives and pos
sess the highest ideals
Lamar declared the whole thing was
"a major Wall street operation travelling
on parallel lines" and insisted he was
latter Ledyard, Crayath, Evarts, Low
EFT and the Morgan steel trust, Union
Pacific and other interests and wanted
to force them to an open attack. 1T
was q fayorite method Of mine for pro
dueing an explosion when | wanted one,
he added
Lamar took the stand at his own re-
quest TO make statement taking up the
recital of the motives back of his re-
lations with Edward Lauterbaeh. II
realize perfectly that my life and char
acter are on trial before this commit
tee he began He argued that his
testimony and Lauterbach's had shown
they were not engaged in any effort
to get money from ]. p. Morgan & Co.
or other interests.
'I'n tell you what my motive was"
said Lamar. ut was either to force
these men to recognize the injustice OF
their attitude toward Lauterbach and
myself or force them to come out into
the open with the charges of blackmsil
they had circulated in New York for
years against both of MS. Ledyard and
his associates had ruined many men, and
/ was determined they should not ruin
me-"
