BEATS BOARD BILL
AND LEAVES CAMP

George Layelle left camp Saturday
owing Mrs. Harrington a bill for
board. He had the money to pay, but
preferred to beat it to the west and
left on the morning trail, say the
Tonopah Bonanza. He thought he
would be followed, so tried to elude
the officers by buying tickets for him
self and two companions to Blair.
There he bought three tickets for
Nina and at Nina bought three more
for Luning. with the intention of con-
tinuing through on the goodness of
the conductor or the brake beams.
which ever suited conditions. Every
thing ~prospered and the jorney was
continued TO Luning, when two of his
companions were kicked off the train
and Lavalle was left at the station.
Then he started to walk back to Nina
and succeeded in walking into the in
viting arms of an officer who wanted
him on a telegram from Tonopah.
Deputy Constable Peck brought La
velle back and the fugitive was hailed
before Judge Dunseath. who gave
him sixty days in the county jail.

1t is probable that the Carnival
Amusement company will have % at

free show. The company will be a
big free show. The company has
augmented its attractions by purchas-
ing those of an amusement company

at Antioch, California. Secretary
Updike is in communication with a
number of bands and baseball clubs
and feels certain that there will be
music in plenty and that the ball
tournament will be n of the big
features of the carnival.

The ~dressmaker, a colored woman,
was aroused from sleep by the crack
ling of flames and the acrid smoke.
She ran from her couch to the front
room and caught down a pair of por-
tiers that we're ablaze. These she
carried through the room, scattering
fire all along the way.
Then, crying fire. she leaped from
a real window, striking on a tele-
phone wire and, then hitting the
ground.
The firemen carried Mrs. Becks
across the street to the B~yington
building, where she received medi-
cal attention. One stream, from the
chemical engine, conquered the fire
in a few minutes. with the result
that little damage was done to the
building and none to the meat mar
ket below. Insurance overs the loss
to the building. Several expensive
gowns were destroyed or damaged by
flames and smoke and chemicals.
Prompt and efficient action by the
central department prevented a fire
that threatened property if large
value.

FINDS NEW GOLD
FIELD IN NEVADA.

A letter received by Robert o..
Pearson of Salt Lake City from his
brother in Nevada tells of a new gold
strike in Ehe vicinity of Geiman
Troughs canyon in the Wild range.
thirty miles south of Battle Mountain
The district was discovered by j. H.
Mccoy. He says the gold occurs in
big iron lodges filled with jasper
quartz and the veins are from fifty
20 100 feet wide. The gold is very
course and runs, he declares from
$50 to $500 a ton, an average Of
eleven assays showing sT3.
The district has from twelve to
parallel and the formation of the
country is lime, porphyry and
quartzite. So far as determined. the
district is mineralized for sever or
eight miles north and south and
| crosses the range east and west from
the Reese River valley to the Buffalo
valley. 1t is said that within the past
five or six days about ninety prospee-
Tors have 1ocked into the new fields
and that new faces are appearing al
most hourly. The letter says in
part:
Mccoy has the big thing, but we
are his next door neighbors and have
nine claims that show nearly as well
in the pan as his. and we will reap
a good fortune ourselves. We have
located two claims for you and you
had best come at once and get more
ground II possible, as this camp is
destined to be the second Goldfeld
of Nevada. The whole country
south of Battle Mountain in this
range is mineralized either in placer
or quartz. We expect you in camp
in a very short time.--Salt Lake

ASPIRES TO BE
TREASURER OF NYE.

Daniel j. Robb has announced him.
self a candidate for the Office of
county treasurer. subject to the ap-
proval OF the Democratic voters at
the county election. Mr.. Robb is one
of the oldest settlers of Tonopah and
has been operating a blacksmith shop
ever since the movement began in
this direction. He had a shop at
Sodayille and followed the movement
into Tonopah and has remained in
business ever since.
Mr.. Robb came into the state from
California in 1872, when he engaged
in business at Phoebe. Then he re-
moved to the western end of the state
and was elected sheriff of old Esmer
aida county i'll 1878, when the county
seat was at Aurora. Mr.. Robb was
instrumental in securing the removal
to- Hawthorne and followed the Of
fee to that town and was rendered a
third term nomination without op-
position, but refused the honor. Com
ing to Tonopah he was appointed to
fill the ~unexpired term of Sheriff
Owen and served in that capacity for
six months. Mr.. Robb has to his
credit the fact that all votes cast in
his life have been cast in Nevada, and
that he has been recognized as of
the most earnest and sincere workers
in the best interests of the camp. His
shop is one of the historic institutions
of the camp and his well-tried hon
esty Is proverhial in the whole of the
southern country.--Tonopah Bonanza

fall and wounding May so badly that
he could utter but a few words in

Another version is that IL was

ceived that May carried a large sum
