TONOPAH SHOOTING SCRAPE
RESULTS IN ONE DEATH.

Frank Cecchini was shot and killed
by Paul Palya Tuesday night in front
of the Europa saloon on lower Main
street. near the railroad station in
Touopah. The shooting occurred at
$3.50, following a dispute over the
relative ability of the men to toss
dirt out of a hole. Owing to the
reticence of the spectators little
could be learned of the crime or the
cause leading to 1t and 1t was COM
monty believed that the tragedy was
provoked by discussion of the posi-
bilities of Italy declaring war at mid
night, says the Bonanza.
That this was moi the cause is
vouched for by the hangers on at the
saloon, who say Palya and Cecchini,
after drinking freely during the even
ing began discussing their physical
strength and the verdict vas left to
an actual test of the height to which
either could throw a shovel OF dirt
from a cesspool hole in the yard and
cecchini dropped into the mole and
began shoveling. Then he climbed
out and Palya refused to go further
with the test. The men walked into
the bar and had a drink. Then the
quarrel was renewed and Ceechini
walked away. going out into the
street. He had no sooner reached
the street than a shot was heard.
Cecchini threw one hand to his
breast and exclaimed MY God
walked back to the high sidewalk in
front of thes Europa and sat down.
Before any one could reach his side
he relied over. AL Wardle was stand
ing in front of the Hall liquor COM
pany's store and saw the shooting at
a distance of about 100 feet. He in
s~tantly called the police. Officers
Grant and Delzell responded
Cechini was taken to the hospital by
Deputy Billy Walker, but expired be-
fore reaching that place.
Palava. the alleged slayer, ran
down the street past the railroad de-
pot and took refuge in the lumber
yards of that district, where he was
captured half an hour later by Sheriff
Mally, assisted by Officer Peck.
The bullet entered the left breast
and came out on the right side,
: causing internal hemorrhage and
speedy death. The lead man was
only "a years of age, but a giant IN
! stature and development. He came
from Goldfeld a month ago and

she had been shot twice, n of the
bullets apparently grazing her neck.
The premises at the home resem-
bled a slaughter yard, pools of blood
being just outside the kitchen door,
and where the two lay a short dis
lance to the east in the yard. Blood
stains we're all over the porch, and
in the kitchen. 1t is the theory that
] udnich shot his wife with a revolver
while in the house and that she ran
away from him, and endeavored to
reach safety out of doors.
There are three little children in
the family, the Oldest being seven
years of age, the girl who ran out of
the house to give the alarm, and two
younger. They were in their beds
when the trouble started. there be-
ing a room between the bedroom oc-
cupied by the parents and the child
rem. In this room between the two
was found a revolver, with which 1t
is believed the woman was shot.
| According to Chief McGuigan, who
talked to the oldest girl, the couple
had apparently had words of some
kind, and she says that her father
! chased her mother all owe the house.
She also states that her father shot
her mother from the kitchen window.
According to those who profess to
know. Judnich was of a Respondent
disposition, and they believe that he
committed the rash act while tenn
I~porarily deranged. 1t is said that he
| worried over his debts. and was APP
prehensive lest he could not provide
for his family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Judnich and family
came to this city from Goldfield last
| January. From March to June, he
was employed at the Yellow Jacket
in Gold Hill, and about the first of
August went to work at the Chollar
lease. He had therefore not been out
of work continuously. and stood in a
good way of getting OF his feet finan-
cially. He is a native of Austria, and
was born near the boundary line be-
tween Austria and Germany. His
wife was a native of Ely, Minnesota,
where 1t is said her father and moth
er and sisters are now living. Mrs.
| Judnich was a young woman.
The family was we'll liked by all
who knew them. Mrs. Judnieh be-
ing a capable energetic woman. The
little children were cared for by the
neighbors, and later in the day were
taken to the hospital and placed in
care of the matron, pending the re-
ceipt of word from relatives.

GouDEIEID MAN CHARGED
WITH UNUSUAL CRUELTY.

Augustus c. Eisen, a mining man
and broker, with offices in the Me
chanics Institute building at Goid-
field. Is made defedant In a divorce
action filed In the superior court by
Mrs. Loya Wright Eisen, who charges
her husband with a long and I'M
usually varied list of cruelties. The
couple were married in Berkely. Dc
tober q, 1905, and have no children.
Alimony of 800 a month is asked.
Mr.. Eisen starts her list of alleged
cruelties by declaring that during the
winter of 1907, while the couple
we're living at a New York hotel, her
husband threw a brush at her. strik-
ing her on the side and leaving a
black and blue spot. She also de-
clares that during the same year.
while the two were visiting at Hon
olulu, her husband choked her severe
" enough to leave her neck dis
colored.
Coming down to more recent
events. Mrs. Elsen charges that dur
ing the past year in San Francisco
her husband twisted her wrist, beat
her with a pair of ~suspenders. and
on one occasion threw her down and
foreibly removed her shoes and stock
ings to prevent her going automo-
bile riding with her sister.
Essen was a pioneer promoter of
Goldfeld and was reputed to have
cleaned up over half a million on the
sale of the January and Febreuary
claims to the Goldfield Consolidated
Essen was secretary of the old Monte
yuma club and was one OF the fe"
who left Goldheld with money.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
IN VIRGINIA CITY.


One dead and one fatally wounded
is the result of a tragedy enacted
Wednesday morning at the home OF
John Judnich on South A street Vir-
ginia City, the victim of the terrible
affair being his wife. All indications
point to the fact that Judnich. while
temporarily insane, shot and killed
his wife, and then attempted to end
his W life. The body of Mrs. Jud-
nich was removed to the undertaking
parlors, where an examination was
made Of the body. 1t was found 10
contain many bruises and cuts. and
there can be no doubt that the wom-
an made a brave fight to save her
own life. Apparently the bullet that
caused her death entered her back on
the left side, and passing through the
body came out at the upper portion
of her right breast. That she re-
ceived the bullet while running
through the yard, and was shot from
the window. there seems to be no
doubt. The scratch on her back was
probably made from a bullet from a
revolver. The rife, with which Jud-
mich shot himself was found on the
doorway of the kitchen. Two empty
rifle shells were found at the house,
and two empty revolver shells. so
that the theory is that four shots in
all were fired. Judnich mumbled
much to himself, but nothing intelli-
gible has been cleaned that would
throw any light upon the frightful oc-
currences of the morning.
As near as can be learned the
tragedy occurred about 7 o'clock.
Mrs. Judnich probably being in the
kitchen preparing breakfast, for a
pan of potatoes vas found on top of
the stove. The neighbors heard two
shots fired, and Immediately follow
ing, the little 7-year-old- daughter of
the couple ran out of the front yard
screaming that her papa had shot her
mamma and himself. Mr.. Hosken
and Robert Kelly, who vas passing
nearby heard the cries of the little
girl. As they turned the corner of
the south side of the house, they saw
both Mr.. and Mrs. Judnich lying on
the ground close together, and it is
believed that Judnich had his arms
around his wife, until he rolled to
one side. Mrs. Judnich was dead.
and the man was breathing heavy.
Mrs. Judnich was beyond all earth
ly nelp, there being indications that

WHY PHOENIX SHOULDI
 HAVE A CANNING FACTORY

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 Why should Phoenix and the Salt
 River valley have a canning factory?
 Well there are several reasons.
 duce which naturally goes to waste.
 If We succeed as a community we
 must raise our own living as much
 as possible, and do our own manu-
 featuring, and keep our money at home. It is a logical fact that to
 raise our own vegetables, fruits and
 such other produce as can be can ned here, would increase the capacity of our farming industry, also furnish work for more men and women who come to our beautiful valley to make homes and rear their families This you will all agree with me, is the thing for us to do.
 Then comes the question of how to
 promote a canning factory and put lit on a paying basis. That is the one thing no one wants to try, but it
 must be done. It is not necessary to build large or expensive factory at first but there should be suffi- cient machinery to handle what can be raised within the next two or three years, and be built so that it's capacity can be added to at any time Another important feature is the finding of a market and estab- fishing trade mark or a quality of goods that will command good ! price and ready sale. Yes, another question is how to get our own deal CTS to handle the home made goods, or to get the farmers interested in this industry I would suggest some one else's opinion on this subject. 1 for long time have been studying lit and have failed to reach con- clusion as to how to get at it. | 1 think I have outlined q large subject and worthy of your consider ation, and would like to hear from some one interested through the press or by letter or call at our place of business, 517 North Tenth ! Avenue.
