TRICK PLAYED
ON TONoPAH MINER

A Tonopah miner, a Finlander, un-
derwent an unusual and rather un.
pleasant experience night before last,
says the Bonanza. The details of the
case IN not clear, but it is reported
that they were somewhat as follows:
The Tonopah miner met a fellow
countryman, who is commonly known
as Hill, and who is engaged in leasing
at Goldfield, drove over in his auto
mobile and the two proceeded to i'm
tibe together. About midnight Hill
suggested that the miner return to
Goldf1eld with him. They set out to-
gether and when about eight miles
from town Hill suddenly drew a gun
on his guest and told him that he
would kill him If he did not take off
his pants, shoes and stockings and hit
the back trail. Just as the sun was
rising yesterday morning the Finlander
limped into Tonopah, somewhat
dishabille as we'll as footsore. No ar
rest has yet been made.

This MAN MADE SURE

MY wife and I looked at it from
e business standpoint" said a friend
last week.
Men protect their business. Yet
many Of them put of protecting home
and dependents. Business loss is Of
ten replaced, but in life u loss is
total. l figured that my earnings are
my wife's income. With me gone her
income ceases. So I protected her.
Now If anything happens to me, ]
don't sentence her for her remaining
days to a life of hardship and misery.
She will have enough to live com.
fortably. And 1 am making certain
that If I should die the payments on
my home will not stop and leave her
without a roof over her head.
Il know two men who put off taking
insurance so long that they could not
pass the physical examination when
they were ready. 1 am glad 1 didn't
make the same mistake"
You will never know what insurance
means to you until you investigate
fully. Get the facts here. No obi
cation on your part. Phone or let's
talk 1t over.

Telegraphers' Union OF America, tes-
tilted from their respective view points
before the United States commission

Konenkamp referred to some
methods of the Western Union as

operators as Slavery"
Carlton said that so far as he was

The witness opposition &c the or

who followed him on the stand, was
made plain in various utterances.
He admitted the principle of col

with. The men should have some
organization to protect their inter
