Receives d Cuts
In Saloon Row

In a mix-up among the Italian
workers OF the quarry at Mound
House last night an individual
known as "Big Tom," but whose
rna could not be learned, re-
ceived twenty-one cuts, almost any
n Of which would have proved
serious had the knife wielder used a
larger knife than he did. AS it is
Big Tom," who was brought TO
town, will be confined to his bed for
some time.
The row started over a solo game
between Tom and the two Martini
brothers, in which the big fellow
struck the younger Martini. Almost
Immediately the saloon, where the
trouble took place was in an uproar,
and every Italian in the place had
jumped inAS the row., and when it
ended gore was despatched every
where.
Shortly after the row DR.. Jarrett
was sent for and after arriving and
patching up big Tom" as best he
could he had him brought to this
city.
In addition to his cuts Tom re-
ceived two broken ribs, the result
probably of kicks given him wh.e
the crowd had him on the floor. Two
others of the Italians also suffered
slight knife wounds.
Big Tom is well-known in the
mining camps in this section OF the
state and has caused trouble wher.
ever he has lived.
So far no arrestA have followe,
last nights trouble, but it is likely
that complaints will be made.

Collecting Funds For Road Work

Secretary Adamson and Al Karge
were busy on the streets today
rounding up subscribers to the funds
of the Good Road clue. 1t is the
plan to collect dues at the rate OF
so cents per month from subscrib-
ers for the next five months, each
subscriber paying a total of $3.50.
In nearly every case the citizens
asked to join have responded cheer
fully, and in a great many instances
the whole seasons dues have been
paid in advance. This having the
cash on hand makes it very nice for
the committee and very effective
when expenses are to be met. 1t is
no know yet how much the sum
collected will amount to.

900 Cars Pass
Through Carson

A trip among the garages in Car
son this, morning elected the fact
that during the last thirty days Mt
less than 900 outside autos have stop
ped in Carson for a longer and short
er time. At the Capitol garage it is
estimated there have been $50 who
have run their machines inside the
doors, some of them making small
purchases Of supplies, some larger,
and a few merely coming in to ask
for information. At Burlingame 4
fuckers the estimate is 800 for the
month, at R~aycraft's the same. and
at billions, $50.
Asked how much the purchases
amounted to the men in charge
guessed the amount to average about
ST a car. The fact that an auto
is not long on the street when its
crew has finished its business in 9he
town, makes this estimate look
large, but it is safe to say that the
estimates made are under rather than
over, both as to the number of cars
that stopped, and the amount OF
their purchases. These guesses lie
not take into consideration the num-
Der of cars THAI passed through owe
the Lincoln highway without making
a stop in Carson.
