ROBBERY IN
NEVADA SALOON
Robbers Reach Through Window and
Take None From Table
and Make Getaway

Saturday night SOME time between
IL and John Brown. proprietor of
the Nevada saloon on Silver Street
opposite the Western Pacific railroad
was robbed of three hundred dollars
in gold coin.
AS is his custom Saturday Mr..
Brown drew out $500 from the bank to
cash pay checks for men coming late
TO town He sleeps in room al the
rear Of his saloon and he put the
money in a cigar box and the box in
the drawer OF little stand in his
room.
He cashed a number of checks. in
all about 5000. the last about IL p. m.
He sat all evening at the card table
just outside his bedroom. and when he
retired about one the drawer was Oh.
en- and the cigar box and money were
gone. But the thieves had left the
pay checks underneath the cigar box.
Entrance to the room had been gain
ed by pulling loose the bottom of the
screen over the window, the window
being UP. 1t is probable the robbers
simply reached in their hands and
took the money. The cigar box was
found next morning outside the win
dow.
Mr.. Brown at once notified Sheriff
Harris but there We're no clues that
would lead TO the apprehension OF the
thieves.
Mr.. Brown thinks there were al
least two men. One watched in front
while the card game was in progress
and the other lifted the money.

SHOOTING SCRAPE
SATURDAY NIGHT
Two 6ascos Quarrel over Gambling
Debt and One Lies in Hospital
Dangerously Wounded

81
ing scrape occurred Saturday night in
the barroom of the Star Hotel. Two
Basuues. Roman Iraquen and Teles.
foro Pitaro quarreled over gambling
debt.
Suddenly the latter drew an aut 10.
matte 81 Colts and commenced shoot.
ing. Four bullets struck Yrauucn.
The first shot struck him in the
knuckle when he threw up his hand.
Two other shots entered the body.
one passing near the lung and the
other striking near the breast bone.
The fourth shot went through Yra.
quen's right cheek.
Several shots. at least two. went
wild. This was about one o'clock
Sunday morning. The crowd in the
barroom scattered when the shooting
commenced
Pitaro when he had emptied his gun
fled. Sheriff Harris was tclephonCd
and was soon upon the scene with his
deputies and Constable McMurtrey.
They searched the town all night.
About seven o'clock they found
Pitaro sitting on the steps at the court
house ready to give himself up. He
said he had crossed the river after the
shooting and had slept out. In cross
ing the river he fell into a hole and
had to swim out. He said he threw
his gun away
PitarO said. Il don't know, guess
go crazy" This was his explanation
of tie shooting.
Yraquen keeps IA saloon at Jack
creek where he has lived for four or
five years. Thursday night Pitaro
was playing the gambling game of
Basque Moose in Yraqucns saloon.
He is reported to have lost $3.50
cash and also two checks on the Hen
derson bank, one for 5000 and the
other for $1,000.
Saturday the two men came TO ElkO
in Angeles car. Both We're armed.
Their coming together was an acci-
dent. Pitaro has said that he would
not have come if he had known Yra-
quen would be aboard
The men both stopped at the Star
Hotel and had supper. They drank
wine at their meal But they are said
not TO have been unduly drinking
when the shooting occurred
On the way down Pitaro had told
Yraquen that he did not have money
enough in the bank to cover the
checks. Yraquen is said to have Of
fered that night to split the checks
if Pitaro would pay.
The men quarreled and ii Is said
Yraquen called Pitaro names. The lat
