when the main line passenger train
was leaving yesterday morning the
passengers and crew We're requested

titled and word was Immediately sent
to Officer Borchert at Cherry Creek
to keep lookout for the man. Upon
the return trip Engineer Noble was
the same man who was then about
six miles from Cherry Greek and it
is quite possible that an arrest will
follow. Chris johnson, who was at
tending to business in connection
with his ranch in Pleasant Valley,
while returning noticed Greek
walking across the flats near the
Magnuson ranch. Johnson brought
the Greek to Ely, who, being unable
to give a satisfactory accounting of
himself was lodged in Jail. 1t is
thought the man seen by Engineer
Noble along the track is the one who
did the stabbing, but the one picked
UP by Johnson may be one of the
friends who assisted him in evading
the officers. ,
Doughman, after notifying DR.. d.
W. Bedinger at Ruth that he was in
jured, started in his own car to go to
the doctor DIR. Bedinger likewise
started from Ruth toward Riepe-
town. He met Doughman on the way
and took him back to the emergency
hospital at Ruth where his wounds
were dressed. Doughman was later
brought 10 the Steptoe hospital
where he is now under the care of
DR.. c. f. Early. 1t is said that his
wounds are not necessarily danger

be out of the hospital in short

feet. II is said to have the best sur
face showing in the country, while
the ledge which has an average of
about five feet in width runs about
seventeen dollars in gold and silver.
There is large quantity Of ore on
the dump which can be worked to
good advantage by. mill and the
erection of suitable mill on the
property is one of the chief objects of
Mr.. Tupper's visit at this time. A
stamp mill of at least twenty tons
capacity will be erected. This will
insure the working of the mine at a
handsome profit. Dick Millick, who
is one of the best mining men in this
section of the country, is in charge
of the property. He has force of
men at work which will be largely
increased in. the near future. With
a mill on the property and the saw
ing which can now be made by mod
ern methods of transportation FRONT
the mine to the railroad there seems
to be no doubt that Mr.. Tupper and
his associates have taken a bonanza.

Roy DOughn7dn Stabbed
in the Back BY a Crozed
Greek at RiepetOWn

At about $50 p. m. on Friday
night Roy Doughman, a driller en-
ployed at Copper Flat, was stabbed
in the back five times by a Greek
The stabbing occurred in Sadie
Leonard's saloon at Riepetown. He is
said to have been in this district but
short time and is described as be-
ing about five feet ten inches in
height, weight about ITO pounds, of
dark complexion, dark mustache and
goatee, large lump on side of neck.
1t appears that Mr.. Doughman,
who is well known and we'll regard
ed. drove through Riepetown in his
car. He was ON a business mission
and was preparing to leave for
Tonopah on Saturday morning where
he was to be initiated in the order
of Elks. The Greek had been around
and about Riepetown drinking more
or less during the day and had been
extremely quarrelsome. He had
trouble in various saloons and
eventually visited the Pastime Club
where he engaged in an argument
with Herman Bress After consider
able trouble during which chairs
passed thronght the air and windows
were broken, the Greek was finally
thrown out into the street. When
he pulled himself together he evil
dently took his knife and started on
drunken stabbing expedition with
out regard apparently for anybody,
just so long as his thirst for blood
in his intoxicated condition was sat
isfied. He happened to come up
behind Doughman and without warn
ing inflicted five wounds In the
back Sheriff Grain was notified by
telephone and Immediately left. with
Deputy McKernan and George Jet
ter FOR the scene of the trouble.
The Greek was assisted by two of his
eountrymen after the stabbing. The
officers traced him to the foreign
quarters at Copper Fiat where no in

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
DISCUSS ROAD BUILDING

A meeting was held by the board of
county commissioners on Monday and
the question of a new road across
Jake's valley was discussed. There
has been considerable ore hauled
from Hamilton to Eureka for ship
ment and 1T is the belief of the COM
mlssioners that new and better road
can be built across the valley which
will give the freighters a better grade
and bring the ore shipments this way
me commissioners are determined
TO Keep up their excellent reputation
for road work and as soon as there
is sufficient snow fall to afford a
water supply for the men at work.
the new road will be started and
pushed to completion. 1t is estimat-
ed that the cost will be about $1,000.
Nothing in the world will bring bet
ter returns or be of greater value
to our citizens than good roads and
the commissioners deserve great
credit for their energy In this direc-
tion.
County Treasurer Bath was au-
thorized to pay two county notes
amounting to $500 with interest.
Several applications have been
made TO the Board for widows ex-
emption on the tax roll. The roll
has now been closed and the Com
missioners find the exemption ques-
ton Derplexing one. It was decid-
ed 10 meet again on the fourth in
order to give all those who claim such
exemption an opportunity to appear
before the board. The district at
torney will 90 into the legal side of
the question and after hearing all
sides the Commissioners will decide
upon what action shall be taken. 1t
IS doubtful If any remedy can be
found under the law
A. d. Dbrsett appeared and made
application for a license 10 conduct
a saloon at steptoe City He was
given but little consideration az the
board does not look with favor upon
such applications. Mr.. Dorset had
had been but a short time in the dis
triet Commissioner North stated
that many families had moved up to
what is known as steptoe City near
the smelter since the saloons there
were abolished, and he felt that the
opening OF saloon in that neigh
borhood would result in trouble The

on a few matters of minor import

ENGINEERS BALL WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS

The first annual ball given under
the auspices of Steptoe Valley Di-
vision Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers in the East Fly Audi
torium on Thanksgiving eve was an
unequaled success. Dancing was en-
joyed until the hour of one o'clock
when il was necessary for the large
crowd TO leave in order to catch the
special trains which had been ar
ranged
The large auditorium was taxed to
its capacity. There was scarcely
room to dance at times, but the good
natured engineers and their legion of
friends enjoyed every minute of the
evening which passed all too quickly.
The hall was beautifully decorated
for the occasion and the replica OF
Engineer Hartman's No. 80 which
was arranged on the stage in the
auditorium attracted much atten-
tlon. The committees in charge were
as follows:
Reception Committee - Mesdames
Hartman, Beverly. Smoot, Whitlock.
Glenn and Allison. Messrs. Hartman.
Beverly. Smoot. Whitlock, Glenn, AL
lison and Smith.

Temps to-day.
THE exact cause of the explosion
has not Yet been determined" says
the newspaper. 1.-The Investigation
conducted has developed that one of
the buildings contained boxes of am
munition which came from the United
states some time ago. 1t was dis
covered that in one of these boxes
was an apparatus designed to cause
dcfiagration. The box of explosives
was rendered harmless and the lab
~oratory examination which followed
disclosed interesting facts. All the
other cases are being carefully in
spected.
While tho orkm are known to
be exceedingly careful. it Is eco
nized that in the handling of eXplo-
sives i~mrrudence always is possible.

the American government regarding the
freedom of the seas because President
Wilson had explained this to the Ger
man government, thus implying that
Austria, as GermanY's ally. should be
acquainted with the principles laid down
and desired by Washington.
Against this stand of Washington the
objection is raised in responsible quar-
ters here that the government has kno"i-
edge of the negotiations In the Lusi-
tanla case only through the newspapers
That 1t could give to these reports no
diplomatic value, and that It has not
concerned itself in any way with the
Ltisitania case.
IL Is pointed out by the same author
ity that the American government can
scarcely demand that the imperial and
royal government base It's policy upon
newspaper reports and 1t is suggested
that in any case 1t would have beer

communicated the memorandum of its
standpoint to all helligerent govern
ments in which case the present mote

Austrian Charges story about Pass
ports Probably Accepted.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE State depart
ment probably will accept the eXplana-
ton made by Baron Erich Hwiedlnek'
charge of the Austro-Hungarian embassy
here, regarding a letter he wrote to the
Austro-Hungarian consul-general in New
York suggesting that neutral passports
be bought to assist r~eservists in this coun-
try TO reach Austria-Iiungary.
The letter was written while DR.. Con-
tantin Dumba, the recalled ambassador,
was in charge of the embassy. Baron
Zwiedinek called upon Secretary Lansing
the day after it was published and eN-
planned that he was IA subordinate official
at the time and was acting under the in
structions of Or, Dumba. Secretary
Lansing did not indicate what his view
would be. but it is learned that there
is no disposition at the department to
question the CHARGES statement that he
was not responsible for the letter.

This valuation is an increase Of about

The total value of the 1913 crop, estimated
at 1916. GO,O00, was S2sS, 10000 more than
