In each production every member

RIGHT YOU ARE,
BROTHER HOLMAN ]
WESTERN NEVADA MINER is
SYMPATHETIC TOWARD THE
BONANZA

Colonel Bill Booth of the Tonopah
Bonanza has been arrested couple
Of times on charges of criminal libel
preferred by county officials of Nye
county, and is promised the excite
ment of some more arrests in the next
few days, says the Western Miner.
The colonel in the interest of the tax
payers, has, through the Bonanza,
been joyously slapping certain coun-
ty officials In the Stats in an effort
to find out what they were doing with
bales of "kale" which they were ex-
tracing from the pockets of the over
worked taxpayer. The army of tax
payers is growing larger and its ap-
petite more voracious every year, and
it will take hundreds Of Booths and
Bonanzas to curb the menace and
greed of this growing evil. More

TO THE PUBLIC

Monday, November Goth, has been
named as Old Clothes Day by the
Christmas Tree Executive Committee,
and upon this day we are going to
ask that every man or woman in
Tonopah, who desires to assist in this
charitable work, gather all clothes,
underwear etc, for both young and
old alike, into a bundle, and either
bring them, or telephone the Chief
of Police office, where the committee
on distribution will make their head
quarters, and they will see to it that
each and every article will reach a
needy family.
Do not hesitate as the good work is
now going on, and your executive
committee is going to see that this
Christmas will be one of the happiest
for both young and old, that Tonopah
has ever had.

which trades have been discussed. Herein is seen by some, the effect of the third term boogey, on the estimable organization. Knowing the diStaVor which the national demo- cratic party has brought upon the third term, as a piece of political merchandise, it is quite likely that Messrs. Hunt, Callaghan. Osborn and innumerable lesser state and county officials who face the prospect of asking the electorate for third helping, will all be urged to hunt up another brand of pie. Indeed, the third term thing has been called the most imposing barrier to MT. Hunts next nomination. And that MT. Hunt will seek another nomination. whether his entire and undivided party wants him or not is a foregone conclusion.
 Charles R. Howe will be a candi- date to succeed himself on the state tax commission. He got the chair manship, and the short term. and will face the end of his term next year. He has made tax commissioning his life work. and if he runs. for any thing will attempt to repeat. Face tious demos are expressing dreadful curiosity to know who Tom Camp bell, as "our next governor" will ap- point as his own successor. to fill up the tax commission.

do but tender him a job on the Interstate Commerce Commission?
 Among the crop of democratic pos abilities ushered in with yesterdays gusty morn, was w. Paul Geary for attorney general. Geary has inti- mated to friends that he would serve out his term on the corporation commission, and then get him a job being private citizen. But Geary's friends have intimated to Geary that he would make a fine successor to Wiley Jones, in case that Willy Jones lands the gubernatorial billet.
 All of which brings the discussion to the first chief objective, which is
 The Third Term Boogey

Speaking of Jones for governor. some of the pre-prinlory sorters of democratic material, have given that name a double application. to such a good purpose, that two Joneses are now said to he in deceptive mood toward the candidacy. where only a pair of office holders bloomed before. F. \. Jones. corporation commissioner. is the new Jones whose candidacy has grown up over-day.
 But alongside of the possible gu bernatorial ambitions of Jones, are other possibilities which some say he will he too wise to overlook. It was pointed out yesterday that while r. A. would make a good governor. and might even lead the party to victory. his better bet would be to play for U. s senator against Henry Fountain Ashurst. If elected, he'd be there. If defeated-well, what could sympathetic democratic president

ous of the many disturbances along the border.
 No new orders were given General Funston. He is in full charge of the border situation and authorized to deal with emergencies as may be necessary. Repetition of such affairs as that of today may be followed by American troops crossing the border to deal with escaping raiders and their accomplices.
 The matter will be laid before the state department tomorrow in order that representations may be made to Carranza. whose troops occupy the ter ritory opposite Progresso.
 Following is Major Andersons re- port:
 "A party of about eighty Mexicans attacked the storehouse at Progresso and the postoffice about daybreak this morning, broke into the store footed the place and set fire to it. A detachment of troops B and C of the Twelfth cavalry. numbering about twelve men, were fired upon fire was returned.
 Private Henry Stubblefield of Troop B was shot twice in the body
 
 from all sides. Four officers and about sixty of our men participated in the fight Firing kept up for about two hours.
 Captain Anderson who was in command, received slight flesh wound in the arm. Two horses were killed and one wounded.
 The Mexicans were pursued in the brush to the river. Several hundred Mexfcans on the other side of the river kept up a heavy fire to cover the crossing of the Mexicans. A large part. if not all, have recrossed now (5:2D o'clock). The Mexcans fired some two thousand shots and our men about one thousand. Two Mex jeans are reported to have been shot in a boat crossing the river. Several were shot on the other side of the river.
 Some Mexicans were in uniform and some in civilian clothes.
 "A captain was reported in full uniform. There are sufficient troops here to handle the situation
 An early report from General Fun ston quoting Colonel Ballard at Har- lington said:
 The officers described the Mexican raiders as Carranza soldiers" Major Anderson's report only said that some of the Mexicans were uniformed but the territory across the river from Progresso is completely under Carran- ga control.

The trial of the case will begin in superior court next Monday. The suit in which the plaintiff asks for judg- ment for s25.O0O was an incident of the prohibition campaign of a year ago. The plaintiff who was in charge of the campaign alleged that the de- fendant had circulated a report that he had served a term in the Iowa 
 In his deposition yesterday Mir. Wolpe said that he had not circula; ed such report and had not discussed the report. Later MT. Wolpe in a private conversation denied that he had ever talked with any one at any time regarding such a report con- corning the prohibition advocate.
