BOTTLE OF COUGH SYRUP.

Mrs. Ed Cunningham, wife of Ed
cunningham, conductor on the T. &
G.. railroad. Is confined to her home,
corner of Crystal and Columbia, as
the result of a mistake which might
have cost her life. She has been
suffering from a FOLD for several
days and was using a simple cough
syrup. says Goldield Tribune. During
Monday night she awakened by a
spell of coughing and seeking re-
lief she got up in the dark, felt her
way to the shelf where she kept me-
dicines and got hold of what she
thought was her cough syrup. She
had seized a bottle of lysol instead,
however, and took a healthy swallow.
Immediately she felt her mis-
take and informed her husband
who notified a physician. Restora-
tivcs were administered and the
danger was averted. She was little
worse for her experience and rapid
recovery is assured.

MINER is BEATEN UP
IN GAMBLING GAME.

T. ID. Murphy, a miner, was bru.
tally beaten in a saloon at National
early Friday morning by c. B. Wise
man, formerly acting postmaster,
and James A. Day, a gambler, also
known as Slim" Murphy was
struck over the head several times
with a revolver. his skull being
fractured, his nose broken and sever
al teeth knocked out. He was also
kicked in the body and several ribs
broken.
From what can be learned Of the
affair the three men had been play
ing poker and Murphy won all the
money of the other two, amounting
to about $3.50. They then assaulted
Murphy and took the money away
fiom him.
DR.. CLANCY was summoned to at
tend Murphy and found that his
skull had been fractured and his
nose and several ribs broken. His
condition was reported by the doctor
as being critical, though he had a
fair chance of recovery.
Wiseman and Day were arrested
and their hearing on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill is being held
before Justice Hatch. In the mean
time Day was admitted to bail and

to send down a diver to examine the
vessel. If the breaks prove to be in
the upper side of the boat the air
pumping method must be abandoned
and the former plan of towing be
again resorted to. In this method
two scows are anchored over the
sunken boat, which is secured by
cables, and raised ten or fifteen feet;
then a tug tows the scows toward the
shore until the submarine grounds.
this operation being repeated until
the shore is reached.
THE towing method was attended
by many set backs. FIRST of all the
derricks were not powerful enough
and stronger ones were procured;
then the cable broke under the strain.
1t may seem strange hat cables
could not be had strong enough to
raise 200 tons, but the swell of the
huge rollers kept the scows alter
/ ately rising and falling and under
III is stain the cable snapped like
threads
Since Mrs. EIDE left Honolulu NO
important developments have occur
red in the efforts of the government
ito raise the F-4.
In the event of the failure of the
row method of forcing air into the
submarsible. the cid one will be re-
sorted to again. The cables will be
strengthened with chains and success
Ii c~onfde1tls expected.
1.-The storm has not altered the po-
sition of the boat continued Mrs.
EIDE, land it still remains at a depth
of 2s5 feet: when first found it lay
at a depth of 3O5 feet, bpt before the
: crm stopped the operations it was
towed up twenty feet along the bot
tom of the harbor."
According to Mrs. Eide the govern
ment has made every possible effort
to raise the F-4, and she is satisfied
that nothing more could have been
done. She asserts that the boat was
in good condition before the accident
and that her husband had v ex-
pressed the slightest fear of its being
unsafe.
When the body of Lieutenant EIDE
is found it will be brought to Reno
flor interment.

MRS. EIDE SAYS THAT
FL WILL BE RAISED.

Mrs. Alfred EIDE, who has returned
to her home in Reno with her two
little children who e left father
less by the sinking of the Inflated
submarine F-4. in an interview pub
lished in the Reno Journal, said:
The storm which halted the S
cue operations is over. and the res
cue crew is preparing to try a new
method to raise the sunken boat. An
air tube is to be attached to a valve
in the submarine, and air enough to
displace 100 tons of water will be
forced in. The submarine weighs
400 ions out of water, but only 200
tons submerged, and il 100 tons of
water can be driven out the boat will
be light enough to raise. The uc-
cess of this operation depends on
whether the breaks in the boat are
in the upper or lower side. Up to
this time the sea has been too rough
