SHOT in SALOON
ROW AT LEADVILLf

Yesterday afternoon Constable Scott
Butler came in from Gerlach, bringing
with him G. H. Mickey, who was
placed in the county hospital.
Sunday evening Mickey engaged in
ar alteration with George Schultz,
better known as "Red George in the
latter's saloon at the mining camp of
Leadville, the trouble said to have
started over a woman. During the row
Meckey was shot by Schultz, the bull
let entering his breast, near the center.
Upon his arrival at the hospital yes
terday it was thought best not to probe
fer the bullet at the present time. This
afternoon the patient is resting easily,
and is considered in no immediate dan
ger.
Schultz was placed under arrest and
will be held pending the outcome Of
Meckey's injuries.
The injured man is a miner by oc-
cupation, 33 years of age, and was fol-
lowing his occupation at John Har-
mans mine.

get TOGETHER
SPIRIT PREVAILS

Rochester, New, June 20, 1915.
The inspiring aim of Rochester Is
the gettogether spirit" and gain for
the district the highest and best re-
suits attainable in the matter of pro-
duction and development of the dis
tinctive ore bodies and prospects.
The wealth production of the district
powerfully directs the attention of
mine makers and mine investors to
Rochester opportunities. In a success
full sense operators and investors are
beginning to do business in Rochester.
On an enlarged scale they impart that
vitality to the district which gives
mining such an influence and strength.
AS illustrated by the rich producing
gold, silver and copper district of the
world.
Rochester being a gold camp, firmly
established with credit production of
more than million dollars, signiii-
cantly indicates the world s progress
and opportunity in gold and silver min
| ing and offers substantial reward to
operator and investor.
That which constitutes mine is
fully proven in number of producers
over the Rochester area The known
producing properties of the district are
the Rochester Mines, the Weavers, the
Buck and Charley, the Original Roch-
ester, Octopus, Raven the Lincoln Hill
and the Packard. These properties, un-
aided by outside capital, have enriched
the worlds precious metal supply by
more than $1,000,000, and the camp is
only few months over two years old.
In addition to the producing proper

gent development will be of the impor-
tance and strength that has given Ne

immense profits to owners and invest

CHARGES ExTRAVAGAN(E
ON PiRT OF STATfOFfI(fRS

Extravaganza on the part of state
officers, which, if continued, will
soon bankrupt both the taxpayers and
state of Nevada, is the charge made
by Senator James Gault, of Washoe
county, in a public statement issued ar
Reno.
Senator Gault's statement is particu-
larly bitter in its attack on the state
university. The presidents cottage on
the University campus, the statement
says, was built with money loaned by
The People. Although this money has
never been repaid, improvements to
cost $4,000 are now being made on the
building.
A dairy and various farms purchased
for the University the statement con-
tinues, have been total failures from
financial standpoint
Still another portion attacks an act
by the last legislature appropriating
$4,000 for the construction and fur
nishing and maintenance of a state in
dustrial home. Senator Gault believes
boys should be sent to the Salvation
Army farm in California He also be-
lieves Nevada insane patients should be
sent to California, as was formerly the
case, referring bitterly to the recent
100000 appropriation for a roof for the
state insane asylum.

EIGHT PULLMAN CARS OF
pRIzE-WINNING BEAUTIES

Eight solid Pullmans of American
beauty passed through Winnemucea
last night at 9:15 clock, via the West
ern Pacific. The young ladies had all
been voted as the handsomest girls in
their respective towns of the east and
middle west, receiving as prizes free
trips to the Exposition, given by the
Universal Film company. They all ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased with
their trip and were especially thankful
for the excellent service provided by
the Western Pacific.
From Gerlach to Winnemucca the
train was in charge of>Conductor Wool
row and from here to Salt Lake in
charge of Conductor Whitney. Word of
the event was telephoned over town
upon the arrival of the train, when
Frank Reber hastily gathered together
a number of local connoisseurs, who
made dash for the depot, but arrived
as the last ear of the train was passing
the freight house.

PRosPEcToRs NEVER
so BUSY AS NOW

I. L. Julian, field engineer for the
Wingfield mining interests in Nevada
was in Carson couple of DAYS ago
and in talking of the mining game
stated that at no time since his connee-
tion with the mining industry in this
state had he seen such persistent pros
pecting and development of mining
properties as is now apparent. Every
where he has been miners and pros
pectors are at work and the latter, di-
verging from their former course Of
just locating and skinning a new find,
now put in more conscientious work in
an endeavor to prove up something.
AS result of this painstaking care
on the part of prospectors Mr.. Julian
is of the opinion that many valuable
discoveries will be announced from
mining sections this summer-Appeal

RABID COYOTE ATTACKS
CARLIN SECTION FOREMAN

At eleven o'clock this morning, when
a gang of Greek section men were
proceeding westward about five miles
west of Carlin, the foreman of the gang
was attacked and badly bitten by a
mad coyote, which was lying beside the
track Tt succeeded in inficting a
vicious bite upon the leg of the Greek
foreman. There were two dogs with
the section party and We're muzzled.
but despite the fact that they were
almost without protection, when they
saw that their masters life was in
danger they forgot all thoughts of
themselves and attacked the coyote,
although unable to do much damage to
hIm. In addition to the man being bit
ten both dogs were laeerated by the
fangs of the mad coyote, one of them
was shot and his brains will be sent to
the state institution at Reno to be
analyzed. The other dog will be kept
alive and sent to Reno to be held un-
der observation.
The Greek section foreman, suffering
with the bite, win go either to Reno
OF San Francisco for the Pasteur treat
ment. Luckily for him, as soon as he
was bitten, Roadmaster KilgcTe arrived
upon the scene, ana brought the 1Ore-
man to Elko.
This little incident is noteworthy for
three things. First, it shows that an
animal suffering with rabies is pos
sessed with mania to bite humans,
this coyote evidently lying in wait for
the approaching party. Second, it
should serve as a warning to people to
look out for unmuzzled CANNES of
every description; and third, it should
not be passed in silence without a com
ment on the faithfulness of the two
muzzled dogs, who gladly offered up
their lives as willing sacrifice to save
their beloved master from a fate worse
than death, and as a result of their
faithfulness, one of them today is dead
and the other is threatened with the
dreaded death by rabies.-oFree Press.

the four high school students who left
Reno to make the trip by boat from
the Virginia Street bridge to Pyramid
lake, as reported by Reno papers, con
cluded after reaching the big canal
which runs from the Truckee to the La

easier in the direction of Fallon, and

days. 1t is estimated that they covered
80 miles. They were ducked several
times by the boats overturning in the

swim out, and their baggage was all
soaked a number of times. These young
men are the first whe have ever made

IDEAL HIGH SCHOOL SITE
SELE(TED In EAST END

Last Saturday a site for the new
High school building was practically
secured. Some days ago COMMISSIONS
Hoskins wrote to the Boca Mill com
pany at San Francisco, asking their
price on four acres of their ground, sit
uated in the eastern part of town north
or the Southern Pacific tracks. After
some further correspondence on the
subject, the company sent their repre-
sentative, NJ II. Robbins, TO Winnie
mucca. Upon his arrival here last Sat
urday, he visited the proposed site, ac-
companied by Commissioner Hoskins
and H. W. Duncan, of the county board
of education.
After talking the matter over, Mr..
Robbins gave written agreement to
the officials, on behalf of his company,
tc sell the county about six acres of
ground, at a price of $3.50 per acre.
The land selected embraces about six
acres, and is bounded on three sides
by East Fourth and Reinhart street
and the Southern Pacific right-of- way.
The proposed site is centrally located
and is considered ideal in every respect
for the purpose, while at the price ask
ed the Boea mill company is practically
donating from half to two-thirds of the
ground to the county.
Commissioner Hoskins is to be COM
mended for the manner in which he has
handled the negotiations. While the
deal is practically closed, it must be
formally ratified by the county board
at its July meeting.

,,nder bonds of $500 by Justice Dunn TO

preliminary examination the latter
part of the week Mrs. Nelson was ae-
quilted of the charge of assault with
intent to kill.
After judgment had been pronounced
yesterday, Nelson was permitted TO
leave town, upon stating that he could
probably obtain bonds at Battle Noun
tain. where he had been working at
his trade of baker up to the day of the
shooting. This was practically giving

cred the best way out of the difficulty,

WINNEMU((A WINS SUNDAY
BALL GAME FROM FALLON

Sunday afternoon fair-szed crowd
witnessed a game of baseball between
the Fallon and Winnemueea teams at
Association park. The Fallon team, b.
hard work and lucky hitting, brought
two men safely across the rubber, The
locals earned two runs and counted up
five others they were not entitled to.
Winnemueca secured runs in the sec
ond and fourth innings, as follows:;
O Brien rolled a twister down to
short and beat it out; Critchley
reached first on a fielder's choice which
failed to retire 0'Brien Erskine also
was safe on an ineffective fielder s
choice, when an attempt was made to
catch o 'Brien at the plate. But Moy
let the ball get by him and 0'Brien
and Critchley scored, Erskine taking
third. Giroux safe ON felder's choice,
the ball going to the plate to catch
Erskine; but Moy, evidently mistaking
it for a force play, threw to first with
out touching Erskine-safe all around !;
Giroux stole second, Killilay sarcificad
him to third; Stadella beat out an in
field hit and Giroux scored; Walsh out
at first.
Fourth inning-Aiton safe ON tumble
at short; Giroux hit by pitched ball;
Killilay sacrificed; Stadella got two
bases on left fielder's error, while Alton
and Giroux came across; Walsh hit Il
right, scoring Stadella with the second
earned run, and making second on al
error; Christian and O'Brien out al
first.
The visitors scored one in the third
shirley hitting for two bases, taking
third on the THROWN of Krutosik's fly
to center, and scoring on Murray's hii
to left.
Shirley again scored in the seventh
or Powell's single and Moy's double
A peculiar feature of the game was
that each of the nine Winnemueca
players got one hit.
Better head work on the part of the
visitors would have meant other runs
foe them, and with Moy in his usual
form they might have won.
Critchley played a good steady game

catches, one after a hard run; GirouA

made a couple of other good attempts

Fallon did not appear. Snyder began
the game, but did not seem to puzzle
