author of "Natoma,'' the Mary Gar
den opera, lost her handbag contain.
ing $l,4O0 worth of jewelry and $500
IN coin, and lost it for Just one day.
She suffered much anxiety, of course.
but her anxiety was more than offset
by the inextinguishable glory, wonder
ment and barbarian joy the finding of
the jewels gave to two little Pah- Ute
Indian girls at Montello, Nevada, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
When Mrs. Redding arrived here at
the Palace Sunday night, via the Over
land, she discovered that she had lost
her handbag, and remembered that she
had left the train at Montello to stroll
On the station platform.
She Immediately notified Patrick j.
Kindelon, chief special agent of the
Southern Pacific, who detailed Special
Agent II. H. Gordon to search for the
missing valuables. When Gordon got
off the train at Montello what should
he see but two little Pah-Ute girls
sLrutting like little peacoeks up and
down the platform wearing proudly
displayed the Redding jewelry. They
tearfully returned the trinkets and the
money Now, Mrs. Redding declares,
she will see that the little Indian girls
are properly rewarded for the sacrifice
of surrendering the beautiful jewelry.

LtRGf ANTIMONY STRIKE
IN NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY

1t seems that nature has been partial
In the distribution of her many bless
ings, and that she has showered our
own state, Nevada, with the real rich.
ness of her finest treasures, saws the
Elko Independent. And the stories
that come through the columns of the
press and from different sources are
scarcely believable, at times. But they
usually prove to be true, and it causes
geologists to realize that when the
earth st crust was cooling, in the prim-
tive ages, Nevada must have been al
most solid sheet of metals. of DIFF
ferent sorts, which have since. of
course, been covered with soils of va
rious kinds, many of which are very
fertile and productive.
But as to the metals, very few days
pass without some very valuable strikes
being made in some section of the
state And they are the kind that usu-
ally grow with investigation. Yester-
day we received a phone from our spe
cial correspondent at Tuscarora, and
lie was all excitement, for they have
made one of the richest strikes up there
which the district has ever known, and
he may well be excited, for it may
mean that Tuscarora will come back =
stronger than ever, and that any one
concerned in the new find will reap
the benefit.
For they have just found a ledge of
antimony of great richness at Tusea-
rCra, and if you take the great mining
papers or the city dailies that carry
mining columns, you win notice that
they will be devoting columns to the
new find of antimony up there, for it
is the real thing. Fearing that our cor
respondent might be unduly excited
Yesterday, we decided not to print the
news until the samples arrived, which
he said he would send down by the
stage which arrived last night Say,
You ought TO see the samples Of anti
mony which the Tuscarora stage
brought in TO us. They are ON display
in our office and they are fine speci-
mems.
Come in and see them, we have hesi-
tated TO hand out this news until we
SAW the ore and were sure of its real
richness, but we hesitate no longer 1t
is high grade and our correspondent
says there are about twenty tons of it
IN sight with chances that there is a
large deposit yet undiscovered. The
presence of this valuable ore is a fine
thing for the district, and we are glad
for Tuscarora, as it win mean new
lease of life for the little camp, which
has had dull spell of few years.

WILD CAT TAKES POSSES
SION OF STATION HOUSE

The eastern states are flooded with
stories of Nevada, what a wild country
il is and country of savages, all of
which we Nevadans resent But oeca-
sionally there comes to light story
that bears out the wild tales, and one
that we have just heard is so good
that we are going to print it, Ralph
McElroy, an Elko boy, born and raised
here, is station agent at Golconda for
the Western Pacific. His wife (nee
Gladys Hunter) and family live in the
station building. A few days ago while
be was busy working away at the tele-
graph keys, he heard a noise, a soft
padding on the floor behind him, and
thinking il was one of the children,
paid no attention to it. But as it got
closer without the customary childish
greeting, he turned his head, and was
Mortified to see a monstrous wildcat
erouching on the floor just a few feet
behind him. II did not take him long
to give the cat the entire possession of
tine station room and when he left he
forgot to shut the door. The eat fol
lowed him out upon the platform and
finally took refuge under the walk,
where he shot it as soon as he could
get his gun. The eat had come out of
the hills, and Mr. MeElroy is wonder
ing why it passed the children without
III juring them, as they were playing di-
reetly in its path, as it looked TO be on
the warpath. He does not believe il
was rabid animal, although it was
puoor and sick looking.-Frec Press.

CHINESE COOK MURDERED
ON RANCH NEAR ELKO


The Chinese cook at the Mcintyre
ranch near Halleck was stabbed to
death last Saturday night and up to
today no arrests have been made, al
though the officers are confident that
they are on the trail of the guilty par
ties The body was found by Bne Judd,
the foreman, on his return TO the ranch
about seven o'clock. On entering the
house he found that the ranch hands
had already eaten supper, but that the
table had not been cleared off. He went
into the kitchen to look for the cook,
and not finding him there went to the
room where the Chinaman slept and
found the old fellow kneeling by the
side of his bed, dead. He had been
struck on the head with some blunt in
strument and in his back was knife
wound which had penetrated through
the lung and had entered the heart
Besides this, there were several other
wounds.
He had been dead but short time
when found, as the men on the ranch
said that he had surved supper to them
at six o'clock and that after eating
they had gone to the bunk house and
that they had heard no sounds of an
unusual nature. The knife with which
the murderer had done his work was
found lying on the floor by the side or
the bed and was one used by the cook
III the kitchen, butcher knife over a
foot long and as sharp as razor.
The dead Chinaman had been an EN-
ploye at the ranch for a long time and
was one of Mr.. Mciutvre's s most trust
ed employes.-Elko Free Press.

BIRD OF PARADISE
looming NEXT WEEK

As the knights of old had their ban.
ners, so the chiefs and kings of the Ha-
waiian Islands, before the annexation,
had their kahilis; the combination of
colors and the use of the feathers in
the making, determined their rank.
These kahilis form prominent feat
ure in one scene of "The Bird of Par
adise," when the girl Luana is told
by the old priest that she is a direct
descendant of Kamahameha l., and is
entitled to the throne.
The priest has brought from a secret
burial cave a chest which contains,
among other things, the Yellow Feather
Cloak, the kahilis and the token, all of
which are symbols of royalty and which
II is taboo for any save persons of
royal birth to wear. They are offered
to the girl as proof of her regal descent.
The kahilis appear to this day on the
coat OF arms of Hawaii and were col
leetlons of feathers in cylindric form,
fashioned to poles, which were from IL
TO 20 feet in length. At distance, the
punches of feathers appeared to be
plumes and the colors used designated
the rank of the owner. Those of the
relgning family were yellow. Persons
who had married into the kinglv
branch added red to the yellow of the
kahilis. Others of lesser rank. made
combinations of red and green, and So
en- down to the petty chief who used
the grey feathers of the gulls.
1t Is an Hawaiian belief that it is
plilkea (trouble) to take out these
kahllls In the sunshine and consequent.
~, even to the present day, on occa-
slons of ceremony or at the funeral
OF a parsonage of high rank, they are
rot taken out unless the day be cloudy
OF after sundown.
The kahilis shafts were usually made
OF highly polished wood, in which were
sunken the shinbone or one of the arm
bones of noted warrior or chief kill.
el in battle. In the olden days the
value of one of these shafts depended
entirely upon the number of bones of
persons of rank inserted in them. At
the present time, there are a numbr
OF ancient Hawaiian priests who are
still able to call by name and in their
correct order, the bones of dead and
gone warriors who have been honored
by being placed in kahilis staff.
1t was the Hawaiian custom. to se
crete the body after death, so that
the bones and teeth could not be placed
IN vessls intended for base uses and
thus bring dishonor to the memory of
the dead
All the properties used in the Oliver
Norosco production of Richard Walton
Tully's compelling drama of Hawaiian
life just before the annexation, are
authentic. Travellers who have visited
the Islands and who have seen the an
eient native life, will recognize the bit
of it shown in the first act.
Mr.. Morosco is sending this great
dramatic success and novelty to the
Nixon on Thursday, November IS.
