Lodging receipt of enlistment papers
of the first three enlistments Sc
cured in GoldfeId. He authorizes
Mr.. Parks to state that as soon
as the mobilization of the Nevada
troops is completed and they have
been inspected, recognized and
mustered into the Federal service,
it is the intention of the war de-
partment to order them for duty
at the border. Also that Governor
Boyle has expressed himself to the
effect that the probability of a call
upon the national guard for police
service within the state is extreme
ly remote as it is the intention
and the policy to have the state
police organization look after all
internal disturbances.
Mr.. Parks states there have been
numerous applications for enlist
ment and that local interest in the
organization of the Nevada National
Guard is encouraging.

Oh. CHAMBERS
IS IN TROUBLE
CHARGED WITH TWO OFTEN
SIS AND SHERIFF GOES
TO ARREST HIM

The Carson News of July %
states that the sheriff of Placerville,
Cal. had left that place for Lake
Tahoe carrying warrants for the
arrest of d. H. Chambers and
Edward Kilgoe. d. II. Chambers
was formerly circulation manager
Of the Goldfeld Tribune and is
we'll known in Goldfeld. He left
here in 1913 to engage in the hotel
ing hotels at Lake Tahoe during
the summer months and in Califor-
MIA in the winter. Edward Kilgoe
is his cook at the lake resort.
The warrants were issued from a
complaint sworn to by Alfred L.
Chambers is charged with requir-
ing a female to work more than
eight hours a day, it being alleged
that Mrs. Dohrman was required to
work in the hotel laundry for II
hours in one day. He is also
charged with malicious mischief,
the complaint stating that he broke
open a trunk and suit case belonging
TO the couple.
Kilgoe is charged with assault.
it being alleged hat he struck Dohr-
man, and the latter says he was
wearing glasses at the time. The
couple told the district attorney
hat they had been sem away from
the resort after they had done on
siderable work at the laundry and
hat their ages were refused them.
That Chambers is guilty of the
charges alleged in the complaint is
considered improbable by his army
of friends in Goldfield, as while
here he bore a good reputation, par
~tiCularly as to his treatment of
those who worked under him, and
it is thought that when the case has
been investigated it will be found
that Chambers is not near the vii
liam that Dohrman and his wife
claim him to be.

MODERN HERCULES
GOES ON RAMPAGE
TERROR OF LOCAL POLICE
RUNS AMUCK ON MAIN
STREET

G. r. Dubbs, heretofore appro-
priately christened Hercules
second" broke loose on Main street
about eight o'clock this morning
for the third time during his resi-
dence in Goldfield. He imbibed the
fluid that cheers an ordinary per-
son and gives TO Dubbs superhu-
man strength, and paraded along
the street taking on all Corners.
He kicked, swung, bit, scratched
and used everything he had on al
whom he tackled or who dared
tackle him.
The first time he was arrested
was late last year, when he gave
Constable Ellingston and many help
ers a hard tussle, and about the
middle of March Sheriff Ingalls,
and numerous assistants had a des-
perate struggle with him before
landing him in Jail.
This morning an appreciable por-
ton of the male population of the
town climbed on top of him before
he could be downed. After being
thrown to the sidewalk he was
held by Deputy Sheriff Bogard, Jack
Aylward and Dell Wells while Bert
Smith bound him with ropes and
gagged him to prevent further bit
ing, as during the course of the
struggle, in which he was finally
subdued. several times the men
narrowly escaped his teeth. He
was loaded on a dray and hauled
tc the Jail, where he was placed
in a cell and after a violent demon
stIation that lasted for some time,
he fell to the floor exhausted.
When last seen he was quenching
the thirst caused by his exertions
with plain water. Dubbs is a small
man. but all who come in contact
with him this morning agree that
he is a fighting whiIlwind and that
# is useless to hit him, as the hard
er he is hit the faster he fights.
On March % he was released
on a s~ix-month's suspended sentence
pending good behavior and since
that time has been employed in the
mines, where his enormous strength
made him a star workman, but as
his conduct of this morning could
not be termed good behavior, he
sentence.

NO INDICTMENTS
BY GRAND JURY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY EMPOWER
ED TO EMPLOY DEPUTIES
FOR GAMBLING

The grand jury adjourned
from it's first session at noon today
and will not meet again until
recalled by the district ttorney
or the foreman. The following Is
the report submitted to Judge }.
Emmett Walsh of the district court:
I'VE have examined into h
charge of assault with intent to Kill
against Speed Barnes and have
found no true bill against him and
we herewith return to the court
the dispositions and statement taken
at the preliminary examination, en-
dorsed and signed by the foreman to
the effect that the charge is dism1s-
sed.
1--WE have examined into the
charge against Ralph richardson,
James Connolly, Gerald keenan, and
Earl Barnes annd the investigation
in this case is still pendig.
Concerning the gambling charges
presented t the grand jury, we lind
that while the evidence submitted
was convincing thai unlawful gamb-
ling has been practiced in Goldfeli,
it was so lacking in legal details
as to preclude an indictment being
found. Accordingly the district
attorney has been empowered 10
employ special deputies to gather
legal evidence and submit it to the
grand jury at a special meeting.
1--WE have examined into the
charge against B. Ohida and have
found no rue bill against him. We
recommend that a misdemeanor
charge be placed against him in
the justice court"
