SALOON OPENING AT TONOPAH
ATTENDED BY KILLING

e. w. Riley, proprietor of the Blue
Ribbon bar and cafe, on lower Main
street in Tonopah, was killed while
he and his friends we're celebrating
the opening Saturday night. Charles
Comersford was arrested and Is held
in Jail subject to the verdict of the
%coroner's jury. Indignation at the
~unprovoked assault was SO great that
II was feared that an attempt would
be made to capture the prisoner from
the officers, and in anticipation OF
trouble extra precautions were taken
to protect the prisoner, says the
Bonanza.
The killing occurred shortly be.
fore II O'Clock, when the house was
filled with customers and the utmost
good feeling prevailed. Comersford
had visited several other places dur
ing the early part of the evening and
apparently was in an ugly mood and
bent on making trouble. When he
reached the Blue Ribbon bar he was
fighting drunk. but at first gave no
evidence of his condition, until he
engaged in an alteration that put q
damper on the proceedings. Riley,
who was behind the bar, came out in
front and, in a persuasive tone, adj
dressed Comersford In an appeal not
to make any trouble In the house, as
it would drive the crowd away and
injure the opening celebration. Riley
spoke quietly to Comersford, walk
ing with him out TO the sidewalk,
finishing the conversation In a quiet
tone. AS Riley turned to enter his
place, a knife was flashed by Com
ersford and the blade sank in Riley's
side. This caused the wounded man
to swing on his a~ssailant, who thrust
the knife again and again in the re-
gion of the groin, where one blow
severed the femoral artery. Riley
back into the saloon,
bleeding from the last wound. An
effort was made to secure medical
attendance and a call vas sent for
an ambulance. Had prompt measures
been applied Riley would have prob
ably been saved from death. as the
only attention he required at the
moment was to apply a ligature to
the artery asd stop the hemorrhage.
The excitement shut out all thought
of this and by the time Riley reached
the county hospital he al In the
last stages and soon expired. Drs.

NEVADA MILITARY
SITUATION GIVEN AIRING

In an effort to clear up the confu-
sion that arose when the So members
OF the Nevada cavalry troop enlisted
in Reno, were discharged Friday
night by order of the war depart
ment, Lieut.. Gov. Maurice J. Sulli'
van, adjutant general of Nevada
came to Reno Saturday night and had
conference with the men and with
j. R. Curry. the recruiting officer
selected as captain by the recruits,
says the Reno Gazette.
Sullivan explained that the order
for their discharge had come from
the war department and was sent to
San Francisco and thence to Carson
City.
In a sworn statement made by Re
cruiting Officer Curry the following
points we're brought out: Curry
was appointed recruiting officer for
Washoe and Churchill counties on
July II, and was to receive SO a day
for his services, the state to pay the
bill. He was authorized to subsist
and quarter all recruits and WAS al
lowed 81 per day per capita for this
purpose. He was also authorized to
provide shirts, socks and underwear
for the recruits who needed them
When Reno was called or for vol
=
unteers to fight the fire at Verdi he
was granted permission to take Is
men to Verdi. Before the men were
taken to the fire they were not prom
ised any remuneration Dut their work
was so satisfactory that provision
was made to pay them SO each for
the nights work.
He also said that he had received
orders from the adjutant-general's
office, telling him to refrain from
asking the men to report every day
and not to ask them to quit work
PENDING mobilization at Carson City.
1t is possible that many of the men
who we're enlisted here will accept
the invitation of Utah or California
and Join the national guards OF those
as individuals.

enue, up to $173, 900 900 as against
1852, 600. 900 last year. There will
be an increase Of 14.3 per cent In

The state board of equalization.
composed of the assessors of the 16
counties, the members of the state
tax commission and the governor as
chairman, will convene at Carson
next Monday TO look owe and revise
the assessment rolls of the different
counties. In case the assessment val
uations decided upon by the different
assessors fail to raise the required
estimated revenue steps TO take care
OF the probable deficiency will be
taken by the board.
This year assessors have been in
strueted to levy on so per cent of the
total value OF all property subject TO
tax. Last year assessments were
levied on 20 per cent of the valua-
ton. The state board holds its ses-
sion from August 81 to the first Non

late. Death occurred at 1880.
Riley was one Of the best known
mill men in the state. A machinest
by occupation, he never was without
employment, having for the last
seven years worked for the Belmont
both In the Tonopah and Millers
plants. He was thrifty and saved
his money. although |. Is understood
he helped support a couple of sisters
back in Brunswick, Mo. Two years
ago he bought the Turf saloon at
Millers, which he conducted for some
time as an orderly and respectable
resort, until he resolved to go east
and visit his folks, whom he had not
seen since coming to Nevada. He
returned last week and began looking
around for a business opportunity,
when he was induced to lease the
two story Wheece building. adjoining
the Mint below Oddie venue. He
spent considerable money In refur-
nishing the place and decorating
with the intention of conducting a
high class resort.
The deceased was a magnificent
specimen of manhood, 80 years of
age, standing six feet n inch and
Weighing in proportion. He was dark
and enjoyed a complexion that any
m might have envied. Both
parents are dead, but he was devoted
to his sisters and as late as Saturday
afternoon mailed the girls expen-
sive shirtwaists. The remains will
be shipped to Brunswick, Mo.
Comersford has been regarded as a
bad man who was always ready to
pic k quarrel on the slightest provo
He is credited with having
killed another man at Ludwig, New
ada. but was acquitted as the EVIL
dence was not conclusive. The man
he was alleged to have killed in the
copper district was struck by a rock,
but there was Just enough doubt
about the testimony to save Corners

Riley came to Millers eve years
ago from Garfield, Utah. with high
recommendations. He has three
brothers in Hanford, Texas, and one
at Brunswick, Mo. The body
will be shipped to the latter place.
