where the unfortunate mans stomach
was washed out 1t was found that
the food in the stomach and the sti
mulants he had imbibed, to certain
extent had neutralized the immediate
effects of the poison. The officers
conveyed Mr.. Tinney to the Mine
Operators hospital, where DR.. Brady
took charge of the case. At late
hour this afternoon he was still alive,
but no opinion was given as to his
chances for recovery.
Mr.. Tinney is aged 28 years. He
has a brother and two sisters in To
nopah. He was working at the Bel.
mont until about ten days ago, having
been employed there for several
months. He had no other cause to
attempt suicide other than the effect
of the stimulants he had imbibed and
the use of which he was attempting
to quit.

HIGH SCHOOL TAKES

ENTHUSIASM AND ENTERTAIN
MENT OF A HIGH ORDER
ARE SHOWN

Through the, generosity of Jules
Smith, who is one of the loyal boost
ers for the Tonopah high school, the
Butler theatre was turned over to the
high school last evening. Mr.. Tom P.
Walker, of the high school faculty,
maintained his reputation for proyid-
ing real entertainment for those for
tunate enough to be present. A
crowded house greeted the perfor-
mers, who executed their various
stunts skillfully and with no appear
ance of stage fright. The first num-
Der given by the high school was an
amusing parody on Romeo and Juliet,
given by ten boys. Louis Bahor took
the part of the lovelorn Romeo while
John Cuddy was transformed into a
wonderful Juliet. They were well
supported by chorus of eight boys,
The second number was a Dutch
costume song by Miss George Money
Miss Money had the typical costume
even to the Dutch wooden shoes, and
sang her song in her usual plasing
manner.
The last number, a variety of anus
ing gymnasium stunts in which con
cealed ropes and pulleys aided mater
tally in handling the heavy weights
was given by Henry Lamb and JOE
Feutsch.

William Tinney had been despond-
ent for several days. He had been
drinking, but it was not because he
desired to do so. 1t seemed that he
could not refrain and he was fight
ing against it. He said to friend
Monday: III do not quit drinking by

This morning at 11;15 he drew a
two-ounce phial of carbolic acid from
his pocket while in the Miners sa-
loon at the foot of Mineral street on
Oddie avenue and. before he could be
restrained, he had drained the bot
tie.
The police. station was called and
Chief Evans and Officer Peck res
pended. Meanwhile Tinney had walk
ed out of the saloon and down to the
front of the Colorado, where he sat
ON a bench. When the officers arriv-
ed he seemed to be perfectly sober
and there were no indications that he
had taken poison, but he told the
officers that he had.

Not only were nearly all members

GAME TO
SELECT A TEAM
ToNoPAH AND LAS VEGAS ARE
CONTESTANTS FOR THE
HONOR

In order to pick a girls team to
represent the southern district of Ne
vada the official game has been de
finitely scheduled to be played in To
nopah on the evening of February 25.
Las Vegas and Tonopah are the only
contenders for this honor. The win
ners Will play the ~;ampions of the
southwestern district. AT the present
time Lovelock appears to have a
clear field for the championship OF
that section. Tonopah won from Las
Vegas in a practice game played at
Vegas in December, but it is reported
that the Vegas team has improved
materially since that time and that
the girls from the south will make the
Tonopah girls work for all they are
worth to maintain their present
chances for the state championship.
Should Tonopah win on February 25
an effort will be made to have Love.
lock come to Tonopah for the semi
finals on March 4th, as Tonopah will
pay the expense of bringing Love
lock here; as Tonopah has one of the
best basketball courts in the state,
and as the state board of control OF
the interscholastic league will send
officials here to handle the game, IL
would seem that Lovelock has moth
ing to lose and everything to gain by
playing the game in Tonopah.

A domestic problem. vexing perhaps
a majority of families In this country,
forms the basic theme for the plot IN
"Bondwoman" which will be shown
at the Butler this evening. Inter-
woven with this problem Is the story
of husband trying hard to do the
right thing for his family. but failing
utterly because of his insistence in
supervising household expenditures
and assuming major share of domes.
tic responsibilities that most women
consider their especial care. A drug
addicted brother adds so his worries
and through his hideous lies he Is at
last separated from wife and child.
Most Of this domestic tragedy came
about as result OF the husbands
policy with regard to household ex-
penses and responsibilities. Maude
Fealy as Norma Ellis. wife OF ply
