BERNIE Wins IN
TONOPAH MATCH
GAINS TWO STRAIGHT FALLS IN
LITTLE OVER ONE
HOUR

Before one of the largest crowds
that ever attended an athletic show
in southern Nevada, William Berne
on Christmas afternoon in Tonopah
won the finish match with the
Masked Marvel in two straight falls,
the first in As minutes, Is seconds,
and the second in IA and one-half
minutes.
In the fight between Kid Carter,
a negro heavyweight, and George
Pappas, Carter was given the deci-
sion at the end of 10 rounds OF slow
and un~interesting milling.
Goldfield was we'll represented at
the ringside.
H. r. Grier was the chief nou
Ger and King Pierce of Tonopah
was referee in both events.
Victor Ajax, a Goldfield wrestler
and manager of the Masked Marvel,
was introduced and challenged the
winner of the Berne-Masked Marvel
match for a $500 side bet.
1t was the general opinion that
the wrestling contest was the best
ever staged in either Tonopah or
Goldfield. There were no delays at
any time during the events, Grier
getting each off on time to the salts
faction of the big crowd.
The Masked Marvel showed re-
markable c%leverness and speed, but
his shoulders were brought to the
mat twice after game fights by his
heavier and more powerful Oppon-
emit. The first fall was won with a
flying mare and the second with a
toehold and hammerlock.
Even in the times when he was
in greatest peril or had his OPP
ponent in a tight place, the Marvel
always took time to pull his mask
down over his head from where 1t
had been pulled up from his neck
in the tussling and it wa evident
that, win or lose, ne was DOunQ at
all times to assure the concealing
of his identity by keeping the mask
in place.
The Marvel showed himself to be
a wonderful man, but fell before an
opponent his equal in many depart
ments and heavier and stronger.

Tax Boards to Meet

The Utah state board of equali-
cation, which corresponds to the
Nevada state tax commission, has
asked that a joint meeting of the
two bodies be held at some on
venient date in the neal future to
discuss tax questions of interest to
both states, according to a statement
by F. N. Fletcher, secretary of the
Nevada commission. The Utah board
wants to discuss particularly the
question of the assessment of prop
erty lying in the two state and own
ed by the same persons and also
the assessment of livestock which
range in both states.

MEN SUCCESSFUL
IN |. W.. W.. HUNT
ATTORNEY AND MINER lay
OUT TWO IN
FIGHT

On Christmas eve a well known
attorney and an equally well known
miner went l.. w. w. hunting, a
strange occupation for the occasion,
but they did.
After hunting for some time they
finally found one and the attor-
ney cornered the animal and pro-
! ceeded to tell him what he thought
about him. While he was doing this
another of the same species behind
his back, on hearing the attorney
say something about the army, said,
ITO hell with the army" and right
there the hunt ended and the fight
ing started.
Yesterday the attorney vas with
out his cane, broken IN the head of
the l. w. w. and the hands of the
miner were covered with iodine, ap-
piled on badly sprained knuckles,
gained by coming in contact with
the jaw of the l. w. W., as when
liz uIIo hCy IuihCu ~ oSO Ii
made the uncomplimentary remark
regarding the army, the /. w. w.
he had been talking to attempted to
hit him, which gave the miner an
opportunity to display some team
work.
No arrests were made, but it is
understood the punishment was
more than ample and it is known
that the mar who said, ITO hell
with the army" looked so badly
following the mixup that he was
asked if he was trying to imper-
senate the Masked Marvel" by a
man who did not know what had
happened to. him.
1t is said that both we're knocked
down and that the l.. w. w. was
knocked for 80 feet and rendered
unconscious by the miner when he
arose from the first blow and did
not answer when he was asked if he
had changed his opinion regarding
the army. 1t is also said that it
a necessary for both men to be
treated in a hospital.
After one of the agitators had
been floored and was unable to
arise, it is said that a third man
who was a witness to the fighting
put his foot on the mans head and
drove his face into the floor and
that in general the two men re-
ceived the worst beatings ever adj
m%inistered here for anti-war talk
and that their escape from death
was a narrow one.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 90
The death of Senator Francis Grit
fifth Newlands of Nevada, who sue
cumbed to a sudden heart attack at
his home here Monday night, cast
a gloom over the Christmas activi-
ties of official Washington.
Senator Newlands was stricken
while at work in his office at the
senate office building in the after
noon, but was able TO get to his
home and his illness was not gener-
ally known until the announcement
of his death.
The members of his family did
not realize the seriousness of his
condition and a physician was not
called for several hours. The at
tacks later became acute and he
died at 1915 o'clock. Mrs. New
lands and her brother were with
him when the end came.
The funeral will probably be held
here tomorrow and burial will be
in a local cemetery.
A meeting of the senate interstate
commerce committee, of which the
senator was chairman, which was
to have beer held today to plan the
forthcoming investigation of the
railroad situation, has been post
poned.
Gov. Boyle has been in Washing
ton several weeks but left Monday
night for the west. He is expected
to appoint a democrat to fill the
vacancy until a successor has been
selected.

Francis Griffith Newlands was one
of the few men left in American
public life who had lived in three
e to Yale and spent a year and a
half there, but the self-reliance that
had been taught him during the civil
strife made him impatient of the
academical course and he decided to
go to the heart of things, the ma
tional capital. He matriculated at
Columbia college law school at
Washington in 1869, but was admit
ted to the bar of the supreme court
great eras of the republic, says the
Reno Gazette.
Born near Natchez, Mississippi,
10 years before the Civil war broke
out, he spent the four most impress
sionable years of a lads life dur
ing that. conflict and it influenced
his whole after career.
At the age of 10 Newlands was
of the District Or columbia before
SlduudtlOI III dlHlOot IlIltuldlcly
started for California.
Possessed of a fine presence, re-
markedly handsome, always we'll
dressed and with a genial manner,
it was not long before he had made
his way into society and had obtain
ed a fine practice at the bar. For a
time he was associated with the ia
O Hall McAllister, then the I'M
disputed leader of the California bar.
Subsequently he became the law
partner of William Herrin, then one
of the noted corporation lawyers OF
the Golden state, and subsequently
n at present chief counsel of the
Southern Pacific company.
When Senator Sharon of Nevada be-
came a real resident of California,
with a magnificent country hon.e at
Belmont, Newlands became his law
advisor on many matters and ne was
liked and pushed forward, too, by
w. c. RalstOn, president of the
Bank of California and the most
powerful ~financier on the coast. IN
this way Newlands became interested
in Nevada matters and the Comstock.
He had much to do with the draw
ing of the contracts and the law part
of the financing of the Palace no
tel in 1875 and 1876. With the
failure of the Bank of California in
1876 and the death of Ralston, finan-
cial control of many of the banks
enterprises as we'll as the bank itsel:
passed to Senator Sharon and D. o.
Mills.
Senator Newlands was twice mar
ried. Two daughters by his firs:
wife survive him-Mrs. Edith New
lands Johnston of Santa Barbara, and
Mrs. Charles E. Johnston of Jamica
Island, Kittrey Point, Maine. The
third daughter, Frances, became the
wife of Lieut.. Won Bredow of the
German army, but died a number
of years ago leaving N daughter.
1t is interesting to know that Sena-
tor Newlands moved every possible
influence to get his granddaughter

case had been I'm my charge the letters
were pinned together and respectfully
referred to me.
Writing from her fathers dictation,

house almost every evening and some

The implication was that the relier
which Mr.. Butterfield supposed ne feit
was merely a delusion and that he
really was more disturbed in mind by
his recent acquisition than he had ever
been by narrow circumstances.
After considerable thought upon this
matter I decided to go to DENLY for a
ouiet. soothing talk with Mr.. Butter

of advice.

mind much above any abstract truth
and that she would far rather have
seen him live In error happily than
grow In knowledge by process Of dis
tressing doubt. So, even II Kerwin had
been altogether In the right. she would
have feared him little las. What, then,
would have been her sentiments toward
him coming as the apostle Of the drear-
lest falsehood which ever entered the
world?
I learned that Kerwin had been
regular member Of Mr.. Butterfield's
church for thirty years and that his
skepticism was one of those open Sc
crets which are to be found In every
New England town. The man was
valued for his honesty, which had be-
come superstition In that region.
His "creed" was generally regarded as
q mere superficial oddly, a harmless
affectation resulting from reading too
many big books. Yet the man had
poisoned more than one mind In that
town, though the victims themselves
were In most cases unaware of 1t.
However, let me speak of Kerwin as
well as can. 1 owe him much. 1t

A Minister'S
Victory
Skeptic Vanquished by a
Fervent Easter Sermon
By WILLIS EMERY

Years ago the Rev. Samuel Butter
Aeld became involved against his wish
In tangled litigation over an estate.
His just share may have been about
$4,000, but his chance of getting 1t was
extremely slender. Very wisely, he dis
missed the matter from his mind after
intrusting his case to the law firm OF
which my father was the head and
the latest addition, fresh from the
school.
We saw Mr.. Butterfield not oftener
than twice a year thereafter during the
tedious progress OF the suit. He would
come down to Boston and lunch with
my father and me, and occasionally he
would bring his daughter with him.
They were ideal companions. the un-
worldly and serene old man and the
bright eyed, eager girl, each inspired
with the tenderest devotion and illu-
mined by a wondrous understanding
of the others heart. They were both
children when they were In the city,
and they would go back to the little
town of DENLY, in the obscurest corner
OF the state, congratulating each other
upon the fine time that they had had.
At last the suit was settled very ad-
vantageously for our client, but, to our
great regret, he could not come to Bos-
ton to enjoy the little celebration which
we had planned. He wrote, by his
daughters hand, that the inclemency
~f ho mi, TO- ho1 drox has wi In
his strength and that he feared to
tempt the rigors Of March away from
his old, familiar shelter.
1t appeared that Mr.. Butterfield, who
had never before been more than a few
hundred dollars ahead Of the world,
regarded his new fortune timidly and
would value our advice in regard to its
investment. He had come to an age
where earthly treasure could no longer
lure the fancy, yet for his daughters
sake he would wish to be prudent
steward of his possessions.
My father laid down the letter and
looked at me thoughtfully.
II have a vague impression" said
he, "that Miss Butterfield will never
be dependent upon this money. Her
father has put 1t into the DENLY bank,
which happens to be very sound in
stitution. would advise him to leave
1t there for the present and not to
worry. Suppose you write a letter to
that effect"
did so and received two replies, the
first from Mr.. Butterfield. accepting
our advice. the second from his daugh-
ter, taking the other side of the ques-
ton. The effect was somewhat odd, as
the two letters were in the same hand
and came by the same mail. One was
