TN SPLENDID TRIAL

1t was thoroughly proven Sunday
that the FL Dorado Hotel would be
standing today had the fire equipment
recently purchased by the city been
here at the time the hotel was de-
stroyed. March A, last year.
As a test for the new chemical
apparatus the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment officers had arranged that the
oil sump at the Western Pacific round
house be fired about the regular time
for fire drill Sunday morning. The
boys waited until they could see the
black smoke booming skyward, ther
cranked up the truck and made a rur.
for the scene.
Although the oil sump is located in
a place hard of access the truck was
on the scene in short time. The sump
is equally as large as the basement OF
the destroyed hotel When the fire.
men arrived the oil had had plenty
Of time to blaze its best, it made a
very hot fire and the wind was blow
ing a gale. but in spite of all this the
fire was conquered in less than five
minutes after the truck left the hose
house. A little more than one of the
tanks of chemical was used. Each
tank contains forty gallons.
Spectators declared it a wonderful
demonstration. 1t is now planned to
make the test again within short
time and to invite people of this city
who are interested. to witness the
chemical in fire-killing action.

SNOW, SNOW, THE
BEAUTIFUL SNOW!

The one topic of conversation in
Winnemucca today is snow. After at
tempting for week past to provide
life-giving moisture in this vicinity,
the elements yesterday and today got
down to business and covered the hills
with the soon-to-be money. 1t has
rained, showed and hailed here. but
outsiders coming in say it was all
snow In the hills.
F. r. Sprague, cashier of the Quinn
River Bank, who arrived here yester-
day from McDermitt, and who is at
tending to business here today, says
the downpour of snow was general in
the northern vicinity yesterday and
that the hills are well covered.
The snow seems almost an answer
TO recent fervent prayers of Humboldt
county residents and thanks are ex-
pressed by all. as weather indications
seemed to forecast hard season for
this section, until this storm was pre-
cipitated. ssf

SAYS COODIN HAS
PROVED A COOD'UN

Editor The Silver State:
An article appeared in your issue
of February 5. signed "A Tax Payer"
in which the writer reproaches certain
citizens of Lovelock for appearing be-
fore the board of county commission
ers and frankly stating their views
concerning the amount to be expended
for county court house. Incidentally
the writer of the article apparently
reflects upon the motives of w. H.
Goodin of Lovelock, who for a num-
Der of years has been one of the most,
If not the most active and efficient
worker in behalf of good roads for
this county and State. / am a resi-
dent of Winnemucca, and am writing
this without the knowledge of Mr..
Goodin, to resent the reflections re-
ferred to. Mr.. Goodin has for several
years, at his own outlay in time and
money. travelled over this and neigh
boring states, gathering and dissent
mating information concerning roads
and road building = subjects of inn
measurable Importance to this State.
That his motives should be thus
wrongfully impugned. as in the article
referred to, is unfair to him personally
and discouraging to the pioneer in
such worthy cause.

HFINOUS MURDER
OF AGED CHINAMAN

With the front of the skull battered
in, the face bruised and gashed until
the features were almost unrecogniz-
able, and the hands blistered and
burned from a fire which had been
started to destroy evidences of the
crime. the body of Charley Fong, a
Chinaman something over 20 years
of age, was found in his room in one
Of the old. tumble-down shacks of
Chinatown in Carson City. Sunday
morning, after efforts to wake him
had failed and it was found necessary
to break into the hovel to rouse him
SO that he might go to his labors.
That he had been brutally, cruelty
murdered was apparent from the evil
dence at hand, but by whom and for
what reason may never be known.
The murderer or murderers left no
trace behind, so far as has been
discovered
Fong was little, inoffensive old
fellow, weighing less than 100 pounds,
a longtime resident of Carson, and
for the past few days had been en-
ployed at porter work at the Arling-
ton hotel.>
The last seen of him alive was Sat-
urday evening. somewhere about g.
o'clock, when he appeared at a Chi
nese store on the block below and
subscribed so cents for some affair
which the Chinese of the city were
getting up. From there it is pre-
sumed he went straight to his room.
but a blind Chinaman who lives in
an adjoining den stated that when
he came home, along about o'clock.
he heard no movement of any kind
in Fong's room. nor did he know
whether the latter was in or not.
Sunday morning at an early hour
some of the kitchen force employed
in the Arlington. who lived in the vi
cinity, knocked at the door of the
house to waken Fong, but got no re-
sponse. They then proceeded to the
hotel to go to work, but as the old
fellow failed to show up they phoned
down to some OF the otivr ciinanIru.

wrong.
A Chinaman was dispatched for the
purpose by the people who had been
notified, with the result above stated
The body of Fong was found lying
face up on the floor, at right angles
with the bunk in which he slept. On
the floor, close to his bed, were his
hat and shoes and stockings, but the
body was encased in underclothes,
overalls and sweater indicating per-
haps that he was just lying down
resting when his murderers entered
the room. There were some evidences
of struggle, which must have been
brief.
The Chinaman had probably been
knocked down, and the blows which
killed him were undoubtedly struck

morning. Conditions indicate the
