BURGLAR ROBs STORE AND
LEAVES NOTE FOR OWNER

The store of the Goldberg Saddlery
company was broken into IN night
last week, but for some reason or
other very little was taken by the
would-be burglar. The entrance to
the place was made through a rear
window, which was pried open.
The burglary was discovered when
Gus Goldberg, the manager, entered
the store the next morning and
found that his desk had been broken
into and papers scattered over the
floor of his office. Undoubtedly the
burglar was after money, for nothing
else of any great value was taken.
A piece of a bit was used in opening
the upper drawer of the desk.
Mr.. Goldberg's bank books, check
books, a number of loose checks and
other papers were found tied in a
bundle laying on top of the desk.
A lot Of copper cen pieces, a few odd
coins and a number of keys that

Mr.. Goldberg states that this was
the extent of the loot taken.
There were many valuable articles
in the store and the work shops, but
nothing was found missing, only the
coins and articles mentioned above.
The safe that stands near the desk
was not molested, neither were a
number of fine silyer-mounted bits
of spurs and coin silver conclas,
buckles and saddle m~ountings which
we're manufactured there and we're
in plain sight.
There are many peculiar circum-
stances concerned with the robbery.
The bundle OF papers left on the desk
was tied with a ravhide hcadetall
that was taken from n of the show
cases, Notwithstanding the fact that
there was plenty of string at hand.
On the inside of the package a piece
of paper was found on which was
written the following: II am very
sorry you did not have any cash
where / could get it, as l needed it
very bad, Gus. viii see you tomor-
row, Gus, but you will never know.

Mr. Goldberg stated that the coins
taken did not amount To so cents in
all.-Humboldt Star.

FIRST PERMIT GRANTED
BY PROHIBITION DIRECTOR

The first permit to be issued in
Nevada under constitutional prohi-
bition was authorized by Judge Stod-
dard. prohibition director of Nevada

Is understood. is applying for per.
mits in all prohibition jurisdiction
through which its transcontinental
system passes. The permit grants
the railroad the right to transport
pure grain alcohol and wine in the
state of Nevada, where there is no
restriction on the removal of these
commodities. 1t is limited y alco-
hol and wine when transported for
medicinal purposes. because the
mecanical purposes. because the
state law specifically forbids trans
portation of all other intoxicating
connections suitable for beverage
purposes. Thus far no physicians
have applied for a permit to pre-
scribe alcohol.

Gus Pappas, a Greek, who was en-
ployed in the Western Pacific shops
at Wendover, was scalded SO Sc
verely when at work in the lirebox
of a locomotive that he died within a
few hours a~fterward. J. L. Hodson,
who was working with him, vas also
killed by the steam. The accident
was caused by a stay bolt giving
away.
The men were enveloped in the es-
Gaping steam and their rescuers were
forced to draw their bodies out of
the narrow firebox with hooks. Hod-
son and Pappas were at once taken TO
Salt Lake City in a special train.
Hodson died in the ambulance On
the way to the hospital from the de-
pot and Pappas died a few hours
after he was placed in his bed at the
hospital.
Blinded and s%hrieking with pain
the two men could not find their way
out of the trap and soon succumbed.
Those who got them out of the boiler
were unable to get to them and we9e
obliged TO grope about in the depths
of the irebox with hooks before they

THE DEVILS TRAIL"

There's no place on earth that's
tougher than a tough dance hall dur
ing a gold rush. Then's when mans
primeval passions come to the sur
face, when he fights and fights like a

wants. Then's when the real worth
Of a man shows In his conduct

the tough men and there's no doubt
of the sort of a man anyone is.
