LOvELOCK FAILED TO SHOW
FOR GAME LAST SUNDAY

The game of baseball which was
scheduled to take place at Recrea-
ton Park last Sunday afternoon, be-
tween Winnemucca and Lovelock,
failed to materialize on account of
the aggregation from Pershing coun-
ty not making an appearance at the
last moment. The management of the
local nine had been assured late
Saturday night of the positive appear
ance of the visiting team and was un-
aware of anything to the contrary
until the train which should have
brought the neighboring outfit pulled
into the local station. However. a
game was played between two picked
town teams in order that local fans
might be appeased as far as possible
and after nine innings the score
stood to ) in favor of the scrubs"

JOINS RICE
IN BROKEN HILLS

RENO, June 15.--Thomas w. Law
son OF Boston. the author of "Fren-
zied Finance" and champion of the
principle that neither man nor min
ing district can become popular with
out publicity of the aggressive kind,
is the-fatest acquisition to the ranks
of mining men, banking men, public
men and promoters who have bought
property in the new Broken Hills
mining district, in Churchill county,
or are trying to negotiate deals on
properties there.
E. s. Chafey left Reno tonight for
the Broken Hills district to examine
properties under option to John E.
Allen & Co., the noted Boston broker
age concern, which has been acting
in unison with Mr.. Lawson for sew
eral years past in many of his big
mining promotion and publicity cam
paigns. Mr.. Chafey boasts of Ne
vada reputation as developer of 33
properties into shippers in the last
fifteen years, and is known to stand
very high with the big smelling COM
panies, for whom he has usually op-
Grated
The leading property under option
to Mr. Chafey's principals, at price
running high in six figures, is the
Thompson group adjoining on the
southwest the Broken Hills Silver
Corporation mine, the discovery"
property of the camp. the high grade
production of which is directly re-
sponsible for the present stampede
to the new camp. The Thompson
group. according to high mining au-
thority, is possessed of mineralized
aera fully 1900 feet wide. AT a point
about $500 feet south of the main
shaft of the Broken Hills mine there
has been opened up on the Thompson
property faulted segment of the
Broken Hills vein, which is believed
to be as rich as the Broken Hills it
self.
Mr.. Chafey will make an extended
stay in the new camp and in addition
to exporting the Broken Hills mine
and the Thompson property, he will
examine, in accordance with instruc-
tions from his Boston principals, an

ENGINEER SAVES
LIVES NEAR RENO

Dozens of passengers of the train
between Reno and Virginia City
were saved from almost certain death
yesterday by the presence Of mind of
the engineer, B. w. Davis, who dis
covered huge boulder on the track
near San Diego station, and by quick
ly applying the air brakes prevented
a wreck which had possibilities of
being one of the most serious in the
history of Nevada, says this morn
ing's Reno Journal The train could
not be brought to a complete stop
before striking the boulder, which
weighed several tons, and the engine
was as a consequence, derailed.
Had the train not been brought to
an almost complete stop the locomo-
tive and all the coaches, with their
cargo of human lives, would have
been dashed 400 feet into the canyon
below. The boulder, which had
rolled down the mountain side and
come to a stop between the rails, was
seen by the engineer when the train
rounded the turn. BY applying the
brakes and using every possible me-
chanical means to stop the train,
which was travelling at rapid speed,
the engineer is declared to have un-
doubtedly saved the lives of the ma
jority of the trains passengers.
The wreck occurred at o'clock
yesterday The only damage was to
the locomotive. Traffic on the road
was held up for more than four
hours.

STOLE CLOTHING AS
MEANS OF THANKING

The oft-repeated story of a down
and-outer turning on his benefactor
was again told in Winnemucca yes
terday when J. w. Corbin was ar
rested for theft of clothing belonging
to Matt Malaske of this city. 1t seems
that Corbin, who is about thirty years
old and has been working at Fallon,
met Malaske here Sunday, told him
a hard-luck story about not having a
place to sleep, and was finally taken
by Malaske to his room in the Winnie
mucca hotel to spend the night. Yes
terday Corbin arose after Malaske
had left the hotel. packed up Ma
laske's suitcase with Malaske's cloth
ing and took the outfit to a second
hand dealer. selling everything for a
couple of dollars"
But Corbin apparently figured that
Malaske would not return to the hotel
before last night to discover his loss,
and therefore was in no hurry to get
out of town. Malaske did return at
noon, however. and soon had the off,
GERS on the trail of the lost clothing.
Corbin happened to pass by the sec
ond hand store while the officers were
looking over the clothing, was recog-
nized and arrested. His preliminary
examination was held Immediately,
and ten minutes later he entered a
plea of guilty.
Judge Ritchie sentenced Corbin at
IL o'clock this morning to ninety days
