(Frsn The Silver State Filss)

John S. Case, the well known
Humboldt county journalist, came
over from Lovelock yesterday after
noon, accompanied by Mrs. Case
and daughter. This morning the
family left for Paradise Valley,
where they will make their future
home. THAT is one thing about this
particular section that we have
noted: There seems to never have
been a dearth Of Journalists" in
this neck Of the sagebrush.)
The machinery for the new steam
laundry, the building for which is
now being constructed, arrived over
the Western Pacific, Saturday. The
work of putting the machinery in
place will be commenced at once,
rs much of this can be done be-
fore the building is completed.
A car repairer named Jones, re-
ported to the officers this morning
that he had been held up and rob-
bed about one o'clock this morning.
According to the story told by
Jones he had arrived on the train
and started to come over to town.
On the bridge he was met by a
man who pointed a pistol at him
and told him to throw up his hands.
He was relieved Of $50 in money
and a silver watch. The holdup
then continued on the way to the
depot.
An item Of more than passing in
terest to Winnemucca people was
contained in Sundays San Francisco
Chronicle, announcing the engage
ment of Miss Elsie Remnant to
Henry Haber. The item says that
the wedding will occur in February.
Miss Elsie Is the daughter of Mr..

Kobe, Japan and it is understood
that the couple will make that place

Messrs. Chester Smith and Joseph

of the Nixon opera house last FRI
day, since which time Winnemucca
citizens have been treated to a
really first class picture show, COM
bined with vaudeville, at popular
prices. Both gentlemen have had
long years experience in this line
of business and will keep the night

standards. Prices charged have
been 15 cents for adults and 10
cents for children, which permits
of families attending several times
during the week.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

E. B. Fuller, who formerly drove
stage between Austin and Cortez,
was arrested at the former place
last Saturday night on q charge of
rape. Fuller recently secured a
wife who had a four-year-old daugh-
ter, through an advertisement in a
matrimonial paper, they coming
from some point in the east. The
warrant charging Fuller with the
horrible crime was sworn to by his
wife, the alleged assault having
been committed on her little girl.
A physical examination, it is said,
proved that the child had been
tempered with.
The grand jury made its final re-
port to Judge Cheney yesterday.
The charge of robbery against Nor
ris A. Hearn and John Kelly was
ignored and they were ordered dis
charged from custody.
Oscar Hilderbrandt arrived yes
terday from an extended trip to
the eastern part Of the state. He
reports general boom throughout
that section.
H. A.. Gilbert left this morning
for Paradise where be will spend
four or five days visiting relatives
and recreating.
The young people Of Paradise
are delighted over the prospect Of
a singing class here this winter.
One was organized last evening by
Mr.. B. F. Riley with over forty
members.
L. B. Smith, Familiarity known to

mitted suicide at Wadsworth last
evening by shooting himself.
Frank Mortimer, an old prospec-
tor and resident of Quinn River
Valley for over thirty years, was
found dead In his cabin on Willow
Creek on Sunday the 14th. How
long he had been dead is a matter
Of conjecture, but as he had been
around his usual haunts in good
health on Saturday, death must
have claimed him on Saturday night.
Judging from the calm expression
on his face and his easy posture in
bed the end certainly came during
sleep.
Charlie Toy, a White Pine China
man, was arrested for selling whis-
key to the Indians. The bottle Of
liquor was introduced in evidence
and the members Of the jury were
unable to satisfy themselves Of the
contents Of the bottle by the sense
Of smell. 30 they passed II around
each one taking . good pull at ths
bottle. The Chinaman's fate wa,

month or SO, his arrest following
the receipt of a circular from
Bakersfield, Calf. containing his
picture and description. The circu-
lar stated that Mcmillan was wanted
on a felony charging failue to pro-
vide, and stated that he went un-
der the name Of P. E. Turner, alias
Pete Turner, alias Buckley Nc
MILAN. Just the nature of the
offense charged is not known. The
officers at Bakersfield were notified
of the arrest and are expected here
today. The circular stated that
Mcmillan posed as as private detec-
tive, automobile salesman and
worker.-Virginia Chronicle.
More Post Holes
1t is reported in this city, but
not confirmed by members of the
corporation at this writing, that
bonds have been posted by the Du-
pont-Elko Oil Corporation with w.
Ambrose and Marshall Reid Of this
city to assure the drilling of at
least five hundred feet of hole each
on two sections owned by the latter
men in the Elko field. 1t is also re-
ported that Mr.. w. S. Dupont,
treasurer Of the company named,
has departed for the east to finance
the corporation and to secure a
standard drilling rig for their OPP
erations. The conditions attached
to the posting of the bond call for
the completion Of the stipulated
footage on two sections by June /,
it is stated. The Ambrose and Reid
sections are said to be well located
on the Elko structure. 1t is prob
able that DR.. George Hook, geolo-
gist for the Elko Oil Development
& Improvement company, will spot
the wells for the Dupont-Elko cor
poration upon his return from the
coast in the near future.-Elko In

Shooting the Hole
Drillers at the Syndicate well are
resorting to the use of explosives to
move to one side the bit and drill
rod which became lodged in the hole
at a depth of $500 feet. 1t has
been moved far enough now so that
the tools they are using will go past
but up to the present time efforts
to lower casing past this obstruction
have failed. A charge of forty per
cent giant was used last week as a
last resort but the size Of the hole
prevented them from using a charge
large enough to get results. A sup
ply Of eighty per cent giant has
been sent for and it is believed
that when a charge of this is ex-
ploded alongside the obstruction
there will be no further difficulty in
getting the casing down. The show
ings Of oil in this we'll have been
very good and the delays which
have occurred do not in any way
lessen the prospects for developing
a producer.-Fallon Standard.

Mnie Sale
Sale Of the Boundary Red Noun
tain Mining company to Joseph
Pheby, of San Francisco and New
York, was announced today by
George Wingfeld. The considera-
ton was not made public.
Mr.. Wingfeld bought the prop
erty about eight years ago at ap-
proximately 100000. During his
ownership he erected a mill, ran
several tunnels and made other i'm
provements which made of the prop
erty q real mine.
Between thirty and forty men are
employed at the property, which is
on the boundary between British
Columbia and the state Of Wash

sition.-Reno Gazette.
