WADsWORTH MAN
KILLED BY OFF |CER

Following a battle lasting several
hours with Dr.. J. Perry Tyson, a
maniac who had barricaded himself
in his room at the Bazzini rooming
house at Wadsworth, in which nu-
merous shots were exchanged, Ty-
son was instantly killed by bullet
from a As automatic in the hands
of Undersheriff ]. W. Carter, says
the Reno Journal. Scores of lives
had been endangered throughout the
morning when q crowd of Wads-
worth people surrounded the room
ing house, and held the maniac Al
bay until the arrival Of Carter and
Deputy Sam Kearns, who had been
dispatched from Reno to the scene
of the trouble. The bullet that
laid Tyson low reached its goal just
in the nick of time, as Tyson was
hiding partially behind a window
taking deliberate aim at Kearns.
The bullet was fred from a key
hole in the fence behind which
Carter and Kearns were standing
and before striking Tyson plowed
its way through a five-inch pine
board, striking him in the back OF
the head, causing instant death.

BUT THIS BARBER
QUIT HIS SHAVING

Frank Arthur, one of the popular
BARRIERS Of Tonopah, has retired
from his barber shop and now ranks
with the capitalists of San Fran
cisco with a bank account of $780,
900 inherited from his uncle, Frank
0. Arthur, a business man of the
Bay city who died three weeks ago.
Two months ago Arthur, who is
known at Spaghetti" left town
stating he was going to spend the
winter on the coast. Nothing was
thought Of this as it had been the
custom of Spaghetti" to leave for
months at a time and practice his
trade elsewhere for a change of
scene. The only man taken into
his confidence was his partner,
Harry Bergman, who was enjoined
not to reveal the story.
The truth leaked out from Tono-
pah people who visited San Fran
cisco and discovered from legal no.
tees that Arthur had really re-
ceived the money.

FALLON OIL NEWS
IS ENCOURAGING

Two shifts of drillers were put
to work this week at the Syndicate
company's well following a success
plug that has been holding back
progress during the past two weeks.
The plug was used during the
cementing-off process which is now
believed successful.
Every bucket of water and mud
brought to the surface this week
while the drillers are cleaning the
hole is carrying good showing OF
oil on the surface, and gas pressure
is continuing strong, according to
drillers and visitors. Oil showings
at the Syndicate have been evident
for several months but not to the
extent as at present, it is said.
Officers of the Syndicate believe
that, with water pressure removed
through bailing, there is a chance to
develop a commercial flow without
further drilling. Plans, however,
are indefinite and will remain so
until the well is cleared of water
esh1 hAo pIOCCoS
will require at least two weeks work
with the present two shifts. Deeper
drilling in any event, says ]. w.
Phelps, head driller, is probable.
The Syndicate is equipped to 60
down 1000 feet if necessary.
The Lahontan we'll will be ce-
mented off again, said A. P. Mitchell,
head driller, who was in Fallon
last Thursday. The 10-inch casing
cemented at the 1500-foot level has
been released from that point and
has been driven down now to 1850
feet. It is planned to drive it on
to 174O feet and make another
effort to cement off.
The Lahontan we'll is down over
21OO feet. Rock formation there
is identical and the showings are
the same that prevail in the Gilroy,
California, field, according to Mr..
Mitchell who appears to be very
much enthused over present find
ings.-Fallon Eagle.

TO ASSURE ICE WEIGHT

Machines installed at the stations
operated by cleveland, Ohio, ice
company will score each block of ice
so deeply that it cannot be cut or
broken at any other places than at
the slots.
The purpose Of the scoring, the
company announces, is to make sure
that each purchaser receives &C
curate weights. Guesswork is elimi-
mated. The 100 pound or larger
blocks will be so cut that they will
break up into 20 pound pieces. A
melting factor of 8 per cent will
be allowed, estimated to be two per
cent, above the melt on the warmest
days.

WHY NOT KEEP SMILING

Chiropractc has been rewarded with greater
and more rapid growth than any healing science in
previous history It's success has been built on the
following basic principles:
THAT the cause of disease is within the body.
H-That disease, susceptibility, weakness or nom
resistance has its basis in arrangement of
the nerve system.
IH-That arrangement of the nerve system is due
to subluxated vertebrae pressing on spinal
nerves.
IV-That these solicitations can be corrected by
proper Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments.
What Nature cures.
These principles are in harmony with Natural
Laws and should be carefully studied by every per-
son seeking recovery from disease or injury.
Getting well the Chiropractic way is joy be-
cause it is Natures way.

Y. M. z. A. NOTES

on Thursday morning the workmen
came from the Colorado Wrecking
Company and began work on the old
building, $500 Glenarm place. The
work, however, was not in the nature
of repairs, as sadly as the old struc-
ture was in need of it; that could not
have been planned, for two years ago
the word went out, mot another dol
lar for repairs" The work begun by
the men was the work of destruction
rather than construction. In other
words they began tearing the old
building down to make room for the
new. 1t was with difficulty that the
boys, unrepealed by their natural pro-
clivity had been restrained from be-
ginning this destruction work earlier
in the week. AS the old brick next
door has been already laid low the cor
ner will now soon be cleared off and
will doubtless be ready for use by the
time the contract is let. Probably by
the 18th.
We are now located in our Temporal
ry quarters, 2602 Welton street. Of
flee hours will be kept as usual, and
being handy for both the Twenty-fifth
and Twenty-eighth avenue cars, we
hope our friends will stop over often
and look in upon us. 1t is hoped also
that our subscribers who have not yet
paid up will vie with each other in do
ing so. 1t is very desirable that every
dollar possible be raised by the time
work has been begun on the new build
ing.

umbine Court of Calanthe have been

sils yet found in any formation. Large
blocks of hard shale were first blasted
loose, than carefully split with chisei

mains between the laminne- The shale
has preserved for some twenty million

Lure Of the Stage

Kansas woman to Lawrence Lehman,
manager of the Orpheum theater-

WHEN SUN BEGINS TO COOL
Humanity In Its Maturity VIII In All
Probability Be Able to Con-
serve Heat.

We can calculate the evolution Of the
temperature of the earth in the fu-
ture. The sun will grow smaller and
cooler. Thus in 100000 years, when
the radius of the sun has diminished
by only one-hundredth part, our tenn
perature will be not more than 26 de-
grees G. (7S.S degrees F.) at the equa-
tor. 1t will have fallen to degrees
G. (32 degrees F.) at the latitude 46
degrees, and at Paris 1t will be be-
low zero (centigrade).
Finally, in $4,000 years, when the
radius of the sun has lost only tivo
one-hundredths of its diameter and
merely 500 degrees G. of its tempera-
ture, the temperature of the equator
will have fallen to zero centgrade and
the entire earth will be frozen. Bio
logic evolution, which ascends into the
past for million years may descend
into the future for an equal period OF
time.
Moreover, the energy Of the sun.
whence proceeds our terrestrial en-
ergy, will be then diminished by only
one-tenth. Mankind will doubtless by
that time have long been capable OF
capturing this energy directly, OF
Transforming 1t as the chlorophyl or
plants so admirably does, of making
1t serve perhaps FOR several million
years longer to sustain his life and
the development of his thought.

undertakers made bids upon this work,
but we have recently received word

the colored work. We wish to an
nounce that we favored no special un-
