HANDS OXK TO AX I.MHVIM-
t'.4i WHO RESISTS
ARREST.
A ti known man, KiviiiK us hi
occusai)n, stone cutter. In in the
dunKeOJteep, chained with disturb
ing the l'Sce and vulgar language.
He bad ev ,ntly been drun for a
POJ?.lf jm'uiya and yesterday he
Blood firvfront of the Barrel house,
using most beastly language and In
sultingpassing women.
Thef circumstance was called to the
attention of Chief of Police Malley,
who remonstrated with the man, but
to no purpose. He kept on with his
Tile abuse, and so the chief put him
under arrest. He seemed quite will
ing to go at first, and then he
changed his mind. He swerved
around and launched a smashing
blow at the chief, which, had it ever
landed, would have obliged the
Eagles to get a new pitcher for Sun
day's game. The man stood over six
feet high, and was built in propor
tion. The chief dodged the blow
with his accustomed agility and let
ting go the prisoner's arm gave him
a return jolt on the jaw that quieted
him.
Charley Keilhofer ran up at this
juncture and grabbed the big fellow
by the arm, and he went along docile
enough between the two.
It will be observed that Chief Mal
ley did not draw his gun on the big
fellow, as has been the habit of other
officers in other places. He carries
4 gun and no one knows better how
to use it than he. He knows how to
use his fists, too, and maybe that Is
not the kind of an Ideal peace offi
cer for a community to have.
Tonopah thinks that it is.

SIMPTIOIS ITALIAN' SPREAD IS
Kt ItMSHEO HY l)i:iM)Xllt
'HUM AX.
Chris Malatesta. one of the pio
neers of the camp, on Tuesday even
ing gave a bachelor dinner to a num
ber of his old friends. Mr. Mala
testa Is not a bachelor, nor were
there many who gathered around the
festive board in that class, but the
family of the host is down at the
coast, and in their absence he gave
this feast to his old friends in re
membrance of the good old days that
have been, and the good old days to
come.
It was an Italian dinner, cooked
to the taste of Garibaldi, and was
given in the banquet room of the
Hotel Roma. There were chicken
and raviolas galore, and there was
red, red wine. A generous host is
dear old Chris, and the gentlest of
gentlemen. The banquet hall, dec
orated after the Rennaissance, at
once transported the guests from the
demesne of the desert to the sunny
shores of Italy. A hidden orchestra
of reed and string instruments, help
ed out the suggestion, and the red,
red wine completed the dream.
Between dreams there were speeches
and the wit flowed with the wine,
and went on like the babbling brook,
not caring which pebble it hit. Chef
Ginottl was In his element, for in all
the days of Tonopah no such gather
ing had graced his board; no such
wit had rivalled his wine in its
sparkle; no such sentiments had been
sounded in the apartments of the
Roma.
Look who he had!
When many flagons of the ruby
red had gone on Its way rejoicing to
the domain of the inner man, and
there was still more knocking for ad
mission, and when the pronuncia
tion of raviolas was a lost art, mine
jolly host fairly shone in the coun
tenance as he arose to bid welcome
to the brave hearts who had already
made themselves welcome. He was
greeted with a volley of cheers, hand
clapping, clinking of glasses, piping
of reeds and scratching of violins to
the national air of "He's a Jolly
Good Fellow," the solo of which was
sung by Dave Holland, the prima
facie barytone.
"Poca robo, poco pensiero' began
Mr. Malatesta. '
"Hear, hear!" cried Double L.
Mushett.
"Good!" shouted Harry Epstine.
"Vive la Garibaldi!" yelled Dave
Holland.
Following is the gist of Mr. Mala
testa's remarks, which speech has
few equals in the Italian tongue, and
which flowed from his lips like the
liquid music of his countryman, Ros
sini: "Pecmf rodlu bagkq giwtao chlud
xzfl! ('!? aoihrd mfwyp -).'! grlu
Moinfg gkqj xzfifl (smfw bgkq) vbg
'flfffn' ,.:; shrdl aolnet vbgk cmf "
Great applause.
"Garfgfl zbniht xvese ffqyli ffijpun
odwkfl ilyqff thmbz esscvx! zbmht
nupjffl (xzfiflff) zbmht shrdmbz!"
"Good!" cried Harry Epstine.
"Vive Garry Owen!" yelled Cap
tain Jinks. (
"That's mine," declared Dave Hol
land. "Play ball!" cried Doubleyou,
Doubleyou Booth. "Let the gentle
man proceed."
Mr. Malatesta proceeded:
"Zcrafw flkwdr frmbhiup nflffffixz
arfgfl flkwdo ffqylfb -).' ,.:;
qpogbmrd xvese zbmhr fiwdgyp ffqk
ft'lcjyp flgbgk flflkqj vbgcmf, and f
yon don't like it, it is your own
damn fault."
"Good!" cried Harry Epsine.
"Fine!" yelled Billy Odgers.
"Brilliant!" shouted J. F. Manion.
"Best after dinner spooch, speech
1 ever heard," gasped E. L. Fletcher.
There was more wine to set the
blood dancing in the veins, and more
music for an accompaniment.
Dave Holland was called upon to
respond to the toast to "The Ladies.'
The well known club man, man of
affairs, acres and oodles of mining
stocks, was greeted with tremendous
applause.
"You've caught me in the double
0, with my money on the 23," he
began.
"Good," cried Harry Epstine.
"Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Cal Shaw.
The two Fletchers blushed.
"More, more!" cried Double L.
Mushett.
"The ladies," resumed the speaker,
"what would we be without them?"
"About ten thousand a year better
off!"
If they could have only found the
man who said that.
"I am not a ladies' man "
"Ha, ha, ha," laughed Cal Shaw.
Dave sat down amid deafening ap
plause, and there was more music
and more wine.
Harry Epstine was called upon to
respond to the toast: "Winning Their
Way." Mr. Epstine is a very forcible
speaker, and Is perfectly at home on
the platform. He used to be in th!
railroad business. He told the story
of his life, how long ho had known
the host, which was going some, and
then he perrorated like this:
"Chris and I have never lost on a
racehorse or a prizefight, and we
bet on them all as fast as they come
along "
At this inauspicious moment Sig
nor William Odgers, who had his
nose In the vino, spluttered and al
most choked, and bit his glass in
half J. F. Manion hit him on the
back to prevent his choking, and the
bit of glass was projected forward
and struck Mr. Mushett right In the
mush. Other disturbances occurred,
and the host elevated his eyebrows
In surprise. When ordr was re
stored, Mr. Epstine, who still held
the floor, remarked:
"Let's see, where did I leave off?"
"You haven't left off?" demanded
Signor Manion.
"Mr. Malatesta is one of the best
posted men in the world on sporting
events," continued the speaker. "He
gets the tips somewhere, but he gets
them. The last tip he gave me was
on Jimmy Britt, whom he told ma
was a dead cinch. If it wasn't a dead
clnch, it was something dead. I have
made a great deal of money by not
playing Mr. Malatesta's tips. Hia
dope is all right if you play it the
right way."
The applause that followed this
sally was more prolonged than any
that had gone before. Signor Mala
testa, unobserved, signalled to the
caterer, and holding up six fingers,
said with much simplicity:
"Vino."
W. W. Booth was called upon to
respond to "The Press."
There were cries of "What's the
matter with W. W. Booth, and an
swers: "He's all right." The hidden
orchestra played a gavotte from
Donizetti and Mr. Booth tried to two
step sidestep, but the guests would
not stand for his getaway. Mr.
Booth's modesty caused him to
stumble a bit, but Dave Holland Is
there with the wager that he has
Chauilcey Depew backed clear off the
boardi (,'
"When I nrs(rknie here," he be-
san- M .
"Thit wa's a (long time ago," In
jectedthe host.
"Yes, It was. I was publishing tho
Bonanza on Brougher avenue and
Jim Butler came down the street.
They say that he was looking for
water, but It wasn't water at all that,
he was looking for. ihcse who know
Jim, will always refute that libel "
Tremendous outburst of applause,
and confused talking between sips, In
which the word "libel" was heard.
"Jim stopped to get a Bonanza,
and he read all about Tonopah; then
he went right up and discovered It. '
(Cries of "Good," "Fine," "Way
up," "Bonanza," "Greatest circula
tion," "'Rah for Jim Butler,'
"Booth's all right.")
"After the discovery of Tonopah,
Chris Malatesta was discovered.
(Loud and tumultous applause and
rattling of glasses). Chris has al
ways been a good fellow. Is a gool
fellow, and he knows how to get up
a good dinner." (Greater applause
than ever; Chris' health Is diunk
standing, and song: "He's a Jolly
Good Fellow," led by Dave Holland).
"I've known Cbris for a number of
years. I'm an older man than he la
(great shout I no, I'm dam
hanged if I am" and Mr. Booth sat
down in the midst of an ovation.
There was more wine, more song,
more speech, and a few funny stories.
Then "Auld Lang Syne" was sung
standing, and the feast of the ravi
olas was a sweet and lasting mem
ory. The following Italians : were the
guests of Mr. Malatesta: Signors L.
L. Mushett, William Odgers, E. L.
Fletcher, Dave Holland, H. Fletcher,
J. F. Manion, H. Epstine, Cal Shaw,
Captain Jinks and W. W. Booth.

DISCORDANT NOTE
IN EAGLE'S NEST
ALL BECAUSE EVERY EAGLET IS
NOT GIVEN A POSITION IX
THE LINEUP.
There is discord in the ranks of
the Eagles. There are seven hun
dred of the delectable birds feather
ing their nests in the aerie, and they
all want positions in the lineup. The
greatest number of them have been
assigned positions as substitutes, but
the committee on claims has issued
the fiat that substitutes shall not be
deadheads.
A protest has been handed in
against Billy Douglass on account of
his age. The fledglings do not say
that he will play better ball than any
of them, but they claim that on ac
count of his great age. he is too wise
and will job them. The Elks declare
that they will have Billy in the nine,
if they have to carry his dead body
onto the field.
"We've got them buffaloed," said
Tommy Kendall, who Is out rehears
ing every day. He ran four miles
yesterday and never stopped to take
a drink. Tommy used to belong to
the Pink Stockings of Bodie, and
everybody got out of the way when
they heard the Pink Stockings com
ing. Zeb Kendall, who will hold down
first bag for the Elks, has a thousand
dollars up that he will allow no high
ball to pass him. The runner that
gets by him must be going some, too.
"There's nothing to the game,"
said Zeb, "there's nothing to It and
there never was."
An Eagle jumped into the arena
and yelled: '
"I've got a hundred dollars to bet
the Elks don't make a run."
There was an Eagle that made a
run right there, and when he got
away Harry Epstine's office was full
of feathers.
Puddy Grimes arrived in the city
yesterday in answer to a wire, bid
ding him come to Tonopah and um
pire the great game. Puddy Is am
phibious (that will hold you for
a while, Puddy), he's both Eagle and
Elk. It doesn't make any difference
to him whether he Is on the earth or
in the air as long as he doesn't have
to drink water. He probably won't
know where he is after the game,
and it probably won't make any dif
ference to him either.
Not very encouraging for Puddy,
but that's the way the bets are go
ing. Ed. Malley, chief of police and star
twirler for the Eagles, was out prac
ticing yesterday with his catcher,
Letson Balliet. He massages the ball
in such a manner that he can make
It do anything the ball wants to do.
His delivery is perfectly wonderful,
so his backstop says, while- the Elks
listen and smile.
Ed. Malley used to belong to the
Sixth street Irish in Leadville, where
they made baseball players, and Bal
liet used to play with Anson's colts
In 1872. Balliet is no longer a colt,
but it is said that he can still kick
some.
They are talking about the coming
game over in Goldfield and there is a
great number coming over to witness
the final bouts. The literature of
both the Elks and the Eagles is at
tracting widespread attention, and
there is more to come from both
sides.

MINER SAYS HE
WASJIELD UP
NIGHT CARMAN AT TONOPAH
EXTENSION WAS THE
VICTIM.
A peculiar holdup occurred on
Tuesday night at the end of the Ton
opah Extension dump. Frank Bru
ette, night carman at the mine, end
ed one of his journeys to the outer
end of the dump, when he was con
fronted by a masked man and a re
volver. It was pay day, but Bruette
had banked his money, so the yegg
man got nothing but a piece of to
bacco rolled up in the carman's
money bag. The only clew that the
police have to the robber is that he
doesn't chew tobacco, for the tobacco
and the money bag were found yes
terday morning near the dump. That
must have been a disgusted yegg
man. WARNING.
To all brother miners and citizens
of Goldfield Look out for the Ham
burg Gold Mining Company, located
at Silver Peak, headed by Patrick
Bros. They beat a poor old miner
out of $66 of his hard earned money.
Look out for them, they are no good.
