f MANHATTAN, Oct. 14. Three hundred people crowded Into
Bronx hall tonight three hundred ardent, enthusiastic, cheer-
ing, shouting, boosting, men and women, with one thought, one
voice, one motive the exploiting of Manhattan.
The meeting was under the auspices of the Manhattan com-
mittee, and they stretched forth the hand of welcome to the
men from Tonopah, who came with offers of aid from the parent
camp adown the desert. ' ' '
Before the meeting, the streets were brilliant with light,' the
Manhattan band was playing, there was a jostling, moving,
swinging crowd of enthusiastic people, and there were cheers and
. shouts for the men from. Tonopah. Enthusiasm was in the air,
and the spirit of the boom was everywhere.
The meeting was presided over by President E. L. Raymond,
and Secretary C. A. Burkert acted in his official capacity. There
were speeches by the representatives of the Tonopah-Manhattan
Promotion Committee, of the Tonopah press, and of the people of
Tonopah generally forceful, earnest, sincere speeches which
spelled success. The men of Manhattan were not behind in oratory
and there were brilliant flashes-of. eloquence from all sides,'the
eloquence of truth and patriotism. The band played the inter-
. ludes, and the hall resounded with thfcheers of the audiencervThe
boom for Manhattan could not have started under happier aus-
pices. ,
' A committee was appointed to act in conjunction with that of
Tonopah and to agree upon a general plan of action. This was
the business of the meeting, and the boom of Manhattan was
launched on the wave of prosperity. : .
Manhattan for the money! , ''
President .Raymonds, called the
meeting to order after the band had
played several airs, which, kept the
feet moving, and the spirits rising.
His speech was one of greeting to the
representatives of the Tonopah press
and to those of'the Tonopah people.
He said that with such assistance
there could be no such word as fail.
"The people of Tonopah," said he,
'"have always r been the very best
friends that this camp has ever had,
and especially has the press of Tono
pah stood -at our back.
"When we began this movement
we were certain of their aid. They
have shown tonight by their presence
that we made no mistake in counting
upon them. They are as familiar
with Manhattan and what we have
here as we are ourselves, and they
have not waited for us to go to them
for help in this present movement to
boom Manhattan. Learning that we
had formed a committee of the peo
ple to exploit our camp, to send out
to the world the tidings of what we
have to offer to capital for specula
tion and for good, solid investment,
they immediately formed a committee

dressed stranger, driving a double team attached to a buggy,
stopped, and after telling her the cars were ndt running, offered
to drive her home. She accepted, suspecting nothing wrong un-
til the team suddenly turned into Snnnyside avenue through the
forest. She attempted to make an Outcry, but the driver placed
his hand over her mouth, staying, the horses, and dragged her
from the buggy.. ' ' '
. She struggled until she lost consciousness. Three, hours later
she-was found by C.; de Lantoin, who lives near the scene. She

(Great applause). 1
,"I call upon the man who has ever
been ready with his trenchant pen
in the interest of this great southern
country, the pioneer of the press in
Tonopah, the dean of southern Ne
vada newspaper men W. W.
Booth."
Rousing cheers and a crash of
brass from the baud greeted the vet
eran editor of the Daily Bonanza, as
he' arose to respond. He spoke en
thusiastically 'of the camp, of its
great tonnage of ore, and the mills
which were in progress to turn that
ore into money.
"I hadonly been in Manhattan a
short time this afternoon," he con
tinued, "when, it was made certain
to me' that the telegram that was re
ceived by the Bonanza on Saturday
afternoon with regard to seven hun
dred dollar ore being found on the
lease of the Union Extension was not
to be doubted. 'I was skeptical of its
truthfulness, and questioned it at the
meeting that we had in Tonopah on
Saturday night. But there were men
there who vouched for the authen
ticity of it, and assured me that there
was no . typographical or telegraphi
cal error.
"We want the truth about Man
hattan, for the truth is good enough
at all times. Send us the plain facts
the facts are all that we need, and
1 promise you the heartiest co-oer-ation'of
the Daily Bonanza, and
further than that,'""the co-operation
of every influential man in Tonopah.
Manhattan, with , its mines and its
mills, with its high grade ore and its
low grade ore, with its energetic,
hustling people it ii Manhattan for
the money, and nothing can stop it."'
L. C. Branson, chairman of the
temporary organization of the Tonopah-Manhattan
. Promotion Commit
tee, read a communication from that
committee, wherein it was promised
that the two towus would pull to
gether, and that Manhattan would be
Tonopah's fight, and that what was
good for one was good for the other.
Mr. Branson : outlined some of the
methods which had been advanced at
the meeting of Saturday night and
declared that by all means must there
be harmony between the two com
mittees, and that they must all pull
together. ;
Letson Balliet followed in similar
strain, saying that the field of oper
ations would furnish for both com
mittees the hardest work that any
individual of them had ever under
taken, covering as it would both ends
of the continent, from New York on
the east to Los Angeles on the west.
C. E. Mayne paid a number of com
pliments to Tonopah, to Its mines, its
people and its press. He said that
in his opinion, no mistake had been
made in launching the movement at
this time; that it had been "started
just at the right time, and that the
benefits to be derived from it were
incalculable to Manhattan.
Ed. Hirschler, . : president ol the
Granny, said that there never had
been a day missed on his mine, and
that, it was down to the; 300-level,
with the finest of showings all the
way. He said that the company was
positive that it had a mine, and that
there was enough money behind it to
demonstrate that fact.
Isidore V . Mayer, a capitalist of
New York, made a speech that caught
the crowd. He said that he had been
astounded" at -what he had found in
Manhattan and that while he thought
that New York was broke, still he
was going to New York as the cham
pion of Manhattan.
J. S. Daveler made a ripping talk
that pulled the people up out of their
seats, promising his hearty anden-
thUBiastic support for Manhattan.
"If ever I had any doubts as to
Manhattan," said he, "this visit has
removed them. If ever there was
an ideal camp, I have found It in
Manhattan. I have not been here
long enough to know a great deal
about the treasures wBich lie under
the ground, but what I have seen has
convinced me that there is plenty of
working material here. To make a
success of anything, whether it be a
camp or a corporation, printers' ink
is indispensable. Sometimes people
engaged in legitimate enterprises
overlook the benefits which they de
rive from that source, but the home
papers go on and on, working in your
behalf. You want the support of the
home papers, for tha news that goes
out in those papers is disseminated
all over the country. When the man
gets ready for investment, he looks
to see what the home papers have
to say about the proposition. Too
often that is forgotten by the suc
cessful Mine owner, but the facts are
indisputable. Your papers are work
ing for your interests always. But
you must remember that it costs
money, to run a newspaper, and do
not be afraid to consider those who
have benefitted you when you have
money to disburse. Whether you do
or not, I can vouch for the Bonanza,
that it will be with you at all times
and we are .with you, heart and
soul.", ' t - .
A committee of fifteen . was ; ap
pointed to act as a sort of a steering
committee in regard to furnishingthe
dope from Manhattan to the Tonopah
comi..ittee,. and to act in co-operation
with it. This-committee will get to
work immediately to secure statistics
of all the properties in Manhattan,
and of everything of interest to the
camp, and as soon as it is collected,
it will be furnished and the litera
ture will be. sent broadcast to all the

STILL AT 'LARGE
GOLDFIELD, Oct. 14. Tom Ilu
kovoic, the Slav who is supposed to
have shot and killed Michael Karich,
a fellow countryman, is still at large.
The sheriff and his men are hunting
high and low for him, and telegraph
ic descriptions have been sent out
broadcast over the country.
As yet no tangible reason is given
for the murder of Karich. ; The men
had a quarrel two months ago, and
Karich, who was beaten up pretty
badly, had his assailant arrested.
Bukovoic then threatened to get even
with him, but nobody dreamed that
he meant murder. ? ;
I have been astonished at pvb at I have found In Manhattan.
You have here mines and the making of mines. You have under
way three mills with which to reduce your low grade ore, and in
the meantime you have been doing some shipping of high grade.
You have a wonderful mineral zone, wider than that of Goldfield,
and you have wonderfu' ledges. Your people are energetic and
have shown their faith in the ground by putting their money into
it. You have ample Bhowing to . warrant the spending of millions
of dollars to demonstrate what the country has at depth. Isidore
H. Mayer, a New Yok capitalist, at the meeting' of the Manhat

ABE MJEP
By Associated Press.,
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14. An alleged plot to kidnap Abraham
Ruef some months ago, is a matter under investigation by the
local Grand Jury. According to a story told by one of the wit
nesses, E. T. Newsom,' who resided in Newman, this State, was
asked last June If he desired a position with the United Railroads
of this city. He was introduced to a man named James McDon
ald, who is said to have been in the employ of J. C. Brown, an al
leged detective of the United Railroads forces. It is said a pian
was set 'on foot to get Ruef away from the city in July last, and
five armed men were to go to a Fillmore street house, where the
former boss was confined, overpower the guards and take their
prisoner to the bay and there place him-on a launch. Ruef was
then to be conveyed to a point up the Sacramento River, and then
-overland to Chico. Near there is the cabin of W.R. Montgomery,
a miner. In this log cabin Ruef . was to be kept under guard.
The plot, however, did not develop, any further, but the graft
prosecution forces heard Of the scheme, and the present investi
gation is the result. Newsom appeared before the Grand Jury to-
day to tell the story and Montgomery was also summoned. He
waited in the ante-room, but' was not called before the; ihquisl-
