MIGHT FIRE AUSES EXCITEMENT N . DARKTOWN 1 ) E PA 1 1 TM K X T S SUMMONED BY BLAZE IX "DEVIL" DAVIS' SALOON HOLDING A match carelessly thrown to one side,- a lighted cigar or cigarette, or the torch of a fire brand are the theories advanced as the cause of the conflagration which summoned the fire departments last night at 12:45 o'clock. The fire was in the rear room of the building in which "Devil" Davis conducted a saloon at the time he was transported to the other side by a revolver shot fired by his wife. ' The entire rear portion of the building was gutted and but for the prompt work of the volunteers and paid department, a serious blaze would have resulted.

The damage will total about $300, with no insurance, so far as could be learned. LEASERS GET $200 GOLD KOCK NEAK AUSTIN AUSTIN, Oct. 8. The best news from south of the main Austin gulch for many a, day is that of gold run ning close to the $100 mark.

RECEIVES A VERDICT FOR THE SUll OF $182 . i At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon business was practically suspended in Tonopah. Even the clocks stop ped and those who were, astir, on the streets moved along, on tiptoe and spoke only in the most subdued whisper. Business men wore long faces and the appearance of this town to an observer within our midst, bespoke the approach of a terrible calamity. And well it might have been that Tonopah was expecting to see the end of the world, for in the justice court in the State Bank building there was being conducted a case whereby one lone individual was de fying the world. The title of the case as it ap peared on the docket was the Tono pah Sun, an incorporation, versus some 15 or 20 business men of this city. The trouble was over the booklet issued by the Tonopah Pro motion committe on which an ex orbitant charge had been made, so exorbitant, in fact, that the mem bers of the finance and entertain ment committees, who had charge of the public funds, refused to pay the obligation. These gentlemen had collected funds from the Tono pah business men and they were duty bound to see that it was ex pended in a just and profitable man ner. The original amount of the bill was for $218.50. It was brought out in evidence that when the dummy of the booklet was presented to the printers, the specifications called for it being bound with a handsome silken cord. The publicity committee who or dered the printing, stated that the booklet was first issued with a bind ing resembling, cheap knitting twine, and they immediately satd, to make a showing, give us something. Plaintiff swore under oath that he was unable to secure the re quired cord In town, but did not state he could have purchased It on the market if he had the price, and at the price of printing the publica tion had not decreased a cent by the substitution of wire staples, lie further stated that he Informed the commit tee that he was going to charge a commission on the ruts for the booklet, and that they had ns kick coming wheu he charged them $10 for the privilege of order lug liS.SJ worth of halftones of a TRAIN TO CAUSES !)

Legal doc uments found today among his num erous papers told his story of the metal facing. Furthermore he al ways charged a commission, even when the expressage was paid both ways by parties ordering the wont, when he was not out a cent, and probably couldn't have been. Expert testimony proved that the price of the work had been de creased by a sum aggregating some $60, by the substitution of wire for silken cord. The case was interesting and the court room was crowded through the day. At 5 o'clock a recess was taken until 7:30 when the argu ments by counsel started. Great splashes of oratory resound ed through the building; huge slabs of Blackstone were flung at the jury regardless of physical injury, and for two hours counsel for both sides argued over the question. Shortly before 9 o'clock the jury retired to deliberate and during their hour of incarceration the temperature of those concerned !n the case, arose to fever heat.

After the verdict was received and the jurors discharged, one of that body stated that they were cognizant that the plaintiff was wrong in his charge but if they made him pay the costs he would receive hardly a cent for the work of printing the booklet.

This he did, to no pur pose. She was then given four weeks in which to avow that she would never again appear in pub lic, or resign her position as profes sor of English literature In the Nat ional academy. She chose the latter and in four weeks was a passenger, enroute for New York, where, with She assistance of Sir Henry Irving. nd the German tragedian, Daniel Bandmann, she embarked upon th perilous sea of stage life. Her advancement was rapid but her independent spirit and decidod ideas often ran counter to lesser in telligences in positions of authority over her, and the results were bro ken contracts, lost engagements and disastrous seasons. After four years of this apprenticeship to rugged stage life, the unusual quality of her work so struck a manager of a house where she was playing that he offered to produce any play she would write and play the leading part in.
