"I am sleeping sleeping the
sanv. of death," wrote M. G. Gilson
S'.itu'ay evening preparatory to tak
ing his lift" ly holding a stick of
dynamite with a lighted fuse ut
taei.cd, to his head.
Gilson'a body was found yester
day morning about two miles north
of this city, along the. pipe line. He
had been employed on the line
silica the work started and was re
garded by the contractors as a good
steady man. Saturday he drew his
!!; and nroceeded to celebrate. It
is , i-sumed that when he had spent
all 'lis earnings he became despon
dent, and decided on the suicide
pi (iisition.
Sinday evening after dusk he
wandered out along the line, where
he :.iet W. 3. Landers, the watch
man. The two conversed for Sev
ern! minutes. Landers had to re
turn to town and asked Gilson to
nccnipany him, but the latter sail
tlr t ho had been drinking and p ro
le i- -d the solitude of the desert
uit'er than the bright lights of the
e'i;. That was the last seen of
l,i p until his body was found yes
t ; 'ay morning.
It is presumed that after he had
been left alone he wrote the note,
for the writing has the appearance
of having been done either in a
hurry or in the dark. It was scrib
bled on an old time check which
was replaced in the inside pocket of
Gilson's coat.
From appearances, Gilson secured
a stick of dynamite, with fuse and
caii, from the store used in blast
ing the ditch. Lighting the fuse,
he must, have assumed a reclining
position and, holding the powder
against his head with his left hand,
awaited the end. The explosion
naturally decapitated the body and
also destroyed the arm. The search
ers yesterday, could not even find a
ragmen of the missing portions,
and a hole about ten feet from the
body showed where the deceased
had lain when awaiting death.
The remains were brought to
town and taken to the morgue. A
search of the effects proved the
identity of the man and further
showed that he was a member n
good standing of the Point Rich
mond, California, aerie of Eagles.
In fact, when he first came to 'io
nopah, about a month ago, he vis
ited the local aerie, which was in
strumental in securing him the po
sition on the ditch. The deceased
also belonged to the Bisbee, Ari
zona. Miners' union, but had al
lowed his card to lapse owing to
the non-payment of dues. ,
Gilson was about 33 years of age
and his appearance and conversa
tion conveyed the 'impression th.it
he had received a good education.
That he was a wanderer, was shown
from his letters, stating that he
had traveled all over California dur
ing the last few months.
Nothing could be learned con
cerning relatives, although word
was sent to the secretary of the
Point Richmond Eagles. An an
swer is expected today and until
this is received, no funeral arrange
ments will be made. It is prob
able, however, that the remains will
be buried under the auspices of the
local aerie.
The coroner's inquest last eveiv
ing elicited no new information con
cerning the death and the verdict
was that the demise was caused by
suicide.
LAS VEGAS VICTORIOUS
OVER JOE SEITZ
Down-the-Desert Ball Team Wins by
a Score of Four to Three.
In what is considered the best
ba'l game ever witnessed in Tono
pa'i, the Las Vegas team defeated
Joe Sietz Sunday afternoon by a
score of 4. to 3. Seitz was in the
best of form and the way he played
brought the fans to their feet In
munerable times. He was somfc
what unfortunate in breaking a fin
ger on his pitching hand during the
. , ond inning, but this made no dif
ference in his playing ' and he con
tin led In the game until the fin
ish. Of the batters who faced,
h:r, some 18 succeeded in striking
cm, while the Las Vegas pitcher
wai credited with fanning but 10
men.
The attendance was better tha:i
expected and every seat in the
grand stand was taken In addition
to a large bunch of rooters who
gathered on the side lines.
The game put up by the visiting
team demonstrates their right to
the championship laurels, for they
were In the game every minute and
supported their pitcher every time
he got in a plncn,
One of the features of the game
was the umpiring by James J. Kel
ly, who was right on the spot when
ever a close decision was to be ren
. dered. Of course there were a few
kicks, but what is a ball game with
out an umpire to be roasted?
The score was 3 to 3 in the ninth,
when the Las Vegas team brought

Owing to numerous reasons, the
auditing committee appointed to go
over the reports of the variois
fourth of July committees, were
unable to render their report until
a few days ago, and the following
shows the expenditure of the sums
collected. It is also recommended
that the balance be turned over to
the liquidation of the baseball
ground debt, which will be done.
The report is as follows:
Tonopah, Xev., Oct. r, 1909.

WTe, your auditing committee, rec
ommend that the balance now in
the Tonopah Banking Corporation
to the credit of the Fourth of July
celebration fund be donated to the
Tonopah volunteer Olympic basebail
park to help liquidate the debts on
the same, as this is a public fund
and this park has been donated to
the town, we think it would be a
fair and reasonable way of dispos
ing of this balance.
We further heartily commend
the able and effcient manner in
which the afflairs of the celebration
were conducted by the chairman,
Mr. Ed Mallay. Too much praise
cannot be given him for his until
ing efforts.

TYPHOID PATIENT IS
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
W. B. O'Connell, who evidently
never at home unjess he is resting
under the fatherly eye of Sheriff
J. J. Owens at the county bastil3,
was the main squeeze in Justice
Brisell's court yesterday. As usual,
he was somewhat nervous from in
dulging in disturbance waters and
of course was there with the ex
planation that it would never hap
pen again. He was booked on a
charge of disturbing the peace, hav
ing been arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Slavin, Sunday night.
O'Connell vetured back to Tono
pah last week, evidently forgetting
that he had been vagged from the
city nearly a year ago. On Sunday
night he found that his former wife
had cast him aside and was living
happily with her new husband.
O'Connell started to pay a friendly
call to the lady and, contrary to
his expectations, was not welcomed
with open arms. Instead, he was
told to "beat it," and had the door
slammed in his face. Naturally, ne
became angry, and with a terrific
ngnt swing, drove his fist tnrougn
the window. The impromptu moon
light picnic was stopped about this
time by Slavin, who had been sum
moned.
Yesterday O'Connell was found
guilty of the charge above men
tioned and was sentenced to pay ,i
fine of $500, with the alternative of
serving one day in the county jail
for each two dollars of the fine.
According to that rating O'Connell
will be the county s guest for the
next 250 days.
