fOXOPAH DAILY BONANZA, TOXOPAH, NEVADA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1900. WILL HELP HUSBAND IN HIS HOUR OF NEED DESERTED WIFE OF FRED SKIN NER WILL AID IN DEFENSE FALLS AGAINST RAPIDLY REVOLVING CIRCULAR SAW . L. brown meets with acci dent AT THE MONTANA MINE In order to be near her husband In his hour of need, Mrs. Anna Skiniif r, wife of Fred Skinner, who is awaiting his second trial on the charge of murdering Mona Boll, ar rived yesterday from Tacoma. The devotion of this woman to the hus band who had deserted her to take up with the woman he murdered, is of the kind that defies description. During the first trial Mrs. Skin ner came to this city and by work ing as a domestic, sought to raise funds for the defense of the man whose name she bore and by whom she had been discarded. Every day she attended the trial and when Skinner was sentenced to life im prisonment, the wife accompanied him as far as Reno. From there she moved to Taconia, where she has since resided. Mrs. Skinner visited her husband yesterday at the county jail and the meeting of the two was not without its pathos. The two were allowed to convoke for gome little time through the iron bars that separated them. A jailer attended the wom an for it is the rule of the sheriff's office that no visitors be allowed within the jail without an officer In attendance. when Mrs. Skiner was ready to take her departure, she asked Sher iff Owens regarding the rules for visiting prisoners. "Visitors are allowed on Wednes days and Sundays," responded the sheriff. "When would you like to see him again?" "Every day, if I possibly could," answered the little woman wtih half a sob. "You may come up again tomor row," said Owens, whose heart had been touched by the emotion unin tentionally displayed by . the little woman, who on receiving this per mit showed her appreciation by al lowing a smile to cross her features. At this Mrs. Skinner, who still remembered her marriage vows took her departure, while in his cell the husband who had prom tsea to love, cherish and protect her, and who had broken every promise, sat for a minute on the edge of his bed, and then resumed his interrupted work on a bridle tnat he is manufacturing out of rawhide and horsehair. Yesterday morning a few minutes before 10 o'clock, A. I-.. Brown, who for several years has been employed as carpenter at the Montana mine, nut with an accident that nearly cost him-his life. Brown was en gaged in operating a circular saw when in some manner he slipped and fell against the rapidly revolv ing disc. The sharp teeth of the saw inflicted a wound about 14 Inches in length, extending from the hip nearly to the knee. There happened to be several oth er workmen in the carpenter shop at the time of the accident, who im mediately notified the company of ficials. In turn Drs. Hammond and Clark were summoned and ordered the injured man removed to the Miners' Union hospital, where the wound was dressed. An examina tion showed that the muscles, ten dons, arteries and nerves had been severed and that the hip joint was also Injured. Brown was too weak to give a detailed statement as to how the accident occurred, but it is pre sumed that a misstep was the cause. At a late hour this morning advices from the hospital stated that he was resting easy, with the chances favorable to his recovery Brown Is a married man and re sides in one of the company houses on the Montana hill.

The statement shows the bank to be in Its usual fine condition. The bank's deposits aggregate approximately $300,000, while it has cash on hand and in banks of $170,000, showing a cash reserve of upwards of 57 per cent. The national laws require a reserve of 15 per cent only. The bank has no overdrafts, no items are carried as cash other than act ual coin, and the bank has no real estate loans. This published statement follows four other statements previously published by the bank during the current year, all of which have rf vealed a healthy and flourishing growth of this strong local institu tion. The management of the Nevada First National is in the hands of trained bankers, who are to be con gratulated upon their well deserved success. While the bank is liberal and progressive in its dealings, the Institution is conducted along sound and prudent banking lines. After being in the courts of the state of Nevada for nearly 32 years the Duck water water cases will soon end. Yesterday in the district court in this city the case of Louisa Ir win versus J. C. Tognini et al was called, and the day spent in the ex amination of witnesses. The local court, in the past few months, has been the scene of several hearings relative to restraining orders, orders to show cause and contempt pro ceedings, but this is the first time that the case proper has been heard. A large number of witnesses are In attendance from Duckw&ter and other parts of the state. State En gineer Nicholas will testify, having been called from Carson, as will his asistant, Carl Stoddard.
