a Tonopah DaJily Bonanza WEATHER Fair tonight and Tuesday Today's Silver Quotation, S3 5-8 VOL. XL NO. 87 TONOPAH, NEVADA, MONDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 5, 1912. PRICE 10 CENTS. 1 INFERNAL MACHINE SENT WOMAN WHICH EXPLODES CAUSING DEATH Places Package Sent on Table and Tries to Open When Explosion Occurs Police Can Find Neither Clue Nor Motive. NEW YORK, Feb. 6. A package received by Helen Taylor In an uptown apartment Saturday night exploded and caused her death al most Instantly. The inyBtery with which the affair was clouded baffled the police. The woman, who was 32 years old, was called to the ves tibule of the apartment by a man who presented her with a good-sized package and then hurried away. She carried the package to her apartment, and as she paced it on a table It exploded with a loud report. Dr. Charles E. Perkins, who was passing tho house at the time, ran into aid Mrs. Taylor, but she died in a few minutes. The physicians said that in his opinion the parakage was an Infernal ma chine. It contained a number of dry cell batteries, one of which was driven through the woman's breast near the heart. After several hours of secret in vestigation, the detectives arrested Charles 'M. Dickinson, who said he was an employe of a motor com pany, and held him on a technical charge of, homicide. Ada Lamarre, a show girl, 25 years old, who lived In the house, but was out at the time tho fatality occurred, was held as a material wltneHS. Dickinson was said to have been In the room when the woman met her death. Mrs. Walker, a widow, who was also known as Helen Taylor, the police say, lived In a al )t-room apart ment on the first floor of a houso at 103 West 77th street. Coroner Foinbprg was summoned. He found the face terribly distort ed with the left eye driven back Into the head, a deep gash over the heart and scores of abrasions and cuts about the body. . Coroner Felnberg'a version of the GREAT DOINGS IN ELKDOM THIS WEEK explosion was that the woman was sitting in her parlor talking to Dickinson when the mysterious package was delivered. The pack age was neatly wrapped in paper. It bore the typewritten address: Helen Tayor." Minute Inspection of what was left of the infernal ma chine showed that it had been in geniously constructed. There ap peared to have been hut two of the dry bateries, one of which had been destroyed by the explosion, while the other was intact. What also appeared to have been an Iron cylinder which contained the ex plosive, was found imbedded in the celling directly above the body of the victim. According to Dickinson's story be did not see who brought the pack age and the first he knew of its contents waa when the woman tried to open the lid. The Janitor of the building, who was the first to rush Into the apartment, said that Dickinson exclaimed: "I don't know what she did to herself. She did something; I do not know what It was." Dr. Perkins, who arrived at this moment, found the woman still breathing, but unconscious. She died a few minutes later. The Janitor said he had seen a messenger boy leave the house a few minutes before the explo slon occurred. He thought the box might have been delivered by this messenger. To delve into the past of the dead woman was one of the first efforts of the police, but neighbors semed to know little of her history. She had rented the apartment only a few week ago, together with the Lamarre woman. GOUNTY OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE CATTLE STEALING YOUTHFUL CHECK RAISER HAS NOTHING TO SAY Sheriff Malley. Deputy Sheriff Myles and District Attorney San ders returned last night from Duck- water, wither they went last Tues day In response to a request from Justice of the Peace Irwin, that they were wanted in attendance at a cattle stealing case which was to come before the conrt of that town ship. The case at bar was that of a cattle owner named Fraier, who had leased his cattle, 300 In number, to other parties. These latter had later turned their lease over to a man named Allred, against the portestatlons of Frazer, and when Allred attempted to drive the cattle from the range he was ar rested. At the trial many witnesses were examined, and at its conclu slon Judge Irwin released the pris oner. U is prouaoie. nowever, mat a big civil action will result from the controversy, as Allred claims that he Is entitled to the cattle by virtue of the transfer of the lease. Sheriff Malley states that the Duekwater and vicinity are feeling the benefits of the recent potash discoveries In that section and that during the past few weeks a num ber of small mining deals have tak en place. While In Duekwater the sheriff and his assistant, Johnny Myles, levied assessment on 150,000 sheep that are grazing In that vi cinity.

Thorn, of the Consolidated Mines company, the production of that property for the month of January will approximate $683,000. Ot this amount $220,000 was applied to operating expenses, leaving $463,- 000 net, something less than $110, 000 of the amount needed for divi dend requirement.
