THK TONOPAH WAY.
A story is being circulated around
Tonopah concerning one of the most
prominent physicians in this city,
| and which shows that there are
| divers methods of collecting bills.
| Several months ago a well known
I Tonopah lady engaged a cook, but
the pay days were postponed and in
stead of coin of the realm being paid
for the services, only promises re
sulted.
One morning the lady of the house
arose and on visiting the breakfast
table was astonished to find that no
preparations had been made for the
morning meal. She hastily went to
the hired girl’s bed room, where the
servant was found in bed, and who
complained of being ill. The doc
tor was summoned and, after making
an examination, asxed the girl if
she was really sick. There was no
response to the interrogation, ex
cept a mute look of appeal from the
patient. The mistress left the room
at this time, and the girl blurted
out:
"No, I am not sick, only the lady
owes me three months' wages and I
am going to stay in bed until I re
ceive my pay.”
"Well, for the love of heaven,” re
sponded the M. D., “move over. She
owes me |100.”—Tonopah Bonanza.

and Shop at
East Ely
Chas. O'Haran, car inspector, is
off duty on account of sickness.
Conductor Austin bad another
double header in with freight last
night, there being a little of every
thing in the train.
The popularity of East Ely has
surely reached many outside points,
judging from the number of apt -
(ants that have asked for work at
the shops during the past week.
A very light train arrived last
night three hours late, due to wait
ing on S. P. connections at Cobre.
The delay was due to a wreck east
of Ogden which tied up No. i.

The Ogden Standard is authority
for the following: All kinds of sen

about railroad headquarters at
Ogden and Salt Lake regarding radi
cal changes of important officials of
the Oregon Short Line and Southern
Pacile systems. It is said that Gen
eral Superintendent Davis of the
Shrrt Line will resign early this
month to accept an important and
responsible position with the Harri
man interests in Mexico, and that
Superintendent E. C. Manson of the
Salt Lake division of the Southern
Pacific will be made general superin

referee or second to some climbing
ringster. Naturally, he is the friend
of the sports, and still holds some of
his old-time popularity. He is a
' warm friend of .lack Gleason, the
! partner of Tex Rickard. From this
j fat distance it looks as if the new
i supervisor was spreading his super
| visoral robes over Jack Gleason or
| Jimmy Coffroth. In the bid for the
■ JefTries-Johnson tight, Gleason and
! Coffroth went to New York as part
i ners, and were cock-sure of getting
the tight, for San Francisco. Tex
; Rickard of Fly went mere in his own
behalf, and declined to have any
j thing to do with Coffroth, the pre
j raier tight promoter of the city by
i the Golden Gate.
CofTroth has oeen very successful
in getting permits from the super
visors of the past and with such a
champion as "Young Mitchell in the
chair, it may be that a Job is on for
CofTroth and Gleason to handle the
fight, leaving Tex out in the cold;
in the belief that San Francisco is
the only place where the fight can
be held.
But Tex declines to stay out in
the cold. He says he will stay out
of Frisco first. And now the first
real right for the great big fight may
be said to be on.
Tex Rickard leaves this morning
for Salt Lake to conclude arrange
ments for the holding of the fight
in the Mormon city. He is going
away with the assurance that every- j
thing has been arranged there to his!
satisfaction, and if this Is so, the
fight promoter says there is no doubt
that the fight will be held in Salt
Lake.
Mr. Rickard is very indignant
about the news that "Young Mitch

with regard to the passenger service.
I Plot'llK MAY tiHT MAIN LINK.
Operators iii District Believe That
They Ha»e laigicul Houle.
Though the progressive and
promising mining section in and
about Pioche, Is at present practical
ly cut off from the outside world on
account of the severe washout
through the treacherous Meadow
Valley along tne route of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail
road. local mining men interested iu
the district are of the opinion that
ultimately that section of country
will be benefited by the unfortunate
circumstance which has for the time
being tied up all traffic, says the
Salt I>ake Heraia-Republican.
It is contemplated that the rail
road company will make no further
attempt to carry its tracks along the
Meadow Valley route, where so much
trouble has occurred, hut that it will
follow a survey further west and
that In crossing the range it will ap
proach nearer to Pioche, within five
miles, perhaps, so that in reality that
camp will be on the main line. The
town of Caliente, in this event, will
probably exist no longer, but the rail
road company will establish a new
division point furtner north.
Besides opening up *he resources
of the Pioche country to greater ex
tent and making possible the more
protitable marketing of the ore of
that district, mining men of that sec
tion say that it would serve to attract
attention to other mineral bearing
sections of great possibilities in west
ern Lincoln and southeastern Nye
counties, so that It would stimulate
the mining industry to a consider-1
able extent.
It is stated also that from the
standpoint of the railroad company, j
the Pioche way is the logical route,
as an easy grade with but little ad
ditional distance, is afforded them,
and at the saane time all probability
of a repetition of the disastrous
washout of last week and three years
ago will be precluded.
BODY BM»\V TO HTR1KK PLAN.
Pennsylvania's IMft.OOw Kinployc*
Hefu.se to Join In Demands.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 13. Trainmen
on the Pennsylvania system have as
a body failed to vote to join other
railroad men east of the Mississippi
River In demands for better wages.
This is admitted here by C. A. Green
of the Pennsylvania Employes' griev
ance committee. Employes of the
New York Central line inside Penn
sylvania.. heve.. authorized., the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen to
| take it up. The New York central
I grievance was presented to the
Pittsburg & Lake Erie officers here
; today.
i The demands of the Brotherhood
1 of Railway Trainmen are being pre
sented to railroads east of the Mis
sissippi, nort.i of the ( hesapeake A
Ohio and in the eastern section of
Canada.
Some radical changes from the
railroad point of view are proposed,
the permit for the fight will be given
only to ii local man, and while he is
not saying much, he is going to Salt
Lake with the idea uppermost In his!
mind that the fight will take place!
there If the assurance he has is sus
tained that there will not be any In
terruption at the last minute.
“It looks now as if everything had ]
been arranged by the Salt Lake peo-'
pie,” said Tex last night, "and if that !
is the case there is nothing to it but
Salt Lake. If Salt Lake falls
through, the chairman of the police
committee of the San Francisco su
pervisors will have to make a change
of front before that city will be con
sidered. Jack Oleason is a partner
with me in the fight, but a permit In
his name will not do. It must be in
the names of both of us; otherwise
no fight in San Francisco.
"As far as Salt Lake is concerned,
1 received another telegram from
there today In addition to that which
was published in the News this morn
ing, and it looks as if everything had
been settled,"
tta instead of the present plan of pay
ment a minimum wage will be de
manded. The demands of the pas
senger trainmen show some fair in
crease A day wage is asked for
men running 155 miles or less a day.
for conductors. $4.25; for baggage
men $2.75 and for brakemen. $2.55
while to those running more than
155 miles a day. a mileage rate is
asked as follows: Conductors. 2,7.>
cents per mile; baggagemen, 1.75
cents; brakemen. 165 cents.
U is intimated that another
vote on the Pennsylvania system may
be asked as near unanimous consent
of the big Bystem with 185,000 em
playes is necessary to the success
of any venture.
INDIAN VILLAur. SWKI'T AW A\.
Sudden Torrent Brings Death
and Destruction.
FLAGSTAFF. Arlz.. Jan. 13.—A
report reached here today that the
entire Indian village of Supais, lo
cated in Cataract Canyon, has been
destroyed by a wall of water 20 feet
high, that swept down the canyon
Sunday. A number of Indians are
missing and are supposed to have
been carried down in the flood.
About 300 Indians escaped to high
ground. No building was left stand
ing Fruit trees and small patches
of cultivated land In the canyon were
washed away. It is supposed that
stockmen's dams and tanks above
were washed out by heavy rains, let
ting the flood down the canyon.
“I’ll work no more for that man
Dolan."
"An' why?”
"Shure, it is on account av a re
mark he made.”
"An' what was that? ’
