OUR CONGRESSMAN SICK.

Congressman C. D. Van Duzer was brought in from Tonopah last evening attended by a physician, and believed to be in rather a precarious condition. He submitted to an operation in Tonopah and was taken to Sodaville shortly after in a special vehicle. He was advised to remain in this city until he recovered but continued on to Washington, where he expects to arrive in time for the opening of Congress.

Death of Glabe Gunter.

Glabe Gunter, an old-time follower of the goddess of chance, expired suddenly while dealing faro at the International saloon Saturday night. Deceased had been ailing for several months with heart trouble and his physician had warned him against any excitement. It is supposed that the tense strain over the game was too much for him and he fell. Bystanders thought he had been overcome by apoplexy and applied every means at hand to restore him, but to no avail. When a physician arrived, he had expired.

Deceased was well known in sporting circles, having dealt faro in most of the mining camps of the West. He was about 65 years of age and had resided in this city for a number of years. Deceased leaves a son in California.
