MURDER IN TONOPAH

    E. W. RILEY, proprieter of the Blue {illegible} on Main street in 
Tonopah, was fatally stabbed at his place of business at 11 o'clock 
Saturday night by Charles COMISFORD, who had become noisy and abusive in 
the saloon and was ordered out by the proprietor. RILEY was taken to 
the county hospital where he died one hour later. COMISFORD was caught 
by Night Officer GRANT a few minutes after the stabbing and placed in 
jail.
