MAN GIVES BOGUS
 ORDERS; GETS BEATING
John Cauetto Administers a Thrashing to Fellow Who
 Cheated Him Twice.

An amount of gall which should have earned for the exhibitor better than he received, was that displayed by a fellow. who. after giving John Caretto, the proprietor of the Maze Restaurant. t1o bogus orders on To- cal mininc companies for meal tickets, again vaISe.i into the dining room yestcrs,ay morning, and was about to pass another order, when he was struck by a cyclone, or something re sembiins oce.
 About two months ago fellow walk ed into the Maze Restaurant, and after telling Carrett0 that he was working for the Cops>er Queen company, se- cured a meal ticket, giving in payment for the same an order on the company, which are negotiable at the store, when valid. Carretto was not at all suspicious, and held the order for sew eral days. but when he presented II, found out that no such man was em- ployed by the company.
 Little was thought of the matter un- til about a month ago, when the same fellow walked into the restaurant while Caretto was out, and gave an other order under another name. II was accepted, and also proved to be fictitious. but it was impossible 10 get line on the man, as he did not go back until yesterday morning. when he walked calmly into the restaurant and ordered breakfast.
 Caretto recognized the man as soon as he saw him, and asked if he in tended to make good on the orders He calmly told the restaurant man that he did not know what he was talking about, and started to eat, when the storm blew up.
 Although he probably had thirty hounds the best of it when 1t came to weight. Carretto more than overcame this by nerve and brawn. The swind' Ter went to the mat with one on the chin. and was going to take the count but the restaurant man stood him on his feet, and knocked him down again After receiving severe thrashing, the he believed like a calf, and left the house.

Home For the FriendIcss.

Isn't there a fine chance for adyen- furous spirits to capture some small but exceedingly tight island and pro vide on 1t a home for embezzlers who are having a hard time these days to get some country to adopt them that doesn't have extradition laws patrol ling the borders looking for suspicious characters with fat rolls bulging out their hip pockets?
 As these rotund crooks usually carry away large enough wads to enable them to pay big board bills the venture should be profitable one They could ait there in the balmy breeze, under a rented vine and fig tree. and embezzle against each other to their hearts content and not get heart failure every lime they saw sail looming up on the horizon. Those who have never footed a bank or played the races with . trust fund little know the crying need there is for such a haven of ref uge.

WORKERS
 STRIKE AT T0NOPAH
Employees of The Nevada Light and Power Company De-
 mand Increased Pay.

GOLDFIELDS. Nev., Dec. 27.-The electrical workers in the employ of the Nevada Power, Mining and Milling company are on strike at Tonopah and there is some fear lest the men in the employ of the company in this city be called out by the district council. General Manager C. M. Hobbs came over last evening for the purpose of having a conference with the men, and hopes to be able to avoid any complications in this city.
 The Tonopah employees are demand ing an increase in pay from tSe pres ent rate of s5 and SC for eight hours. The men declare they were called out by the Trades Council. This General Manager Hobbs denies.
 Besides the increased wage rate, the men demand that none but mem bers of Local Union 361. International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. be employed, and that time and a half shall be paid for overtime up to eight hours and over this double time.
 The electrical workers in the em- ploy of the company in this city are being paid $6 for the eight-hour day, having secured the advance after a conference with the management some time ago The advance was granted by the company without much demur at the request of the men, and out of consideration of the high cost of living in this citv It is denied in Tonopah because of the difference in this re- gard in favor of that city and also. says Mir. Hobbs. in a published cir cular letter, because of the unfair at titude assumed by the men and be- cause of the requirement. that none but members of the local union be em- pioyed He believes the strike will not seriously affect the operation of the companys plant.

THE MAIN QUESTION.

In the pleasant autumn weather, When the leaves begin to glow And the forest looks as brilliant As the lady in the show. Sweetiy we commune with nature. Feeding on her wealth our soul As we wonder how in thunder We can buy our winters coal. In a mass of gold and yellow Hang the leaves upon the trees Or to earthward softly flutter On the light, impulsive breeze As we view the living poem,
 Done in smooth. artistic rhyme, It's distressing to be guessing
 Can we buy our coal on time. In the fastness of the forest
 Is a mass of color blurred That one couldn't catch on canvas, Though the artist was bird Far from noisy haunts of commerce, From the grim and smoky town, But the haunting thought keeps
 Haunting
 Will the coal go up or down? Brown and yellow blend with crimson, And the trcetops are aflame, In a brilliant conflagration
 Putting fireworks to shame, But the waste seems almost sinful As the leaves begin to turn. For the falling year Is calling
 For substantial coal to burn.

Wireless Telesraphy Saves Lives.

People who still think wireless
telegraphy but a scientific toy win be
interested in reading the official re-
port of Commander Albert Gleaves,
U. S. N, printed in The Technical
World Magazine. Commander Gleaves,
who is in charge of the Naval Torpedo
Station at Newport, r. l., gives a list
of eleven distinct cases in which lives
and property were saved from possible
loss at sea through the agency of the
wireless telegraph station at Newport
alone. The most starlnng case was
that of Lightship No. IS, from which all
hands were saved, though the ship was
lost.
The above shows. writes Com
mander Gleaves, what a tremendous
factor wireless telegraphy is destined
to become in ameliorating and in
many cases, altogether averting dis
