DISTRICT WANTS ITS MONEY
School Board Making Another Effort to
Secure Funds to Run the School

An effort is being made by the
board of school trustees of the Gold
field district to secure the funds from
the county officials which now stand
to its credit on the books of the
county, for the purpose of continuing
the schools for the full term. Word
was received this week from the
county seat to the effect that the Janu-
airy apportionment of state money had
been made by the county superintend-
ent and that something like $4,000 was
now to the credit of the Goldfeld
school district. Bills for teachers
salaries and other expenses were sent
to the proper authorities at Hawthorne
this week, but as yet no word has
been heard from the county seat.
In the meantime the five teachers
engaged in the Goldield schools are
giving their services to the district in
the hope that they will have no further
trouble in securing their salaries from
the county. They are now one month
in arrears and the State Bank & Trust
company has advanced about $1,000 in
teachers salaries and other bills,
which thus far have been unpaid by
the county treasurer. Neither the
school board nor anyone connected with
the schools has been able to secure
any satisfaction whatever from the
county officials.

DAVID GRIFFITH NEARLY
KILLED IN ACCIDENT

Dave Griffith, a we'll known Gold
field man narrowly escaped death in a
runaway accident between Manhattan
and Tonopah Monday. Mr.. Griffith
was driving to T%onopah when he met a
man with a wagon from which the
horses had broken away. His offer 20
haul the wagon to town was promptly
accepted by the luckless traveller. De-
scending the hill the horses made a
sudden jump breaking the king bolt,
and with the trees dangling at their
heels the frightened animals plunged
down the hill. Mr.. Griffith held on to
the reins. long enough to be pulled
from his seat and thrown to the
ground. The wheels of the first rig
passed over his shoulders and chest
while the second passed over his head.
The latter was a heavy wagon and
that he was not killed outright Mr..
Griffith considers simply a caprice of
fortune. He was picked up by a pass
ing automobile and taken to Tonopah
where after recovering from his
bruises and the severe shaking up
which he met with he returned to
Goldfeld.
Manhattan is all right said Mr..
Griffith, speaking of his visit to the
newest Southern Nevada camp, "but
Goldfeld looks pretty good to me.
There is a big rush to the camp, but
the great percentage of people who
are going wei do not know what they
are going in for; they have no idea
what they are going to do when they
get in. The town is booming. Bust
ness is being augmented by new ar
rivals each day and the showing on
the best properties is assuredly very
good. Just at present there is quite a
heavy fall of snow on the ground,
which of necessity, interferes some
what with activities"

MADE A QUICK STOP
Fire Department Checks at Its Incep'
ton What Might Have Been Dis
astrous Blaze

Sparks from the chimney of the
Dairy Kitchen, "a tent house restaurant
ON Crook avenue, set the structure ON
Ere at an early hour Tuesday morning
and for a time threatened to be a dis
astrous fire. Prompt work of the
Goldfeld fire department checked the
flames and prevented them from
spreading to the adjoining frame strue
lures.
A passerby saw the fire and imme-
diately gave the alarm, and the depart
ment promptly responded. The tent
roof of the restaurant caught fire and
the flames spread to the frame work
of the structure. The fremen broke In
the front door and within three min
utes after they turned the chemical on
the fire was out, but the structure was
in ruins. The alarm wakened almost
e~vervone from their slumbers and quite
a crowd gathered after the fire was
out.
The fire department worked fast and
nipped at it's inception a fire which
within a few minutes would have been
beyond control. The department
proved it's efficiency, and also demon
strated the worth of the chemical en-
gine. as the fire was one of the first
they have handled where it was of such
a character that the chemical could be
used to the best possible advantage.

people to Manhattan was at its height
and scores of persons witnessed his
drop into the river.

ing position and suffered terrible
shock. He remained under the water
for a long time and when he came to
the surface was taken aboard the

most of his body turned blue and began
to swell. He was unable to open his
eyes and was barely able to tell his
name BEFORE he again became uncOn-

wht re the physicians said that he
might recover. IsaacS was dressed in
the clothing Of laboror. His reason

BY CANCELLATION.
|DOWie and zionites Anx-
lou. For a Settlement.
Will Avoid Legal Strife L
Agreement Can Be Made.
Dowie Probably Sees That His Position
Is None Too Strong.

Chicago, April 11-At the conclusion
of day of conferences between rep
It tsentatives of the opposing interests
of the Christian Catholic Church OF
Zion, the statement was made late to-
night that the whole controversy
would probably be settled by concilia-
ton. Both sides. according to At
tGrney Emil c. Wetten. Dowie's legal
representative are anxious for an
amicabla adjustment.
This announcement was made by
Mr.. Wetten tonight after a conference
with Dowie, following WettenS return
from Zion City. where he held Il con-
ference with General OverSeer VOliva
and other leaders of the revolt against
DoWie.
Earlier in the evening a statement
was given out from DOwie'S apart
ments that the whole matter would be
taken into the courts tomorrow for a
settlement, but after the consultation
with Attorney Wetten on his return
from Zion there seemed to be sudden
change in the war-like attitude which
has all along been assumed by Dowie
and his advisers.
Attorney w clltIl VIII Siiti IIt SpohC
officially for Dowie in his announce
ment said:
THE report that Dowie would seek
redress in the courts, is entirely
wrong" said Mr. Wetten. That will
be our last resort. and l am of the
opinion tonight that there will he nc
need to ask the courts for assistance.
Dcwie's principal desire in this mat
ter is to see that every person who
has ever invested a dollar in Zion City
or any of the business enterprises of
his receives payment in full on invest
ments. At the conference L had in
Zion City today with those now in
control at that place. considerable pro-
gresS was made in reaching an under
standing We went over the whole
situation as to the rights and &c ~
what was due Dowie. At the meeting
lcrs l informed them of the attitude
advised conciliation.
"Dowie and his lieutenants seemed
favorably impressed with what I had
to say, and it was decided that
should continue my efforts for peace.
Nothing was mentioned as to who
should be the ecclesiastical head of the
church as We did not have time to
touch on that point.
Our plans are still only in the
primary stage, but a plan is being con-
sidered whereby an effort will be made
to have the whole affair left to a
board of arbitration to be chosen from
representatives of both sides. 1t will
take some time to get matters into
such condition that the men of the
board can be agreed upon, but the in
dications tonight are that in the end
this will be the means used to get the
| warning factions together once more"

Hard Coal Miners Will
3; Accept the Suggestion
To Let Strike Commission Try
10 Settle Differences.
certaIp Notifications Must, However, Be
Agreed Upon Ia Advance.

New York. April 11-After having the
countor-arbitration plan of the anthra-
cite operators under consideration near
" all day. the general scale commit
zoe of the hard coal miners completed
the draft of their reply and Will pre-
cent IL to the committee of mine owners
at the ioint session tomorrow. The
strictest secrecy surrounded the work
of the committeeman. 1t is believed
the miners have decided to accept the
operators' offer that the anthracite
strike commission take up the dispute
but will ask that the tribunal be per
mitted to consider the original de-
mands with certain important modifi-
cations. The concessions said to nave
been decided upon are that. instead of
an agreement being entered into be
tween the operators and the United
Mine Workers OF America. it be made
with the anthracite mine workers; that
The check-off be limited to the wage
g&orkers who agree to an assessment to-
defray the expenses incurred in carry
ing out the miners part of the agree
ment instead of all mine workers union
and n-union-being compelled to con-
tribute and that the duration of the
agreement be left to the commission.
The miners in their arbitration plan
asked for two year agreement and
the operators In the counter PROPOSE
tion wanted one for three years. If
this proposition is submitted by the
miners and accepted it will leave the
commission free to take up the de-
mands for an Increase in wages, an
eight hour day, uniform pay for all
classes of employment paid by the day
or month, reconstruction of the con-
: ciliation board, and a number of minor
T grievances. The operators want to
limit the inquiry to wages and meth
cd for the adjustment of complaints.
The general scale committee of the
miners held two sessions today at
which most of the members discussed
the operators plan. They were by no
means d unit In their views and the
more radical committeeme favored a
scemplete rejection of the operators
proposal outside of that portion whiCn
provides that the strike commission
ers be the arbitrators. They feared
the inspectors might take advantage
Of the clause In the latters proposition
which gives them the privilege of ask
ng the arbltrators to reduce the wages
Of the men. All the committeeman
viewed favorably the offer that the
ntrike commission arbitrate the differ
eEces instead of the concillation board
After the adjournment Of the after
noon SESSION of the general committee
the subcommittee, composed of the
three anthracite district presidents
and secretaries and President Mitchell
held a brief session. Two hours later
the sub committee met again for a few
minutes. There was no meeting of the
general committee tonight.
The anthracite operators had moth
ing to say today regarding the sit
uation beyond the statement that the
whole matter is temporarily in the
hands of the miners.

THEY USED DYNAMITE,
Ciash Between Hartman and Hill
Forces Near La Camas, Ore.

Portland, Ore. April 1.-THE Ore
CONAN says that on Monday the Hill
and Hartman forces met in a serious
clash near La Camas According to
the version Of the Columbia Valley
railroad men they stole march or
thelr opponents. the Portland & Seat
Tie Railroad forces. and occupied a
deep cut near La Camas. where they
began digging TO lower the Portland
d Seattle grade.
Inc article goes on to say that in
order to frighten away the Hartman
forces the Portland & Seattle graders
cropped dynamite into the cut The
INST few sticks it states, were not
hghted. Then several came down with
nshted fuses which were promptly
pulled out by Chief Engineer Wise.
Seeing that their ruse did not frighten
away the Hartman graders the Hill
forces are alleged to have dropped
down some sticks with such short
fuses that 1t was foolhardy to try to
pull them out and both crews of rail-
readers ran away leaving the dyna-
mite TO explode harmlessly The
Portland & Seattle officials deny any
knowledge Of dynamite throwing BY
