TEX" HALL HAILED
CHAMPION POT SHOT
GUN CLUB MEMBER PERFORMS
TERRIBLE EXECUTION ON
FLOCK OF DECOYS.

There is good story going the
rounds of the Ely Gun club with
TEX" Hall as the bad actor. One Of
the members thought it too good to
keep and told the following version;
The first day we had any duck
shooting we pitched camp near the
lake where the buds were to be
found,' said this gentleman, "and
one of the members of the party
thought it would be a good idea to
take the birds he had shot and place
them in the lake as decoys. This he
did, very carefully propping them up
with sticks and arranging them in a
group so that they would attract
other birds. OF course. he said
nothing to the other members of the
party about the matter as he wished
to make that his own particlar hunt
ing ground and pick off the birds
that would be attracted by the bo-
gus flock at his leisure. All would
have gone well the next morning had
it not been for the fact that Tex
Hall had bad dream, from an over
Indulgence in the juicy bird on the
previous night. and not being able
to sleep arose and made his toilet
before the other hunters were out
of their slumbers. With his gun on
his shoulder he set out for the lake
hoping to get some game before
breakfast. 1t happened that he hit
the lake Just at the spot the decoys
had been placed and catching sight
of the birds apparently floating about
on the water he got down on his
hands and knees and using some
brush as a screen crawled mp to with
in short distance of them. With
as little noise as an Indian would
make he came to a full standing po-
sition with his gun to his shoulder
and covered all of the little flock.
What he did to those ducks was a
shame and it was shown later that
none of them got away except a few
that might have sunk from an over
dose of lead.
Hall is now hailed as the cham
pion pot-shot of the club, but a
stranger would have a hard time get
ting the details OF how he acquired
the title.

MINERS FIND GOLD IN
DUCK CREEK DISTRICT

While driving a shaft on a group
of claims adjoining the Success mine
on Duck creek, Andrew Ghijerri and
Frank Piombo encountered ore that
carries free gold. The men had To-
Gated the claims about year ago and
this summer started to work them
for lead, as this is the mineral most
in evidence at the Success property.
Before they had gone very far into
the ground, however, they struck
the gold and as it was in such large
quantities they thought it best to
have it assayed The result of the
assay proved the samples to be very
rich and the men were much excited
over their find. They have returned
to Duck creek to open up the ore
bodies further and learn the exact
location of the precious metal.

GROVER CLEVELAND
DOOMED TO DEATH
FORMER PRESIDENTS TIME Is
SHORT DECLARES FRIEND
OF FAMILY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1--we must
all be prepared for bad news from
Princeton" said a Democrat of prom
inence today, who passed through
New York city on his way to his coun-
try home, because Mr.. Cleveland's s
health is failing rapidly. He is
troubled with gout in his feet, which
is spreading to his knees, and has
fallen off in weight forty pounds
within three months. Mr.. Cleveland
does not quite appreciate his condi-
ton, but Mrs. Cleveland does.
mo communications of publis or
private Importance are now submit
ted to Mr. Cleveland. Mrs. Cleve-
land is acting practically as his con-
fidentia adviser and secretary in all
matters, and she is fully acquainted
with her husbands real condition.
ar. Cleveland has remained at
his nome in Princeton all summer.
..e Cleveland children have been at
Mr.. Cleveland New Hampshire home
with their grandparents. Mrs. Cleve-
land has believed it to be necessary
to remain with her husband at
Princeton.
His recovery is not looked for.
He may live for a number of weeks,
but he will never return to his office
in the Equitable Life building. Not
only is, he afflicted with gout in his
feet and knees. but he is subject to
frequent attacks of acute indigestion
and an intestinal difficulty.
This great Democratic president :
went on the friend who told of Mr..
Cleveland's real physical condition,
"is a perfect exemplification of the
old French saying TT is not so much
the entrance to life as the exit, and
he went on to say that after all the
battles, all the heartburnings and
factional differences, exPresident
Cleveland is now, in these radical
days, the idol of the real Democracy
of the country.
From other sources it was learned
that Mr.. Cleveland has given up all
interest in public affairs.

.F|REMEN PROTEST
AGAINST B0NF|RES
CHIEF M'NULTY SAYS PRACTICE
BURNING RUBBISH MUST
BE STOPPED.

Chief McNulty and Assistant Chief
Rowe of the Ely fire department have
registered a strenuous kick with the
local authorities on the number of
bonfires that have been permitted in
the city limits
The heads of the fire department
assert that the firemen have been
called out on several occasions of
late to extinguish bontires that have
been started by those who wished to
destroy rubbish and junk that has
accumulated near their houses That
this is a very dangerous practice has
been shown, they assert, by the num-
Der of fires that have resulted in Sc
rious damage to property and were
started by persons with the intention
of destroying waste paper and trash.
The firemen point out the fact
that when the fire is discovered at
some distance from the place where
the fire apparatus is located the per-
sons who discover the cOnflagration
are unable to determine if it is
dwelling in flames or merely bon
fire and this is especially true at
night when only the blaze can be
seen.
The fact that the men who serve
on the fire department do so without
any compensation and in view of the
good work that they have done in
extinguishing fires in the past should,
they think, have some weight with
those who make a practice of start
ing these small fires. The city Of
fcers have been instructed to cau-
ton the public in regard to bonfires
and in any cases reported in the fu-
ture to make arrests as an ordinance
has been passed prohibiting fires of
that kind in the city limits.

DECLARES PURSUER
INTENDED To SHOOT
JAMES M'GEE MAKES RECORD
RUN FROM RIEpETOWN, AR
RTVING MINUS SHOES.

James McGee, who was employed
for several months at the Idaho
stables, but during the past three
weeks has been working at Riepe
town, came into town yesterday and
in doing so incidentally broke the
running record from Lane City to the
corner of Murry and Aultman streets.
At this point he ran into Deputy
Sheriff Butler and embraced him as
a long lost friend.
1t was some time before McGee
was able to talk but when he finally
regained his breath he told the Of
ficer that a man had been after him
with a gun and he had run all the
way from Lane City.
According to his story he was en-
ployed as a cook in a saloon at Riepe
town and this morning the bartender,
whose name he did not know. accused
him of stealing a pocket-book con-
tanning 500. McGee denied the accu
sation and started To leave the house
to walk to Ely. He caught ride
short distance down the road and
travelled to Lane City and while pas
sing through there sighted his arch
enemy alighting from vehicle in
the rear. flourishing a big navy re-
volver. Realizing that the first law
of nature is self-preservation McGee
jumped from the wagon and started
to run. He claims that he looked
over his shoulder occasionally in
hopes that he had out-distanced the
dispenser of liquids, but the latter
was always on the trail and it was
only after kicking off his shoes that
the erstwhile cook could make any
material gain.
When he arrived in Ely. minus
the shoes, he induced Sheriff Butler
to make search for the bad man
while he regained his breath and
collected his thoughts. The search
availed nothing, however, but it may
have been that the bartender had
not as yet arrived as McGee asserts
that he made the distance from Lane
City here in nothing fiat.
The man who drove the wagon in
which McGee was riding arrived lat
er and corroborated the story as told
by the cook, but said he had lost
sight of the pair some distance from
Ely and was never able to overtake
them.

TEX RICHARD BACK
FROM GANs-BR|TT GO
DECLARES MAHOGANY pUGILIST
WORLDS GREATEST FIGHT
ING MACHINE.

Seems good to get back where a
fellow can get bath and shave,
said Tex Rickard yesterday after
noon as he stepped from his big
Thomas flyer, after having made a
quick run from Goldfied, where he
has large interests, and where he has
been since the Gans-Britt fight at San
Francisco.
I'VE made the run from Goldtield
in eight and three-quarters hours ac-
tual running time he continued,
though we have been on the way
since yesterday at noon. We put up
for the night on the way, for there
was no use killing ourselves just to
make a record.
How about the fight Well, there
ism t much to say about that 1t is
past history now. All that was to
be said has been printed in the pa
pers. What did | think of the fight?
Well, I thought just the same before
it came off that | did after. Cans
told me that he would win and said
that if it was not in the fifth round,
it would be shortly after that time.
The end came very quickly. Britt
was whipped in the fifth. Cans was
master of the fight at every turn, and
Britt acted like child. He couldn't t
hold up his guards. He didn't seem
to have any ginger at any stage of
the game. 1t was simply 'pohk chops
for Cans, from start to finish.
"And what about Cans future?
Cans will meet any man in the world
at 1873 pounds. Any man now in the
ring would be foolish to go against
him. He is in a class all by himself,
and is unapproachable, Just as JEFF
fries is in his own class.
"The Gans-Burns fight which will
come off in short time will be a
little more easy money for the ma
hogany wonder. Cans is certainly the
greatest fighter in the world at his
weight. He is now in a position to
dictate any terms he wants to make
"Why, in his fight with Britt Cans
would not let his seconds and help
ers even fan him between the rounds.
He was not hurt and did not even
get up a sweat to punish Britt On
the other hand, Britt worked hard.
Cans merely played with him until
he settled him.
Mr. Rickard declined to discuss his
own fight projects, but said that he
had plans afoot to bring to Ely either
pair of top-notchers in the heavy
weight line, or in the lightweight
class. If his plans succeed, Ely will
have championship battle that will
attract attention all over the world.
There's no use specializing, and
saying what we hope will be done,
or in rushing into print with what
I'd like to do, until there's something
definite to work on" said Mr.. Rick
ard. LAS soon as the details are
completed, the whole story will he
published all over the country, and
Ely will get the benefit of the pub
licitY''
