Last night was certainly a siren
uous one in Reno. The streets were
thronged by crowds of curious wait
ing to see what the next move of the
ordinance breakers would be.
The program opened with an argu-
ment over the right of the council to
prohibit free speech and hundreds
crowded around the two men engag
ed in the discussion. The police
were soon on the scene and arrested
one of the men, j. S. Beckmeyer. He
resisted arrest on the grounds that
it was his constitutional right to
argue public question in public
was carted off to the station by the
police, followed by a mob of about
two thousand people all jeering the
officers and shouting words Of en-
couragement to the prisoner.
AS the procession neared the pO-
lice station the Volunteers of Amer
ica came out on the street and march
ed the length OF Virginia street sing
ing hymns. A greater part Of the
crowd deserted the prisoner and join
ed this religious procession. The
Volunteers proceeded up the street,
cOuntermarched to their hall and
there held services making no at
tempt to speak on the streets. The
hall was soon filled and those who
could not gain admittance remained
on the sidewalk. Obout this time an
alarm Of fire was turned in and the
crowd on the outside scurried off to
the new attraction.
The fire proved to be nothing but
the burning of an awning which was
quickly eXtinguished by the chemical
engine. Just as the crowd were fgur
ing on what TO do next the Salvation

and an instant later the cry went
up: The bridge is falling
The men made rush shoreward,
but the distance was too great for
them to escape. The falling section
of the bridge dragged others after it,
the swapping cables and girders
booming like crash Of artillery.
Terror lent tleetness to the feet OF
the frightened workmen as they sped

reached safety before the last piece
OF ironwark on the south shore was

stated that the federation has never

The "Borax' Smith railroad. has at
last reached the Lila G.. mine in
Death Valley and the famous 2O-mule
teams will exist no more, forever.
While the old familiar trademark
will probably continue to greet the
eye on the refined product, it will
be but a reminder of a romantic past,

desert on the ordinary fiat car of
commerce, about which there clings
little of the aspect of romance.
