Nevada's Chief Justice
Entertained.

A most enjoyable and enter
tanning affair was the surprise
party rendered Chief Justice
George F. Talbot by his many
Phoebe friends, Tuesday even
ing. A large number of friends
and acquaintance gathered at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. F.
Prudential, and at $50 o'clock,
repaired to the Hotel Cecil, at
which place the judge was a
guest, and carried with them
many good and savory creations
in the culinary line. The people
assembled in the hotel parlors and
the Judge was informed that his
presence was desired; to which
invitation he responded. but the
large audience which greeted
him was a great surprise. He
was disconnected but for the
moment, and in his usual kind
and affable manner, greeted
those present and extended an
invitation for all to enjoy them
selves. which was right heartily
accepted; singing, story. telling
ETC., was INDUCED in to the
amusement of all, after which
a delicate and tasty lunch
con was served. The party
then adjourned to the Thomp-
son dance hall, where the light
fantastic was tipped until all had
enjoyed themselved to the limit
of physical endurance.
We have but one regret to
register and that is that Judge
Talbot is not situated SO he could
make his visits to Phoebe more
frequent, for it is certainly an
occasion of a general good time
for his friends of whom no one
has more than he among the
populace Of Phoebe.

cording to report, which will
conform with the maximums of

Although there is no road
which conforms to all the maxi

number of the tariffs in use by
the roads which are as low and
in several instances lower than
the maximum set by the Syphus
act. This is true in the long dis

DETROIT TO MEET
BARONS TOMORROW
Regular Men viii Probably Be
in the Came
monty" OUT YESTERDAY
Said His Eyes Did Not Trouble Him.
Barons Practiced Hard Yester-
day Both In the Morning
and Afternoon.

Two of the best practices of the season
were pulled off yesterday by the Barons
In the morning the team had about three
hours of practice and afternoon practice
continued for about two hours.
The practice tended to put several OF
the Barons in better condition, and the
other practices of this week and the three
games with Detroit should bring the
team around to pretty good shape for
the opening.
Detroit comes tomorrow for three games,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. After
that the Barons have Sunday a day of
rest and then with good weather Mon
day there will be a light practice before
the season opens Tuesday.
The three games with Detroit will be
watched with a great deal of interest by
the fans. In the previous practice games
with the big league teams the fans could
not get fair idea of the strength of the
Barons, for the team has never been in
shape to put up its best game. The regu-
lar players have not all been in the game
and it was too early 10 tell what the
boys could do.
However in the Detroit games 1t will be
different They are played only three or
four days before the regular season opens,
and it is probable that more Of the regu-
lars will be in the game than a any pre-
vious time this spring
1t is probable that only one of the regu-
lar players will be out of the game dur
ing at least two of the Detroit series.
This will be Oyler Montgomery hopes
to be in the game Friday or Saturday of
this week and it is almost certain that
he will be in shape to play by Tuesday.
He was out practicing yesterday with
the team and stated that his eyes gave
him practically no trouble
Walters will be back at second and
the other members of the team will be
in their places Detroit is bringing a
pretty fast bunch of players to Birming-
ham this year and will make things lively
around the Glagpile for the Barons. Ii
one or two of the games can be taken
from Detroit they will be the first OF
the preseason games that the Barons
have won. With the pitchers in the con-
dition they are in now there seems to be
no reason why the Barons should not
take at least one of the games.

Wanted Him to Take a Chance.

From the Denver Post
A middle-aged woman stepped up to one
of the stamp windows at the postoffice
yesterday afternoon, and pushing two
packages toward the man inside, said
'One of these takes u cents and the other
13. Here's a quarter. Please sell me the
stamps"
The man placed the stamps before her
and took the money.
Then the woman smiled sweetly
Would you mind putting the stamps on
the packages for me?" she asked.
Il make 1t a rule not to do that here"
replied the man.
I'm sorry" came from the woman.
I'm always afraid of poison
"You won't get poisoned licking
stamps" said the man.
WELL" she SAID, you never can tell.
Anyway ] hate to take the chances.
Won't you lick them for
'Next"' called the man, and the line
moved up.
