Wood crackles when It is ignited be
cause the air expanded by heat forces
its way through the pores of the wood
with a cracking noise. Green wood
makes less swapping than dry because
the pores contain less air, being filled
with sap and moisture, which extin

dry wood are filled with air, which
supports combustion.

Fallon VS.. LOveI0Ck

The game of ball scheduled to
take place on the local grounds
Sunday between Fallon and Love-
lock took place and resulted in a
score of 10 10 3 in favor of the
latter team. The Fallon boys
played a listless game and allow
ed the visitors to pile up lead in
the early innings that could not
be overcome. The result was
not surprising in view of the
TACT that our boys never have a
oall in their hands except when
playing a game, while on the
other hand the Lovelock team
practice together daily and show
The effects in their team work.
Everybody in town and the
surrounding country and then
some were on hand to see the
game, which was enlivened by
music from Fallon's crack brass
oand.

HAZEN IS NOW IN ASHES

Front Street Wiped Out by
Fire Sunday.

A fire which started at O'Clock
Sunday afternoon in the rear of the
building owned and formerly oc-
cupied by A. F. Branch as a mer-
camille store swept westward and
destroyed every building along the
front street and laid the railroad
eating house in ashes. The bridge
across the canal between the Ne
vada Inn and the depot was also
burned and the depot badly scorched.
There is not a business house left in
the railroad town.
Scott Kendall, night bartender at the
Nevada Inn, came over to Fallon on a
late train Sunday night. He said that
he was in bed when the fire started and
barely had time to put on his clothes,
place a few things in suit case, throw
them out the window and jump GU,
after them. While he was dressing
two explosions occurred, one of which,
he saws, was from dynamite and giant
powder and tn other from gasoline
which was stored in the Higman store.
The force of the expiosi tore the
boards from the ceiling in his room and
some of them fell at his feet.
Heroic work was done in saving the
depot from the flames.
The total loss must be fully sl00, 600,
with nominal insurance.
Postmaster Higman told Postal Agent
Bulmer, few hours after the fire, that
everything in tho post office was gone,
the mail and postage stamps, of which
be had large quantity. his books and
even his lock keys.

FORTUNE IN CHICAGO
James D. (Blackey) Kay, of this
City, Has Fallen Heir to
Big Estate.

u. w. fOOLe Is thinking ABOUT
resigning his present position
and starting a detective agency
for the finding of lost persons.
He has just succeeded in ferret
ing out the mystery of the miss
ing Warren E. Brayton, and now
comes the story of him locating
the missing heir to a large for
tune in Chicago.
About two weeks ago he picked
up the San Francisco Examiner
and his attention was attracted
to an article wherein Paddy Nc
Farland, the prizefighter, had
told the sporting editor of that
paper that he (McFarland) had a
friend in Chicago who was desir-
Gus of locating a brother, who was
presumed to be somewhere on
the coast. The name of the miss
ing one was James d. Kay, and
the Examiner man wrote up the
facts as given, with the expecta-
ton of some one seeing the item
who might be able to furnish the
desired information. Of course
that some one" was Fallon's
wide-awake detective, Hawk
shaw" Foote. He recognized
the name as a man in the employ
of the W. w. Williams Co. at
the present time. Accordingly
"Blackey" as Kay is called, was
before Foote and
q Questioned in regard to his re-
iatives, his home, ETC., with the
result that he proved to be the
man wanted.
Mr.. Foote wired the sporting
editor of the Examiner the facts
in the case, and the later wired
the brother in Chicago. A few
days ago "Blackey" received a
letter from his brother, stating
that the parents had died during
the formers absence, leaving a
large estate. The letter stated
that the insurance had been col
lected and everything possible
had been converted into cash and
that his portion had been placed
in a bank in trust for HIM.
There were several large busi-
ness blocks and considerable real
estate left, with which nothing
could be done until the arrival of
James D. in Chicago.
Mr.. Foote says that James d.
Kay has been working for w. w.
Williams for several months and
that he had not lost a single day
except one, and that was on the
occasion of the visit of the Fallon
baseball team to Lovelock, week
ago Sunday, in which game he
prayed. On learning the news
of his good fortune he continued
right ahead with his work, but
will leave this week for the VIM
dy City to calm his share.
In the meantime, while ''Blac-
key" goes East to revel in the
fortune, Detective Foote will
keep right on restoring missing
relatives and heirs to their rights.

ROMANCE IN FALLON
Article in Standard" Restores
Long Lost Son to the Arms
of His Mother.


ARD appeared an article, publish
ed at the request of Mrs. James
Musselman, of this city, seeking
information as to the where
abouts of her son, which read in
part:
Mrs. James Musselmarn, for
merly Mrs. Huldah S. Brayton,
would like information as to the
whereabouts of her son, Warren
E. Brayton, who left Woonsocket,
Jerauld county, South Dakota,
about twenty years ago and went
to the Black Hills. At that time
Warren was about 20 years old,
VIII ch would make him 10 years
Of age at the present time.
The story OF the finding of Mr..
Brayton reads like a veritable
Arabian Nights tale. Before the
INK was hardly dry on the paper
{. w. Foote, manager for W. w.
Williams, had read the article in
the STANDARD and recognized by
the name a man who had been
a member of Isaacs' engineering
crew at the time the Southern
Pacific was building into Fallon.
When Isaacs went to Palisade
Brayton went with him, and from
Palisade he went to Drain, Ore
gon, for on the 26th day of
Mai ch, 1908. Brayton wrote a
letter dated at Drain, to Mr.. c.
w. Foote, asking if there was
any chance to get employment as
a blacksmith, saying that if there
was he and his wife would come
to Fallon.
Mr.. Foote Immediately notified
Mrs. Musselman of the facts as
above set forth, and at once
wrote to Supt. Manson of the
Southern Pacific inquiring if
Brayton was still on the payroll
of the road. He also wrote a
letter to Brayton at Drain ac-
quainting him with the paticu-
lars.
1t will not be long before the
mother and son, who have been
separated these many years, will
be restored to each others arms,
and that through the efforts of
the STANDARD. Mrs. Musselman
stated to a representative of the
STANDARD last week that she did
not know whether her son was
dead or alive. The news that he
is living and well must fill her
heart with joy, and now that he
is married it would not be strange
and would be a fitting climax TO
this verifcation of the adage
that truth is stranger than fc-
ton" if when they meet Mrs.
Musse.man finds grandchi.d 10
brighten her declin ng years.
One of the strangest incidents
connected with this unusual story
is the fact that Brayton worked
right here in Fallon, within a
stones throw of the home of his
mother, and neither knew of the
others existence. And yet it is
not strange, for they had sep
arated in South Dakota, 1000
miles distant, 20 years befors
and Mrs. Brayton had become
Mrs. Musselman in the mean
time.
