GO IN AT EVEN MONEY.
Is Present Outlook for Betting When
the Gong Sounds-King Now
the Favorite.

AS the day approaches nearer more
talk is heard and more interest is be-
ing generally shown in the boxing
match which will be had Saturday
night at the skating rink between
Andy King of Butte and Frank Har-
den, of Cripple Greek. Every indi-
cation is that there will be a record
breaking crowd in attendance when
the gong is sounded.
Both have been in training for
weeks and each presents we'll hard
ened appearance. Each declares he
Is prepared to show the best that is
in him and as neither has the repu-
tationr of being ''piker," good sport
should be forthcoming.
Up to the present there has been
little or no betting on the outcome
of the bout but what little has been
nut up has shown King a slight fa-
vorite, with odds of 10 to 8. This
is doubtless on account of the fight
he put up against Jack Hennessy
here. 1t ia generally thought that
the two will climb into the ring at
even money.

EI.Ko TEAM wITHDRAws.
Gives Notice at Last Moment That IL
Will Not Play Here the 4th-
New Games Arranged.

Elko at the last moment has called
of the baseball game with Ely. a tele-
gram to that effect having been re-
ceived yesterday by Winnie Fulmer,
manager OF the Ely organization.
The dispatch was In answer to one
sent by Fuimer several days since
and stated merely that it would. be
impossible TO keep the date. The
real reason, however, is that the
Elko aggregation is billed for Reno
where a three day celebration will be
held.
Among the baseball players of this
district there is much indignation at
the treatment accorder Ely by the
Elko team and its management, as
1t was upon proposition from them
that the game was first contemplat-
ed. The withdrawal will not kill
baseball on the Fourth or fifth, how
ever, as Manager Fulmer yesterday
visited Smelter and made arrange
ments with the Eagles to carry out
the program as advertised.
The fact that Elko will not be here
as advertised Is mucn deplored by
the committee in charge of the events
and by the players themselves, but
they wish 1t distinctly understood
that they are not at fault. A good
quality of ball Is practically assured
people coming to the games on Sat-
urday and Sunday, as the same teams
which played on last Sunday in the
double header will be seen.

TO WET DOWN THE TOWN.
Friday Evening VIII See Effort Made
to Reduce Fire Danger to Min

All Ely win take compulsory
bath Friday evening. The entire
town will be drenched with clear cool
water. Not that the people will be
compelled TO stand out In a drench-
ing torrent of ley water from the
mountains but the fire and the wa
ter companies have agreed to give the
business portion of the town a thor
ough wetting down in order to es-
cape danger of fires on the 4th and
5th.
Fire is one of the chief dangers
in connection with the day, as the
small but patriotic residents of the
district will shoot flrecrackers. de-
spite the orders of the city marshal
to the contrary; for are they not free
American citizens and what does the
word of a mere officer matter to a
kid anyway.
There are several especially dan
gerous places in town where paper
and other rubbish has accumulated
between buildings. A, spark in one
of these might work disastrously.
The hose companies will be out for
several hours, thoroughly wetting

inhabitants, had been assaulted and
captured by revolutionists. At the
interior department and at the office
of the president of the Mexican Cen
tral railway the correspondent of the
Associated Press was assured that the
report was absolutely untrue. A tel

by one of the officers at that place
in the following laconic language:

BEEF CHEAP HERE.
In Comparison With Eastern Prices
Advance Has Not Yet Struck
White Pine-Ranges Good.

The scarcity Of beef cattle which
is causing SO much anxiety In the
western part of Nevada Is not In evi-
dence in White Pine. according to
Frank Nevin Of the Ely Meat Co
The ranges are in good condition and
at present there seems to be no threat
to eastern Nevada cattle. Beef prices
have not advanced as they have IN
other cattle sections and no immedi-
ate increase is in prospect. With
regard to this feature, however, Mr.
Nevin said yesterday:
II think that within a year this
part OF the state will experience the
Drevsiling high prices now existing
in other parts of Nevada, for the rea-
son that outside buyers will without

doubt boost demand and price. Cat
tie news travels fast among them
and they will come where they can
get fine fat beef cattle for the least
money.
Present prices in the county are
not at all unreasonable. Otherwise
Ely butchers could not sell beef for
71k and cents. That is about what
beef cattle bring on foot in the east.
This means that Ely consumers are
getting their meat for about one-half
what the eastern consumer is, as a
butcher counts on u steer losing al
most half its weight when dressed. Z"
Mr.. Nevin, who recently returned
from a visit to southwestern White
Pine and the northern portion of Nye
county, states that the ranges are in
very fair condition at present.

AMBITIOUS PLAN.
Ball Team Would Make II Tour of
State-Want n $500 Guarantee.

If plans at present entertained by
the management of the Ely baseball
team are carried out and the nee
essary support is secured, the play
ers representing this district will
shortly take a trip of the same kind
that was made last year to Ogden.
Salt Lake and other points. The trip
now planned. however, is within the
STATE.
The first step planned is the get
ting together of the fastest team the
district can gather from the organiza-
tions AT mines. Smelter, Ely City and
Ely. A Pullman will be chartered
and an advance agent sent out two
weeks ahead of the coming of the
players to arrange a schedule of
games for them. The schedule as
now planned includes EIko, Carlln,
Winnemueea, Fallon, Reno, Sparks,
Carson, Goldfeld and Tonopah.
1t is stated that II guarantee of
$500 can be raised among the bust
ness men of the district the trip,
which the promoters consider would
be a great advertisement to the sec
tion, could be taken. Ball game re-
ceipts would probably cover ex-
penses and no call be necessary upon
those who guaranteed the $500. One
way figured for tightening expenses
of the trip is by filling the car with
other than baseball players who
might wish to accompany them. A
reasonable rate would be charged
and except for board and any amount
they wished to spend they would be
under no expense on the entire trip,
as the ear would serve for sleeping
quarters.
II is probable that as soon as the
Fourth of July celebration is over
that meeting of the team will be
called and the matter be thoroughly
discussed and an effort to secure the
necessary guarantee made.

was originally considered by those

the elimination of requirement of a
stop in the center of the town and
said that as citizen he was strong
ly opposed to granting of the fran
chise. Carbon replied with de-
fense of the depot on its present site
and defense of the refusal of the
railroad to accede the franchise In
event it required the maintenance
of more than one depot. In this
Mayor Clark said that he considered
the railroad taking sensible stand. as
it would be foolish to operate two

aGGERATED NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS

WASHINGTON, July by direc-
tion of President Roosevelt, Secretary
of War Taft has issued orders to
the commanding general of the de-
partment of Texas, at San Antonio,
to send sufficient number of troops
TO Del Rio, Ell Paso and other points
in Texas to aid the civil authorities
in preserving order.
This action was decided upon as a
result of the request from the Mexi-
can government that the United
States do its utmost to prevent any
violation of the neutrality laws.
The request of the Mexican gov
ernment was referred to the attorney
general by the state department, and
the governor of Texas in the mean
time was asked to aid in compelling
obedience to the law. The order of
the president sending troops to the
border is understood to have been
made upon the recommendation of
the attorney general.
Brigadier General Meyer, in COM
mand of the department of Texas, is
authorized to ascertain the number
of troops necessary at Del Rio and
Ell Paso, and also to send troops to
any other points along the Mexico
Texas border IL found advisable. The
federal troops will act under the di-
rection of the United States marshal
and the United States district attor-
ney. The troops presence will also
do much to prevent any outbreaks
within United States territory and
will be of material assistance in the
event that revolutionists should cross
the border. Del Rio is directly OPP
