COAL FAMINE SEEMS
TO NOW Be ON HAND
OUTSIDE OF RAILROAD AND
SHELTER THE DISTRICT Is
PRACTICALLY WITHOUT COAL
As RESULT OF STRIKES.

Ely as well as the entire district
is threatened with coal famine in
the immediate future. a fact that is
giving not alone the coal dealers but
many others in the vicinity anxiety.
Not the least of these is the Nevada
Northern railroad. which is said to
have only about a half a month S
supply ahead. The situation Is due
10 the strike in the coal districts OF
Wyoming. Montana and Idaho.
In all of the district. aside from
the supply the Nevada Northern has
and a smaller supply at Smelter,
it is doubtful If there are hundred
tons of coal on hand. Orders sub
mitted yesterday TO Ely coal eompa-
nies were either cut down or were
turned entirely away with the state
ment that there was no coal To be
had.
c. d. Nautrin. manager of the Ely

SERIOuS SLY HURT.
Reckless Racing on Street Resulted
in Injury of Two Men
Last Night.

Reckless racing on the streets re-
suited in an accident last night of
kind that has been expected for some
time as result of the practice, and
which should serve to bring it to a
stop. As a result of the accident
last night a barkeeper named Collins
is perhaps seriously injured, while
II. w. Andrews. a well known brake
man, sustained painful injuries. A
wrecked buggy and an injured horse
are side issues.
Andrews was the victim of the
wreckless riding of Collins, the bug
gy which Andrews was driving, be-
longing to Fulmer & Ives. being run
into by a horse which Collins. was
riding in a race with companion.
The collision occurred at the eeme-
terry. Collins horse striking that
driven by Andrews and later collid-
ing with the front wheel of the bug
gy. The latter was tipped up and
Andrews thrown into the road. He
held to the lines and stopped the
horse. The harness was about torn
from the latter and the buggy badly
damaged.
When his horse collided with the
rig it was brought to sudden stop
and Collins pitched headlong to the
road. His face was badly cut. The
full extent of his injuries could not
be aseertained last night After the
accident he was taken to his room at
the Hayes Park Green hotel by his
companion, where he was attended
during the night by physicians. An-
drews was able TO come back TO Eyl
City and beyond a sore arm will be
none the worse today for his expert

Free beer came through at

ties for the thirsty. The spring

variously commented upon. Peo-
pie were not lacking who de-
clared that the keg was slipped
in unannounced in order that
few insiders might get their fill
without disturbance. A nota-
BILE point in connection with the
meeting was the fact that on

CINE has not become overheated.

flights closely believe that a wonder

At the Ely Lumber & Coal Co.
the same story was told. All of their
supply has been sold and there is no
chance of new deliveries from any
point within the next week or two.
The only company which could under
existing circumstances do anything
about delivery of coal is the Utah
Fuel Co, which. through affiliation
with the ID. & K. G.. railroad. cannot
under the Hepburn act sell to pri-
vate consumers. The supply in the
hands of all of the coal dealers of
the district was estimated by c. w.
Dickinson as not being enough to last
one week.
At the Steptoe Valley Coal & Lum-
Der Co. in Ely City, better state
of affairs is in force, although the
supply on hand Is not large and much
of it has been spoken for and is be-

matter of mere speculation on the
part of the dealers.

Breaking World Records.

The other day a press dispatch from
the coast gave an account of some
runner going out and breaking the
worlds record for 200 yards Every
time an ambitious athlete wants to get
his name in the papers he picks out
some easy stunt, that no other person
ever considered worthy of trial, and
no matter what the outcome il is pro-
nounced worlds record. Just why
the public should credit a man for
breaking a record at some freak dis
lance that no one else ever tried. or
ever will try to duplicate, is hard to
explain, but it seems to be spring
style in athletics these days.
Some years ago here in Salt Lake
Oscar Julius the dub bicycle rider.
who could hardly ride fast enough to
keep from being run over. conceived
the idea of establishing d record. He
hied himself to Liberty park and pro-
ceeded TO break the 100-miIe record for
the park. No person ever attempted
il before or since, and, of course, Ju-
liUs captured the record. Julius had
hardly slid off his wheel until he
rushed to the newspaper Offices 10 an
nounce his wonderful ride. Instead OF
getting his photo published and a
glowing account of what ne had done.
Oscar received a bunch that forever
put a damper on his record breaking
stunts at Liberty park.

COLORADO At
OUTS WITH A.A.U.
Effort Being Made to Force
Boulder to Join Nation
al Body.

Denver, Colo, April 25.-The threatened
split in athletic relations between Colorado
and the Mines is lamentable. The State
School of Mines has never been a close
competitor for track hOnors in this state
and its refusal to meet the state men this
year will look like case of cold feet to
those who have followed the track ath-
letics of the state for any considerable
time past and who know the relative
standings of the two Institutions on the
C'nder path. For the past three years
the Miners have held the unquestonable
prestige on the gridiron, the season past
has seen them win the undisputed title in
basketball, but there is no plausible rea-
son why they should refuse TO meet Colo
RADIO on the track.
II is true that ColoraGos athletic rep
resentatives have evidenced their usual
highhanded methods in dealing with the
A. A L.. which did not add to the SYM
pathy of the public for The state insti-
tuition. Sooner or later. in fact as soon
as the schools in this section become of
sufficient national athletic importance to
warrant the move. the national body will
force them to come INTO the fold whether
they will or no and there is no reason
why they should not fall in line now.
1t is a question whether the University
Of Colorado is not member or rather
had not been a member before being dis
qualified on account of failure TO pay
dues. L all the teams of an Institution
belong 10 the A. A. L. il is certain that
the athletic portion of the university Is
Joined in the national body, whether the
erindS. the goods and others known as
the student body do or not
And il will be remembered that in 1905,
under the regime of Coach Crop, every
member of the baseball and track teams
and the writer believes. the football
eleven, was forced to pay his dues to the
national body In a word the athletic
representatives all belonged 10 the 4.
\. L. and because the apathetiC student
body did not know that such had been
the case does not in any way alter the
situation And now it seems that the
proper thing for Colorado would be TO
come into the a. a. l., to go to Colo

GIRLS GIVE UP BASKETBALL
Swallowed Too Much Gum and Are
Looking for New
Snort,

OwOssO, Mich. April 25.-Basketball has
never secured much Of a foothOId here.
There have been other indoor sports which
the boys consider more exciting. and al
though the girls made a valiant attempt
TO pOpulaTize the game. they could not
do so.
One reason was that the same team
would not be in the field two games ia
succession. The cause of the frequent
changes was a good deal of mystery. too.
Many times there were changes during
the game. Time would be called dur
ing scrimmage, and one of the fair con-
testants would emerge from the fray and
retire slowly to the dressing room. far
away look in her eye, and a puzzled frOWn
on her brow. A sub would trOt. IN to
take her place, and while the audience
cOnjectured the reason Of the change the
game would go on Sometimes il was
fair player who dropped out sometimes
a star, so ability had nothing TO do with
it.
Now that it's all over, one of the play
ers has consented to enlighten the pub
lie as TO the cause of the shifts. We
just couldn't play without swallowing our
gum, she confessed. 1T would go along
all right until the play would get eX-
citing, and then down would go that mis-
cradle gum. Why, l swallowed five sticks
one week. a doctor told US gum isn't
good for the digestion; that's the reason
we don't play the game any more II we
could just invent some way of playing
the game without gum, or TO keep from
swallowing il, YOU would see a girls

Tozer's Work for Cincinnati.

At this writing Bill Tozer, the Salt
Lake tWirler who is with Cincinnati
this season. has pitched part of two
games. In both cases Cincinnati had
already lost the game, and Tozer was
sent in when victory was hopeless,
but in both cases Tozer held up his
end of the game well.
New pitchers in the big leagues are
seldom sent in to pitch games right off
the reel, but are generally worked as
TOzer is being done. They are given
trial after the game has been lost in
order to get them used TO facing the
firing line in the big league. A mis-
take viii not prove costly to their
team, and in the meantime the pitch
ers are getting big league experience
When they are finally put IT at the be-
ginning of the game, they have been
up against the gaff before and do bet
ter work. This seems to be the way
ToZer is being introduced into the
game by Cincinnati. and it is for his
own good. Nearly every sporting
writer around the circuit who has seen
Tozer in action this year has good
word to say for him, and i'm nearly
every instance they predict he will
make good.
