Sympathy Is Wasted.

Miss Violet Hauk. the novelist, says
that people spend their time not In en-
joying the red haired girl, but in ex-
planning her. and that this must be
stopped. Mrs. Elinor Glyn thinks that
red-haired women are always unhappy.
and in the meantime the girl herself
calls her hair auburn and is generally
blissfully unconscious that she needs
any sympathy.

JURY FINDS AGAINST THE

Hard Fought Legal Contest Ended at Midnight
Appeal Will be Taken from the Finding

by the defense, the plaintiff called a.
b. Colwell to the stand Mr.. Col
we'll brought with him a chart show
fng the exact location of the Ruth
group of claims in connection with
the Alaska claim. BY the chart ii
was shown that the plaintiff relies
upon the alleged moving of corner
posts and other monuments by the
defendant company TO show that the
ground was vacated and the Alaska
location made legitimate. Mr. Col
well testified as to the boundaries of
the properties shown on the chart he
had brought with him, on which at
the alleged corners pegs stood up

being asked by the plaintiff what re-
lation the original discovery monu-
ment of the Ingersoll bore to the
Kearsarge patented mine. strenuous
objection was entered by the defense
and for an hour and half argument
by either side was heard by the court.
Ii was the claim of the plaintiff that
if the original monument and loca-
ton shaft were upon the kearsarge
ground the title to the lngersoll was
voided in entirety and the ground
left open for location. The defense
argued along opposite lines. Judge
Brown reserved ruling on the argu-
ments.
James Kearsarge testified as to the
boundaries of the claims, pointing
them out on the chart. The latter
was again called into question and

called 10 the stand to testify as to

ELY NARROWLY ESCAPES
DESTRUCTION BY FIRE
Burning Sage Brush Worked Close
Into the Town Yesterday
Checked Barely in Time.

One of the most threatening dam
gers experienced in Ely for many
years was brush fire which, start
ing yesterday afternoon about $50,
spread to such alarming extent, driv-
en- by a strong west wind, that for
a time it seemed that houses in up
per Murry canyon must certainly be
caught and the whole town of Ely
go up in smoke.
A hurry call was sent down for
firemen and hose carts, but though
the carts were started toward the
scene of the conflagration they were
left behind on the roadway, no water
connections being available. The
flames were found to be sweeping
over the high sage brush. which
burned fiercely. toward the plant of
the Consumers Ice Co. Fully hun
dred men fought the fire with might
and main for an hour with water
from Murry creek and by throwing
earth upon il, before il was extin-
guished. The narrowness of the es-
cape of the town is evident from the
fact that only ? feet intervened be-
tween the fire and the ice plant when
the flames were finally extinguished
Had the ice plant ignited the strong
wind would have carried burning de-
bris far into Ely and disastrous
conflagration could not have been
ayerted.
On account of the fire being of
sage brush few people realized the
danger and the larger portion of the
crowd who started out expecting to
find the blaze within in the hydrant
limits, turned back before they
reached the scene.
