ALL AVAILABLE
MEN ON ORE LINE

One of the most important, If not
the leading movement of the current
month, was started yesterday by the
Nevada Northern at Copper Flat.
where every available laborer was set
at work on ballasting of the tracks
hastily laid to the shafts of the Cum
berland Ely and Nevada Consolidat-
ed some time since.
On the work are employed all of
the laborers obtainable. Every ef-
fort will be made to push the work
forward from this time on in pre-
pairing the line TO carry the heavy
traffic destined to go over. 1t as soon
as the work is finished.
1t is entirely matter of conjec-
ture when the ballasting can be fin
ished. Climatic conditions will be
the main factor in determining the
length of time which must be spent
upon 1t. Should the snowfall of last
night be heavier in the hills than at
Ely it will delay work to some ex-
tent. II is hoped, however, that the
weather will allow completion of the
big job by the middle of the month.

As the result of the attempt to mur-
der Gen. Bulkely Wells. general man
ager of the Smuggler-Union mines
and mills at Pandora yesterday morn
ing, Sheriff Fitzpatrick is taking pre-
cautions to guard the jail in which
Steve Adams. charged with the as
sassination of Arthur l.. Collins, Cen
eral Wells predecessor. Is confined.
The feeling against Adams is hecom-
ing more bitter from day to day. He
Is supposed to represent the element
among the miners that believes in
violence against the mine owners.
Feeling against Adams has also
been engendered, 1t is said, because
of the fact that during the past two
weeks fully score or more of min
ers and others who were deported
during the troublesome strike days
have returned to the district and are
actively engaged in circulating among
all classes and attempting to create
sympathy and sentiment for Harry

COW STAMPEDES
AULTMAN STREET

It is hard even to surmise which
was most frightened. a COW which
with her calf ran believing down
Aultman street yesterday afternoon.
or the crowds OF women who fed be-
fore her for the friendly shelter af-
forded by the doorways of nearby
buildings. No one was hurt, FORUM
ately, the man who was driving the
COW succeeding in turning her down
Murry street before she had done
any damage.
The cause of all the commotion
was yellow dog of the despicable
barking breed, which ran out and
commenced to worry the calf He
was soon joined by others and the
little animal becoming terror strick-
en-, started on dead run down the
street. The COW breaking into a lope
followed to defend her little one.
The movement was signal for the
women, of whom there were many
on the street, to start hurriedly to
the nearest retreat offering safety.
Some sought stores, some other busi-
ness houses, while two in their ex-
citement ran wildly into a saloon.
The COW ran from the corner OF
sixth street to Murry, following close
on the heels of the calf and goring
right and left at any passing object
| She started several times to enter
