Edward Calhoun, one of these boys was tenn
porarily bailed, pending decision to "knoW
what to do with him" The boy is under four
teen years OF age and refractory pupil OF the
public school, when he is there. On Monday
afternoon, Superintendent Brooks appeared
before Squire Collins and preferred charges
against Calhoun for truancy and incorrigibil-
ity. Charles Moore, Esq OF Georgetown, one
Of the county commissioners was present. In
committing to the Reform School, the law
makes It optional with the Justice, regarding
the time. Mr.. Moore suggested that the lad
be committed until he arrives at the age Of
fourteen years, when the superintendent
authority over him will cease and then should
the reformation not be complete, he may be
returned to the school under the responsible
ity OF some one else. Acting on this sugges-
ton, the boy was committed to the FERRIS
Reform school until January Dist, 1909 Of
which time he will have reached the age Of
fourteen years Constable Ingram took the
boy away on Tuesday.

Last Night

W. W. Booth Grant Crumley, Haas nd
Thanked by Driver 1A

The great American car arrived in
Tonopah last night at 11:15 o'clock,
and was immediately announced to
the city by the piercing blasts of the
Extension mine whistle. The car
at once drove up to the Bonanza of
flee, where it was viewed by thou
sands who had remained up to wit
ness its arrival. The greeting ten
dered the car and it's occupants by
Tonopah was an enthusiastic one,
cheer after cheer being given with
true American patriotism. Colored
lights had been strung along Brough-
er avenue and there the crowd well
coined the racing party. In the car
were George Schuster, chief engi.
neer; Harold Brinker, driver, and
Charles Duprez. photographer of the
New York Times, who will accom-
pany the party to San Francisco.
That the car is now in Tonopah
and not stranded out on the desert,
miles from any town, or telegraph or
telephone service, is due to the true
patriotism of w. w. Booth of the

relief party returned to Tonopah at
5 o'clock, and as soon as the mahcine
drew up before the Nevada Club it
was besieged by hundreds who were
curious to know when the racer
would arrive and the extent of the
injuries the machine had received.
All questions were answered and the
public notified as to when the car
was expected.
During the afternoon several par
ties in autos started for the springs,
but failed to complete the journey.
In the evening the Bonanza special
left at $3.50 O'Clock, going as far as
Hannapah in order to meet and es-
cort the party into Tonopah, but fail
