WITNESSED ARRIVAL
OF FLEET IN THE SOUTH
Ely City Man Is Enthusiastic Over
Navy Showing and Big Display
of Patriotism.

Frank +. Harris returned last
night from visit IN Los Angeles.
lie Is enthusiastic over the American
fleet, which he saw enter San Pedro
harbor, and over the great reception
extended by the southern California
people. Speaking of arriva. of the
fleet. Mr. Paris said last night
THE picture was one that can
never be forgotten. The 16 huge
battleships approached with seeming
ly identical speed. In perfect align
ment and came to standstill at the
same moment. 1t seemed as IL the
whole fleet was a huge toy and the
manner In which was maneuvered
was wonderful. During the night
the 16 vessels were illuminated at ex.
actly the same moment. How such
precision of operation is obtained is
hard to realize, The great crowds
that witnessed the various ceremon-
les are wild, yes, crazy. with patriotic
sentiment. Everybody wants fieet
on the Pacific"
do they look as If they could
fight?" was asked.
There was no shouting but from
the reports from Magdalena the,
would undoubtedly make at least {
fair noise"

Converting Of Court
Postponed Week
by Telegram

Conyening of the district court has
been postponed a week, telegram to
that effect having been received from
Judge Brown by County Clerk Cara
CHAN yesterday. Postponement Is
made because of the inability of the
Judge. who will be engaged at Reno
on the trial of the Summerf1eld di-
vorce action. In which much startling
evidence will be offered, to either
get here himself or to secure the
presence of one of the other judges
In the state.
1t had been known from the time
of calling the May term for next
"Wednesday that Judge Brown would
not be able TO be here. as he would
be sitting in the Summerfield case,
but because of the fact that he re-
lieved Judge Orr II was thought thar
the latter would serve here. IL was
yesterday learned that neither Judge
Orr nor Judge Pike would be able
to come to the city.
As nearly all of the jurymen and
witnesses had been summoned to APP
pear, the grand jurymen on next
"Wednesday and the trial jurymen on
the 18TH pustponement means a
large amount of additional work for
the sherfff's Office. which must notify
all of the jurors of the change OF
time The grand jurors will now
meet on the 18th and the trial jurors
on May 20.

MORE FRAUDS
CHARGED UP
IN UTAH
Fraudulent Entries are
Alleged -.RaiIroads In
volved in Reported r.
regular Transactions

WASHINGTON. April 29.-The
interstate commerce commission to-
day forwarded to the senate reports
of investigations made by its agents
regarding discrimination of railroads
in transporting coal in the states Of
Colorado. Utah and Nebraska.
The conclusion is drawn that the
Utah Fuel Co. and the Pleasant VAL
ley Coal Co. of Utah, both controlled
by the Denver & Rio Grande Railway
Co. of the Gould system, have secur-
ed large tracts of land by securing
the REIMBURSEMENT or persons who
have entered the lands for small
sums, generally ranging from $50 to
$3.50. Many of these entryinen are
said to be young women who do not
appreciate the offense they are COM
mitting in allowing themselves to be
thus used.
1t Is charged that the Pleasant VAL
ley Co. has acquired 10000 acres OF
land. and it is asserted that the ac-
QUESTION of much of it has been at
tended by fraud and perjury It Is
asserted that the Rio Grande rail-
road system has granted special rates
to these companies. The Colorado
Fuel & Iron Co. has received special
rates from a railroad company which
is controlled by IT. This company.
the report states, has declared no div
idends in recent years. hut it is sug-
gested that "a different method of
bookkeeping would show substantial
earnings"
1t is charged in the Oklahoma re
port that exorbitant prices are charg-
ed to domestic consumers by the
leasers of the miIes; most of the
railroads mine coal for their own
/ purpose.
Speaking of the coal mined along
! the Union Pacific in Nebraska and
Wyoming, II is found thar while the
officials of that roau are not direct
| ly interested in the nitlr- that COM
rany does absolutely dominate the
mining transportation and sale of
coal along its line. 1t is also charg-
ed that the company resorts to varf-
Gus methods to prevent the opening
of new mines along its route, and the
conclusion is drawn that if the pub
lie coal lands should be withdrawn
the effect would be to intensity and
perpetuate the company's monopoly.

MADE THINGS LIVELY FOR
THE GROOM BY ARREST
Hall Torn from Bride, Handcuffed and Hustled to
Trial by Crowd on Alleged Bieamy Charge

Charged with bigamy, II. D. Tex
Hall. the popular city councilman.
was taken from the home of M. F..
Rickard yesterday afternoon shortly
after being joined in marriage with
Miss Lillian M. Ellis, by a party of
his friends and after being paraded
up and down Aultman street, was
taken to the court house where a
mock trial was had, resulting in his
being found guilty and fined a barrel
of beer The trial was one of the
most amusing ever perpetrated here.
For several days rumor had 1t that
the marriage was to take place the
latetr part of this week but it was
consistently denied by both the con-
tracing parties. When Mr.. Hall Sc
cured a marriage license yesterday
morning, however, the news was
passed from one to another until
shortly. although he was blissfully
unaware, everyone In town knew that
he was to wed.
At O'Clock the ceremony was
held at the residence of M. +. Rick
ard on Murry street with Constable
Tom Wilson as best man and Mrs.
Hussey as bridesmaid. Justice of the
Peace A. J. Cartwright conducted the
service. Attendance was limited to
the immediate members of the fam
lily and a few friends.
Hardly had the words of the mar
riage ceremony been spoken when a
party OF Indignantly citizens burst
into the house and without ado
placed Mr.. Hall under arrest, a pair
of handouts being placed on his
wrists to insure his going along
peacefully. With a small boy in the
rear beating large tin can, the pro-
cession started for the court house
to have trial. Upon arrival. Mayor
Clark, acting as Judge, the charge
was read to the prisoner after war
rant had been served on him by Mar
shal Hudgens charging him with big
amy. Attorney Jurich acted for the
defense, while District Attorney Eddy
prosecuted with might and main.
A jury being insisted upon by the
defense Messrs. Taylor, Aiken, Hulse.
Whiteley and Owen we're empaneled.
Evidence of the former marriage was
raked up and much fun had during
the trial, some of the testimony be-
ing extremely laughable. The best
evidence offered was that of the
prisoners in the Jail. who sent in a
statement that they were examining
his record preparatory to allowing
him to enter their domain. telling
him the presents he would have to
make each before he would be eligi-
BILE to membership In their class. The
| jury returning a verdict of guilty
in the highest degree" and recon-
mending that the court show no mer-
cy, Hall was blindfolded and after
being taken TO the dressing room of
the Eagles ball team, received SEN
tence. He promptly paid his fine,
when to make up for the treatment
they had given him his .tormentors
secured the best carriage in the city
and took him home in style.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall will reside at
the residence of the groom on upper
Murry street. where they will shortly
| be at home to their friends. Both
have host of friends who wish them
a long and happy married life.

MendenhaII Goes to
Important New
Position

Announcement was made last even
ing by b. w Mendenhall that resig-
nation placed by him early in the
month as manager of the Ely Light
& Power Co. would become effective
today, when he will turn over the
affairs of his Office to Fl. b. Retledge,
who arrived yesterday from Spokane,
Washington.
Mr.. Mendenhall will probably leave
tomorrow for Salt Lake City, where
he goes to the important position of
commercial agent with the Utah
Light & Railway Co., from the em-
ploy of which company he came to
44y City year ago. He returns to
the Utah company to enter upon
more responsible duties than those
which he had at the time of coming
to the Ely Light & Power, with which
company he has made an excellent
record.
The Utah Light and Railway con-
trolls the light, power and street rail-
way business In Salt Lake and Og-
den. The Office of commercial agent
with the company carries the dis
posal of all power of the company
for whatever purpose used. and Mr..
Mendenhall will therefore in his new
position divide his time between Salt
Lake and Ogden. While his depart
ure from this district is matter of
regret with the friends he has made.
his advancement is nevertheless oc-
casion for pleasure on their par.
Mrs Mendenhall left some days ago
for Salt Lake, the home of her pa
rents. her departure being fastened
by illness.
Mr.. Rutledge, who succeeds Mr.
Mendenhall as manager of the Ely
Light & Power Co.. has been with
the General Electric Co. on the coast
for several years and comes to the
city highly spoken of as a capable
operator of power plants.

Since the school is running so nicely and so satisfactory. about the wisest and best thing that can be done IS to re-elect the two directors whose terms expire on the 18th of this month, at which time their successors are to be elected. There is a great deal of work to be done in the way of building-an additional building for the white school and a build ing for the colored school.
 The present board has negot- lated a loan and will soon begin the erection of these buildings, and it is not ordinariallly a very good idea to swap horses in the middle of the creek.

A TRIBUTE TO MY TEACHER
Prof, 0. l.. Dunaway, the su

Prof. o. L. Dunaway, the sub- ject of this sketch, was elected superintendent of the Prescott schools five years ago. Since that time, by an untiring effort that knows no failure, he has lifted our school from the dis organized state in which he found it, and, today, it ranks as second to none in the southwest, being accredited with the State University, Ouachita and Hen drix.
 He has created great enthusi- asm among both pupils and pat rons for school improvement that has borne lasting results. To him we are indebted for our splendid library, adapted to the use of all the grades in school. In the Literary Society each member has made marked pro- gress and the close of school wit messed a declamating and de- batting contest sor medals offered by ten prominent men of our town. Guided by his direction the pupils of the High school elected representatives for the Reclamation contest held at Lit tie Rock, on April 3 and 4, 1908, at which our school won the boys sourth prize. Under his leadership the ladies of Prescott organized a School Improve ment Association" in which the patrons cooperate with teachers and pupils for upbuilding of the school.
 In the school room Prof. Dun away has no superior earnest, faithful and conscientious in the performance of every duty, his example inspires willing and cheerful obedience; firm but not arbitrary in his decisions, he readily wins the confidence and esteem of every pupil; sublime in his devotion to the profession he has chosen for life, he, as a tact full instructor, brings out the brightest and best in each student.
 Being a consistent Christian, he has held up before his pupils, both in precept and example, the ighest moral principles. Neither time nor effort has been spared to teach the boys and girls the importance of forming correct habits. and future years alone can reveal the happy results of the influence this, the noblest character ever engaged in educa- tional work, has exercised upon his pupils.
 He's the idol of the school room,
 And beloved by all the town;
 Always on the side of truth and right,
 Our hero has been found.
 When he overcomes the difficulties,
 On the rugged path he's trod,
 He'll then be made a piller,
 In the temple of his God.
