For the last two days it has been
confidently asserted by the platform

favor tariff adjustment instead OF

might mean the raising of some

others. In the last moment, how

The bicycle race between Tom
Hulmston, the popular conductor of
the regular between here and Cobre,
and R. P. Moore, agent of the Ne
vada Northern at Ely, was easily won
Sunday evening by Hulmston. The
contest was held on Aultman street
and was for distance of about one
quarter of a mile. Hulmston was
much the faster in making a start
and held his gain to the finish, win
ming the match by about 80 feet.
It is understood that another race
will be held by tho two riders in the
near future, as the hackers of Moore
are not yet satisfied that their ia
vorite can be bested by Hulmston
and are willing to put up their money
for another match to take place Au-
gust 16. 1t is said that at least 800
will be put up by the hackers of
Moore. They hold that had the lat
ter obtained as good start as his
competitor on Sunday evening, the
doughty captain of the Cobre
schooner would have gone down igno-
miniously in the dust of defeat.

Ball Game
Ends Heat

For seven innings as pretty and
exciting a game of baseball as has
been witnessed on the Ely City dia-
mond was played Sunday between
the Smelter aggregation and the Ely
nine, picked from the players of the
Eagles and Ely City teams. The
score at the end of the seventh in
ming stood five to three in favor of
the visitors, when. unfortunately a
dispute arose which put an end to
the game. the Smelter men refusing
to play the remaining two innings
unless their version of the argument
was conceded.
This the umpire, Jake Fulmer, re-
fused to allow and ordered the play
ers to continue the contest according
to his ruling, which to the spectators
seemed right, or forfeit the game to
Ely by the score of 8 to 0. The
Smelter boys were obdurate in their
protest and the game ended without
further play or argument.
AS in all affairs of this nature on

naught and it truly is unfortunate for
the visitors that it can be said that

of questionable ruling when they had

send such subscriptions to the Bis

The executive board was instructed
to start a vigorous campaign for
membership in every mining camp
under its jurisdiction, the campaign
to include the small companies as
we'll as the larger ones. Special in

Mr.. Stevens was shot as he was
about to board ferry boat in this

bullet passed through his abdomen
and he died on March 26 after the
most hopeful reports of his physi-

side were the Japanese consul, Cen

Mr.. Stevens, was captured on the
spot and has since been held in jail
awaiting trial.
Chang, who is diminutive Kor-

patriotic motives, believing with a
certain number of his countrymen in
this city that Mr.. Stevens had been
instrumental in giving Japan control
in Korea. He has never expressed
any regret for his act and believes
he has done his country a great SER
vice.
Ample funds for his defense have
been provided by Koreans in this
country as well as in Korea, and he
will be represented in court by able
counsel.
