A ROBBERS MAKE
A BIG HAUL

A special to the Gazette on the 18th
says: The stage between Fallon and
Rawhide, bound for Rawhide, was
held up and robbed by two masked
men five miles from the lateer place
80 minutes ago. News of the robbery
was brought to town by William Bal
ley, driver. Sheriff ingalls, and a big
party of deputies left in automobiles
for the scene to take up the chase
after the bandits, who are headed
across the country, apparently bent
upon reaching the railroad and making
good their escape.
They secured the W~ells-Fargo treas
ure box, containing it is believed, a
good sum Of money consigned to the
banks and mining companies at Raw
hide.
The robbery occurred on what is
urging his horses along on the road,
when the horses rounding a curve sud-
denly anne to a stop. The next mo.
ment Bailey was looking down tn
barrels of two sawed off shot-guns held
by two heavily masked men.
"Jump out and bring the treasure
box with you,' commanded one of the
robbers, holding the bit Of one Of the
lead horses. While Bailey was doing
this the other robber walked to the
other side of the stage coach and CON
manded the passengers to get out and
stand up on one side of the road with
their hands above their heads. In
this position they were relieved of
their jewelry and money. This task
completed, the robbers commanded the
passengers to get back into the stage
and drive towards the camp.
The officers have but a slight DIES.
cription of the robbers, but it is believ-
ed their escape has been safely cut
off and that they will either be killed
or captured within the next twenty
four hours.

refused to help her and notified the
Chief of Police.
Investigation showed dthat Beatty
and the woman had been buggy rid
ing together from Sparks. Beatty was
a partner Of d. A. Walbum in the
Sparks Wall Paper and Paint COM
pany, and Mrs. Winters is known as
a resident on a ranch neal Sparks, not
in the vicinity of the English mill.
The woman was taken in charge and
the body of the dead man was taken
to the morgue, where an examination
showed that he had been shot back of
the left shoulder, the course of the
bullet evidently being downward.
The clothing was badly powder burn
ed, the bullet entering near the center
of the burned cloth.
After the woman was brought in she
was examined at the sheriff's office,
and finally admitted, according to the
police, that she had shot him.
She said that they q had q quarrei
and that he threatened 10 blow her
head off and that she thought that he
was about to do so and that she shot
him in self defense.
Chief Burke said last night that he
believed she tried to rob him and that
she shot him during the process, replac-
ing some 500 in his pockets when she
found she had killed him.
She stuck stoutly to the story that
she shot in self defense, believing that
he was about to kill her.

sixteenth annual ball last night, the
event being declared by many present
n OF the most delightful in the long
and brilliant series of cadet officers

versity gymnasium and the assembly
room furnishes an ideal setting for
such events, lending itself admirably
to decorative effects and providing am

her Of dancers on the main floor, while
the balcony is an ideal spot for OBJ

class banners and pennants of this
and other universities were used in
profusion, but with excellent taste,
and the military Announcements and
athletic paraphernalia were also in ev-
idence.
Society Booths.
The carefully arranged fraternity
and secret society booths were also a
great addition to the beauty of the
scene, the young people striving to
excel in pleasing and novel effects.
The north end of the main floor was
charmingly arranged for the receiving
party and the Bellies Lettres corner
was at the northwest. Their colors
are pale blue and white and exceed
ingly airy n pretty results were Sc
cured in those shades. Alpha Omega
sorority was located in the northeast
corner, and here the blue and pearl
gray of the society were happily COM
bined. Delta Theta Kappa (privately
known as the baby frat'') had a cosy
retreat in the southwest corner, the
menace of grinning skulls and grizzly
cross bones being amusingly belied
by the moving pictures presented be-
meath. Last, but not least, came Sig
ma Beta Phi, located in the south bal
cony, maroon and azure, the society
colors, being in evidence in d~raperies
and brilliantly colored lights.
