Death Of Joseph e. bearing.

Joseph Emerson Dearing died at the
sanatorium in Randolph Monday after
noon, April, 6 1908.
In the death of Mr.. bearing, Bethel
loses a lifelong and much respected citi-
zen. He was born in Bethel Dec. 81,
1920, the son OF Joseph and Rebecca
(Taggart) bearing, and OF the family of
ten children be is survived by only one
sister, Mrs. Lucinda Dyke, of Braintree.
Every year of his life had been spent in
Bethel and the past So years on the farm
which he owned.
March 2, 1912, be married Caroline C..
Townsend, who died July 8, 1906. Their
"a years of married life brought them
four sons, all of whom are living-Aibert
and Joseph on the home farm; George
and Frank in Randolph.
Last July Mr.. bearing fell, fracturing
his hip, and since that time has been
practically helpless. To a man with the
amount of energy which he possessed, it
Yves a great misfortune. However, an ex-
cellent memory and good eye-sight in the
last months of his life helped to pass the
tedious hours of his confinement, though
he often expressed himself as tired of be-
ing waited upon and ready to join his life
companion in the Great Beyond.
Funeral services were held at the home

DERKUM CRITICISED
BY MOTORCYCLE FANS
TREATMENT OF THOR PEOPLE
MUCH DEBATED
Famous Rider Says Wheel Was Not
Working Properly, but Experts
Refer to Recent Races
at Ascot

Quite a little discussion among mo-
torcycle fans has been INDUCED in dur
ing the past week about the way in
which Paul Derkum is said to have
thrown down the Thor motorcycle.
He has been severely criticised by
many and strongly supported by some
but the consensus of opinion seems 10
be that he should have ridden the big
seven-power machine and let the pub
lie do its own judging as. to whether
it was in condition and fast or not.
1.-THE big machine had been missing
and l could not get the speed out. of
it that wanted" said Derkum in de-
Tending himself to a Herald reporter
land with my reputation l could not
afford to make the attempt on wheel
that was in my class"
According to Derkums own state-
ment he was ready to ride Freddie
Ruycks machine if ii had not met with
an accident. AS an excuse for chang
ing mounts he makes the claim that Nc
great effort was made by the Thor
camp to get the wheel working proper
ly, which, he says could have been
done by readjusting the carburretor.
Several of the boys who are looked
upon as experts in motorcycle adjust
ing and building say they are morally
certain that the machine would have
made it possible for Derkum to have
easily lowered the 100-mile record #
ne had gone after it conscientiously.
It was proposed to send the machine
out to the track with another rider,
leaving it in the same condition as it
was, and attempt to lower the record,
but the rain prevented. This may be
done when the track dries out. 1t
would be simple justice to the Thor and
to j. Arthur Scott, who backed the
financial end of the meet for Derkum
and is thought by a large number of
the fans to have been thrown down
without cause.
Quick Time Made
As an evidence that the machine
that Derkum rode was faster than the
showing made by him indicated it is
pointed out that the wheel turned the
first mile of the ten-mile exhibition in
less than a minute, and then was slowed
down until the total time was twenty
seven seconds slower than the time
made in the ten-mile race for doubles
by an amateur.
An interesting sidelight on one Of
the races is visible in the fact that
there was a reversal of form between
a Thor and an Indian in the stock
double class.
A few weeks ago the Indian beat
the Thor at Santa Monica in a race
on the Palisades, but there was a sus-
picion that the race was pulled for
the Indian. At Ascot the same Thor
beat the same Indian easily when Sey-
mour trailed Ruyck for three miles
and spurted past him like a flash at
the finish.
Seymour's riding on that day was a
big surprose, even to those who We're
expecting great things from him, and
he seems to be able to keep his head
level with victory perched upon it,
which is more than some of the older
riders have been able to do.
The next race meet is being anXiously
awaited, as each is productive of con-
ditions that it takes another contest
to change.

the car. A speedometer gear attached
directly to the driving shaft keeps the
hand steady and makes it easy to read
the rate of speed.
No great difference has been made in
the 1909 models. An addition of four
inches to the wheel base makes the car
ride easier and allows of more room in
the tonneau.
The car is equipped with the Atwater

WILLING TO

Local Company Would
Join Issues With
Postrl Company.

J. F. Adams, president OF the Con
solidated Nevada Telephone and Tele
graph company which company was
reported to be ready to consolidate
with the Postal Telegraph company
says that the report is in error to
the extent that it is not his company
but the Southern Nevada Consolidat-

biz alton with the Mackay outfit.
In speaking of the matter Mr..
Adams stated that should a PROPOSE
tion Of this kind be presented to his
company it would be considered as
he believs that combine OF this sort
would be to a mutual advantage of
not only the companies tut to the
public as well as it would mean a re-
duction in the charge of long distance
telephOning and a much better SER

WANT TO
ABOLISH TAX
On Output Of Mines in
Nevada. LEGISLATURE
May Decide.

TONOPAH. November 17.-Ceruain
papers of the State, backed by mine
owners and mining promoters, are
advancing the argument that the
State Bullion Tax Law should be re-
pealed at the coming session of the
Nevada Legislature. The argument
that is put up is that Nevada is the
only State in the Union having such
law and that it is unjust and tends
to keep down the mining industry.
The State Treasury receives a large
sum yearly from the bullion tax and
those in favor of the law state that
it is the only way of making the mine
owners pay to the State their just
share of taxation. It is believed that
any attempt to have the law repealed
Will be vigorously opposed.
