MANIA FOR
WALKING RESULTS
In ARREST

Mrs. Jessie Fenton who, several
weeks ago, was arrested at Manhat-
tan and was brought here and exam
ined as to her sanity, has again
fallen into the hands of the police.
Several days ago she was picked UP
about eight miles from Reno when
she was walking to a distant town.
Sheriff Ferrel brought her back to
the Reno jail, and since then she
has refused to eat Yesterday she
was examined by sanity board,
but was not adiudged insane. Her
actions will be watched for several
days, when the board will hold a
second examination.
While Mrs. Fenton was confined
in the county Jail here awaiting the
examination of the insanity experts,
she refused to eat and tasted for
several days. She seems to have a
mania for wandering, and when
taken in custody at Manhattan, she
had just completed a walk from
Round Mountain. Her appearance
is contrary to that of an insane per-
son and the woman answers ques-
tons propounded by the insanity
commission in an intelligent man
er. When released she was fur
nished a ticket to Reno, as she was
without funds and evinced a desire
to return to that town, which she
claimed as her home.
For results try the Bonanza.

NAMESAKE OF
BATTLING Nelson
IS in TROUBLE
SWATS UNSUSPECTING CHINK
OVER BROW WITH
OIL CAN

Walter Nelson who disclaims re-
lationship to the Battler, spent an
interesting half hour in Judge At
kinson's court yesterday morning.
The namesake of the illustrious
pugilist had engaged in a controver-
sy with a Chink Thursday night,
and in the argument that followed
had smitten the son of the Flowery
Kingdom over the south side of the
dome with an oil can.
Sam Lee appeared as the COM
planning witness in the case, but
owing to the absence of an inter
prefer several mouthfuls of his evil
dence did not go down on the rec
ords. He made it plain, however
that Nelson had attacked him, and
exhibited a badly bruised eye as
evidence of the assault. The only
reason he could give for the attack
was that of robbery.
The court at the conclusion of
the case found Nelson guilty and
sentenced him to pay a fine of SIS
and costs. In default of payment
the prisoner was given a 50-day
membership in the order of the
Great and Only Chain Gang He
will be real useful in repairing the
streets.
Nelson is the person who found
gold watch fob lost by George Fo-
ley of Round Mountain. When Ed
Malley went to redeem the property
he was told by Nelson that a party
/ had claimed it several hours prev
ious. 1t is thought that he sold
| the fob, and if ANYBODY has it, they
will be paid a reward of S. by re
turning the gold piece to Chief Nal
ley's office.

HIdH GRADE ORE
ENCOUNTERED IN
COOPER LEASE
PARTY OF TONOPAH MEN SPEND
DAY VISITING ELLEN
DALE DISTRICT

Tom w. Kendall, Billy Douglass
and Ross Congdon went out to Ell
lendale yesterday morning and af-
ter spending the day in the camp,
returned last evening. All three
gentlemen were greatly enthused
over the appearance of the district
and were firm in their belief that
the camp will be one of the great
est shippers in the outlying Sec
tons.
Not only is the main strike i'm
proving, but several of the other
leases are rapidly coming into the
money said Mr.. Kendall after his
return.
THE Nagle-Cooper lease is the
one which the people of the camp
are watching with particular inter-
est The operators recently en-
countered a pay streak, and the de-
velopment. as exposed yesterday,
showed fully 16 inches of high
grade ore. The find was made in
a 10-foot winze that was sunk on
the crosscut sent out from the 65-
foot shaft. This ledge pans freely
and as a conservative estimate,
would Judge that the rock will go
between $3.50 and $500 to the ton.
The vein appears to run toward
the main strike, and it is my be-
lief that future work will prove it
to be an extension of the big ledge
that has already produced a for
tune.
THE Cooper-Nagle lease is re
garded as the best in the camp, out
side of the Clifford and Nay re-
served section. After the shaft was
sunk to the 65-foot point, little
prospecting was INDUCED in ant
then the operations were concentrat
ed in the running of a tunnel tt
tap the mountain side in order tina
an exit could be effected, as this
would greatly lessen the work o
handling the dirt. In running thi
tunnel, a ledge was cut that show
a width of about 80 feet. This will
assay anywhere from SIS to $50 t.
the ton. No work is being done OF
this as present as the sinking o
the Wine will be continued in orde
to more fully open up the hig'
grade ledge.
Several parties are trying to SC
cure the Bowler lease, as prospect
ing has resulted in a number G
fine showings being exposed"

PERMISSION TO
ADOPT CHILD
JOHN A. AND ALTHA KENNEDY
ASK GUARDIANSHIP OF
INFANT GIRL

An eight months old girl was
the subject of an interesting but
brief case in the district court yes
terday. The child, Altha Kennedy,
was the daughter of Frank A. and
Catherine G. Kennedy, and petit
tion had been filed by John and
Altha Kennedy, asking the courts
permission to adopt the infant.
Frank Kennedy, the father and
husband, deserted his family over
a year ago and since that date has
not contributed in any way to their
support. The mother was willing
that her child should be taken into
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Kennedy.
Judge Averill, after hearing the
petition read, legalized the adoption,
by giving the consent of the court.
The petitioners were represented by
Judge ]. A. Saunders.

Both Aviation and Aeronautic Contests
Will Be Held Here Next Year.
In winning the fourth international
balloon race. after the victory of Glenn
81. Curtiss at Rheims. Edgar w. Mix
brings the cup to this country for the
second time and gives to the United
States next year both the aviation and
aeronautic contests.
The first international balloon con-
test, which started from Paris Sept.

Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm. who had
as his aid Major Henry 8. Hersey.
The contest for 1907 was held in st.
Louis and was won by Oscar Erbsloh
of Germany in the balloon Pommern.
His balloon landed within few yards
of the Atlantic ocean. on the New Jer-
sey coast. and less than one mile from
that spot landed the balloon Lille de
France. with NJ. Alfred Leblanc pilot
and Mr.. Mix as his aid.
In that trip new worlds duration
record OF. forty-four hours was estab-
lished and stood until broken the fol-
lowing year by Colonel Schaeck. who
remained in the air seventy-three
hours in his trip from Berlin to the
coast of Norway, where he landed in
the sea.
Mr.. Mix. while an American citizen.
has spent many years in Paris, where
he is engaged in business. He is a
member both of the Aero Club of
France and the Aero Club of America
and has represented both countries in
the international contests. He was
born and reared in Ohio. and during
the race from st. Louis in 1907 his
balloon passed over his native place
just after sunrise on the morning Of Oct
%. 1t was the first time he had seen
the place in twenty years, and as the
balloon sailed along he looked down
and called out to. several old neighbors
and told them who he was.

Declaring that forty times a day is
more kissing than a woman can stand,
the police judge of Bluefeld. w. Va.

and his wife seek separation. Schnei-
der first had his wife arrested because
she allowed him only twenty kisses a
day when for years he said he was
getting forty.
Later Mrs. Schneider had Schneider
in court. charging that he threatened
to kill her when she refused to allow
him the forty kisses. The court dis
missed the case after advising the cou-
pie to break away for good.

TESTING THE TEAc CHER.
\ Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1922.

boston III If([s q
In the town records Of the city Of
Boston there is curious passage
which records how schoolmaster was
examined and what happened The
manner in which the visit of inspection
Is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
If he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of May.
1922, it is set forth that:

THE BLUE WHALE.
4 Monster Skeleton That Is Eighty
seven Feet In Length.

seven Feet In Length.
What is claimed as the largest ami
NAL in the world is represented by a
colossal skeleton in the museum of
Christchurch. New Zealand, says the
London Globe This is the remains of
large specimen of the blue whale
stranded on the coast of that country
This whale is probably the largest Of
all living animals The length of the
skeleton is eighty-seven feet, and the
head alone is twenty-one feet. The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
it's name of blue whale from the dark
blush gray of its upper surface. The
tinge of yellow on it's lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom by
which it is known on the western side
of the Atlantic 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera sib-
baldiD.
The chief food of this gigantic ami
NAL is a small marine crustacean
Nhysanopoda inermis), known to the
whales as ''kril' Another species of
the same shrimplike group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs of mackerel caught on the Corn
ish coast. The nearly related opossum
shrimps found in enormous numbers
in the Greenland seas form the chief
food of. the common whale. Some of
the thysanopodae are phosphorescent
and contribute to the luminosity of the
