The fire fiend is rampantthese DAYS.
Yet when one considers how careless
the great majority are with this spedi.
est and most destructive Of the ele-
ments.. the wonder is that fires are
not even more frequent. In the
blazes of the past week or SO in differ
ent places the careless cigar stunp
has played quite a prominent part.
1t seems a little thing at the time to
attend to, but if there is a law against
throwing refuse on the street there
should be an even more stringent one
against tossing away a spark capable
Of starting an expensive fire OF en-.
dangering a human life.

Rear Admiral William P. Potter,
chief of the bureau Of navigation, in
his recommendation that the age for
admission of cadets into the Naval
academy shall be lower has the sip
port of facts that have time and again
been given serious attention. These
facts relate to the advanced age at
which officers arrive at commands in
the American navy. Before they
reach the highest grade in the serv-
ice they are about ready for retire
ment and the great majority never
have a chance to reach those grades.

OUT
The DEPARTMENT
ALL RIGHT
AND COLLINS LANGUISHES FOR
TWENTY DAYS FOR TEST
ING APPARATUS.

Jack Collins, blacksmith by
occupation, and more or less known
to local fame, began the service of
twenty days sentence in the coun-
ty bastile yesterday afternoon, and
thereby hangs tale.
Collins had for several days been
indulging more or less literally in
the drink against which the proph-
ct has warned us, and his emo
lions were more or less conflict
ing. About some things he felt
good, and about others he felt bad
and among the things about
which he felt bad was the way the
fire department was managed. He
thought it ought to get out oftener
And thinking SO, he proceeded t.
ring an alarm. This was in tht
morning.
The department responded will

And then Mr.. Collins was gentl,

bris by his companions, and hur-
riedly removed to the surface and
thence taken to the hospital. Dr.
Mapes was summoned and made an
examination, with the result that
it was found that the mans injur-
les were confined to bruises. There
were no fractures nor dislocations

GREAT WESTERN SOLD;
WILL BE REDEEMED

The Great Western mine at Horn
silver was sold last week by the
sheriff of Esmeralda county at pub
lie sale, the property being bid in
by S. H. Brady, the holder of the
judgment for SIS. 320.55. The prin-
cipal owners of the property, j. NJ.
Russell, Howard Russell and e. S.
Highley, have six months in which
to redeem, and it is understood that
already negotiations are underway
which may lead to sale of the
property at a figure considerably in
excess of the sum which it brought
under forced sale. Brady gained
his judgment on a mortgage against
the Great Western Gold Mining and
Milling company for $4,000 in May
%, 1909. Brady was formerly gen.
eral manager of the Belmont mine

IN OFFICE FOR
THIRTY DAYS
COUNTY BOARD SPENDS TIME
FIGURING STATUS OF THE
SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

Yesterday was a legal session OF
the board of county commissioners
that is, it was /. session in which
the principal business was study
of the statutes and the law. The
board was simply trying to figure
out Just where the sheriff's Office
stood with the high peace official
of the county non est.
District Attorney Baker was pres
ent as adviser and he took the
ground that under the law the
board could do nothing, so far as
declaring the Office vacant is con-
cerned, until 80 Gays had elapsed
The law gave the sheriff this much
| time in which to file a new bond,
now that his present bondsmen-
| the surety company-had served no
tice by publication that it was will
ing that someone else should act
as surety The law, section 1883
of the compiled laws, reads as fol
lows:
IF any officer OK person shall fail
within ten days from the date Of
personal service, or within thirty
days of a posted service, to file
new or additional bond or under
taking, the Office or appointment o
the person or officer so failing shall
become vacant. and such Office o
, person shall forfeit his office o
appointment, and the same shall b.
filed as in other cases of vacancy
and in manner as provided by law
+, and the person applying to be re
leased from liability on such bon
or undertaking shall not be holde
or liable thereon, after the dat
herein provided for the vacatin
v and the FORGETTING of such office 0
a appointment. Whenever, b
Il operation of this act, the function
f, of any sheriff shall become SUI;
s. pended, it shall be the duty of tn
e clerk with whom the statement {
|. hereinbefore provided shall hay
l. been filed to notify the acting core
ner of the county forthwith of sue
st suspension; and upon being SO not
1T fed, such coroner shall succeed
h all the powers and discharge all IL
ID duties of sheriff of his count
lie pending such suspension of tt

The board concurred in the di
1t trict attorneys Interpretation

20 until the July meeting of Il
in board.

around In awkward silence wondering

At least she would not give up the

CHAPTER XIX.
The Mans Failure.


At five o'clock a boat put on from
the big white cruiser, conveying the
islander, the captain, the other officers
and Langford to the shore. The woman
met them on the sand. She had dis
carded her woven tunic and was
dressed in the faded blue blouse and
skirt which she had worn when she
had left the yacht and which she had
ever since preserved with such scru-
pulous care for an emergency like this.
Well was It for her that the garments
were loose and easy-ftting, else she
could not have put them on, so splen-
didly had she developed in waist and
chest and limb. She wore stockings
and shoes, and, save for certain ma
tural elegance and freedom IN her
bearing. she looked much as any other
woman. except that few women were
as beautiful as she.
After a momentary hesitation and a
glance at the islander, who, after his
FIRST swift, comprehending survey OF
the woman, stood with ayerted head
she, conscious painfully of his every
gesture and moVement-the lieuten
ant commander performed the neces
sary introductions. This ceremony
