BUSY TIMES
Force Of MaChiniStS Will Begin
Work In Shops Tuesday

The Los Angeles shops of the Salt
Lake road have been practically dis
manteled and the machinery formerly
contained therein is being removed to
this city, to be added to the wilderness
of strange appliances in the grert shops
here. About seventy-five of the Los
Angeles operatives will reach this city
with their families in time TO begin
work when the whistle blows Tuesday
morning. The delay which as
attended the opening OF n
shops on account of the necessity Of set
tling the wage scale and other questions
relating to the different conditions OF
labor here have been satisfactorily set
tied, and nothing now stands in the
way of running the shops to their full
capacity. As fast as men can be OBJ
tanned it is understood that the force
here will be increased to several hum
dred, in order to put in repair the great
amount OF disabled rolling stock which
has accumulated during the past few
months.
Work on the great store house is pro-
crossing rapidly. Concrete foreman
George Barrett will begin placing the
concrete for the solid reinforced con-
crete roof early in the week, and the
structure will be ready for occupancy
probably about February 1st.

Mr.. w. Woodard, who was resident
of Vegas for time five years ago, has
just completed the purchase of the
steam laundry plant on Main street
from w. B. Wilson, of the Wilson Drug
Company.
He will open the same for business
about the tenth of January. This laun-
Diary is splendidly equipped plant, and
was brought here at the beginning of
the dull season just after the wash out
on the Salt Lake road. The laundry
was operated for few days when it
closed by reason OF lack of capital and
the dullness of business.
The conditions of the town have now
changed to such an extent that the
laundry is the most needed of any en-
terprise in this city. There is large
business ready for it from the start.
We congratulate Mr.. Woodard on his
good judgment in taking hold of this
enterprise.

New Years Trap Shooting Tour
nament of 90 Birds

On the afternoon of Jan 1st, 1911, the
people of Las Vegas may be frightened
by the sound of many guns short dis
tance north of town and be led to be-
lieve that there is an uprising OF some
kind. but such is not the case. Merely
a few "gun cranks" holding their first
tournament in the Vegas valley.
Promptly at o'clock p. M, the first
squad of five shooters will face the traps
and from then until dark the shooting
will continue.
There are to be several trophys, and
a good time is assured to the indifferent
shooter as we'll as the "crack." A tro-
ply will also be awarded to the gun for
the highest run, continuous.
No contestant will be allowed to win
more than one trophy.
Interstate trap shooting rules will
govern, particular attention being called
to the following:
ga contestant may load his gun only
when at the firing point facing the traps
and shall place but one cartridge in his
gun at a time, removing it or the empty
shell before turning from the firing
point"
shooting on the grounds at any
place other than the firing points is pro-
hibited."
Shooting shall be from the 16-yard
line, at the birds from unknown traps,
thrown at unknown angles.
Squads shall be of FIVE, or less, shoot
ers, who shall shoot five shells from
each of the firing points, moving up one
point at the command of the referee,
until % shells have been fired, when the
squad shall retire for the second squad.
After each contestant has shot 25 shells,
the squads will each take the firing line
a second time and by repeating the
operation will complete the program of
of 80 birds.

A BAD BUNCH
Sheriff-EleCt Sam Gay RidS the
Town Of UndeSirableS

The deulorable conditions which have
prevailed in Vegas on account of the
heavy influx of the hobo element bound
to and from the Meadow Valley wash,
have been largely eliminated by Sheriff
elect Sam Gay during the past few
days. Seeing that, as he expressed it,
"The town was about to be carried
away" by the hobo element. Mr.. Gay
has jailed about twenty of the worst :;
given about fifty others their walking
papers out of town and has recovered
cons siderable stolen property. Last Fri
day night, Dec. %, j. NJ. Keith, well
known mining man, was set upon,
throttled and struck over the head with
a sand bag, receiving injuries which
were painful and from which he has not
yet fully recovered. He also lost about
$500 in coin which he had in his
pockets. The crime was committed
near the Palace Hotel on Second street.
When Mr.. Keith recovered conscious
ness he was still in dazed condition
and unable to give an accurate descrip-
ton of his assailants. Sam Gay ar
rested the suspected parties, however,
and they were given 80 days suspended
sentence by Judge Lillis.
Dan Martin was held up by the same
parties and in the same manner on
First street, Saturday night. The
thugs secured several dollars and a
watch on this occasion. Martin was
choked in the same manner as was
Keith, and was also hit over the jaw
with some heavy instrument, but did
not lose consciousness.
James Sweeney, the notorious penl-
Tertiary, bird who broke out of the
Boise City, Idaho, penitentiary,

at the same time, was among those
picked up by Mr.. Gay. The individual

Mrs. Margaret Peterson, so years of

injured this morning at 7:45, when she
was knocked down and run over by a
team and milk wagon at the crossing
at Fifteenth street and Fifteenth ave-
hue. Ed Yer Sluis of Rock river bot
tom, owner of the wagon, was driving
at the time of the accident. Both bones
OF Mrs. Peterson's left leg were broken
above the ankle, both bones of her
right arm were broken three inches
atcve the wrist, her left thumb was
broken, deep cut was inflicted above
the eye, aand she was otherwise bruis-
ed and scratched. The shock rendered
her unconscious, but before the arrival
of the ambulance, she had regainsd
Ter faculties. She was removed to the
Moline city hospital. Chances for her
recovery are very slight, because Of
her advanced age.
