DIES FROM
BURNS RECEIVED
ten DAYS Ago
o. S. AVERY PASSES AWAY AT
MINERS HOSPITAL THIS
MORNING

After suffering for about ten days
from burns received when his sec
ond hand store on lower Main street
was destroyed by fire, o. S. Avery
died at the Miners hospital at
10:30 o'clock this morning. Last
night his condition grew worse and
it became apparent that the injured
man would not survive very long.
Avery was about II years of age
and had resided in Tonopah nearly
six years. He was a native of Mas
sachusetts. He is survived by a
wife, from whom he was separated
and son, both residing in Denver
A sister resides in Streator, Illinois
The son has been notified of the
death and no arrangements for the
funeral will be made until an an
swer has been received.
The remains were removed to the
Undertaking parlors of Wonacott
Hall.

NEVADANS ARE
CAUSE |OF TROUBLE
IN Los ANGELES
MAKE DICE OUT OF SUGAR
CUBES TO SHAKE FOR
THE DINNER

The laws of California against
gambling in all it's phases are now
being rigidly enforced, causing sur
prises and disagreeable incidents.
Last week a certain Nevada min
ing engineer was in the City of the
Angels, and at the close of re-
past at prominent cafe, took a
cube of sugar and with pencil
marked it SO as to fashion dice.
Then with gentleman companion
at table, shook little game of dice
to decide who should pay for the
dinner. Soon thereafter they de-
parted, leaving the sugar dice.
This was evidently tossed back
into the sugar bowl by the
waiter. Two gentlemen, accom-
panied Sby ladies, arrived and occu-
pied the same table recently vacat-
ed. They noticed the sugar dice
and threw game to see who wouIt
pay for the dinner. When the vic
tim paid the score, both gentlemen
were arrested for gambling by
"plain clothes detectives. They
were hailed into court, where the
matter was explained, but the judge
had no alternative; the law was
violated and he was forced to in
fict a nominal fine of 81 each.
The prosecuting attorney of Lot
Angeles has not yet decided whether
or not he will yank the Nevad;
mining engineer down there to an
swer to the charge of not only gam
bling, but also manufacturing gam
bling instruments.

PARIS, Oct. 12-Encouraged by
the effectiveness of the strike of the
railway employees, leaders of French
workingmen generally threaten a
gigantic move to paralyze the activ-
tiles of the whole country. The sit
uation throughout the republic is
regarded as grave. The railway
companies are making a desperate
struggle to maintain some sort of
service with the aid of military en-
gineers and men from the navy, but
are meeting with poor success. The
government has called to the colors
10000 strikers, and reservists who
fail to report for duty are liable to
Imprisonment. Extension of the
strike south and east has practically
isolated Paris. which is. threatened
with famine.

So far, acts of violence have been
confined to cutting telegraph wires
and tearing up tracks in several
places, except in one instance, when
the strikers cut the air pipes of an
express train and disastrous wreck
was narrowly averted. A freight
train was also held up and a cargo
of cattle set free. The garrison at
Paris has been reinforced by troops
from the provinces.
The strikers later held up an ex-

the engineer and fireman with re-

Premier BRAND has issued a
statement denouncing the strike as

HENS NOT STUPID.

Merely Follow Natural Instincts Left
Thorn by Their Ancestors.
Every automobilist knows that when
his car approaches hen instead Of
calmly stepping to the side Of the road
and safety in nine cases out Of ten
she runs along ahead In hyster1cal ex-
element doing what she should have
done In the first place only when COM
pletely exhausted and then only by &C.
cident apparently. Other domestic
animals have the same annoying habit,
and as It often causes their wholly
needless death. the usual explanation
of 1t is their stupidity. That fs an IN
fair criticism. for neither birds nor
animals are ever stupid-never are.
that Is. about meeting exigencies
which their ancestors were In the hab-
it Of meeting.
It is the lesson Of immemorial expe-
rience for all these creatures that from
the pursuit of an enemy that cannot
be fought there is safety If anywhere
in straightaway fight at topunost
speed. Motion in any other direction
would give the pursuer fatal advan-
tage by enabling him to ''cut corners"
and cover a shorter distance than his
selected prey. The hens mistake Is
not In running along the road. but in
assuming that the automobile wants
to catch her and will do SO If it can.
That assumption is perfectly natural
one. and every living hen is the de-
scendant of lnnumerable generations
Of hens that acted upon it exactly as
she does.-NeW York. Times.
