Two Judicial Candidates
/
From E|kO Visit PiOChe

There has not been much stir in
the political arena this week and the
lull is likely to continue until after
the primary election. Then the stage
will be set and the real fireworks Of
the campaign will begin. Two of the
republican candidates for district
judge, both from Elko county e.
j. l.. Taber and Otto Williams-were
here getting acquainted. The repub-
lican nomination lies between them
aad Judge Thomas of Las Vegas
and all three are confident of
success at the polls. But it makes
no matter which one of the three
gets the nomination, our fellow towns
man, Charles Lee Horsey, will know
that he has been to the races when
the votes are counted and the results
are known following the November
election. Charles realizes this. too,
but is endeayoring to keep a stiff
upper lip. He has been unable to
remove that opposition to him among
Clark county democrats, who have
just about as much use for him as
cat has for two tails. OF course,
the Clark county democratic leaders
are giving him support; but it is it
luke warm to say the least.
The Clark county papers have had
but little to say about the candida
! cy of the Phoebe LAWYER editor, and
that is disappointing.

Gain UnSaV0Iy
NOteriety In Salt Lake

A well known Phoebe pair gained
considerable noteriety in Salt Lake po
lice circles last week Frank Collier,
or Happy as he was known here
landed In Jail along with Rose Fos-
ter, who rode the brake beams with
her pal to Utah's capital dressed in
mems clothes.
Happy" spent six MONTHS or more,
in the county jail here having been
sent up from Justice Maynard's court
at Caliente accused of the crime of
attempted Jail breaking. The grand
jury investigated the case during the
last term of the district court, but
refused to return an indictment
wehereupon Happy was given his
freedom. Collier is a. pronounced
dope" fiend and otherwise con-
firmed moral leper. The Foster girl
also bears an unsavory reputation and
for a number of years her social de-
pravity has been well known to all
Phoebe people.
Notwithstanding that relatives i'm
portuned her to lead better life,
and continued to lead a career OF

NEVADA Con.
MAKES A fine
CASH EXHIBIT

The quarterly report of the Nevada
Consolidated Copper company has
Just been filed with the county as
SCISSOR of White Pine county as re-
uired by the state bullion tax law.
The report shows that during the
quarted ending June 30, 1910, the Ne
vada Consolidated company extracted
6,O45 tons of ore of Eoss value
of $2,134,114.21. After deducting all
costs of extraction, transportation and
reduction, the net yield for the quar-
ter was $428,12447. On this amount,
the company will pay bullion tax
Of $3.50 on the hundred, amounting
to $7,706.65.
During the quarter ending June
30. 1909, the Nevada Consolidated ex-
tracted 2S8, ,174 tons Of ore OF gross
value Of 1,155,553.2S,. from which
there was q net yield of $310,919 SS.
A comparison of the above figures
shows that while the gross tonna ge
for the last quarter was more than
twice that of the corresponding quar-.
ter of last year, the net yield has not
increased anything like the same pro-
portion. The difference is no doubt
due to the present low price Of cop.
per. A year ago last June the price
Of the red metal was averaging about
13 1-2 cents while the report to the

at Phoebe was becoming more disa-
greeable, they decided to run away
After the girl had dressed as
man, utting short her hair, they left
Phoebe on the night of July 26th and
walked to Panaca, a distance of 12
miles.
Here they swung under freight
train and rode the rods as far as
Caliente. At Caliente they were
thrown off the train and after wait
ing for sometime they got into a
box car and rode as far as Milford.
Between these two stations a
brakeman found them in the car and
threatened to throw them off unless
he was given piece of pocket mono
Collier had 81, which he gave the
brakeman, and they rode In safety to
Milford. At Milford they were again
compelled to leave the train and af-
ter waiting for sometime they caught
blind baggage and rode into Salt
Lake.
The clothes which the woman wore
were given to Collier by fellow pris
oner at Phoebe. They consisted of a
pair OF trousers, sailor hat, a
white shirt, collar and tie, and a
oat and large pair of shoes When
this city was reached, Collier told
the girl that this was as far as they
could go for sometime, and attempt
ed To- make her hustle on the stree,
to get something to eat This she re
fused to do, SO Collier went from
house to house begging. The girls
clothing, which she had brought all
the way from Phoebe, was hidden un-
der bridge near Sixth West and
Ninth South streets.
Wednesday night, after she had
repeatedly refused, Collier told the
girl If she did not go out on the
street he would brain her. Becom
ing frightened. the young girl told
her troubles to some of the other
hobos with whom she had been sleep
ing in box cars. One of the gang tel
ephoned the information to the DO
lice station. A search was started
for the two Wednesday night, which
however, was unsuccessful Thursday
night one of the gang again tele
phoned the police and told where
the two could be found.
when the police arrived at the
, designated place they found the
young woman and her pal lying il

Much pleased, the gentleman bought

Of puppies have you today?" He
glanced into the basket and saw that
they were from the same lot as that

piled promptly.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
IN THE FIRE ZONE.
TOWNS NOW OUT OF DANGER
AND FIRES WILL DIE FROM
LACK OF FUEL.
Neighborhood of Two Hundred, Most
OF Victims Being Fire Fighters
Drafted Into Service.

Spokane, Wash.--It is believed that
more than 200 persons, nearly all fire
fighters. persisted in the Idaho forest
fires. Superintendent Weigle of the
Occur d'Alene national forest after
receiving many reports Of disaster to
various parties of his 600 employees
posted a bulletin on Wednesday in his
office at Wallace announcing the death
OF 1lS of the men, and also stated his
grave concern for the safety of Ranger
Joseph B. Hahn and seventy four men,
who were surrounded by fire Saturday
night In the forest on the Big Fork OF
the Occur d'Alene river, near where
another party lost thirteen men.
The charred bodies of twenty fire
fighters were found Wednesday upon
Setser creek, in the st. Joe country.
Two burned Japanese dragged them,
selves to Avery, Idaho, Wednesday
night and told of the death of ten OF
their comrades. The twelve men, en-
ployees of the Milwaukee railroad,
had gone out to fight the fire and had
been surrounded by flames, only two
men escaping death.
Another death Is reported from Mon.
tana, making the known total for that
state two.
The number OF deaths in the state
OF Washington Is reduced to three.
all in the Pend Oreille valley. near
Newport. One of these victims, Mrs
Ernest Deinhardt, wife of a rancher.
was the only woman known to have
been burned to death in any of the
fires.
1t will be noted that nearly all OF
the dead were fire fighters.
With the towns out of danger, and
the settlers fled to places of safety,
the rangers are now able to devote
themselves entirely to the saving OF
the trees, and with effect. Various
fires were isolated, and will die for
lack of fuel. In Montana rain and
snow fell, checking the flames.
No one ventures to estimates the
financial loss. for the extent of the
burned area Is not fully known A
pine tree centuries old has value
beyond that of the lumber it contains,
and the national forests have lost

sessed.
Although for convenience all the
government fire fighters have been
spoken of as rangers, only few OF
them are regularly In the forest ser.
vice, a great number having been sent
to the fire line by employment agen.
cles in Spokane, who advertised for
them in the usual way upon the agency
