THE EAGLES WERE THERE
Happy Little Evening Given by the
White Pine Aerie, and n Most
Enjoyable Time Is Had.

The Eagles were there with the
goods on last Tuesday night. when
White Pine Aerie gave a smoker to
themselves and friends. The result
was a most enjoyable night, and the
entertainment was all that could be
prayed for. Pipes were lighted and
the Eagles gathered around the
camp fire at l-Shallenberger
hall. When the pipes were. good
and strong. Worthy rresident John
Weber introduced James S. Ben
nett as master of ceremonies and
Brother James did himself and the
rest of the hosts proud.
Attorney Charles A. Walker was
hailed from the smoke and made
nice little talk as he always does on
these kind of occasions. A four
round boxing contest between
Blocky Price and Tom Geraghty fol-
lowed with nobody hurt; at least. it
was so decided by Joe Clark the
referee Later there was similar
go between Henry Estey and the
Young Cyclone, the Cyclone proving
too heavy for the Estey boy.
Short talks were INDUCED in. and
several musical selections were
rendered by Happy Hope. r. A.

A. Grant Miller of Reno. who will

of the evening and was prepared by

CLARK WINS ON A FOUL
IN A DIRTY ROTTEN FIGHT
FOuIest Tactics ResOrted to Which Have Ever Been
Seen in a Ring by Kid Allard and When Clark
Had Him at His Mercy He Let Him Go at the
End of the Fourth Round

Who ever told Kid Allard that he
was a fighter from a fair standpoint
must have given him the wrong
hunch. Allard is good barroom
fighter; good kicker, gouger and
a bitter; but when ii comes to putting
up a fight in the ring. with the rules
of the Marquis of Queensberry to
guide him, there isjno class to the pug
from Butte. If he and Joe Clark
were to be put in room by them
selves, from the performance of last
night, If Clark accepted the same
foul tactics which were used by the
lad from Montana, there would be
nothing to the fight but Clark.
This boy from Butte fought foul
from the strike of the gong until the
finish. 1t is all very we'll to make
a fight of that iknd in some places,
but 1t isn't the right kind of fight
to put up in the inside of a ring
He fouled Clark at the end of the
second round, and there was the
only kick that might be suggested
against Mickey Breen, the referee.
1t was at that stage of the game that
the referee should have declared the
fight in favor of Clark. but the latter
was too game to have the fight go
that way, and he let the man from
Butte bore into him. Clark fought
gamely. and he fought well, but
Notwithstanding that, Mr.. Referee
should have awarded the fight in that
second round.
Clark felt that he could whip the
man from Butte. and he signalled to
the referee to go ahead with the
fight; so Breen let II go that way.
II was a bitter rasping fight; it
wasn't boxing contest. Clark
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1911-09-03

felt sore that he had been done in
the first few rounds, and he wanted
to lick this man from Butte. and
wanted to lick him good. And he
would have licked him, and he
not been for the foul tactics which
Allard carried out. Clark had the
Butte man absolutely at his mercy in
the fourth round, and why he didn't
put the finishing touches to him,
nobody but Clark has been able to
fathom but he let him go when
everybody at the ringside was GER
tain that the boy from Ely was 60
ing to put In the last punch.
That was Clark's fault, and that
was Clark's mistake. Clark was too
generous a fighter, and too decent
an opponent. He should have fought
Allard at his own game and there
would have been a different story to
tell. II he had done that, he would
have knocked Allard clean out of the
ring. and both men did go out of
the ropes in that fourth round, and
they both came back fighting. II
will have to be handed to Allard that
he is fighting machine; but he will
also have to take this, that he is the
most unfair fighter who has ever
stepped into ring In this district.
He fought foul from the first time
he put up his dukes against Clark,
until Clark finally slipped to the
floor in the fifth round and he jump
ed on him with both feet. What AL
lard hoped to win by thfs coup, no.
body but himself can guess. He
didn't win anything for Referee
Breen decided the contest against
him. and there wasn't anybody at the

State Mine Inspector Ryan and
Assistants Are Probing For
the Cause of the Fire
BODY OF DAN DRACE IS FOUND
REMAINS ARE RECOVERED
FIFTEEN FEET FROM THE
TOP, HAVING DOUBTLESS
FALLEN FROM THE CAGE.

State Mine Inspector Ryan has be-
gun his investigation into the cause
of the fire in the Giroux shaft. The
seals were removed from the big shaft
on Thursday, and fifteen feet from
the top the body of Dan Drae was
found caught in the timbers. The
position of the body would indicate
that Drae had been overcome on the
trip of the cage, and fell from 1t,
finding immediate death. On the
night of the fire when the cage
reached the top all the occupants
were lying down on the bottom.
Another story to account for the
unfortunate mans appearance so
near the top is that he might have
gone up on the wooden cage, which
Is smaller than the steel structure.
and which was at the bottom of the
shaft when the danger signal was
given. Drea may have got that
close to the top after passing
through the gases and smoke and
then been overcome by the rush of
fresh air in upon him. When the
shaft was opened on Thursday morn
ing the air which escaped was hot
and sitting, and some little time was
given for circulation. The cages
were lowered, and the first men to
go down were Tom McNally and
Paddy McGuinn. They saw the
body wedged in the timbers and re-
turned to the surface for canvas In
which to place the remains.
Since that time it has been slow
work in the shaft, for the reason
that Mr.. Ryan and his assistants
have to proceed with the utmost
caution. Yesterday morning they
had succeeded in getting down as
low as 790 feet. At this point they
got into the burned area of the shaft.
and were compelled to return to the
surface for tagging. The tagging
had been pretty well burned out, but
the big timbers, although charred
were standing. How far down this
condition extends cannot be learned
at this time; and only can be learned
as the way is cleared below for the
cages.
Nothing has yet been seen of the
body of John McNulty and the i'm
preston is that 1t is lying in the
sump below the 1,400-foot level.
The coroner's jury has not yet starr
ed its inquest. 1t Is subject to the
call of the coroner, and has met
several times on matters of detail
1t was called together again to view
the remains of Drae; and has viewed
the remains of the other miners.
The inquest cannot be commenced
until Mr.. Ryan has finished his in
vestigation in the mine. When this
will be is matter of conjecture
1t will be a slow process, but will be
thorough.
