ELECTION BETTORS
ARE IN COURT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The
trials and tribuations of election
bettors, particularly those in Ala
bama, were aired yesterday before
the supreme court of the United
States.
b. T. Collier of Gadsden won a
bet of $3.50 from Thomas L. John
son over the results of the primary
election in Elowah county, Ala
bama, in 1904. Johnson paid, but
after he died, his executors got
judgment for the recovery of the
money Because the sheriff in levy
ing to satisfy this Judgment, did
not recognize Golfers claim to ex-
emption under the Alabama laws,
Collier sued the sheriff and the ex-
ecutor for damages Collier was
awarded $500 damages and the
supreme court was called upon to
determine whether the fact that an
election bet as the basis of the
whole litigation vitiated the judg-
meit for damages.

feared contenders in the motor rae
ing game. Matson has started
work on his 50O-mile race e.
will do nothing else before the lis
eevnt but put his motor into fit
condition.
The other two entries in the 500
mile race were made by the Ideal
Motor Car company of Indianapolis,
who entered two Stutz cars, nomi-
mating Gil Anderson as the driver
of one, leaving the other pilot UNI
named. Because of the splendid
showing made by the Stutz in the
last 5OO-mile race, these two en-
tries are considered important.
That the field will be by far the
best which has ever started in any
event is assured by the fact that
$50, 600 is to be divided among the
twelve first cars to finish; the win
ner of the race to receive $4,000.
This is the richest purse that ever
has been hung up for any contest
Of the kind, and probably is far
greater than any other race course
can afford to offer. Several of the
best foreign drivers have been in
terested because of the rich r~.
and are planning to come to Amer
lea as contestants. This will be
the first great American track race
in which the foreign race drivers
have appeared in any number.
From the standpoint of the mo-
tor enthusiast the race is certain to
be .doubly interesting because of
the speed requirements. Every car
must show speed of IS miles per

OPERATIONS IN MINES OF
COMSTOCK FOR WEEK

Work in all the Comstock mines
this week is going ahead along the
usual lines, and with no occur
rences, or changes of special note
at any point reported up to last
evening. Excellent progress has
been made with the work in hand,
and an advacne recorded in the
general mining, prospecting and
plans. At the Ward
shaft interest still centers on the
2200-foots level, where water was
struck last week by the diamond
drill, while boring into the bulk

Intermittent ever since that time,
due no doubt to the fact that the
opening on the other side of the
bulkhead becomes clogged and OBJ
structed as the water passes
through Superintendent Symmes
states that the bulkhead has now
been completely drilled through, in
Guiding between II and 10 feet of
clay. This bulkhead was one of
the most extensive ones ever built
on the Comstock, and the old rec
ords show that it required six
weeks to complete. working three
shifts per day That it is being
found to be a formidable affair
therefore causes no surprise, 1t is
said that there is a Slight curve in
the old drift on the other side Of

the bulkhead, so that the drill hole
at the present location has struck
the side of the old drift and it is
therefore the intention to start an
other drill hole more to one side.
In the meantime work is being car
ried ON in the pumping association
raise in the Julia connecting drift
on the 1000 level, and the opera
tons at that point are going ahead
as rapidly as possible.
Finishing touches are still being
made to the Mexican mill at the
north end and winding the filter is
underway this week, and according
to the present outlook the big
structure should be ready for a
general test sometime next week.
The crushing department has PROV
ed itself to be in prime condition,
and with a few minor changes nee
essary, will be all ready for the
steady grind when the power is
turned on for business. In the
Mexican mine this week, timbers
are being installed on the 230f
and 2400 levels, and some ore run
out from the 2500, one shift per
day being worked.
The repairs to the Union shaft
are being made at needed points,
and it will probably be two or
three weeks before the shaft "
be pronounced in first-class condi-

livered on time f. Corp, the man
from Hutchinson who is active in
promoting the road, did not ar
rive until midnight and nothing
was done until Thursday morn
ing except to try to make the.
time pass more pleasantly for
the visitors. An auto ride was
taken through the artesian val
ley, and visits made to the light
and water plants. Won Prosky's
band came out in full force and
entertained the visitors with one
of the best concerts they have
ever given. Compliments were
showered on them from every
side. The sentiment expressed
by the people from afar was
unanimous in that Meade should
certainly be proud of the band
and they were rightfully inform
ed that we appreciate to the full
est extent all that this organiza-
ton was doing for the town. At
night they were the guests of the
Meade men at the production of
the missouri Girl" at the opera
house.
Thursday morning the meet
ing was called to order by Pres
ident o. r. Stevens of the Meade

Mr.. Corp. II at gentleman
spoke on the advantages of the
road to both Meade and Beaver
and made proposition in regard
to building the same. The plan
met with the approval of those
interested and it was decided to
begin at once making prepara
tions to get the work started.
J. M. Brannon, one of Meade's
oldest and most influential sett-
lers made rousing speech which
brought forth a round ofapplause
and created much enthusiasm.

Won Prosky's s Band.

Won Prosky's band arrived last
Thursday and appeared in the
opera house during the evening.
The program was a long one and
each number received generous
applause. The attendance at the
concert was not as good as ex-
pected. There we're wo or
three other attractions in town
that evening, and the crowds
we're divided, However, those
who did not come to the opera
house, missed some mighty good
music. The features of the pro-
gram were the solos by Prof.
Won. Prosky on the cornet and
violin and Miss White on the
piano. During til afternoon
Thursday, the band played on
the streets and marched around
several blocks and deligted the
residents who live closein. La

Swatting The Fly.

No movement agitated since
the world was inhabitated is de-
serving of as much consideration
as the !''Swat The Fly" crusade.
A great deal of joking has been
INDUCED at the expense of the
movement and much of the value
has been lost thereby. A Chica-
go professor has changed the
slogan somewhat, but we are of
the opinion that the origin
al swat the fly is more effective
than swat the person who har-
bors the fly. Both together
would be an ideal combination.
But if the joking side was passed
up and the necessity for needing
the advice more generally recog-
nized the health of the communi-
tv would no doubt be improved.
Let's quit treating the matter as
a joke and really try to extermi-
nate the pest.
