of much charm.

pie of the district did not forget the
charitable purpose that prompted the
affair, and responded the call for
volunteers to assist III making the
dance one of the real successes of the
season.
1t was truly an exquisite sight to
watch such an array Of happy dane

His hearing was set for Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock by Justice

The news of the arrest of the four
men created considerable consterna-

and spread with unusually rapidity
throughout the saloon district.
Those who came within the pale of
the anti-gambling law suspended op-
erations. and the capture was the
sole topic of conversation about the
streets Friday night.
While the poker game was in pro-
gress in the rear of Jim's place, Poe
was an interested spectator, although
none of the onlookers suspected that
he was clothed with police authority.
Nothing occurred to disturb the usual
serenity prevailing in the room, un-

That illicit gambling will not be
tolerated in the Ely district was evil
dent last Friday night when three
persons were arrested in Jims place
by John Prentice Poe, Jr., member
of the state police, on charge of in
dulging in a game of stud poker in
direct violation of the anti-gambling
law.
Those who were taken into sustody

TRACTION ENGINE TO
HAUL HAMILTON ORES

A traction engine with credited
capacity of thirty tons, which Is now
available for use at Eureka, will be
utilized in transporting the lead-sil-
yer ores from Hamilton to the base
range. If the plans of mine operators
in the White Pine district are con-
summated.
Since the washout on the Eureka
and Palisade year and half ago,
ore shipments from that district have
been suspended. The desire to af-
ford transportation facilities to claim
owners, and Hamilton the heaviest
shipper of lead ores in Nevada has
caused the owners of the traction en-
gine to place it in service. 1t is
anticipated that the engine will be
capable of hauling eighteen tons of
ore on trip, and that not more than
two days will be required in making
the journey to Eureka.
Hugh Coyle has about 1900 sacks
of ore ready for shipment to the Salt
Lake smelters, and would begin
hauling to Eureka, if he could secure
teamsters. The White Pine Lead
company is in a position to make
regular shipments from the Ne Plus
Ultra mines as soon as the eonstruc-
tion work on the Eureka and Palisade
road is completed.

The state and county appropria-
tions amounting to 1920 have been
supplemented by an additional sum
of money derived from the sale of

grams that are being distributed.
Local business people have reeogniz-
ed the value of bringing the institute
to Ely by responding generously With
paid advertisements, and those who
have charge of the arrangements
now feel that they are safe in putting
on a program that will cost in the
aggregate about $400. The outlook
for a large attendance OF teachers is
very good
No teacher in White Pine county
will be excused from attending the
institute except in case or great
necessity, and those from the other

Ely Basketball Five Defeats
Picked Team From Mines

Demonstrating by their aggressive
style of play, and clever team work
that it is capable of coping with any
aggregation of basketball artists in
the state, the Ely high school five
smeared a 81 to 16 defeat at Wonder
land last night over a picked team
from Copper Flat, which was compos-
ed of four members of last seasons

Within a few minutes after the
game was started it was evident to
the spectators that Copper Flat
did not have a chance TO cut close to
the students, and as each play was
pulled off. the inferiority of the visi-
tors became more apparent.
The high school presented the
same formidable lineup which
humbled the Elko high school about
three weeks ago with the greatest

MAGEE DIVORCE CASE
. MARKED BY SENSATIONS

Extreme cruelty running the
gamut from simple nagging TO a
threatened attack with beer bottle
composed in brief the testimony of
Charles S. Magee, in the divorce case,
against his wife, Ida NJ. Magee, which
was begun in the district court Tues
day morning.
The defendant testified that Magee
slapped her in the face and threaten
ed to kill her because she refused to
purchase beer for him. The witness
stated that her husband frequently
deviated from the path of sobriety,
and that quite often he came home
in circles. Mrs. Magee also asserted
that the plaintiff compelled her to
live in an undesirable section of
town. near which the residents of the
underworld held forth. Her testi-
mony was simply reiteration of the
allegationsmade in her answer and
cross-complaint.
Magee's evidence was extremely
sensational in its nature. He stated
that his life was constantly in danger.
and that his wife had compelled him
/, to sleep in barn, and endure un-
usual hardships. On an occasion of
this nature the witness said that his
wife brought several women into the
barn to-subject him to ridicule, and
then remarked in a vulgar manner
that he was a drunken dog.
The taking of evidence and the
arguments of the opposing attorneys
was completed Wednesday after
noon. Judge Coleman took the case
under advisement.

Reduced 10 mere physical form
by the excessive use OF alchoholie
liquors, Jennie Sanchez, otherwise
known as Jennie Fitzgerald, a
familiar figure In the tenderloin dis
tricts of Ely and Riepetown died
about o'clock yesterday morning
in the Smith hospital from the eff
feots of a brutal beating alleged to
have been administered by her para
mour, Harry Heller. formerly bar
tender in Dugan's dance hall
Heher was arrested shortly after
the Sanchez woman had breathed her
last. No complaint will be prefer
red against the accused until after
the investigation, which is being
made by Coroner Cartwright in re-
gard to the circumstances surround
ing the death of the unfortunate
woman Is completed Heller has
been drinking heavily for the last
four days, and was unable to realize
the severity of the offense with which
he Is charged when he was taken into
custody.
The quarrel between Heller and
the woman with whom he was living
is supposed TO have occurred Thurs
day evening In a cabin occupied by
the couple In the rear of the Annex
saloon In the redlight district.
After knocking her To the floor with
a we'll directed blow of his fist, Heher
kicked her about the body, and
trampled upon her until she was
rendered unconscious. The prisoner
must have attempted to choke the
Sanchez woman for finger marks
wore plainly visible on her throat.
The woman presented pitiful
sight, when outsiders rushed into
Heher's quarters, and prevented
him for the moment from carry
ing out his apparently murderous
desires With both eyes blackened
and numerous welts on all parts of
her body, Jennie Sanchez was found
lying on the floor beaten almost be-
yond recognition. After remarking
that her side hurt ner, the woman
assigned no other reason for the
cause OF the predicament in which
she had been placed by Heher.
After tossing about on a sick bed
for thirty hours without proper care
or medical assistance, friends of the
injured woman summoned DR.. A. f.
Adams late Friday afternoon. but
upon making an examination. the at
tending physician declared that her
condition was such that he could
give no encouragement.
At the request of DR.. Adams the
dying woman was removed shortly
afterwards TO the Smith hospital.
where she fingered for twelve hours
before finally breathing her last. The
body was removed yesterday morn
ing to the undertaking parlors of
Nevin a. Graham where 1t will be pre-
pared for burial. Although nothing
definite Is known about the relatives
of the deceased. IL Is believed that
her adopted parents reside at Chey-

Jennie Fitzgerald was clouded with
suspicious circumstances Coroner A.

FORTY CANDIDATES TO
AFFILIATE WITH ELKS

The event that is holding the chief
attention of the local Elks in the ex-
cursion that will be made to Salt
Lake about January Is, when forty
prominent residents of the Ely dis
triet will be initiated into the myster-
les of Elkdom.
Owing to the fact that the bylaws
of the order will not permit the CIV
ing the degree work to more than
twenty persons in one month, half
of the candidates will be made ac-
quainted with the lodge secrets at
Ogden, while the remainder of the
party will receive the pledges of the
fraternity in Salt Lake.
If more than forty persons decide
to take the trip, it may be necessary to
enlist the aid of the Elk's lodge at
Provo. The welfore of the visitors
will be attended to by a special es-
cort from the Salt Lake and Ogden
lodges during their sojourn in Utah.
The trip will be made over the Ne
yada Northern and Western Pacific,
and although the exact date is not
definitely known, the party will leave
Ely on a Tuesday morning. Half
rates have been granted by the rail-
roads for the excursion. 1t is ex-
pected that many ladies will be repre-
sented in the party, and in their
honor the Salt Lake Elks will give a
public reception at the club rooms
the day following their arrival in the
Utah capital.
