hand, a number of smaller owners
have appeared with protests, and In
the majority of instances, have gone

fact that many assessments were cut
down, the amount of this years as
sessment roll is larger than that of
last year by approximately $780,

Two years ago the assessment of
the Steptoe Valley Smelling and Min

the company appeared before the

amount cut down by a quarter OF a

there we're only two members of the
board present. and they disagreed.

DEMETRAIL LOSES OUT.
Greek Demon Fails to Put Jack Olson
Down for Two Falls Inside
of an Hour.

Demetral, the Greek Demon" fall
ed to throw Jack Olson, the Canadian
Swede, twice in an hour last night,
and so lost the $500 side bet, which
he had made with Olson. Demetral
ascribed his hard work with Olson
a week ago last night to the small
mat which had been provided, 1t be-
ing only nine feet square. Last night
the regulation mat of 1S by 16 feet
was spread on the floor of the Won
derland, and left nothing to be de-
sired by the demon.
Demetral met with a surprise In
Olson, when first he met him; for he
had no idea of meeting so clever a
wrestler. At the end of the match, a
week ago, however. he made the re-
mark that he could throw him twice
In an hour. and Olson was In his

CLOSE CALL FROM FIRE.

The home OF Ed Scott in Salt

was sleeping. Mrs. L. NJ. Boyce,
mother of Mrs. Scott, and wife of L.
NJ. Boyce. one of the linotype opera
tors of the White Pine News, with
her daughter. was stopping at the
house. and the two barely escaped
with their lives. They had no time
at all to save any of their effects, and
lost everything. The prompt arrival
of the fire department saved the
building from total loss.

his boast. The match was made for
last night.
The crowd was not as large as the
week before, but the audience was as
appreciatiye. 1t took twenty-one
minutes for the Greek to throw his
man in the first hitch, and the crowd,
then. was certain that the next fall
would be easy. But there was no
next fall Demetral worked all the
points he knew and employed all the
skill at his command. Olson was on
the defensive, and let the Greek do
the work. And Demetral worked like
a giant; but Olsons staying quail
tiles were too much for him His
cleyerness got him out of many a
hole, and he laid down and rested
while his husky opponent worked
with might and main to get a fall.
The minutes sped by with the men on
the mat, Demetral working all the
holds and throws he knew, Olson
lodging, slipping, holding on fast,
letting go quick, working for time.
The tine drew near, and the audience
was on its feet, intense with sup
pressed excitement. The hour was
up and there was no fall Olson was
the winner.
