JOE MOOR BRUTALY BEATEN

Joe Moore, well known in Elko,
was brought from Deeth last night
suffering with severse injuries in
tlicted by George Parkersor, the
ex-road supervisor of Mardis.
From the story told by Mr.. Moore
this afternoon it appears that he
and his partner leased tent at Jar
bidge to Patterson for a livery
stable. One of the conditions being
that thar horse should have place
in the stable Several days ago
when the storm began. Mr.. Moore
went to the stable and found his
horse outside in the storm. 1t was
night and Parkerson not being at
the stable Moore went to his resi-
dence tc sec him He found Par
kerson drunk and quarrel ensued.
Moore went back to the stable and
the man in charge turned two
horses out to make room for his.
He fed the horse its grain and
watched it while eating so that
other horses would not get it.
Parkerson came to the barn and
began calling Moore vile names and
threatening to whip Inn. When
Parkerson called him a very vile
name. coupled with a viler threat,
Moore struck him over the head
with lantern he had in his hand.
The lantern fell from his hand and
the light went out. Patterson
went out IF the stable and picked
up club and was entering the
stable with it, when Moore picked
up a pitchfork and told him to
come no further with the club, for
if he did no would get hurt.
The men met each other for
three or four days after the trouble
at the stable, but neither mention
ed it. Saturday Patterson started
forChal lesion with teams and went
some distance, hut could not make
il through tie srCw. He left his
slcighs and returned TO Jarhidee
with his teams. The next day Mr..
Moore started with his teams for
Dceth. When they reached Park
ersOn's sleighs they began to break
the road ahead. While they were
at work, Patterson came with his
teams and the two outfits worked
together breaking the road. While
they were at work, Patterson S
team took the lead. Mrs. Dodd,
who was with Mr.. Moore had
saddle horse which she told Moore
to take and go through to Dccth
with it. He took the horse and
soon overlook Patterson stalled in
Viz HiI'"' lIt pdSScI TIC team anu
had gone about forty feet when
ParkerSOn sliced him by the throat
and pulled him from the horse.
When he struck the ground Parker
son jumped on him and kicked him
in the ribs and face and left him in
the road. Two of MUOrc's ribs
being broken and being otherwise
injured no was compelled to stay
two nights a'd two days in the
tent of a miner. His outfit went
through to Dceth and returned to
the tent after him, and he reached
the railroad yesterday. He was
brought to EIko last night and DR..
West attended to his injuries.
Mr.. Moore is able to be around
town this afternoon, but he is in a
pretty bad shape. He is a quiet in
offensive man and is badly crippled
in one hand with rheumatism.
ParkersOn is said to be a large
nan and very quarrelsome when
under the influence Of liquor.

The Magnitude
of this
Transaction

This makes the third Frederick
Piano Club. The first opened July
Is, 1909, to 500 members. The
sect nd opened October Ii, to
secure 500 members. This third
Club opens to 1000 members in
Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Washing
/, ton, where the three principal Fred
erick warerooms are located. d.
Z The Frederick Piano Clubs have
made piano history. They were born
of progressiveness. Features were
introduced which, up to that time'
had never been known in piano SELL
ing. Big economies were introduced.
Club members saved big money az
individuals and tens of thousands OF
dollars collectively. Safeguards were
thrown around Club members. Club
members also shared in the profits.
Not only in the initial price, but were
paid cash dividends for shortened
time.
A Life Insurance feature was in
troduced under which the piano be-
comes the property of the family
of a member who dies before COM
pleting payment. Liberalities were
piled upon liberalities and privileges
upon privileges until the Frederick
Piano Clubs have been more widely
discussed than any other mercantile
event of the day.
So widely known have these Fred
erick Piano Clubs become that they
have been initiated from Maine to
California. We know of no less than
six Clubs of the same reputed ad-
vantages being run at one time in
different parts Of the country.
Obviously it requires BIG outlet
of pianos to conduct Club. No sin
gle store, no matter how successful,
could operate real Club-for 1t
takes large numbers of pianos-hun-
dreds of them-to make/a difference
In the buying cost.
The Frederick Piano Company. with
it's immense organization of stores,
covering several States. buys pianos
and player-pionos in quantities which
make these Clubs possible. This one
Frederick Piano Club now running
will use 1000 instruments, repre-
senting a cash outlay of one-third Of
a million dollars.
