SCOT IS
CAUSE OF ALARM

The burning of SCOT in the big
chimney of the Consumers Mailing
and Brewing company last Sunday
night was responsible for the turn
ing in of a fire alarm last Mon
day night. The flames lighted up the
atmosphere for almost a mile, and II
was the general impression that an
other confagation was about TO over
whelm the brewery. 1t also caused
the sparks to rise above the chimney
and drop upon the roof.
The employees of the plant We're
frightened. because W. other fires
had occurred at the brewery within
the last year. and fastened to turn in
an alarm of fire. Every hose cart in
the city was brought in the service
and after a long and fatiguing run.

BARBER SHOPS AT McGlLL
AGREE ON CLOSING HOURS

Since Pacific time became effective
generally throughout the district, the
two barber shops at McGill have es-
tabllshed new closing hours on Satur-
day nights. NJ. Herman was In favor
Of closing up at 10 o'clock. while
q. j. Winter was anxious to keep his
place of business open an hour later.
The opposition shops were unable
to reach an amicable agreement as
TO the closing hours, and agreed to
decide the proposition on the toss OF
o coin. Herman was lucky in max
ing his choice, with the result that
the two shops will be kept open un-

LIBRARY e.
PLANNED FOR ELY

Through the efforts of II. n. Byrne,
cashier of the First National Bank,
ely may be able to boast within the
near future of Carnegie free public
library. The initial step toward the
providing of adequate facilities in
this respect was taken by Mr.. Byrne.
when he communicated with James
Bertram private SECRETARY for the
noted Scotch philantropist.
Mr.. Carneiege has requested those
Interested In the project to have the
MAYOR and members of the city conn-
ell send him a communication stat
ing how the residents of the COM
mnnity are willing to aid the enter
prise. Accompanying the letter is a
blank form to be filled out with the
information in detail desired by Mr..
Carnegie. This procedure must he
carried out before the Laird of Skibo
will indicate the amount that he will
contribute 10 the free library.
The city controls no ground that
would be desirable as a location for
the library. An effort may be made
by the authorities to induce some
public spirited citizen to donate the
necessary lots. The cooperation OF
the county commissioners, will IN
donbtedly be invoked to bring abons
the much desired result.

DUEL MEET FOR HIGH
SCHOOL TRACK TEAM

Activities for the country high
school track team during the APP
preaching season will probably be in
creased by the addition of a dual
meet with a picked aggregation of

the purpose of atfording a tryout for
the students. who expect to compete
in the academic meet at Reno on

candidates. who can be depended to
uphold the honors of the school on
the cinder path.
No favoritism will be displayed by
Murphy in the selection of his picked
aggregation. it being his desire to get
together the best athletes in the dis
trict, The high school boys are out
in suits every night, and expect to be
able to render a good o of
themselves in the first tryout.
The circular letter ent out to the
various high schools by the state
board of control of the Nevada
Academic league has been received
at the high school. 1t contains the
information that two entries are al
lowed Il each school for each event.
No student is allowed to enter
more than four different athletic
events, No school may enter more
than twelve students in the meet.

A Temperance Of the General.

a disappearance OF the General.
Keith did not inform Hope OF her
brothers death until the following
morning, but had the body properly
prepared for burial, and devoted the
remainder Of the night to searching
for General Waite. and, incidentally,
for both Hawley and Scott. Both
Hickock and Fairbain assisted In this
effort to learn The whereabouts Of the
dead boys father. but without the
slightest result, nor did Keith's inves-
legations reveal the gambler al any of
his accustomed resorts. while Scott
had apparently made a complete get
away. These disappearances merely
served to convince him as to the truth
OF his first suspicions; Scott might
have departed for good. but Hawley
would certainly reappear just as soon
as assured his name had not been
mentioned In connection with the
tragedy. To Neb alone did the plains
man candidly confde his belief in the
guilt OF these two. and when other
duties called him elsewhere, he left
the negro securing the town for any
possible temperance OF either.
Heavy-eyed from lack of sleep,
heavy-hearted with his message, yet
fully decided as to what advice he
should offer. Keith returned to the
hotel. and requested an interview with
Hope. Although still comparatively
early. some premonition OF evil had
awakened the girl. and In a very few
moments she was prepared to receive
her visitor. A questioning glance into
his face was sufficient to assure her OF
unpleasant news. but. with one quick
