BASKET BALL
LAST EVENING
WAS A TIE

The University Preparatory de-
partment basketball team and the
Tonopah High school team played
a fast and exciting game of basket
ball last evening. in the Miners
Exchange hall Both teams were
greatly Handicapped by the canvas
on which the game was played.
The roughness of play which was
apparent throughout the game be-
! ing in large measure due to the
canvas slipping on the polished
floor The game was very fast,
and gave the impression of being
much rougher than it really was.

good second to his captain and
played we'll throughout The work
of the guards and center on the
Preparatory team was very good.
It was due to the efforts of Hovey
and Jepson at guard and Richard
son at center that Tonopah did not
score oftener.
The Tonopah guards showed a
great improvement over their game
at Goldfeld and kept their men COW
cred in good shape. Richardson
and Nelson proved a fairly even
match at center and the two big
fellows were in every play The
game was called tie after the
second half had gone two minutes

TO Be TRIED
FOR BIG THEFT
Former Sub-treaSury Teller
Charged with Stealing
$4,000

CHICAGO, III. June 17.-George w.
FITZGERALD is TO be placed on trial in
the United States district court here
this week on an indictment charging
him with the theft Of sl13.444 from
the government more than five years
ago. The alleged theft was commit
ted while Fitzgerald was employed as
teller of the subtreasury, in which
position he was in the habit of hand
ling about 81 100000 of government
funds every day.
Fitzgerald himself was the first to
reDort the shortage of Sl73,000 in his
accounts. The amount almost wholly
in $1,000 bills, had disappeared as
if by magic. Suspicion at first was
naturally directed towards Fitzgerald.
A rigid investigation into his private
life failed 20 bring anything TO light
TO substantiate the suspicion that he
might have been guilty of the theft
Shortly after the disappearance OF
the money Fitzgerald quit his 20
sitlon.
Although out OF the service. how
ever, the former teller was not lest
sight of. An alleged discovery by
secret service men that Fitzgerald
though apparently without any fixed
income. was spending money freely
and had endeavored, il is said, tc
chage $1,000 bill. led TO his arrest
about TWO years ago. At preliminary
hearing he was discharged for lack o.
evidence. The public supposed a
that time that the famous case wa
ended. so far as Fitzgerald himself
was concerned, but some months latel
the government sprung a surprise by
securing an indictment against TN
former teller. only a few hours be
fort the case would have been out
