Fort Montgomery. back of West
Point, killed her with blows on the
head with a hammer and stole $500

ANOTHER LUCKY FIRE

Between 9 and 10 o'clock this NOR
ming, a fire started in the residence
formerly owned by Senator Hunter
on Commercial street and occupied
MIR. Clinton and family.
The hose carts were on the ground
shortly after the alarm sounded
and good work was done by volun =
teers in fighting TIE fire. The FIRE
evidently started between the cell
ing and roof from the kitchen stove
and was very difficult 10 get at.
The volunteers stuck to the work,
however, and saved the house. The
roof Mas badly da aged and the
interior Of the house was damaged
with water. The furniture and
p rsonal effects of the Clinton
family were saved
The house is now the property
Of Mr.. Ed. Carvile. 1t will cost
considerable to repair the damage.
1t was another of Elko's lucky fires.

of the desert that would inject

The present glorious weather at

which prevails in the desert country
during the greater part of every
winter. In Goldfeld and surround

an umbrella is actually a curiosity

A report came into Elko Friday

considerable excitement particu-

bringing in the pelt. When he
arrived at the cave where the bear

precaution he had the machine
backed up TO the hole so they could
make quick getaway if it should
appear unawares. No sooner was

As IT SHOULD Be

From time to tire since election
we believe it has been wired &C ros.
the country that Mr.. Bryan will b,
rendered the Office of secretary oi
state under President Wilson.
IL has been more than once denied
that any negotiation or consultation
of that kind have ever been in
hand: but we would not be sur.
prIsed If the tender should be made
hi and that he should accept. A
great many people reason Justly
considering the matter in general
way that such an acceptance on
the part of Mr.. Bryan would de-
feat his chances to be again a
candidate for president in 1919.
There is only one consideration
that counts against that statement,
and we may. from what we know
of Mr.. Bryan, positively predicate
that If he does accept the office, il
Will he for the purpose of killing
his choice for president, but that
1t that will make it possible for him
to De again candidate.
There is just one consideration
In that connection. When Mr.. Byran
was first candidate, it was on a
silver platform, and if he wen ac-
cepts that office we may figure with
absolute safety that his reasoning.
between himself and those interest
ed in his ambition, has been that he
as secretary of state. might induce
the great powers of Europe to
reconsider the silver question and
on some fair basis have it re.
established. If that is his idea he
may accept the place, and it is a
certain thing to predict that should
he accept the place and should he
during his term, work out that
change and thus restore our ex-
changes with China and regulate
our exchange discrepancies with
the Spanish American states la our

A SERIOUS PREOICAMENT

TOnopah today is facing serious
predicament and the earnest CO..
operation Of every person in the
district is needed before conditions
can be remedied. An epidemic of
scarlet fever is threatening and in
order to prevent the spread of the
disease it is necessary that all
parents. join with the health board
in effectively stamping out the ma
lady.
Fortunately, the disease is light
in character and no fatalities have
resulted thus far. However, it can
never be foretold when the fever
will appear in more malignant type
and cause number of fatalities.
The board of school trustees has
issued orders closing the schools,
thus preventing children from
gathering together and permitting
the Transmission Of the germs. The
board of county commissioners has
likewise issued orders forbidding
the children under the age Of 81
to attend any theaters, and at the
same time a general warning has
been issued asking parents to keep
their children off the street.
Every due precau,ion is being
taken and with effective work on
the part Of all parents the disease
can be stamped out within a few
days. The vigilance must not be
relaxed one instant, for il the cpl
dcmic become general the entire
community will suffer a heavy loss,
while innumerable deaths may be
the ultimate result. Bonanza.
