DEPUTY SUpT. LICHTFOOT
vlSTS.EUREM SCHOOLS
He Reports Substantial Progress
In Ely District But Condemns
Roads Over Midland Trail

Deputy Supt. A. B. Lightfoot arrived
from Ely Thursday, accompanied by J..
B. Walden, travelling representative of
the Royal Fire Insurance Company.
They left Ely in Mr.. Liehtfoot's new
automobile with "Bud" Bodell, an en-
perienced chauffeur. at the wheel, but
owing to the very bad condition Of the
roads between Ely and Hamilton were
obliged to abandon the auto because of
q breakdown neal Round Springs. 80
miles out Of Ely. and proceeded on the
rest Of the journey by team.
Mr.. Lightfoot said to a representative
Of the SENTINEL that conditions in Ely
are at a high stage of excellence, gen.
orally. and that the pay roll Of about
$50. 900 a month goes steadily on with
out any probable prospect of cessation
or decrease.
Reports have been circulated around
Eureka recently to the effect that Ely
district was again facing impending
labor troubles. but Mr.. Lightfoot says
the rumors are unfounded and there is
no probability of any such occurrence
taking place while the present condi-
tions exist. The work goes on at a gi-
gantic daily rate. and there is constantly
an increase in the number of men en-
ployed and in the output of the mines.
The feeling in Ely among business
men is that of well.founded security,
and there is no indication of anything
which savors of possible impending ad-
versity. There has been a considerable
increase in the population Of the dis
trict during the past year as indicated
by the school census, and many people
have made investments in residence
property there within the past few
months. A general feeling of prosperi-
ty prevails, and there is no doubt that
Ely is now one of the most substantial
districts on the Coast.
With regards to the roads he said that
they are now in the worse condition
they nave been at any time during the
six years he has travelled through this
section of the State. and that extensive
repairs must be made between Ely and
Eureka before heavy automobile travel
will be either safe or profitable over the
Midland Trail by this route. The small
part of the road in Eureka County is in
fair condition but there are many places
in White Pine County which have been
neglected too long, aud which must be
repaired before trans. continental tour
lists should be directed to travel the
road. Two men have been recently
employed making small repairs in the
roads this side Of White Pine Summit in
order to make that section at all pass
able for either teams or automobiles.
After inspecting the schools to some
extent in this vicinity, Mr.. Lightfoot
left ror Illipah this morning and expects
to return to Eureka County with his
auto within few days, after which
he will proceed through the western
section of of his district.

SOs AoOOs
Early last Saturday morning Martin
BRONCO, an Italian. who had attended
the Italian Society ball. and there had
trouble with some young ladies on ac-
count of his being drunk, met Pete Re-
petto, an uncle of d of the girls, in
Tom Rosselli's saloon where a quarrel
started between the two men over
Bronzo's actions towards the young
ladies.
Ii seems that the other persons in the
saloon thought Bronco was going to get
a knife or some other weapon from in
side his trousers waist band, and they
scufled with him, during which he fell
to the floor. He was soon up and rushed
out of the back door, and those in the
saloon thought he was going next door.
where he roomed, to get q gun. Most
of the bystanders then left the saloon.
Rosselli. the proprietor. locked the doors
OF the place.
BRONCO soon appeared at the front
door with a double barreled shotgun,
and in trying to open the door the gun
was discharged into the porch. Seeing
be could not get in he went around to
the back door and forced it, breaking
a little wooden button used to fasten
the door. He came in and asked Bernard
Verdino, who was in the saloon,
"Where is that $1,000"
Verdino persuaded Bronco not to shoot
him, and ran out of the back door.
Bronco then went towards the front
of the saloon. and seeing Chris JorimaD
sitting in a chair at the outer end of the
bar, raised the gun, when within q few
feet of Joriman, and fred one shot at
him. which entered the left shoulder.

him to the Jail.

aud attended the wounded man.
Joriman and BRONCO had no had any
words at all. and it is thought that
BRONCO mistook Joriman for Repetto,
whom he was apparently looking for
with the gun.
Joriman is the driver for Paul Yost,
proprietor of the Eureka Brewery, and
is well known as a good. quiet man.

There is considerable feeling against
Bronco in town. as the ~wounding of
Joriman was entirely u~nprovoked, not
a word having been passed between
them.
Bronco had been in Eureka only a
few days and was employed on Ruby
Hill in the mines. Nothing is known
of him here.
