narrow escape of fire one night last
week about II o'clock. the family
was awakened by the flames and
smoke that had gotten in the room.
They found large wardrobe which
was full of clothes on fire. It seems
that it must have caught on the inside
being caused by a rat or mouse strlk-
ing a match. One of the children had
put a box of matches in the wardrobe
the day before, The wardrobe was
quickly removed from the room by the
family and some of the neighbors and
the remainder of the fire was put out
with water. The damage amounted to
about $40.

missioners appropriate $4,000 to-
wards filling Red Lake, the sports

cumlated considerable funds. The
sportsmen of that county have de

ways the boys are raising money is
through large public dances. DO
nations are solicited and contributed
along this line are nothing small.

ONLY WOMAN BROKER
IN SOUTHERN NEVADA

Tonopah enjoys the unique distinc
ton of having the only woman bro
ker in Nevada. Mrs. Stella Priest,
the efficient manager Of the j. w.
Shelton company, Incorporated, has
demonstrated that the feverish lure
Of the vicissitudes of the western
mining camps is not confined to the
stronger sex. The call Of the desert
reached her in 1903. Passing through
the major portion Of the Cripple
Creek excitement, she was reared in
excitement. In associating herself
with the J. W. Shelton company she
became identified with the Oldest
brokerage house in southern Nevada.
It was she who made out the first
townsite locations for the town Of
Goldfield in the days Of this fren-
zied mining excitement Her business
Judgment is very keen and is ac-
cepted on a par with any in Tonopah
and this quality along with the affa-
bic manner that she combines with
4 her dealings, has made her a host
