MAN PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED
in RUNAWAY ON LYONS AVENUE
Bill Tonkins, Thrown from Carriage When
Horse Takes Fright at Automobile,
Receives Fracture of the Skull

Bill Tonkins, shift boss at the
Boston Ely mine, is at the Ely hos
pital, probably fatally injured, as the
result of being thrown from a buggy
about half past nine last evening in
a runaway accident on Lyons avenue.
Tonkins' skull was fractured at the
base of the brain, and at late hour
last night the doctors gave but lit
tie hope of his recovery. The in
jured man is about forty years old,
and has a family. OF two others with
him at the time of the accident, one
received minor injuries from jump
ing from the carriage
Mr.. Tonkins had been in the car
riage but a few minutes when the
accident occurred, having accepted
an invitation from the two men, ae-
quaintanees of his, and who had
driven down from Riepetown, TO
take a short ride. The parties in
the buggy We're Italians, and have
working under Mr. Tonkins at the
mine. Mr. Tonkins was standing on

Senator Chaplin Accepts
Appointment on Board
of County Education

Yesterday Senator N. H. Chaplin
received from John Edwards Bray,
state superintendent of public in
struction, his appointment as men,
Der of the White Pine county board
of education, succeeding Lindsay
Duncan, resigned. The resignation
of Mr.. Duncan, who was president of
the board, was a meter of surprise
to the general public, as well as of
regret, as his services in the inter-
ests of the educational welfare of the
county have been of a thorough, con-
scientious and valuable nature. Be-
ing a trained engineer as well as a
practical business man, his presence
on the board at this particular time
incident with the building of the new
county high school, would have been
particularly valuable. Mr.. Dun
cans resignation is actuated in part
by business reasons, the time neces-
sary to school affairs encroaching too
much upon other duties.
Following Mr.. Duncans action,
State Superintendent Bray signified
his willingness to appoint some one
to the board favored by the other two
members, and Senator Chaplin was
recommended by Senator Comins and
DR.. Richardson for the position. The
appointment is generally satisfac-
tory, Mr.. Chapin's standing in the
community being taken as assur-
ance that he is in every way quail
fed for the duties and responsible
tiles of the position, and entitled as
well to the honor unexpectedly
rendered him, and which he has ac-
eepted.

RATE REDUCTION ORDERED.

A decision made by the public SER
vice commission, Tuesday. is import
ant to the residents of Ely, from an
economical standpoint. as a consider
able reduction is ordered in the lights
and service furnished by the ElyLight
and Power company The case was
brought by the city of Ely more than
year ago. and series of hearings
was held here before the members
of the public service commission, who
accumulated a large amount of evi-
denee bearing on both sides of the
issue
AS ordered by the commission,
there is a reduction in the charges
from 20 cents a kilowatt to fifteen
cents. and from $500 to $3.50 in
the minimum monthly rate for light.
The order further eliminates the
class a rate, whereby rs cents a
month has been charged for drop
lights, which has been added to the
eight cent charge per kilowatt for
current The ruling Is for charge
of Is cents per kilowatt hour for
ten and not to exceed so hours. For
excess of so kilowatt hours and not
70 exceed $50, 12* cent rate is or
dered, and above 250 hours ten cents
per kilowatt To the ordinary con-
sumer the reduction represents a saw
ing of about 25 per cent.
In explaining the delay of the COM
mission in giving a decision in the
case, Chief Commissioner Bartine be-
fore whom the hearings were held,
says:
AT the close of the hearing time
allowances were made to the attor-
neys representing the respective par
ties. The first brief was to be filed
by Mr.. Boreman, representing the
complainant. The respondent was
given time within which to answer
the opening brief, and then the COM
plainant was allowed further time in
which to reply. All of this was SUBJ
ject to the understanding that the
various time allowances might be
extended by stipulation between the
parties. Such stipulations We're re-
peatedly made. The result has been
that counsel for the City of Ely filed
no brief whatever, and as il appear
ed to the Commission that the case
should be settled. counsel for re-
spondent was notified to file his
brief, whereupon the case was to be
closed. This brief was duly filed on
the sixth day of March, 1913. 1t
was voluminous, comprehensive and
strong"

when near the Ely Lum Ter and Coal
company's building. the horse took
fright at an automobile and bolted.
AS near as can be learned, the reins
became entangled in some way, and
the driver mad no control over the
horse. One of the men jumped about
as soon as the horse bolted and was
uninjured. The ether jumped just
before Mr.. Tonkins was thrown, and
received some bad bruises, but moth
ing of a serious nature. Eye wit
nesses state that Mr.. Tonkins was
standing up in the buggy, and shout
ing whoa" to the horse. He was
thrown bodily from the carriage,
striking heavily uron his headd in
the street. The horse was stopped
soon after, without damage to itself
or the carriage. DR.. Gleason and DIR.
Alexander were summoned and the
injured man taken to the hospital,
where 1t was at once seen that his in
juries were critical.
Mr. Tonkins has been employed at
the Boston Ely mine for the past
two years, and is known as a reliable
man of steady habits.

COURsEO STUDY
|NSTATESCHOOLS
PROF. McCRACKEN IN REPORT
To SUPERINTENDENT OF PUB
Lie INSTRUCTION CHAMPIONS
COMMERCIAL SCIENCE COURSE

George E. McCracken who has
been in charge of the commercial
department of the White Pine coun-
ty high school since that branch of
the school was organized two years
ago, has severed his connection with
the educational work of this county,
as have also Miss Grace Fairchild
and Mr.. George Whiteley, who have
been instructors in the county high
school during the past two years. All
three of these teachers have been
popular and efficient instructors, and
it is unfortunate for the education
al interests of the county that they
are leaving.
In the two years that Mr. McCrac-
ken has been in charge of the COM
mercial department of the high
school he has done much for the ad-
vancement of the practical side of
education in this county. He organ
lied the department a month after
school opened in the fall of 1911 ,and
since that time 1t has been a strong
drawing card for the school. More
than half of the pupils enrolled in
the high school this year have avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to
take some of the commercial branch
es, and many of them have taken the
full course of instruction. Bookkeep-
ing, Shorthand, typewriting and the
allied subjects have been covered
thoroughly so that at the close of
term it was found that high de-
gree of efficiency has been obtained
One of the students of the Shorthand
department. lsadore Richmond, has
accepted a lucrative position as q
stenographer at McGill for the sum-
mer, and expects to return and COM
plete his high school course next
year.
Mr.. McCracken has taken an active
part in the organization of CONNER
cial courses in the state, and largely
as result of his efforts course of
study has been formulated for high
schools, and adopted by the state
board of education. The following
communication taken from the April
number Of the Nevada School Journ-
al gives Mr.. McCracken's views:
Ely. New, Feb. 2S, 1918.
Mr.. John Edwards Bray,
State Supt. Public instruction.
Carson City. Nevada.
Dear MIR. Bray:
In submitting to you the enclosed
report OF the conclusions reached by
the state teachers of commercial
science in the recent institute, ii
may not be out of place to relate
briefly something of the work that
entered into it.
When | came to Ely two years ago
found conditions far from ideal.
On account of the newness of the
work in commercial science little was
to be discovered in the curricula of
this or any other school to guide the
teacher in shaping his course. The
state course of study was very indef-
mite in the matter. There were no
requirements governing the work In
certain subjects, and it was difficult
to intelligently advise students what
studies they might properly pursue.
In view of the conditions 1t was
at once necessary to look about for
