HEAD-ON COLLISION NEAR ELY
POWER STATION MINES THINGS
--REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A serious accident was narrowly
averted just after dark, Tuesday
evening, when an automobile and a
two horse coal team collided head on
near the power plant of the Ely
Lighting company. The automobile
belonged to DR.. W. T. Gleason who
was driving the car, and was accom-
panied by DIR. |. A. Alexander and
Fred Baldwin. The coal team was
one of the Steptoe Valley Lumber
and Caol company's driven by Pete
Pallesen. The auto was bound from
East Ely to Ely, while the coal team
was headed towards East Ely. The
automobile party 1t is also reported
stated that they did not see the team
until too late to avoid the collision.
However, reports conflict somewhat
at this point, as Driver Pallesen is re-
ported as stating that he saw the ap-
proach of the automobile and was
turning out when the ear bumped into
the horses.
But whatever the cause, the an
tomobile and the team went together
with considerable force and a general
smash-up was the result Both
horses were thrown, one lying partial
ly over the front of the car. The
wagon pole ripped through the radia-
tor and front end of the automobile,
but was fortunately detected upward,
which no doubt saved the occupants
on the front seat of the car from
serious injury or possibly death.
Driver Pallesen has no recollection
of just how high he was thrown from
his seat when the car struck his team
but he is certain that when he came
down he struck the ground solidly,
and although he alighted in a
sitting position. rather than on his
head, il was several minutes before
he fully realized what had happened.
The car was pretty badly damaged,
and will need general repairs before
1t can again go into commission. The
occupants OF the automobile escaped
injury, but the horses were consider
ably bruised and lamed and have not
yet fully recovered from the effects of
the collision. 1t was first thought
one of the horses had been killed, but
after a few minutes the animal sue
ceeded in getting onto its feet.
1t was an experience none of the
party wish to repeat and all hands
are very thankful that the results
were no worse.

of these young pupils would have had
no trouble had they only known how
to spell.
Spelling is pretty important mat
ter and 1t is probable that the reve-

to continued interest and effort, 80
that by the time another contest is
ANNOUNCED. as there no doubt will be.
improvement will be noted.
Likewise, the Campton Commercial

ANNOUNCE WINNERS OF
SPELLING CONTEST

The winners of the spelling contest
held by the Campton Commercial
company, were announced Tuesday,
as follows: For boys-Clarence Row.
an of the Ely school, 1st; John Bag
well of the McGill school, I'd; Adrian
Tweedy of the Baker school. Sd. For
girls-Charlotte Smith of the Baker
school, 1st Almira Anderson of the
Siegel school, I'd; Harriet Boyd Of the
Cherry Greek school. Sd. Charlotte
Smith made the best single record.
The prizes were as follows: Boys
first prize, Bleriot monoplane; boys
second prize, suit of clothes; boys
third prize, Blue Bird flying machine.
For girls the first prize was 32-
inch doll; a manicure set for the
second and French baby coll for the
third.
| The contest included list of $50
words in ordinary use, selected from
the Wheeler third reader, the text
book used in the public schools of the
state, the words selected and grad
ed by committee composed of Dep
uty State Superintendent A. b. Light
| foot, Mrs. Joseph w. Gum of Ely,
Miss Bertha Rich of the county high
school, Miss Ida M. Berg of Black
horse, w. H. Watt of Gregory district,
Miss Maud Gates, Anna X. Barry and
Ann Murphy of East Ely. According
to the conditions of the contest, the
words were given out by the teachers.
and written In ink on plain paper,
and the several papers sealed and
forwarded to the Campton company
for graduation.
The number of papers returned
show that the contest aroused inter-
est of pupils and teachers, and 1t also
looks as If the schools of the outlying
districts were ahead of the urban
schools in the matter of spelling. The
text book from which the words were
selected is used In all the Nevada
schools, and the third grade reader
was decided upon as affording oppor-
tunity for a large number of con-
testants, inasmuch as pupils of the
higher grades are supposed to be
thoroughly proficient with every
thing in the third grade reader. But
the result of the contest was some
what of a shock as well as surprise,
and the winner of the first prize had
ten mis-spelled words. In number
of instances SO percent of the words
were mis-spelled and the boy who
was awarded the third prize mis-
spelled 20 words.
Like the boy once told his inquir-
ing relative that he was getting on
finely in school and would have nc
trouble whatever II he could only
learn those burned A, b. C's, SO some

SHOULD Be
THROWN OUT
'RETENsE or THE Law
invoked by Applicants to Cover Real
Purpose Of Operating Dirty
Dosgeries
(The Hustler)

The applications for tavern license
to sell liquor at Warrington and
quart license to sell liquor at Oak
Hill have aroused the good people
of that section of the county as they
have not been aroused for quite q
while. Warrington used to be
very tough spot when liquor was
sold there, becoming so much SO
that even the Christian county au-
thorities finally refused further IL
cense on that side of the line. 1t Is
now proposed to open doggery on
the Hopkins County side under the
application now pending, under the
fiction of law which requires the APP
plicant to prove that tavern is
necessary at that point for the con-
venience of the travelling public.
The real purpose, however, is OBJ
vious-and that is to run q saloon,
not tavern. Nobody ever stops at
tavern at Warrington, and If they
did, it would be dangerous to do SO
If a saloon was operated in connec-
tion with one.
The application for aquart license
at Oak Hill is equally vicious In its
purposes. The men making the APP
Fplication have q mere handful OF
groceries, together with soft drink
stand. and the real purpose Of the
application is to sell booze p-i-
MARTY. They are not what they
might be termed bona fide merchant
bat the claim Of being boni fed mer-
Echants Is . mere pretsnce. required
by law, before their application for
asart license sould be considered
