DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHlP

Anthony Jurich. the Democratic
candidate for the nomination for dis
trict attorney. has b.sl a resident of
this county for eight years During

gagged In the practice of law. and has
been interested in a number of inn
portant cases. He filled the Office of
city attorney one term of two years.
and has ably discharged the duties of
that Office.
II was during his administration
that gun plays became unpopular in
Ely on account of his vigorous prose-
eutions of such offenders. BY reason
of his abilities he has been actively
engaged in the practice of law, and
has been interested in numerous I'm
portant cases. He filled the Office of
city attorney one term of two years,
and has ably discharged the duties of
that office
BY reason OF his Whitman-like
prosecuting abilities he has been EN-
ployed several times as special prose-
eutor by the county. On one oeca-
sion he YVES appointed Deputy Attor-
ney General Of the state for White
Pine county. so as to strengthen that
office. As Is a matter of common
Fnowlege. a large number of the per-
sons charged with crime are foreign
ers, and Mr.. Zurich. because of his
understanding their language and
knowing their ways and customs,
could more successfully prosecute
such cases than the average attorney.
rs he demonstrated OH several oeca
eions. having secured a verdict OF
guilty In one case which he p%roseeut-
ed aud wherein defendant was sent
to the p~enitentiary for life.

City To Vote
On Sewer
MUCH MOOTED QUESTION OF
BOND ISSUE TO BE SETTLED
BY REFERENDUM EXPRESSION
At THE POLLS.

An informal election will be held
On July q to determine as to the
advisability of constructing a storm
sewer to control the overflow waters
of hurry creek. The buck has been
passed by the city council up to the
voters of the city, and IL they decide
to come to the relief of property
owners in hurry canyon the propos-
led Improvement will be carried out.
Mayor A. l.. Parker, who has
vigorously opposed the storm sewer
proposition, stated that all he had
ever demanded of the city fathers
was the submission of the building
of the sewer to the people, as he did
not deem it advisable to spend in the
noighborhood of $4,000 for public
improvements without obtaining the
sanction of the body polite.
After the suggestion had been
made for a special election in order
to secure the expression of taxpayers,
the mayo readily assented to the
proposal. When the mooted points
in controversy had been temporarily
disposed of. a motion was passed by
the council authorizing the city at
torney to prepare on advertisement
offering $4,000 in bonds for sale on
July 25.
When a vote was taken among the
citizens that were present at the
meeting in regard to the bond issue
and storm sewer. the result was over
whelTingly in favor of the proposed
improvement.
The gathering last Thursday night
attracted a large crowd, and every
body voiced an opinion on the sub
ject. There was unanimty of op'
inion that property in hurry creel
should be protected. but some differ
cnt views were entertained as to the
best method of accomplishing the
much desired result.
The damage that was done tc
homes in hurry Creek canyon as a re.
suit of a flood last week was instru.
mental in bringing the sewer into
the center of the calcium. Persons
whose realty holding have been
damaged on more than one occasion
by storms are now seeking relief
from the city authorities.

Baseball Park
Will Be Raced
SCENE OF MANY HISTORIC CON-
TESTS ON THE DIAMOND WILL
RE TORN DOWN AND LUMBER
SOLD TO PAY 5000 DEBT.

With the ~dismantling of the base
ball park in Ely. which is scheduled
TO occur tomorrow morning. the death
knell of the national pastime has been
sounded in Ely. Lack of suitable
playing grounds has naturally
brought about the dissolution of the
ronnty league, and organized baseball
will soon become a memory.
The directors of the four clubs m
in Ely last night. and decided that
without a baseball park in the coun-
tvs geographical center 1t would be
suicidal 10 continue the league. Since
the playing season in Ely has enjoy
ed the distinction of being one of the
best playing towns in the district. ard
its forced elimination from the fold
T eeessarily meant that baseball would
iose its prestige
In spite of the fact that the coun-
ty association has gone TO that bourne
heavily populated, by frecracker
leagues. IN effort will be made to or.
ganize a series of games between Cop
rer Flat and an aggregation selected
from tho Mill and Smelter clubs n
McGill. The rabid bugs around the
smoke stacks are confident that theg
can raise $1,000 for five games, and
the enthusiasts from the mines ar.
certain they can obtain an equal
amount The winning team will take
the side bet and sixty per cen o. Il e
gate receipts. while the cellar kirs
viii have TO be satisfied with the
snort end of the gate.
I'VE have waited long enough for

Der and Coal company" said Manager
II. II. Hoffman last night. The claim
has been pending for three years, and
yet no attempt has ever been made
to reach a settlement.
Il have decided definitely to tear
Gown the grounds unless something
is done towards payment before
Monday morning. We will be able
to realize a sufficient amount from
the sale of the lumber TO insure the
company against loss. If the conf
pany were assured that half of the
indebtedness would be paid at once

He WAS GRABBED
ON MARKED BILL
RusE OF II. w. EDWARDS RE-
SUITS IN ARREST OF f.. BALL,
WHO is ACCUSED OF TAKING
$50 FROM NEVADA NORTHERN

Accused of appropriating $50 be-
longing to the Nevada Northern, e
Ball. a substitute operator in the
Ely Office, vas arrested last night
by Sheriff Grain ON complaint of Fl.
". Edwards. the Ely agent.
The defendant had entered the
services of the railroad about a week
ago, taking the place of W. G. Hull,
who was transferred to Copper Flat
while A. l.. Johnson. the regular
agent was enjoying his vacation in
Utah. He was assured of at least
a months employment. as Hull was
planning an outing after johnson
had returned from his recreation
trip.
II was o long before Edwards
became suspicious that the new oper-
ator was not p dependable person.
Having learned hat $40 had been
taken from the till. Edwards was not
long III directing his suspicious
against Ball. He Informed Ball of
the shortage shortly after he learned
of the theft. Ball attempted to offer
a plausible explanation. claiming that
two men had entered the office while
Edwards was at lunch and stolen the
money, while he himself had gone
cut to purchase a bottle of beer.
Not satisfied with the alibi that
had been offered. Edwards laid plans
to trap the telegrapher. He placed
a number of marked bills in the
money drawer yesterday. and after
learning that an additional twenty
dollars had disappeared. Edwards re-
allied that his ruse was successful.
A search of Balls personal effects
revealed one of the missing marked
bills. the preferring of a complaint
against the accused and his inearcer-
alton in the county Jail followed
shortly afterwards. Ball Will prob
ably be arraigned In the Justice court
tomorrow morning.

Britain Defeats
Battling Travis
uuGuIY TouTED RING PERFORM
Err FROM SALT LAKE KNOCK
m OUT IN FIFTH ROUND OF
Uneven BATTLE.

with half a minute of ffth round
Of a scheduled twenty round contest.
Jimmie Britain of McGili Knocked
.ut Battling Travis of Salt Lake, last
saturday afternoon. Britain drove
a short right chop to the chin, and
his weakened form slowly tottered TO
the canvas. 1t was not necessary for
Professor William Lansdon. who was
the third man in the ring, to toll OFF
the necessary ten seconds. as the
acreek Demon" had inhaled a sleep
nroducer of more than ordinary con-
sequence. II was several minutes
before the PROSTATE scrapper had re-
yiyed sufficiently to be taken from
the Knights of Pythias hall. where
the brief encounter was staged.
There was not a bright mark to
the Greeks efforts Britain had him
both to thought and action.
Having heard of his Salt Lake repu-
tation, the fighter from the smelter
town was determined to fell his OPP
ponent out.
Travis had nothing but swings, but
Britain took the sting out OF them
BY beating him to the lead. A body
blow In the fourth weakened Travis.
and on two occasions he took the
count. The bell came as a relief to
Travis, and he went to his corner
fatigued.
As he approached the center of
the ring at the beginning of the fifth.
close students of the pugilistic game
knew that the the end was not far
distant. Travis fell into a clineh.
and ,he blow In the previous round
leaving him limp and dazed. Bril-
tain determined to cut loose and end
the Uneven battle. A left poke to
body Jared Travis. and a right 10
Jaw foored him.
Travis landed only n real effec-
tive blow during'the short melee
In the third he jabbed Britain a
vicious right 10 the face. II carried
a sting with IL. and from that time
on Britain was cautious.
Brittain's display OF panther like ag-
gressiveness brough home the bacon.
The local exponent OF the fistic art
not only whipped the visitor, but
beat and hnmbled him. Gameness
was utterly lacking In the Greeks
category. and he seemed ready TO
take the count at the first oppor-
tunit,.
Owing to the l~ateness OF the hour.
the wrestling match between Chris
Jordan ana George Angelo was not
finished. An effort was made TO
stage a clash between the two Crap
piers at Stones hall last Thursday
night. A bout between Britain and
Young" Blutarch was billed as one
oil the evenings attractions. Owing
to the refusal of the promoters to
pay the $1,000 license required for
ten round fights. the sporting carni-
val was declared of.
