The funeral of A. B. Gibson, editor
of the Battle Mountain Scout, who
died Tuesday morning of heart dis
ease, was held in the Methodist
church at Battle Mountain Wednes-
day at 2 p. IN. and was conducted by
the Rev. A. w. Ownby, pastor, large
congregation being in attendance. The
funeral sermon was prefaced by the
following brief sketch of his life:
Adolph Benjamin Gibson was born
in Baltimore, Md, Jan. 13, 1S4S, de-
parted this life April Z, 1914, aged sc
vars, 3 months and "a days. He came
west about the year 1853 and to Ne
the interests of number of news
papers in the state for quite a num-
Der of years, having been connected
with the Goldfeld Tribune, the Gold
field Post and Tonopah Nevadan. He
had also been connected with papers
in Rhyolite, Manhattan and Skidoo.
The second day of last july the first
edition of the Scout was isued under
his administration as editor and pub
Usher, which position he was filling
at the time of his sudden departure
on the above mentioned date.
1t also should be noted that he was
appointed Z. $. consular agent at
Honda, state of Tolina, United States
| of Columbia, in 1897, which position
| he held about one wear when his
brother, Chas. III. Gibson, succeeded
him.

home is in Washington, ID. c., also by
one brother, Chas. Henry Gibson, who

In Battle Mountain he made many
friends, and was esteemed to be gen

kind and genial in disposition.
He will be greatly missed by the
community and the many readers OF
the Scout. To the bereaved we extend
our deepest sympathy.-Austin Rev
ellie.

INCREASED OUT.
PUT OF FORD CARS

DETROIT Mich, April 14.-Going
up. Production figures at the Ford
factory at Highland Park, Mich, are
shattering all records. Eleven hun
dred and more ears day for twenty
six consecutive working days was the
record in March. When the last ear
had passed out of tn efactory's doors
on March 3lst, there had been twenty
eight thousand, seven hundred and
twelve Fords built and shipped during
this month of thirty-one days, of
which five were Sundays.
Those who have been following
motor car production have become ac-
customed to think of the Highland
Park factory as the place where more
than ane thousand complete automo-
biles are turned out every day.
These will now have to accustom
themselves to the new slogan of
More than eleven hundred Fords a
day."
When these figures are being digest
ed it should be kept in mind that ev-
cry car as soon as built, is shipped to
a waiting Ford agent. There is not
storage room at the factory for there
ism I any needed. The Ford factory,
big as it is, has its hands more than
full to build enough cars to supply
the demand.
The fact is, that despite the unpre-
eedented production during March,
the close of the month saw the fac
tory still many thousands of cars be-
hind the sales department An idea
of the demand for Fords NAV be OBJ
tanned when il is stated that on a
single day early in April, the factory
received orders for more than twelve
thousand cars.
Those familiar with the Ford bust
ness are predicting that the demand
for Fords this year, as in years past,
will greatly exceed the supply. They
are urging those who contemplate
purchasing, to do so early and thus
insure themselves of having a car
during the summer months when the
demand is heaviest
And there will be no let up during
April All indications point to this
being even a larger month in the way
of production than was March.
Reports from the Ford factory at
Ford. Ontario, and Manchester, Eng
land, show that the business of these
two companies is proportionately as
brisk as that of the American COM
panv.

1t will be open season for eandi-

Fort Atkinson.

Eunice P. Warne was born in the
town of Jefferson, July 6, 1866, and
died at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Sovina Warne, in Milwaukee, Nov. 20,
1914, aged AZ years, 4 months and ~
days. For the past twenty years de-
ceased had made her home in Milwau-
kee, where she was employed as pub
lie school teacher.
In this foot and mouth trouble, the
thing we have most to fear is the lg-
norant farmer. Because of his ignor-
ance he will go blunderingly along and
unconsiously help spread the disease.
Because of his ignorance he does not
know how infectious it is and likely as
not his curiosity will lead him to visit
infected farms to see what the disease
like and so he will spread it to his own
and other herds.
Early Sunday morning the city OF
Jefferson got its worst railroad wreck
in years when eleven cars of fast
moving south bound freight were de-
rallied directly in front of the new pas
senger station. 1t is believed that the
wreck was due to defective frog at
the switch in front of the depot. Only
through a piece of good fortune was
the new depot saved from being badly
damaged, for the piled up cars, instead
of toppling toward the depot, toppled
toward the river. The train must have
been moving at fast clip to do the
damage it did. Of the eleven derailed
cars, ten were so badly damaged that
nothing remained but the wheels and
trucks.
