WINNEMUccA BEATS ELko HI
BY A LARGE SCORE AT THE
BRADLEY OPERA HOUSE
LAST EVENING
GAME WAS A GOOD ONE AND
WAS PRECEDED BY TWO PRE-
LIMINARIEs WHICH WERE
A DELIGHT TO ALL

Elko had the privilege last night
of seeing a basketball tournament
which, with the exception of the Win
nemucca boys mopping up the local
athletes, was joy to the large num-
Der of spectators present beyond
compare. Three games were put on,
one. between two girl teams of the
High School, one between two picked
town teams and the big noise be-
tween Elko Hi and Winnemucca III.
Winnemucca was the victor in the
main bout to the tune of 32 to 8,
completely outclassing Captain May
er's crew, in passing and general
team work. They showed know
ledge of the game which was surpris-
ing. Almost the entire game they
had the ball in Elko's territory and
time after time they took the spheriod
from away up in their own territory
to their goal by series of rapid pass.
es and then one shot and a goal was
scored. The Elko boys showed flash
es of form in the second half when
they scored points by good shooting.
However they showed a sad deficien-
-cy in team work. The particular
stars of the local team were Captain
Mayer and Porter, Fernald playing a
good defensive game, while Captain
Erskine starred for Winnemucca.
The lineups of the two teams were
as follows:
as follows:
Elko,-Porter center; Mayer and
Sutton, forwards; Fernald and Harris
Guards. Winnemucca,-Capt
Erskine, center; Bell, Callahan and
Cornell, forwards; Muller and Lille.
Guards.
In the first preliminary, the blue
team of the girls was defeated by the
reds by score of to 4. The stars
of the match were Miss Hanna. for.
ward for the reds and Miss Tyler for
the blues.
The second preliminary between
the whites and green's, two picked
town teams, was probably the most
interesting game of the night. The
boys were in fine condition and went
at the game in a manner which was
a delight to lovers of the open game.
In the second half, Capt. Bryant, who
had been playing a star game at CEN
ter for the whites suffered a sprain-
ed ankle and was forced to retire
from the game. The melee ended in
favor of the whites by the score of
IL to IL. Bryant and Ryan starred
for the whites and Thatcher for the
greens.
Alvin McFarlane and Prof. Ross of
the High School officiated at the con.
tests.

A LITTLE EARLY
FOR XMAS GIFTS

c. B. Armstrong, local stationer and
bookseller, is going around today
feeling as if someone had sent him a
Christmas present a month ahead of
time. His elation is explained in this
manner. Some months ago he had
consignment of books shipped here
and they with other merchandise
were stolen from a car near the Wes-
tern Pacific Depot. The offenders
were caught and imprisoned but no
trace was ever found of the books.
Mr. Armstrong had almost forgotten
the matter and considered them lost.
However yesterday, two Italians came
In his store and asked him If he had
ever found the stolen property. He
replied in the negative, whereupon the
Italians told him they were in the
grandstand at the baseball park. A
search revealed the fact to be true.
The guilty persons had opened the
case and, finding the contents value
less to them, had left them there.
books were undamaged by their ex-
posure to the weather and are in good
condition.

MANAGER JOHNSON +.
SHERLOCK COOK

IL takes gray matter to manage a
business concern like the Verdi Lum-
Der Co., business at this place. One
must not only be able to measure
lumber and figure the price, but he
must be able to read character like
book, trust and refuse to trust. be
diplomat and take a cussing, draw
plans and specifications, collect mon
ey from men who haven't any, and he
must be a good lawyer and a good
fellow. Manager Johnson is all of
these, and more, he is a a detective
OF no mean ability, as was proven a
few days since.
With the thousand other things he
handles bottled beer and he noticed
that certain barrel was being emp
tied faster than it was being sold.
He also noticed that one of his lab
orers was drinking more than was
good for him. With his wonderful
powers of deduction he put two and
two together and smelled a mouse.
Then he put some lamp black around
the top Of the barrel and soon he OBJ
served said lamp black on the gloves
and clothes Of the man who was
drinking too much Then he watch
ed closely and saw his man sneaking
around repeatedly where the beer
was stored and coming back with his
pockets bulging. Then he put two
and two together again in his own
good way and made twenty-five, so
he secured a sawed off shotgun, a
magnifying glass, a pair of handouts
and an Oregon boot, and secreted him
self behind broom, and laid in wait.
His patience was soon rewarded for
his man soon appeared on the scene
and proceeded to fill his jumper front
with bottles of beer. Then the man
ager stepped from behind the broom
and said, that's twenty-five bottles,
and Its twenty-three for you, skid
doo."
They then proceeded to the mana
gers office where the price of twen-
ty-two bottles was deducted from the
fellows salary, and he skiddooed. He
soon returned however and said that
his curiosity had gotten the best of
him and he wanted to know just how
the manager knew he had snitched
twenty-five bottles. The manager
simply replied that he had put two
and two together.

A MAN BELIEVED TO BE MIXED
UP IN THE CASE, iNvEs-
TiGATIoN is STARTED

The young and comely wife of Earl
Owens is missing today and the de-
serted husband is almost in despair.
He does not know whether his wife
has taken her life, as she intimated
that she intended to do in a letter. or
has simply deserted him and departed
for parts unknown. He believes how
ever, that it is the latter, and is most
charitabl Elm his expressions relative
to the affair. Mr.. Owens first missed
his wife yesterday noon when he went
home to dinner. He started a search
Immediately but all that he found was
letter in which she said she was
going to the hot hole" west of town
and drown herself and she told him
goodbye forever. Investigation, how
ever. showed no signs of her having
gone there, and inquiry was made at
the ticket offices. 1t was found that
ticket for No. 10 had been sold to
ogden presumably for her and a fact
which is believed to be of significance
is that a certain man made inquiry
or the agent about a Pullman berth
to Ogden on the same train on which
Mrs. Owens is believed to have gone
Then there is the further fact that
Mrs. Owens had not sufficient funds
to buy ticket to Ogden, and where
she procured the same cannot be
learned. .
In speaking of his wife today Mr..
Owens said that she has been very
moody of late and he attributed the
same to the fact that she was in a
delicate condition. He said that she
had once before done the same thing
but after a short time returned and
happy family relations were resumed
and he believes that she will soon
again return to her home.
Mr. and Mrs. owens have two chill
dren, three and four years of age
which makes the affair more regret
