was quite woeful.

Certainly, madam. I'm glad to-"
answered the young lawyer, stung by
the thought that this beautiful young
woman could possibly have been mis-
treated by her husband. He was also
conscious of a sinking of the heart at
the thought that she was married, fol-
lowed by as rapid an elevation. He
would win that case.

New Fire Peril.

Birds carrying matches to their
nests under the caves OF a college
building in New York we're blamed
for fire starting. The new art of
fire prevention would preferably place
the blame on the human agency which
left such dangerous little weapons as
matches where the birds could find
them to carry them to the caves.

..CABIRIA"

The story of "Cabiria,' THE
Spirit of the Flames) opens in Catana
in Sicily, in the third century, B. c.,
Immediately after the close OF the
first Punic war.
The picture is one of the most
picturesque and wonderful ever pro-
duced. The opening scenes are laid
at the base of Mt. Aetna, the troub-
lous volcano, which suddenly becomes
active. Lava, in a molten stream,
pouring down the rugged sides of
Aetna, leaving devastation and de-
struction in It's path and carrying all
before it like an avalanche. strikes
terror in to the hearts of the natives.
The life-like statues of the gods,
Apollo Belvedere, Jupiter, Vulcan,
Hercules, with their fair consorts,
Juno, Venus, Minerva, and Aphro-
dite, shorn of the pedastalled thrones,
were humbled in the dust to do hon.
age to Aetna. Throughout is a story
of love and courage. At the Bio,

WILL s|GMBOARD ROUTE
ELY TO Los ANGELES

Frank NJ. Jordan. chief engineer
of the Southern California auto
club arrived Thursday night from
los Angeles to commence the task Of
placing the road signs of the club
along the route from Ely to the city
of Angels. Mr.. Jordan expects to en-
ter upon his new assignment tomor-
row morning. He is bent upon the
early completion of the task assign
ed him for the guidance of the first
summer cross country tourists.
1t is quite likely that the first sisn
will be placed al the Northern corner
and the road mapping leads over the
hurry Greek summit toward White
River. Visitors who desire to wit
ness steam shovel operations at Cop
per Flat will have the opportunity.
as a suitable sign will be placed at a
cross road near the summit. The trip
can be made without the loss of much
time.
The auto club has been furnished
with a converted Packard truck for
signing work by Earl c. Anthony,
Packard distributor in Los Angeles.
Cactus Kate" was regarded as N
suited for the work of carrying signs
and posts for their mounting. The
Packard has been in use as a service
wagon for seven years and has a
eled more than 100000 miles.
The new signs are attractive, and
are heavy enamel on steel. The
broad white band in the enter car
ries arrows indicating the direction
and distance to Ely and the nearest
of importance. The signs bear
the legend Midland Trail on the red
band at the top of the sign. The
signature of the auto club appears on
the blue band at the bottom.

SOME MIxuP HERE

The young men from the town that
boosted of strenuous days in 1917
suffered once again last Monday aft
O They lost to the smelter
team 20 to Z. They surrendered to
once of the worst beatings known in
local annals.
The invaders from Phoebe were
compelled to be satisfied with second
IN because only a few members
of the team were registered against
the losers during their brief visit at
the home of the smoke eaters.
The outcome of the battle of Wat
erloo was nothing compared to the
defeat that they sustained on foreign
soil. Whenever the horsehide APP
peared in their neighborhood some
person wearing 4 Phoebe uniform
would knock it higher, thither and
Won, and it would be left IN a coma
lose state because a resouing party
was summoned. Cook. Fox and
Faust were the only members of the
visiting delegation whose records
were free from blemishes.
The smelter crowd was not long
in getting started. pulling ten mara
thons in the first two frames. There
was not a single inning that some in
Gividual from McGill did not make a
complete circuit. The sluggers fell
upon the unwary ones like a pile of
brick upon the unprotected. When
the gong sounded the end of hos
t~ilities, the short enders realized that

YOUNG MAN is CHARGED
WITH SERIOUS OFFENSE

Incensed because he had beer dis
missed fom the employ of the Neva-
da Northern Railway company several
weeks ago for the violation of rule
G., which forbids any person on the
payroll from frequenting saloons,
Robert Cunningham. engineer on the
main line passenger for four years,
was arrested last Sunday night in a
saloon at East Ely on the charge of
threatening the life of Master Me-
chanic II. Selfridge.
Cunningham. it is claimed, held up
the master mechanic in a spectacular
at the point of a gun in the
railroad yards and threatened to
shoot him.
The gun weilder was taken into Gus
tody by Sheriff Grain and lodged in
the county jail. He was released
Monday afternoon upon furnishing a
bond for his appearance in the jus
tice court tomorrow in the sun oil

Fearing that Cunningham, who hal
a felony charge hanging over him
might attempt TO leave the district
his bondsmen delivered him into th'
hands of Sheriff Grain Friday night
The defendant will be given a pre-
liminary examination in the justice
court tomorrow afternoon.
The Nevada Northern has beel
making a determined effort for sew
eral months to enforce Rule G ant

1885 a day and SIS cents an hour
overtime.
The members of the council dis
cussed the advisability of construct
ing 1000 feet of sidewalk on Murry
street near the Moller residence, and
a similar walk 2840 feet in length
on Lyons venue but definite action
was deferred until the meeting to-
morrow night. City Engineer Willard
reported that it would cost $1S5.5o
to build the walk from Lyons avenue
to a point on the bridge crossing h
street in Central Ely, while the ex-
pense involved in sidewalk improve
ments on hurry street would not ex-
coed 500.
The low estimates are due to the
fact that the city authorities can OBJ
tain the required amount of gravel
from Joseph Dugan for 25 cents a
yard, provided the material is moved
away without delay. This includes
the spreading of the gravel at the
point desired. In years past the city
has been compelled to pay Is cents a
yard for gravel, when the occasion
required its use in large quantities.
Mayor Witcher advised the council
that the city treasury was in a de-
pleted condition. and that financial
relief would be necessary shortly. He
informed his associates that the Ely
National bank of which he Is presi-
dent had been l~oaning the city money
at I per cen interest. Mr.. Witcher
declared that he was willing to con-
tinue the accommodation. He asked
the finance committee to ascertain If
they could not obtain better terms.
The members expressed complete
satisfaction at the offer rendered
them by the head of the city govern
mnt.
The application OF John BETH for a
retail liquor license for the Copper
King saloon was approved by the
council, provided his request was
looked upon with favor by the county
authorities. John Macart appeared
as a bonosman for the applicant.
The city engineer stated that he
had not received certain necessary
information in regard to Tarvia, "A
street dressing, which the council
were figuring on using, 1t is claim
ed that the product will allay dust

FARNswOR1H AWARDED
SPR|MKl|NG CONTRACT

The cost of sprinkling the streets
in Ely during the present season
will cost less than for any previous
period since the Incorporation of the
worth, who has held down an as
signment of that nature for the last
three years, submitted a bid of $4.95
for a nine-hour day. His contract
for sprinkling last year called for the
payment of 81 a day. Mr.. Farms
worth will receive 50 cents an hour
overtime. The successful contractor
will receive no pay from the mu-
nicipality on rainy days, when
sprinkling is not required.
The competition for the privilege
of riding on the s%prinkling wagon
was keen, nine estimates having been
submitted to the city council last
Monday night as follows: Lawrence
Zunino, 1915 for each day when
sprinkling is required and so cents
an hour overtime; John Pescio, 1915
a day and 95 cents overtime; w. T.

Moline Destroyed by Blaze
Books and Furniture Lost.

The L. III. Magill garage, Fifty-third
street and Fifth avenue, Moline, was
burned to the ground last evening by
a fire OF unknown origin. The blaze
which had evidently beeen smoldering
for some time. was discovered shortly
after 1875. By the time the depart
ment arrived on the scene the build
ing was enyeloped in flames.
Discovery Of the FIRE was made by
neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs Magill being
out Of the city The building was one
story high and was built to accommo-
date one automobile. In the garage
was stored furniture, books and piano.
Damage to furniture and books
alone viii amount to more than $500,
while the garage will have to be re
built. Due to the absence of Mr.. Ma
gill from Moline it was impossible to
ascertain the exact value Of the books
and furniture which were consumed
by the flames. The piano was one Of
more than ordinary value.
