"BILL'' ADDS NEW ONE
TD ..FIETY-SEyEN VARIETIES

The sport of fighting a ferocious
bulldog against an equally ferocious
badger was renewed In Ely on Mon
day evening last. 1t was announced
on the street during the early hours
of the evening that badger large
enough to kill any dog in the world
had been caputured and brought in,
and the sports Immediately set about
to arrange match. Jim Collins was
finally persuaded to let his prize bull
dog "Nev' go gainst the badger.
Old "Nev" has probably been the
hero of more badger fights than any
other dog in the world and betting
on the contest was naturally spirited.
Win Fulmer was so satisfied that the
badger would make short work of
the dog that he signified his willing
ness to bet all East Ely on the out
come of the fight. Tom Chambers
and Micky Breen were divided in
their opinion and wad of money
there changed hands. "Ole" Elliott
and Fred Leonard were firmly of the
opinion that the dog would win and
showed their gameness by betting
enough money on their favorite to
break a national bank. Hitchcock"
Hull was in charge of the Badger
while Collins was on hard to see that
his dog got fair show. The fights
We're pulled of and both were wit
messed by the largest and. most en-
thusiastic audiences ever gathered in
Ely. The badger was not closely ex-
amined after the contests, but the
bulldog did not show a scratch Con-
siderable difficulty was experienced
in selecting disinterested person to
pull the badger from the barrel ond
the honor finally fell to Bill" Prate,
the popular representative of the
Heinz 81 varieties. Rill admitted
after the fight that he now had a
new variety to add but would first
devote his time to disposing of his
overstoek of lemons

ELY GOOD ROADS MAN ATTRACTS
ATTENTION IN SALT LAKE CITY

y. ,. Hoag, the Lincoln highway
state consul for Nevada who made
trip over the route into Salt Lake
last Sunday morning as told in the
News, attracted the attention of those
Interested In getting the best road
across the desert between Ely and
Salt Lake, according to an article pub
ilshed in the Salt Lake Tribune.
The Lincoln highway can be
shortened more than tyenty-seyen
miles between Salt Lake and Ely by
going straight across the desert
from the county well to Clifton. The
route has been examined and found
to be feasible. A good read can be
lullt over the proposed route at not
to exceed $500 mile Furthermore.
since the route has been found to be
feasible, an eastern man stands ready
TO furnish the required money to
build the link as memorial to him
self.
These are few of the items of in
terest brought to Salt Lake yester-
day by q. s. Hoag of Ely" says the
Tribune.
: The section of the road in the Vi
einity of Fish Springs has never been
good and has perhaps been the SUBJ
Ject Of more discussion among good
roads men than any other spot along
the route. IL remained for Ely's
live wire to solve the problem. Mr..
Hoag's outline OF the new road met
with great favor in the Utah capital
and his suggestions will no doubt be
carried out.

SOLITUDE
FORSHUFFLEACT
REMAINS OF HORSE AND MAN
ARE MUTE EVIDENCE OF SUI
eide ON LONELY HEUSSER
MOUNTAIN.

John Myers. whose body was found
en- Heusser mountain about fifteen
miles from Ely. on Thdrsday last was
Undoubtedly tle vctm Of his own
hands. Myers who was for some time
employed by the Ginaopulos Bros. as
foreman on the Heusser ranch left
the Campbell ranch about the twen-
tieth of July. Nothing was heard of
him for many days. but as he had
SPOKEN about going to Ruby valley.
his friends did not fear for his safety.
About week ago, however, County
Commissioner ID. c.. Mcdonald. while.
looking over some mining ground dis
covered dead horse with saddle and
bride on. This discovery was made
in narrow canyon and in q spot
where no one except perhaps such q
thorough mining man as Commis-
sioner Mcdonald would ever visit.
Mr. Mcdonald brought. the saddle
and bride to Ely and Immediately
started an investigation with the
hope of finding the owner. c. M.
Lund was quick to identify the prop
erty as that of his friend Myers. A
searching party consisting of Coroner
n. w. Edwards Unl.r Sheriff jack.
son, Deputy McKernan. together with
Earl Davis. w. Jenkins and c. M.
Lund, three of Myers friends. left
Ely in the county car, with George
letter at the wheel and headed for
the spot where the discovery was
made by Commissioners Mcdonald.
When the body of the dead horse was
! reached the party institated a syste-
! matte and thorough search OF the
surrounding country with the result
thae the body of the unfortunate man
was discovered with bullet wound
in the right temple and a 3Scalibre
revolver lying by his side.
According to stories told by those
with whom he worked and associated,
Myers had not been in the best of
health mentally at least for some
time. About year ago It is said
that he made it clear to some close
friends that he contemplated suicide.
His friends did not take the matter
very seriously, and after reasoning
with the unhappy man felt that he
had abandoned the idea entirely. The
condition of the body when found,
together with the almost inaccessible
spot chosen by Myers on which to
commit his rash act, made It impossi-
BILE to bring the remains to Ely for
burial and Coroner Edwards per-
Dlitted it to be buried ON the
lonely mountain where Myers had
elected to pass into the great beyond.

Success of Labor's great celebra-
ton in Ely tomorrow is assured.
Chairman Drey and Secretary Rowan
have received excellent support from
the various committees and the good
work done by the gentlemen who will
be In charge of affairs is evidenced by
the fact that even after the regular
program was off the press their la
bors were continued with the result
thta there will be a great contest be-
tween three Safety First teams. This
viii be grand attraction and adds
much to the many big features as
already advertised The three
teams will be from the smelter. the
Mill and the Nevada Northern rail-
way. Sixty dollars will be awarded
TO the winning team while thirty do
lars will go to the team fortunate
enough to carry off seneond money.
That the drilling contests will be
spirited there is no doubt. Drilling
matches are essential to a real labor
day ceebration in mining communi-
tv and the men entered are all we'll
known as among the most expert in
that line. The teams for the double
jack contest will line up as~folows:
Billy Murphy and Joe Genola !;
Martin carrick and Miles Mandrich; /;
John Nanzonie and Jack Doyle
The committee in charge is still in
hopes that Lane Pearl. who is always
on the rock when there is any real
good drilling going on, will bring in
a team from Ward but this will not
probably be definitely settled until
some time tomorrow
In the single jack contest these
we'll known drillers will appear:

Bedinger and Brock had no hesitancy
in declaring the men insane and they
we're accordingly committed to the
Nevada hospital for mental diseases
by Judge McFadden. The state au

Cadra on account of the disease

his insanity. and as to whether he is
a charge upon the county or the state
has not yet been definitely deter

family became completely disabled
out in the middle of the desert be-
tween Orr's and Fish Spring, and
about six or seven miles this side of
the Salt Wen. The Shannons were
without water as we'll as necessary
supplies with which to make repairs
to their car. Mr.. Thaw furnished them
with the necessary supplies and gave
them sufficient water to tide them
over The following morning he
sent out an additional supply of wa
ter to the stranded family. Who were
then able to continue on their
journey.
Since leaving Pittsburgh. the
Thaw party has had but oen puncture
one blow out and some damage to
one wheel which occurred on a per-
fectly level piece of road and while
running in the track of another au-
tomobie. This was caused by water
having undermined the road and
when the heavy Packard car passed
over h gave away. causing the sight
mishap.
All the members of the Thaw party
pressed themselves as being delight
ed with their trip over the Lincoln
Highway and with the west in gen.
eral. Mr.. Thaw remarked that while
he missed the green trees which are
so abundant In the east. he thought
the climate In the mountains of the
west was ideal.
Both Counsellor Johnson and Con-
gressman Wharton expressed the
view that the Lincoln Highway
would prove of great benefit In de-
yeloping the western country by rea-
son OF the fact that so many men of
financial responsibility would pass
over It and could not help but observe
the great business opportunities
which the county presents. The
party continued On tuiousi Du''ho
to Reno. and expected to reach Lake
Tahoe by Thursday. After spending
a short while at that most beautiful
spot the journey will be continued to
San Francisco. where Mrs. Thaw will
join her son later.
Harry Thaw appears extremely well
and indeed looks well, considering
the frightful ordeal through which
he has passed for years. 1t does not
take a person with any better judg-
ment than Jerome to see that Thaw
is sane, and Jerome knew 1t, because
he repeatedly said so during his un-
successful attempt to convict Thaw
of the murder of Stanford White.
Had this same affair occurred in the
west 1t l. safe to say that Thaw
would have been liberated years ago
and a rigid inquiry would be made
as to the sanity of Little Willie
When asked as to his future plans
Mr. Thaw smilingly replied: Il am
on a vacation now and prefer not to
discuss business matters.
