". 0. WILLIAMS DIES
At SALT LAKE CITY

Word was received here today that
w. o. Williams. for many years a
resident of Elko County. had died last
night at Salt Lake City. The deceas-
cd had been in Ill health for some
time but it was hoped by his friends
and relatives here that he would re-
cover, and the announcement of his
demise comes as a severe shock.
Mr.. Williams for a number of years
owned and ran the -four mill on the
South Fork, which several years ago
burned down. He was a man of ex-
empliary habits and was highly re-
spected and there are many who will
sincerely mourn his loss.
He was a member of the l. o. o. F.
order, and the funeral will take place
at Elko under the auspices of the To-
cal lodge.
A more extended notice will appear
later.

WRESTLING MATCH
BRADLEY TONIGHT

The wrestling match tonight at the
Bradley Opera House is attracting
wide interest and il promises to be
the most interesting affair of this kind
ever witnessed in Elko. Both wrest
lers have regulations to defend and ii
will be for blood from start to finish.
There is an interesting story con-
nected with the match. Stroh arrived
here about week ago on his way to
the Pacific Coast from Kansas City,
and announced that he would meet
any man regardless of weight. Miller
who was on his way TO the coast from
ST. Paul, learned in Salt Lake City
that Stroh was here and was looking
for match. AS they are expecting
to meet the same men on the mat in
Sar Francisco, the result of the matcn
tonight means much to both of them.
The winner of the match is to take
all OF the proceeds. and besides he
Will have the hest chance to secure
good matches in the Bay City.

JUDGE TABER
GRANTS DIVORCE

Judge Taber granted a divorce this
morning to Mrs. Alma Prentiss from
her husband Walter Prentiss. The
ground for the divorce was cruelty
This case has been in court since 1913.
when it was continued in the hope
that the couple might become recon
ciled. At that time Mr.. Prentiss
agreed to pay the attorney represent
ing Mrs. Prentiss, and to allow her
alImony of $50 per month until the
case was settled. He paid the attor-
ney but failed to pay the alimony as
agreed. In granting the divorce Judge
Taber allowed the plantiff alimony of
$50 per month since the case was con.
tinued about two years ago, and he
took under consideration the matter
of allowing permanent alimony.
The couple are from the Gold Circle
mining district.

A BAD BUNCH
HEADED THIS WAY

Pointing several revolvers at the
conductor and three brakemen on an
extra freight east bound, gang of
35 tramps Friday captured the train
at Floriston. There was a short strug.
gle, but the crew of railway men were
overpowered. Word was passed along
from Floriston, however, and ]. j.
Kelly the Southern Pacific special
officer for the division, was telephoned
for. He left Reno on a speeder and
caught up with the train before 1t had
pulled out. The train crew were still
struggling and the tramps were still
threatening to shoot when Kelly ar.
rived. The officer took the hoboes by
surprise.
ut will take the militia to put us
out of this" one Of the tramps yelled,
but well-directed blow from club
in Kelly's hands laid the spokesman
out and Conductor Lindsay, who was
handed club quickly by Kelly, be.
gan to lay about him, too. Kelly
drew his automatic and the tramps
were then put to flight The hobo

COMMISSIONERS
SECURE EXPERT

The Board OF County Commissioners
are to be commended for the manner
iE which they have taken up the mat
ter of overcoming the present defec-
tive condition of the Elko sewer sys-
TEN.
They are in conference today with
Louis c. Kelsey, one of the most
prominent sewer experts in the west.
who was brought here from Portland.
Oregon. Mr.. Kelsey with the men,
bers of the board spent the day in
looking over the situation, examining
maps, etc, and he stated to an Inde-
pendent reporter that he would prob
ably have his recommendations ready
to submit to the Board by tomorrow.
What his recommendations will be
were not intimated but 1t is under
stood that they will be quite extern
sive.
Mr.. Kelsey was for four years city
engineer of Salt Lake City, but for
the past three years he has been To-
Gated at Portland, Oregon.
Four years ago Mr.. Kelsey engineer
ed the construction of the sewer sys-
tenn of Winnemucca, and his worl,
there has proven most satisfactory.
Among the big undertakings which he
successfully put through were the
furnishing of plans and specifications
and supervising the work of construc-
tion of the Big Cottonwood concrete
aqueduct, seven miles long and cost
ing 100000, and the improvement of
the city distributing system of Salt
Lake City, costing $75O,00O. He also
furnished the plans and specifications
for the sanitary disposal of the sew
age of that city. He furnished the
the plans and specifications for the
disposal of sewage of a large number
or cities in Oregon, and Idaho, and
in this state for Las Vegas, Sparks,
and Winnemucca.
The commissioners will undoubtedly
act upon the recommendations of Mr.
Kelsey, and If they do II is safe to
say that the Elko sewer system will
be maintained at minimum expense
and at the same time will effective
ly dispose of the sewage.

To the Textbook Commission of

Whereas, The State Text Book
Commission will award the contract
for furnishing textbooks for use in

next four years in a short time; and
Whereas, That in the selection of

Whereas, In making this request
We are in no manner affecting the

Whereas, The awarding of con-

power of the iniquitous book trust
that has operated for years in this

ROME, May 26.-The Italian troops
have won a decisive victory over the

strip of the enemies frontier from
Lombardy to the Adriatic. Austrian

LONDON, May 26.-Austria has

promptly countered by throwing a

Thus, although Field Marshal Won
