BASKETBALL NOTES
HIGH SCHOOL p; ALUMNI IA.
s;ssss:sss;ssssseeeeees:e

The local high school basket
ball team won it's initial game
against the Alumni team We'd
nesday evening. Basket ball is
something new in the athletic
activities of the high school this
year and there is plenty ofenthu-
siasm and pep both on the part
of the team and the student body.
The initial game served it's pur-
pose. 1t showed the school team
a few of their DEFICIENCIES and from
the gate receipts showed that the
game has the support ofenough
to make it worth while.
In the first half the two teams
tied with a score of s and 8. but
with a change of line and tactics
in the second half the school boys
cinched the game with a score of
21 to IA.
1t was good practise game
for the team and a score OF only
seven points difference is no dis
credit to the Alumni who, until
that evening had not played to-
gether for years.

Wound Deputies -Evaded
Posse of Militia and Still at
Large.

The Dorahue saloon at Starks,
near Rhinelander, was robbed by
three Kentuckians last Tuesday
night. In attempting to arrest
the men two Oneida county dep

A posse OF militia and citizens of

RHINELANDER So; E. H. S. 20

RHINELANDER So; E. R. H. S. 20.
Friday evening the high school
team went to Rhinelander and
met defeat at the hands of the
school over there. The final score
of 20 to Sc was much better than
had been hoped for by the locals
and considering the fact that
Eagle River scored two more
points than their opponents did
in the last half, it might be a
fair assertion to state that had
the bows had greater confidence
and a little better knowledge OF
Rhinelander's tactics in the early
part of the game, the result un-
doubtedly would have been more
favorable. However it was the
locals first attempt with an out
side team and as such, brought
home to them much about bas-
ket ball that could not otherwise
be gained. The team made a
good showing at Rhinelander
and it is hoped that a return
game can be secured at an early
date.

MAYER SAYS THAT
WILLARD IS WINNER

Charley Mayer. who has extensive

took up ranch several years ago.
Mayer had with him some beauti.
tul ore specimens from property he
has under lease and he placed them
on exhibition here.
Speaking of the camp he said:
The new district, in my opinion,

The district is an evidence of gold
deposition. l never was in district

Greek Meets With Distressing
Accident

Mike Yallison, a young Greek, en-
poyed by the Tonopah Belmont De-
velopment company, was the victim
of a frightful accident yesterday
afternoon shortly before 3 o'clock.
That it was due to his own careless.
ness and failure to obey instructions
does not relieve his suffering in the
least. He was tamping hole with
drill steel, which is contrary to reg
uations, when the concussion set off
the dynamite. The drill struck him
glancing blow in the forehead,
crushing in the frontal bone and ex-
posing the brains. The blast broke
both his eyeballs, rendering him
hopelessly blind. A superficial inju-
ny to the body was also sustained.
The unfortunate miner was taken
from the place of the accident and
rushed to the Mine Operators hos
pltal. An operation is the only
hope of saving his life, the removal
of the crushed bone and inserting a
silver plate. He was taken to Reno
today. The operation will be per-
formed tomorrow. Whether Yallson
lives or dies, the State Industrial In
surance commission will pay 1000
either to him or to his surviving rel
atives. In the mean time the State
and Mine Operators association will
spare no expense to save his life, al
though it will be impossible to re-
store his eyesight t-Bononza.
