DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
IN STARR VALLEY
Elmer Goodale's Right Hand Blown
of BY Stick of Dynamite While
Blasting Stumps

Elmer Goodale. one OF the well
known young men of Starr Valley
met with a most distressing accident
yesterday afternoon while blasting
stumps on the ranch OF C. H. Black.
stick of dynamite exploded in his
right hand completely blowing off that
member.
Young Goodale, with Mr.. Black and
his son. started out yesterday morn
ing to blast out lot OF stumps in Mr.
Blacks meadow. They had finished
the work all but one stump which
was the closest one to the house
Goodale proposed that he blast this
one and started out TO do So Mr..
Black and his son were engaged in
gathering up the blasted stumps
about two hundred yards away when
they heard the explosion, and looking
up they saw Mr.. Goodale rolling On
the ground. His hat was blown full
ly twenty five feet in the air They
ran toward him and soon he started
toward them on his hands and knees.
He was badly dazed when they reach
cd him. They hurried him home where
he was temporarily cared for. and last
night he was brought to Elko. He
was taken TO the county hospital and
amputation was made above the wrist.
Strange as it may seem he lost. but
little blood.
Mr.. Goodale said that he was making
hole in the dynamite with a small
stick. preparatory to inserting the cap.
when the explosion occurred. 1t is
strange that he was not otherwise in
jured, as the explosive was held close
day.

GOOD GAMES AND
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Eiko Boys Win From Metropolis and
Lovelock Girls Win from EIko
Freshies Beat Sophs

A large crowd of loyal Elko peo-
pie were out to see the very interest
ing basketball games last night. En-
thusiasm was great and all enjoyed
the games, especially the one between
the Metropolis and Elko boys.
The Elko boys showed excellent
team work for an early season game
and clearly outplayed their opponents
at all stages Of the game. Still II
must be admitted that the visitors
showed up much stronger in the last
part of the game. Al first they were
somewhat dazed by the fast passing
of the local boys. For Elko. their
were no individual stars, all members
of the team working together with lit
tie spectacular playing of the grand
stand kind. This is a good sign and
it is hoped that with few weeks
more of good hard work the local boys
will be able to hold their own with
any teams in this district The final
score was "a to Is.
The Elko girls lost to Lovelocli in
a very well played game. The Love
lock girls have been playing together
for three years and have one of the
fastest teams OF the state. In fact
they claim that they are going TO win
the championship of Nevada this year
1t was not 10 be expected that the To-
cal girls should win from them this
early in the season Local DeODle
were gratiied however at the showing
they made. The final score was 2S TO
10 in favor of Loyelock.
The Freshies won from the Sopho
mores to the score of 19 to IL in very
scrappy preliminary game.
