Allie Ross, a young nan we'll
known in Carson. met with a very
painful accident there. While en-
gagged in washing a transom. the step
ladder upon which he was standing
began to topple over. Finding him
self falling. he grabbed for some
thing. his fingers catching between
the outside frame of the transom and
the jamb of the door. There he
hung momentarily until his weight
overcame the resistance of the finger
and he fell to the floor, the finger be-

BURGLAR BCRKE'S
BUNGLED BREAK

succeeded in getting as far as within
a half mile from town when appre-
hended by Captain Burke of the state
police.
had injured his hand a few days ago
while working in the blacksmith shop
at the prison farm. and it is feared
that blood poisoning has set in, as the
hand had swollen and infiamed and
there is a large lump under his arm
and some are of the opinion that this
has caused a temporary demented
condition. He is reported to have
made threats before leaving the farm.
but did not carry any of them out.
Shortly after he had made his es-
cape Superintendent Leide discovered
his absence and on trying to tele-
phone to the prison and state police
discovered that the wires had been
cut. The repairs were easily made
however as Burke had merely cut the
wire and they were easily spliced
again and the state police notified of
the escape and tracked him to where
he vas hiding in the %sagebrush near
Carson.
He had made directly for the
Schulz ranch, talked with the men
there and then headed for town by
the main road.
AS the prisoner is in a very critical
condition and may lose his life from
effects of the blood poisoning it is not
believed that he will be punished for
his attempted break until in better
health.
Burke is about 80 years of age and
is serving a sentence of two and one
half years for burglary committed in
Elko county.

E MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
AFFAIR NEAR SPARKS.

With two bullet wounds in his
body. one in his mouth and another
in his right wrist, George Geiger.
assistant superintendent and train
master for the Southern Pacific COM
pany at Sparks, is lying in a preca-
rious condition at ST. Mary's hospital
as a result of a mysterious shooting
Monday night at the Collins ranch,
half a mile west of Kicks roadhouse.
Ruth Reed, is the woman who, ac-
cording to Geiger's statement to
Sheriff Ferret. did the shooting.
Geiger is reluctant about giving
any details of the affair and refuses
to tell anything that might lead to
the apprehension of the woman.
Sheriff Ferrel searched the scene of
the shooting and found where the
woman had jumped an irrigating
ditch her tracks leading toward the
river from that point.
Geiger says he and Ruth Reed left
Kicks roadhouse about one o'clock
intending to go to %Laughtons.
They were in his automobile.
When they reached the Collins ranch
the woman asked to get out of the
car She disappeared between two
haystacks. He waited some time
and she failed to return.
Becoming alarmed. he left the ma
chine and went to look for her. He
says that as he stepped around the
haystacks he saw Ruth Reed stand
ing there. She held a pistol in her
hand and he was greeted with a
fussilade of shots. She fired four
times, all the bullets striking the
mark.
From this stage on Geiger refused
to give any information about the
Icrawled to Kicks roadhouse. From
thence Sheriff Ferret was telephoned
to and brought Geiger to town. The
sheriff sent the wounded man to the
Sisters hospital and he was received
at that place shortly after two
O'Clock.
DR.. A. Parker Lewis. who is at
tending Geiger. says that unless
complications set in the patient will
pull through all right. One bullet
went through the hip and another

the nose.
Geiger has been at Sparks for the
last 1S months. He is an old rail-
road employe and has immediate SUI
peryision over trains running east of
Sparks. His wife died about three
months ago.
OF Ruth Reed nothing can be
learned other than she is believed to
be a resident of San Francisco.
Ruth Reed, alias Minnie Wright,
alias Maisie Duncan. the young wom-
an who George Geiger, the young
superintendent of the Southern Pa
cific. says shot him at a place near
Kicks roadhouse Monday night, was
arrested Wednesday morning by
Policeman w. o. Thompson. as she
emerged from the house at $50
North Virginia street, where she has
been rooming.
She is said to admit that she was
out with Geiger, and the latter identi-
fled Wednesday afternoon wher
she was taken to st. Mary's hospital
to his room.
Hello Ruth" he said. Then he
turned to Green and Burke and in
the presence of a nurse and one oil
the sisters, said: THAT is Ruth
Reed. She is the woman who shot
me-"
The police say robbery was the
motive and they base this charge on
the fact that Geiger. whose wife died

about the shooting. He said wheT

Latin for things to be done. This
sterling little monthly ii full of good
things for students -that N. for boy
students, and we really do not think ii
will hurt girls at all to read II.
This is not mathematical monthly,
but we have found some figures IN it
that are decidedly interesting. III any
boy is thinking Of leaving school before
he has completed q thorough education
he ought to mediate upon the following
graphic facts. The average yearly In
come Of the educated man ii 81 900. In
forty years he earns $40 900. The ayer-
age yearly income Of the nneducated
man is $3.50. In forty years be earns
SIS, 900; SAC, goo minus Sls, 900 equals
S22 900, the difference between the earn
ings of the educated and the nneducated
man. This, we take ID, represents, 80
far as IL goes, the value Of an education.
To obtain this education requires twelve
years Of schooling, nine months per year
or 2,l60 days; s22, 900 divided BY Z, LEO
equals approximately SO, which Is the
money value ct each days schooling and
training.
A boy fourteen years Of age may be
supposed TO earn 4 week; sixteen
years, IS; eighteen years, ST.; twenty
years, $3.50; twenty-five years, si2;
twenty-five years. s13; all the above sup
posing he leaves school at fourteen years
of age, when he has finished the gram
mar course. His total earnings at the
end of the twenty-fifth year are SIS, 100.
owsuppose he goes TO high schooland
stays there until be ID eighteen years Of
age. His weekly earnings then may be
supposed to be SO at twenty years; SIS
at twenty-five years, $50 al twenty
three; $24 at twenty-four; and 1T twen-
ty-five years, $50. His total earnings at
the end Of twenty-five years win be
81 $50. Therefore the income for the
twenty-fifth year, dpeto the value of the
four years in high school, viii he 1884
mere than ii would have been il the
boy had left school at fourteen. SO the
increased money value due to the four
syear In high school Is equal to an in-
vestment Of SIT $50 at 8 per cent.
Young man, do you know Of any way
in which you can increase your perrna-
nent capital more than this?
Well, take another look at the wage
proposition.
At twenty-five years Of age the ura-.
skilled laborer earns $40; at thirty-two
years OF age he earns 1920.
At twenty Two years of age the shop
worker earns si3. 90. Mt thirty two years
of age he makes $3.50.
The man who has been trained in an
industrial or trade school makes SIT q
week at twenty-five years Of age; at
thirty-two years, s25. The man trained
ID i technical school makes a. twenty
