FOLLOWING ACQUITTAL,
LEFT JAIL AT ONCE

Immediately following her acquittal
of a charge of assault with intent to
commit robbery, Ruth Reed. who has
been confined in the county jail at
Reno since July a., took her depart
ure from the court house without
saying where she was going except
that she intended to engage a room
in a local lodging house, as she did
not want to spend another night in the
prison.
After bidding the attendants at the
Jail goodbye and thanking them for
the kindness they had shown her dur
ing her enforced stay as their guest.
she walked out into the night and was
swallowed up in the darkness. Next
day she was seen on the street, but
il could not be ascer tanned what her
future intentions are. as to whether
she will remain in Reno or go else
where. Her trunks are still at, the
county Jail, and are said to contain a
war drobe that could not be duplicated
for $4,000.
1t took the jury only three hours
to reach a verdict in Miss Reed s

HOBO GIRL DRAWS ON
HER IMAGINATION

Our readers Will remember the hobo
girl who passed through Elko several
weeks ago, giving the name of Miss
Madison. as at that time we gave her
considerable mention. An article in
the San Francisco Examiner of yes
terdays issue credits her with an in
terview given in Chicago, where she
tells the police of that place many ex-
citing stories, the scenes of which are
laid in Nevada. She says that she shot
a man and two coyotes in Nevada, and
rode several hundred miles in a box
car. and then goes on to say that she
was arrested in Elko and that she shot
the sheriff through the leg.
She was taken from a Western Pa
cific boxcar at this place, and instead
of putting her in jail, Sheriff Harris
took her to his home where Mrs.
Harris took her in charge. She was
without underclothing, and was poor
ly shod. Mrs Harris bought her a
complete outfit of clothing. treated
her as an honored guest, and after
several days bought her a ticket to
Ogden and gave her letters and mon
ey Miss Madison wrote TO Mrs. Har
ris from Ogden and said that the Of
ficers there We're sending her on east
end that she would next be in Chey-
enne. A pair of shoes that Mrs. Har-
ris had bought her here and which
she had forgotten were sent to Chey-
enne, together with a friendly letter.
but the package was never called
for
The people here know that her
story is false. as Sheriff Harris has
never been shot through the leg, and
there is no doubt but the girl is an
imposter and makes her way through
the country imposing on the officers,
aa in Chicago they gave her $25 and
a ticket on east. She worked the sher-
if here for a ticket, and at Ogden
put over the same trick. She told
the Free Press reporter at the time
she was here that she had not slept
i'm bed since she left San Francisco
until Sheriff Harris took her TO his
home, and told Of her associations
with hobo gangs along the line

Ben Trembath. who is here in Elko

last night from his wife at Divide.

had an exciting experience with a
mad coyote. She and Der sister. Miss

to enter the tent. The women
screamed and hurriedly closed the

running up. When he saw the animal
he ran to his tent and. getting his

Deaths ON the Highways.

During the first six months OF the
present year there seems to have been
an alarming increase in the number OF
deaths and accNents on the public
highways. This increase is not con-
fined TO any character. For instance,
the fatalities due to automobiles In
New York state increased from 1873 in
1914 to 241 this year. In New Jersey
during the same period there were 4s
deaths and this year So. Population
grows and so does the number of
vehicles in use on the highways. but
neither are sufficient to account for
this unreasonable increase OF deaths
on the highways. Drivers and pedes-
trians both have their rights. but the
observance of ordinary care on the
part of the man In the vehicle and the
man on foot would undoubtedly cause
a big decrease in the number OF avoid
Hble deaths.-Philadelp Inquirer

and returned to the telegraph office,
where they turned in a fire alarm.
By this time the flames were bursting
through the opening in the sides of
the car. The conductor was unable

sion of the staff in that block. The
fire communicated with the sheds and
