RUTH BUSINESS SECTION

The business section of Ruth mar
rowly escaped a disastrous fire yes
terday, when blaze started in the
rear of the Campton Commercial
company's warehouse. The flames
were discovered about 4 o'clock. and
a general alarm sounded, the locomo-
tive whistles taking part In the
emergency chorus. Store employees
with chemical extinguishers lost no
time in getting efficacious streams on
the fire, and little later hose streams
of water were turned on. The fire
was quickly extinguished, the COM
combined damage from fire and water
being estimated to be about 5000.
It is believed the fire was the re-
suit of spontaneous combustion. or
it may have been started from
a lighted match carelessly dropped.
At any rate, the danger was quickly
eyerted by the prompt and efficient

DEFAULT ORDERED SET
ASIDE IN HERMAN
HULSE LITIGATION
INTERESTING TESTIMONY PROM
IsED WHEN SUIT BROUGHT BY
McGILL MAN AGAINST LOCAL
BROKER COMES TO TRIAL.

BY an agreement reached between
counsel for both parties and stip-
ulation filed in the office of Clerk
Oldfield yesterday, the default en-
tered by Plaintiff Max Herman in the
suit brought by him against E. w.
Hulse some time ago was ordered set
aside and the defendant was permit
ted his answer heretofore rendered.
The entry of default is a technical
matter and when made by Attorney
Chandler, representing Plaintiff Her
man a period of eight days had inter-
vened following notice by the attorney
for the plaintiff to the defendant that
at the expiration of six days such ao-
tion would be taken.
Following the adjustment of this
slight matter, Attorney Boreman, rep
resenting Defendant Hulse. immedi-
ately filed with the clerk of the court
the answer of his client. The local
broker admits that he struck the Nc
Gill man in the face. beat him upon
the head and knocked him about, but
denies all other allegations set forth
In the complaint filed by Herman By
way of justification and In mitigation
of damages to which Herman might
otherwise appear entitled, Hulse con-
tends. by his answer that the time he
assaulted the gentleman from McGill
and for period of time Immediately
prior thereto that Herman had
wrongfully. wantonly and malicious
ly, and with intent to injure the rep
ctatlon and business of Hulse as welf
as to extort money from him for his
silence. persistently and repeatedly
asserted to divers persons that Hulse
was insolvent that he was conduct
ing his brokerage business In an un-
lawful and dishonest manner. That
he was using the United States mails
fraudulently and in a manner which
the law did not sanction. That Of
ficers or officials of the United States
government had begun or were about
to begin the prosecution OF Hulse.
All this. according to the defendants S
answer, aroused in Hulse feeling of
anger. humiliation and resentemnt.
and under such feeling and influence
the defendant acted when the trouble
occurred.
Both parties to the action are vel,
known and highly regarded in the
community and the trial of the cause
is awaited with considerable int .est

TEN ARRESTS FOLLOW
KILLING OF SkLEFAs

Louis Sklefas. Greek. was victim
of a mysterious shooting accident at
McGill Wednesday afternoon, which
resulted in his death early the next
morning Sklefas was found lying on
cot in his bunk house. with bull
let wound in his head. He was re-
moved to the Steptoe hospital on the
afternoon train. but his injury was
such that he passed away at 1:45
Thursday morning. The county off,
GERS have conducted a careful inves-
tigation, and as result ten suspects
have been arrested who 1t is believed
could shed light as to how Sklefas
came to his death.
The suspicion of the officers Is that
Sklefas was the victim of some pro-
miscuous and careless shooting from
the front porch OF Baldy's boarding
house. which is situated not a great
way from the cabin occupied by Skle-
fas. 1t Is alleged there was shooting
of such a nature being INDUCED in on
the date in question, and 1t is MAIN
tained that shot thus fired went
through the wall of the Sklefas cabin
and found Judgement in his head as
he lay asleep.
The victim was a man we'll along
in years and had been in the employ
of the Nevada Con. company for the
past seven years. 1t is considered
unlikely that he had any enemies, or
that his death was planned with MUIR
oerous intent.
The funeral of Mr.. Sklefas will take
place at 2 O'Clock this afternoon al
the Wilson-Bates undertaking par
lors. conducted by Greek priest
from Salt Lake City. Interment in
the Ely cemetery.

DUNN AWARDED
DECISION OVER
FRANK C0NLEY
Fly FOLLOWERS OF THE MANLY
ART OF SELF DEFENSE ARE
TREATED no A GOOD ExHIBI-
TION.


The ten-round boxing contest in Ely
last night between Johnnie Dunn of
Reno and frankie Conley of McGill
proved to be splendid exhibition of
the game of hit, break and get away
Iand the followers of the game who
journeyed to Bio Hall to witness
the show were well paid for their
trouble.
Dunn was awarded the decision
over Conley by Referee Williams of
McGill and the decision met with gen.
'eral approval.
Coniey was first to enter the ring
and was well received by many
friends who were firmly of the opin-
ion that he would be able to take the
measure of the man who has so many
victories to his credit and who sur
prised even his most ardent admirers
by his splendid exhibition. in the ring
in Ely on the fifth of last July.
Dunn followed his opponent just
few seconds later and was well re-
Iceived- Before the principals appear
ed it was evident that more Dunn
men were willing to back their opin-
ion with their money than were the
followers of Conley and Dunn was
favorite at the ring side with but lit
tie Conley money in sight.
The ba,cD uuh;l> fo;r
should be expected for such an exhi-
bition as was assured by two such
men as had been brought together
and such attractions are deserving of
more liberal patronage by the
sports of the district. Such shows
must be encouraged in order to keep
the game up to the high standard set
by the events recently staged.
Lane Pearl acted as offIcial time
keeper for the club, while Jack
(Happy) Meagher held the watch for
Dunn. and Harnoung looked after the
interests Of Conley when in close
quarters as the end of each active
three minutes drew close.
The two men had agreed to make
las pounds and weigh in at 3
O'Clock. When the appointed time
came Dunn tipped the scales at 142.
while Conley was eight pounds heav-
Ter. or 5 pounds over the agreed
weight. Size makes little difference
to a man of Johnnie Dunn's calibre in
the ring. and he amused the by
ISLANDERS by assuring his worthy OPP
ponent that such mere tri1e as
eight pounds should not stop good
evenings enjoyment, and that he was
prepared to win If he was Obliged to
give away a ton.
Conley won the toss for the
gloves, and Announcer Lawrence
amused the audience by care
lessly tossing the dollar produced
by Red" Robinson out of the ring
as a slight donation to a worthy
cause. Red" intended that the dol
lar should be used in the toss to de-
termine the choice of gloves, but the
Kentucky Gentleman beat him to 1t.
The announcer had previously in
formed the audience that a canvas

Last Sunday the News in telling of

and the vote standing of the several
contestants, said Ruth is doing well
and may prove a surprise before the
close of the contest"
The above figures telling the story

Ruth did do we'll. although to
the many friends of the winner it is

prediction. and so it went. all tan

up to the support of the fair candi-
