COLONEL WALL FILES SUIT
AGAINST GIROUX COMPANY

Col. Enos A. Wall of Salt Lake
has filed suit in the United States
court at Carson City against the CT
roux Consolidated Mines company
and its directors. The complaint
charges mismanagement of the af-
fairs of the mining company. Thos
F. Cole and his associates are charg-
ed with having inaugurated a plan to
depreciate the value of the Giroux
property, which Colonel Wall claims
has value of $4,000, 900. 1t is
claimed that the depreciation of the
property is sought in order that q
sale may be made to the Nevada Con-
solidated. The complaint prays for
an injunction restraining those now
in control from disposing of the prop
erty or any portion of it, and further
that receiver be appointed. A tenn
porary restraining order was issued
by Judge Harrington and service was
made on Messrs. Nagle and Dougall
as agents of the company at Kimber-
ly on the oath. This order was made
returnable on October 1st. but as the
matter could not be heard by the
court on that day, it was continued
until Novmber s, when argument will
be made before Judge Harrington,
who will thereafter determine wheth-
er or not the temporary order shall
be made permanent and a receiver
appointed.

Tag! You're it!
Boom Benefit for
the Boys Band

Some member of the Boys band Is
sure to tag you before next Wednes-
day night and when he does, of
course you will wear your tag as
conspicuously as possible to help the. .
boys along. When you arrive at the
Bio hall on the night of the sixth
you will feel well repaid for any in
terest you may have shown in such
a worthy cause as the benefit dance.
Mayor Witcher. Proprietor Elliott
of the Northern and Marshal Enslow
have been working night and day
getting things in readiness for what
promises to be the greatest and per-
haps only event of its kind ever held
in Ely. Our Boys band Is now one
of the best musical organizations in
the state. and so much has been ac-
complished that the management
earnestly hopes to see all mothers
show an active interest in this bene-
fit dance, the proceeds of which will

tags sold by the boys at 81 each will
admit the wearer to the hall where
an excellent five piece orchestra will
furnish the dance music while the
promenade music will be furnished
by the Boys band. The hall will be
beautifully decorated, and this fea-
ture will be added to during the eve
ming by cleverly conceived scheme
of stretching wires through the hall
over which attractive serpentine will
be thrown by the merry throng Re-
freshments will be served. while
flower, candy. serpentine. lemonade
and many other booths will be in
charge of different prominent wom-
en- in the district. Among the many
features to be found at the booths
will be a prize cake baked and do
mated by Proprietor Schmittroth of
the Ely Bakery. who. with all his
skill, after putting in every good
thing that goes to make a delicious
cake. has dropped somewhere therein
five dollar gold piece. While all
who are fortunate enough to secure
piece of the cake will be lucky, the
one drawing the slice containing the
gold coin will be singularly fortu-
nate.
While space will not be permit the
mentioning of the many features one
great attraction which the manage
ment at this time has every hope of
securing, is the services OF Madam
DeClair. a fortune teller OF interna-
tional fame. Madam neClair has
about completed a very successful en-
gagement at the Exposition in San
Francisco, where she told of the past
and outlined the future of the most
prominent people In the world. II
is hoped that this gifted woman will
arrive in Ely not later than Wed
nesday evening. in which event many
will have an opportunity to consult
her at the benefit dance, after which
she will continue on her journey
eastward.
Don't miss the chance of lifetime.
Visit the greatest attraction ever pre-
sented in western city and at the
same time help along our Boys band
OF which we are all SO proud.

STRANGE FARM PRODUCTS .s
8: 49, EXHIBITED AT FAIR

San Francisco, May 25.-Histori-
ans today were interested in the
queer crops from James Bellwood's
farm in Virginia which were on ex-
hibition at the Panama-Pacific ex-
position. The products of this farm
included several score Indian flint
arrowheads, a round shot fired from
the guns Of the Merrimac, a three
inch soft ,nosed shell hurled by Con-
federate cannon and imbedded in an
oak tree, and several bayonets, sa-
bres. and bullets. Before General
Washington was born Indians and
settlers fought battle on the site
of Bellwo0d's farm-hence the ar
rowheads, and in 1854 the battle of
Brewry's Bluff, waged there, caused
the deposit of other missiles. Numer-
Gus skulls and bones were also turn
ed up by Bellwood's plow, but these
were buried again in deeper graves
than the shallow trenches in which
they. first reposed. ~

NJ. & !. HALTS ROAD PLAN
Railroad Company Requests That
Taxes Be Abated Before Lease for
River Shore Drive is Granted.
COUNCIL REJECTS PROPOSITION

Plans for the establishment of a
road along the river from Third
street to the Nymore bridge were
halted at Monday evenings session
of the council when a letter was
read by P. J. Russell, city attorney,
from the Minnesota & international
railroad company demanding that q
tax abatement be granted before q
lease to the property would be
given. E. -
The taxes cover the cost of paving
Bemidji avenue, abutting the rail
road property, and amount to about
$1,70O. The offer was rejected.
At the present crossing there is
great danger of accidents and it was
believed that a new road would re-
duce the hazard Several accidents
have been narrowly averted. It Is
likely that the railroad will be asked
to place day and night 'switchman
at the crossing in order that pedes.
trians might be protected.

erty in Brant Case Fraudulent.
JUDGMENT SECURED IN IDAHO

Judge Wright today filed his de-
cision in. the case of Villettia Brant
against Lowengart & company, in
which the court holds that deed,
given by Jennie J. Gable, formerly
"a. resident of this city, to. Villettia
Brant, her daughter, was not made
in good faith, but for the purpose of
placing the property beyond the reach
of the creditors of Mrs. Gable, and
that Lowengart & company, of Port
land, Oregon, properly attached the
property and sold it as the property
Of Jennie ]. Gable. Il 49,
The property involved is AS Min
nesota avenue, the former home of
Mrs. Gable. Mrs. Gable removed to
Lewiston, Idaho, in 1907, where she
engaged in the millinery business,
operating number of stores in that
state. In 1913 she became financial
ly involved, and Lowengart & COM
pany, creditor, obtained a judg-
ment against her in Idaho. They
brought suit here upon that judg-
ment, attached the property and
sold it on May 20, 1914, the year to
red emFzexpiring on MAY OF this

Of 800 Carlton ara Lincoln Dry.
WAS STRONG II ! CENTER

By a majority Of 500 the saloons
Of Polk county, one Of the states
strongest liquor centers, we're voted
closed as q result 81 s county option
election. AS had been expected,
East Grand Forks ana crookston, the
|only saloon towns, gave the "wets''
a. majority Of 794, but this was not
sufficient to overcome the vote OF
country precincts, all strong for pro-
hibition Two other counties, Carl
ton and Lincoln, 1.-THE latter dry by
35 votes) also went dry.
Thirty-two saloons and twelve
brewery distributing depots in East
Grand Forks; tWenty-one saloons
and two brewery distributing depots
in Crookston. and lone brewery in
each city, are affected by the vote.
The brewery stations must close i'm
mediately-the saloons in six
months. Both breWeries probably
will be closed.
In East Grand Forks, the vets won
by vote of about four to one, the
wet vote being 554, while the drys
polled but 1924.
In Crookston, the wets assumed a
lead of 364, the total vote being on
a basis of two to one. =.
With the elimination of the sa-
loon interests now a#certainty, in
stead Of possibility, business men
of both East Grand Forks and Crook
ston are studying more seriously the
probable effect. So
For East Grand FDrks the elimina-
ton Of the saloon Isl regarded with
more concern than 1t Crookston. It's
liquor interests really caused the es-
tablishment of the city of East Grand
Forks, nearly thirty years ago, and
during the many years of its exist
ence the city's saloons have retailed
between 100000 and $1,0O0,000
worth of liquor across the bars an
nually. In addition ]; to this, there
