QUICK WORK CAPTURES
HOTEL THIEF
B. F. Stone, Who Opened Trunks At
Mayer Hotel is Captured
In Utah

Some ten days ago, b. F. Stone, at
that time staying in Elko registered
at the Mayer hotel for a night Moth.
ing was thought of the man at the
time and he left the hotel the next
morning without attracting any at
tention. Subsequent events have
proved, however, that he was a busy
man the night he spent there and
with little more precaution would
have gotten away with very valuable
haul. Stone went at the matter in
the following way: The room lie oc-
cupied was number 223, in the new
annex and as that portion of the build.
ing Is not entirely completed, there
were some three or four trunks in
the hall next to Stones room tempo
rarily. Sometime in the night. Stone
dragged these trunks into his room,
one at time and calmly sawed the
locks off and took what suited him
"iu iSpihSihS "hdl want,
placed the trunks in the hall The re-.
suit was that he got possession of
nice bunch of clothing belonging to
guests of the hotel.
He decamped the next morning for
parts unknown and the theft was not
noticed until Saturday when an en-
animation of the trunks uncovered the
crime. The management of the hotel
and local officers Immediately got
busy on the case and with the aid of
an employe of the Western Pacific
railroad of this city, located the man
in Nolan. Utah, where he was at work
also for the Western Pacific. He was
placed under arrest at that place at
the request of the sheriff's office of
Elko and yesterday was brought back
here for trial. In his possession at
the time of his arrest was a portion of
the stolen clothes which were identi-
fed at once by the owners. Stone de-
MES his guilt but can give 10 reason
for the clothes being in his possession
He will be given a preliminary hear
ing this afternoon before Justice
Castle.

Of Week

j.. II. Reilly. former proprietor of
the Elk Cafe, and well known here as
a business man. has again taken over
the management of the popular eat
ing house and assumed charge Mon
day. Mr.. Reilly is we'll remembered
when he operated the Elk about a
year ago as his service was excel
lent and he numbered his patrons by
the score among the substantial citi-
zens of the city. He has announced
that the patrons of the Elk will re-
ceive the same courteous service as
formerly and at reduced prices. He
will give the best the market affords
and at such prices as can be afforded
by people of moderate means. There
is no doubt that the new management
will receive large patronage

CITY DUMPING
GROUND CREATED
~
County Commissioners Take Such Ac-
tion In Session This
-.... 81
Morning

An official ground for the dump
ing of refuse and waste from the city
Of Elko was created tits morning by
the county commissioners when the
matter was brought up before that
body. The place designated for that
purpose is across the river west of
Lamoille road, a short distance from
the city. Such action by the board is
commendable as heretofore there has
been no system about the dumping of
refuse around town and almost every
road leading into the city has been
made unsightly by tse. garbage strewn
around promiscuously.
Cleanliness naturally leads to health
fulness and if garbage and refuse is
scattered everywhere and anywhere
around city the size of Elko, it
will as a matter of fact be felt by
the residents of the town. If a
public dumping ground, such as Gre
ated by the board is put into use and
steps taken to see that the use there
of is forced 1T will mean a big step in
sanitary improvement of Elko.

WILLIAM ENGLERT
RENDERED APPOINTMENT

William Englert has been rendered
the appointment of member of the
county board of education to succeed
E. L. Caine whose term OF office has
expired. Mr.. Englert has not yet ac-
cepted the appointment but has stated
that he will do so as soon as the
board has accepted the high school at
Wells. The other two members Of
the board are A. w. Hesson and J. H.
Cazier.
The appointment of Mr.. Englert will
meet with general approval He is q
young man of ability, energy, and pro-
gressive ideas and as he takes active
interest in educational affairs he will
prove a valuable man on the board.
The retiring member, Attorney e. E.
Caine, has done more to advance edu.
cation in ElkO county than any per
son in II. II was he who first brought
the high school up to it's present high
standard, and much Is due to his eff
forts as member of the board that
the STANDARD has been maintained.
He has contributed more than his
share of time and energy in his years
of service. While we regret to see
him giving up the position, we are
pleased indeed to know that his place
will be filed by one as competent as
Mr.. Englert.

BRADLEY ANNOUNCES
A GREAT FEATURE

The management of the Bradley
Opera House has announced that on
tomorrow night, they will reproduce
the great Pathe feature, Sport and
Travel in Africa" The great picture
Is taken on the travels of Captain
Machin and party in the jungles of
the Dark Continent a synopsis of
which follows:
Captain Machin. in charge of the
Pathe expedition to the African jungle,
with his staff of camera men, guides
and sharp shooters. set sail from Mar
seilles and arrived at Alexandria,
Egypt, five days later. From there
they journeyed by easy stages to the
Nile, then met the first tribe of Afri-
can natives, the Sudanese.
The first catastrophe of the trip oc.
Cured with the death of the expedi-
tion's goat, which wandered to riv-
er and suddenly disappeared down
the throat of an alligator. The disas-
ter served to inform the explorers
that there was hunting at hand, and
in very short time they had bag
ged choice selection of the monster
alligator. Travelling inland. the ex-
plorers passed the spot. marked by
monuments. where Lord Kitchener
met the Marchand expedition in 1898.
Leopards, monkeys, lions and 9th.
er wild creatures peculiar to the reg
ion unknowingly posed before the
camera.
At Lake No. hippopotami were dis.
covered and hunt was Immediately
organized. Killing the hippos was an
easy task compared to bringing home
the prizes, some of which measured
thirteen feet and weighed nearly four
tons.
Next a vulture hunt was organized
and at a great risk a native was low
cred into the nest near the top of n
mountain. After an exciting battle in
mid air. he gave a signal and the
hunters helped him up with some fine
specimens of these gluttonous Great.
ures.
The party soon arrived on the
Abysslnlan frontier, and that night a
loud trumpeting revealed the presence
OF elephants near at hand. Early the
next morning hunt was organized,
and in short time several monster
elephants had fallen before the rifles
OF the hunters.
Having secured the Jungle from end
to end, the hunters faced about for
home, proud of the thrilling pictures
they had secured and congratulating
each other on the hair.breath escapes
from charging elephants and leaping
leopards which marked the trip
throughout.

GOVERNMENT STATISTICS GIVE COUP De
GRACE TO HIGH PRICE J|NGOES IN j. S.
MORE LIVESTOCK NOW IN THE COUNTRY

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 2.-For
the first time in many years, infor-
nation collected by the U. S. depart.
ment of agriculture shows that all
classes of live stock i'll the United
States are increasing in numbers.
Thus the real facts contradict abso-
lutely, sensational reports that prices
for meat and shoes would rise to un.
precedented figures in the immediate
future. II has even been said that a
government statistician predicted
meat at 30 cents pound and shoes
at $1,000 a pair within the next 2
years. Such a prediction, the real
government statisticians say. is quite
unwarranted.
On January !, for example. the num-
ber of beef cattle showed an increase
OF "a per cent over the number a
year ago, and an actual increase of l.
212,OOO head. Hitherto the number of
beef cattle in the United States has
declined steadily since 1910. There
are also more milch cows in the coun-
try than last year. the increase being
2.5 per cent, or in numbers $4,000.
Swine, however, showed the greatest
Increase of all classes--9.6 per cent.
On January l, 1914, there were only
58,933,000 swine in the country, on
January 1, 1915. 64,618. 900. This is
accounted for by the fact that the pro-
duction of swine can be increased
more rapidly than that of other class
cs of live stock and consequently an
enlarged demand can be met more
readily
The prediction of 50-cent meat and
S1O-shoes was accompanied by the
declaration that France alone has TAX
en- from America nearly 100000 hors-
es within the last months and that
the other countries at war have drawn
upon our resources in the same pro.
portion. The facts are that more hors-
es were on the farms of the United
States on January l, 1915, than there
were a year before, the increase be-
ing $4,000 head or IL per cent. So
far from France alone having taken
100000 horses from us, the total ex-
ports since the war began have GER
tainly been much less than 100000
and very likely not over $4,000 Since
there are approximately 25.000,00O
horses altogether in the United States
the drain on account of the war is
scarcely alarming.
1t is in fact pointed out by govern
