To Secure Big
Card for Local
Fight DeO0tees

Eddie Duffy who has met all com
ers in the welterweight division from
New York to Salt Lake City, has ex-
pressed desire to fight Johnny
Dunn in Ely, and from present indi-
cations a match will be arranged be-
tween these two clever pugilists for
Saturday, November 9Th.
Red Robinson received tele-
gram from Jack Fredericks, Duffy's
manager, during the week stating
that Duffy would make Las pounds
and meet Dunn If terms could be
agreed upon. Dunn Immediately
wired Federicks that he would fight
Duffy at the weight and on a sixty
and forty basis. Duffy has made an
enviable reputation and since arriv-
ing in Salt Lake City has been a
headliner. He met Jess Day in fif-
teen round go, which resulted In q
draw, and return match was ar
ranged which took place in Eureka,
Utah last Friday night. This was =
twenty round go and last night, C.L.
Osterlund of the Ely Athletic club,
received wire from Duffy's mana
ger, saying: Duffy wins all the way
Accept match with Dunn. Letter
following"
From this we have every reason
to believe that this excellent card
will be presented here. Dunn needs
no introduction in this district, and
when opposed by a man of Duffy's
reputation II is safe to say that the
followers of the game will be treat
ed to one of the best exhibitions ever
staged in prize ring. Dunn has won
and successfully defended the title
OF welterweight champion of the Pa
cific coast. and it is hoped that he
will be given an opportunity to face
a top notcher from the Atlantic
coast. The Ely Athletic club has
staged excellent exhibitions during
the past few months. but this rare
card has been beyond the fondest
expectations of every fight fan in the
district. The match would undoubt-
edly be one worth travelling miles
to see, and while it is certain that
not follower of the game here
would miss such an opportunity 1t
would also seem certain that such q
card would draw many from the
outside.

NEVADA PIONEER PASSES
AWAY AT SALT LAKE.

p. H. Cannon, of Cherry Creek.
died in Salt Lake City last wednes-
day. Hemorrhage of the stomach
was the direct cause of his death.
Pete Cannon, as he was familiar
ly known In this vicinity, was per-
haps one of the best known and most
highly respected citizens of the State
of Nevada for upwards of thirty
years. He was closely approaching
sixty years of age and up to about
two years ago he was in the best of
health. He was a prominent figure
in the mining world in the days when
Cherry Creek was prosperous and
thriving mining community. He was
an energetic and conservative busi-
ness man and amassed fortune dur
ing his early manhood. When his
vigor started to decline a few years
ago. he disposed of most of his inter-
ests In Cherry Creek and purchased
a residence in Salt Lake City. He
has spent most of his time in Salt
Lake and San Francisco, but change
In altitude did not seem to restore
his former energy and good health.
While his physical condition was not
good for the past two years, it was
not until two days before his death
that his family became alarmed and
he was removed from his apartments
in Salt Lake hotel to hospital,
where his condition was found to be
critical. Everything known to medi-
cal science was resorted to, but all in
vain and our good old friend was
marked by the dark hand of death.
Born in Ireland, Mr.. Cannon was
brought to this county by his parents
when he was only six years of age.
Like many other young men of ener-
gy and ability he was attracted by
the opportunities presented in the
west. and in the springtime of his
manhood he left the city of Boston
Nhcic nio iduiliy udu otttltu anu
took up his residence in Nevada. He
was one of keen judgment and his
advice on matters of business affairs
was frequently sought by all who
knew him. His reputation for hon
esty and integrity was beyond re-
proaeh. His kindly and benevolent
nature endeared him to all with
whom he came In contact. and no
citizen could be taken away whose
death would cause greater or more
profound sorrow. than that of Pete
Cannon. The funeral will take place
in Salt Lake upon the arrival there
of Patrick Cannon. of Boston.

Mr.. Cannon is survived by AZ stin

Many old settlers in Spring VAL
ley will soon receive record titles
to the property to which they now
have possessory rights and on which
they have made their homes for
many years. A considerable portion
of the land in Spring Valley has been
unsurveyed until recently During
the past few days many old residents
of Spring Valley have been notified
by the United States Land office at
Elko that all preliminary matters
have been attended to and entries
under the homestead laws will be
received. Some of these settlers have
occupied the lands for thirty years
or more and In many instances such
title as they had has been conveyed
several times. No question has ever
been raised, and doubtless would not
stand II 1t were. The land rightly
belongs to the good old timers who
have made that beautiful valley what
1t Is today and 1t is comforting to
know that the records will now soon
be in proper shape.

BOYS BAND BENEFIT
DANCE IS SEASONS
SOCIAL SUCCESS

The dance given in Bio hall last
night for the benefit of the Boys
band was one of the most successful
affairs ever given in Ely. The large
hall was taxed to its capacity and
every inch of space on the floor was
occupied by the merry throng of
dancers from the time the doors were
thrown open until the small hours
this morning. The decorations pre-
sented beautiful sight. Wires were
stretched from east to west across
the hall and the serpentine sold by
charming girls in bewitching gowns
was thrown about by the dancers
and as 1t hung from the wires
arranged to receive it, presented a
magnificent spectacle. American
Beauty roses were auctioned off and
brought fabulous prices. None too
much. however. because when worn
in the hair and on the costumes of
the handsome young women, the
sight was we'll worth the money ex-
pended A cozy corner in the north
east corner of the hall was so taste
fully arranged that it proved a great
attraction during the entire evening
A booth in the southeast corner OF
the room contained refreshments OF
all kinds and was presided over by a
bevy of pretty girls. The much talk
ed of Madame DeClair entered the
hall soon after the opening of the
doors and was permitted to read for
tunes during the evening Sc
clever was her disguise that no one
recognized her. but after she had
told the past and forecasted the flu.

Raymond McKernan. Harry Brown.
Wilbur Fry and Harvey Reilly re-
turned on Friday after spending a
week killing and dieting on deer.
When frankly asked as to how many
of the fleet animals fell victims to
the bullets of their trusty rifles, each
member of the party would Instant
ly look around over his shoulder to
see whether or not Game Warden
Fletcher was within hearing dis
tance. Each member of the party
admits bringing into camp the limit
OF one deer apiece. but as the party
was composed of normal Nevada
men. and all had their appetites with
them, of course there was no veni-
son around when they broke camp
to return home
