MUNICIPAL COURT

John Camppangle, an employe at
the Farrow livery, was arrested Tues
day on charge of occupying the same
room in a local hotel with a young
girl. The arrest was made under a
city ordinance recently passed which
makes it unlawful for unmarried men
and women to occupy the same room
in any hotel or tavern. He was
brought up for trial yesterday after
noon at O'Clock and found not guilty
by Judge Lyon. The judge urged that
someone see to it that the girl be taken
care of and he afterward gave her a
stern lecture.
The municipal court turned over to
the city treasury for the months Of
October and November $40, and to the
county treasury $40 for the same
months. This money was from fines
collected.

TUNGSTEN SHIPPED
FROM S0DAv|LLE

C. 4. Noble, the discoverer of the
tungsten deposits near Sodaville, was
consulted last Wednesday. Mr.. Noble
says that the property being operated
by Atkins & Knoll. IL miles from Soda
Vile, is continuing a steady produc-
ton of 20 tons of ore daily, that be-
ing the capacity of the concentrating
plant near Luning where the product
is treated. From 40 to 80 men are
employed there.
The deposits close to Sodayille
owned by Mr. Noble present metallur
gical problems which are battling the
owners A ledge from three to five
feet in width which contains over two
per cent tungsten has opened up for
1900 feet in length, but owing to the
character of the ore, it cannot be
concentrated, and no practical me-
thod of treatment has been devised.
However, Mr.. Noble is confident that
he will soon devise process and when
this is accomplished he will undoubt-
eddy have one of the biggest tungsten
propositions in the state.-Bulletin.

a jitney dance for the purpose OF rails
ing money TO help members OF the
order, who have received all they were
legally entitled to under the laws Of

ment of those attending. The best of

Objectionable features eliminated.
This will be jitney oance and you
