the National Guard, met Goodson Satur-
day night and informed him that he had
| received a parole from Montgomery just
for the purpose of killing him because
he had been troubling his wife, The
men are said to have been on Furnace
Hill when they met and the soldier told
Goodson to stand still while he paced off
% yards to take a shot at him. Waugh
declares that Goodson got down on his
knees and begged him not to shoot him.
and that when he turned his back to
pace a distance, Goodson made for the
police station and sWore out a warrant
The soldier was fined SO and costs in the
police court, while Goodson, who ap-
peared as chief witness against him, was
arrested and two cases of violating the
prohibition law was docketed against

While Bud Horn. a rural mail carrier,
was watching for supposed chicken
thief last Thursday night, negro named
Isaiah Matthews, according to a story
| told in the sheriff's office, drove off
with Mr.. Horns horse and buggy Mr.
Horn had reason to suspect a negro of
stealing his chickens and planned to ap-
prehend him. So Thursday night he hid
himself and after waiting a while saw
the negro with a sack over his arm en-
ter the barn. Mr.. Horn decided to wait
until he came out and then nab him
with the goods on" as evidence of his
guilt. However, after waiting a long
time, according to the story he decided
to investigate and on going into the
barn found that his horse was gone, like
wise his buggy, which had been in the
rear.
The Preds will play their first football
game of the 1916 series Saturday, when
school eleven from Sand mountain, and
will find out in this contest just where
their weak points are, it being the first
game for about five of the players.
Judging from a few remarks from
Coach Sparkman. it appears that the
game will begin with Irwin at center,
Wilcox and Downing, guards, Coleman
and Boozer, tackles Hugh Anderson and
Russell at ends, Reaves, Hughes, Simp-
son or Quinn in the backfield, and with
Pitts, Douglass or Vernon Anderson at
quarter
The A. P. c. believe they have good
coach in Sparkman and he certainly has
demonstrated that he knows how to work
the squad, as some of the green men are
now playing like veterans. One thing
that he lays stress on is Get those sig
nails down right and when a man misses
a signal or gets one mixed up he does
not fail to hear from his coach The
Preds will average about $50 pounds, are
fast and If every one is not deceived,
they will put up a team this year to
equal the elevens which Lamar BoylSin,
Leach and Underwood used to play on.

HAMILTON BECOMING
A HEAVY PRODUCER
But Is Handicapped by Lack OF
Transportation Facilities to
Railway Line at Eureka

Ely Record: Paul Norman, has
who has been interested in a lease
on the McEllin estate at Hamilton
for some time past, spent a few days
in the city during the week hustling
for teams to haul ore. The greatest
difficulty at Hamilton during the
present season has. been to secure
freighters, although the price paid
for hauling is higher than ever be-
fore. A number of trucks were en-
gagged early in the season. but for
some reason they failed to make
good, and owing to the fact that
teams could not be secured, many OF
the miners have been unable to ship
their ores. The Bambergers of Salt
Lake City have about 200 tons of ore
which they are anxious to have hauled
Charles Minoletti has been mining
and shipping all Summer. as also has
Carl Muir. Wilson & Johnson have
been ready to ship for some time
past. Tilford brothers, of Osceola,
who have been leasing for some
months past have a shipment of ore
out. Allen brothers and John Nyce
have shipments ready, which will go
forward as soon as teams can be had.
During the present aso Edward
McEllin has been building roads and
putting his property in condition for
jigging, which work will be COM
menced in the Spring. He has a
large tonnage of ore which in this
name can be handled at a good
profit. If Hamilton could secure q
railroad. it would soon become one
of the best and most prosperous
camps in the State. E.

A booze-fghter and free lunch
grabber was taken out on the dread
desert near the Goldfeld theater
Thursday night and shot dead. He
was commonly known as Smokey"
and Clyde Johnson. auditor and re-
corder of Esmeralda County, paid a
young mar a dollar to commit the
deed. Smokey" was a burro and
probably the most unique of its spe.

to the liquor habit and frequently
walked through the swinging doors
into Goldfield saloons, begged a drink
of the bartender and helped himself
to a meal from the free lunch
counter before departing. Recently

London suburban cottage n recent
gray day, bringing another tragedy
Of. the great wars sharply home to
San Franciscans.
In the cottage was Carrie Mills
Fletcher Hawkins. daughter of Mrs.
w. o. Mills Of this city. who went to
London a year ago to become the
bride of Captain Gilbert Hawkins, R.
B. A. of the Sixtieth Kings Rifles.
A few weeks after she gave birth
to a son the British government sent
word to the little house that Captain
Hawkins had given his life for king
and country"
Cable reports of this pathetic side
light of war yer received in San
Mateo yesterday by Mrs. Frederick
Hussey, cousin of Mrs. Hawkins.
Mrs. Hawkins is also a cousin of Mrs.
Walter Hobart and a granddaughter
of Mrs. Simeon Wenban.
The marriage of Captain Hawkins
and the beautiful California girl took
place in London October 16, 1915.
Their romance began in Yokohama a
year before that. They came home
from the Orient together. Captain
Hawkins went to join his regiment
and his fiancee followed him after
time had assured her that her love
was not merely a touch of the Orient
seas.
Mrs. Hawkins was installed in a
cottage in London, where she has
been living quietly since her marriage
She had not seen her husband for
five months before his death. He
was informed of his sons birth and
wrote her that he would come home
on leave of absence during October,
but some move of the war game
changed his plans and he had to give
up the visit and sight of his child for
ever.

MAY REMoNETIzE v

The steady advance in the price OF
silver is due to the absorption OF
huge quantities for coinage purposes
due to the withdrawal of gold from
circulation by the Allies, who are
reluctantly forced to part with a
portion of their gold reserves in or
der to pay for the stupendous quanti-
ties of war materials which they are
consuming.
The fact is beginning to dawn on
the financial world that the longer
the war drags on, the crater the pos
sibility of the reconciliation of sill
yer or its coinage on a tremendous
scale by the allied powers. which is
practically the same thing as remone-
tization. declares the Mining and
Financial Age. Furthermore, it is
becoming evident that if the war con-
tinues only a few years longer. it
will become a question with the al
lied powers, as we'll as the central
powers, of repudiating their inter-
national obligations if the balance of
the world at large does not see fit to
remonetize silver or else accept it on
a fixed basis at a much higher value
than the present price of the metal.
The worlds entire production of
gold for the next so years will not
be sufficient to back up more than
a fractional part of the huge war
debts being accumulated by the bel
ligerents in the present war. the
greatest the world has ever known.
That American inanciers have given
the question deep thought is conclu-
sively shown by the activity in re-
opening some of the old silver mines
in the West by big financial interests,
evidently in anticipation of the huge
demand for silver which is bound to
follow the closing of the European
struggle, to say nothing of the big
demand already in vogue.
The impossibility of increasing the
worlds production of gold is so SER
ious a factor that it is becoming
more and more evident to all except
the biased that it is a question of
only a very short time when silver
will be placed on a higher price Level
than it was prior to its demonetiza'
ton in 1873.
In view of the unprecedented con
dition of affairs in the financial world
it is evident that following the termi'
nation of the European conflict there
will be a complete reorganization OF
world finance, in which no other
metal will play such an important
part as silver.

DETROIT STATE
| BANKS TO AGAIN
GET POSTAL FUNDS

Detroit state and savings banks
which were repositories for moneys
of the United States postal savings
banks before the Federal Reserve
bank act went into effect, have been
informed that they will again be ELI
gible TO receive funds from the pos
tai savings institutions under an act
approved May IS. 1916. after filing
of approved bonds with the treasury
department.
When the government refused TO
permit the deposit OF postal savings
In Detroit state banks because they
were not in the federal reserve sy3-
tenn, the banks charged that they
were being made the objects OF dis
elimination in favor OF the national
banks. The modification OF the fed
eral reserve act TO again permit
state and savings banks 10 accept
postal savings, is regarded by De-
troit bankers as an indication that
the course first taken. instead Of at
tracing state banks 10 membership
in the federal reserve system, an
tagonized them.
