Mrs. Wingfield had been, as a result
of illness, unwise in household ex-

ant factors in the. pairs near es-

Following the advertisement,
Wingfield came to San Francisco
On his. arrival Saturday he visited his
children. The police were on hand,
but what Mrs. Wingfield had excited
ly believed to be plans of spiriting
away her children proved to be mere
~ a little Easter shopping trip.
Mrs. Wingfield is a San Francisco
girl and prefers this city to Nevada
Most of Wingfield's millions, on the
other hand, have been made in Ne
vada, and he often states his inten-
ton of standing by the State that

The result is. it is said, that Mrs.
Wingfield has reconciled herself TO
her husbands loyalty for the state

PRISON FARM COOPERATES
WITH STATE AGRICULTURISTS

Two of the fine bulls that belong
to the herd at the prison farm were
sold by Warden Dickerson during the
week to local people, n of them
brought $500, and it is stated by an
authority on cattle that he vas worth
fully 500 if bought OF the outside
market. The other was sold for
800 and was easily worth double
that amount.
The object of the warden in al
lowing the bulls to go for such low
figures is one that deserves common
dalton, as he is endeavoring to give
Nevada farmers and stockmen the
benefit of the results of the prison
farm, which according to his opinion.
being a state institution should be
conducted for the benefit of the peo-
pie of the state. He is also allowing
other departments of the state to Sc
lect breeding animals for the prison
farm, without cost to that depart
hent for the same reason.
1t Is the intention of Warden
Dickerson to Immediately purchase
for the farm about so head OF
thoroughbred cattle and he will en-
deavor to build up a herd that will
be equal to any in the west. and If
this policy of allowing the small
farmer to buy, without loss to the
state, thoroughbred stock that other
wise would be out of his reach, then
the prison farm is a success and a
great benefit to the people of the
state.-Carson City News.

TWO ELKO BOYS ARE
HURT WHILE BICYCLING

A very unfortunate accident occur
ed Sunday night about $3.50 o'clock
on Court street, near the foot of the
hill, at Elko, says the Independent.
John Steninger, son of e. M. Sten-
niger, was coasting down the hill on
his bicycle and just in front of the
VIM. Young apartment house he ran
into a crowd of children who were
returning from church with their
parents. John did not have a light.
and as the night was dark he was not
seen until he crashed into the-crowd.
He first struck Danny Andrea and
then he struck Charley Sewall. Both
boys were knocked down, the Andrea
boy receiving a l%aceration of the
scalp which required four stitches,
and the Sewall boy received a badly
wrenched shoulder. The Steninger
boy was rendered unconscious, In
which condition he remained for
more than ~ hours. His lower lip
WAS cut clear through and he was
badly bruised and shaken up. All of
the boys required medical assistance.
Those who saw the accident say
that it is a miracle that no one was
killed and no bones broken. The hill
is long and steep and the bicycle was
going like a flash when it crashed in
to the crowd.

FA|LURE0F AIR ATTACK
Zeppelin Raid on English Coast Last
Night Ends in Disaster to Ven
turesome German Ayiators.

London, Nov. 2S-Two Zeppel;ns
of the German aerial feet which
last night raided eastern counties of
England were brought down by
aerial defenders. an official state
ment declared today.
Lord French, commander of the
British home forces, said one of the
Zeppelns was brought down, ahame
on the Durham coast. The second
was destroyed nine miles off Norfolk
Both were headed toward the sea
when hit. The casualties and dam
age by the raid was reported as
slight.
Last nights was the twenty-sev-
enth air raid over eastern counties
since January /. The last raid was
on October 2-by an aeroplane
Judging from official statements
the two Zcppelins bageed last night
bring the total of the number so far
destroyed over England by the Brit
ish patrols up to six. at least three
of these being of the latest super
Zeppelin type.
The official statement of last
nights raid said the Zeppelins passed
over northern and eastern counties.
Durham and York counties are
two of the northcaSternmost in Eng
land. Probably the raiders entered
over Hartlepool, well-known har-
Dor, and supposed to be one of the
British naval bases, which lies be-
tween the two counties.

Her Escort Tells Police Story of
Thrilling Experience Late Last
Night at Gibbon and Royal Streets

An item in yesterdays Gazette toio
of young man from washington
who was drunk, falling asleep near
the electric railway track at CID
bon and Royal streets. Sergeant Rob
erts found the man and conducted
him to the station house. 1t was sug-
gested in the description of the Incl
dent that the locality selected by the
stranger in which to take nap was
near the scene of nocturnal holdup
recently.
1t is alleged that another holdup
was perpetrated at the same place
last night about 1870 o'clock IN
which four men and a woman figured.
About II o'clock, one OF the men
entered the station house and told
the officers that while he was walk
ing with the woman at Gibbon and
Royal streets the couple were ap-
preached by three men, one of whom
discharged a pistol twice, with the
,imtention of fofcing him to leave the
woman. The narrator said he was
compelled to abandon his charge
when the three me,i proceeded in
southerly direction with the woman.
The police could find no traces of the
quaternion when they visited the
neighborhood.
The woman in the case was found
this morning She corroborated the
xtory told by her escort. She said
the shots were not discharged at the
man who was accompanying her, but
apparently for the purpose of fright
ening him away. She Was forced
along by the three men, neither of
whom she can positively identify, al
though she described one, who, she
alleged, teok hold of her. The wo-
man says she managed to get away
from the man without harm.
The police are looking for the
W0man'S escort.
