ESCAPED FROM
RUSSIA NOW |NM|N0T
Sol Gordon, Brother of Min0t Mer.
chants, Tells of Thrilling Escape
From Rusia-Bribed Officers.

Herman and Abe Gordon went to
Williston Sunday where the follow.
ing day they met their brother, Sol
Gordon, enroute to Minot from Rus
STA, from which country he fortunate
ly escaped. Others in the party who
met the train were H. Harris and
Dave Rawitcher, Alex. Garrison and
Joe Greengard, and a brother, Sam
Gordon, of Richie, Mont. They held a
reception for the young man, who is
fast assuming American ways.
Altho the young man cannot speak
a word of English. an Independent
representative was enabled to secure
an interesting interview with him
thru an interpreter.
The young man left Russia three
months ago. He was compelled to en-
list in the Russian army but never
served. He was able to bride crooked
Russian officials by giving them 1000
rubles, equivalent to $500 and they
assisted him in getting away. His
father furnished $3.50 of the money
and he had earned the balance by act
ing as tutor for children in rich fam
lilies. In the party of Jewish people
who escaped from Russia were 1870
men and IS women, the latter all COM
ing to America to join their husbands.
The entire party passed thru Minot
Monday. Before they escaped from
Russia, they had to walk hundred
miles, always during the night, hiding
in the hills during the day. They rode
in queer Chinese wagons for 24O miles.
These wagons have three compart-
ments, lower, middle and upper. Once
Russian officer grabbed young Cor
don just as he was getting on a train
but he threw the man off with almost
superhuman strength and managed
to catch the train. The party Travelled
thru Siberia into China and then went
to Japan, setting sail for Seattle. One
Of Gordon's pals was caught trying to
escape and was sentenced to prison
for 20 years in Siberia. The young
man said that he took desperate
chances to escape for he would just
as soon have died as have remained in
Russia.
Mr.. Gordon's parents reside at Lug.
unsk, Russia, only four days walk
from the battle front. He says that in
the city where he lived Jewish cloth
ing merchant was asked by Cossak
to give him silver and gold for paper
money. He was unable to do so and
the Russian soldier took out his sword
and cut off the merchants head. He
was not punished for this as the Cos
sack claimed that the Jew was sending
his gold to help the Germans.
The young man is 81 years of age
and speaks several languages fluent.
ly. He was educated to become a
Rabbi. He will remain with his bro
ther, Herman, and attend school in the
city.

BIG MILL Is
BEING BUILT

After November /, Humboldt
county, and Nevada will be credited
with the output of the Byllesby
company's tungsten output from
this section. Heretofore. the ore
has been shipped away, to Titan
and then to Colorado, with the re-
suit that Colorado has been given
the credit for the production.
The new concentration, which is
now under course of construction
at Toulon. is rapidly nearing COM
.pletion, and on November 1, will
probably be in shape to handle the
output from the tungsten mine.
According to the company Off
cials, the mill after the first of the
year. will be the largest single-mine
group tungsten proposition in the
United States. The Atolia, al
though larger. is handling tunS-
ste pres from a number of mines.
On Sunday of the coming week
il is expected that the first cater
pillar will leave from the tungsten
mines at Ragged Top. and travel to
the mill, over the new 1O-mile
road. which is now nearly complet-
ed.-Review-Miner.

MEN WANTED FOR
AMBULANCE CORPS
AMERICANS ARE DOING GOOD
WORK IN SUCCORlNG
ALLIES WOUNDED

NEW YORK, Aug. 81. = The
French army authorities have re-
ouested that the American volun-
teer ambulance corps, which has
done such valuable service, be in
creased by more volunteers, accord
ing to a cablegram received from
Richard Norton, commander of the
corps, by his brother, Eliot Norton,
Of New York. 1t has been asked
that Eliot Norton pass upon the
qualifications of any man who de-
sires to volunteer for the corps,
and he has arranged to do this.
The corps began work in France
at the start of the war and for the
last IS months it has been doing
regular ambulance service for one
Of the French army divisions, Late
ly the corps received the dlstlnc-
ton of being mentioned in The
general army orders for 1.-The con
slant devotion to duty of it's mem
hers and because it has rendered
the very greatest service to the
army division to which it is at
tached in succoring the wounded
in the best possible manner
The essential requirements Tor
volunteers are that they should be
good Americans, in sound health,
capable of withstanding hardshipS
and doing hard and trying work IN
caring for the wounded with kind
ness and without complaint. Vol
unteers should also be good-tem-
uered and capable of getting on we'll
with other men of all kinds and
conditions. In addition they must
be able to drive a motor and talk
some French. The men already at
tached to the corps have been prin-

WILLIE RICHIE
WILL FIGHT HERE
BUSINESS MEN PROMOTING
EITCHIE-McCARTI CON-
TEST FOR OCT. IL

\ number of prominent Goldfield
antics Of near ~ham-and-egg pugs in
local rings, have arranged a real
fight, to be staged here October IL.
The principals will be Willie Richie.
ex-lightweight champion of the
world, and one of the star perform
ers of today, and Johnnie Mccarthy,
the San Franciscan who has fought
on numerous occasions in Goldfield
and Tonopah, but who has lever
been forced to extend himself
against an opponent in a Nevada
ring.
The men will fight ten rounds for
the entire gate receipts above eX-
penses and no person connected
with the promotion OF the contest
will make a nickel as the result of
his efforts, the entire object of the
contest being to secur a little pub
licity for the town and give the
long-suffering Goldfield fight fans a
run for their money.
The proposed contest first saw
light through a recent visit of H. G..
Mcmahon, a local mining man, to
San Francisco, wheer he discussed
with George F. Green. boxing in
structor and matchmaker for the
Olympic club of San Francisco, the
possibility of securing two high
class men for a fight to be held in
Goldfield. TIE opponent first pro-
posed for Richie was Willie Hoppe,
but as Richie recently secured two
decisions over Hoppe, it was figured
hat the coast papers would knock
the bout.
Mccarthy has been begging for a
chance at Richie for some time, and
now t at the opportunity has pre-
scented itself, and McCarthy's am
bition being we'll known to sport
ing writer's on the coast. it is
thought that they will take hold OF
the fight and that it will be COM
mented on in papers all over the
country.
A telegram received last night by
Mcmahon from Green announced
that the articles would be signed to-
day and the business men will form
committees and proceed with the
details of the promotion of the big
event.
Richie and McCartv. accom-
panied by their sparring partners,
are expected to arrive here about 10
days before tie contest and should
have no trouble in conditioning
themselves. as they will fight at
cat~hweights. They will weigh
about 145 pounds each when tFey
enter the ring. Green will az
company the men.
As the contest is being promoted
strictly for the benefit of Goldfield
and the townspeople, the syndicate
backing it will charge popular prices
within the reach of all, and a card
of the caliber of the proposed I
will. it is predicted, draw big
crowds from long distances and
prove of considerable benefit to the
town.

AUTO ACCIDENT
At ElKO RODEO
MECHANICIAN NEARLY KILLED
WHEN RACING CAR CRASHES
INTO FENCE

a very serious accident oo-
Cured at the Roedo grounds on
the closing day of the Elko Rodeo.
during the forty-mile. race, when
the Overland car driven by Ray
Davis suddenly swerved to the right
and crashed into the fence, turn
ed three complete somersaults, and
landed right side up, so feet from
the race track.
Winston Gregory, the 19-year-
old son of County Commissioner
James Gregory. who was acting as
mechanician. was found lying along
side the car. where he had fallen
after the machine came to a stop.
He was in an unconscious condition,
a number of ribs being crushed,
his skull probably fractured, and
his whole body badly bruised.
Ray Davis. the driver, was thrown
from the car as it went through the
fence. and was found walking
around in a semi-conscious condi-
ton. He was badly bruised and
shaken. but his injuries were not
serious. That he escaped serious
injury or death is a miracle, for
those who saw the accident say
that he was thrown fully Is feet in
the air, and he landed 80 feet from
the point where the accident occur
red. Davis is able to be around
and will soon have entirely recover
ed.
Richard Hadley. a laborer, who
was sitting on the fence directly
over the point where the auto
struck. was sent high in the air. and
fell among the broken fence tim
bers. He sustained a sprained knee
and other minor injuries. He ir
confined in the county hospital,
hut will soon be non the worse
fer his experience.
Young Gregorr was taken to his
home and medical attention was i'm
mediately given him. Up to a late
hour he had not recovered conscious
functions are improving and it IS
believed hal consciousness will
soon return. Until then the full
extent of his injuries cannot be
determined.
The cause of the accident is a
matter of speculation. A small los
chain was found wrapped around
the axle of the right front wheel
and it was SO tightly damned that
the wheel had to be removed be
fore it would turn. 1t is he be-
lief of some that the chain was
picked up on the track, when the
wheel was so lN"I,ed that the car
was thrown into the fence. This
theory is supported by the fact
hat a furrow is ploughed in the
track a distance of fully so fee,
just before the car struck the fence,
indicating hat one of the wheels
on the right side slid.-Elko indie

COPPER CLAIMS IN HUMBOLDT
COUNTY MADE BASIS
OF DEAL

If a rumor current in Lovelock is
correct, a large German syndicate
has taken an option on several
copper claims in the Jewel Noun
tain district 81 miles southeast of
Lovelock, in the East range. These
claims, all low grade, have been
heralded as possessing the appear
ance of a big copner proposition.
The claims mentioned as likely 10
come under the operations of the
German capitalists are the Copper
Queen, Wellington group, Bobcat
Log Cabin and Hermatite.
Jack T. Perry, who with l.. e.
Snipes, owns the Copper Queen,
Wellington and Bobcat, was in
Lovelock this week, and admitted
the possibility of a deal being put
through which would bring in CAPT

copper properties on a large scale.
He said that the location work on
these three claims had been COM
