Consolidated Music company vs. Mil
Ter will be tried.
The case of Rodger NJ. Rutherford.
charged with the shooting of William
Sautelle, will be the rfist criminal
action called, on April II, and imme-
diately following, that of the State

MEN OF DISTRICT
ORGANIZE SOCIAL CLUB

On Tuesday night about fifty
young men from every section of the
district met at the White Pine county
high school for the purpose of or
ganizing a social club, arrangements
for which have been in the hands of
Wayne Stokes for some weeks past.
The club will be essentially social
organization and is open to all young
men in the district of good moral
character over the age of 15 years.
Considerable attention will be given
sport, while military training solely
for the benefit of the individual
members will not be overlooked.
An erroneous impression seems to
have gone abroad that the organiza-
tion will have some connection with
what is termed a state militia. This
is by no means true and the club
when organized will be active in put
ting down any such suggestion that
might cfCi tohiC up Wiahih Wis
county. Such a step would further be
in direct violation of the law and
would not be permitted in any event.
The organization will be subject to
orders properly emanating only from
their own body and cannot be used
for any other purposes than that
stated in the constitution, which they
themselves have adopted, as drafted
by V. G. Fox, C. P. Whitmore and
E. ]. McEllin, Jr.
The value of military training for
the better physical development OF
young men has long been recognized
in every progressive section of the
globe 1t does not follow that a young
man when so trained is subject to any
call no more than when he is trained
in any other line. Military ances
for instance, have become very pop
ular, particularly among student
bodies, and the boys deserve credit
for keeping apace with the times.
Doubtless when the objects of the or
ganization are thoroughly understood
1t will receive the support and en-
couragement of the public, to which it
is so Justly entitled.

little use to him There seemed to
be general agreement on the part of
newspapers that Willard was entitled
to the verdict John l.. Sullivan has
been an ardent Willard admirer for
many months, but his conqureror in
days gone by, Jim Corbett, took the
opposite view. The ten rounds of
fighting did not seem to change the
views of these two Knights of the
squared circle.
The audience was said to be one
prize fight and included men high
in financial circles. as well as Just
ices of the Supreme Court and not
ables in every walk of life. Many
society ladies are said to have wit
messed the great battle between the
two men for the title of champion OF
the world and the small sum of
$4,000 which it netted Willard
considering the money he received
from the moving picture concern ad-
ded to the handsome fortune paid him
by our old townsmen Tex Rickard.
Moran's share of the money was was
only half the amount received by
Willard. but the Pittsburg boy con-
sidered that he had an excellent
chance to take down the title, in
which even his winning would have
been far in excess of that taken down
by willard. New York now follows
Ely in declaring that Tex Rickard is
beyond question the greatest of all
prize fight promoters and when they
want something great in that line
accomplished as in many other lines
no doubt they will turn their eyes
toward the sagebrush state for the
man who can deliver the goods

HEAVYWEIGHT BATTLE
ARRANGED FOR APRIL STH

Tom Chambers has again shown
his worth as a promoter of fistic
events. this time bringing together
two men in the heavyweight division.
who are sure to furnish one of the
best fights ever witnessed. Jack
Dempsey of Salt Lake will meet Joe
Bonds in the ring at Bio hall on
April Sth, and this card cannot fail
to attract widespread attention.
Chambers has been so successful
in bringing together lightweights and
welterweights of the highest class
that he decided to cast about for CON-
ing world champions and try them
out here. Jack Dempsey will be re-
membered as the promising young
fellow who came to Ely in the hope of
the -Barrieau fight was
staged. 1t was impossible to get a
man of Dempsey's weight who had
chance. Argo was first mentioned,
but while he was both willing and
anxious to go, it was decided that he
was too light. A heavy man was at
last found. but Dempsey proved his
opponent to be nothing further than
just heavy.
Dempsey is undoubtedly coming
man. He is fighting machine and
one that keeps after his man hammer
and tongs from gong to gong.
In Joe Bonds he will meet a rea.-
heavyweight fighter. Bonds will have
some advantage in weight, but in the
heavyweight class twenty-five or thir-
ty pounds is not considered. To a
man like Dempsey this makes little
difference. Bonds has recently re-
turned from Australia, where he met
some of the best men in the country,
such as Harry Reeve, Sid Nelson,
Eddie McGoorty and Harold Hard
wick, with whom he went twenty
rounds just before returning to this
country.
Both Dempsey and Bonds are on
their way up the ladder. Both are
anxious to reach the top with all pos
sible speed, and both have an excel
lent chance of doing so. These rea-
sons should be ample assurance that
their exhibition in Bio hall will be
one we'll worth seeing and no doubt
one that no sport In the district will
miss.
