STATE ORPHANS
LEFT FORTUNE
TWO BOYS, INMATES OF OR.
PHANS' HOME. ARE HEIRS
TO VALUABLE ESTATE.
Mother Died in Insane Asylum Few.
Months Ago; After Willing Estate
to Sons She Decided Property to
Sister, Who May Have Transferred
it to Man Without Consideration.

Over in the orphans home at
Twin Bridges are two little boys, Les
lie and Alex Reid, dependents upon
the states bounty. A few days ago
there was no better prospect for them
than to remain public charges until
such time as they were old enough
to earn their own living.
Like bolt of lightning from the
sky comes the announcement that
they are boys of wealth. A fortune
of $4,000 is coming to them.
The mother of the boys whose
prospects have suddenly taken
rainbow tinge was a Mrs. Caroline
Reid. She died in the insane asylum
at Warm Springs a few months ago,
About the time of her death the
There were rumors that the WOm-
an was possessed Of means. This
could not be verified at the time Of
her death. But the officials of the
institution have been working on the
case for several months. There are
many complications, and the prop
erty in which it is believed the boys
have a substantial interest is in
volved, but it is thought that a legal
adjudication Of the tangle will make
the boys Independent for life.
Left Sons With Sister.
Mrs. Reid was the widow of q Chi
cago physician, who on his death left
her an estate valued at from $4,000
to $4,000. After the husbands
death Mrs. Reid became insane. She
had a sister, Charlotte Hanly, living
at Big Timber, and Mrs. Hanly went
to Chicago, got her sister and two
sons and brought them to Montana.
Mrs. Reid was finally taken to the
asylum at Warm Springs and died
there, the two boys remaining with
their aunt. Later the state took the
boys away from Mrs. Hanly on the al
legation that she was not fit per-
son to have charge of them.
Will Fight for Property.
After the death of Mrs. Reid it
was found she had willed her prop
erty to her two sons, but later she
had decided it to Mrs. Hanly. During
his Investigations, Mr.. Hickman
learned that Mrs. Hanly had divorced
her husband and had transferred the
property to c. w. Wilson. Then the
investigation was pursued by a Chi
cago bank, which had some of the
money belonging to the estate on de-
posit, and the result was the con-
clusion that Wilson had obtained the
property without a consideration.
But Wilson claims he gave Mrs.
Hanly 60 lots in Prince Rupert, B. -,
and $4,000 cash for the property,
and will fight suit to deprive him
of it, claiming that he is an innocent
purchaser.

SIGNS OF THE MANIT0U
F0RETELL MILD WINTER

The husks on the corn this year
were light. The oak trees have
borne no acorns. The buffalo
berry crop is light. The musk
rats have not begun to build their
winter houses. The coats Of fur
bearing animals are thin, and the
bark on the trees is loose.
These signs, of no moment to
the white man, constitute the
Manitou's message to his red chill
dren that the winter, on the
threshold of which Montana
stands, is going to be a late and
open one.
That is the medicine Of the In
dian. From the reverse Of these
signs last fall the Indian pre-
dicted that the winter was hard
one. Was it? Ask the man who
had to go through it with light
overcoat. Who will be sorry9
Why, the coal man, of course.

Fire at University

Fire of an unknown origin, that is
supposed to have broken out in the
basement of Manzanita hall, one of the
dormitory buildings of the state uni
versity, did damage estimated at about
$4,000 Monday morning about 10 o'clock.
For time it seemed that the flames
would destroy the entire structure.
The fire is said to have started in the
laundry room in the basement and
quickly spread to the lattice work and
porch on the east side of the building.
The heat of the flames broke every
window on the east side and the fur
niture in the dormitories on the east
side of the building, between the north
and south wings, was destroyed.
President Hendrick said that work of
repairing would commence as soon as
the insurance adjusters had completed
their work. The damage to the in
terror of the building is said to have
been small and the only work necessary
will be to have the walls retinted.
Every room will be refurnished and all
will be IN readiness when the univer-
sity opens for the fall term. The
pianos and valuable furnishings were
all removed and we're not damaged.

NEVADA GAINS
IN INDUSTRIES
Census Report Shows that
Manufacturing is of In
CrGaSin6 Importance

We have received from the Reno
Commercial Club copy of the report
of the Census Bureau showing the
comparative summary of manufact-
uring industries in Nevada for the
years 1904, 1909 and 1914.
In 1904 there were lis establishments
listed employing 802 wage earners.
They paid out that year for wages
$G93, 600 and for materials $l,62S, 600.
The value OF the manufactured pro-
duets was $3,09G, 900.
In 1914 there were lS0 establishments
listed employing 1855 wage earners.
The wages paid amounted to $3. 578, 900,
the cost of materials was S9,317 900
and the value of manufactured pro-
ducts SIG, 083, 000
By these figures it will be seen that
manufacturing industries are of con-
siderable Importance in the state and
a real substantial element in its pros
perity. Since 1914 there has been a
very rapid increase and when the
figures for 1916 are available (Which
will be in 1915 at the rate the census
bureau works. they will be a surprise
to all. Nevada offers field which is
attractive to small industries and the
Reno Commercial Club is doing good
work in bringing the possibilities to
the attention of the world.

man Of the committee in charge Of com

for the Woman's Party, reported TODAY

slogan which Mrs. Belmont has adopted
Is: "A thousand dollars a day from now
until election day" She herself has con-
trtbuted $4,000 since January to the Fed
eral amendment cause, Of which $4,000
was donated specifically for use in the
Women's Party campaign work
For the first time women have found

in her letter. This party has pledged
Itself to use its best efforts in the twelve
States where women vote for President
to defeat President Wilson, and in the
eleven States where they vote for Con-
gress to defeat the Democratic candidates
for Congress because Of the persistent
opposition by Mr.. Wilson and his party
to the national enfranchisement of
women.
