They proceeded to remove the cover
from the big board box. Into it they
dumped clocks, watches, vases, rings.
They laughed and chatted in high
glee. then Slews tackled tag to the
cover of the box Then they went
away, after putting out all of the lights
and securely locking up the place.
Now it's my turn" soliloquized
Bonnie and he was soon inside the
store. He read the address on the box.
I see,' he observed, bound for Can
ada and may be back any moment
with an expressman. Well, I'll let
them go. but I've got to work quickly"
1t was two hours later when Slews
and Wykoff returned and. as Bonnie
mad guessed, had an expressman with
them. The great box was loaded on
the wagon. 1t was taken to the rail-
road station. The schemers saw il
placed in the express car and took
the same train.
AS 1t approached the Canadian Dor
der customs officer came through
the train.
Your box ahead there?" he in
CURED of Slews.
Yes was answered promptly.
Any mourners?"
oh, they will be along later" ex-
planned Wykoff
Yes" chuckled Slews, in an aside
in thirty. sixty and ninety days!"
There were some anxious visitors at
the store next day, representatives Of
the concerns that had furnished the
stock Bluntly Bonnie told them that
Slews and Wykoff had transferred the
same to Canada
I've something to tell you" Bonnie
said to Doctor Grimm the next day.
That jewelry didn't go in that big
box"
1T didn't" queried his aged friend.
No, | took it out It's full of coal,
rocks and old junk-that will be my
revenge when those skeesickses come

But where is the jewelry?" asked
the astounded doctor.
It's hidden in the corner of the
basement down stairs" explained Ben
ME. I've got my revenge-now for
my brothers four hundred dollars"
Il don't understand" voiced the
supplemented old man.
We'll. I'm going to see the two
houses Slews and Wykoff swindled.
I'm going to ask them how much they
will give to get back their jewelry.

The creditors looked eager, sus-
picious, hopeful all at once as Bonnie
did, in fact, what the query indicated.
! They declared that they would glad.

their goods-then Bonnie told his
story.
Il only want four hundred" he said
It's on account of my poor brother,
gentlemen" he pleaded. I'm not
holding you up. You shall have the
goods anyway, only that four hundred
dollars is the price of my brothers
happiness.
"And you shall have it willingly
young mani" assented the principal
creditor Produce the property and
get your check"
When Bonnie left the town with the
money he felt rewarded for the patient
underpaid weeks he had put in to get
even with his rascally employers.
Meantime, across the border, Slews
and Wykoff had opened their treasure
chest, to find rubbish.
"Wykoff," observed Slews dolorous
ly, "Bennie did this!"
I'm afraid he did" assented the
mournful partner.
I'VE can't go back"

Ada M. Cox took a measure Of her
revenge out on Rufus Edwards, st.
Paul millionaire, yesterday. The day
she has waited two years for, when
she could take the witness stand and
tell what she says the lUmberman
did to her, came.
She didn't cry or sob as she al
legged what happened to her after
she trusted Edwards when he made
love to her. Just plainly and in low
tones she described the actions of the
high-brOw millionaire, who, accord
ing to her story, found the stenOgra-
pher good enough to trifie with, but
not swell enough for place as wife.
Her tale concerned a trip to st.
Paul, that, she says, was paid for by
Edwards. She says she was met at
the depot by Edwards, who made ar
rangements for her stay in that city.
Then the pair went for dinner.
Miss Cox testified that at dinner
Edwards insisted she drink cocktails
and wine, took her to a roOming
house, where he introduced her to a
woman, a Mrs. Guth, who, he said,
was a friend of a relative, and then
visited different cafes.
Q-Then you went back to Mrs.
Guths? Ayes.
Q-What happened after you got
there?
A-Edwards walked up the steps
with me; said he wanted to be sure
that got to my room all right, be-
cause he was afraid felt the drinks. |

IOWA EABOR = RIKE PLAYED
PART IN LA SALE BANK WRECK
A labor strike in an Iowa city was
one of the causes behind the Lorimer
bank wreck. Harry w. Huttig, di-
rector of the Lorimer bank, was head
of the National Button Mfrs. assn
and owner of button-making plants
in Muscatine, Iowa Some 500 work
ers, mostly women and girls, were
on strike against low wages in 1912.
The high cost of financing the
strike was told yesterday in Judge
DeVeT's court by Chas. E. Ward, for
mer secretary to Vim. Lorimer.
Asked to tell the cause of the run on
the La Sale bank, Ward said:
'Unfavorable newspaper notoriety
about a number of things that hap
pened at that time. The first was
the Muscatine affair, in which Mr..
HUttig's notes, to bankers of that
town caused them to attach certain
of his securities"
Ward said a string of stories run
by the big downtown newspapers of
Chicago threw suspicion on the La
Sale bank. The suspicion grew into
a real scare and ended with a run on
the bank.
After the Muscatine story came
'the Truax, Green & Co. story,
charging that the company was sell
ing opium in violation of the federal
law, and following that the Rosehiu
cemetery story was printed" =
When the RosehiIl cemetery sto-
ries were printed with allegations
discrediting Harry W. Huttig, the
button-making magnate, and again
later when the LOTimer bank went
smash, Emmett Flood, organizer for
the American Federation of Labor
gave interviews to The Day Book
saying it was a proper time to ask
whether money paid by Rosehil

COMMITTED
TO INSANE ASYLUM
BECAME VIOLENT LAST NIGHT
AND WAS EXAMINED THIS
AFTERNOON

S. S. Erret, who on June 10 was
foundin Beatty, where he had gone
while temporily insane on the sub
ject of spiritualism, became VIC
lent last night and the efforts Of
Sheriff ingalls,, Deputy Sheriff Bo-
gard and W. other men were re-
quired to take him to the Jail for
safe keeping. At two O'Clock this
afternoon, upon the testimony of
Doctors Turner and Rowland, Judge
Walsh issued an order committing
him to the Nevada hospital for men
tai diseases at Reno.
Another believer in s~piritualism
was present at Erret's house when
he became violent last night and
insisted that Erret was alright and
that he be left to the guidance of
the spirits and not interfere with
by humans. 1t is said that sew
eral other Goldfeld believers in
the power of humans to commune
with the departed are staggering
on the ragged edge of the pre-
cipice that separates eason from
insanity and that unless they mend
their ways. they will shortly fol-
low in the footsteps of Erret.

where he has lad the higher learn

He says it is quite a place. He

RAD|UM FIND IN
CLARK COUNTY
SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY MADE
NEAR OVERTON AS SHOWN
BY TESTS

Deposits of carnotite or radium
bearing ore exist in Clark county
according to tests made at the
Mackay school of mnes at the
university Of Nevada.
BY the use of the e~lectroscope
in the Mackay school laboratory
tests on what would appear to the
laymen as a yellow-spotted, red
and white sand stone, developed
the fact that radium must be add
ed to the treasures of the earth
within the confines of the state OF
Nevada. The e~lectroscope at the
university is the only one in the
state, as far as is known. 1t is a
very sensitive, delicate instrument,
used in determining the content OF
radioactive ores.
The market price of radium for
some two or three years has been
100000 and up per gram, accord
ing to its purity. When it is esti
mated that a gram is equal to about
half a thimble-full, n is given
an idea of the value of the mineral.
AT the time of the beginning of
the European war there were Is
to 20 grams of radium contracted
for abroad, chiefly in Germany,
at a price above 100000 per
gram.
Radium is used in scientific re-
search and in medicine. Radirm
treatment is given by e Of
baths in radioactive waters, by
drinking radioactive waters, by
subjecting patients to the radiuln
emanation, by doses of the radio
emanation artifically dissolved in
water to a much greater strength
than car be obtained from the ma
tural waters.
Radioactive waters are benefi-
cial in cases of chronic disorders,
rheumatism of the joints and mus.
cles, govt, diabetes, sc%hlorosis, lynn
phatic disorders, diseases of women
and cancer. Direct exposure to the
Idulum Idyo 10 copooidiiy iSooii
mended for rheumatism. neural
gia, stiffness of the bones and
Joints, as well as chronic eczema.
OF the thousands of ore samples
submitted for tests at the Mackay
school of mines at the university
during the past few months, the
one from a place near Overton,
Clark county. is of the most in
terest, for it adds radium to the
long list of precious metals in
the state of Nevada.
Clark county's deposit is of low
Grade. but tests are being made
at the Mackay school in an effort
70 determine practical methods of
concentration.
