Threatens East
Ely Residences

The cottage dwelling in East Ely
occupied by H. Selfridge. master me-
chanic for the Nevada Northern Rail-
way, was badly damaged by fire early
Wednesday evening The house, al
though in a more or less thickly in
habited district, is itself rather iso-
lated from other dwellings, and
stands nearly on the height of land
in the resident section of East Ely.
and just north of the c. s. Chandler
residence.
The fire was first seen about eight
o'clock. the flames appearing to be on
the outside of the house, and attack
ing a small screened porch on the
south side of the building. The wind
was blowing gale from the south
west, and in an incredibly short time
the flames had spread over the entire
south portion of the house and at
tackled the roof which quickly
burst into a blaze.
Several in the neighborhood dis
covered the fire at about the same
time, and telephone alarm was sent
to Ely. At about the same time the
mounting flames had been noticed
throughout East Ely and general
alarm was sounded on locomotive
whistles in the railroad yards. 1t was
bad night for fire and 1t was truly
terrifying spectacle towards which
people hurried from all directions.
Members of the Nevada Northern
| fire company were on the scene in
quick time. and with the assistance of
willing volunteers got line of hose
| laid from a fire hydrant across the
street from the burning house. BY
this time it seemed as If a general
confiagration could not be averted.
as the entire upper portion of the
house was a roaring mass of flame
and the gale was carrying a great
cloud of sparks and burning embers
in the direction of other dwellings
and buildings. But the water had
checking effect. and within a very few
minutes further assistance was at
hand with the arrival of the big auto
flre truck from G5 with a number of
members OF the Ely Volunteer Fire
department, the truck having made

cials of the San Diego exposition and
the Lincoln Highway association, un-
der whose auspices this tour is being
made, believe that this unprecedented
motor car drive will prove conclusive
iy how easy, safe and economically
the average car with a full gear set
can make transcontinental run.
Another record will be set in the

the only time on record where a car
has been started by a man several

DIVORCE BUSINESS VERY
ACTIVE IN DISTRICT COURT

Reno has nothing on Ely when 1t
comes to settling family differences
by the divorce rort te. and on Wednes-
day three separate cases occupied the
attention of Judge McFadden in the
district court
An application was made by Radna
Callihan for alimony money and suit
money pending the litigation in her
suit for divorce from Fred Callihan.
The application was contested by Mr..
Callihan and was taken under ad-
Yisement by the court Il
Next came the case of Emma Bress
against Herman Bress. This was
bitterly contested and as both have
made complaint and ask for divorce,
the main question seems to be over
the community property which Is said
to consist of $500 in cash and two
houses at Ruth, Mrs. Bress contends
that the property is all the result OF
her hard work over a wash tub from
daylight to long after dark. Mr..
Bress, however attempted to estab-
lish fight to portion OF the money,
first on the ground that he had So
licited the work and carried 1t to his
wife for execution. He further said
that he had officiated as engineer on
the washing machine many hours. 1t
later appeared, however. that con-
siderable of the money was earned
by the less modern method OF COM
mon board and plenty of muscle sup
piled by Mrs. Bress. and before the
co-partnership had sufficient funds to
purchase a modern machine. Mr..
Bress then set up the fact that water
was needed in the work and that he
supplied that. In answer Mrs. Bress
contended that Mr.. Bress always
claimed to be unable to carry water
up the hill. due to his crippled condi-
ton. but she said that did not pre-
vent him from carrying very good
jag" up the hill. The matter was
finally taken under advisement by
the court.
To wind up the strenuous day.
Richard White was granted q divorce
from Margaret White. The couple
was married last August and for q
time resided at McGill. One Bill
Reid seemed TO have won the affec-
tions Of Mrs. White. and tho two left
the smelter town At or about the
same time.

Fear OF rust in the northwest owing
to continued heavy humidity led to d
further upturn in prices. The effect
was Offset somewhat by unexpected
