BURGLARY AT EAST ELY

The Antler Bar in East Ely vas

goods of the value of about $50
taken, consisting of about $45 in
cash, an automatic shot gun and a
3S-ealibre Colts special six shooter.
with scabbard and cartridges.
The entrance was gained by boring
a hole through the rear door, which
enabled the burglar to raise the bar
used as a locking device.
The safe was not touched, and so
far as can be discovered by the man.
agement the stock was not disturbed.
The cash register containing the
morning change was left open. so 1t
was not necessary to break 1t in or
der to obtain the money.
The robbery was not discovered
until the saloon was opened
in the early morning. Sheriff Grain
was Immediately notified and he,
with his deputies are at work upon
the matter. While the officers are
under the impression that some one
familiar with the premises is guilty,
yet 1t may be the work offs profession

victs and the like always visit dis
tricts where a mining excitement is
raging.
This community has been cleaned
out of a number of undesirables dur
ing the past week by Sheriff Grain

work will be kept up. or course,

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET
Is WON BY SENIORS

Some excellent showings we're
made at the White Pine County high
school track meet which was held ON
the county park grounds Thursday
afternoon. The contests we're be-
tween the seniors and the other
three classes grouped together.
Jack Frost won individual honors
by scoring 81 points. He ran the
50-yard dash in the remarkable time
of s 3-5 seconds.
The seniors scored 81 points, while
the bunch rolled up Al.
At the annual inte~rscholastic
track meet which will be held in
Reno IN Friday and Saturday next,
the White Pine County high school
will be represented by Frost, Simon,
Boyd and Larson. In the tennis
tournament which will be held on
the second day of the big meet, the
girls of White Pine county high will
be represented by Miss Cleora MUIR
dock, Miss Pearl Gibson and Miss
Maude North.
The exact time made in the sep
arate events on Thursday is not
made public for the reason that other
teams throughout the state have
elected to keep such data out of the
press in order that their opponents
may not know exactly what they may
have to meet. 1t is safe to say,
however. that the local institution of
learning will be in the foreground, as
selected to compete are athletes of
no mean order. Frost is a sprinter
who will make the boys from other
sections of the state look to their
l~aurels, while Simon, Boyd and Lar
sen will have to be reckoned with in
many of the events. OF course our
boys will be handicapped when the
final scores are being figured up for
the reason that practically every
other school has entered two or more
contestants for each event, while our
boys will have to enter single-handed
In many of the contests. The expense
of sending enough of the boys to
give the local school an equal chance
with the others is prohibitive, but
quality and not quantity will count
and we are sending the quality.
The following is a summary of the
meet:
50-yard dash-Frost( S) first; ST.
fon Isl second; Jackson Isl third.
Shot put-Boyd CD first; Benson
(S) second; Mangum(F) third.
Mile run-Conklin( CD first; Bag

100-yard dash-Frost Isl first;
Benson Isl second; Simon (S)
third.
High jump-Frost Isl first; Man
gum I'D and Smith (soph) tied for
second
44O-yard run-Simon Isl and
Boyd tF) tied for first; Benson tS)
third.
Pole vault-Mangum (F) first;
Frost Isl second; Boyd cd third.
SS0-yard ruD-Frost Isl first;
Chas. Boyd (FD second; Moore Cd
third.
2~20-yard dash-Simon Isl first;
Boyd (F) second; Benson (S) third.
Broad jump-Mangum (F) first;
