NEVADA CON.
PLEDGES BIG
SUM FOR BONDS

In the second Liberty Loan upon
which per cent Is offered. Nevada
!. called upon to furnish the sum of
.2S6s.s5s.0O. This amount no doubt
,s based upon the statements furnish
ed by national banks as required.
That Nevada will raise her share
,s not to be doubted. She has never
boen called and found to be Stacker.
The Nevada Consolidated Copper
company In this district, as told by
the News last Sunday, will subscribe
for 81 600 100000 worth of the bonds
and of this sum $500,000.00 or half
this liberal subscription will be placed
IN White Pine County. This of Itself
gives us a good start and from the
farms. the shons and the mines, as
we'll as the offices and the mercantile
establishments will come subscrip-
tons which will bear evidence of the
lberality as we'll as the patriotism
Of our citizens.
It IL safe to say that many wage
earners will subscribe for bonds
ranging from $4,000 up. OF course
We all appreciate the fact that our
brave boys at the front cannot fight
unless we feed them as well as fur
nlsh them the ammunition, clothing
and other necessities. There boys
stand willing and ready to give up
their lives for the honor Of our
country and the defence Of the Amer
ican homo in the greatest war in all
the world. Are we at home going TO
neglect them and even hesitate to
furnish them with all necessary to
carry on the great battle, when they
stand willing and ready to carry the
great portion of the burden even TO
the sacrifice OF that most dear to any
human being. That they will be
cared for as we'll as II Is possible TO
care for them under all the circum-
stances must never be doubted and
It therefore becomes the duty OF every
patriotic citizen not to walt but I'M
mediateiy step up to the line at home
BY purchasing his Liberty Loan Bond
and assuring the boys at the front
that Just 80 long as the battle may
last they will be given every encour-
sgement and that We stand ready and
willing to do our share.
In this district the wages are good,
and the community is generally pros
porous Never before in Its history.
In fact. has II been as prosperous as
Il Is today. This should be consider
ed an additional reason why we
should come 10 the front with such
financial aid as may be required and
that such will be the case should
never be in doubt.

BANDIT IS CAUGHT IN ELY

About six o'clock last Tuesday
night, A. V. Smith was arrested in
Ely on a charge Of having been one
OF the bandits who held up and rob-
bed the train between Wendoyer and
Gold Hill. iSheriff Adamson of
Tooele. accompanied by ]. IL. Nickel
lar and Deputy Sheriff McMullen OF
Elko, trailed Smith from the scene
of the hold-up into Ely. The arrest
was made In a saloon at the lower
end of Aultman street and was an ex-
cellent piece of work on the part OF
the officers.
The robbery occurred at $3.50 Mon
day morning and soon after Sheriff
Adamson was on the scene to take
up the trail. He traced the bandits.
Bert Christie and Jack Dempsey. to
Gold Hill and arrested them.
During the robbery Charles Bar
berg of Salt Lake City was shot
through the leg by one of the ban
dts, and Mrs. George Newcomb,
pioneer resident of Ely, is
said to have lost valuable diamond.
She was on her way to Join her hus-
band at Gold Hill when the robbery
took place.
The robbers were said to have se-
cured considerable money and jew
elry from the passengers, and mail
pouches we're rifled, but according to
last reports none of the registered
mail was disturbed.
On Wednesday morning Sherin
Adamson took Smith to Tooele, where
he will face a federal charge of rob-
bing the United States malls. The
others will be arraigned In Wendover
where the witnesses are most acces-
sible.
According to the story told, at a
roint about seventeen miles south OF
Wendover a red light was seen on
the track. The train was brought to
stop and an Investigation was
made. One of the train crew was
about to pick up the lantern when a
bandit told him to "leave that alone
and beat 1t back as fast as you can. =
The order was complied with In
the meantime the other bandits had
boarded the train at the point OF
their revolvers and ordered the crew
to throw up their hands. The pas
sengers we're ordered out of the train
and while one stood guard and COM
manded hands up another panalt
rlfled pockets of the victims, taking
such money and jewelry as could be
found. Having completed their work
the robbers attempted to make their
get a',ay in an automobile, but the
officers were just trifle too fast for
them.

our country and the glory of the Flag.
We are proud OF these boys. We
have faith in this great army of
young men to meet any foe on the

While engaged as an ambulance
driver transporting injured French
soldiers, Paul G. Osborn, of Montclair
y. j.. Dartmouth graduate, was
fatally injured. His body lay for a
time In a little field chapel at Char
Ions, covered with a great American
flag. On June 26th, the day when
the first United States troops were
landing on French soil, the body was
borne to the grave. The French Cen
eral spoke these eloquent words in

these articles have been found In

had been made by some woman for
our own soldiers or the Allies.
We have followed up every COM

found that 1t has been merely hear
