On the fourth of July, Mrs. Sheets
wrote her sister from 0atman that

heat with the mercury standing be-
tween 105 and 1876 for the past three
weeks She added that as soon as
the heat moderated she would leave
and It is inferred that a cool wave
must have caused the lady to EN-
bark on the voyage which proved
her last She was expected to ar
rive in Goldfield last night and her
mother and one of her brothers had
arranged to go to Goldfield by auto
to bring her home.

CATTLEMEN HELD
ON GRAVE CHARGE

One OF the most sensational
cases of alleged cattle rustling has
been brought to & focus in this
county through the arrest of John
Esser and Joe May, both cattlemen
halllng from the Beatty district
where they own extensive ranges
and are counted among the wealthy
cattle owners of southern Nevada.
The defendants had their prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Burt,

district court In bonds OF S25OO

FIGHT over THREE NILES HIGH

mans well out to sea. fighting Wig
orously all the time but handicapped
by the low visibility. Reports OF
heavy firing received from various
quarters indicates that the authori-
ties have made considerable improve
ment in the defenses since the last
raid over London.
Sundays attempt lasted barely two
hours. Thousands of persons turned
out along the coast when the Brit
ish planes were up, in the hope
of seeing battles in the air, but the
eombatants soon disappeared in the
haze.
A correspondence the Exchange
Telegraph company telephoned from
the Isle of Thanet that warning sig
nails sounded in number OF coast
towns and that a number of air
planes which were already in the air
proceeded in the direction Of the
firing followed by fighting planes.
Soon the signal that the raiders had
been driven off was given.
A correspondent of the Exchange
that seven German Taube planes
crossed the Essex estuary flying from
the west at 6:45 o'clock in the
morning. Others followed at intervals
until about $50 o'clock. In all about
twenty machines passed and disap-
peared toward the sea without drop
ping bombs.
A correspondent in Essex Of the
Exchange Telegraph company reports
that he witnessed an arial battle that
lasted almost an hour.
A squadron of seven German air.
craft travelling in a westerly direc-
tion, encountered a number OF Brit
ish planes which compelled then to
turn northward. They went in this
direction about half mile and then
swept to the East.
One German machine was cut off
from the main body and surrounded
by three British airplanes which
drove it in the opposite direction
until all four were lost in the haze.
The pursuit of the others contin-
ued, all the machines climbing to
greater height as they fought They
attained an altitude of $4,000 to 49,
900 feet and were soon lost to sight.
Some excitement was caused in
London by the sounding of raid warn
ings. Persons who believed anti-air-
craft guns were in action made a
rush for cover, the tube stations
we're favorite places of refuge. Early
morning services in the churches pre-
ceeded without interruption.
About an hour after the first warn
ing the police again appeared on the
streets with placards announcing
that all was clear.
There is little doubt an attempt
was made to reach London. In CIV
ing notice that warning signals would
be fired the authorities announced
that such warnings would not be
given until it appeared from infor'
nation received from the military
that an attack on London was inten
ded.

At about eight o'clock the enemy
machines were seen flying toward the
coast. They received a hot recep'
tion and were hardly well over the
coast before their formation was
broken up. They dropped bombs
hastily before retreating.
Observers say that the gunfire
which followed the section which
went down the Essex coast reached a
pitch of unusual intensity. 1t was
the movements of this squad which
caused the firing for the first time
of new warning signals in London
