Countess Famine the well known phil

But the operation of this primitive
court suffered severe jolt when the
case of l.. NJ. Bramson. Il popular lead
up for trial. Bramson was charged
with publishing several articles of
evolutionary character" in
one of the Socialist papers. When he
entered the courtroom the spectators
rose and cheered tumultuously.
The President of the court attempt
ed to stop the demonstration, but his
words were drowned in the noise and
he motioned to the officer on duty to
clear the room. This caused storm
of indignant protests. Amid the din
and noise one could make out; This
you call a popular tribunal" you
want to make torture chamber
here." "You may drive us out with
;bayonets we will not leave the
room!"
Bramson also protested against the
attempt to deny him public trial
Unable to restore order, the Presi,
dent of the court called armed guards,
directed that the prisoner be taken
back to prison and adjourned theI
session.
When Bramson was being led out of
the room many rushed to congratu-
late him. shook his hand and an eX-
cited young woman seized his hand
and kissed it. And long after Bran.

whom was Peshekhonoff.. Minister of

mained and heatedly argued against
the methods of the new tribunal.
In the future offenses of this nature
will be tried by special revolution

During the first half of the game,
the Junior girls seemed to have an
edge on the Senior team, playing ag.
gressively and retaining possession
of the ball the greater part of the
time. getting it to Miss Gladys Cor

Senior girls was the excellent work
of Miss Mossholder, whose guarding
of Miss Gorsuch, the recognized point

dashing floor game, but was unable
to get the ball through the basket.
An exhibition game was staged by

Engineers from the state highway

The speed limit is II miles and no
one seems to care If 1t is exceeded
100 per cent, but opinion has been
expressed that when it is exceeded
200 and more per cen the onse-
quent exhilarating effect on the
drivers causes them to forget that

much right to cross one without

drivers have to establish records
for speed on them.
1t Is also the opinion that in gen.

Of the violations are by drivers of

DRAFTED BOY ARRIVES

The happiest man in Goldfield
yesterday was w. M. Cunningham
and his joy that was evident every
where he went was caused by the
news that his son, William, who
left here with one of the draft con-
tingents, had arrived in France. A
card received from him merely
stated that he had arrived safely
and gave his address as Co. E. 161st

mody, formerly well known here
and who went to Camp Lewis from
Tonopah, also recently arrived in
France, apparently at about the
same time as Cunningham.

TUNGSTEN is
NOW SHIPPED

With the equivalent of a carload
of tungsten ore going out from Mill
City to the Toulon mill daily, pros
pecting and development of schee-
lite properties in that section have
become quite active. The price of
the tungsten concentrates has reach
ed the point where there is consid-
cradle money in mining the ore and
in the opinion of men familiar with
the market there is little likelihood
of lower prices for several months
and possibly during the period of
the war
On the property of the Mill City
Tungsten Mining company, of which
Thomas Sutton is manager, there
are twenty-three men employed.
The Olson ground, which is nearby,
has several miners getting out ore
and the Nevada Humboldt company
is increasing its force rs conditions
will permit. These operators are
regular shippers. There are also a
number of prospectors and miners
who are opening up ground, but
are not in the shipping class yet.
Four eight-horse and ten-horse
freight teams are kept busy hauling
to the railroad, the mines being
about six miles west of Mill City
