HEAVY DAMAGE DONE
BY BOYS ON EAST
SIDE OF TOWN

Depredations by boys we're wide
spread in Goldfield last night and
damage done on the east side of
town was particularly heavy. Dam
age was done on Wednesday night,
but the activity reached it's height
last night, the boys persisting in
their work of destruction despite
shots fired at them and the can
of women who were alone in houses
and who attempted to saw their
property.
While the destruction on We'd
nesday night served as a warning to
people in some districts, the activity
last night found most residents un-
prepared and the boys worked rap
idly and thoroughly, reports from
different districts being to the eff
feet that the damage reached I'M
precedented proportions.
Coming at a time when the aver
age Goldfielder can make his dol
lars count in many ways other than
the repair of his property, wantonly
destroyed, it is the general opinion,
widely expressed today. that the
acts of the boys last night are to be
regretted.
AS the boys were not seriously
Numbered in their raids last night,
they may continue them tonight,
unless there is more than one
officer to police the town. But,
now that the damage already
done will serve as a warning to
property holders who have not yet
suffered, there is no question but
that the temper of the people is
such that they will vigorously de-
fend their property tonight and be
better prepared to do so than last
night.
While injury to a boy would
be regretable, there Is little doubt
that property holders on the east
side, aroused as they are by the acts
of last night, will defend them
selves to the limit if, in the face Of
the destruction already caused by
them, the boys persist in making
raids tonight.
Whoever may or may not be indi-
rectly responsible for what occurred
last night, it is the general opinion
that blame for the entire matter
can be placed squarely on the Shout
ders of the boys parents, who, 1t Is
reasonable to suppose, knew they
we're turning their children loose on
the two particular nights in the
year when they were liable to do
damage. At least the ringleader of
the most destructive gang was iden-
titled last night and his actions
were such, according to reports
from persons who witnessed them,
that could his parents have been
present, they would have been far
from proud of him.

ESTABLISHMENT OF GOVERNMENT
IN RUSSIA Will BE DIFFICULT

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 2. - If any
nation or outside leader attempts to
set up a stable government in Rus
STA they doubtless will find the mer-
curial Russians a difficult lot to
satisfy. They have plenty of ideas
and opinions, but lack action.
THE trouble with Russians is
that they believe opinions are
achievements" recently said a
prominent American who is familiar
with Russian affairs. This certainly
characterizes many Of the Russians
who are now waiting in Scandinav-
ia for something to happen in Rus
STA. They are criticizing the allies
for failure to act more speedily in
Russia.
Their changeableness Is surpris-
ing. The very leaders who we're
loudest in denouncing the Brest
peace treaty were soon hobnobing
with the Germans. Paul Milyukoff
and other leaders of the extreme
right who had pretended great

STRICT HEALTH RULES
TO GUARD G0LDF|ELD
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES CLOS
ED AND SALOONS MADE
CHAIRLESS

Over so cases of influenza have
developed in Tonopah and four
deaths occurred yesterday, accord
ing to this mornings Tonopah
Times. The Elks' hall has been
converted into a hospital with 20
beds and the Knights of Columbus
hall, with space for rs beds, has
been placed at the disposal of ply
sicians.
DR.. C. j. Richards, county health
officer, states that a large percent
age of the cases reported are
among Indians and Mexicans and
hat influenza is gaining rapidly
among the M~exicans, who take no
precautions against contracting the
disease. Flu" is spreading rap
idly at Nina.
There are no cases in Goldfield.
Influenza in Reno and other
places in the northern part of the
state is decreasing rapidly. Only
four new cases were reported in
Reno yesterday, a decline of three
from the previous day.
DR.. Mccarthy, county physician.
has directed that chairs and tables
be removed from all saloons and
card games prohibited and that con-
gregating there ore elsewhere must
be strictly prohibited by owners
and the peace officers of the city
and county.
The Elks had already taken ac-
ton along hat line.
DR.. Mccarthy is very insistent
that all cases of influenza be report
ed promptly to him, as required by
the health regulations of the state,
and unless this be done the control
of the epidemic will be more diff
cult and the needless sacrifice of
life may follow.
The schools and churches have
also been ordered closed and it is
highly desirable that every person
constitute himself or herself a
guard, if not an officer, to see hat
the regulations prescribed by the
law and the authorities are strictly
observed and enforced.

the aggressions of Germany. the presi-
dent sad:
"We are fighting, therefore, as truly

The president recalled that farmers
fired the first shots at Lexington that
set afiame the American revolution for
liberty, and expressed the hope and
belief that American farmers now will
willingly and conspicuosly stand by
to win this war He said the farmers
did not want themselves exempted
from military service as class, but
that the attention Of the war depart
ment was centered upon the task OF
interfering with farm labor as little
as possible and he believed that in the
next draft the farmers would find
their labor much less seriously drawn
upon than in the first.

II Handle Asparagus Crop.

Many Of the members Of the South
Carolina Asparagus Growers Associa'
ton have been very much concerned
over the railroad situation, and were
doubtful whether or not it would be
wise to spend any considerable sum
for fertilizers 70 use on this years
crop. This matter was taken up di
rectly with Senator B. R. Ti!lman and
he has heen active in looking after the
interests Of The growers.
On January %. Secretary McAdoo
director general Of railroads, wrote
seratcr Tillman as follows:
''N@:rr ,~ttcr cf January was duly
received We believe and expect that
the railroads viii be able to handle
the asparagus crop to which you re
fer. Certainly everything in our power
will be done to accomplish that re-
suit"
It would seem from this that Sena
tor TilIman has been able to take care
of the asparagus growers in this mat
ter, and that they need have no un'
easiness about getting their crops
handled this coming spring as here
tofore.
