COURT GIVES STERN
TALK To L|T|GANTS

When Al Wallace appeared for sen
tence at 10 o'clock this morning, in
district court, rather dramatic scene
occurred. Wallace was convicted this
week of securing money from Pete
| Egoscue by means of threats, in a
sheep trespass case. He was convict
i ed by jury which remained out six
teen hours, and recommended to the
mercy of the court Judge Callahan,
in commenting the work of the jury,
! said he would pay heed to its recon-
mendation. He therefore fined Wal
lace $500, without any Jail sentence.
The fine was paid.
When the Judge asked the defend
ant if he had anything to say before
sentence was pronounced. the answer
was that he had none. District Attor-
ney Powell, however, said he had
statement to make after the case was
finished. Immediately after the pro-
nouncement of sentence the District
Attorney told the Court that he had
heard threats about the court house
to the effect that if he ever showed
up" around Denio again he was "in
for a big beating" or "the beating of
his life" or something to that effect.
Judge Callahan took notice of the
remarks and made a statement to the
defendant in which he declared that
the time for any taking of law into
individual hands was past in this
country He told Wallace that he had
been dealt with leniently this time,
but If he or his friends came before
the court again on a similar charge
they might expect the extreme penalty.
Trial of the Ellsworth burglary
case is continuing in district court
this afternoon before large audience
and it seems improbable that the case
will be concluded. The defense is
attempting to prove insanity. Dr.
Philip Work of Denver, a specialist in
mental diseases, was on the stand
nearly all day yesterday. He left for
his home last night. DR.. Sweezy is
testifying this afternoon. and Mrs.
Ellsworth will follow him.
The prosecution called four addi-
tional witnesses this afternoon. it was
announced.
The first of six civil cases on the
docket, that of the application of Lou
ise Pedroli for removal of Joe Scott
administrator of the estate of Charlie
PCdroli which had been postponed T.
1880 this afternoon. was again pu
over by necessity.
Other civil matters pending are

Pearl Greinstine v. Nose Greinstine

left are the ones whose chances are
most likely.
The Battle of Ballots has been
waged at a fast pace the past few
days, and many surprises will be
sprung by some of the quiet but steady
workers.
There are liable to be surprises
galore, and disappointments, when
the result is announced; for who
knows how many have bridged the
gap from the bottom to the pinnacle
of success? This uncertainty has
stimulated every candidate to in
crease her vote total by securing
every subscription possible, for each
has realized that her competitors are
doing the same thing.
THERE is STILL TIME
There is still time to make a win
ming race. Reward hovers near, wait
ing for those who have the stamina
to- grasp it. Only little added work
may place you among the happy cir
Gle of candidates who are to be hon.
ored with the splendid prizes to come.
The future holds much in store; it
means a taste from the cup of cheer
and, above all, it means hours of gol-
den sunshine, the sunshine that en-
ters the heart and makes it happy.

Between the dates of Monday, No
vember 3rd, and Saturday, November
Sth, inclusive, 125,0OO extra votes will
be given on every CLUB" of $500 in
collections in addition to the votes on
the subscriptions.
Saturday, November Sth. is the last
day of balloting.
Saturday evening, November 8th, at
10 o'clock The Silver State Circula-
tion Campaign will come to close.
Promptly at the stroke the contest
will be declared closed.
Everything is in readiness for the
last rush of votes and the awarding
of the gifts.
THE LAST CHANCE
Those three words are full of mean
ing. One supreme effort may land the
prize for which you have been work
ing and have set your heart upon. The
friends who have responded with sup
port before can hardly refuse at the
moment when little helping may
mean victory.
1t has been predicted that this will
be a race of narrow margins, hence
every subscription, no matter how
small, may remove a candidate from
defeat to victory. And think what
Victory. the CHEVROLET CAR,
means in this race.
Luxury -pleasure-the very best
things life holds out-are in store for

a matter that only hustle and perse-

The Honor Roll
Thursday, Nov. 1
MRS. ETA BAKER

For the second time since the in
auguration of THE HONOR ROLL in
The Silver State Gift Campaign, Mrs.
Eta Baker holds this position. Mrs.

much in the race until the final bar

With the small plurality of 6025,
Mrs. George B. Austin of Jungo leads
Miss Gemma Pasquale of Paradise
Valley in The Silver State battle of
ballots today, and several others in
the race are right on the heels of the
leaders, but a few subscriptions sepa-
rating several in the campaign.
Miss Mae Barnard makes one of the
biggest gains of the race to date. To-
day this popular candidate moves
from 124,225 votes to 184,225, and is
within touching distance of the leader.
Those who may have had an idea that
Miss Mae was perhaps not strongly
in the running have another guess
coming.
Mrs. C. B. Welshons is another pop
ular and charming candidate who
comes ahead with a whizz and whirl
today. In the Thursday issue of The
Silver State, Mrs. Welshons had 49,
$50 votes. Today she is smiling from
behind a grand total of 186,050 votes.
Miss Ruth Bartoo of Battle Noun
tain polls enough votes today to keep
right along with the leaders, while
Miss Gemma Pasquale is a close secAI
ond to leadership. Mrs. j. M. Lyon,
the popular McDermitt campaign rep
resentative, remains about stationary
today and evidently is allowing 9th
ers to show their hands. While she is
back in the list a trifie at this time,
she is wearing smile that shows no
signs of coming off, and will be heard
from later. Mrs. Eta Baker makes
nice gain today and also manages to
hold her own with the leaders, and is
within touching distance of the top.
Others remain about the same to-
day, but there is an old saying that
still water runs Deep" and it would
be a mighty good idea to keep ones
eye on those down in the list.

United States. may be deported as a
result of sensational admissions he
made upon the witness stand before
the Lusk legislative committee. officials

United States. but had failed to regis
ter as an alien enemy.
The aims OF the Russian bolsheviki

clared that Lenine and Trotsky aim a
worldwide revolution and the overthrow
of all governments. The connection be-
tween the bolsheviki and the commun-

rise in revolt, had been copied by the
communists and used by them for prop
aganda.
Martens explained that he had Sc
cured Russian citizenship under the
sovcet regime by letter.
AN honest man can secure Russian
bolshevik citizenship papers merely by
writing to Lenine at Moscow" said he.

Great Britain and France have been

FACTORIES ASK
FOR CORD WOOD
Wire Army to Be Allowed to
buy Chickamauga n
Supplies.

The seriousness of the coal situa-
tion was brought home Tuesday
morning whsn kilograms were sent
by the Chattanooga Manufacturers
association to the quartermaster-gen
eral of the army at Washington and
Congressman Gordon Lee and John
A. Moon asking that cord wood now
collected at Chickamauga park be
sold for Industrial use.
Many Of Chattanooga's several hum
dred pla,.ts are on the verge of hav-
ing to close down. They are unable
to get coal rnder the recent ruling Of
the regional coal committee. Textile
mills are reported to be in the worst
condition and will be able to run
only two or three days longer II re-
lief Is not sent,
Thousands Of Cords There.
Thousands OF cords of wood belong
ing to the war department are piled
at points in Chickamauga park. The
wood Is merely lying on the ground
rotting, authorities at the camp hav-
ing no authority to sell 1t. Wood
will prove less efficient and several
times as costly as coal, according to
local manufacturers. but plant opera
tors are willing to stand additional
cost both to keep their organizations
intact and prevent suffering which
might follow closing down of the
plants and lack of productivity on
the part of employees.
Manufacturers hope to be able to
secure the cord wood and burn 1t
along with the limited supply of coal
on hand, and thus be able to keep the
wheels of industry going for several
weeks until conditions can be straight
ened out and coal production in
creased. Cord wood is bring about
"a a cord at present.
The following telegram has been
sent by the manufacturers associa :
ton to the quartermaster-g of
the army in Washington:
"A large quantity of wood Is ON
hand at Oglethorpe which could be
utilized by Chattanooga manufacture
ers. Authorities at post have no in
structions to dispose of same. Can
you arrange to sell this wood?"
Congressman Lee and Moon were
wired by the association as follows:

eral that quantities of wood on hand
at Oglethor~e could be used by Chat
