Armistice Day Observed.

A year ago last Tuesday, Nov. 18th,
the armistice was signed, ending the
great war; While the peace pact has
not yet been officially signed, and our
country, therefore, technically is at
war with Germany and her allies, the
day of the signing of the armistice is
for all practical purposes the occasion
of happy memories to all citizens OF
the warning nations. Our soldiers,
sailors and marines, their parents, 9TH
er relatives and friends, and with them
the whole nation, rejoiced that the war
had come to an end, and more so be-
cause it had come to a successful issue,
our army and navy having covered
themselves and their nation with glory,
not only because they fought well, but
because they, to man, were imbued
with the spirit that our end of the war
was battle for principles and ideals,
not for power, territory and advantage.
The day was observed throught the
country this year. In Edgerton bust
ness was suspended for brief period;
the flag was displayed on public and
private buildings, some of the business
places were decorated with bunting.and
flags The schools and other organiza-
tions and citizens in general joined in
the procession, and to the assembled
throngs City Attorney Geo. Blanchard
delivered patriotic address, the intro
duction being made by the mayor, Mr..
Leary. Mr. Blanchard called attention
to the debt we owe the heroes, the
dead as well as the living. And he
called upon the returned soldiers to
take the leadership in solving the prob
lens confronting the nation at this
time, in an American way. Mr.. Ray
mond led the celebrants in community
singing. The Edge. ton band furnished
music for the march.

"Amen Corner"

The phrase "amen corner is said
: TO have originated in London, where,
at the end of the Paternoster row.
the monks at one time finished their
recitation of the "Pater Noster" as
they went to procession on Corpus
Christi day at. st. Paul Cathedral.
They began in Paternoster row with
the Lords prayer in Latin, continu-
ing it to the end of the street, and
then said "amen" at the corner of the
row. AS used in this country the
phrase describes the corner Of q
church where the elderly members sit
and pronounce the word amen at
intervals.

HvSKINS' LOSS

Concerning his loss of lifetime's
hard work, c. p. Hoskins said he at
first thought he only had $500 in
surance, but another policy for $500
was found this morning. He had al
lowed another policy to lapse during
the winter. intending to renew II
when dry weather again approached.
But he kept putting it off. The re-
port that he had just unIoaded car
load of -four yesterday. valued at
$4,000. was a mistake. Instead it was
a carload of oats, valued at $11OO
Hoskins said he had just INSTALLED a

MANY DANGLING WIRES

"A large mass of wires festooned
across Bridge street from railroad
telegraph poles half an hour after
the fire started. necessitating a
guard to warn automobiles and pc
destrians from running into them.
1t was feared they might have
crossed some high-voltage cables
which were yet "alive."
Power and light wires burned or
and dropped in Sixth street during
the early stages of the fire. At one
time it was reported that young
man had been electrocuted by COM
ing in contact with one of them. 1t
seemed that two or three persons
did receive considerable "jolts."
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1919-08-07

To this total of approximately 500.
900 must be added the known but un-
estimated losses of smaller buildings
effects stored in the warehouse and
personal property OF guests at the
hotels. Altogether ii seems safe to
say the total damage would reach
s125 900 If itemized.

SAVING HOsKINs' COAL

At 1880 o'clock last night two

large pile of coal, estimated at 200
tons, in the ruins of the Hoskins
warehouse. 1t was stated by a by
stander that Mr.. Hoskins had re-
ceived and placed in the warehouse
yesterday $4,000 worth Of -four. 1t
was also stated that but a very small
amount of insurance was carried on
the warehouse and it's contents, and
that the personal loss will be very
heavy. Mr.. Hoskins was not seen
last night.

got up to investigate and in the
meantime Mrs. Gillian looked
through a hole in the fence and
screamed that the barn behind the
Shone house, and also behind the

Gillian says the boys had appar-
emily put some hay in an upright
manger and set 1t afire. He heard
one say: Throw some more on.
And the other answered: mo, that's
enough to burn up the barn"

The town paused and held its
breath last night when, at 7:25, it
thought it detected three taps of
the fire-alarm bell, in place Of the
customary two taps, the signal for
practice of the fire department. In
a few seconds the suspense was end
ed, for three bells rang clearly. 1t
meant fire. Looking in the direction
indicated by the alarm, thin cloud
of blackish smoke could be seen ris-
ing over Sixth street, between Bridge
and Melarkey.
In a minute and a half the fire
truck was seen nosing its way out
of its house. In another minute it
was at the fire. There were citizens
enough ON the scene to give what
ever assistance was necessary. BY

Occupants of the Shone House,
which building was almost connect

board fences, hurriedly packed their
belongings. and willing helpers rap
idly emptied the building of its con-
tents. 1t seemed impossible that it
could be saved.
Fortunately, and in marked con-
trast with recent evenings in Winnie
mucca, the wind was light; and, just
as it seemed the rear of the Shone
House was af1re, what breeze there
was shifted to the north, and the
firemen were given one last chance
to save the hotel.
By this time, not more than twenty
minutes from the start of the fire,
