TWO JANITORS
SENTENCED FOR
STORE THIEVINC

S. A. Daniels, the jeweler, had been
missing a piece of jewelry now and
then from his store for some time
without being able to catch the thief,
until yesterday when he made up his
mind that his janitor, Willie James
Mitchell, colored, knew something of
what was going on. Swearing out a
search warrant, he turned the janitor
over to Sheriff Harvey, who first un-
earthed a missing gold ring and later
a $25 watch chair, the latter of which
Mitchell had sold for SO, but which was
recovered from the purchaser.
During the examination of Mitchell,
a kodak was produced, which the ne
gro said he had bought Saturday from
a local dealer. Further questioning,
however, brought out the information
that he had bought the kodak from
Ben Lee Carter, janitor at w. H. c..
Dudley's bicycle and kodak store. Ben
Lee was promptly arrested, and being
shown the kodak admitted that he had
stolen it from Mr.. Dudley. The lat
ter, on being apprised of the find, de-
clared that although he had not yet
missed this particular piece of prop
erty, he had in the past lost several
kodaks.
Both negroes were taken before
Judge Harper, of the City court, late
Monday afternoon, where they entered
pleas of guilty and were each SEN
fenced to 10 months on the chain gang
or pay fines of 500.

Years ago Andrew Carnegie was
alking with his friend, Roswell Miller,
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st Paul Railway.
"Ros Miller" the ironmaster said
IF ever l have daughter she'll learn
something worth while about raising
babies, cooking, sweeping and max
ing beds-she'll be no dressed-up
doll"
And if ever I have u boy, Andy,
he'll learn to work with his hands,
just like u.s. said Roswell Miller.
"Yes. and 1 hope, Ros, they'll IL marry
each other
And ure enough thi IS Just what
has hal ntned.
The br de is the richest heiress in
the word. but there ~ ioubt that
on the death of her father she will
be one of the richest women in the
world. She will, however, inherit but
small portion of the tremendous
wealth that her father accumulated
and then gave away, in Twentieth
Century Philanthropy that has had no
counterpart in the history of the
world.
This daughter, who is to be heiress
to the Carnegie millions is a quiet
unostentatious miss, of whom the
world has heard little and seen less.
The world knew Andrew had a
daughter, but knew little of her eX-
cept that she avoided display and pub
licity, lived quiet, normal American
girl life among her immediate school
associates and was patterned much
after the way of her father, in the
desire to distribute the family wealth
among worthy enterprises.
"A true love watch" said the close
friends of Miss Carnegie and Ensign
Miller, when they heard recently of
the engagement. A year or so ago
they met in New York, just as young
folks meet in public functions or pri-
vate social affairs. Novelists would
have the rich heiress rescued by a
gallant hero, but there appears to
have been nothing of the spectacular
or melodramatic in the romance OF
this young pair. 1t was just an old
fashioned American love romance.
Not long ago Miller was graduated
from Columbia university. When the
war broke out he was in charge of his
fathers interests, with an Office on
lower Broadway, where he was learn
to play the great American game of
business and finance. Soon after the
declaration of war he went to France
and served for time as an ambulance
driver, but returned to this country
after the United States went into the
conflict. and by hard work succeeded
in winning a commission in the navy
and attached to Squadron of the sub
marine division.
In Pittsburg, where his father
started in life as bobbin boy in mill
where he worked for twenty cents a
day Miss Carnegie was early known
for her charities. At 12 years OF age,
it is related, she began to interest
herself in behalf of many worthy af-
fairs. 1t was said to have been mainly
through her influence that many social
movements, including the Kingsley
Settlement House, various hospitals,
etc, were underwritten by the steel
king.

Jules Vedrines was one of the lead
ing French airmen. He was one of the
first Frenchmen to take up aviation
and during 1911 ami 1912 was very ac-
tive in aerial races in Europe, winning
the Paris Madrid race, finishing fourth
in the European circui, race, making
various records for height. distance
and speed, and finishing second in the
British circuit race. He was one OF
the first aviators to fly from London
to Paris, doing this on Aug. a, 1911.
In April, 1912, Vedrines was in
jured seriously by the fall of his ma
chine at st. Denis. He recovered and
in September of that year won the in
ternational Aviation race at Chicago.
In 1913 he flew from Paris to Cairo.
Vedrines served in the French aerial
service early in the war and was later
made an instructor. On Jan. 10 this
year he accomplished the feat OF

BADGER FIGHTS YET
DISGRACE THE STATE

That the late Legislature adjourned
without enacting stringents laws to
prohibit the barbarous practice Of
badger fighting, disgraces the fair
fame of Nevada. Bull fights over the
line in Mexico, prize fights in Reno,
and claim-jumping in out-of-the-way
places may be reprehesible, but they
can never compare in downright in
humanity to the alleged sport Of
roping a small, inoffensive, bald
headed badger and dragging it before
the rapacious jaws of an overgrown
coyote dog. That one of these events
was staged in the very capital of the
State during the legislative session,
and was denounced by the speaker
pro tenn of the Assembly, is but en-
phasizing the disgrace of our much
loved State. The White Pine News
recounts the latest outrage of this
kind, as follows:
Although Ely has adopted nearly
all of the Blue Laws there is one
practice that continues TO be a blot on
the otherwise bright and shining rec
ord of the community. and that is the
cruel sport of badger fighting. Last
night, in front of the late Capitol sa-
LOOM, one of these fierce and blood
less battles was staged between a
well-known dog and a savage speci-
men of a badger of the genus diploid-
conoid.
MANY bets were laid as to the re-
suit of the fight between the dog and
the animal commonly known as the
bald badger. So many of the by
ISLANDERS. in fact, had money bet on
the fight that it was almost impos-
sible to find a man to pull the badger
out of the barrel in a fair way in
order not to give the dog an advan-
tage.
j. p. Sullivan, a travelling sales
man for the firm of Hamilton &
Brown, finally gave out the informa-
ton that he had not placed any cash
on the fight, and he was allowed to
handle the rope that would bring the
reluctant beast out into the open.
"The salesman grasped the rope
firmly, turned his back and dragged
vigorously on the hemp, when out
bounded the badger and pursued the
astonished salesman down the street.
He was rescued, however, by willing
friends and escorted to the nearest
resort of passed-by-the-censor beyer-
ages, where his nerye we're soon quiz
eted with the aid of near-beer."
The Silver State hereby calls upon
Governor Boyle for another procla-
mation-even if he is a Democrat.

SOME STILL HOPE THERE ARE
GHOSTS IN SPARKS R.R. SHOPS

Are there spooks in the Sparks
machine shops or not? asks the Trib-
une. 1t is a question that puzzles a
whole lot of men who are employed
in the shops at night. Take it at the
midnight hour, when work is stopped
for the lunch period and no one is
busy with the machines; each ma
chine, in fact, shut off. The men will
be enjoying their repast and making
the most of the rest period, when
suddenly one of the machines will
start going. This machine will be
shut off only a few minutes later to
have another one of the lathes or
drills start operations. There won't
be a soul within many feet of the
machine that starts running and no
human agency will be where it can
possibly start the machines, yet they
start. This has happened not once
only. 1t happens two or three times
every night at that particular hour
when the men are all resting and
partaking of their midnight luncheon.
One predetermined cuss, who
has no imagination and is only IN
terested in cold-blooded facts, saws
that this is caused by the electrical
contacts being loose, the least jar
will result in an application of power
to the machines at the points where
contacts are made. OF course that
might do for some sort of an expla-
nation, but it is much more weird
and much more conducive to mystery
to feel that the invisible hand of
some former machinist has reached
down from the spirit world and
started his old machine to operate.
