And the woman. being perfectly re-

down.
Marie heard it. She came out or
the kitchen and sought an explana-
ton from her husband.
With two women after him, Tom
got excited. He couldn't stand TO
hear both talking at once.
As Marie was nearest to him, he
grabbed her and beat her.
He was arrested. He refused to ex-
plain why he had hurt his wife.
Her head was bandaged up and her
heart was almost broken.
Tom sat still and said nothing. He
had spoken his piece.
The court let him have thirty days.
Who Is Hard-boiied Nowf
Speaking of hard-boiled eggs
A short time ago Sophie Harper, a
young bride, called on Ellwood
Thomas. her cousin, and his wife
As usual, they quizzed the young
bride and asked her a great many
questions concerning married life.
Are you sure you know how to
cook? Can you boil an egg YETI"
Mrs. Thomas asked the bride at the
end of the examination.
Il sure kin do dat" answered So
phie. II do 1t cherry day."
Ellwood, who was> about ready to
retire. sarcastically remarked. Dat
gal doan need to know how to bile
an egg. She married a hard boiled
one"
Mrs. Thomas was shocked. She
called her husband down for his i'm
politeness. Sophie began to cry.
Suddenly she lit into Ellwood and
toid him a few things That made
him feel sorry.
He put his arms around her to
comfort her and she pushed him
away. E-s
Angered, Ellwood smacked her
face. He swore at her. He repeated
the unkind remark. a

Sometimes it happens that a woman
is not sure which of two men she
loves. :.
After telling the court that she
didnt love James NJ. Simpson and
e'.es Shc ohiy ilheu nlm as a gOO0
friend, a certain young woman has
come forward and agreed to marry
simpson, thereby being the cause Of
his getting out ofTjaii.
simpson got six months for having
a revolver, which the yolice say he
was going to use on the woman.
The man had been told by the
woman that she already had an in
tended, and therefore couldn't let him
hang around any longer
Simpson got his gun ready. He was
nabbed at the Union Station by De-
tective Springman.
After he was sentenced the young
woman did some tall thinking.
TIL result was that. Simpson was
brought up from Jail. He told the
court that he and the young woman
had agreed to marry.
Therefore the court thought it best
offer>|him means to get out of
the jug and marry the woman.
And SO his sentence was changed
from six months in Jail to $500 fine

AN EDITORIAL

Remarks were heard today con-
cerning the Bridge street work. The
eomplainants were autoists and busi-
ness men. Several days ago the new
road scarifier and grader recently
purchased by the city was pulled over
Bridge street. tearing up the gravel
and later grading the street. Since
then work seems to have ceased.
Without wanting to criticize. may ii
be suggested that chuck holes now
developed be cleaned of loose dirt and
gravel substituted? Also. if the
sprinkling cart were kept on the
torn-up street for couple of days it
might accomplish two purposes, one
of packing the dirt and gravel and
the other of preventing every gust of
wind from carrying a good portion of
the street into peoples eyes and the
stores.
The Silver State seldom considers
1t necessary to express personal
opinion in news columns, but in this
case it appears time and quick atten-
tion are factors. Thanks.

WILLARD DISTRICT
GIVEN NEW NAME

A meeting of the miners and ope-
rators in the old Willard district was
held last week and a new district was
formed, including most of the old VIII
lard district. and named "Loring dis
trict." t. w. Ward was elected re-
corder for the district.
The Willard district was born about
the time Willard knocked out Jack
Johnson at Havana and became worlds
heavyweight champion. The change in
the name of the district at this time
is significant.
The latest company to begin active
work is the Nevada Honey Bee Com
pany, which controls the Finland,
Ford, Honey Bee properties. r. ]. d.
Salter, president and manager of the
company, has just returned from east
ern cities. where he succeeded in rails
ing over quarter of a million to
carry on development work.
President Salter, Engineer Bell, A.
Benedict and T. NJ Ward went out
to the mine Sunday to start the pre-
liminary work. A gang of laborers
were put to work cleaning and level
ing the ground and a gallows frame
and hoist are to be put in place at
once. A compressor, jackhammers
and other equipment necessary is on
the way to the mine from Mill City.
One hundred feet more depth is to be
sunk on the fifty-foot shaft, according
to plans. At this depth station will
be cut and sinking will continue to a
depth of 500 feet.
The Sheepherder is still in high
grade ore and it promises to continue.
A new mining company was organ
lied recently to operate in the Willard
district, composed of local men. At
the first meeting of the new company.
the Victory Gold Mining Company,
the following officers and directors
were elected: w. H. Shewan, presi-
dent and general manager; HI. w.
Robinson, vice-president; R. J. Pier
son, treasurer; W. c. Van Hewitt. sec
retary, and B. B. Goodman, director.
They put force of miners to work
on the property. on which they have a
lease and option. There is sixty
five-foot tunnel on the main ledge on
the Tennessee claim which will be
widened to permit the use of mine
cars. which will take about ten days
The group of claims in this lease ad-
join the Sheepherder claim on the
south and on the east are bounded
by the Finland group and Ford, which
were recently purchased by eastern
capital
