Put to shame because his unmar-
ried daughter gave birth to a child,
George w. Rhodes, a well-to-do
farmer near Lebanon Church, Shenan-
doah county, Va, took the new born
infant from the house shortly after 4
o'clock Sunday morning and placed it
alongside the road. The tiny babe
survived the sharp morning air and
was dicovered about O'Clock by
Greenbrier jenkins, who happened to
be passing the spot and heard it cry.
Rhodes was arrested, and said he was
so overcome by the shame Of his
daughter that he acted without thought
of the consequences.

name Of Antelope. This, too, in our
Western World, where antelopes are
unknown and only the traditions of
their marvellous swiftness prevails. The

Noy Chapman Andrews, seeking speci-

VI natural History, made an automobile
trip into the Desert Of Cobb in Mongolia
where he encountered a large herd Of
antcIopes. He was able, by means Of
MS speedometer, to test their pace as
ne raced them in his car.
there were one thousand ante
lopes,' he says, Gin the first herd we
saw AT distance they looked like a
yellow cloud against a hill. They had

when chased. We just went as fast
as we could in our cars and then began

sport, Tor the antelope, with his crcling

Just how fast one of these animals can
run.
lhey ran so fast that we could not
see their legs, any more than YOU can
see the blades Of an electric fan. We
found they would leg it at sixty miles
an hour for about two miles, and then
slow down TO forty or fifty. We chased
an antelope one day for twenty minutes
at an average rate of forty miles an
hour, and then he quit because he was
so surprised that anything on earth
could keep UP with him. When we
reached him he was souatting fat on

wolf that was trying to get at a herd of
antelopes chased along on one side of
the car for six miles while the antelopes
were trying to circle on the other. When
the eXasperated wolf tried to climb
aboard the motor a bullet broke its
back, but it kept on climbing until shot
again.
Against such an eager and relentless
foe, the one defense of the antelopes
is speed; and nature has provided them
with speed from the moment they enter
the world. A baby antelope can run
virtually as soon as it is born, and at
an age still to be reckoned in hours it
can outrun a horse.

into A DEATH

Mrs, Ruth Rutledge, aged q years
died last evening at the county hos
pital where she was recently ad.
mitted on application of ladies in
Manhattan. The unfortunate woman
was suffering from injuries that will
probably call for the attention of
the grand jury. Nothing could be
done to save the life of the patient
who died in great agony. Three chill
dren survive. The fathers where
abouts are unknown as the couple
separated some time ago. The father
of the dead woman. John Hatch died
five years ago.
According to the story told by
the kind hearted ladies of Manhattan
a well known married man is likely
to be called to account in connection
with the death.

BOARD ORDERS
AN ADVANCE IN
WATER RATES

A decision in the application OF
the Water Company of Tonopah for
an increase In water rates was re-
ceiyed this morning from the Nevada
Public Service Commission, The ac'
ton is favorable to the company and
will have the effect of saving con-
sumers who now pay between SO and
y a month, an average of 80 cents
month on their bills. Consumers
using above 1900 gallons will have
to pay a slight increase. On the
present schedule consumers using be-
tween 10000 and 1880, a total of
$500 gallons sor the sum Of $3.50.
For the qaa1tity between 1880 and
$4,000 gallons the company would
receive only go cents, The new
schedule eliminates the ambiguity OF
the charge as the scale gets less
gradually as the quantity increases.
The rate for domestic use makes a
minimum charge of So per month
for /, 2, 3, and 4-room houses
against the former minimum of $125
a month for two-room houses. The
commercial minimum of $3.50 is not
changed.
M handing down the opinion Col.
Scrugham reviews the business of
the company to the extent of show
ing that the average net return since
1911 had been about 10 per cent and
since 1916 had been about 81 per
cent The report continues: In the
month of December, 1919, the Water
Company of Tonopah had HOO dom
estic consumers of whom 1899, OF
nearly 95 per cent, used less than B.
goo gallons and would practically not
be affected by the proposed change
in rates except few minimum users
Thirty.three of the customers, or
per cent. used more than 5000 gal
Ions but less than 5000 gallons. They
would also be but slightly affected

bic increased return from the pro
posed rates showed il to be abou
