MATT HEBRON RECEIVES
BAD INJURY FROM FALL

Matt Heron suffered painful and
what was at first thought to be a
serious accident last Friday when he
fell several feet from a ladder at the
rear OF the courthouse and struck the
hard gravel walk head first.
Mr.. Heron was engaged in remov-
ing from the rear OF the jail a por-
tion OF the leader pipe. which had
been damaged by a building which
was being moved to the courthouse
grounds for the purpose OF storing
the large quantity OF road machinery
and automobile supplies which is
coming to the county preparatory to
the road work up Robinson canyon.
which will soon be under way. While
standing on the second rung from the
top OF the ladder and pulling down a
piece OF the leader pipe Mr.. Heron
lost his balance and fell.
An X-ray examination proved that
no bones were broken but Mr.. Her
ron is now suffering from a sprain
of the right ankle and bruises prac-
tically all over his body He Is the
stamp OF man who refuses to give up
for the ordinary injury and refused
to remain In bed. hut il will be some
time before he will be able to go
about without the aid OF a crutch.

Just at break of day innocent resi-

in the habit of enjoying the big sleep
on Sunday morn, were awakened by
the terrific bombardment. Had the
disarmament conference been con-
cluded in dismal failure. or was Ar
mistiee day but dream, were the
questions repeatedly asked until the
eyes were clearly opened and a real
ization of the fact that the greatest
of all days had arrived dawned upon
those who had been so ruthlessly
awakened from their peaceful slIm-
bers. These questions having been
settled and the smoke of battle hav-
ing died away, then other questions

Ne,c Plan to Finance
Highway Construction

The Nevada state board of finance
has decided TO put into effect a plan
which will be less burdensome upon
taxpayers of the state in financing
highway construction to be under
taken in the future. Instead of main
tanning a large highway revolving
fund out OF which to make all pay
ments while waiting for remittanees
from the federal government and
from the counties In which the work
is done, says the Carson News. the
counties will be required to make
such deposit sufficiently large to en-.
able payments to be made without
tie sale Of additional highway bonds
or again reach the revolving fund
mark OF 100000 or more. The
board has decided to pay interest on
money advanced In paying the con-
struction proportion for the counties
when the counties have the money In
their treasures.
Naturally definite statement rs To
requirements and rules to be fol-
lowed will awail other adjustments
to be made In carrying out the pro.
visions OF the Phipps-Dowell bill ano
regulations governing its operation
so that the new Nevada plan may IN
no manner conflict with what the
government agents Will require.

american Legion Dance
Holds the Record in Ely

The dance given under the auspices
OF the American Legion by way OF
an Armistice day celebration in Bijc
hall last Friday night was one OF the
greatest successes of the season and
is said to have been one OF the most
successful aud enjoyable dances ever
given in this district
Deputy District Attorney v. II.
Vargas delivered short speech of
welcome to the guests and his re-
marks were met with liberal ap-
plause.
The music furnished by Butts,
Rooney and Nenuto was of the usual
high order and the merry throng
joined in singing and whistling with
the orchestra as the dancers entered
into the spirit of merrymaking as
the happy hours passed by
The nights entertainment was
augmented by the excellent singing
of William Coleman and William
Cornwall. Both the popular singers
were at their best and their splendid
voices ringing through the air
brought storms of applause from the
large gathering
The confetti battle proved an add
ed attraction and as the bright COL
ors were flashed about the hall all
seemed TO enjoy the sport to the ut
most.
While a success from every angle
nothing could be too good for the
boys under whose auspices the dance
was given.
