Minnie McQuitty
Dead IN California

Mrs. George Prutsos, better known
as Minnie McQnitty, an Indian, died
at Los Angeles last Tuesday. She
was well known in this district,
where she was born thirty years ago
last March, when her parents then
resided on the site where the power
house now stands In Ely and when
only trails marked what now consti
tutes the streets of the city. April
26 last she was married to George
Prutsos at Elko. the ceremony being
performed by Acting Justice of the
Peace Armstrong.
Minnie, as she was familiarly
known, was a handsome type OF an
Indian woman. She had received far
more advantage by way of education
than most of her race. She not only
spoke the English language fluently
but was subscrier TO publications
by which she kept abreast of the
times.
Death was due TO an operation to
which she submitted for the removal
of her appendix and tumor. News
of her death was conveyed in tel
egram to Mrs. X. G.. Davis. who had
known Minnie from the time of her
birth and for whom the Indian wom-
an had worked almost steadily in
later years.
Interment took place in Los An
paias

credited with 123 votes and the -

jority for Scrugham over Miller In
this county CIT.

Lake Valley Nine
Ships Precipitates

John Smith and Theodore Tarald-
son arrived in Ely Friday night. COM
ing from the Lake Valley mine and
bringing with them the fourth con-
signment of precipitates from the
mill which has recently been put in
operation at the property.
This shipment consists of 125
pounds and will go Immediately to
the plant OF the Selby Smelling ana
Refining Company at San Francisco.
The previous shipments OF precip-
itates from the property have aver
aged a little more than $11 to the
pound and 1t is therefore estimated
that the shipment brought In Fri
day will bring to the company in
round figures 81 500.
The mine officials report satisfac-
tory progress at the property, which
seems now destined to take its place
in the ranks of consistent shippers Of
rich ore.

MANY PRECINCTS SHOW
HEAVY DECREASE IN VOTE

The total number of ballots cast at
the general election held November
in White Pine county was 1926.
which was about So ga per cent of
the names ON the registration list.
which totaled 3706.
The heavisest falling of In the vote
was In McCill. where the number OF
ballots actually cast reached only
So per cent OF TIE names on the reg
istration list, and In East Ely the
percentage was SO 1-3. In the other
large precincts Ruth was In the lead.
where So per cent of the people reg
istered cast their ballots and in Ely
81 per cent.
Melvin appeared as the banner pre-
cnct. where the records show that
the total vote cast exactly equaled
the number registered. This Is ac-
counted for largely by the fact that
the Nevada Northern train crew vot-
ed at Melvin and that also slightly
reduced the percentage of the vote
which would naturally be cast In
East Ely.
Taking into account all contests
between party candidates the vote
showed that of the total 81 per cent
was cast for the democratic candi-
dates against 43 per cent for the re-
publicans.
The number of votes actually cast
and the number of names which ap-
peared on the official register in the
various precincts throughout the
county were as follows:

GAY OLD LOTHAR|O FROM BAKER
IN SERIOUS TROUBLE IN OGDEN

Conviction was never secured as the
evidence showed that Meek had paid
one of the girls $1,000. About four
years ago his second wife secured a
divorce from him. Four months later
Meek was married to Winona Smith,
who has since obtained a divorce
from him and had the court issue an
order directing Meek to appear In
court and show why he failed to pay
alimony.
Meek was arrested in Ogden last
Wednesday by Motorcycle Officer c.
E. Lesser, acting on the instructions
of Chief of Police Curtis L. Allison.
The arrest of Meek came when he
failed TO appear at the police station
at the time promised and Chief Alli-
son sent an officer after him. Meek
remained in the jail building for
about an hour before the details for
the $4,000 bond had been completed.
Meek while waiting for the fur
nishing of bond remained in the of
fieers' room at the city jail He
would not make any statement re-
garding his arrest, declaring that he
did not know much about the case.
He gave his age as 46 and occupation
as that of rancher and residence at
Baker, New.
According to the statement of the
dying girl. Meek was responsible for
her suicide. He was arraigned in
the city court Friday on a felony
charge before Judge d. r. Roberts.
Meek gave cash bail in the sum of
SO 900 and was released.

.REOL|GHT ABATEMENT
MAY DIE NATURAL DEATH

In the redlight abatement suit Of
state of Nevada against Hugh Will
son and others in the district court
Saturday morning Judge McFadden
stated from the bench that the de-
murrer to the complaint, which was
argued by counsel last June, had not
been submitted for decision. and that
he desired briefs to be filed; Attorney
Boreman. deputy attorney general Tor
the state, took issue with the court
on his saying the matter had been
argued and submitted for decision
June IL and that the records of the
court showed this to be the fact.
The court made the order, nev-
ertneless. that defendants file their
their brief within fifteen days, the
plaintiff to have fifteen days there
after to file opposing brief. and then
defendants to have further fifteen
days to reply.
II now seems likely tha. the
suit will thus be given an official
quietus by the end of the year, mas
much as Attorney General Fowlers
term of Office will expire December
81. and with 1t also the appointment
of Mr. Boreman as deputy. and II is
practically impossible In the short
time intervening to get the matter
at issue and tried out All OF which
will naturally prove source of sat-
isfaction to the defendants.

Thief Purloins Barrel
Which Contained Poison

Friday night a fifty-gallon whisky
barrel, which had been left standing
in the rear of the county hospital
mysteriously disappeared. II is sup
posed to have been purloined by soma
"moonshiner" who desired a recepta-
Gle for his product, and II this is the
case 1t will be serious matter for
anyone who Is unlucky enough TO
partake of the compound. The bar
rel had been filled with formaldehyde
IA deadly poison-and. although
empty, the wood is so thoroughly inn
pregnated with the solution as to
make 1t extremely dangerous to be
used as a container for anything in
tended for human consumption.
The county authorities are not
much worried over the loss, but Il is
quite likely that the thief may have
occasion to worry some If he should
use IL for the purposes stated.

The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1922-11-16

A writer in the Sunday Court
er.Journal commenting on the
coming winter forecasts a bad
winter based on the following
facts:
More migratory birds have
gone southwark and gone much
earlier than for many years.
Weather prophets say that this is
one of the surest signs of severe
winter. Few migratory birds
were seen the two years marked
by mild winters.
The weather prophet relies up
on other things to back up his
forecast. The goosebone long
has been associated with winter
representations and the amount
and thickness of the shucks a..
round an ear of corn is believed
to have a bearing on the severity
of the weather during the winter
season.
Another portent much relied
on by those making a winter pre-.
dicted is based on the coat Of fur
bearing animals, upon the theo-
ry that nature takes care of the
animals and provides them with
extra fur to withstand the rIgors
of a severe season. In the same
wsy when squirrels store away
an extra supply of nuts, tradition
has 1t that 1t means long and
hard winter.
The abundant nut yield is
pointed to as another never.f fail.
ing sign that cold weather will
set in for long stay. Going by
the signs weather prophets take
a gloomy view of the winter out.
