ENGINE
OFF TRACK At COBRE

The Nevada Northern main line
train due in Ely last night at ST.
is still at cobre. 1t Is said that in
some manner not known here two
wheels of the engine ran off the
track at Cobre, and as there are no
wrecking facilities at that point much
difficulty was experienced in the ef-
fort to replace the engine on terra
firma. 1t Is thought that the en-
gine will be put back on the rails by
this morning and that the train will
then start on its return journey to
Ely.
The wires are, down between Co
bre and Shafter and all communica-
tion between Cobre and Ely has been
by way of Elko and relayed at Shat
ter.
1t is also reported that there Is a
bad snowslide in the mountains at
Truckee and that no California or
western Nevada mail will arrive on
the delayed train.
The snowstorm has been general
around Shafter and Cobre and mucl.
difficulty has been experienced in
moving trains on the transcontinen-
tai railroads.

B. +. Monagan Dead;
Former Ely Resident

John Monaghan of Ely was in re-
ceipt of a wire yesterday telling of
the death of his brother, B. F. Mon
aghan, at San Rafael. Cal, yester-
day morning.
The deceased was born in England
of Irish parents forty-three years ago
and came to this country sixteen
years ago, making his home at Gold
field and Tonopah during the boom
days of those camps. He afterward
lived in San Francisco and then re-
moved tc Ely, where he and his wife
resided for many years.
Mr.. Monaghan organized the boys
band in Ely and was their leader for
long time. Many of the Ely boys
who are now members of orchestras
or who play musical instruments owe
their first instruction to Mr.. Mona
CHAN.
AS wire connections are poor on
account of the severe weather it is
likely that the funeral will take
place in California.
Mr.. Monaghan leaves his wife,
Mary Monaghan, and his brother
John. He was also a brother of the
late Joseph Monaghan. who died In
Ely three years ago. AS the brother,
John Monaghan, cannot leave Ely
until next Tuesday morning it it not
likely that he will attend the funeral.

tween Cherry Greek and Currie just
over the Elko county line. and had

|A|RPlANE MAIL SERVICE
| IS TO Be DISCONTINUED

The Ely-Elko airplane mail SER
vice is to be discontinued after next
Wednesday, according to information
received by Postmaster Wallace dur
ing the week.
An effort was made By the Cham
Der of Commerce, through Nevada s
representative and senators, to have
the airplane service continued until
such time as the Nevada Northern
railroad Company resumes daily
train service. The postoffice depart
ment's reply was to the effect that,
the airplane mali service appropria-
ton having been exhausted, the re-
quest of the Ely business men could
not be complied with.
At meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce and citizens in general
later in the week it was decided to
ask the government to sanction q
speeder service over the Nevada
Northern railroad on the days alter
mating with the train service. The
committee having the matter in
charge was authorized TO interview
Manager Hickey of the railroad com
pany in an effort to secure the use
of the railroad company's Ford
speeder. This Mr.. Hickey has agreed
to under condition that the govern
ment allow the company mileage for
hauling the mail and also furnish a
railway mail clerk, the railroad COM
pany to furnish a driver for the
speeder.
This later proposition having been
put up TO the department at Wash
ington, word is expected soon upon
its acceptance or rejection.

Hea0y Wmdstorm
Plays Many Franks

The heavy winds of the present
week have caused much damage in
Ely and vicinity. Wednesday night
the elements seemed to be on the
warpath and after visiting the court
house. where the extended pipe lead
ing heavenward from the chimney
was toppled over, visit was paid
to the telephone building, where the
brick chimney fell prey TO the vicious
wind.
Perhaps the most peculiar freak OF
the wind Wednesday night was at
the home of George Moore, a carpen-
ter residing in the southwestern por-
tion of East Ely. Here the wind
took possession of a garage housing
a poor, lonesome Ford and lifted the
building bodily from its foundation
and scattered 1t all over the yard.
portions of II even landing on the
house near by. As usual Lizzie came
out of the wreck a winner. not ever
receiving a scratch in the perform
ance. Although the garage was
completely wrecked, two windows
which it contained remained intact,
not a pane OF glass being broken in
either.
