Mrs. Frank Norton

Mrs. Frank Norton of Spring val

hotel, In Ely. where she is under
medical treatment for injuries which
she received about ten days ago at
the Norton home when she was
thrown from a wagon, the real wheels
of which passed over her chest,
breaking II rib and severely iniar-
ing her right arm.
Mrs. Norton had accompanied her
husband on a visit TO Mr.. and Mrs.
Forrest b. Matson at the Piermont
mine. The team which Mr.. Norton
was driving was of a nervous dispo-
sition and travel ON the hard roadbed
was not 10 the liking OF one of the
animals, which was accustomed 20

their return, while Frank was cn-
gagged in closing the gate at the en-
trance TO the Norton home, where the
road is slightly On the down grade.
the wagon moved against the horses
and the animals started. Mrs. Nor.

before she could reach the Wagon
brake the horses had become 81
frightened as to cause them to rap

radio development arrived in Ely

day.
Owing to the fact that Ely is stu
ated in n heavily mineral ized zone,
surrounded by high mountains, Wall
lace Blood, expert IN charge Of the
sensitive radio receiving set with
which a car used by the travellers Is
equipped, was unable to obtain sat
isfactory results in Ely in the lin
tied time he had for adjustment. Mr..
Blood gave II as his opinion that the
close proximity OF the power line OF
the Nevada Consolidated. which car
ries a high voltage, was a matter
that would have to be reekoned with
before satisfactory results could be
obtained In this district.
After looking over the set in the
Ely theater he pronounced 1t one of
the best On the market and from
which he predicted excellent results
would be obtained when all other
matters were properly adjusted.

BEAUTY SHOP"
WILL Be A SCREAM

Good shows are always enjoyable
but there are some good big shows
In which any one act is worth ter
times the price of admission. and

always mentioned in this class.
The Elks can always be depended
upon to furnish the best on earth and
the stray members of the herd here

secured such az attraction, with a
man possessing the ability of c. H.

The large cast is now rehcarsing
nightly and the local artists are a *
ing to their work like professionals
of many years experience.
When the curtain is raised in Bio
hall the nights of July 10 and IL a
performance such as has eve be-
fore been witnessed in this district
will be presented.
There is a laugh in every line
which goes to make up the three big
acts. and the music, which took
Broadway theetergoers by storm. will
ring in the ears of those fortunate
enough to obtain admission for many
months to come.

traction which in itself surpasses

cults, while no less than a dozen in
diyidual members of the cast furnish
sufficient amusement 10 have the
show voted a grand success by the
audience.
Director Lewis says that no pro
fessional Snowman could ask for bet
ter talent than is available in Ely,
and each rehearsal under his guild
ance emphasizes that fact.
The public Of this district viii
doubtless appreciate the fact that
this show is being produced for them
and staged by high-class local talent.

at a cost approximately one-third that

Another feature to be considered
is that every dollar realized will go

Elks in that transformations name
for which the great organization is
world famous. Not only will those
who attend the show get value for

itself, but the enjoyment
