Some thoughtless people have
been driving autos around on the
baseball diamond at Wyman Park
and running the field Last week the
boys spent considerable time making
this a fit place at which to entertain
visiting teams, and their good work
is being spoiled by some person or
persons learning to drive automo-

tice, a ball taking an awkward
bounce from one of the ruts, may
strike a player in the face and do
serious damage. 1t is hoped that
when attention is called to this, the
driving of autos on the diamond will
be stopped.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The baseball team has been doing
good work at the bat, hitting as high
as any of the teams in this part of
the State. But after getting on the
bases, they are somewhat slow at
stealing. A little practice in base
running should increase their
chances of getting runs.

Lucke and Hough we're removed
to the county hospital at Reno.
Hough died there that afternoon
and was identified by papers in his
possession. Lucke died the follow
ing evening.
The ones who were Killed outright
were identified with little difficulty
by means of employment identifica-
ton slips found in the pocket of
each, these being furnished them by
the employment agency.
George Jones was a former MEM
ber of the army field hospital corps.
Totten had relatives in Pittville
and Woodland, California.
The men were to work for the con-
tracing firm of Brown & Easton or
The highway near Austin The firm
has the contract for building several
miles through the forest reserve.
The motor was headed westerly
toward Reno, the auto being headed
south at the crossing.
1t is said that Yarnoz cxtricated
himself from the wreckage and
walked unaided to a seat in the res
cue train, where he sat down to rest
The scene when the bodies of the
dead and the injured men were gath
cred up and placed aboard the train
is described as shambles
The verdict was that the collision
was accidental and placed blame on
nc one. The inquest was held only
in the case of one of the deceased,
but eight additional yerdicts were
handed in, this under instruction
from Coroner Francis ]. Cunning
ham.
Yarnoz had been in somewhat
similar accident previously at Los
Angeles when four of his companions
in an auto were killed. He also tells
of being in a mine cage at Jerome,
Arizona, when the lift dropped to the
bottom of the shaft, killing four
companions and he was the only sur
vivor.
Chairman Dan j. Sullivan of the
Nevada industrial commission was
not prepared to say if the men who
were killed were protected by Ne
vada's industrial state insurance. He
admitted that the firm of contractors
carries insurance with the commits
sion, and that he called for a report
from the contractors No genera;
rule applies covering all cases, Sulli-
van claimed, stating that each case
must be decided on its own merits
He was unable to say Just what ar
rangements governing the employ
ment of tho men had been made by
and between the contractor and the
employment agency.

tered the home Of his niece at Los
Angeles, A. A. Marshall, Ely pion-
Ger, is in critical condition from
his second strcke of paralysis there.
When he arrived it is said he was
just uttering his words OF greeting
and from that moment he was speech
less.
The disease has affected his whole
right side, as it did in June when he
was previously stricken in Fly. He
cannot move his hand OF his foot
and is utterly helpless.
A letter arrived Friday night from
the niece addressed to Mrs. j. e.
Amenda, who is q close friend of Mr..
Marshall 1t was only because Mrs.
Amenda during his former illness
had written letters FOR him to the
niece that the latter knew the Ely
woman's name and address and could
communicate with her when the
pioneer for the second time lost his
power OF speech The letter said
that a doctor and nurse were in at
tendance and everything possible was
being done
Mr.. Marshall came 10 Ely IN the
early sos and has lived here con-
stantly. His coming was at the time
when the old Keystone smelter was
built. He erected fine home in the
southern end of the city, which was
sold three years ago after the death
of his wife to Fred Hartley.
His former home was at Winfield,
Kansas. where it is believed he was
born His age is seventy-three years.

out their being Endorsed. She then
indorsed the check, and shortly after
he left a telephone message from one
of the Ely banks advised her that It's

check that she had indorsed because
of it being so large. She replied
that it was only SIS, but was told
that it was s615 She learned soon
that the other Ely bank likewise

Famaas meanwhile had dropped
out of sight for several hours and
while he was gone Mrs. Campbell
notified the sheriff's Office. 1t was
learned that he had gone to McGill
and is supposed to have made pro-
posal to another man to indorse the
check and cut the proceeds in half.
1t is not learned whether or not the
raised check was cashed. In a few
hours Famaas came hack to his room
at the Richmar and he soon asked
Mrs. Campbell to indorse another
check for $40. She led him to be.
lieve that she would do so and stalled
him for time over his room key be-
ing missing. While he was wait
ing at the Richmar he was seen un
known to himself to lie counting a
roll of bills, in which was $316. He
went over to the Hayes again and
then back to the Richmar. Mrs.
Campbell again 'phoned the sheriff s
Office and in a short time Deputy
Dave Mclean came up and met Mrs.
Campbell and the man in the office
Of the Richmar. Famaas up to this
time had not suspected that his
landlady was laying trap for him.
Mr.. Mclean asked what was wanted.
II want you to take this man and
lock him up" said Mrs. Campbell to
the officer, the forger being taken by
slightly but went with the officer and
has been in jail since awaiting furth-

The shrewdness and bravery Of a
woman landed a bold forger in Jail
this week in Ely, when man who's :

raising a check from SIS to $615

Famaas appeared at the HAYES

objected to the price of S. week
whereupon Mrs. Campbell told him
he could have one at the Richmar
also under her management, for
$3.50. He paid this amount and
she 'phoned over to the Richmar that
he had done SO and was on his way
over.
After seeing and accepting the
room he asked Mrs. Campbell

SCRUCHAM MAY CAUSE PAVING Of
ELY-M'G|Ll HIGHWAY IN SPRING

Having in view the highway be
tween Ely and McGill, District At
torney H. w. Edwards Is in cores
pondence with Governor Scrugham
upon the subject. and has hopes of
an early and favorable decision.
1t is the hope of the district at
torney that the road may be paved or
that something in the nature of Il
permanent surfacing may be ordered.
He called the attention OF the COVER
nor to the fact that only one other
piece Cf road in the state is Travelled
more than this one The other is
the road between Reno and Carson,
which is paved.
Mr.. Scrugham replied to Mr.. Ed
wards first letter by wire, saying
that he had held a conference with
State Highway Engineer George w
Borden, the latter giving reasons
why no action had been taken, but
the governor caused Mr.. Borden to
take trip to San Francisco, where
he had arrived and was getting busy
upon the matter.
One of the causes for the delay is
the fact that the state highway board
favors route directly down the
valley from the bridge that crosses
Steptoe creek where the present road
White Pine news. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1920-1923, 1923-09-30

turns northeasterly. The county
commissioners favor the present
route, holding that it is less expen-
sive to build and maintain. To build
the lower road would entail the
transportation of most of the ma
terial from the benches. whereas
that material is right at hand in case
of the present route. Besides they
hold that there is natural drainage
on the bench route and the road is
sure of being dry when the other il
not paved might be bog during the
melting seasons and treacherous
foundation if paved.
The contention of Mr.. Border is
understood to have been that it could
not be made federal aid project,
this for the reason that it has no in
terstate outlet. Mr.. Scrugham is un-
derstood to have found way of max
ing it federal aid project anyhow,
and If the tenor of his letters may
not be mistaken there is a strong
hope for some tangible results to fol-
low early next year Mr.. Edwards
confidently believes that the COVER
nor will cause completion of this
road in a manner over which White
Pine county will be proud, and this
most likely may mean paving

PERIOD WILL CLOSE
IN SALESMANSH|P CONTEST
SATURDAY N|GHT,0CT0BER6 6

The salGsmanship campaign is
now on the home stretch. Only two
weeks remain, and only one week re-
nains of the second period, which
closes Saturday night, October 6.
There are just six more days after
today in which to get the subscrip-
tions that will bring you home a win
ner of one OF the grand capital prizes.
A few long term subscriptions right
new would mean much to you to
win the Sedan that is being offered.
If you have any subscriptions prom
ised be sure and go after them right
away. Don't let them dodge the is
sue, but 60 10 them at once, for
later you will not have time enough
to visit every one on whom you in
tend to call if YOU put it off until the
last moment.
Perseverance, is the one real Key
that will unlock the door to sue
cess. The time for action is now at
hand; victory lies ahead, not behind.
Two more weeks and the winner of
the auto will be riding the car and
the campaign will be a thing Of the
past. If you want to be the one
that will ride in the car that we are
giving you must depend upon what
you now have in reserve to bring
that car to you, for few long term
subscriptions would soon wipe out
that reserve and place some of the
others in the lead Remember that
there are others who are just as de-
termined to win as you are, and they
are going to do everything possible
to swing the tide that will bring the
balance in their favor.
If you overlook a single subscrip-
tion, or if you fail to take advan-
tage of every opportunity that you
have, you will be hopelessly lost in
the race, for it's what you do from
now that will make you one of the
winners Of the capital prizes and
place you among those who must
accept one Of the smaller prizes
It's plainly up to you, and your work
will decide. You alone must make
the decision by the manner and the
time that you devote to subscription
getting during the remaining time.
Five days is not a long time, but time
enough to Go real things
Remember, the credits take an
other drop after Saturday night, Oc-
toher G. Work now or never"

Eight men are dead, six of whom
were killed instantly, and two died
within thirty-six hours, resulting
from a collision between a Hudson
car and the Fallon motor on the
Southern Pacific railway Thursday
morning near Ditho siding, eleven
miles east Of Reno
The men we're on their way to Aus
tin to work on the Lincoln highway.
The six who perished on the spot
were:
FRANK TOTTEN
JAMES KELLY
D. P. DENY
II. P. JONES
GEORGE JONES
IGNACIO TRUJILO
Those dying later Were:
JOHN LUCKE driver of the auto
JAMES HOUGH.
One man in the Hudson escaped
death. His name is Juan YarnoZ, a
Mexican.
The men had been engaged by the
Wide-Awake employment agency of
Reno to go to Austin for the high
way work. Before they started three
who had agreed to go failed to ap-
pear and two were sent in their
places. Finally the third OF the trio
came and was among the killed.
Yarnoz, who testified at the inquest
through an interpreter, said one o!
hi
pocket at Sparks and offered Lucke
the driver, a drink, but Lucke re-
fused. Yarnoz does not think others
were offered liquor, at least he saw
none except the owner of the bottle
take drink. Yarnoz said that when
the car stopped at Sparks the owner
of the bottle asked Lucke If he In
tended to load up with gasoline
Lucke said yes, and the passenge,
then said as he took drink from the
bottle:
Il fill up, too"
The speedometer of the car was
not work ing, but the speed was moi
excessive, say the witnesses. The
brakes worked perfectly, but as the
crossing was reached and while with
in two or three yards of it, some OF
the passengers observed the ap-
preaching motor at distance OF
thirty yards. One tapped the driver
on the shoulder and warned him
Lucke tried to stop the car and the
fore wheels passed over the rails, the
rear ones stopping between them,
and the engine stalled.
The motor blew a shrill whistle,
but it was going rapidly and could
not be STOPPED. The car was hit and
thrown thirty-five feet
AT the inquest it was testified that
the auto was not seen by the men
running the motor until within j 90
feet of it. The whistle was blown
but there was no possibility of stop
ping. The engineer, ]. n. Arm
strong. said he had nothing but Wis
ions of five or six faces looking at
him from the automobile ever since.
In addition to blowing the whistle
he had started the automatic bell to
ringing when within 1000 to 1900
feet of the crossing The motor was
travelling forty miles an hour The
