here. over about Milford. Delta and
as far north as Provo and Salt Lake
the price has been down to % cents
for the former two and 22 cents for
the latter two places, but it was al
legged that local competition was the
cause. 1t was claimed that the Stand
ard Oil was trying to put Harry Lar
son out of business, he being the
power behind Hal gasoline, an Okla
homa product. Larson is a Milford
garage owner who uses a few extra
dollars marketing the southern prod
uce over the state, especially in towns
on the Salt Lake & Los Angeles rail-
way between the Utah capital and
Las Vegas. New.
But this appears to have been no
more than partially true The Lar
son product could not reach this dis
trict as a competitive factor and does
not figure in the various parts of the
country where gasoline is known to
have been reduced in the same
period.
1t pleased local garage owners
greatly to be able to make the cut
They believe that it will be perma-
nent and that 1t will have vast dea,
to do with routing automobile travel
this way The old price has been
used with effect as an argument
against the Lincoln highway, not
withstanding it being beyond the con-
troll of the ones receiving the blame.
That travel this way next year will
greatly exceed either of the last two
years is the opinion of dealers here,
and this factor alone will play mr-
ior part in bringing this about
The price CT gasoline at Elko has
been reduced to "a 1-2 cents. 1t was
2 cents higher 1t is reported there
that the wholesale or basic price has
dropped 2 cents also.
The explanation given by the
Standard Oil Company there is that
the present reduction is made on ac-
count OF the enormous increase in
production of high-gravity crude oil

KIMBERLY AGENT ABsCONDS WITH
NEVADA NORTHERN RAILWAY CASH

G. +. IIoiton, who only one month
before was appointed agent for the
Nevada Northern Railway Company
at Kimberly, absconded a week ago
today with about S1,50o in cash
stolen from the company.
General Manager G. l.. Hickey last
night said the amount of the short
age was not as great as reported In
San Francisco, where it was given as
81, 900. A careful checking of
Hoitons accounts has been made
since by Auditor Frank Roper and
his assistants. The first day or two
of their search they were unable to
find any shortage. They found where
Hoiton had taken exactly the amount
of money due him as salary II was
not until they got hold of later doc
uments in the form of cash reports
that the shortage was discovered
When they went into these 1t first
appeared that the shortage would be
about $1,000, and this was the
amount reported to Sheriff Nicholson
when they informed him of the theft.
Rumors in a narrow circle of those
who knew of the occurrence raieed
the figure TO s2.s00. which is eyag-
gerated. as the statement of Mr.
Hickey proves.
Ii is said that Hoiton offered GER
tain parties in Kimberly large sum
of money TO convey him to Cobre.

and that when the train left KIM
berly Saturday afternoon all prep
arations were complete for his get
away Ii is not known how he left
the district.
Hilton came from Bingham, Utah.
The management knew him princi-
pally through recommendations of
parties whose knowledge of his re-
sponsibiliry proved to be unreliable.
He was recommended as an efficient
operator and railroad man, but the
facts as to his personal integrity are
said to have been uncertain II not
slightly vague.
That he would be able in such a
short time to make away with so
large a sum and escape detection is
regarded as remarkable, especially in
view of the fact that the company
has only two large customers at Kim
berly, which are the Consolidated
Coppermines Corporation and he
Kimberly store. both of which must
pay their freight bills by check.
There are some small shipments 60
ing and coming, such rs household
effects OF employees and some cash
fares.
II is understood, however, that
Hoiton had furnished a surety bond
in a sum more than covering the
theft and thereby the company will!
lost nothing.

.OUGAN's. BODY WILL GO
TO CALIFORNIA TUESDAY

The body of George Dugan. whc
was found dead Wednesday, will be
shipped to Bakersfield next Tuesday
morning. 1t was held here awaiting
the arrival of nis nephew, e.
O'Boyle, who arrived from Bakers
field last evening and will accom-
pany the remains on the journey.
Mr.. Dugan was found dead in his
room at the Plaza hotel by his en-
ployer, Thomas II. O'Neill, Wednes-
day evening about O'Clock. Not
having shown up for work that day
Mr. O'Neill finally went to Dugan' S
room. Getting no response to raps
lat the door Mr.. O'Neill forced the
lock and found the body on the bed.
Dugan was partly undressed and ap-
peared to have fallen over while re-
moving his clothing. Coroner ID. c.
Mcdonald and DR.. NJ. ]. Rand-were
called Death had occurred several
hours before the body was found and
it being apparent that the cause of
death was natural no inquest was
held.
Dugan had been out the evening
before in the company of friends.
He was. a man of temperate habits
and while not given to excesses was
generous with his money He made
good wages as foreman of O'Neill' S
repair department and is supposed
to have left a deposit of several
thousand dollars at a local bank.
Mr.. Dugan was one of the first and
best automobile mechanics in Ne
vada. Several years ago he had a
large automobile repair business at
Goldfeld. He had been a machinist
before that and understood the prin-
ciples which underlie automobile
mechanical construction. Together
with E. L. Fletcher as a partner he
started the first automobile repair
shop in Ely. this having been the
forerunner of the Lincoln Highway
garage. Subsequently when p. F
Matthias wished TO buy in Dugan sold
his interest and remained for sew
eral years as an employe. With the
establishment of the Plaza garage
he accepted position from Mr..
ONeill, its owner, which he held un-
til his death.
The deceased was 50 years of age
and unmarried.
After his arrival Mr.. O'Boyle met
several friends of his uncle, Mr.. Du-
gan, including Mr.. O'Neill. and hopes
to meet other friends of the deceased
ducing his stay today and tomorrow.
M. O'Boyle is cashier of the First
Bank of Kern at Bakersfield. He is
a son of a deceased sister of Mr.. Du-
gan and with a bachelor brother of
Dugan lives with another sister of
the Dugans. A second brother of
the deceased Ely man resides at
Bakersfield and has held the office Of
city treasurer and is the head of a
building and loan society. A third
brother fell dead in a similar manner
to that of George Dugan nineteen
years ago. He was tall and spare,
similar in build to George. Dugan.
and 35 years TO age when he died.
