City to Honor Convicts
Who Died Fighting
Forest Fires

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l..
Two convicts of Nevada's peni-
tertiary had paid more than
their debt to society and society
prepared to pay, insofar as it
could. its debts to them.
Life was the price the two
had paid. A Estate funeral"
and burial outside the prison
walls was to be their reward.
George Brown and j. Z.
Mitchell gave their lives in
fighting forest fire that two
days ago menaced Carson City.
Their charred bodies were found
after the wall of fire had been
turned back. They had been
rushed from prison with other
convicts to fight the flames.
All Carson City will pay the
convicts homage. They lay
side by side in the rotunda of
the city hall, their striped garb
replaced by civilian clothes.
About their biers were banked
a profusion of flowers, flags
everywhere were at half staff.
Today every store, school and
public office will close while
final tribute is paid the con-
victs. Civic leaders will carry
them to their graves.

The National league race is thriller

streaks of eight and 16 games. The
next five clubs are stumbling over each
other for the possession of second
