MRS. NISHAN IS
KILLED, and Her
DAUGHTER HURT

Mrs. Lily Nishon, formerly a resi-
dent of Douglas, was killed and her
daughter, Miss Isabelle Nishon was
seriously but probably not fatally
injured in an automobile accident on
Saturday night at Long Beach, Calf.
Details of the accident have not been
learned by the Douglas friends of
the unfortunate woman but it is
stated by the news dispatches that
Major r. G.. McGlone, of the engi-
neering department of the city of
Long Beach was taken into custody
following the accident and held for
investigation in connection with the
death of Mrs. NiSllon it having been
his car that struck them.
Mrs. Albert Gillon, of 1156 Eighth
street, a daughter of Mrs. Nishon,
was called by long, distance telephone
and told of the tragedy and she
and her husband left on Sunday
for the coast No details we're learned
by Mrs. Gillon, SO far as her imme-
diate friends here know.
Mrs. NiShon was, according to her
close friends here, about As years of
age and is survived by her daughters.
Her former husband is said to be
living in Mexico. With her daughter,
Isabelle, she made her nome in this
city until the latter was given
position in a county office at Tomb
stone as clerk and after that
service, they again located in Douglas
and Miss .Nishon became an employe
of the Robinson Construction COM
pany while that concern was here
engaged in the smelter building work.
She was offered employment with
that, company at Long Beach and
left here for that purpose late last
year.
From the news received, it is con-
jectured by friends here that the
accident was collision, Miss Nishon
owning a roadster, and it is believed
that they were hurt while driving.
The news dispatches stated that
Mrs. Nishon sustained fatal INJURIES,
indicating that her death was not
instantaneous. 1t also said that Miss
Nishon was in the hospital in
condition. 1t was
understood by one of the friends of
Mrs. Gillon yesterday that Miss
Nishon had regained consciousness
and there were no fears that she
would not soon recover from the
injuries.

"The desert was biting cold. 1t was
way Pct midnight when the bandits
turned Cneir car and speeded off, with
out their victim.
Campbell sat down in the chill
sand. He was somewhat dazed Where
was he?
"The gray desert grew colder. The
very low hanging stars seemed to send
chilling shafts of stabbling light down
his spine. He wanted to warm him
self. There was scant wood, mesquite
branches and stray pieces of cotton
wood. "A fire and its warming glow!
It would bring back life and hope.
"And then Campbell realized that he
was up against it for real. There were
no matches His twitching hands went
through his pockets over and over
again.
@But that wasn't all. With sudden
heart pangs the old man gasped un-
expectedly. The bandits had taken his
luck from him, his taliSman-hiS rab-
bits foot!
According to Campbell's self-styled
biographer at the hospital, it took the
last vestige of strength from the lone
prospector. He then knew that his
doom was sealed.
"And then, ten hours later, at broad
daylight, he Stalked into Yuma and
found a berth in the hospital, he laid
himself down resigned as one not
willing to fight any longer.
"They had taken his money, they
had left him stranded in the cold
desert; bandits had robbed him of his
matches; but they should have left
him his rabbits foot!
with this talisman intact his
friends last night believed, Campbell
would have fought through. And in
stead of being sent home in casket,
they claim, he would have been on his
way today, alive and to carry out his
cherished plans of taking it easy and
live a life of ripe and full age in peace
after years of hard struggle"

DOUGLAS GIRL
WINS MONTANA
SCHOOL PRIZE

Miss Margaret Wells, 13 year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hillery
Wells, of 1926 Dolores avenue, Doug
las. has been attending school at
Bozeman, Mont, the past semester,
while visiting with relatives, and won
the prize essay contest held there
recently. The subject was why
Bozeman Needs New Hotel" The
essay:
"Bozeman is fast becoming the
main entrance to the Yellowstone
national park, and, therefore, needs
a new hotel to accommodate the
large number of tourists that will
visit our city. Bozeman is also q
county seat and a great civic center,
holding many meetings and conven-
tions, and we need an up to date
hotel to accommodate the visitors
attending these affairs. The fact that
Bozeman is college town also brings
many people, The college gatherings
and conventions really demand a
better place to hold banquetS than
is available at the present.
"I also believe that many tourists
who have gene through our town
before, and are going now, would
stop over here if we had a good
hotel that would have attracted their
attention. Even the travelling men
of the country would be inclined to
make Bozeman more OF a head
quarters, and would stop here longer,
if we had a more desirable place
for them to stay The building OF
the hotel itself would mean a great
outlay of material and labor which
would put a lot of money into CIR
culation in the community and give
added life tc all lines Of business iii
Bozeman."
