Seeks His Horse
andValuable
Package
Captain Hob O’Donnell, cow punch
er and gallant gentleman of the Ne
vada desert, is out a horse and out
fit and $120 in cash as the result of
a brief vacation period spent in the
district. The captain would not
mind the losses a bit except for the
fact that the $120 belonged to a
friend who had entrusted it to him
for delivery. Ordinarily putting the
fund in the hands of the captain
would nave been Just as good as put
ting it in bank, but on this occasion
the captain treated his interior to a
bath in Ely spirits and thereafter
made the mistake of putting real
whiskey on top of the Ely alleged.
The real article was procured at East
Ely and in the contest that occurred
later between the Ely brand and the
real thing the captain became reck
less of time and place and all other
things of the current hour. So that
when he bethought himself of the
horse and the $120 he had left tied
to the saddle, both w'ere numbered
among the things absent. He natur
ally went to Ely at once, but no
trace of the missing outfit was ob
tainable there, so yesterday morn
ing he presented the case to the sher
iff's office along with a diagram cov
ering his movements during the night
as well as he could set them down.
The sheriff’s office is still looking for
the animal and the money. There is
a bunch entertained that the beast
applied wisdom to its movements
when it found that the gallant cap
tain of the desert trails was other
wise inclined and beat It for home,
where it may yet be found with out
fit and greenbacks all intact. Any
how' the many friends of the cap
tain hope that he will be able to so
report when he gets back to Sho
shone.

plow, Killing Two Outright.
JOPLIN, Mo., March 9.—Two men
were killed and the third fatally
, wounded one mile northeast of here
this afternoon, when a St. Louis &
Frisco switch |engine, operating a
snowplow exploded. Patrick Casey,
| e ngineer, aged 25, Pierce City, and
Emerson Piper, 45, conductor, Jop
lin, are the dead; while Clyde Erwin
25, fireman, Joplin, was fatally in
jured.
Erwin said the water was allowed
to run low and the consequent press
ure burst the crown sheet. Casey
and Piper who were in the cab, were
hurled aginst the end of the tender
by the terrific force of steam and
water and were terribly disfigured.
Their bodies were literally cooked.
Erwin who was on the tender, was
thrown 25 feet, alighting in a snow
bank, fearfully scalded.

Carpenter Parsons, who had a foot

Tuesday, was reported resting as eas
I ilv as could be expected at the Step

tion of a part of the foot is deemed
necessary.
Slow orders maintain at several
'points along the road where damage
i was done by the recent floods, but
the improved weather and repair
work are rapidly helping these pieces
i of track back to better condition.
The spring season nevertheless has
a lot of w ork in store for the con
struction department.
Main line passenger was delayed
three hours and twenty minutes last
evening waiting for S. P.’s first
through train since the washouts of
ten days ago. The time lost by the
through train was east of Ogden,
schedule being held to between Og
den and Cobre notwithstanding the
recently repaired track at Loray. The
train crew was dubious at Cobre as
to whether it would get through, but
stated that the orders had been given
with entire confidence.
HO\l>S STILL HAMPKHKl).
CHICAGO.—Traffic managers of I
all of the western railroads report
heavy new traffic in addition to that
which accumulated during the bad
weather conditions of a few weeks
ago. While general conditions are
: much better than they were a month
ago there is still much freight to be
moved because of adverse operating
(conditions, but officials feel that an
other six weeks or so will clear up
I the situation considerably, as by that
time winter conditions will have pass
ed. During the early spring the rail
roads will face the possibility of
heavy floods in the river districts,
because of the great snow covering,
heavy ice and clogged streams. Grain
and coal are now the prinicipal feat
ures of the tonnage on the western
roads, but the miscellaneous tonnage
Is still very heavy and new business
is still coming to the railroads. One
bad feature the western roads have
to contend with is the eastern con
nections, which have experienced se
rious operating conditions within the
last fortnight and have been unable
to move freight offered them on ac
j count of congested conditions. Dur
ing the weest farwestern lines have
I fallen into like predicament. This
situation keeps the principal gate
ways clogged. Some of the North
I western lines are receiving a heavier
I call for cars from millers, which sug
gests a heavier flour movement as
I well as other commodities. Some of
! the officials say that taking new bus!
! ness into consideration they have
reached about the limit of their ca
pacity for the time being at least.
In the winter wheat territory the
railroad people have had very few
I early crop reports and those that
have been received suggest that the
wheat has had good protection and
is in good shape. There has, how
ever, been a good deal of freezing
and thawing in parts of the south
west, which does not do the exposed
plant any good.
In the general mercantile trade the
attendance of visiting buyers was
fairly large for this season of the
year and the new business was of
gratifying volume. In the drygoods

market particular attention was paid
to staple domestics, prints, knit
goods, white goods and all staple and
fancy cotton goods. In the clothing
trade wide interest was displayed in
men’s wear lines and sellers were in
receipt of large orders for goods for
immediate and future delivery. Job
bers also reported their men on the
road sending fine returns and it was
evident that retailers generally were
ready to take on supplies without re
striction and supplies in the country
are thought to be small.
In the local Iron and steel Industry
there is a somewhat mixed situation.
The pig iron market is shown to be
in a very weak state while the mar
ket for finished products acted in an
opposite direction. In many of the
latter lines there is quite a little
activity in specifying, and some new
business developing. In bar iron
particularly, the mills are being
pressed for delivery by agricultural
implement makers, who constitute
the most active branch in the realm
of manufacturers. Most of these
plants are running overtime and
where conditions permit, double turn.
There was considerable buying of
standard steel rails well distributed
over a number of roads. In plates
new business is being received in
satisfactory volume and In structural
material a very good tonnage was
placed on the books of fabricators.
In billets only small lots were sold,
but in merchant bars, the mills re
ceived heavy specifications on old
contracts. With the spring trade
nearly at hand It is believed that
there will be no serious cutting of
wire products for the reason that it
is unnecessary as in a short time ev
erybody will have all the business
they can handle.
The wholesale grocery marKets ex
hibited strength without showing any
material price appreciations. The de
mand for all staples was of good vol
ume. Collections were reported gen
erally fair.
Railroads operating east through
Chicago and St. Louis handled more
business last week, but have not re
turned to a normal operating basis.
The belt lines from which many of
the eastern railroads get their freight
are not in good condition to handle
the best amount of tonnage they have
in hand, and most of the western
roads have not cleaned up sufficiently
to be able to accept all the freight of
fered them by eastern roads, or to
deliver to their eastern connections
the traffic they have brought In from
the west and northwest destined to
eastern territory. In the aggregate
business was about the same as last
year and slightly ahead of the pre
vious week. «here Is a fair amount
of business being handled by car
ferry lines from the northwest across
the lake from Milwaukee to Michi
gan lake ports. Coal tonnage is good
and there is enough being handled to
supply all western requirements.
Shipments of other freight from the
east to the west are good. A feature
of late has been the heavy traffic in
automobiles. Shipments to the south
and southeast were liberal and about
on an average.
The movement of grain from the
farms and Interior elevators last
week was on the whole fairly liberal.
Shipments from line houses and
country were quite free, while farm
ers’ deliveries were reported some
what smaller. Northwestern arrivals
at distributing points were quite
heavy and large'y in excess of the
movement reported one year ago.
Through the southwest the move
ment was fair, though hardly as lib
eral as of late, while in the central
west the movement has kept up. but.
at the expense of supplies at country
stations. Climatic conditions were
generally mild and seasonable. Crop
advices In the winter wheat belt were
in the main favorable.
Discuss Ditch
For Flood
Protection
Ely council again last night dis
cussed a proposed ditch through the
city to take care of floods from Rob
inson canyon such as made a rag
ing river of Aultman street the great
er part of last week. It was decided
that the members of the council and
the city engineer should meet in
formally Saturday afternoon and
make a personal Inspection of the
two proposed ditch routes, namely,
down Clark street and in the alley
in the rear of the buildings on the
north side of Aultman street. At that
time definite steps are promised.
I he council last night also dis
cussed building a platform, 100
feet long, extending from the North
ern hotel building to the railroad
tracks at Murry and Clark streets,
for the Nevada Northern railroad.
City Engineer Colwell thought the
city should put in a gutter and said
that the railroad would plank the
I street from the gutter to the tracks,
I the Northern Hotel company to lay
the plank sidewalk. He estimated
| that the gutter and street plunking
| would cost |275, of which the city
l will pay one-half. He further report
ed that he would submit to the coun
I cil at its next meeting the sewer as
sessment roll. The matter of com
pulsory sewer connections and the
emptying of present cesspools was
discussed and will be further consid
ered by the health committee.
Arthur Knecht, representing the
Brewing Co., was present and ad
dressed the council with reference
to connecting the plant in Central
Ely with the sewer system. The
matter will be decided upon by the
council at its Informal session Sat
urday.
The council renewed the liquor 11

ReportofGrand
Jury Deferred
Until Today
Confident expectation that the
grand jury would submit its final re
port to Judge Mitchell in the district
court yesterday afternoon met with
disappointment. Judge Mitchell re
mained in his chambers until 4:45,
more than an hour after the dajourn
ment of court, to receive the report,
but at that hour it was announced
from the jury room that the report
would not be presented to the court
until today. A large number of tax
payers and citizens were at the court
house, waiting to hear the report, un
til the announcement was made of
the postponement. There is under
stood to be every reason to expect
that some time today the report will
be concluded and submitted.

Question
William Simpson, Indicted for as
Isault with intent to kill, yesterday
afternoon In the district court sub
mitted a plea of guilty for that of not
guilty. Judge Mitchell will impose
sentence tomorrow. Simpson became
Involved in a quarrel with E. L. Bar
ringer at Star Pointer about three
weens ago, during which he attempt
led to cut the latter with a razor.
Prior to the change of the plea,
Attorney Eddy, representing the de
fendant, attacked the legality of the
Jury pn the ground that the sherlfT
Intentionally failed to serve a sub
poena on Charles Ackermrfn. Acker
man's name was drawn from the
ijury box but at the* time of the ser
vice of the subpoenas was sick.
Therefore, the sheriff did not serve
him. Judge Mitchell sustained the
challenge of Attorney Eddy and was
to have given a ruling upon the
question of drawing a new pane] at
4 o'clock. Simpson’s action in enter
ing a new plea, however, made such
action by the court unnecessary at
j that time.
