SEVERE HUH IF
EPIZOOTIC HITS
LITTLE CMS:
Little Boy on Wells Herqld
. Suffers . Intensely From
Gastronomical Compli
cations Superinduc
ed by Ball Game
An attack of epizootic more severe
than anything he baa yet sustained
came suddenly upon little Charlie
Triplett, junior editor of the YfelU
Herald, laat Kriday. The family phy
sician was Immediately summoned and
pronounced little Charlie as suffering
from an unusual attack of the well
known chlldrens' dicease commonly
known aB "bellyache" and gave it as
his opinion that the little boy's condi
tion wa BBuperinduced by a baseball
game?at least something that was so
denominated.
The peculiar part of the little fel
low's malady is found in the fact that
^ when it first becomes evident the
baby patient Is quite rational and con
ducts himsel fin a fashion that leaves
a very narrow margin for doubt that
he is a rational and intelligent specl
: men of young American boyhood. As
he progresses in his discussion of his
obsession?which in this case is base
ball?he becomes steadily worse until
he develops a state of symptoms that
in an older person would undoubted
ly take the form of apoplexy. For ex
ample, during his more rational mo
ments last Friday, the baby editor
churned out this:
After going down to a thirteen to
one defeat at Elko the Wells bareball
team played Elko to a standstill here
last Sunday. The game was very
close and was anybody's game up to
the time the last Wells man was re
tired. Errors by the Wells players
accounted _fo rail but one of Elko's
runs. Wells made one run off a
wild throw by Manning to first base.
Manning did not seem to hold any
terrors for the Wells batters, passing
one man to first base and striking out
only seven. Wines, hurling for Wells,
struck out nine and didn't issue a
single base on balls.
We wonder if this convinces Harold
Hale and the Elko ball team that they
do not have to go out of the county
to find another team that wifl give
them a real game. We also wish to
state that the individual who wrote
an artido for publication in the
"What Do You Think About It?" col
' umn of the Elkd Independent and
signed his name "Bat and Ball", would
have changed his mind about the
games between Elko and other teams
not being worth the admission price
could he have seen the game Sunday.
A record breaking crowd was in atten
dance, and a total of $86 being taken
In as gate receipts.
And then hb the pain in Charley's
tummy became more acute he launch
ed himself into, and wound up with,
this terrible indictment of the editor
of the Independent:
The imitation Arbuckle is becoming
veiV witty, don't you think? Here,
read some of the expressions - takon
from the Windjammlng sheet:
"Little Chnrllo Trlplott who wields
the editorial destines of the Nevada
State Herold waxed extremely wroth
in his last Friday edition, venting his
boyish rage upon Charlie Helfricb,
who umpired something advertised as
a ball game between the Wells and
Elko teams a week ago Sunday. Hel
\ frlch Is a "squint-eyed squirt" accord
ing to the little boy editor and no
English Is quite exprtsalto 'enough to
describe Fatty of the Windypendent.
At any rate, reader, cast your expres
sive optics over this literary effort
from tho pen of tho youngest editor
in tho Stnto of Nevada, The boy
surely has promise and ought to de
velop into a Jewel lit editorial and
roportorlal circles In time.
"Bplac, Lydla Plnkham's soothing
pyrup, Epsom Salts and I-emon, and
children's remedies, designed to re
lieve a bad case of coilc. It Is rec
ommended that tho caplaUi of the
Wells ten mcarry a medicine case
- equipped for tho little editor's espec
ial benefit whoq the east state base
ball chasers cross bats with the Elko
bsaeball team on the next occasion.
The ability to lose gracefully, to ad
" mlt superiority and to be a good sport
Is also a well recognised specific .
Of course, this all must be true, for
you kpeW. the expression* of Harold
are always backed up by lots of
weight. If our midsection resemWsd
a barrel (a* does Fatty's) we might
take part of the treatment that the

ROT GARDNER IS CREDITED
WITH PALISADE ROBBERY
Tbo Eureka Sentinel I earns that
postal officials have recently noti
fied the postmaster at Palisade that
from certain information obtained
from Roy Gardqer, the now noted
mall bandit, during bis recent cap
tivity In California!, It is believed
that Qnrdner was the party who rob
bed the postofflce at Palisade early
last April of two looked mail sacks
that were deBflned for Buretca, and
of which no trace has ainoe been
found. In a confession to. the postal
officials regarding his whereabouts
nt certain times, Gardner. admitted to
being in Carlin on the night the Pal
inode robbery occurrod, and as the
former place is only seven miles dis
tant from the latter, the postal offi
cials believe Gardner is the man who
did the job.
An appropriation for Improving the
local air mail field in tho total sum
of I7K0O has keen made, according to
advlseo received by Superintendent
Barbel1. This appropriation will be
used in constructing , a stock room,
offices and other necessary inciden
tal equipment. It cannot be expend
ed. however, until n leeae le arrang
ed for the ground included within the
landing field ,or at least that part
upon which the equipment Is to be
constructed. Arrangements are now
In the making for this lease and ac
cording to Attorney HMwih BL Cains,
who Is .the local representative of the
parties owning.ths ground, llttte dit
ficgulty is expected In securing it.
The city, through Supervisor Ife
Glnty, has also agreed to haul suf
ficient gravel to the field to make a
runway for ths planes to the hangars
and Mr. Barber says by the close of
the year Btko will have a "reel field."
MRS. WILL ORR IS
TAKEN TO IDAHO
mTenth cam of IU kind in
medical history in the United States
is reported In the illness of Mrs. Wil
liam. Orr ot this, city, who was taken
away yesterday to the sanitarium or
her brother. Dr. Dill, in Pocatello,
Idaho, in a final tight for the pa
tient's life. Mrs. Orr is a victim of
Bndamoeha Dysiaterla, according to
her physician in this city. This germ
is otherwise known as tropical fever
and was a most virulent and menac
ing form of disease among the men
in the army iq the Spanish American
war and also in the war with Ger
many. Mrs. Git's condition was pus
sling and she consulted the best spe
cialists in San Francisco, none of
whom discovered the true cause of her
illness. Bhe was operated upon local
ly for the removal of her tonsils and
It was thought that this would bring
relief. The operation was entirely
socessful, and Mrs. Orr made excel
lent recovery from it, but her health
continued to go back. Laboratory
examinations at last developed the
germ above named The symptoms of
the disease In the tropics are center
ed about dyslnterla. In tropical reg
ions the disease 1b known as "trop
ical fever." In the temperate zones
it is marked principally by mental
apathy.
In discussing the case this morning
a local physician stated that it was
bis opinion that Mrs. Orr bad con
tracted the germ from contact with
river infection. Mrs. Orr, he stated,
had ben taking some of her meals at
a Chinese restaurant. The Chinese
who worked in the place had been
fishing in the river and he believed
had communicated an iqfedtion to
salads and slaws which they served
and of- which Mrs. Orr partook. The
restaurant is not now in operation to
which the doctor referred.
Mrs. Orr has mhny friends In this
ity where she has lived for some
time past It is stated that she de
l voloped the same trouble some time
ago and that a change benefitted her
greatly. It is hoped that removal to
Idaho will again bring back ' her
health..Her many friends are sincere
ly hoping for her Immediate improve
ment ?"

ELKO FIEl.lt TO DECEIVE THOROUGH TEST
OF OIL SEINE STRHTOS Of EX
PERIENCED DRILLERS
Elko Oil Development and Improvement Co. Makes Record to
Bringing Outfit Over Fifty Miles to Well Site, Setting
Machinery, Spudding W eN, and Drilling Thirty
Nine Feet to One Week
The drilling machinery belonging to
the Elko Oil Development ft Improve
ment Company which la now on the
ground and digging away through a
formation of hard limestone ,was brot
a distance of nearly sixty miles, set up
and started and a distance of thrity
nine feet drilled in exactly one week.
This is a record in Nevada oil annals
and speaks well for the engineering
abilities of the local drillers. The hole
was spudded yesterday morning about
ten o'clock. When the drill was with
drawn at five o'clock In the evening It
was down exactly 39 feet.
- The drilling rig performed perfectlp
and from the progress made it is evi
dent that this is a real machine and
Its steadily churning down was a reve
lation to those who were watching It
pound away.
The location of the well being drill
ed is about a mile and a quarter north
east of the city reservoirs and is
reached by a road turning off the high
way at the eastern extremity of the
Smith Farm.
The rig is a Star No. 38 and is Op
erated by steam which is supplied by
a fdrty horse-power tractdf;'coal be
ing used for fuel.
Much Interest is being taken In the
progress of this project as it opens a
ne windustry in Elkd and Elko county
as this is the pioneer effort In the
county and its proximity to this city
gives rise to the belief\that Elko may
become famous as an' oil center for
Oil hero would mean k boom that
would he phenomenal.
The hole being drilled is twelve
inches In diameter and is an effort to
strike artesian water which this com
pany believes exists at a comparative
ly shallow depth.. It is said by engi
neers -that this vicinity ism wonderful
water shed and from the lack of ev
idences 6f this on the surface and
from the snow fall on the hills adjac
ent. subterranean channels of water
must come down from the hills and
the well being drilled is high enough
up the slope to insure the purity of
this water which probably exists In
large quantity.
We are advised that upon comple
tion of the water well the rig will be
moved beck a few feet and a derrick
erected and a hole started down start
ing at sixteen inches in diameter and
casing carried down as the hole, is
drilled, this hole will be carried to the
capacity of the rig ?hlch is 1590 feet
If necessary and by the substitution
of a larger engine upon the rig and
a derrick of eighty feet In height. 4.
000 feet may be drilled with this ma
chine. *
One of the interesting features in
spudding in was that the drill wua not j
stopped pounding away except to ball
the hole and in the fact that it was
working" off the spudding arm of the
rig and required the constant atten
dance of the drillers to keep the tools
dropping plumb showing a marked ef
ficiency upon the parts of drillers
Hickey and Rice in that the distance
drilled was exceptional in the first
day's run.
Dispatch seemed to be the watch
word at the well. .Each ona had a part
and seemed to kuow Just what to do:
there seemed to be no hesitancy or
confusion on the part of the crew;
each man waB at his place and was
busy apparently doing the right thing
at the right time.
Upon circumspection it is apparent
that the moving and erection of this
machinery was accomplished In a re
markably quick time as this entire
shipment of two carloads of equip
ment was spotted to unload by the
railroad on the morning of . June 10th
and was take*-fire miles, erected,
piped up for Bteam, and all set to go
and forty feet of bole in solid rock
dlrlled In an even nine days showing
that engineering is not the least of
this companies assets.
We aro further advised that the
only field expense the company is put
to Is that of employment of the drill
ing orews aqd supplies of fuel and oil.
The only overhead expense is that of
postage and stationery which shows
an earnestness of spirit In this pro
ject on the psrt of the members of the
company which is praiseworthy. Their
watchword is 'drill" or as they ex
pressed it "Make Hole".
BUSINESS MEN'S LUNCH
PAINS PATRONAGE
The luncheon for business men hold
at the Meyer on Mondays at one
o'clock Is gaining slowly in popular
ity. Fourteen men attended the first
meeting, five the second, nine the
third and nine were seated at the
table yesterday, ^including Senator
Henderson and Prof. Dtnsmore, who
chatted with the diners during the
luncheon hour. It Is the general Im
pression among those who are attend
ing the luncheons regularly. that this
form of getting together meetings Is
vory commendable and will be pro
ductive of much good if all the mer
chants In the city will avail them
selves of the opportunity. Prof.
Dlnsmore talked yesterday upon the
formation of a Notary Club hero.
Impromptu discussion of local oondt
tlons was freely indulged in and at
the hour of adjournment each atten
dant pledged himself to return with
another fellow on next Monday at
one o'clock.

CARLIN TO BATTLE
MOUNTAIN ROAD OUT
V * '?? ^ \ ^,,-imp ? ? >' *

According to repot tit from west
state towns the road between Carlln
and Battle Mountain la reported to
be washed out over the Overland
Trail and the highway Is rendered
Impassable. No details are given. it
is presumed that washouts have
caused the difficulty. It Is said to
day that the bridge near Plnsona is
in danger of going out. Since the
road has been reported as impass
able tourists have been routed over
Plnsons bridge and sent by way of
Midas. If Plnsons bridge goes out
and the rest of the road is Impass
able it is said that there Is still a
chance of getting out by going
around through the mountains at
Hilltop. No one is willing to vouch
for tho latter method of travel how
ever. B. N. Lear of Lamoille stated
to a Winnemucca man yesterday that
he thought the road would be found
passable as he had passed over It and
found It repaired sufficiently to allow
machines to go through.
Meanwhile tourists at Winnemucca
are awaiting word to the effect that
the road has been repaired before go
ing on. Tourists at this point would
do well to observe the same caution.

dust of tnndy cars that make their
appearance on these nice evenings is
also done away with and the liberal
sprinkling makes a cool atmosphere.

NITER MAINS TEST
IS THOROUGH
IND CAREFUL
? 1 "VAr * r~ i*+~
Prof. Dinsmore Returns With
Senator Henderson and.
Complete Survey of all
Mains is Made
Senator Charles B RnMfraoti, in
company with Prof. S. C. Dinsmore b?
the Unirersity of Nevada arrived in
this city yesterday morning and again
a thorough and careful test was mad*
of the Elko water mains. Senator
Henderson, upon hearing of the ru
mored taint in this city's water, last
no time in insisting upon mnlipmediate
investigation. Although Dinsmore
had been here for two days last week
making tests Henderson requested
him to accompany him here again and
to take tests from every portion of
the water mains of this city in or
der to determino finally whether or
not there was any danger from the
city water source.
Yesterday morning samples of city
water were taken from the company's
box In Klttridge canyon, from the
taps in tlie residences of Mrs. Ida
Hunter and Mr. Will R. Englert on
the hill. Farther samples were tak
en from tape on the fiat and also
from taps of the Western Pacific com
pany in the eastern part or town.
From these samples Senator Hen
derson stated yesterday that the city
water supply is pure but that the
water used by the Western Pacific
Company is impure. The reason for
his state of affairs is substantially
as stated by the Independent a few
days ago.. The company is pumping
water out .of the rtver for use in its
engines. A check valve maintained
by the water company near the pump
uaed by the railroad was taken out
by some unthinking person and as a
result the river water is being forced
by ^q, railway pump up through the
mains 'to"Tfie"taps V>f" the" company -
from which the dining car water sup
ply is taken.
Prof. Dinsmore will announce the
results of his teats 'on both visits
within s day or two. 1c the mean
time residents of this city living In
the bill district as well ss on the flat
to a line of demarcation existing at
the Western Pacific Railway Depot
may rest assured that the water In
thosed Istricts Is pure. Those living
near the Western Pacific depot and
whose water supply is Id any way
conected with the taps used by the
depot are advised to thoroughly boil
their water supply before using it for
culinary or drinking parposes.
MISS VELMA TRUETT TO
GO AS MAID OR HONOR
MIhb Velma Truett of this city will
to one of the maids of honor to Mies
Viola Dane, queer, of the Reno Round
up. Although there Is a contest on
for the place this seems to be the
logical conclusion inasmuch as the
announcement was made this morn
ing that tho city of Ely would not ea
ter a candidate against Miss. Truett.
Ely was paired oft with Elko in the
fifth district of the a??te established
