JACK LONDON'S ASHES
(By Associated Press.)

  SANTA ROSA, Cal., Nov. 27. The ashes of the late Jack London, the California author, who died Wednesday night, were buried yesterday on a hillside of his Glen Ellen ranch.
  The original intention was to scatter the dust over the land he loved but by Mrs. London's direction a concrete receptacle was prepared in the hillside and there, without ceremony in the presence of Mrs. London, a few neighbors and the employees of the ranch, the urn containing the ashes was placed and the receptacle sealed.

Ha, fresh and local!  Makes a lot more sense than today's obsession with chemicals -- I suspect much of our poultry would go uneaten if we could see it on the hoof.

This reads like they're shying away from promoting liquor for some reason, or is it tongue-in-cheek?  I am under the impression our Canadian friends still make Bloody Marys with clam and tomato juice.

Glad you saw these items, K.  I put them in especially for you.

BOY DYE WONDER WILL NOT BE PROSECUTED

  Henry Clay Arbutle, boy inventor wonder, will probably not be prosecuted on the charge of stealing $10,000 worth of platinum from the International Dye Co., Milwaukee. Arbutle is under arrest in New York.
  A mental condition brought about by working 15 hours a day in a chemical laboratory is believed responsible for Arbutle's sudden disappearance from his home here.
  Arbutle is but 19. He discovered a few months ago a new way to make dyes. Financial backers promised him $10,000 a year salary, a $10,000 bonus and a book of stock in the dye company if he could make good. He did. 


THE MAN WHO WAS CRONES IS SOMEBODY ELSE AGAIN

  "Who caught Jean Crones?" "Well" said Spaulding, Nebraska, in high pitch tones. "We caught him." Well, yes they did, like Hughes was elected.
  The bubble is busted. And shucks, the man who was Crones isn't at all. Detective John A. Aiken took a run down to Nebraska yesterday, to give the prisoner who was thought to be the University Club soup poisoner, the once-over. He reported back to Chicago last night with "he looks like Crones, talks like Crones, and acts like Crones might act, but, by golly, he ain't Crones."
  The suspected man had been arrested by Marshall Byrnes of Spaulding, Neb., who had studied descriptions of Crones. As it all turned out, the gent is a corn husker by the name of Charles Lucas.
  So, as Crones himself would probably say to the Chicago police crew, 'Allez au diable," and he still roams the land.

REPORT FROM GOLDFIELD THAT ALIENS CAST BALLOTS

  Information from Goldfield to the effect that many foreigners who had not attempted to take out their first papers were registered and voted at the recent election have caused quite a stir in Tonopah and it is possible that the matter will become the subject of a federal inquiry. If this violation of law was permitted the infraction should be investigated at once and the offenders punished.


NEW MARKET OPENS TOMORROW

  The Inyo market will be open for business tomorrow. It Is located in the Sollender building on lower Main street and is the most capacious meat market in southern Nevada. It is sanitary in every respect. The company is manager by W. B. Sollender and he has acquired a capable corps of employees. There will be no deliveries and the goods will be sold for cash from the block. Mr. Sollender expects by this means to save his customers from fifteen to twenty cents on the dollar on their purchases. A feature will be the cold storage plant. Another innovation will be the poultry department, where birds will be selected and dry picked and cleaned while the customer waits. Inyo county dairy and poultry products will be a feature of the establishment.


ADVERT.

  Warm up with a glass of hot clam juice or a tomato toner. Where? At the Tonopah Liquor Co. If you prefer something else, ask for it.

THIS STORY STANDS AS WARMING AGAINST FLIRTING

The end of the Siegel-Cooper white slave case came yesterday. But the story stands as a warning to girls not to flirt in State street department stores.
  The U. S. attorney's office dropped Mann act charges against Jacob Heilner, millionaire corset maker of New York city, because the girl who made the charges withdrew them. Heilner was completely exonerated
  The girl in the case, is only 19 now, is happily married to a Milwaukee butcher who didn't care if the baby wasn't his child.
  So the trouble ended happily.
  It started happily, too. The girl flirted in Siegel's two years ago, when she was sent to the loop to do some shopping. She got acquainted with Heilner and they started out to enjoy themselves. 
  Just what happened from this time on is a question. The girl told a story of being lured from city to city by Heilner on the promise of marriage. Then the baby came. It was this angle that caused the federal authorities to peek into the case.
  It wouldn't do anybody any good for us to mention the girl's name, so why do it?


DOUBT IF HE IS CRONES

  The identity of the man made a prisoner in Spalding, Neb., under the supposition that he is Jean Crones. University club chef accused of poisoning the soup at the Archbishop Mundeleln banquet last spring, is doubted today.
  In a telephone conversation with Chicago police last night. Marshall Byrnes, who is holding the supposed Crones in Spalding, said he had neither the scar on the inside of his thumb nor the mole under his eye that Crones is supposed to have.
  Det. J. F. Aiken of the Chicago police has gone to Spalding to see if he can identify the man.

JACK LONDON HAS TAKEN HIS LAST CRUISE ON THE SNARK

  Jack London's "Love of Life" has come to a sudden end. Maybe it was the "Call of the Wild" beyond that got him. The noted author is dead.
  Every man, woman; and child who loves real fiction of red blooded life, as well as the Klondike dogs, will mourn the loss of the man who lived through forty one years of thrills and wrote oodles of books on the same.
  London was "so blamed human in his writings and grew so close to real nature that his stories have become known throughout the land as "among the best there is."
  Wednesday morning a servant at London's Santa Rose, Cal. ranch found the author unconscious in his bed. Uremia
poisoning had set in. His death followed Wednesday night. London's wife, Charmian Kittredge, London, was at his bedside.
  London was born in 'Frisco. Always was more or less of a rover. Left Univ. of California in his freshman year to go to the Klondike when' the gold rush was on. Has sailed the seas from one end of the world to the other. Following a tramping
expedition over U. S. and Canada, London became a lecturer. Then his,writings started. He acted as war correspondent during the Russo-Jap war.
  After the war he sailed the south seas in his 65-foot yacht. Snark. He was always gathering data for his books to come.
  And then the books came, and such works as "The Sea Wolf," "A Daughter of the Snows," "The Children of the Frost," "The Faith of Men,""War of the Classes," "White Fang," "Before Adam," "Martin Eden," "Revolution," "When God Laughs,""John Barleycorn," "The Night Born "The Valley of the Moon"and "A Son of the Sun," proclaimed him a foremost American author.
  London later blossomed as a playwright His first attempt was "The, Great Interrogation," which was produced in Chicago in 1907.
  London had been married twice. His first wife was divorced.
  But Jack London' is dead, and with him, judging from his works, he took "his "Faith of Men."

At grade school during recess we played Mumblety-peg on  the grass play ground.
I still have my cub and boy scout pocket knives that carried every day to school.

There was a thriving business of selling cinnamon flavored toothpicks in my grade school.  At first the toothpicks were mildly flavored until some enterprising student started packaging them in plastic tubes filled with cinnamon flavored water.  I used to buy a big, red hot candy dice with a cinnamon toothpick for a holder.  It got so out of hand that the Principal put the kibosh on the whole thing.

It was pretty funny looking back. I was warned that if I looked at or touched anything else that my privilege would be revoked and the other teachers all watched.

This was a different era. Pre-metal detectors. Basically, no security at all. The doors were unlocked all day and a parent could come and pick you up in your room unchallenged if there was a family emergency. In U.S. History, we passed an unloaded 30.-06 around the room and I had brought a hollowed out pineapple grenade to school. "Bring a Weapon for Show and Tell" - there were of course permission slips on what we intended to bring. This was in 1984.  Today, I doubt if any of this would fly even in small town America.

I entered a newly built school for my final year of high school.  They built a special lounge for students that smoked cigarettes.  I never went in there but heard that the smokers took joy in burning holes in the couch and chairs.

Savage had an interesting theory about the prosecuting Hillary turn-around on his show today. Remember late election night when that weirdo spokesman came out and told all the assembled Dems. to go home and get a good nights sleep and be back tomorrow because we are going to fight tooth and nail until every vote has been counted, etc.?  The guy left the stage and literally in minutes word was received that Hillary had conceded the election to Donald by phone.  In a classic case of behind the scenes intrigue, Hillary had called Donald with an offer.  She wouldn't fight the election results  (through long, drawn out court proceedings, etc.) and would admit defeat as long as Donald wouldn't prosecute her.  According to the theory, Donald accepted the offer.

AMUSEMENTS - BUTLER THEATER

  Those who heard Miss Neilson at the Butler last evening were unanimous in declaring that she is the most talented artist that has yet appeared at this theater, in an act that was pleasing to all, which was verified by the outburst of applause from all parts of the house. Miss Neilson was very ably assisted by "Dutch" Parker, who needs no recommendation to the Tonopah public who rendered in his inimitable manner a solo on his cello which also brought out a liberal applause. Miss Neilson will appear again this evening in an entire change of program.

The feature picture tonight will be Hazel Dawn in "The Feud Girl," and Burton Holmes travels, "In Bonnie Scotland." The beautiful and enchanting Hazel Dawn finds in "The Feud Girl" a unique Famous Players production on the Paramount program, the truest medium for expressing the virility and vitality that composes the every day drama of mountain folks. Tomorrow, Ethel Clayton and Carlyle Blackwell in "A Woman's Way, and a Sidney Drew comedy.
 
  Miss Neilson will appear once only this evening, just before the close of the first show, which will be about 8:30. Come early and get a good seat.
