Tested in the annual election OF the MEM
bers OF the State Board of Agriculture, not
through any spirit Of factionalism or dis
position to turn the rascals out" but
more in the interest of keeping good, ear
nest, Woodworking, competent men--the
tried and true-in position. This is mani
fest in the unanimity Of support that the
majority OF candidates receive, by sus-
pending the rules and electing them by
reclamation. This feeling OF confidence in
the board and the disposition Of holding
onto good man as long as he can be used
or as long as he will permit his services
to be given to the work, is the explanation
Of Iowas great success in state fair en-
terpHses.

Iowa Corn Show and Contest.
The annual corn show and friendly con-
test which the Iowa State Board of Agri-
culture invites each year TO their winter
meeting, is assuming the nature OF an

growers, and affords one OF the very best

asking that the County Commits
sioners call an election to vote on

Charged With Embezzlement.

Chas. Lundgren was arrested
last night on charge of embez-
Element. The complaint is made
by Vim. Richard, and sets forth
that Lundgren appropriated mon
ey belonging to the plaintiff to his
own use without the consent of
plaintiff. 1t seem that while here
some weeks ago ]. w. Keelyn, of
Evanston, ILL.,, made a bargain
with Lundgren and Richard to do
some prospecting in this vicinity
for him, for which he was to send
them the money in payment for
services. One check arrived short
ly after Mr.. Keelyn returned to
the East and was drawn in favor
of Richard and Lundgren. 1t was
cashed upon both parties indoors
it. The next check that came, for
the amount of SIS, was received
by Lundgren, and he cashed it at
E. R. Lam's store and spent the
money, failing to turn over to
Richard his portion of the coin.
Lundgren spent the night in the
cooler and will have a chance to
explain matters to his Honor, JUS
tice Carter, this evening.

Smith Valley Ranch Sale.

A sale of ranch property OF con-
siderable importance took place in
Smith Valley this week. 1t was
the transfer of the O'Banion prop
erty in that valley, consisting of
farms, range land, creamery, dairy,
ETC., to Messrs. Rice, Monroe, Price,
and Mr.. Odds and wife, for the
consideration of $II4.ooo. The
purchasers are Tacoma, Wash,
people, and A. c. Kingsbury is
the man who engineered the deal.
The amount of land involved in
the transaction is something like
5000 acres. Mr.. Kingbury has
been working on this deal for
some months, at first having in
terested some eastern people.
They failed to come through, how
ever, and the Tacoma parties seiZ-
ed the opportunity. 1t was Mr..
Kingsbury's plan to cut the large
holdings up into small farms and
sell to homeseekers, but it is un-
derstood that this plan will not be
followed just at present. The
new owners of the property will
conduct the business on the same
lines that it has been run on, only
on a larger scale, and it is under
stood that Mr.. O'Banion will be
superintendent and general man.

formation states that this new
company has also secured the
George Simpson ranch in Smith
Valley.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
How II Was Celebrated in
Yerington.

Although no great preparations
were made for the Fourth in Yer
ington, there were a great
number of outsiders pres
ent, and nearly all the val
ley folks came to town instead of
going away from the valley. A
picnic was held at the Hanson
ranch at the upper end of town
and all took lunches and had a
good time generally. The OK bar
becue was failure as those who
were managing this part of the
program allowed the beef to burn
up. In the afternoon a ball game
took place between the Dayton
and Yerington mines. 1t was a
closely contested game and show
ed the mines to be pretty evenly
matched. The game resulted in
score of ID to IS in favor of the
Dayton boys.
After the ball game a foot race
took place on Main street in
which Charlie Mcleod, Solly Sc
gal and number of others entered.
The distance was 100 yards, and
Mcleod won easily, with Segal
second.
The next thing on the program
was the broncho busting, which
took place in a field east of town
short distance Fred Brooks was
the only rider, and he did some
fancy work. One of the horses
he rode feel down with him and
for time it looked as though the
rider had been hurt, but he es-
capped injury.
In the evening the wrestling
match between Byran and the Jap
took place in the Owl Hall. There
was large audience but the af-
fair was rather tame one, Bryan
throwing the Jap easily.
After the wrestling match the
hall was cleared and dancing was
INDUCED in until late hour the
next morning. The music was
excellent and the crowd was large.
Everybody had a good time.
The business houses in the
town and many of the private res
licences were nicely decorated in
national colors. While consider
able liquor was drank during the
day not drunken man was OBJ
served, nor was there an arrest
made on any charge whatever.
Furthermore no accidents happen
ed; and taxing it all in all every
body had a nice time. The guests
were well treated and enjoyed
themselves to such an extent that
they will be glad to visit us again
at some future time.

Miss Belle Gates left last Sun
day for Sodaville on a visit to

Mrs. Sam Harsh was an arrival

Chas. Braun was summoned to

Mrs. Mary Shaw was an arrival
from California last Saturday on a

Arthur Gerry and wife are

Jay O'Loane and wife are now
conducting the Sazerac saloon in
Dayton, and are dispensing moth

bar.
To enliven the quietness of the
town Sunday evening footrace
was made up between Alex. Para
more and Louis Heise. The dis
lance was from the postofice to
the Union Hotel and the purse
was a bottle of beer. The con-
testants strove manfully for the
prize. The course was rather
narrow and they would probably
have made better time on the Su-
tro fat. AS it was the distance
was covered in about ten minutes
after both runners had fallen
down and mixed themselves up
together. The greater part of the
time was taken up in getting un'
twisted. Paramore finally won
the race, while Louie was busily
engaged in explaining how easily
he could win. The next event
was boxing match between the
two footracers. 1t will probably
be recorded in history as the slow
est go that ever took place in the
State, but the antics of the con
testants brought forth applause
from the onlookers, and it would
be hard to make the principals be-
lieve that the Corbett- Fitzsimmons
affair was not tame one compared
to their exhibition.
