NEVADA GAME LAWS
Matters that Interest Sportsmen a,
the Present Time

Nevada is one of the few states
not requiring licenses to be taken out
for hunting, but it has pretty good
son and forbid the expectation Of
game of almost every kind. The close
season in Nevada for deer, antelope,
(males), is from November Is to Sep.

mountain sheep, all the year; for
quai, grouse, prairie chicken, wood

dove, November 2 to July Is; swan.
all the year. County commissioners
may change dates of close seasons
without altering length, for deer, an
telope or sage hens, or lengthen close
seasons for any other game in their
respective counties. Nevada is one of
the few states which did not reel the
need of new game legislation last
year, and most of the others either
considered or passed new laws. The
bag limit in Nevada is as -ollows:
Three deer, three antelope season; !;
20 quails, 20 ducks, 20 sage hens, q
s'ouS', HNe PioNef anu niteeH snlpe a
day.
Doubtless the trainers of the bag
limit law and the no-export yaw acted
wisely, but it is questionable whether
the laws are carefully observed. Re-
sale of all game is prohibited.
As the hunting season has just
opened-September 15-it would be
well for nimrods, especially new
comers who are unfamiliar with local
sale, export and close seasons, as well
as the limit of bags, to note the laws
carefully.

SAFE OF WINNEMUCCA MERCANTILE
CO., LOOTED and $4,000 STOLEN
B. Zahren Exchanges A Dozen Shots With the
Robbers Citizens Complain on Lack
Of Proper Police Protection

They pried the front door of the
Reinhart store open and entered the
small private Office of the firm. The
noise they made entering awakened
B. Zarhen, an employee of the firm
who sleeps in the store. Zarhen in
vestigated and saw the burglars en-
tering the office. Without waiting he
imme diately fred five shots at them
in rapid succession as they stood in
the doorway leading into the private
office. The burglars then ran inside
the office and crouched down behind
the partition between the Office and
the store. They reached over and
knocked off the electric globe inside
the office. Several tense moments in
tervened, when they shouted:
"Oh, sport. stop shooting. We give
up"
''Show your head out of that Office
and | will blow pour brains out, -
was Zarhen's reply. The reply of
Zarhen served to locate him and they
fired five times in the direction from
whence the sound came.
The air was then thick with smoke
and under cover of this opportunity
the safe crackers, crawling slowly or
their hands and knees, reached the
outside door,
AT this juncture Zahren rushed out
of the rear of the store and summoned
the Reinhart brothers, but before they
returned to the office, armed with
shooting irons. the thieves had flown,
leaving behind them chisel, crow
bar and a steel rod, which same prop
erty had probably been used in the
previous burglary.

YES AND THEN SOME

Nevada boasts of population of
55,000,' says the Chicago Record
Herald. Yes, and then some. If Gold
field has 10000, Tonopah 5000, Reno

5000 and Manhattan 2000, that would
amount TO $4,000, without mentioning
any of the smaller towns or counting
any ranchers whatever, nor the larger
towns of Ely, Winnemueca and Elko,
