PIOCHE, New, May Tn dis
pute over mining claims at Copper
City last week John r. Ward was shot
and killed instantly by Fremont
Cobb, a member of the firm of Cobb
Bros. Of Moapa, one of the largest mer-
camille establishments of Lincoln
county. District Attorney Horsey has
been in Overton during the week rep
resenting the state in the preliminary
examination of the defendant in the
suit.
There were about eight eye witness
es to the tragedy, but the opinions OF
these differ in regard to the character
of the crime, whether it was justifi-
able or necessary.
From the evidence submitted at the
trial it appears htat Cobb and Ward
had quarreled considerably in disputes
over mining claims to which they
claim adverse interest, and on the
evening of the tragedy Ward went to
the tent occupied by Mr.. Cobb and in
vited him to come out and settle the
differences and the latters shot him,
claiming self defense as the motive.
The evidence was somewhat conflict

DON'T DEsECRATE DECORATION
DAY

We are told that Bill Squires will
introduce himself to the American
people by fight in the prize ring on
Decoration day, the. one day in the
year that should be consecrated to the
memory OF the dead soldier, who gave
his life that we, his descendants,
might enjoy the blessings that have
come to us by the sacrifice of those
lives on our own battlefelds--but the
day is hallowed by the knowledge
that there are none but have friend
in some one of our many cemeteries,
and we all recognize the fact that this
day is especially set apart, not for
prize fights, but for the sacred duty of
paying just tribute to our departed
friends. Let all who respect their
dead friends unite and protest against
this sacrilege.

At Battle Mountain last week .
dastardly attempt was made upon the
life of Brakeman W. HI. Cohee by two
tramps who had been refused a free

the train stopped at Battle Mountain
Cohee got off to change the switch.

the train he noticed the two men. hid

them alone and threatened him with

perienee that 4'aul Collen, a prospector
has just passed through.
He was brought into Winnemucca
this morning by David Giroux, ID. Cor.
dano and Dan Defenbaugh, the good
Samaritans, who found him on the de
serted road.
Seen this morning as he lay on a
cot at johnson and Ramdohr 8 corner,
he told the story of the accident.
He had left Winnemucca last Fri
day on prospecting trip in which
Nelse johnson was interested, and had
intended going southwark along the
Humboldt range past Wonder and in
to the southern part of the state. He
had with him two horses, one which
he was riding and pack animal
lead behind. While jogging along the
road on the west line fence of the So
noma ranch, about twenty miles south
of Winnemucca last Saturday noon
he dropped the rope by which he was
leading the pack animal, AS he lean
ed down from his saddle to grasp the
rope, the animal he was riding sudden

The horse continued to jump, and

scarcely had he struck the ground
when he was trampled upon. His
right leg was broken in two places
in the hip joint and below the knee.
Freed from its rider, the horse ran
off, leaving him helpless on the
ground. The pack animal remained a
short time, when it too joined it's mate
and helpless man lay with no hopes
for succor.
Thus from Gay noon to this
morning he lay in the road, without
food and water. Early this morning.
unable longer to endure the pangs of
thirst, he slowly and painfully edged
his way to a small brook near by and
took the first drink he had had since
the accident.
"My! but that drink tasted good,'
said Mr.. Collen thas morning. I had
gotten a little water before by holding

RENO TEAM
wINNEETUCCA TEAM FORWARDS
COMPLIMENTS TO RENO TEAM
Local Team Says Reno Called Them
''Saucy and Impudent and Said
They Would Take Winnemuc-
cas- Scalp

After the girls of the Winnemucca
basketball team achieved a victory
over the Elko team yesterday after
noon, they rightfully proclaimed them
Sc Ives champions of the High school
BIZ sket-ball teams of the state, since
the team defeated yesterday had pre-.
viously defeated the Reno team.
Some time ago negotiations
were in progress between the
Winnemucca team and the Reno team
for a game to take place in Reno.
Through some cause the game was in
definitely postponed, but the Reno
team had Dragged much about how
they would scalp the Winnemucca
team, and according to the local team
they said that the Winnemucca
team had written impudent and saucy
letter TO them" In other words, it
seems they meant to infer that the
Winnemucca girls were provincial and
were decidedly lacking in courtesy as
well as in the knowledge Of basket
ball.
So yesterday, to signal their victory
over the team that had defeated the
basketball girls of Reno, the local
team prepared neat little coffin.
The colors of the Reno High school,
draped in crepe, were placed inside
and the package forwarded to the
Reno High with the sympathy of the
Winnemucca basketball team.

Crosby quickly hurried to the

The next day Brakeman Cohee was

men who had attacked him take a

In reading from month to month
the great mass of material on the
subject of women which appears In
the various periodicals the writer of
this paper has been struck by one ex-
t~raordinary fact. The topic Of health
most important to women and of
vital interest to them-iS rarely
touched upon. Women's achieve
ments in every line of art and indus
try are admiringly set forth. Ex-
perts advise them along the lines
of their professions and ambitions,
but rarely does a great doctor lift his
voice in the friendly warning so many
of them need.
Every one knows that the ideal
| physical life is the life lived out OF
doors in the sunshine and fresh air.
But women who work need a compro-
mise between this ideal system and
the dull routine into which they so
readily fall. Every woman needs to
know, not What is the best hygienic
system for me to follow?" but, What
is the best system to which / can
adapt my daily life, with its exactions
in the way of indoor confinement and
sedentary occupations? How can l
get myself and keep myself in such
condition that nerves and body are
more than equal to the strain l must
put upon them?" For ome should
have more than tie power to endure
grinly. They should have the robust
health, the cool and steady nerves
that give zest to mere physical ex-
isten:e.
To begin, then, with the morning
bath.-the function with which every
woman SHOULD begin her day as reg
uIarly as she leaves her bed. More
nonsense has been written about the
bath than about azy other hygienic
topic. Women have been advised to
take ice-cold baths, cold sprays, hot
plunges and cold packs. Again, some
doctors have protested against the
bath habit, urging women to confine
themselves to one bath a week and
thus avoid the drain on the vitality
which a daily bath entails. In an
swer to all this hear the words of one
of the greatest physicians in Ger
many when a distinguished American
woman consulted him:
Madam" said he, after the history
of her nervous breakdown had been

enough. Do not be indignant; the fail
ing is a national one. The Americans
