brothers of the Gould ranch just out
side of Reno, accidentally shot himself

do some haying at the ranch in Dry
valley. The party arrived there and
Allen, saddling pony and shouldering
a shotgun, left his companions, saying
he was ging after sage hens.
His continued absence had already
caused alarm when the young son of
Neal West and another boy came
across Allen s horse standing riderless
by the side of spring Upon reach
ing the animal they found lying near
the spring the lifeless body of Gould
The entire top of his head had been
blown off. The footmarks on the
moistened soil indicated that he had
slipped and fallen, thus accidentally
discharging the gun.-Reno Journal

THE PROVINCE OF
A NEWSPAPER

He who runs a newspaper and prints
the news must expect at times to have
TO fight. For there come times when
it devolves upon the newspaper 10
print news showing up wrong doefs.
who in turn attempt to revenge them
selves And so the assault made on
a reporter for the Silver State News,
by County Clerk HILL is a mere insi-
dent of the business.
The impression seems to prevail
around here that certain news must
not be printed. This paper was the
only local sheet that in any way men
TONED the shortage in the county
clerk's Office, and some months ago
when the former clerk was compelIe
to resign no newspaper mention was
made of the fact.
These matters are legitimate news.
They are matters that concern the
public. They are of vital interest to
the taxpayers. No public Official
should object to the fullest publicity
of his official acts, and he should have
no grievance against newspaper fo
publishing articles bearing on his
official conduct so long as the truth is
stated The newspaper is strictly
within the bounds of its rights in
giving to the public the transactions
of the public s servants
While the present immediate man
agement is in charge this paper will
print the news whenever it can get it
The Silver State News has no desire
90 persecute or prosecute any public
official If there is anything Of thaf
kind TO be done the district attorney
county commissioners or bondsmen ar,
the ones TO do it.

PICTURES OF BULL FIGHT
RECALL SPANISH CRUELTY

The pictures of the bull fight, given
the past two evenings by the moving
picture show. convince one that Spain
is very cruel nation In the pictures
a number of horses are wounded an
others gored to death. This is the
the favorite national pastime, and the
queen of Spain has lost the love of her
people because she refuses to attend
the atrocious festivities. Aside from
the bull fights, a casual reading Of the
history of Spain makes one shudder at
the turning of almost every page.

to produce an increased flow of blood to nOurish the hair roots, and when one feels a slightly tingling sensation in the scalp it is a sure indication that the desired object is accomplished.
 In following out the third move ment do not hesitate to gently pull the hair at the roots. Some persons who are greatly troubled with falling hair may consider this treatment rather heroic and fear to proceed I will assure them that their fears are grOundless and that these manipula- tiOns are truly beneficial if performed with proper care and in accordance with the directions given and there need not be the slightest fear of in- jury.
 When a hair is separated from it's papilla, it is practically dead, and it's loss is merely a matter of a day or two sooner or later. besides, by re- naining in the follicle. it only retards the growth of the new hair which is ready to take it's place.
 Be particular in your, selection of a hair preparation and get one which is suitable for your case Ther are many that are worthless and a few which are truly excellent.

LARGEST ON RECORD.

Two pockets in an overcoat are nothing rare, but two overcoats in a pocket, or rather two pockets, is the unusual achievement of the largest pair of trousers on record which has just been invented by a New Yorker
 Their largeneSs consists not in their size but in the capacity of their pockets, and had their inventor con- fined his efforts to the legitimate field he might have made a fortune among boys in all parts of the cOun- try. The remarkable feature of these trousers lies in the fact that they contain six pockets each of which is capable of holding a winter OvercOat
 The garment was not designed, how ever, as a substitute for a trunk, or even suit case. Its purpose, as ad
 mitted by it's inventor in the police court, is purely nefarious, the re- markable garment being designed as an aid to shoplifting. When the in- ventor, owner and sole operator of these remarkable trousers was arrest ed because of his peculiar actions, it was found on searching him that his pockets contained two overcoats. three skirts and one pair of shoes. all unpaid for. While the invention is undoubtedly new and of immense possibilities, in it's field. it is likely to be little used in the near future. both because the police are watching for it and because its inventor will wear stripes for some time to come.
