RESCUED FROM POISONOUS
VENOM u SNAKE

Last Tuesday, Francis, the 4.year-ola
child OF section Foreman McNally, at
Creana, was bitten by a huge rattle
snake, while the boy was at play in
the yard of their home there. The
child s cries attracted the mother, who
siezed the child and quickly applied a
first aid in wrapping ligature tightly
around the limb, above the wound.
The local frenght train was just
passing through Oreana. 1t was held
up and the injured boy was brought to
Lovelock and placed under the care of
DIR. Martin, who took heroic measures
to save the child's life. The treat
ment up to this thine appears to have
been very successful. The McNallys
returned to their home yesterday with
the little boy, and although the limb
was swollen to great extent, it is
believed all the poison has been re-
moved.
Although there are many rattle
snakes in the desert, it is quite sell
dom that any person is bitten. And it
is generally q small child or an animal
that is stung by these venemous rep
tiles.
Saving the life of the McNally child
is somewhat remarkable, considering
that after being bitten it was brought
all the distance to Lovelock, it being
several hours after the snake had sunk
it's fangs into the boy before he was
under the physicians care. Death from
rattlesnake bite is only a matter of a
short time, generally. The action of
the mother in binding the leg above
the wound and preventing the blood
circulating through the poisoned
region, as well as the efficient treat
ment of DR.. Martin, are alike respon.
sible for the saving of the Toys life.

DISCUSSES ADJUSTMENT
III WAltR klunIS
(From The Silver State News.)


II. b. Crowell, field engineer OF the
stale engineers office, who is engaged
in MAKING surveys and adjusting water
rights on the humboldt river and its
tributaries, was in town for DAY Or
two the fore part of the week. In
speaking OF his work to representa-
tive OF the Silver State News, Mr..
Crowell said:
"Although Nevada is generally
known as an arid state, there is water
enough to answer all legitimate pur-
poses if handled right. The state en-
gineer's Office was organized in 1908,
and since that time has adjusted the
water rights on the Carson, Walker
ond Big Muddy rivers. The fact that
not a single complaint has been made
goes to show what can be done in the
way of irrigation when the water is
handled in an equitable and systematic
smanner.
"The last legislature appropriated
the sum of $25,O0O to adJudlcate water
rights on the Humboldt and it's tribu-
taries. This work is now being carried
ON under the general supervision Of
Frank r. Nicholas, state engineer, and
under the special direction of J. R.
Van Nagell, assistant engineer. We
started in at the Humboldt sink, about
fifteen miles below Lovelock, three
months ago, and have completed the
work as far as Winnemucca, which ter
ritory has been officially designated
District No. l. From Winnemucca 70
Palisade canyon is District No. 2. We
are now engaged on the Little Hum
boldt, in Paradise valley, and expect I'd
have the entire district finished before
the end of the present year.

that in our work we are receiving the

"a DAYS RELIGIOUS FAST
ENDS IN TIPPIN'S DEATH

ROME, Ga, Dec. pa fast of "a days,
which he claimed was predestined by
Providence, has resulted in the death of
j. viii Tippin, prominent business man
and we'll known citizen.
Not long ago Tippen was convinced that
he had catarrh of the stomach. For "A
days he did not taste a drop of food. His
family begged and pleaded with him, and
he listened to them with kindness, but
was determined that he was pursuing the
right course.
Finally, on the 25th day, DIR. Wicker
came to the house and told Tippin that
he had been sent there by Providence to
give him food. He was SO weak at THAI
time that he could hardly rise from his
bed. Slight nourishment was given him
at first. He showed little improvement.
his stomach was so weak and disordered
that it would not assimilate food. All the
Innings of his stomach had been eater
away Every effort was made to restore
the mans strength and when death came
it closed the career of a most remarkable
man.
Tippin was a stakeholder in the South
ern Cooperative Foundry, the American
Bank and Trust company and the Rome
Scale Works. He leaves a wife and five
children.

Now it is believed that such unfavorable
conditions would greatly lessen the

might either be entirely without seed

if this should prove to be the case, care
should be taken to keep from jeopardiz
