CENSUS TAKERS
MUST LOOK WELL
SUPERVISORS ARE TOLD THAT
ENUMERATORS SHOULD MAKE
A GOOD APPEARANCE.

WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-Instruc-
lions to Supervisors who are to take
the next census, beginning April 16,
1910, have just been forwarded them
by Census Director Durand. There
is nothing in the act prodiving for the
taking of this census, the Director
says, which will prevent women or
persons under 81 years old from be
coming eligible to appointment as emu
meartors, and he says that in both the
eleventh and Twelfth censuses women
were employed in such work.
It is suggested that care be exer-
cieod in the selection of enumerators
and that only those of mature judg-
ment and experience and of good ap-
pearance be chosen.

found between Spanish Springs and

Mexican was murdered, for the top of
his head had been crushed with some
blunt instrument.
The first report received in Tono-

had been caused by gun shot

CREDITORS ARE
UNABLE To agree
on TRUSTEE
FAIL TO EFFECT SETTLEMENT
OF ROUND MOUNTAIN n.y.
DRAULIC COMPANY.

At the meeting of the creditors of
the Round Mountain Hydraulic COM
pany, held in Tonopah yesterday, be-
fore the United States referee in
bankruptcy, J. Poujade of Carson, the
creditors were unable to get together
and elect trustee, there being a
number of objections entered against
some of the claims filed. An adjourn
ment was therefore taken until the
fifteenth day of April, at 10 O'Clock
a. m.
The hydraulic is still working Its
placer lease in the Round Mountain
district during the progress of the
bankruptcy proceedings. Last week s
run amounted to 159 ounces in gold,
which will mean net to the hydraulic
company after deduction of all royal
ties and running expenses about $40
to the ounce, and it is predicted by
those who are on the inside that If
permitted to run the full season that
is now on. with the present enormous
supply of water that they have, from
now until July, they will be able 20
clear their debts, which total about
$4,000.
This company was incorporated
! less than two years ago and has ex-
pended about $4,000 for pipe line
and equipment. Half of this amount
was paid off last year and there Is
no reason to doubt but what the
other half will be liquidated during
the present season.
From this it would look to a mar
up tree that these bankruptcy pro-
| ceedings are only an effort on the
part of those concerned to grab the
control of what is destined to be 6
big paying proposition.

Sixth street for a run into the coun-

they had turned north on D street
and met south-bound Cotton car.
At the critical moment one of two
dogs which were in the tonneau of
the machine leaped into the front
part and so interferred with the
steering gear that Mr.. STRATUS was
unable to avoid the trolley car. The
automobile hit the front of the car
almost head on, and Mrs. STRATUS was
thrown high in the air and fell in
the middle of the road. The child
was thrown between the mud guard
and the engine hood and struck on
the track. Mr.. STRATUS was plunged
downward against the sparkling box.
He was terribly cut about the face
and suffered a compound fracture of
the jaw and broken leg. Mrs.
Stauts suffered a fracture of the leg
and the little boy broken thigh. In
ternal injuries may develop in all
three cases. The noise of the collision
was heard for three blocks.
