REAL Wild WEST
SHOW SATURDAY

OF the many tented aggregations
that are touring the country this year
there is not one that has brought into
prominence truthful western depic-
tions as has the 101 Ranch Real Wild
West show, which is to be here on
next Saturday, May A. There is that
something about this show that is alb
sent in all others and it fills a niche
In the amusement world that was va
cant up to the time of the organiza-
tion of the 101 Ranch show. There
have been many so--called wild west
shows sent out on the road during the
past few years but when compared to
the exhibition coming here they are
not wild west shows in any one way.
Shows whose owners effect the long
hair and whose performance consists
of pistol shots and a series of wells
do not make up real wild west show.
The 101 Ranch show is of purely west
ern origin and carries with it an un-
mlstakable western atmosphere 1t
comes direct from the famous Miller
brothers l0l Ranch at Bliss, Oklaho
ma, and there is not the first thing
about it that can be credited to the
east
When the show was first organized
the policy then was to eliminate all
that had ANYTHING of an eastern aroma
about it and this policy has since been
sacredly adhered to. Every man,
woman and child that take part in the
great performance is of western ma
tivity. Many of the Indians and pio-
neers who participate in the battle
depictions are but fighting over again
the original battles in which they were
principals during the early struggle of
progress westward. 1t is the truthful
LONELINESS that has made this show so
famous

JURY'S VERDICT
ACCIDENTAL DEATH

Last Saturday afternoon Coroner
j. 7. Dunn received a wire from Mill
City, stating that man had been
killed at the mill in Star City, and
asking him to come and hold an in
quest.
Coroner Dunn left for Mill City ON
5. L. No. 3 Saturday evening, taking
Undertaken Miller with him, and the
14-mile drive to Star City was made
early Sunday morning. Upon his arriv-
al Coroner Dunn ecpannelled jury,
composed of L. G. Springer, Ed Davis,
h. q. Miller, Hugh Willis, A K.
Graetz and Josie Phillips. Upon view
ing the remains the jury aseertained
that the back of the head of deceased
had been mashed to pulp, both legs
broken and the body otherwise
bruised.
There were no eye witnesses to the
accident, and the only testimony avail
able was that of L.. V. Pflum, of the
leasing company of that name, which
was running the mill, and a young
Italian named Brkley. Both men had
been working with deceased up to
about 1890 O'Clock Saturday, at which
time they left the mill. Brkley re-
turned in about Is minutes, when he
found the body lying dead on the
lower floor of the mill.
. The jury found that deceased was
named James A. Isenhour, "A years of
age, and that he came to his death by
being caught in the betting of the
mill. No blame was attached to any
one
At the request of relatives of Isen-
hour, living in Salt Lake City, the
body was brought to Miller's under
taking parlors in Winnemucca and pre-
pared for shipment to Salt Lake City.
However, at the time of the Silver
Stats's press hour had not been
definitely decided whether the remains
will be shipped or buried here.

AUTO STAGE LINE
FOR NORTH END

In order to keep abreast with the
times, Haviland & Hoskins. Winnie
mucca's enterprising transportation
firm, have decided to change their
stage lines from horses and coaches to
automobiles, and the new order will
he inaugnrated between tomorrow and
the 10th of May
Five new machines have been pur-
chased Tor the exclusive use of the
stage lines, but they will only handle
passengers and mail the baggage and
freight, and such passengers as prefer
the cheaper service, to be taken care
of by team and wagons
While the new schedule has not been
fully arranged, it has been definitely
decided to have a daily auto service
between Winnemueca and McDermitt,
machine to leave each town every
day, except Sunday. Paradise valley
and National will probably be supplied
with swings, but whether with autos
or horses has not been fully decided.
Haviland & Hoskins' present mail
contract will expire on July l, 1914,
but by that time there may be many
changes in transportation methods. In
the two years intervening, Col. Place
will probably have his railroad well
under way, or an airship line may have
been established. But whatever the
Innovations, it is safe to say that. if
they renew their contract for another
four years, Haviland & Hoskins NAV
be depended upon to take the mails
through in record time.

WOOL INDUSTRY BACKBONE
OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY

Several wool buyers have been in
the county for the past few days, and
it is understood that they have con-
tracted for number of clips of
late WOOL July delivery, at a
price around IA cents. Considering
the fact that Is cents was the top
notch for searly wools'' the present
market is a cent or two above what
was anticipated.
The early wools'' have all been
sold and most of the product has eth
er been shipped or is lying at the sta
tions awaiting cars.
Humboldt county owes much to it's
wool industry. We're it not for this
commodity, this would be the dullest
season of the year. However, with
the money paid out for shearing, lamb
ing, etc., to say nothing of the large
amounts invested in supplies. times
are kept up until ranchers begin har-
vesting their crops.

CATTLE co. MUST
REMOVE FENCES

At Carson City Saturday United
States District Judge harrington rem
dered a decision in the suit brought by
the government against the Golconda
Cattle company charging the illegal
fencing OF federal lands. In the
court 's opinion. no intention on the
part of the Golconda company to vio-
late the statutes was shown. and no
fines were imposed, but it was held
that certain of the company Is fences,
while inclosing its own lands, did not
admit of sufficient access to the pub
lie domain, and the defendant COM
pany was given FIVE days in which to
enlarge the openings
1.-THE defendant company has the
right to fence its own lands,' said
Judge Farrintgon, "but it must not
so exercise this right as to prevent
public use of government lands. I find
no evidence of any intention to vio-
late the statute; but while the defend
ants have endavored to keep within
the law, | am satisfied that the open
ings are not sufficient to afford reas-
onable access TO the land in question.
Those to the west and south are in
sufficient. ] therefore find the inclos-
ure to be unlawful and it must be
abated. The defendants are given five
days to enlarge the openings at Tojam
and Rock Creek and at Willow
Creek -

The Forward Club.

Wnlle III may perhaps De trfIle
early for the suggestion, what is
known in other commercial organiza-
tions as a "Forward Club would
seem to be a necessary auxiliary to all
organizations of this character. This
branch is composed entirely of
women, and its principal function is
to get in touch with the wives and
daughters of intending settlers, whose
first inquiry is with regard to church,
school and social facilities. That the
Forward club can also interest
its members in questions pertaining to
the public welfare is evidenced in the
following article, taken from the
Caldwll Tribune:
GA vigorous campaign for the beau
tifying of Caldwell is about to be
launched by the Forward club and one
that is the most practical yet advanc-
ed for the solution of this problem.
According to the plans outlined by
the Forward club. the civic committee
of that body will be enlarged to six
members, two for each ward of the
city. This committee will ask, at the
meeting of the Commercial club in
May, that a like number be chosen
from that body to form general com
mittee to cooperate with the city
council along lines of civic improve
ment 1t will be the duty of the gen
eral committee to divide each ward
into neighborhood groups. each to be
working unit in the task of making
that particular part of the city a
beauty spot that will excite the ad-
miration of all. The basic principle of
the scheme is the rousing of neighbor-
hood pride through the grouping idea,
and the consequent competition be-
tween these various groups which is
certain to follow.
"This promises an easy solution of
the heretofore vexatious cleanup
problem, since cleanliness and order
are the first essentials to beauty in
any line. Each neighborhood club or
group will encourage the planting of
bulbs, shrubs and trees, the moving of
unsightly buildings compliance with
sidewalk and curbing ordinaces, and
everything that will contribute to the
beautifying of that particular section
&C the city.
"This localizing of responsibility is
certain to stimulate friendly competi-
ton among individual property own
ers which is exactly what is needed
{, make city beautiful.
"With individual and cooperative
cfort. there SENS to be no reason why
Caldwell should not blossom as the
ose The scheme outlined by the
I'orwar club should meet with the
hearty endorsement of every citizen.

MORE MONEY FOR.
WESTERN PACIFIC

Seventy-one per cent Of the capital
stock OF the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad was voted at Denver Satur-
day at the special stockholders meet
ing to authorize the issue of $25, 5,OOO,-
600 in bonds. the meeting was held in
the executive offices of the company
in the Equitable building and the au-
thorizng of the bond issue was the
only business transacted.
The bonds first will be offered to
the stockholders of the road, who have
exclusive privileges to buy until June
|, when they will be placed on the
market for the public.
The banking firms of Blair & Co.
and Solomon & Co. have underwritten
the bonds and will buy those which
have not been sold September l.
OF this issue, only $10,000,000 will
be sold at once, the proceeds of
which will be used in improvements on
the roadbed in Colorado and Utah
and for caring for the interest on the
outstanding bonds of the Western Pa
cifc, for which the Rio Grande is
liable.
Some for Western Pacific.
About $2,500,000 will be expended
for new equipment and locomotives,
which will result in an increase of
revenue of not less than $50O,OO0 per
annum. 1t is proposed also to set
aside $2,500,000 of the proceeds of the
bonds to acquire obligations of the
Western Pacific railway. A portion
will be used by the Western Pacific
to apply on payment of first mortgage
bond interest. The remainder is to be
used for important improvements on
the Western Pacific, including CON-
pletion of low grade line, las miles
west of Salt Lake, and the company's
shops at Sacramento. In addition about
100000 will be expended on securing
a large berry boat to ply between
Point Richmond and San Francisco.
