An Illinois town has adopted
some good plans relative to autos
in their city. The mayor and citi-
zens hope to curb some of the evils
caused by reckless drivers. They
say that -"Drivers must turn to
the right and turn square corners.
In stopping cars on business streets
always stop the car with the right
hind wheel at least FIVE feet away.
By so doing you can start out on
the right side of the street without
danger of collision. Speed limits
strictly enforced. The open ex-
haust will not be permitted in the
city. A fine and revocation of
license is the penalty for driving

MEzUMA SUFFERS AGAIN

A special dispatch from Lovelock
yesterday to the Reno Gazette
says:
Seven Troughs valley has again
been swept by a succession Of
floods caused by cloudbursts. At
noon today a report reached this
city that serious cloudbourst has
occurred and before further par
ticulars could be obtained the wires
from Mazuma and Seven Troughs
went down. At this hour 1920
o'clock) little definite information
as 10 the amount of damage can be
obtained. 1t is believed that the
flood waters rushing down the
canyon carried the telephone wires
away.
Before the telephone wire was
cut off, it was stated that trem-
endous' body of water was coming
down the cany on, sweeping all be-
fore it. &c..
Last night shortly after mid
night, a heavy food of water came
down the Seven Troughs canyon
and the panic stricken survivors of
the recent food which swept away
the town of Mazuma fled for the
nillsides in their night clothes and
barefooted. The wall nf water
was five feet in height and took
part of the cyanide wall of the
Coalition Mining company with it.
The people of Seven Troughs are
bordering on hysteria and are leav-
ing the district as rapidly as
possible
Lovelock is anxiously awaiting
the news Of the extent of the
damage and possible loss of life in
the "loudburst which occurred al
one o'clock this afternoon.
