JOE HFNKfL KILLED By
s. P. TRAIN AT INLAY

Joe Henkel, a well-known young
man, met with an accident at Inlay
early yesterday morning that cost him
his life. He was coming from Love
lock to Winnemucca to attend the
Carnival, and at INLAY went to step
off the tender of the engine attached
to No. 20. Missing his footing, he fell
to the ground. and it is said that had
he remained there he would have es-
capped, but in trying to crawl out he
was caught by the front trucks of the
baggage car, and both legs were sew
cred.
DR.. Colby was called and the young
man was placed aboard the circus
train coming to Winnemucca, accom-
panied by DIR. Colby and Constable
Rich, but died as the train reached
Cosgrave.
DR.. Webster was telegraphed for
and met the train at the station, but
of course could be of no assistance.
The accident occurred on train No
20, of which George w. Henkel, father
of the young man, was brakeman.
Joe Henkel was a grandson of Mrs
Roddy and a nephew of Mrs. J. p.
Grandel. He was born in Winnemucea
twenty-five years ago and lived here
nearly all thase years. He was men,
ber of the Reno lodge of Moose and
the funeral will be held under the aus
piees of the local lodge of the Loyal
Order of Moose in Winnemucca tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock, from

PARADISE YOUNG MAN
ARRESTED GRAVE CHARGE

Constable Charles Byrnes came
over from Paradise .alley last night,
having in custody Pete Riley, arrest
e on a charge of criminal assault.
The complainant is 19-year- old
French girl, residing ON a ranch near
town.
Riley will probably have his prelim-
mary examination, unless he should
waive, in Paradise Valley, but it was
thought inadvisable to place him in
the Jail there, owing to the inflamed
of public opinion.

Inc HfSU feature on IOudN pro-
gram was the crowning of the Carni-
val Queen. As early as 10 clock the
crowd began to assemble at the court
house, where the exercises were held
and many of them found seats on the
lawn. A flower bedecked bower had
been constructed to the worth of the
entrance and upon this Queen Dora,
with her maids of honor, Misses Alma
Hoskins, Nina Roundtree, Beatrice
Lapgwith, Hazel Reid, pages Aldine
Duncan and Gladys Pearee were seat
ed. Judge J. A. i.angwlth, who had
been chosen TO crown the Queen dis
cussed briefly the benefits that had
accrued to labor since the establish
ment of Labor day, and with few
graceful words set the crown upon the
head of the young Queen, at the same
time bowling his knee in recognition
of her authority.
In acknowledging the honor con
ferred upon her, Queen Dora address
ed her subjects as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
/ desire to thank the people of Win
nemucca for the honor they have be-
slowed upon me in naming me as their
Queen during the life of the festivi-
ties, of which this is the opening day.
| trust that every one of the resi-
dents of Winnemueea and the people
who have come from afar to enjoy
with us our Carnival time will feel
with myself and maids of honor the
same joyous happiness that we expert
ence at the present time.
This is celebration in honor of
Labor day--a day which has been set
aside by proclamation of those in
authority as day when the people of
our country may gather together and
laying aside their work and business
cares pay fitting tribute to the artisan,
the mechanic and the tiller of the
soil. This is their day and they have
chosen to celebrate it by races, games,
dances and sports. In other words, it
is day in which dull care must be
banished and the spirit of laughter ae
claimed.
The gates of Winnemucca have been
opened wide, and to those who are
our guests / say in the name of the
people of Winnemueca that you are
welcome. You will find in every home
hospitality unbounded and upon every
face the smile of welcome.
SO bid you all enter into the spirit
of this festive occasion. Let us all
be as merry as the birds of the
springtime, and as joyous as their
song.
Come, fill the cup, and in the fire of
spring
Your winter garment of repentance
fling;
The bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter-and the Bird is on the
wing.
1t is my will, and as your Queen,
good people, | bid you make merry,
let joy be unconfined, and after our
three days of Carnival are over and
you return to your homes, may there
dwell in your hearts sweet recollec-
tions of this day, and may you soon
return and be with us again.

.ORICIN OF LABOR
DAY IN new YORK

Unlike other holidays that are OBJ
served by the American people, Labor
day did not have its beginning in the
commemoration of any great event in
the worlds history and for that rea-
son there is considerable doubt as TO
who was responsible for tbs birth.
There are many who lay claim to
being the originators of Labor's ma
tional holiday, and there have been
many chronological tables produced in
support of each ones claim. Au-
thorities, however, are almost unani-
mously agreed that the celebration
that has now become one of the ma
tional holidays was given it's first i'm
pulse by the Knights of Labor in New
York in 1882.
At this time the Knights of Labor.
under the leadership of T. V. Powder.
~, was the principal labor organiza-
tlon OF the world. However, It was
purely educational movement, and
sought to gain the desired ends by
creating favorable sentiment. But
It's members finally became tired of
paying dues and attending meetings
without securing immediate bene-
hts, and the membership dwindled un-
til it is probable that today there is
not local branch of the order west
of Pittsburg.
There is no record of any observ-
ance OF the day in 1888, but in 1884 it
was quite generally observed in near
ly all the cities of the country.
Those who took part in this first
movement did not, they say, at that
time dream that what to them was
merely an outing for the toilers of
the metropolis would in the not dis
tant future assume world wide proper
tions.
1t is coincidence that the men
who laid the foundations for Labor
day selected the first Monday in Sep
tember. Why they did SO they do not
know except for the fact that at
that time of the year most of the
industrial institutions 1 the country
are either about to resume operations
or have done so, and with year of
steady work and good wages as the
prospect the toilers felt more in a
mood to jubilate.
The first celebration in New York
took the form which has been the
accepted one for years, namely, a
parade of the union forces of the
city. Following this another feature,
speeches by leading labor orators, was
also found on the program.
In 1886 the American Federation of
Labor went on record as favoring a
day of this kind and instructed the
delegates to work among their con-
stituents and secure as early as posi-
BILE legislative approval OF it. This
gave the movement its real start.
To Colorado belongs the credit of
first putting the stamp of executive
approval on Labor day. On March Is,
1887, the bill which had passed both
houses unanimously received official
sanction. Following closely after came
New Jersey, on April sth of the same
year, while New York fell in line a
month afterword.
The trade unionists o. Pennsylvania
observed the holiday some years be-
fore 1889, when the legislature of that
state made it legal holiday. The
act of 1889 merely set tn edate as the
first Monday in September in con-
formity with THAT of other states.
Every state in the Union except
Arizona, Mississippi, North Dakota
and Louisiana has adopted a lay set
ting this day apart.

FINE SHEAF OF WHEAT
PLACED ON EXHIBITION

This morning Chris Heubach plac-
ed on exhibition in front of the Silver
State building, sheaf of wheat rails
ed on his Grass valley ranch. The
straw is of good length, with the
heads well filed, and it is safe to say
that no finer grain can be raised in
any of the great wheat producing

CHURCHILL COUNTY FAIR
HAS BEEN POSTPONED

The Fallon fair has been post
poned until September Goth and will
continue until the 4th of October. The
date was originally set for the first
part of September, but on account of
the state fair coming in September,
the management of the local fair
thought that it would be best to post
pone their date in order to not inter
fere with the time set by the state fair
management.

Repairs At County Hospital

Last Fall the Commissioners had all
the buildings at the County Hospital
re-shingled aud the roofs painted; wood.
en- ceilings we're put into several of the
rooms; the old paper and lining was
torn of. and the walls thoroughly dis.
infected. refined and papered.
During the past month the other
rooms have been gone over in the same
manner, and the wood work painted in
side and out. making the whole building
fresh and wholesome and giving it a
neat and attractive appearance.
A new No. 8 ranR with a 40 gallon
compression boiler has also been put in.
These repairs have been needed for
some time, and as the county's finances
this year are in good condition it was
deemed advisable to do the work at this
time.
