PARoLED PRISONERS LEAVE
FOR THEIR FORMER HOMES

Saturday six prisoners who were
recently paroled from the state prison
by the pardoning board, left Carson
for their homes in the various por-
tions of the state. Among the num-
Der was Woodrow Wilson, who for
several months past has acted as
chauffeur for Warden Dickerson. Will
son has been an exemplary prisoner
and has proved himself to be a me-
hanie of no mean ability. He goes to
the eastern part of the state where he
will engage in mining.
His place as chauffeur for the war
den will be filled by Uric, who. with
TRAINER, was found guilty of the
murder of the Quiliei family at Inlay,
Humboldt county, couple of years
ago. Uric, it will be remembered, was
sentenced to hang, but the pardonine
board commuted his sentence to life
Imprisonment the day before the
hanging was to occur. Since his in.
careeration he has proved model
prisoner and has shown that he is a
man to be trusted.
In leaving the prison, all the pa
rolled convicts spoke flatteringly of
the executive ability of Warden Dick
erson in handling the prison and of the
many new policies which he has in
novated.-Carson Appeal.
The Woodrow Wilson above referred
to is probably intended for Roy Viii
son, who was cent up from this county
for horse stealing.

TAKE A LIFE INSURANCE
POLICY-DO IT NOW

You recognize the value of life in
surance and you fully intend to insure,
but as .''times are hard" you propose
to defer the matter to more convent
ent season. Don't do it. If you need
insurance at all, you need it now and
in the immediate future as much as
you ever will. If it is hard to pay for
it now because of financial straits-if
you expect to be in easier circum-
stances in the near future-that sim
ply means that you need the protec-
tion even more at the present moment
than you will hereafter.
But you say you are Sin the best of
health" and hence there is no hurry.
This is the very reason why you should
act at once-because you are in good
health and can get insurance. Tomor
row, or next week, accident or illness
may render you uninsuraDle; or, more
important still, death itself may come
and find you uninsured.
J. A. Lipman is the agent for Win
nemueea and vicinity for the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York,

be glad to call and submit figures and

NEVADA MINER SOLVES
A GREAT PROBLEM

Harry Mcnamara has solved the
question of cheap living through the
operation of diminutive two-stamp
mill that keeps pounding out eonable
gold at the rate of 1916 a day. Me
Namara is associated with Tetrow in
operating the plant and both boys say
they have reached the apex of their
ambitions if the stamp mill does not
go back on them, says the Western
Miner.
Instead of hanging around town and
boasting of high assays and trying to
induce some one to buy their mine,
they boldly set to work to install
plant that would place them on easy
street in short time. The mill is at
Athens, in Mineral county, and the
mine is at Juniper, four miles away.
The mill site is at spring, where the
flow has been steady all through the
summer, and with promise of keeping
up during the winter. The mill has
several novel features, one of which is
that the stamps weigh only 100 pounds
each, but deliver blow equal to
weight of 1000 pounds.

INQUEST AT ROCH-
r ESTER YESTERDAY

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was
held before Judge Savage and a jury
at Rochester over the remains of Billy
Edwards, victim of Tuesday night g
shooting The verdict was to the eff
feet that deceased came to his death
from a gunshot wound inflicted by j.
G. McFadden with 3s-calibre revolv-
er, in the Red Top saloon, Rochester,
in the evening of Nov. 4.
The remains of Edwards were taken
to Lovelock for burial
Facts Brought Out at Inquest.
At the inquest held yesterday it was
brought out that MeFadden had con-
ducted barbershop in Rochester last
winter, when he married the Hoffman
woman. In the spring or early sum
mer they left for San Francisco, but
some six or eight weeks ago the
woman returned and went to work in
the Red Top saloon and dance hall,
conducted by Edwards & Manda.
McFadden returned to Rochester at
about 8 O'Clock Tuesday evening for
the avowed purpose of taking his wife
away from the dance hall. Arming
himself with revolver, he went to the
saloon shortly before midnight and en-
deavored to persuade his wife to leave
the place It is claimed that upon
learning his errand, Edwards, Manda
and "Shortyo Burns attempted to
throw him out of the saloon, when he
drew his revolver and started firing.
The first shot struck Edwards, the
bullet entering the head just above the
right eye, producing instant death.
Frank Manda was shot in the lungs,
Shorty" Burns in the jaw and arm,
and the Hoffman woman received a
flesh wound in the cali of the leg. 1t
is not thought that McFadden intend
ed to shoot her but that she received
one of the bullets intended for one of
the men.
After the shooting McFadden slipped
out of the saloon and struck out for
Oreana, where he was apprehended by
Deputy Sheriff Farms, who pursued
him by auto. Sheriff Lamb was called
IN and went down TO Oreana on No.
.. returning with his prisoner on No.
6 yesterday afternoon.
McFadden will be gwen prelimin-
ary hearing before Judge Savage at
Rochester, ON the 18th of the present
month.
A telephone inquiry at noon today
was answered by the statement that
Manda was still alive but that his
condition was critical and there was
little hope OF his recovery. He was
being looked after at the saloon and
the Hoffman woman was with him.
Burns was taken TO his shack in up
per Rochester, where he is getting
along nicely, with every indication
that he will recover.

President Bush Does Not Stop.

The "president IS Special bearing
President Bush and party, arrived in
Winnemucea at about noon yesterday,
having made the run from Elko, dis
tanee of 1872 miles, in 2 hours and As
minutes. The members of the party
were taking lunch when the train ar
rived and none of them left the din
ing-ear. The train only stopped to
change engine crews, a matter of ten
minutes.
Col. +. X. Place, general manager of
the Winnemueca Northern, entered the
diningcar and greeted President Bush
and members of the party. After the
train had left Col Place said he sim
ply shook hands with the officials and
that the Winnemucea Northern was
not discussed. AS Col. Place left for
San Francisco last evening, it is sur
missed that he went to keep an ap-
pointment with the Western Pacific
president.
1t is stated that it was the original
intention of President Bush to stop off
here for a day, but he was obliged to
go through in order to be present at a
meeting of Western Pacific directors,
to be held in San Francisco today.

BUSH AND PARTY
ENROUTE TO COAST

Bankers of the Denver & Rio Grande
and the Western Pacific accompanied
President B. +. Bush upon his tour of
inspection over the lines Tuesday with
a view of seeing whether the property
will stand another bond issue of $70,-
100000 in order to build feeders to the
Western Pacific in California, Utah
and Nevada, says the Herald Republi-
can. Automobile trips have been ar
ranged by the Boise Commercial club
by which Presldent bush and his party
will be taken over the line of the Win
nemueca Northern Friday and Satur-
day November Ii and 15 If the
bankers give the word, it is said that
the Western Pacific will go to work
at once on the road.
The trip is being made entirely In
the interests of the financial condition
of the Gould system, and to impress
upon those who furnished money for
the building of the Western Pacific
that more money must be forthcoming
in order TO secure business. Several
kilograms were awaiting the party at
Salt Lake from different points in
Idaho, and there was a long distance
telephone call for Vice President +. l..
Brown from James E. Clinton, vice
president of the Boise City National
bank in Boise. Mr.. Brown seemed
very anxious to answer the telephone
call, but owing to the special train
stopping for only fifteen minutes
it was impossible to get line through
to the Idaho capital. 1t was said that
the call had to do with the entertain
ment of the party in Boise.
Will Visit in idaho
President Bush said that he and the
bankers would 90 to Boise November
10 and would probably VISIT Twin Falls
November 13. The itinerary Of the
special train calls for two or three
days in Boise, and it was said by
member of the presidents party
that in all probability the party would
go over the line of the Winnemucca
Northern and at least look over the
Citizens right-of way, which runs
through Ada county and Boise, and
which will be donated to the first rail
road built into the city with transcon-
tinental connections. This right-of
millions of dollars and the bankers in
the party wish to see it, declared a
secretary on board the train.
In the party besides President Bush
were E. L. Marsten, representing Blair
& Co., the New York bankers who
financed the Western Pacific and are
the financial agents of the Denver &
Rio Grande; d. l.. Potter, representing
Solomon & Co., from whom it is ex-
pected to raise about $35,000,000 for
the new improvements; and Vice
President f. l.. Brown of the Western
Pacific. The bankers have been TAX
ing eopious notes upon the condition
of the Denver & Rio Grande, and there
was quite stack of papers in Presi-
dent Bush's car belonging to the
financial men.

A farmer once bought mule at the
market and named it Tough Hide, for
it looked as if it mad been accustomed
to more blows than food. He put the
animal in his little clover field, and
this it seemed to enjoy very much
One morning Tough Hide saw troop
of asses coming down the lane, look
ing rather thin He asked them il
they would like nice feed OF sweet
clover. "Ah, wouldn't vel" brayed
the asses.
So the mule with his teeth drew out
the staple which fastened the gate
and let them in. Soon after the farm

eating his clover, so he got cudgel
and drove them all out. He not only
gave the asses a sound thrashing. but

Oats sprouted to supply green food
when none is growing in the open.
The arrangement of the trays
shows sowing at week intervals.
Then trays can be slipped out and
placed in the poultry house as
needed
poultry is not so profitable as it ought
TO be. The feeding question is one
of the most important in the whole
poultry business.
Experts tell us that hen needs
about six ounces of food day. A
flock of ten, then, will need about
three and three-fourths pounds day,
or trif1e over twenty-six pounds
week.
Of this amount two-thirds by weight
should consist of grains The grain
wheat, cracked corn and oats. A few
handfuls of sunfiower seed, cane seed
or buckwheat should be added for va
riety. They are to the hen what pie
is to the boy-and you know what
that is
A good formula for a mash is as
follows: One-half bushel Of bran,
quarts alfalfa meal, quarts each of
ground oats and corn meal, table
spoonful of charcoal, / pint of beef
scrap, 1 tablespoonful of salt and |
teaspoonful Of pepper.
These ingredients should be thor
oughly mixed together, and the mash
kept where the hens can get it any
time they want it. 1t is a bulky food,
but not d fattening one, SO there is
no danger of their eating too much.
The bran Is one of the best condition
powders" poultry can have. 1t keeps
the system vigorous and healthy and
furnishes a large part of the egg-mak-
ing elements
The grain food should always be
thrown into deep little of straw or
chaff, where the birds will have
to scratch for living" If you have
ever watched an old hen digging about
in the yard you will know that it is
as natural for her to dig as it is to
breathe.
Grit and lime, usually given in the
form of oyster shells, are two other
necessary elements. They should be
kept before the fowls all the time. A
very convenient hopper for feeding
the mash, grit and shells may be made
like the illustration, the compartment
for the mash being much larger than
the others

JUST WHAT HENS EAT
Meat Is Usually in Form of Bugs
and Worms.
Considerable Studying and Expert
menting Necessary to Find Out
What Fowls Need and How
Much They Should Have.
(By KATHERINE ATHERTON
GRIMES.)


The hen has three reasons for eat
Ing: to repair the tissues Of her
body, TO keep herself warm, and to
make eggs. 1t therefore follows that
her diet must be varied and plentiful.
If we open the crop of hen that
has been allowed to eat just what she
pleased we will find that she has pro
vided herself with three kinds OF food
grain, green stuff and meat The
last named is usually in the form of
bugs and worms.
We must, then, furnish our hens
with food of these classes. Moreover,
the quantity must be about right Of
each. If they are not given enough,
they will have to use it all for body
building and heat production. and will
have nothing left over TO make eggs
with. If we feed too much of some
kinds the surplus will go to fat, and
the hens will get too lazy 70 lay
1t takes considerable studying and
experimenting to find out just what
the hens need, and how much they
ought to have, but we must learn as
soon as we can, or we will find our
