MOTION AND REAL Es-
TATE IN 1908.

James G Owens. well.known
citizen Of this city, died in lndianap-
oils, Ind, about o'clock Thursday
morning, October %, according to
messages received by the Las Vegas
Review on that date. Colonel Owens
and his wife left here some few
months ago for a trip through the

Nothing Gained
by Auto Racing

Automobile road racing demon
strates nothing of value save the
nerve of the driver who risks life
and limb in guiding the machines
over course at lightning speed.
The buyers of automobile today
consider durability and economy
above all else. Speed is no longer
a selling factor to be talked by the
agent. The racing game is matter
of sport, where men risk their lives
to thrill spectators and run a chance
of winning a paltry sum. The Car
son Labor Day race did not demon
strate the durability of present day
automobiles, but one car out of six
finishing with clean score.

Valley People
Have Auto
Accident

What might have been a fatal
automobile accident occurred last
Sunday when A. Settelmeyer's ma
chine turned partly over near the
Lutheran Church.
Mr.. Settelmeyer was at the wheel
and was accompanied by his wife
and children and Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Rosenbrock and children. They had
attended the Mission Festival and
when making a sharp turn on to the
county road from Hussman's Grove.
Mr.. Settelmeyer misjudged the
short turn and the car went over
the road and started down the en-
bankment. When it tipped over
it lodged against a telephone post
which prevented the car from turn
ing completely over, thus prevent
ing injury to those in the machine.
The top was badly smashed and
the car was slightly damaged.

Bounty For
ArteSidn Wells

There is law on the statutes of
this state which provides for boun-
ty to any person who secures artes-
ian water. 1t has been overlooked
and there are probably those who
do not know of its existence. The
law was approved in 1901 and pro-
vides that bounty of 81 900 be paid
for the first well to produce five
barrels of crude petroleum; 81 900
for the first well to produce LOGO
feet of natural gas; and $1,000 for
the first with diameter of not less
than six inches that brings flow of
not ldss than sixty gallons of artes-
ian water per minute. 1t is under
stood that parties who have bored a

the reward as they have well that

The Land of
Alfalfa and
Big Potatoes

The San Francisco Post would
suggest that movement be started
to refrain in future from referring
to Nevada as the "sagebrush ate"
Anyone, here or elsewhere, who
knows sagebrush, knows that it
does not amount to much, and we
have yet to hear of anyone who is
making money out of sagebrush, or
expects to. If Nevada expects to
secure homeseekers and a large
population, the name "sagebrusa
state" should be omitted when
speaking of the state. The title is
not only misleading but is harmful.

: preston on the outside. Just as
Kansas, the cyclone state" throws
a scare into many persons who
would make their home there il
they were sure that they would not
be blown into the next state every
few weeks.
With its great production Of gold
silver and other precious metals, to
say nothing of its enormous wool,
wheat and hay crops it would seem
that title somewhat more appropri-
ate of the states industries might
be selected and mentioned than con-
tinually bringing up that which is
more of curse than blessing.
Let US call it the land of alfalfa
and big potatoes.

Case
BEING Heard

The case of the State of Nevada
against Fritz Elges on the charge of
malicious mischief came up for trial
in the District Court at Genoa
Wednesday. Nearly all of that day
was spent in securing a jury.
The testimony was all in yester-
day afternoon and court took a
recess until p. m.
This case was twice tried in the
East Fork Justice Court. At the
first trial the jury disagreed and at
the second trial the jury found the
defendant guilty as charged. The
case was then appealed to the higher
court.

Session Of Court
Makes Genoa
A Busy Town

Wednesday Genoa budded forth
as the most lively town in the
county, caused by the important
session of the district court being
held there this week and presided
over by Judge N. P. Langan.
A touch of old time life was IN
evidence and the oldest town in Me-
vada was like the days of yore.
Lawyers, witnesses and jurors were
on hand and the throng pretty well
filled up the town. 1t was noticeable
that the automobile has put old
Dobbin on the shelf as dozens of
machines were parked on the main
street of the town.
Farmers were grouped on the
street and crops and conditions were
discussed from all angles.

The Mission
Festival Was
a Success

The Mission Festival held in
Hussman's grove was a decided
success. In the morning services
Rev. E. Nachtscheim of Minneapolis.
IN a forceful manner encouraged
his hearers to be ever active in
missionary work. After the sermon
Prof. Theo. Brohm, director of the
Lutheran Concordia College of East
Oakland, spoke concerning the
college. He complemented The
congregation on account of the sup
port it had given the institution,
financially and as far as the sending
OF scholars was concerned. He re-
quested the congregation to show
similar interest in the future.
In the afternoon Rev. Menzel
addressed the assemblage and was
followed by Rev. Nachtscheim, who
added some very appropriate and
well received remarks.
The collections taken up netted
the sum of $4,000 for the mission
fund of the California and Nevada
District of the Lutheran Church.

There is on display at the Hotel
Rahbeck two gigantic cucumbers
raised on the farm of Richard
Tholke, which bespeaks of the
productivness of Carson Valley
soil. If the prize products of the
farms of Carson Valley were
assembled together and placed on
display at the State Fair to be held
this month at Reno, the people of
Nevada would be given an oppor-
tunity of realizing what a wonder

The charge of manslaughter was
agreed to by District attorney
Brockliss and d. w. Virgin, attor-
ney for the defendant.
On the night of July 10th of this
year Jim Jack attacked Benny Pitts
with knife, SO it is alleged. Pitts
secured the knife from Jack and
hacked him to death in most
brutal and fiendish manner.
The murder followed night of
drunken debouchery among six or
eight Indians. Whiskey, no doubt,
was the direct cause of the murder.
