GRAND OPENING
A SOCIAL SUCCESS

The town turned out en- masse to
assist in the opening of the new lodge
headauarters last Saturday night.
The doors were thrown open at about
$50 O'Clock and for the next two
hours an almost steady stream of
ladies and gentlemen poured into the
building, until the rooms on the lower
floor were taxed to their utmost
capacity.
CHESTS entered through the spacious

and at the end were received by Mr..
nd Mrs. NJ. Reinhart, the Misses Edna

during the evening the time was

served in the dining room, under
direction of w. J. Bradley, of 1.-The
Bud
A committee composed of Judge J.
A. Langwith, l.. G. Campbell, II. W.
Duncan and A. l.. Bracket selected
the name Winneva" as the name of
the new hall. There was a list of
forty-nine names handed in at the
contest for the most appropriate
name. Mr.. L. Leary, the yradmaster
for the Western Pacific, submitted the
name Winneva" and was declared
the winner of the prize offered by Mr.
Reinhart. Winnevar hall was Sc
lected as the most appropriate name
by the committee owing to the fact
that portions of the name are taken
from Winnemucea and Nevada, the
syllables of the two words as placed
forming the word "Winneva.
Winneva hall will prove a decided
stimulus to the social life of Winnie

NOTORIOUS WOMAN DIGS
WAY OUT OF COUNTY JAIL

Some time during Sunday night
May Slaughter made her escape from
the county Jail She went out through
"a hole in the brick wall. about 12xls
inches in dimensions, and to make it
appear that she did the job alone she
tore her blanket into strips, making
rope, one end of which she attach
ed to a sewer pipe on the inside. It
is believed. however, that the whole
job was done from the outside, as it
would have been practically a physi
cal impossibility for a person to
squeeze through a hole of that size
without help.
A month or so ago the Slaughter
woman was arrested with w. l.. Davis
and Moses Strieklund, at Inlay,
charged with stealing beeve from
the Organ ranch. The two men plead
guilty to the charge, and on April 20
were sentenced to the penitentiary,
Davis receiving from three to seven
years and Strickland from two to five
years. Being unable to give bonds
May Slaughter was remanded to the
county Jail On account of her sex
she was allowed the freedom of the
corridor and was never locked up.
1t seems to be the general impress
sion that if she will now only stay out
of the county and state that it will
be good riddance.
May Slaughter first gained county
wide notoriety in the summer of
1908. a which time she and her re-
puted husband, Ed Slaughter. were
conducting laundry" at Tiptop, a
mining camp in the southern part of
the county. On June II a miner and
rounder named 'Tex' Cockrell shot
and killed NJ f. Jaeoby in the
woman s bedroom. At the preliminary
examination held before Judge Robins
few days later the Slaughter woman
was the principal witness. and on her
testimony Cockrell was turned loose.
She next appeared in the spotlight
al the time the Outlets were murder
ed at INLAY three or four years ago.
At that time she was conducting a
saloon directly opposite the one run
bv the murdered couple. The young
brother of the murdered woman has
ALWAYS maintained that there were
three men in the house that night, but
only two could ever be accounted
for. and il is believed by many that
Nav Slaughter was the third man,
dressed in men S clothing.
