ORDERED EXTENDED

County Treasurer Miller has re-
eeived an order from the State Tax
commission extending the time for
taxes to become delinquent from De.
cember 7th to December 21st.
Considerable delay in extending the
tax roll has been occasioned by the
action of the Tax commission in in
creasing the valuations and lowering
the county rate, but Auditor Great
house and his deputies are doing their
utmost to expedite the work, and It is
probable that it will be completed be-
fore the 18th. "Hs
The county commissioners are in
session this afternoon and will make
an order lowering the county tax rate
In conformity to the recent order of

MAY SLAUGHTER,
;RUSTLER, RETURNED
TO WHINE MUCCA

May Slaughter, wanted for cattle
rustlng and Jail breaking at Winnie
mucca, left the Reno city Jail yester-
day morning alone except for the off.
Ger who had her in charge, Under
Sheriff C. w. Muller of Humboldt
county.
Eftie Walters, the 5-year-old daugh-
ter of George Walters of Susanville,
was taken from Mrs. Slaughter to be
placed in the Crittenden Home until
place for her at Winnemucca can he
found.
Cries for "Aunt May"
Perched on the knee of a burly DO
liceman, hugging a broken dolls head,
two small pieces of money and a bot
tie with bicycle bell attached, the
little girl cried bitterly as Aunt May
said goodbye. Visions were held out
to her of the little girls and boys she
would have for playmates, but her
tears only flowed faster. After her fos-
ter mother had gone, she frightened
up and told how good Aunt May" had
been to her.
If you had only given me another
day." Mrs. Slaughter told Under
Sheriff Muller, Il would have been out
there without your coming for me-"
Muller laughed incredulously and
Chief of Police Hillhouse suggested:
But this way you won't have to pay
your fare the other side of Hazen."
That's so, too," Mrs. Slaughter re-
piled, reconciled to the situation.
She asked that arrangements be
made at Hazen to recheck her baggage
and that a message be sent to ]. nj.
Frame, her attorney, to remain in
Winnemucca until she might arrive.
Charge Still Pending.
Muller said that the information for
cattle rustling filed against Mrs.
Slaughter was still pending, but that
the jail breaking charge was probably
the one on which trial would be ask
ed. Of the trio charged with cattle
rus stling, Mrs. Slaughter was the only
one to plead not guilty She was
placed under $4,000 bonds and re-
manded to the custody of Sheriff
Lamb. Muller says that she told the
justice of the peace her true name
was May Green. .. ....--....-.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE ,.r,tre
TORPEDO PATENTED

John Hays Hammond, Jr radio ex-
pert and inventor, has just taken out
over 100 patents on wireless torpedo
which is pronounced by military men
to be a radical development in military
engines. The wireless torpedo travels
at 23 knot speed, cares 1000 pounds
of explosives against the 300-pound
capacity OF the present torpedo, and
responds automatically to radio or
searchlight waves which may be di-
rected against it by an enemy, so that
instead of being protected by It's lights

literally becomes magnet for the

Details Of The Recent
Fire In Clover Valley
Act Of Rancher In Burning Sagebrush
Causes Great Loss OF Property
In That Settlement
From the Wells Herald.

From the Wells Herald. = -a
Last Friday large portion of the
area of Glover valley was devastated
by fire, and loss aggregating not
less than $4,000 or $4,000 occurred.
Word first came here by telephone
that fire had broken out on the
ranch of Isaac Wiseman 80 and that
there was great danger of the flames
sweeping over the entire valley. A
very heavy wind, in fact a gale, was
blowing, and great clouds of smoke
rising over the hills to the south of
Wells was notification that the fire
was very serious. Shortly after the
inst alarm was gwen here call for
help came from the valley and several
automobiles we'll loaded with volun-
teers sped to the scene to lend their
aid in fighting the fire sweeping with
the speed of lracehorse over the
meadows in the lower part of the val
ley.
The residents of Glover were nearly
all on the fire-line fighting like de-
mons in their attempt to cope with
the fire so speedily eating up their
hay stacks and pasturage fields. With
the coming of the volunteers they re-
doubled their efforts, but it was only
by the dint of heroic effort and mex
haustible energy, aided by almost SUI
perhuman endeavor, that the fire was
finally brought under control late in
the afternoon, after five or six sec
tions of fine pasture had been ruined
and some 1000 tons of hay, stacked in
some fifty yards, had been consumed.
The fire started on the ranch of
Isaac Wiseman, who, the previous day,
when 1t was calm, had started fire
to burn some brush. The entire coun-
try was very dry and this fire had not
become entirely extinguisheG when
the heavy wind Of Friday arose, fan

ming the dormant embers into flame
which soon communicated with the
dry grass. and before it was noticed
the fire swept onward, aided in its
greed blythe gale.-The- loss may not
fall below thirty and may reach thir-
ty-fve thousand dollars. Aside from
the hay that was burned and the ruin,
alton the pasturage feed, all the
fences in the path of the fire were
consumed and many of the cattle In
the fields were scorched, some so bao-
ly that one or two Of the animals
nave sine died. The flames were only
controlled by method of back-firing
and whipping the fire. with blankets.
All the cabins, corrals and other struc-
turs in the field belonging to the Ok
Yoke company were burned and only
through the fact that the direction of
he wind was favorable was the pre-
icrvation OF many of the beautiful
md costly homes of the valley accom-
plished
Those who lost by the fire were: l.
F. Wiseman, Jas. Ralph who had pur-
chased hay at Wiseman's ranch and
1T e. c. Woods; William Johnson,
Chase G. Moore. E. C. Wood, Steele
Brothers, w. B. Gibbs. I. A. Agee, S.
c. Weeks, S. T. Weeks and the Ok
ioke company. To all of these the
loss falls heavily; the hay that was
depended on to carry their stock
throubh possible hard winter having
been almost entirely burned. They
have driven their cattle to the hills,
where they will be kept awaiting de-
velopments as to weather conditions.
Should the winter prove severe one,
it will be necessary for them all to
ship in hay in order to carry their
cattle through until the arrival of
