The boys basket ball team of the
Elko High School are hard down to
real practice now and every after
noon they take hard workout under
the supervision of Coach Ross. An
excellent bunch of material is on hand

it will probably take place on about

a strong team this year and the Elko-

beat these boys. from Humboldt The
Winnemucca team plays the Lovelock

their county and the outcome of this
game will be watched for with in
terest by the local boys in order that

WAS M|SREPRESENTED
SAYS WELLS HERALD

The Wells correspondent of the
Reno Gazette, in reciting the events
Of the Republican meeting of last
Friday night, goes little strong. If
you don't think so, just pay strict
attention to the following excerpt ta-
ken from te> account of the meeting.
"The mention Of the name OF
Same Platt, candidate for United
States senator created great
enthusiasm"
And, now, what dou you think OF
that If all other accounts being
published in the Gazette regarding
the Republican meetings and the Platt
meetings in the various parts OF the
state are as truthful, then the candi-
dates on the. 6. o. p ticket must be
meeting with chilly receptions all
along the line. Judge Curler was talk
ing at the time above referred to. He
gave quite lengthy send off of Platt
and at the first mention Of his name,
the chairman of the meeting; think
Ing the time ripe, began clapping his
hands in endeavor to create applause.
Two or three other admirers in the
audience made feeble applause The
whole outburst of the few individuals
did not last over fifteen seconds. II
the name Of Platt is greeted with the
same enthusiasm elswhere in the
state. then 1t is easy to foretell the
outcome of the campaign. 1t was
noticeable that after the faint recep-
ton accorded the name Of the Repub-
lican candidate for United States
senator that Judge Curler did not
have the heart to make more allusion
to him.--Wells Herald.

SERIES OF SERMONS
At BAPTIST BHURCH

AT the last services at the Baptist
Church in this city, Pastor McHar-
ness introduced a new form of ser
mons for his congregation and will
start series of sermons on that plan.
He asked all the congregation to
write on a slip of paper and send it
to him unsigned the greatest mistake
they had ever made in their life. A
number of these were handed in and
starting tomorrow night, Mr.. McHar-
ness will start sermons on these mis-
takes, taking each one as a sermon.
These sermons should prove to be
interesting and seem to be good plan
to lend local color to the services at
the Baptist Church.

SHOES FOR ALL THE FAMILY AT
LESS PRICES AT RENECKY'S.
TO REMOVE OLD HULK.

What has been an eyesore to the
people of Algiers for several years is
shortly to be removed from the river
by the Johnson Iron Works. We have
reference to the old hulk which is al
ways exposed at the batture at the
head of Bermuda street, and more es-
pecially is this conspicuous during the
present low stage of the river. On
several occasions attempts have been
made to have the United States gov
eminent move this, but after having
taken it under consideration they
came to the conclusion that as it was
not a menace to navigation, they could
not take any steps for its destruction.
Appeals were also made to others, but
without any results. Since the John
son Iron Works have removed their
entire plant to this side of the river
and are now the owners of this most
valuable piece of batture property
they will destroy the old hulk within
short time. This will be done by
the use of small charges of dynamite
taking off pieces at a time so that il
may be taken out in the deep river
where it will not menace navigation
Other interesting objects at this bat
ture point at the present to be seer
are the old boilers and part of the cor
roded machines of the old ferry boa
Ollie. The present extreme low stage
of the river uncovered this for thu
first time since she was sunk.

FATAL HUNTING TRIP

Samuel \. Zwicke, tWenty-four years
old. was the victim of hunting acct
dent at Belle Chasse, Plaquemines par
ish, Sunday. Most OF the leaden pei
lets that sped from the gun fired by
Fred Dubret. aged seventeen years,
lodged in Zwickie's face, chest and
hands. penetrating vital organs Of the
body and causing death within an hour.
Dubret and ZwiCkie We're members
.of the same hunting party. With
three others. John Seaward, thirty
three years old, of G20 Pacific avenue;
Andrew Lands, thirty years old, Of N26
Verret street, and William Dubret.
Itwenty-four years Old, a brother of
IZwickie's slayer of 929 Opelousas ave
nue., the two young men left at 4:@0
lo'Clock Sunday morning in a gasoline
boat, the trip being made through the
Outfall canal and Bayou Barataria, the
object being a rabbit hunt in the IA
Ivored fields of the Barataria section.
During the noon hour, according to
panions of Zwickie to the police. the
unfortunate young hunter became dis
Icouraged at his failure to kill any
Thing. Turning to Fred Dubret. he
said: Here, Freddie, take my gun.
| You can shoot better than l." He then
went away, saying he would chase the
rabbits towards his companions so they
could kill them.
Ten minutes later Fred Dubret saw
rabbit on a hill, and aiming the shot
gun, fired. Leaving the ditch in which
he had taken his position to shoot, Du-
bret went to see if he had killed the
rabbit, but he found, instead. Zwickie,
wounded. He heard his friend call his
name and, going to him, saw that the
double charge of shot had struck
Zwickie in the face and body.
Calling TO the other members of the
party, Dubret gave all the assistance
possible to his friend, and then, with
the others, carried the wounded hunt
err TO the boat TO convey him to AL
giers and a doctor as quickly as posi-
BILE. Zwickie died on the way, and
when the boat reached the head of the
loutfall canal at o'clock word was
sent to the police who, in turn, notified
the coroner.
Dubret surrendered to the police
upon their appearance at the boat
landing, and was charged in the
Eighth Precinct Station with being
wanted in Plaquemines parish for MUIR
lder. Some time later he was paroled
