Big REWARD OFFERED FOR
WINnEMUCCA CAIaAMAN

The news has reached the Chinese
colony in Winnemucca that a re-
ward Of $4,000 has been offered
by the Chinese government for the
capture Of Joe Chockman, formerly
of Winnemucca. Cbockman was in
the restaurant business and inter-
ested in two or three other enter
prises in Widnemucca during his
residence here. He is a cousin Of
Sing Lee, the merchant Of this
place. He was very active while
in thin country ia spreading the
propaganda of the Chinese revolu-
tion and was a recognized power in
the American branch of the New
Chinese party. He was a great
friend of DR.. Sun Yet Sen. Chock-
man had some large schemes for
the development Of latent resources
in China when the revolutionary
party should have gained control.
He had plans for building railroads
electric>1ines and developing great
water power. He left Winnemucca
and went to China shout. three.
years ago, and was one Of the,
valued aides Of DR.. Sun Yet Sen.
His party not having a;sined the
ends which Q short TIME ago seem.
ed probable, Chockman is still
working for his ideals and against
the existing po Hers In China and
SO formidable hes he become that
the big reward has been offered
for his capture.
His friends in Winnemucca say
with confidence that the govern.
ment cannot catch him. He has
too many in sympathy with him
for that Humbcldt Star.

is It DOUBLE BARRtLLeO

The decision of the supreme
court in the action brought to pre-
vent the Withdrawal of Gott and
Mckay from the republican ticket
as candidates for the nomination
for attorney general at the primary
election seems to be doubled bar
relied. The court permits the
withdrawal OF Colt, but holds Nc
Kay on the ticket.
The court must have good rea-
SONS, that does not appear in the
Appeals report found elsewhere for
permitting Colt to withdraw and
denying the same right to Mckay.
Without the reasoning of the
couat, the decision seems to be on
both.sides Of the question, and in
common bariaaee-double- barrelled.
The court also holds Springmeyes
on the ticket al a progressive and
knocks him off the republican
ticket. In other. words George is
held to his first love and prohibit
ed from flirting in the republican
camp.
The decision also holds that a
oond;dofa oanao -Skhl,. 49, e.
he has paid for fling his nomina-
ton papers, if he afterwards with
draws. Until a copy of the decis-
ion is received it will be impossible
TO state the status of Allen Nc
Bride as a candidate for the as
sembly, the reasoning of the court
may hold that he is still a candi-
date for state senator and it may
not.

The announcement of Sam Platt
- : republicans candidate for
United States senator appears in
this issue.
Nh. Plat is a native Of Nevada
and one Of its foremost citizens.
He is an able lawyer. Z clean citi-
zen and an ardent republican. AL
though we expect to oppose him
with all our energy during the
campaign. We cheerfully testify to
his ability and worth as q citizen
OF the state. AS a citizen he is en-
titled to the hearty respect Of all,
but as a republican candidate for
United States senator he should
and will receive the determined
opposition Of all who believe in the
principles and policies of the pres
ent administration. With Mr.. Platt
as a citizen We have no quarrekbut
with5him as the republican candi-
date for United States Senator we
are at war. The principles he ad-
yocates and the policies he would
assist in forcing on the administra-
ton, if elected. are in our iudg-
ment, detrimental to the best in
terests of the great mass of the
American people. That is sufficient
reason for the opposition of this
