ing of Mrs. Eloise Nelfns Dennis
and Miss Beatrice Nelms, dead or
alive. has been offered by Mrs John
w. Nelms, wealthy mother OF the
missing women, who disappeared
while on trip to Texas.
The belief has grown that the
death message received by Mrs.

with Mrs. Dennis name and indicat-
ed that she had killed her sister in
New Orleans. was preparing to kill
her brother, Marshall Nelms, in San
Francisco, and would then commit
suicide. The letter was typewrittea

next number was a reading by Miss
Margaret Raycraft. A vocal trio by
Mrs. Leavitt, Miss Venie Roberts
and Miss Muller, accompanied on
the piano by Mrs. Joe Muller, was a
treat, as was evidenced by their be-
ing recalled for another song. Fol-
lowing were stirring addresses on
Columbianism by Justice p. A. Nc
Garran and State Deputy Leonard
h. Fowler. and concluding with a
vocal solo by Mrs. George Brodi-
gan and an instrumental duet by
Mrs. Brulin and Mrs Furlong.
An excellent repast was then serv-
de in the banquet hall by the local
Knights. assisted by the ladies OF
the Catho'ic parish, after which the
guests whited away the remaining
hours dancing. Regret was express
ed by the guests at the unavoidable

Lem Allen Files
Nomination Papers

Hon. Lemuel Allen, who is can
didate for nomination on the Dem
ocratic ticket for governor at the
approaching primaries, was an ar
rival from Reno this morning His
visit at this time was to file his nec-
essary papers with the secretary of
state.
Since Mr.. Allen announced his can
didacy he has visited many towns
in the western and southern part Of
the state and wherever he has gone
has received the greatest encourage
ment for his aspirations.
1t is over ifty-two years since Mr..
Allen came to Nevada, settling in
Churchill county on the ranch prop
erty he holds to this day. He has
amassed a comfortable fortune, but
it has been acquired only by hard
work and incessant toll. He has
found time, however, to take an &C
tive and leading part in politics and
in ten Legislative assemblies has
consistently and faithfully represent
ed the people of his county. In 1902
he was the running mate of the late
Governor Sparks and for four years
held down the position of lieutenant
governor and president OF the state
| senate. These duties he performed
with honor, and promises that if
| nominated and elected governor he
will give that office the same atten-
ton that marked his administration
of the others.
With his wife, who has been his
helpmate for nearly ifty-fve years,
| Mr.. Allen now lives in comfortable
home in Reno. Six children, three
boys and three girls, besides three
who passed away in their youth, bless
their union. There are also some
grandchildren, and two of them are
this year preparing to cast their
vote for Grandpa Allen

Big Colony Settling
In FiShlake Valley

William Kearney, state engineer
has returned from a several weeks
visit to the southern sections of the
state on official business connected
with his office, several days of which
were spent in the Muddy River sec
ton, taking testimony relative to
conflicting water rights,
After leaving the Muddy M
kearney proceeded 20 the Fishlake
section and states that the acreage
in that vicinity is rapidly being TAX
EN- up by homesteaders; in fact, quite
rush is on for all the available
lands. While at Patterson's ranch
near Oasis he learned that colony
OF German-Americans from Sacra-
mento had filed on practically every
acre of open land on the California
side of the valley, and as evidence
that the locators mean to develop
water and irrigate the land, they
have arranged with the Nevada Cali
fornia Power company to string a
line to their holdings for power 70
be used in pumping water, which has
been found in quantities near the
surface.
The same rush would be on for all
unoccupied acreage on the Nevada
side by boni hda settlers, said Mr..
kealney, were it not for the fact that
$4,000 acres for the time being are
tied up under the Carey act
Mr.. kearney's visit to Fishlake
was for the purpose of ascertaining
the facts relative to applications for
the surplus waters from the creek al
Patterson's lower ranch, which has
been applied for by prominent peo-
pie of Tonopah, who have taken up
land and claim that there is a sur
plus of water over and above that
used by the Pattersons TO irrigate
the acreage they have recently taken
up below the Oasis property. The
matter is in abeyance at present,
awaiting proper survey which is
now being made under the direction
Of the Tonopah claimants. Testi-
mony relative to the case was taken

Commencing with Monday night the
Players All-Star Company will pre-
s6nt Eugene Walters play Fine
Feathers" This play is noted for an
all-star cast that toured the United
States and was one OF the big events
of the theatrical year. 1t is one of
the so-called punch" plays, and is full
of situations and surprises. The play
is one in which the basic theme is the
influence Of love and of fine clothes
and the pleasure things of life will
have in creating a woman's perspec-
tive and how the same influence may be
used by her in divertiDg her husband
to the cold, questionable methods OF
money-getting as opposed to the re-
tention of high self-respeet and fine
sense of humor. Good acting is called
for and an atmosphere that will subtly
win sympathy for some of the char
acters. George Webb will play Rob
.ert Blossoms role of Bob Reynolds and
Florence Oakley will have the oppo-
site part of the wife. This part will
give Miss Oakley an excellent oppor-
tunity to show her ability and dis

TWO MAIN BOUTS ARE
AROUSING Interest

Most of the interest in the
bouts on the Moose smoker, to
take place tomorrow night, is GEN.
tering on the McLarney-Fox go,
or the semi-windup between Paul
Steele and Billy Williams.
The bout between Soldier Nc
Larney and Sailor Fox Is expected
to be pippin from the very first
minute. Each man is dead anx-
ious to win, as the rivalry be-
tween the landsmen and seadogs
Is very intense. Fox Is a stolid
sort of boxer, hard to rattle, and
possessed of a great wallop, while
McLarney is quick as lightning
and has something of a punch
himself.
Both Paul Steele and Billy
Williams are clever. scientific
men, acquainted with the finer
points of the game and should put

McGraw and he has acquired
some of McGraw's best stuff"
Cutshaw, BrOoklyn's second
baseman, one of the cleverest and
fastest of the younger generation,
has some ideas as to how base
ball is to be played. In his first
saeson at Brooklyn he started just
eighteen double plays during the
entire year. Last year he lead
the National league i'm a number
of double plays In which he fig
ured, and he started 10 more than
did Evers, his closest competitor.
1 asked Cutshaw about it.
81 look at 1t this way" he said.
Baseball is more a matter of
hard, steady work and much
thought than 1t is of any special
ability. Any young man of aver
age speed and strength can be-
come a good ball player If he is
willing to give enough thought
and time to it and work hard.
"A fellow in baseball ought to
study his business just as any
successful business man tudies
his. That is what counts
