REBUILT W!NNEvA HALL
WILL CONTAIN OFFICE SUITES

Upon his return the first of the week
from San Francisco, NJ. Reinhart, pres
ident of the Winnemueea State Bank
& Turst company, approved the plans
for the rebuilding of Winneva hall,
submitted by Duval & Sons, the archi-
teets.
The walls of the building have been
taken down to the first floor and will
he rebuilt full two stories high for the
entire width of the building, with a
handsome front of pressed brick and
glass. The entrance to the lodge room
will be from the street, which will
make it much more accessible. Over
the banquet hall there will be two
suites of offices, of two rooms each,
which have already been leased for a
term Of years.
1t will be three or four weeks before
meetings can be held in the lodge
room, but in the meantime, if meetings
of any or all of the orders are eonsid-
cred necessary, they may be held in
the directors room of the Winemucea
State Bank & Trust company.
Speaking Of the earthquake and the
damage it caused to Winnemucea
buildings, Mr.. Reinhart said "While
tht earthquake seems to have damaged
Winneva hall more seriously than any
other building in Winnemucea, we con-
slider it fortunate that there was no
loss of life.

FIRE DEvAsTATEs
TOWN OF DEETH


The most destructive fire in the his
tory of Deeth, if not in the entire
county, occurred in the early hours of
this morning. says the Elko Independ-
ent. About $3.50 O'Clock fire was dis
covered in the two-story hotel on the
main street south of the railroad track,
and alarm was given. In few minutes
practically all the people of the town
were gathered on the scene, but there
was no means of fighting the flames
except with buckets, and famed by a
hugh wind thew were soon beyond con
troll. 1t was soon seen that the hotel
was doomed and effort was directed to
the adjoining buildings, but the heat
was so intense that the fire fighters
were soon driven away, and they were
obliged to stand helplessly in the
streets and watch the flames lick lp
building after building until the end
of the block was reached. Burning Shin
gles and debris were carried hundrers
of yards by the wind and it was only
through greatest efforts that buildings
N other parts of the town were saved
from destruction.
From the hotel the fire was soon
communicated to the postoffiee and
Mrs. NieelY's store on the west and the
dwelling house on the east. 1t then
81 read to the restaurant and saloon of
Vim. Truett, and all of these buildings
were e>eompletelv DESTROYED.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is believed to have started from
s defective fine or from a earelessly
dropped match.
The loss is varicusly estimated from
$4,000 TO 100000
j. II. Clancy arrived from Deeth this
afternoon and he reports that the above
account is correct aside from the fact
that there was but slight wind if any
at all.
Mr.. Clancy was in the second story
OF the hotel when the fire started. He
has been sick for about two weeks and
is in a verv weak condition. He saws
that the whole lower floor was a mass
of flames when he was awakened and
that he had to jump from second
story window. Owing to his weakened
condition and the jar of his jump he IS
in a rather serious condition, and ne
came to Elko for medical treatment.

RABID COW KILLED
NEAR DIVIDE CAMP

Stories brought in by some of the
ilrymen prove that the rabies is rag
ing worse in the northern part of the
county than has been supposed down
here, says the Elko Free Press
The latest of the stories is about a
rabid COW which was discovered by a
miner who was returning from his work
near Divide. He was walking home at
the end of his days work when he was
attacked by cow which was undoubt-
edly rabid; she came after him fnri-
ously, with her jaws covered with foam
and her eyes bulging out, and her nos
trils wildly distended, and the man de-
cided that discretion would be the bet
ter part of valor, so he Immediately
fed.
But his flight was in vain. There was
no chance TO escape, and so he stopped
ON a small mound of earth, raised his
miners pick and struck the cow in the
center of the forehead between the
horns At this the rabid animal stag
gered and fell upon its knees, but be-
fore he could repeat the blow, the COW
rose and ran wildly towards a shelter
lot far off
There were those in the settlement
who doubted the miner s story, despite
the blood upon his pick, and they Went
cut to the scene of the fight. Not far
from the place where the encounter
had occurred, they found the body of
the dead animal with pick hole in
its forehead. There is no doubt that
the animal was rabid, for ordinary
cows, even on the open range, do not
Isk their lives to attack humans.
Lasi week there was a story of a
rabid coyote breaking through a hole
in tent near Gold Circle and biting a
man who was asleep in the tent there.
There were persons in this community
who read this story and who We're kind
enough to say that il was a fish story
and that about half of what was print
cd about rabies is manufactured. Well.
| q that as il may, there are members
of the jury who were there shortly
after the man was bitten by the coy
ote and saw the animal after ii had
been shot The animal forced its way
into bunk tent where some men We're
sleeping. It began to claw at the cots
and one man raised up in bed. The
coyote grabbed the man on the mouth,
iIflieting several uglv wounds. but the
man finally shook him off and dived
down under the covers.
Another sleeper was aroused by the
noise, and reached under the bed and
raised up to shoot the coyote. The ami
nal, angry al the intrusion of the third
party, started at him and attempted to
bit him, but the man rammed the pisol
down the coyotes throat. The pistol,
however, refused TO explode and the
animal dashed out the same hole lie
had made Another man, alarmed bv
the noise, came up and shot the animal.
The man who had been bitten was cent
to Reno for treatment
