perintendent of the Wingield stables

Silver Service Of
Nevada BattloShip

The silver service for the battle
ship Nevada has been completed and
in the near future will be delivered
in Carson and be placed on exhibition,
and it will then be taken to many
other cities and towns in the State
for the same purpose.
The Legislature appropriated $5,-
900 for the manufacture of the SER
vice, believing that amount would
be sufficient. The bill to the Goram
Silver Company, however. will ex-
coed that amount by $1,000, so it
will be necessary at the next session
of the Legislature to appropriate
5000.
Wells Fargo & Company has vol
unteered to transport the service to
the different points in the State free
of charge, and it is expected that it
will soon be starting on the journey.

Discovered New Food
In German Trenches

A new food, discovered by a Ger
man soldier in the trenches, may
prove a powerful ally against famine.
1t is a new microbe which changes
sugar to fat and thus produces a
substance of high nutritive value
which is readily assimilated. The
organism supplements the work of
another used in Transforming sugar
into albumen.
By these two agents the abundant
crop of sugar beets now in Germany
can readily be transformed into vast
quantities of new foods to supple
ment the dwindling stores of cereals
and vegetables. The Institute for
Fermentation in Berlin has already
established a small experimental fac
tory and arrangements are being
made for turning out the new pro-
duct on a large scale.

Valuable Stallion Killed

Last week a valuable stallion be-
longing to S. johnson of Redhouse
showed symptoms of rabies and was
shot by its owner The animal is said
to have received a wound on the leg
some time before and since that
time the horse became loco" and

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Naughty Carson

IVou&Hty CoTsoH
Elko Free Press: What's the mat
ter with the Carson juries? A man
by the name of McGregor was on
trial in the United States Federal
Court for selling liquor to an Indian.
United States Marshal A. B. Gray
was principal witness. and he testified
that he had seer two Indians served
with liquor. The Indians denied it.
And the jury took the red mems
word. And all that happened at
Carson, the capital of the State of
Nevada, the stronghold of the State
democracy. the gathering place of
the clans; the town where the Office
holder is held supreme.

McGrsgOr Acquitted

Virginia Enterprise: In the Unit
ed States Court at Carson Friday w
l.. McGregor was acquitted of the
charge of selling liquor to Indians.
He conducts a road house at Black
burn Station in Eurka County. and
United States Marshal Gray was
the chief witness for the prosecution,
testifying that he had seen two In
dians served with liquor. Witnesses
for the defense were introduced who
stated the Indians had not been
served with the whiskey. Evidently
the testimony of Government officials
does not carry much weight with
juries.
Impossible to Secure Conviction
Carson Appeal: w. L. McGregor
of Eureka County, charged with sell
ling liquor to the Indians, was acquit-
ted of the offense in the Federal
Court last night after four hours de-
liberation by the jury. There is
st ill another indictment against
McGregor, but it will not be tried at
present. and this morning United
States District Attorney Woodburn
asked the court that the witnesses be
discharged for the time being.
In his statement to the court Mr..
WOODBURY. said that with jurors in
their present mood no conviction
could be had of a defendant charged
with furnishing or selling liquor to
the Indians, no matter what the evil
dence.
