SAYS SHE SHOT At SHERIFF
FOR MAKING LOVE TO HER
Girl Hobo with Vivid Imagination
Turns the Laugh on Popular
Nevada Officer.

A few days ago there appeared in
the San Francisco Examiner an ar
tic.e that purported to give the ex-
periences of a girl hobo who was
making her way alone an unattend-
ed across the wilds of Nevada by
the Foot & Walker and side door
Pullman route. Being interviewed
on her arrival in Chicago she re-
counted some thrilling experiences.
She travelled under the name of Har-
ritt Madison and IL the accompany
ing illustration is a true likeness, IL
is difficult to understand how a
maiden possessed with such an ex-
cess of pulchritude ever managed to
eiude the discerning eyes of this
bachelor infested region. SO much
human perfection is rarely seen out
sic OF the Autographs ON q brewery
calendar.
To hear Miss Madison tell 1t, how
ever, her fatal beauty did attract
the attention Of Sheriff Harris Of FL
ko, who she says tried to make love
to her and to escape his amorous
embraces she was forced TO shoot
him in the pants-or at least in the
leg.
The Elko Independent shatters the
thrilling tale by stating that sheriff
Harris gave the girl the shelter oil
his home for few days about two
weeks ago after she had landed In
Elko in company with a bunch of ho.
hos. He held her for three days and
released her. She made her way east
and was arrested in Chicago while
masquerading in male attire. The
Elko paper gives Sheriff Harris q
clean bill of health and exonerates
him from the charge of having
strayed from the paths of rectitude
1t says:
An Independent representative
closely examined the person Of Sher.
If Harris today and despite the as
sertions of the young lady no bullet
holes were located. We hold this
as prima facia evidence that tho
young lady is romancing. Either
this or her craftsmanship was poor
which she would not admit.
Sheriff Harris friends are having
much fun at his expense today. fol
he is a good natured individual and
enjoys a joke. even though the
laugh is on him, but the whole com.
munity realizes that the statements
mada by the young woman are moth
ing more nor less than the chatter
of brainless, romantic girl, and SO
the matter will have no more effect
than to cause hearty laugh at a
good natured mans expense.

HARNESS SHOP BURCLARIzED
SOMETIME FRIDAY NIGHT
Thieves Enter Benadum a WiIbur's
Saddlery and Make Way With
Valuable Articles.

The harness shop of Benadum &
Wilbur was robbed some time last
Friday night. The thief obtained
entrance by breaking the glass in
rear door and slipping back the
bolt, thus gaining easy access to the
interior. From tracks around the
premises it is believed that two men
were implicated in the job, one
keeping watch while the other ran
sacked the place. 1t was evidently
the work of someone who was fa-
miliar with the surroundings and
the stock, as a careful selection was
was made of the most valuable con-
tents of the shop.
So far as can be determined moth
ing was touched except a silver
mounted bride and breast strap,
with spurs to match, silver mount
ed braided hair hatband and watch
fob, all the work of George Wilbur
and valued at $3.50. Two sets Of
silver mounted spurs recently re-
ceived from c. S. Garcia, the Elko
saddler and which had been ordered
for local customer was also among
the missing articles.
Mr.. Wilbur feels the loss of his
handiwork keenly, aside from their
intrinsic value. They had more than
local fame as beautiful specimens
of the saddlers art. having been ex-
hibited in practically all the larger
towns of the State and attracted con-
siderable attention wherever exhibit
ed. The set was last used by Mrs.
Castleton who led the procession of
lady riders as an escort to the Gov
ernor during the recent pageant dur
ing Fair week.
The officers are working on n clue
that promises TO result in the appre-
hension of the men who did the job.
The suspects are under surveillance
and an arrest may be made at any
time.

FIRST annual BALL BY
THE VOLUNTEER FIRENEN
A Worthy Cause that Should Meet
With Generous Patronage From
the Citizens of FaIlon.

Great preparations are IN pro-
gress for the first annual ball of the
Fallon Volunteer Fire Department,
which takes place at the Pavilion a
week from next Saturday. November
18th.
Messrs Steinbrook, Reavis and
Kendrick are the committee having
the affair in charge and are over
looking nothing that will contribute
to the creature comforts of the pa
irons of the affair both in providing
eomestibles for the banquet and
music for the devotees of the light
fantastic.
Since the proceeds derived from
the sale of tickets is to be devoted
entirely to the equipment of the de-
partment it is matter in which
every citizen of Fallon should, and
no doubt will, take personal inter-
est. 1t will hardly be deemed suf-
ficient to purchase ticket, however,
as everyone should make it a point,
even to the extent of personal sac
rifice or discomfort to lend their
presence to the affair and thus make
of it a grand social as well as finan-
cial success.

CASH MARKET PROVIDED
FOR LOCAL TURKEY CROP
Farmers May Now Deliver Birds to
FallOn Merchants and Receive
Cash ON Delivery.

For the first time in the history
of the project home market has
been provided for all the turkeys
raised In Churchill county. Hereto
fore 1t has been the custom to de-
liver the birds to local dealers who
shipped them out and await the re-
turn of the money or for the farmer
to consign them to commission
houses on the Coast and take a
chance OF losing the shipment or TAX
ing whatever price the commission
merchant was pleased to remit to
them. While 1t was realized that
these marketing conditions were
bad, there seemed to be no way to
obyiate the difficulty of providing a
home cash market until recently
when the local merchants combined
and induced the largest packing
house on the coast to enter this field
and agree to take the entire output
OF turkeys from his valley ana pay
cash on delivery.
Under this plan all that wi be
necessary will be to consult your 10
cal merchant. who will accept all of
ferings and pay the marke. price in
cash as soon as the birds are weigh
ed in.
This promises TO be banner year

the experiment station, who has
made q study of this question for
the benefit OF the local farmers, has
estimated that at least six the ousand
turkeys will be placed on the mar.
ket In Fallon within the next thirty
days. II is said that the turkey crop
In California has been partial
failure which should result IN q
good demand at remunerative prices
on this Coast, provided the Missis.

the market with heavy consignments

Mental diseases at Reno, after being
duly examined and committed by a
lunacy board from Humboldt coun-
ty. Copeland was arrested several

was of unsound mind and the charge
against him was ignored by the

FLOUR MILL COMPANY FILES
| ARTICLES OF Incorporation
Prominent Business Men of Fallon
Comprise Board of Directors
In New Company.

Last week the articles Of ineor-
poration for the Fallen Flonr Mil
company were filed in the Office of
the Secretary Of State at Carson
City. The capital stock Is given at
s25, 900. divided into 500 shares at
$50 each Charles W. Renfro. Ern-
est S. Berney, John Oats, Judson
Jones and Richard J swope are
named as directors and incorpora-
tors.
This completes the first steps in
what will undoubtedly result in the
establishment of another industry to
convert the raw materials produced
in this valley into the finished pro-
duct ready for the market, besides
providing means whereby every
wheat and grain grower in the valley
will be afforded an opportunity of
converting his crop into the particu-
lar from of feed stuffs that he re-
quires The mill will be what is
known as custom or exchange
mill, whereby the farmer has the OPP
tion of taking IN exchange for his
wheat, either flour, bran or mid
dlings, thus eliminating the heavy
freight and handling charges that
are necessarily part of every pur-
chase made of these necessary forms
of the farm food supply.
The character and high standing
of the men who form the directorate
is of itself sufficient guarantee of
the stability of the company and in
sures to the prospective investor that
the affairs of the company will be ad-
ministered to the best interests of
all concerned They are all gentle
men who need no introduction to the
people of this section and possessed
of quality of business caution and
acumen that have made them sue
cessful in the management of their
own affairs.
Mr.. David Mccall, who will have
the management Of the new industry
is man of wide experience in the
-four milling business and as he has
shown his faith in the certainty of a
success in the new venture by the
investment of his own money in the
enterprise, the investment would
seem to be removed from the realms
of the probiematfcaf to one as near
absolute certainty as anything can
we'll be- Mr.. Mccall states that
somewhere between one thousand
and twelve hundred tons of wheat
have been harvested and threshed
in this valley from the past seasons
crops His Investigations disclose
that the average of the wheat raised
here is superior to that used in the
mills of California and that there is
no reason why an excellent brand of
| flour cannot be produced here at
cost considerably less than that now
paid for the imported article.

Mexican May Have Been Victim OF
Murder

Contrary to first impressions, it is
now believed by many that the Mex
ican whose body was found about
four miles east of Elko Monday
night, was victim of foul play. At
first the general belief was that he
had fallen from train, but facts
have later developed which lead to
the belief that he may have been
murdered. The coroner's jury
brought in a verdict to the effect
that the deceased had lost his life
by having fallen, or having been
thrown from train by parties un-
known.-1ndepend
