NEVADA RACING SEASON WILL
OPEN IN RENO NEXT JULY.

The state racing commission. re-
Gently appointed by Governor Boyle
has decided to open Nevada's first
racing season in Reno next July. Z.
n. Boots of Franktown was elected
treasurer, and w. II. Moffat as vice
treasurer. Dave Stanton of Reno
was elected secretary. The commits
sion will maintain its permanent Of
fee in Reno.
The rules adopted by the Kentucky
state racing commission will be the
rules governing the sport in Nevada
but a number of changes will be IN
serted into the local schedule, includ-
ing permission to enter horses which
have not been registered as thor
oughbreds, providing that the owner
produces a sworn affidavit for the
Identification of the horse. This af-
fdayit will be a protection TO the
public against the entry of high-class
racers in events in which on
thoroughbreds are entered.
Another rule of the Nevada com
mission is the prohibition against the
racing of WI year olds before May
of each year. The discussion of the
season by the commission de-
yeloped the fact that Nevada has
many blooded horses. but that regis
tration has been neglected, owing to
a decline in racing interest.
The July meet will last several
weeks, the date of the opening to be
announced later. but it will take
place shortly after the meeting Of
the racing association in Denver and
prior to the big meet scheduled for
the exposition in San Francisco, Au-
gust /. All associations desiring
licenses for racing meets should
maks application to Dave Stanton at
Reno.

DANIEL SON and PUTNAM NEWS

Court ito decide in this-case il whether,
at the time the liquor In question was
seized, It was intended by the owner
or keeper thereof to be sold or ex-
changed in violation of law" Dage-
MAS claims that he was in possession
of half a dozen, bottles of the beer
which was seized as owner. and that
he was in possession of the balance OF
parties understhe provisions OF Chap
ter 209.of the Public Acts OF 1913. II
Dagenais proves that all the steps set
forth in that statute have been COM
piled with by him and his principals,
the mere possession by him OF these
LIQUORS ina no-license townfistnot-fl-
legal.
In determining this case, the Court
finds the following facts to have been
proved:
1: That the liquors. mentioned in
the complaint and oficers return were
seized as set forth in the ofiicersfre-
2. Observation-Disclosures at the-tfmesof
seizure were ains-the possession OF ELI
Dagenais;
8. That at-the time .of=seizure, one
half. dozen bottles of beer, of the

possession ofsEi tDagenais;
4. That the balance Of said liquors
was in>the'possession said Ell. Dage-
nalS faS agent Tor various parCIeS un-
der the provision of Chapters209 -of-the
Public Acts of 1913;
5. That the provfsions Of said
Chapter 2O9 OF the Public Acts OF 1913
had been strictly complied with by
saidt Dagenais and his several princi-
pals;
8. That there wasrno evidence tend
ing to, prove that said Dagenais IN
tended, to se1l3or exchange any of said
liquors in violation of law;
z. That the manner in which 'Dage-
naiS charged his principals for his SER
vices or the amount which The received
therefor, Zwhile 1t may disprove that
Dagenais was a common carrier, and
may disclose that he did,not charge a
uniform rate. does not disprove the
fact that he was in each Of the sew
eral cases the agent for theAprincipal
named in that transaction;
8. That the question Of whether
Public Actsrof 1907. in that he made a
business OF procuring orders for iq-
uors in a no-license town or that he
publicly invited or procured such or
ders, is not in issue in the present
case, and does not and cannot affect
the status of the liquors in his pos
session as agent.
Therefore, I find that the liquors
seized were not a nuisance, and it Is
Ordered, that a warrant issue order
ing that said liquors, with the vessels
containing them, be returned forth
with to the place where they were
seized, by some proper officer.
