HIGH JINKS AT LUDWIG

Thursday evening was the time and
the Ludwig Club House was the place
and the girl was there. Amid the
twinkling lights, the ripple of music
and mingling voices filled with laugh
ter, the merry dancers g~yly tripped
the light fantactic the whole of the
balmy summer night.
Although the crowd was not as
large as expected the Club House was
we'll filled Quite number of people
were in attendance from Mason and
Yerington and were we'll received and
entertained by the Ludwig folks.
The Ludwig Club House is place
where every one at Ludwig is at home
and when stranger enters its portals
he is also made to feel that he is well
come to the comforts and enjoyment
offered by the Club. Such was the
case on Thursday evening. The peo-
pie who attended the dance from Yer
ington felt themselves at home and
consequently had most enjoyable
evening; coming away with the feel
ing that they would return again some
day for another good time at the Lud
wig Club House.
The Yerington Orchestra of three
pieces furnished the music for the
dance, and, as usual, were heartily en-
cored for their delightful playing.
Any one who didn't have the time
of their lives at this dance, have no
one 10 blame but themselves, for ev-
erything combined to make the even
ing a pleasant one. The All-Night
Midsummer dance at the Ludwig Club
House will surely go down in the his
tory of the Club as the best ever 1t
is hoped that it will not be the last.

INDIANS MIXED UP IN
CUTTING SCRAPE

On the 10th instant "Piute" Willie
Reymers was arraigned before Justice
Blanchard charged with assault with
intent to kill one George Abe, Piute
Indian. Reymers was informed of his
right to have counsel and also his
right to waive examination. He re-
fused to employ counsel and also
waived examination and was bound
over to appear before the District
Court in the sum of $500 bail. This
he was unable to procure and is now
in the county Jail.
The trouble seems to have original
ed over hand-game, popular among
the Indians. Reymers claims that, as
he went out of the door of the house
where he was staying, two Indians,
George Abe and one Henry Miller
Jumped on him." and that the injury
inflicted which consists of several bad
cuts on the head besides several
bruises were caused in protecting him
SCH Oil tHt assault VI ADc anu Nlll-
ler Abe claims that Reymers was
drunk and started trouble by hitting
the former in the chest
1t was quite dark outside of the
house where the fight took place and
none of the witnesses seem to have
very clear idea or at least seem un-
able to give clear account of the
affair.
DR.. Mckinley, the Indian Superin-
tendent at Schurz, was notified of the
arrest of Reymers and at first request
ed that Reymers be turned over to
the Indian police, but later wired to
District Attorney Campbell request
ing that the latter prosecute the case
under the State law, as the trouble
occurred outside of the reservation.
The matter will be disposed of in the
District Court at the next session,
Court will probably convene about
the 30th of this month.

GOOD BOOSTER
COPPER BELT OFFICIAL GIVES
GOOD TALK ABOUT NEVA-
DA'S RESOURCES

P. H. Cook, Superintendent of the
Nevada Copper Belt railroad, was Wis
iting in Reno last week and in an in
terview with the Nevada State Jour
nal, Mr.. Cook said:
The world will hear from develop
ments in the copper mines of Mason
Valley within the next few months,
and very naturally we look to Reno as
the metropolis of our fair State whose
resources are unknown. What we
most need in Nevada is boosters
publicity men who will declare to the
world that we have all the natural
resources of any State in the Union.
1T is not generally known that Ne
vada grows some of the finest po-
tatoes in the world, and l sincerely
believe that if the University of Ne
vada will institute general educa-
tional campaign by which agricultural
lists, viticulturists and all other lines
of industry can be educated in their
specially the State will benefit very
materially,
"This State is distinctly one in
which the study of the sciences of
practical farming and mining are es-
sential, and we who are located some
distance from the metropolis look to
the State institution of learning for
aid which we can get from no other
source. What we want here are set
tiers and those settlers will need in
struction in converting what is gen.
orally considered arid land into the
garden spot of the world. The State
of Nevada is comparatively young but
il has wonderful resources which will
make it a unit of consequence in the
nation in the near future"
Mr.. Cook is a man of wide expert
ence in other States and he readily
appreciates the resources of the State
of Nevada. 1t is only by the enthu-
siasm and earnest working of such
men will the great natural resources
of our State be made known to the
world.

SON OF FERNLEY
RANCHER FOUND
DEAD NEAR VISTA

A party of children from Reno,
while walking through the hills to
visit the home of an old hermit We'd
nesday of last week came upon the
dead body of man at paoint about
three quarters of a mile southeast of
Vista. The Sheriff's Office was noti-
fed and deputies were hastily dis
patched to the scene. From papers
found on the body it was determined
that the body was that of Arson Clark
Heap, a member of Copper Queen
Lodge, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. In addition to papers found
in his clothing there was $500 in mon
ey and a gold watch. Lying near at
hand was a rusty Iver- Johnson revol-
yer of 38-cailbre. AT first it was
thought to be case of suicide, but
investigation by the Sheriff develop
ed that the man had been shot in the
back, or at least portions of the cloth
ing were found in the wound in the
back, while a clot of blood was in the
pocket of the vest the man had worn.
Heaps father. who lives on a ranch
at Fernley, was notified and from him
it was learned that the dead man had
left Fernley about May first and no
word had been received from him
since then. He was unable to account
for his sons presence in such an out OF
the way place.
Heap is said to have been quiet
man with no know enemies and was
in good health when last seen and no
reasons are known that would lend
weight to the theory of suicide, while
the money and other valuables on the
body would seem to discredit the pos
sibiity of robbery as the motive, if he
were murdered.
The coroner's jury rendered nom
committal verdict, being unable to de-
termine just how the man came to his
death-Churchill Standard,
