May Abolish OrmSby
COunty'S Government

AS a result of the high tax rate
paid in Ormsby County, owing to the
small amount of taxable property in
the county, a movement which is
being sponsored by the Governor is
on foot to abolish the county goven-
ment and have the county affairs ad-
ministered through a State commits
sion, preferably the board of Capitol
Commissioners.
The Governor believes that the
bringing of the affairs of Ormsby
County under the supervision of the
State, in much the same manner as
the affairs of the District of Column
bia are administered by the Federal
government, the tax rate would be
reduced at least $1.25. At present
the rate in Ormsby County is over
four dollars Reno Gazette.

LANDER COUNTY CATTLE
DYING OF RABIES
Disease Said to Be Spreading and
is Becoming Serious Menace
To Stockmen

Geo. Russell. Jr., who is in Elko
from his ranch near Battle Noun
tain, informes the Free Press of the
ravages of the coyotes in that district
and says that many cattle and hogs
are dying from being bitten by the
diseased coyotes.
Mr.. Russell says ten head of cattle
died on the Izenhood ranch recently
from rabies.
More recently" said Mr.. Russell,
I'VE lost two of our big dairy cows
from our home herd, and we watched
them carefully to see the nature of
the disease. The first symptoms no.
ticeable was the excessive bawling of
the animal. They would stand prac-
tically in one position for the first
day and bawl necessarily. The Sec
ond day they would chase everything
that moved. not trying to bite it, but
to hook it. Then about the third
day they seemed to get weaker and
when charging at anything they
| would break down behind, and finally
get so weak they couldn't get up,
and soon died.
1.-THE ten head of cattle lost by rab-
les were found by our riders out on
the range, and the Lord only knows
how many more died and were never
found. | am told that one rancher
living near Battle Mountain lost 20
head of stock this Fall from the
rabies.
I'VE are employing men at our
own expense to go out over the range
and put out poison over the entire
country. The rabies in our section
of the State is a very serious menace

Walter K0rmeen Not
To Hang This Month

Carson News: Walter w. Ker-
meen. formerly of this city, who
will be remembered as the boy who
set fire to the school house some years
ago and was later ordered from the
city, is not to be hanged in Arizona
this month as was planned but has
been given a stay of four weeks so
that his sanity may be inquired into.
He was to have been hanged on the
18th inst for murder, but his actions
have been such all through his life
and especially during the last year,
that it is believed by many that he is
insane, and religious people who
have interested themselves in his
case are working hard to save him
from the gallows.

DR.. r. l.. Magoon, who practiced
dentistry in Ely for a number of
years and who is well known through
out the county, has gone to Europe,
presumably to take service in one of
the armies fighting on the continent.
Several friends of the doctor in Ely
have received brief notes from him,
all of which were substantially to
the same effect. namely, that he was
about to sail for Europe and expected
never to return. 1t is supposed that
the doctor intended to join the Allied
armies although there is a rumor to
the effect that he would make an eff
fort to join the Germans. He is so
handicapped physically that it is
scarcely possible that he could get
into active service but his knowledge,
of dentistry and the use of anaesthet.
les would no doubt get him into the
hospital service in whatever army he
selects to join.
This strange action on the part OF
DR.. Magoon is not entirely a surprise
to his friends here. Although nat
urally of a jovial disposition. he was
a man of moods and it is said that OF
late his financial affairs had not beer
in the best of condition. He left
Ely several weeks ago. His parents
live in San Diego and request made
in one letter written to a friend il
Ely was that the knowledge of hi.
action should be kept from them.

cupying the attention of the High
School track artists who are putting
in harder daily grinds than they did
previous to the Liberty meet. The
boys were disappointed by their I'M
expected defeat, but perhaps it was
just what was needed to show the To-
Gals their weaknesses. Grim determi-
nation to make amends to the student
body is the spirit with which they are
imbued and If they do OF do better
in the Rushville meet it will only be
because they are up against better
men.

ed at Liberty as Bob Carvey was sick
and could not make the trip but he
will be back in the harness again next
week and is. counted upon to take his
share of firsts in the next meet.
