In the sixth game of the 1915-1916

This is the first time Goldfield has
been defeated on her own court for
over seven years and the defeat was

as was their victory over Tonopah on

by netting thirteen baskets from every
angle of the Goldfiel6 court. Butler

THEATER PARTY AND
A MIDNIGHT LUNCH
MEMBERS OF MONTANA CLUB
ENTERTAINED DELIGHTFULLY."-
SATURDAY EVENING

The entire membership of the Mon
tana club came down the hill las
Saturday evening to witness the spe-
cial performance of 1.-THE Battle Cry
of Peace" at the Butler. 1t was an
invitation box party given by Carl
Howe, leaser from the Montana
Mines company, to his fellow-members,
And it might well have been in com
memoration of the triumphant return
of three of the members from a re
cent rather exciting encounter with
one of the gangs which infest the
wilds of far down town
After the play all adjourned to the
home of Mrs, Carlisle just behind the
club, and the theater or commemora-
ton party was at once resolved int
a chicken salad party" where there
was no more battliffg or crying, but
where peace and plenty and fun reign
ed supreme.
That noise which wakened our
citizens about midnight was not the
dreadful Mizpah whistle broken loose,
but simply the cheers for Mr.. Howe
with which this Montana CLUB party
came to an end.

HOW MEMBERSHIP OF
LEGISLATURE STANDS
NEW LAW OF APPORTIONMENT
GIVES EACH COUNTY ONE
SENATOR

1t appears from an analysis of the
new law governing legislative repre-
sentation and reducing the member
ship of the legislative bodies of The
state of Nevada, that only four coun-
ties will have the privilege of elect
ing state senator this year The
new law or apportionment provides
for one senator from each county.
All told there are 13 follower sena.
tors representing II counties. Tie
people of the counties of Mineral
Lyon, Nye and White Pine will elect
senators, OF the holdover members
of the senate there are six democrats
and one independent and six republ
cans. so that to control the senate the
democrats must elect three members
and the republicans three.
The slash that was made by tn,
last legislature in the apportionmen
of the members of both houses will
result in bigger scramble for fewer
jobs. The Legislature was cut from
rs members to As.
The new law provides for one sena
tor from each county and 81 assembly
men, apportioned as follows:
