VILLA SHIFTS
HIS POSITION
TO EASTWARD
Wires From Juarez Were Cut by
Members of the Bandit
Army.
FOUR THOUSAND SOLDIERS
CONCENTRATED ON BORDER

lei Paso, Texas, March 13.-Villa
| has taken a sudden twist to the east
| ward, according to 2 report received
tonight by General Gavira at Juarez
This move apparently takes Villa
away from the territory where he has
been supposed to seek refuge and
north of which the concentration of
American troops has been heaviest
This information was received By
Gavira from his subordinates, Col.
Gonzales, who commands the troops
protecting the Mormon colony at Ca
sa Grandes.
The wires from Juarez to the col
| ony were cut last night by Villas
men. Gonzales restored them this
evening. Villa, Gonzales reports, is
now at Galeana, a town about 20
! miles due east of COrralitOs, where
! he was last previously reported.
! Brigadier General j. J. Pershing
and his entire staff left here late to-
J day for Columbus. General Pershing
went on a special train, leaving his
personal baggage to be sent after
him.
This means that the headquarters
of the main eXpeditionary force has
been shifted from here to Columbus,
where nearly 1000 troops, represent
cavalry, artillery and infantry, al
ready have been concentrated. This
force has practically completed its
equipment and accumulating of sup
plies and is approaching campaign
form.
Commander Arrives.
General Pershing arrived at New
Mexico tonight from Ell PasO. 1t is
understood he is to assume immedi-
ate command of the troops already
concentrated here for the punitive eX-
pedition against Villa into Mexico.
Commands now at Columbus mus
ter approximately $500 men.
Several other commands are eX-
pected, the plan apparently being to
make the column to move out of Col
umbus the main unit of the expedl-
tionary force, with field wireless and
aeroplane equipment.
General Pablo Bertani, command
ing the garrison of 1900 Carranza
troops at Palomas, six miles south OF
the border, today notified American
military authorities that he expected
to call on General Pershing for a con-
ference.
Not In Mexico.
Late tonight General Funston said
the expedition would not get under
way tomorrow morning. He charac-
terized all rumors that troops were
already in Mexico as absolute false
hood"

LINCOLN HIGHWAY FILMS
ARE SHOWN IN fALLON
Pictures Give General Satisfaction
Despite Brief Glimpses of Inter-
esting Sections

The Lincoln Highway pictures
were shown at the Rex Theatre for
an extra performance on Sunday
afternoon and at three perform
ances Monday to capacity houses.
The magnitude of the undertake
ing of showing a pictorial represen-
tation of 1884 miles of highway,
practically every mile of which is
replete with interest and unique in
itself, necessitated the omission of
thousands of feet of film in order
to bring the presentation within
the scope of three hours showing
One cannot help wishing that at
some later date we may have the
pleasure of viewing the entire film
divided into sections and shown as
a series. AS it was we were treated
to flashes of interesting and beauti-
full sections of country, beautifully
decorated towns and cities with
their inhabitants in gala attire that
we fain would linger over, but which
the inexorable censor perforce must
hasten over in order that other
waiting scenes might too have their
need
Naturally the Fallon audience
awaited with great interest the ap-
pearance of the Nevada section on
the screen. The crossing of the
State line was greeted by the ire
pressible gamins on the front seats
with outbursts of noisy applause
which demonstrated the loyalty of
Neyada's young America. In the
scenes at Fallon, Reno and Carson
the impartiaiity of the censor was
plainly apparent. Like preceding
sections it was sketchy and aggra-
vatingly incomplete and unsatisfy-
ing, but again we must acknowledge
that we Jared as well-perhaps bet
ter than other communities that
had made even greater efforts to
adequately present their particular
section of the great transcontinental
highway.
Taken as a whole and viewed dis
passionately, with due credit to the
desire of the projectors of the en-
terprise to give equal and exact JUS
tice to all sections within the Iimi.
tations imposed by time, the Lin
coin Highway pictures are a pro
nounced success and as an adver.
tisement of the possibilities of the
great highway as the Main Street
of the Nation" when finally COM
pleted will be of inestimable bene-
| fit to the promoters, since it will
bring home to every community
the advantages to be derived from
good roads and the linking together
of widely separated sections of the
country with increased business as
the perfection of the highway makes
transcontinental travel an induce
ment by removing the difficulties
and providing Accommodations for the
tourist.

HAVE YOU SEEN 1T?

We have no recollection of a
more inviting musical program than
that of the soloists of the Schubert
symphony Club of Chicago, which
is to appear here on January % at
the Temple Theatre, having been
offered our readers. Look over
their program carefully and you
will agree with us that II is much
too inviting to miss attending.
Those who attended the Schubert
Clubs entertainment given in Fall
lon three years ago assure us that
IL was the best musical attraction
ever given in F'allon.
Their temperance on January
22 will be under the auspices of the
High School which. of itself, is a
guarantee of the excellence of the
program. A liberal portion of the
evenings receipts will so to the
High School to assist in financing
the School Annual, the first ever at
tempted by the pupils This effort
on the part of the young people is
worthy OF the support of the entire
community, and II is hoped that a
record crowd will be on hand on
January 20.

ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT WORK
IN PROGRESS AT LINCOLN
Company Is Now Engaged i'm Driv.
ing n Tunnel to Tap all Known
Veins at Depth

Frank Wilson and Murray Scott,
iocators of the Nevada Lincoln
group of mines in this county, near
Alpine, were In town last week, the
latter went on to Reno, while VIII
son returned to the claims to over
see the development work that is
now being actively prosecuted since
the Incorporation of the company
last month.
The principal work now in prog
ress is the driving of a tunnel to
crosscut the three known veins that
outcrop on the surface. II is ex-
pected that this tunnel will cut the
largest ore shoot at about 200 feet
in depth and thus provide a large
block of stoping ground. The tun-
mel is now in about 25G feet and IL
is estimated that about so days
more will be required to drive it to
tie point where the big vein will be
encountered. Two shifts of men
are now employed in this work.
The property is coming up fully
to the most sanguine expectations
of its locators. who have spent the
summer since the discovery last
June in opening up and proving
the property by open cuts and shall
low shafts on the various veins. in
the course of which work there has
been exposed and extracted con-
siderable tonnage of ore that will
bear transportation, besides a vast
quantity that only awaits the erec-
ton of reduction works on the
ground to make of the new camp,
what its owners have always claim
ed il would prove, one of the best
milling propositions in Nevada.
Thirty samples recently taken
from all parts of the property gave
returns ranging from SIS TO $50 per
ton in gold and silver with an aver
age for all of 5000. values being
35 per cent gold and 65 per cent
silver In character the ore strong
ly resembles that at the Nevada
Wonder, which was likewise dis
covered by Murray Scott, and which
Is distant but IA miles from his lat
est discovery.
The Nevada Lincoln Mining Com
pany has an authorized issue of l.
$50, 900 shares of stock of which
500, 900 shares are in the treasury
The ownership stock is pooled.

CONDUCTOR DODBS GETS
SURPRISE OF HIS LIFE
His Hazen Friends Take Possession
of His Apartments and Put
One Over" on Him.

George Dobbs, the genial conduc-
tor of the Fallon branch and who
numbers his friends both here and
in Hazen by the entire list of his
acquaintanceship in the two towns,
was the recipient of a surprise par
ty by the Hazen contingent, last
Saturday night, and from all ac-
counts it was surprise party for
fair.
1t seems that George is in the
habit, after finishing his run and
the duties Herewith connected, of
going to dinner at the Palace Hotel,
after which, with a few congenial
spirits, he repairs to his bachelor
quarters and the evening is passed
in social games and conversation
until bedtime.
The people of Hazen, wise to his
custom took advantage OF his alb
sence at the evening repast to in
wade his domicile and remove the
furniture and prepare seating capac-
ity for practically the entire village
of Hazen. The self-invited guests
then awaited his return with the
lights out, and when George showed
UP with a few cronies who were in
on the play and invited them in at
the same time turning on the lights,
he was confronted with the unex-
pected sight of an aggregation that
would delight the proprietor of a
moving picture house who had been
used to playing to empty benches.
Those present state that it was
the first time they had ever known
Dobbs to be struck speechless. How
ever, he soon arose to the occasion,
and after the exchange of New
Year Fluctuations, the party settled
down to the enjoyment of games,
music, dancing and the discussion
of refreshments which were brought
in later. Georges friends are hap
py in having "Put one over" on the
foxy conductor.

Eagles Now Years Dance

The New Years dance given by
Fallon Aerie No. 1447, Fraternai
Order of Eagles at Clark's Pavilion
last Friday night, proved to be one
of the most enjoyable and largely
attended social affairs of the season.
Upwards of one hundred couples
enjoyed the hospitality of the Fra
ternity and dancing was indulged
in until well along toward daylight.
The New Year dance by the Eagles
Fridays affair was fully up to the
mark set by former efforts of the
fraternity TO entertain their friends.

the new building but owing to the
stormy day there was not much ac-
complished only at meal time when

most bountiful dinner. Quite a

make a more enjoyable time. The

New Hollier Eight

Thos. Woodliff, Jr., has been ap-
pointed representative III this terri
tory for the Hollier eight cylinder
auto, which sells for $685. f. o. b.,
Michigan. Mr. Woodiiff has given
the car a severe test under the most
exacting conditions and it has re-
sponded to every demand made up
on IL. The Hollier have long been
manufacturers of high-grade auto
mobile parts and when they decided
to enter the automobile field with a
car of their own and bearing their
name it is a guarantee of quality
par excellence.
