Gus business and professional men of
the town tomorrow, to get their ideas
on how big to make the celebration.
care you going to have so and so"
this, or chat, or something
else'9 will be asked, according to the
individual notion of the person inquir-
ing.
Yes, we are going to have Soand-so,
also This and That-if we can raise the
wherewithal to pay for them.
From the way the boys are talking,
they are aiming pretty high. They want
an airship performance every day; n
big parade, with several hundred dol
lars as prizes for the prettiest floats
and best decorated automobiles; prizes
for the best decorated homes and bust
ness houses; athletic contests of all
sorts; little speech-making; some en-
tertainment from the juniors-the fu-
ture men and women of the town-all
these, as well as this, and that, and
so and so.
Now, if the financial section meet
with the encouragement they are hop
ing for, Winnemueca is going to have
the biggest and best Fourth of July
celebration ever seen here.
The solicitors for contributions are
going to find out tomorrow just how
much Fourth of July celebration is
really wanted in the town.

business trip, and returned home on No.
5 Friday morning. This was Mr.. Rein
hart s first visit to Battle Mountain

himself as surprised at the growth of
onr town from what it was some years
ago.
Prosperity for Nevada in all lines Of
industry, was the prediction of Mr.
Reinhart, nor did he project this con
dition into the future, but asserted that
we are even now entering its prelimi-
nary stages. While here, he put in a
good word for the benefit dance to be
given by the Odd Fellows in Winnie

COYOTES KILL SHEEP
IN CHURCHILL COUNTY

Joe NUNS, who keeps his sheep on
the range in the vicinity of job 8 Peak.
east of Saltwater, was in town Tues
day, making a shipment of 100 sacks
of wool, the shipment being to Walter
c. Donald of Reno, an eastern buyer.
Mr.. Munis states that he has lost a
great many sheep from rabies. Not
long ago a coyote dashed into his flock
and bit the sheep right and left. The
shepherd did not have a gun, but made
after the rabid animal with a club, but
it kept just out of his way. 1t proba
bly, bit 30 sheep before it was driven
away. Sixteen days later rabies devel
oped in the flock and the loss ran up
to between 40 and 60 head. Some of
the sheep would butt into rocks and
bank, bruising their heads terribly be-
fore they died. Some would run away
from the flock and were never seen
again. Some of the lambs whose moth
ers had rabies contracted the disease
and also died.
One day the man who took care of one
of the fiocks saw a coyote coming to-
ward him end he ran, but the animal
got so close he saw he could not get
away, so he picked up two rocks and
when the rabid animal was within
few steps of him he threw and fortu-
nately knocked it out the first time.
Now the herders all carry rifles.
TIL coyotes are very plentiful in the
high mountains, having left the valley
almost entirely. In many instances
the coyotes devour the careasses of the
sheep that die from rabies, and just
what the result of this viii be the herd
ers have not conjectured. They say it
would be easy to kill the coyotes in the
mountains, and especially in a month
or so from now. If an occasional bron-
eho were shot, it would be easy to poi
son the coyotes which gather around
the careasses without fail.
From the reports that are coming in
from hills east of Saltwater, it would
appear that the commission that has
raised the money to fight rabies should
be getting busy and send hunters into
the hills in this county-Fallon Eagle.

PORTIONS NATIONAL FOR
ESTS RESTORED TO Entry

On May 10 the President signed
proclamation, the effect of which is
exclude from the Dixie national fer
situated in Arizona and Utah, over
half Of the lands embraced therein III
eliminations, which total SIS, ,52
acres, are all made from the two Ar
zona divisions of this forest. The are
known as the Parashont division, con
sisting of block of land approximate
ly 25 miles square, bordering the Gram
Canyon of the Colorado river, is abol-
ished and this entire area restored TO
the public domain. The other Arizona
'ivision of the forest, known as the Mt.
rumbull division, and also partly
ounded by the Grand Canyon, has been
greatly reduced, all but about 2s see
tios being eliminated. The lands re-
tanned in this division, as part of the
forest, comprise the well timbered por
tion, and includes lands on which are
situated a number of small sawmills.
The result of this large elimination
is to restore to the public domain \
considerable area which the Forest ser
vice has for some time felt could not
properly be retained as part of Ma
tional forest, since the lands affected
were found to have little or no value
for timber or watershed purposes, but
TO really be valuable only for stock
grazing.
The proposal to make this elimination
was opposed by the majority of the
users, who desired to have the lands re-
main within the forest in order that
their cattle might Craze under govern
ment reglation. Because of the manifest
fest non-forest character of the area.
the secretary of agriculture determined
to recommend its release from national
forest form of reservation. The Utah
division of the Dixie, situated north of
st. George, is not affected by the pres
ent proclamation. Two small areas of
national forest land in southern Neva-
la, in the vicinity of Las Vegas, known
as the Moapa division, and formerly a
part of the Toiyabe forest, are trans
ferred to the Dixie forest by this same
proclamation. This action is taken
purely because of administrative re-
quirements, since it was found that
,hese areas could more properly and
more economically be supervised by the
forest supervisor at st. George, Utah.
than from the Toiyabe headquarters at
Austin, Nevada.

ing of this complaint, at Elko, in the

niously, aid, abet, counsel, encourage,
induce and procure Ella Connell to kill
Mike Connell by poisoning him by
means of croton oil, ipecac, apamor-
phine, hydrochloride and other poison
Gus substances.

o. clock Wednesday morning, May "a.

torney J. NJ McNamara will represent

such an action and that they will be
speedily acquitted at the preliminary
hearing.

NOTICE OF APPEAL
FILED BY CLARK

Today R. Gilray, representing defend
ant, fled notice Of appeal, in the case
of Carey VS.. Clark, from the Judgment
denying motion for a new trial Yester-
day judgment was filed for plaintiff by
Judge Ducker and motion for a new
trial overruled
The controversy between the two
principals in this suit, which has been
in the courts for a long time, dates
back to the time that Carey sold Clark
a piece of ground adjoining the county
bridge over the Humboldt river, and
upon which Clark erected a handsome
building. Clark alleges that the deed
to the property does not conform to his
contract with Carey, conveying consid-
cradle less land than was agreed upon.

Gladys Robson uttered a scream
as there was a crash. Oh! why had
she ventured down the steep slant of
the slippery, dangerous railroad en-
bankment because it was a short cut
to town? It was true she had done
so several times before, and others
made a practice of it, but who could
anticipate a freight train in wreck
and ruin all of a sudden, not twenty
feet away from her.
Crash!
Her senses reeled. She saw a buIg-
ing, swaying car strike the spot
where she would have landed in
twenty seconds more. Another car
piled up on it. Pieces Of splintered
wood and iron were raining all about
her. The ascent was difficult Fran
tically she stroVe to get beyond dan
ger. She grasped roots, vines, bush
es. A strand of tree root gave in her
clasp.
81 am Iostw she said, and went
sliding down toward the heavy mass
that seemed bound to engulf her.
Hold steady! abruptly spoke a
gentle but firm voice close to her ear,
and closer still a f1rm-set form halted
her descent and a strong, brave arm
eGcircled her.
Nov then, don't struggle. l can
manage it, and her rescuer began
to pull her up with him, bracing with
his feet, lifting only when he was
sure of the root or bush he grasped.
Safe and sound!' he spoke with
relief and satisfaction, as he lifted
Gladys over the edge of the top of
the embankment. She slipped from
his arm and sat swaying to and fro
from sheer fright, staring bIankIy at
him.
