HI ROBINSON DIES IN ELKO

Gently died with rabies on the Diamond
A desert near the Nevada Idaho line
1t will be remembered that last fall
Mr.. Robinson was bitten on the face
by a rabid coyote while he laid out
in the sagebrush west Of Elko on the
Tuscarora road. He had been drinking
to a considerable extent, and with
others started home. When some dis
tance out of town his companions turn
ed back, but he made his bed in the
sagebrush and during the night he was
attacked by a rabid coyote He reeeiv-
ed laceration on his face, but he ridi-
euled the idea of rabies among the
coyotes and refused to return for the
Pasteur treatment. He continued on
his way to the Diamond A desert,
where he developed the dread disease
and died. His death occurred some
time ago, but word of it was only re-
Gently brought here through Charles
Howard, the shepman.
This is the first death recorded from
rabies in this vicinity since that of
Miles MeKinnon in Palisade last year.
Mr. Robinson s home was in the ex-
treme north end Of Elko county, far
distant from medical aid. During the
winter months communication with this
place is practically cut off on account

WESTERN OIL WINS
ON DUNCAN HILL

"One of the most significant feat
ures connected with the sensational
Duncan street hill-climbing contest
pulled off in San Francisco recently,
and the featrure that probably means
most to Pacific Coast motorists said
D. G. Hillman, district sales manager
of the Standard Oil company, lis the
fact that, with few exceptions, the
cars that successfully negotiated that
now famous fifty per cent grade, had
their crank cases filed with oil made
from western asphalt-base crude"
Every prospective car buyer in
that neck of the woods had his eye on
the machines that went out to con
quer Duncan street hill. And no on
was more awake to that fact than were
the motor ear dealers themselves.
So, when they saw to it that their
test ears were filed with Western oil,
there was a great deal more back of it
than any mere feeling of loyalty TO
home industry. One dealer is reported
as having said, 'any inferior oil would
have proved disastrous Evidently
most of them considered western oil
as the best bet"

JUVENILES JOIN IN
mining STAMPEDE

On Tuesday afternoon two East Ely
school boys, aged about 10 years, de-
cided to join the rush TO the tungsten
mines, and make an easy fortune. They
supplied themselves with loaf of
bread, three hard-boiled eggs, box of
matches and an old cap and ball pistol
which had been family relic for
many years, and thus equipped they
hit the grit and started south with
all the valor and hope of prospeetors
of more mature years. They had heard
that the road to the mines was lined
with teams, and therefore they expect
ed to fall in with some outfit at camp
ing time, but as they journeyed along
heavy and wet snow began to fall,
which somewhat dampened their spir-
its; but the journey was continued.
When they reached Steptoe valley one
of them happened to remember that
large amount of treasure was hidden
in a cabin on the western slope of the
Schell creek range, so they concluded
to lift this first and then continue on
to the mines. They left the valley and
hiked for the mountains, and after as
eending a canyon for some distance
they came upon the cabin, but failed
to discover the treasure. However. they
built a fire, and while resting killed
eottontail with a rock, evidently for
getting that they were armed with
pistol. They skinned the rabbit and
roasted it over the Goals of their fire,
which, with their bread and eggs, made
fairly good supper. BY this time
night was approaching, snow was still
falling and the mountain air was bitter
cold, so they concluded that it would
be better to return home and secure a
more complete camp equipment. Along
early in the evening two very tired,
wet and hungry little boy prospectors
arrived home after a tramp of hours
through deep snow, only to meet a
most frigid reception from their par
ents. However, they were soon
warmed up" and put to bed. Their
parents apparently failed to enthuse
over the adventure, but the prospectors
are not discouraged, and state that
they will try it again when weather
conditions are more favorable, and the
Record hopes that they win secure a
claim worth at least a million.-Ely
