of a Barrel of Zeroline

Harry Warren came to the
county seat Tuesday and reported
another theft. A hogshead OF
zeroline belonging to him was
stolen Monday night. 1t is
second offense perpetrated against
Mr.. Warren n two weeks. This
does not look good for a commun-
ity so sparsely populated. Mr.
Warren is well known by every
one in the valley, and is a hard
worker. Why take grudge out
on a man in this low fashion, for
grudge it must be, there couldn't
be any one here so contemplate
to steal a barrel of Zeroline. II
there should be one among us SO
low that he would stoop to such a
despicable act, he will be caught
sooner or later, and the penalty
won't be light. Mr.. Warren is ex-
asperated, and secured a warrant
Tuesday. and hopes to be more
successful than last week.

That the people of Lyon coun-

statement made by Governor

coyote question is looked upon as
the most serious one in the State
at the present time" said the
Governor, in an interview after
the meeting The rabies among
coyotes showed itself in northern
humboldt county one year ago.
Since that time it has extended to
within sixteen miles OF Reno, and
is over on the Utah border, show
ing that the disease travels very
fast and will be over the entire
State unless steps are taken to
stop its spread and eliminate the
disease.

GOVERNOR BOYLE ISSUES PROCLAMATION THAT
ALL DOGS MUST Be QUARANIhED
IMPORTING OF DOGS FROM OTHER STATES, OR SHIFT
ING THOSE IN STATE PROHIBITED

Governor Boyle issued a procla
nation prohibiting the impor-
ting of dogs from other States to
Nevada, or moving OF dogs from
one district to another in the
State. This proclamation was
made necessary from the fact that
rabies takes several days to make
itself known. If a dog is bitten by
rabid coyote, several days elaps-
es before the symptoms are appar-
ent. This makes it impossible
for the spread of the disease, by

saw a man in his position, who

CATION Of COYOTES AND MuzzUNG Of

with representatives OF the United
states Biological Survey and the
United States Department OF Pub
lie Health, gathered at this con-
ference, and after acquainting
themselves with all negotiations
had with the Federal Government,
took the necessary step to acquire
Federal aid in combating these
disorders. 1t was decided that
the only way this could be done
was in making emergency loans
in the different counties. Twelve
counties have already signified
their willingness in making the
loans, which are for the purpose OF
providing fund for a co-operat-
i've campaign against the coyote
and dog. i'll conjunction with the
United States Government.
Lyon County Joins.
Lyon county joined in the
movement on Monday night. A
rabies commission was appointed
by the Commissioners at their
meeting, and this commission, ex-
ofiicio board members who
receive no salary, left for Winnie
mucca Monday night for the pur-
pose OF a preliminary conference
with the United States Biological
Survey. After a draft OF tenta-
tive agreement with that depart
ment, this draft will be submitted
TO the various counties for their
approval. That these measures
are warranted is proven by the
rapid spread OF the disease.
Several Cases at Hazen.
There has been several cases OF
rabies at Iiazen, and it seems to
be rapidly approaching Lyon Co.
Once this disease is developed, ii
is incurable, and almost invariab-
" results in death in a few days.
1t is carried by coyotes and dogs
almost exclusively. In Elko coun
ty there was a general apathy to
controlling dogs. But after a
number OF people were bitten by
rabid animals, the authorities
awakened to the necessity for ac-
ton, and now, will kill any dog,
muzzled or unmuzzled, found on
the streets. 1t is said there are.
not over six dogs left in the town
of Elko. Men who had valuable
animals, and knew of the danger
of having them at large, chloro-
formed them rather than have
them live as a menace to the COM
munity. A rabid dog is vastly
more dangerous than a rattle
snake. Destroy the coyotes, con-
troll the dog, thus preventing the
spread OF this dangerous disease,
