ADDS nine Wolf WHELPS TO
LITTER OF TEN COYOTES

Bob" Lee, who last week broke
the record In the capture OF coyotes
added new laurels TO his champion
ship crown last Sunday when he
brought in eight wolf cubs to add to
his menagerie. The little fellows
we're added to the collection of ten
coyote cubs in the window of the
Fallon Hardware & Supply Co. and
have attracted a great deal of at
tention.
The young wolves were captured
about six miles southwest of town
Originally there was nine in the lit
ter, but one jumped into fire used
in smoking them out of the den and
was so badly burned that IL died
shortly afterward. The whelps are
about three or four weeks old and
are slightly smaller than the coy
otes and of darker fur with small
or ears and broader head.
The sizes of these two litters-
nine and ten-show the remarkable
feeundity OF these animals and the
hereulean task of the government
and the State In the effort to make
an appreciable inroad on their
numbers.

CRUSHED UNDER WHEEL
OF HEAVY AUTO TRUCK
j. w. Lilly Meets With Terrible End
Last Friday-Body Shipped to
Old Home in Iowa.

The Sand Springs summit was
the scene of sad accident last Fri
day morning when j. w. Lilly, en-
ployed as cook and hostler by c. l..
Benadum at the Sand Springs sta
ton, fell to his death from an auto
truck and was instantly killed.
Lilly had been to Wonder and
had been drinking heavily and was
intoxicated when he boarded the
truck to return to Sand Springs
Lloyd Coverston was driving and
Lilly insited on taking the front
seat beside the driver, who repeated
ly endeavored to persuade him to
lie down in the back part, but he
stubbornly refused, although sever
al times saved from being thrown
off by the pitching of the truck over
the rough road At the Sand
Springs summit, while Coverston
was busily engaged in plotting his
machine over an unusually rough
section through a cut that sloped
sharply down to the track, Lilly
suddenly plunged headlong over the
side, striking on his head and shoul-
ders and slipping down the steep
bank between the front and hind
wheel of the truck. The wheel
passed over his head crushing it to
a pulp. Death was instantaneous.
Assisted by two other passengers
the body was placed on the truck
and brought to Sand Springs and
report of the accident telephoned to
the authorities at Fallon who gave
instructions for the body to be
brought to town. A coroners' jury
was impanneled which returned a
verdict OF accidental death
Lilly had been in this section but
a few weeks. He was an ex-Philip-
pine soldier and was said by all who
knew him to be man of good in
stincts, but with an uncomfortable
appetite for liquor.
c. l.. Benadum wired to his home
at Muscatine, Iowa, and received in
structions from his brother. Ben G.
Lilly, a prominent business man of
the CITY,, to have the body properly
prepared and shipped to that place
for burial. 1t is understood that he
has a mother living in Muscatine
and a sister, Mrs. J. w. Frame, re-
siding at Elko. He was about 40
years of age.

DOG DEVELOPS RABIES At
VANNOY'S old RIVER RANCH
Animal Was Bitten by Mad Coyote
About Seven Weeks Ago and
Kept Muzzled.

IL will be remembered that about
the first of March mention was made
in the Standard of the killing of a
rabid coyote at the o. j. Vannoy
ranch on Old River, the fact that
the animal had rabies was estab-
lished by sending the head to the
University laboratory which report
ed the presence Of the disease in the
specimen.
At that time 1t was not definitely
known whether any of the dogs
which first attacked the animal had
been bitten. but Mr.. yannoy prompt
y had all the ranch dogs muzzled
as a measure of precaution. That
this precaution was a wise one was
demonstrated last Thursday when
one of the dogs evidenced unmis-
taxable signs of the disease and had
10 be killed. Mr.. Vannoy states
that the animal first became stupid
and morose, contrary to his usual
disposition, and snapped at anyone
coming near him. There were no
paroxysms nor slavering or foaming
at the mouth. So far as can be de-
termined the other dogs on the place
have not been affected although a
close watch is being kept and at the
first signs of indisposition they will
be disposed of.
The danger of permitting dogs to
run at large unmuzzled, especially
in the rural districts. where the
danger of incubation is much great
er than in the towns. is shown in
this case. II is greatly to be feared
that these precautions will be ne
elected by some who are inclined to
doubt the prevalence of the malady
OF to discount its yirulency until
human being Is bitten and develops
the disease, when there will be
hysterical reign OF terror prevail in
the community that could be pre-
vented by a little common sense at
this time.

SAYS SPECIMENS WERE
PROMPTLY REPORTED ON
President Hendricks Defends Uni
yersity Against Charges of Dere-
liction In Diphtheria Cases

A couple of weeks ago the Stand
ard commented somewhat sharply
ON the failure of the University
archaeological laboratory to more
promptly report on certain diph-
liberia cultures that were sent from
t'allon. The structures were made
upon what was believed to be the
best of authority that smears were
sent from here prior to the death OF
the first victim of the disease. That
these were followed by others on
Thursday, April 18th and were
placed on the train at Hazen to in
sure immediate delivery and that
tie first report reached here the fol-
lowing Monday. In the light of the
following communication from Pres
ident Hendriek, the correctness of
which we cannot question, it would
appear thai the Standard has done
tie University an injustice and
cheerfully makes the amende hon
orable:
Ed. Standard: noticed some
few days ago a statement in your
paper which disturbed me very
much / Immediately set about an
investigation to discover whether
the statement made therein could
possibly be true. l find the facts
to be as follows:
There were specimens sent to the
laboratory during the month of
April and the period covered as fol-
lows. A specimen was received
from DR.. Gardner April IT and was
reported on April IS. Likewise,
there was a specimen received from
DR.. Ferrell on Monday, April IT and
reported on Tuesday, April Is. Two
specimens were received from DR..
Lehners on Saturday. April 15, and
were reported on Sunday, April 16.
In the data supplied by Dr. Lehners
he states the cultures were taken on
April IA at 1920 a. m, and | pre-
sumo came out on the Friday even
ing train from Fallon they reached
Reno that evening and were deliver
ed the next morning at the Uniyersi-
ty at 1000 a. m. The reports We're
made on them on April 10th.
In all cases the reports were made
upon the examinations OF the speci-
mems sent to the laboratory on the
day following their receipt. You
understand in bacterial examina-
ton the period of incubation must
be a minimum of eighteen hours, SO
the reports we're made as promptly
as possible.
very much regret that you
placed the laboratory in such unfay-
orable light to the readers of your
paper, and | hope you will correct
any Impressions which might have
been made. | have absolute faith
that your intention was meant to be
fair, but we know the laboratory
was not delinquent in the way you
have stated.
Yours very truly,
A. w. HENDRICK,
President.

Despite wars and famines, civiliza-

He may appear to be a little slow. be-

on over his head. The coat shirt is now
worn by nearly all men. Now hats are
being studied.
For some centuries man has not
been addicted to the hat beautiful,
leaving that aesthetic creation to the
ornamental sex. He has required his
headgear to be utilitsrian and comfort

and comfort are being assailed by for

third within a short time. This will
