WINNEMU((A CONCERT BAND
ARRANGING CELEBRATION

At a meeting held Tuesday night,
the members of the Winnemucea Con
cert band decided to arrange for a
grand old-fashioned celebration here
on the Fourth of July. The last time
the town had a celebration of this
character was on July 4, 1908.
Committees will be named and work
on arrangements will be commenced
within the next few days. So far as
known, this will be the only celebra-
tion in eastern Nevada. Arrangements
will be made for excursion rates on
both railroads. and many visitors will
no doubt be present from neighboring
towns.
Winnemucca has evidently awaken
ed, and indications are that we shall
have a lively year. The Sunday school
convention, which closed Sunday, will
be followed tomorrow by AL G. Barnes
circus, while the EllisonWhite Chau-
tauqua is scheduled for next month.
The summer IS festivities will wind up
with the Fourth of July celebration,
but by election time residents of Win
nemueca and this end of the county
will realize the fact that they have put
in rather strenuous season.

.TAMES LIONS BUT
BALKS AT A MOUSE

A trainer of lions and tigers, but
afraid of a mousei
Such is the status of Miss Mabel
Stark, one of the best known woman
trainers of wild animals in the world
Miss Stark is with the AL. g. Barnes
big touring wild animal circus, which
will show in Winnemueca tomorrow af-
ternoen and evening.
Miss Stark is utterly fearless in
training the most treacherous and fe.
rocious fulp grown African lions and
Bengal tigers, and she appears in one
act with two "big cats' without even
a whip.
But where a mouse is concerned
Miss Stark ceases to be an intrepid
animal trainer and is just girl-with
a girls fear of the tiny, timorous
creatures.
At Hanford where the Barnes circus
was showing some weeks ago, Miss
Stark thrilled hundreds by her fearless
handling of lions and her control over
tigers. After her 'act' was over and
she had gone to the dressing tents, a
chorus of screams was heard emanat
ing from her dressing room. The
crowd was frozen, visioning a loose
beast. Dozens of circus employees rush
ed to the tent to find three women
perched high on the trunks, screaming
for help.
cts down there on the floor, y
they cried in a frightened chorus
while Miss Stark sought to climb even
higher on the trunks.
"WEat's down there?' queried
Barnes, who himself had rushed to the
quarters.
GA mouse!" shrieked the frighten
ed girls.
A tiny mouse had found its way
into the tent from some of the hay
spread about the tents
Barnes grunted with disgust. "Fins
exhibition for lion trainer, almost
causing panic in the show over a
mouse" he said, as he turned away
"Well, / don't care," said Miss
Stark. "Lions are just lions-but q
mouse is a mouse.'
More than 1000 educated wild and
domestic animals are carried by the
Barnes circus Thirty fnll-g grown lions
appear in single act, while another
feature is an ensemble of twenty four
Bengal tigers

1t is announced that the baseball
game between the married men and
single men of Winnemucca, arranged
for a reent date but postponed, will be
PLAYED on Sunday, MAY 14th. 1t is
hoped a good crowd will appear for
the performance, as the interest mani
tested in this game will have much to
90, with baseball plans for Winnie
n,ueca this year. Some objection pre-
walls to hired players from outside the
town and others are pessimistie about
a strictly hometown team. 1t is hoped
that the fans will get together soon,

draws crowd and the fellows make
any sort of showing. there ought not
to be much trouble about getting up =

The Atlanta Close.

ATLANTA, Ca, May THAT the
new prohibition law which went into
effect with the end of April will be
strictly observed by so-called locker
clubs and by the liquor interests gem
orally was the concensus of opinion
here today.
Beer saloons, which previous laws
prohibited operating on Sunday, sold
their last drinks Saturday night
throughout the state, but here and
in others of the larger cities of the
state clubs were allowed to remain
open on Sunday as usual, and disposed
of alcoholic beverages until II, or in
some cases, 12 o'clock.
No reports had reached Atlanta to-
day at noon of any disorder marking
the passing of beer saloons, allowed to
operate under previous prohibition
laws, and the locker clubs furnished
10 more than a good natured joviality
as the last drinks were dispensed.
Promptly at II o'clock Atlanta saloon
doors were closed Saturday night and
with practically no police aid proprie-
tors cleared their places of business.
Today beer signs were as prominent
as ever, but that was all, and here and
there piece of crepe, placed by some
jocular person, fluttered from signs
that still advertised Near Beer on
, Draught,"
The new law, which passed at spe-
cial session of the legislature last De-
cember, makes illegal the sale of any
beverage containing more than one
half of one per cent. of alcohol, limits
to two quarts OF liquor, or 40 plnts VI
beer or one gallon of wine every thirty
days shipments to any individual with
q in the state, and prevents advertising
, al liquors within the state. Many of the
q locker clubs, it was said, will go ou'
A Of business, while the social clubs
whose membership is made up OF tn

which nave country club grounds am
/, other features, will not be affected, ex
" cept that they can no longer Elegail

HOLDS NOTHING

Between May 1st and 10th, Sheriff
Luclus Harvey will secure the name of
