DEATH COMES SUDDENLY
TO AN ESHhABLE LADY
Mrs. Minnie n. Casey Of sheekler
district Succumbs to Sudden
Attack of Heart Disease

Mrs. Minnie n. Casey, a widow
lady residing with her children on a
homestead in Sheckler district,
dropped dead last Friday night.
Mrs Casey had been suffering from
an abcess in the ear for about a
wedS previously, but otherwise was
in ordinary health, and her sudden
death came as a great shock to the
family.
The deceased lady had been work
ing with a daughter in the kitchen
of the home about $50 in the even
ing and got up and left to enter her
bedroom. The daughter heard her
fail and Immediately entered the
room and found her mother unoon-
scious on the floor Every possible
effort was made to resuscitate her
and hurried call made for DR..
FSyrel, but when he arrived life was
extinct. As the deceased had not
BEEN attended by a physician, it be-
came necessary to call coroner
jdfy to inquire into the cause OF
death before death certificate
could be issued. The jury found
that Mrs. Casey had come to her
death from natural causes. While
no post mortem was held, DR.. Fer
rel states that death was probably
due to unsuspected organic heart
trouble.
Mrs. Casey has resided in Sheck-
Ter district for several years with
her four sons and two daughters,
one son being now in California.
She was about So years of age and
was highly esteemed for her many
fovable qualities by all who knew
her. The funeral was held from the
Baptist church yesterday afternoon
and interment was had in the Fal-
lon cemetery.

A company has been organized in
Reno for the purpose of utilizing
Nevada alfalfa IN the preparation of
foodstuffs, not only in the shape of
concentrated stock foods, but for
human consuih ption as well.
Representatives of the company
appeared befbre the Commercial
Club recently and demonstrated
practically what has long been
known theoretically, that alfalfa
possesses wonderful possibilities as
food product. Heretofore investi-
cations along this line have been
confined to the grinding of the plant
into alfalfa heal for stock feed
Last fall experiments were made by
the Riverside mill company of Reno
to incorporate certain amount OF
this meal into the manufacture of a
biscuit or cracker and specimens of
tile product we're exhibited at the
recent State Fair in Fallon. Not
withstanding that no facilities were
at hand for d proper grinding of the
plant, the product, aside from its
novelty, had q distinctly paLsCapble
flavor and Phalysis has proa9&h chat
in addition Il had a high food Value
due to the presence Of IN nCjPEaal

A Fire Alarm

4 The fire department was called
out yesterday afternoon to answer
an alarm turned in from the resi-
dence of Jim Smith in the western
part of town. Fortunately there
was no need for their services as
the fire, which caught under the
house while thawing frozen water
pipes, was extinguished before their
arrival However, precaution was
taken to investigate by going under
the building before the firemen re-
turned to their quarters.

Rocites Some Hitherto Un-
pubIisned History in His
Plea for a United
-
Country

A few days ago, during the dis
cussion of a resolution by Senator
Lippitt (Rep.) of Rhode Island, di-
recting the president to invade
Mexico. Senator Newlands said:
Mr.. President, we are on the eve
of a Presidential campaign. 1t has
been the custom of each party to
present its indictment against the
party in power during the session
Immediately preceding such cam
paign. During such session It has
been the custom to engage in Grim
ination and recrimination, and to
exhaust the time in partisan at
taeks rather than to spend it useful
ly in correctional or constructive
legislation.
This has been the custom of both
parties. do not present a charge
against the Republican Party today
that could not have been made with
with equal correctness against my
own party in past times
/ deplore, however that the fact
that in a crisis of this kind. when
the President of the United States
is engaged in negotiations that re-
late to two wars-a civil war on our
borders in Mexico saG an interna-
tional war abroad-and when the
questions of the highest delicacy are
being considered by the man charg-
ed by the Constitution with respons-
ibility regarding the conduct of our
foreign relations, we should allow
a question of our foreign relations
10 enter into these controversies OF
elimination and recr-mination.
Just before the Cuban war | hap
pened to be a Member OF the House
of Representatives and a member of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
At that time the country was excit-
ed with reference TO the condition Of
Cuba. An election was approaching
and the party of which | was
member was then engaged in some
what the same thing form Of at
tack upon Mr. Mckinley, as is now
being INDUCED in by the Republican
Party upon Mr. Wilson.
recall that during that time the
President was embarrassed by the
consideration OF numerous resolu-
tons presented by the leaders of
the adversary party in the House OF
Representatives regarding the recog-
milton of belligerent rights and 9TH
or matters of that kind. | recall
that at a conference of the Demo-
Gratis of the House the question
came up as to whether this mode Of
attack was proper and would be
fruitful of results. | ycntured 10 In
quire at that time whether the Dem
ocratic party wished to get into war;
and was assured it did not, that
it was mere question of party tao
tics; that the commencement and
the maintenance of a war pending
a national campaign would insure
the retention in power of the domi-
nant party. Ny reply was. then
this resolution will drive this admin
istration into war. An answer came
back from a prominent Democrat
that the Republican Party could not
be kicked into war. That mode OF
attack went on. Disaffection in
creased In the Republican party; in
the Northwest particularly, the SEN
timent was intense and Republicans
felt that their seats were in danger
at the approaching election. They
formed an organization called the
insurgents. and called upon the
President with reference to the
pending situation and insisted that

During the past couple of weeks
the depth of water in the Lahontan
reservoir has been reduced about
two feet by dlscharging a moderate
quantity through the outlet pipes.
About 500 acre feet had been going
through, but this was reduced so
per cent owing to the presence of an
ice jam on the lower Carson belo%
Fallon, which threatened to flood
that section if the full flow was con
tinued.

ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR
FEEDING STARVING QUAIL
Commissioners Provide Grain and
and Employ Men to Save
Game Birds

Last Friday the County Commits
sioners took cognizance of the fact
that the recent heavy SHOWS with its
accompaniment of cold weather had
threatened the extinction of the
quail and pheasant in the valley un-
less measures were adopted to pro-
vide for their feeding.
The game fund was drawn on to
purchase grain and L. w. Balm was
authorized to take full charge of
the campaign Mr. Balm according
ly purchased something over two
tons of grain and employed eight
men with teams to scour the coun-
try in search of the roosts. Charley
Glazier was sent to Saltwater dis
triet; Albert Wainscott was detailed
to Lone Tree district; Ted Frazier
covered Wightman and Smart dis
tricts; Earl Allen took charge of st.
Clair district; Mr.. Zumwalt covered
Sheckler and Old River districts
". A. Lee took in the sections be-
tween Sheckler and Soda Lake west
of town, while Charley Tackett fed
the birds around Soda Lake. Messrs
Bain and Bish Ferguson were a
committee at large to &C er the en-
tire territory.
Quite a number of dead birds
were found and many more helpless
from the cold and that could be
picked up and handled. These were
cared for and fed. 1t was found
that the snow, owing to its excep-
tional dryness had penetrated The
sagebrush. instead of making a
shelter as would otherwise be the
case. Hence it was found that the
quail were usually found in the
trees. The pheasants had apparent
ly all left the open country and tax
en- to the river where they found
shelter in the brush and were found
in much better condition than the
quail.
The largest number of dead birds
were discovered in Lone Tree dis
triot which is accounted for by the
lack of shelter. The Indians in this
district were found to be gathering
up the dead and helpless birds. Ii
is now believed that the worst is
over for the birds unless there is q
recurrence of the storm in which
case 1t will be necessary to feed
again. Mr.. Balm found that the
birds were taking advantage Of the
rendered charity. Although they
would not feed while human beings
were around, on returning to the
places where the snow had been
cleared away and the grain scatter
ed there was plenty of evidence that
these spots had been visited. Also
il was found that the chilled ones
had recovered and disappeared.
Il was fonnd that the habits are
also having a strenuous struggle for
existence. They are thick around
the haystacks. especially in st. Clair
district, and are doing considerable
damage. In Island district 16O rab-
bits were killed last Sunday.
Mr.. Balm states that in their tray
els over the entire valley they saw
but four coyotes and these kept at
a distance, showing that for the
present at least there are not many
of these animals in this section.
Mr.. Balm also reports that in
practically every section he found
that the farmers had been caring for
the birds and were scattering feed
around their homes.
