DOG SUCCUNBS TO RABIES
At THE HARTMAN RANCH
Animal Was Bitten BY Rabid Coy
ote Two Weeks Ago and Confined
Awaiting Developments.

E. S. Hartman, former county
commissioners. visited Fallon Sun
day from his farm in the Northam
district. He brought word of the
death of a faithful dog, which oc-
CURED a couple of days previously,
the result of rabies contracted from
mad coyote that attacked the ca
nine on the Hartman premises.
Following. the fight which was term
mated by the shooting of the coy
oyte by Eddie Hartman, the family
pet was tied inside one of the farm
buildings to await developments.
1t required two weeks to a day for
the disease to ineubate, when the
dog was stricken with the rabies
and died twenty-four hours later.
The disease ran true to its usual
prognosis, the dogs head swelling,
with a frothing mouth and CLASSY
eyes as confirmatory symptoms. Mr..
Hartman stated that had he not
known of the rabies innoculation in
this instance he would not have
taken the usual caution, for his dog
showed no swapping tendencies On
the contrary, he seemed to retain
his normal faculties throughout the
short period of illness and died in
the first commissions. Like many
other diseases, rabies has many
yagaries.

FOR TRACK MEET FUND
County Grammar Schools VIII CO.
operate TO Raise Funds for An
nual Athletic Event

Next Saturday evening at eight
fifteen at the Temple theatre the
second annual entertainment for the
benefit of the Churchill County
Grammar School athletic fund will
be given. The program will consist
of selections from the programs that
have been rendered during the year
at the various schools of the county
The Oats Park school will render
several musical numbers. The
Soda Lake school will present q

and dance will be furnished by the
Jewett Orchestra.
The money made at the entertain
ment and dance will be used to pur-
chase trophies for the grammar
school track meet that is to be held
this year on April 2Sth. By giving
an entertainment those promoting
the meet have been able TO make
the enterprise entirely self-support-

State. This year. the management
hope to do as we'll or better.
The members of the various com

manifesting a great interest. The

BASKET BALL TEAM PUTS
BUNkERV|LLE ON THE MAP
Sturdy Ball Tossers from Clark
County Humble CocksIye Teams
In Larger Centers

The little Mormon hamlet down
in the northeastern point of Clark
county which some town manner saw
fit to call Bunkerville is entitled to
new cognomen. 1t may be that
Bunk and Bunkerville were never
intended as synonyms, but be that
as it may, Bunkerville and basket
ball are synonymous to degree
that has brought chagrin to the
fond hopes of high school faculties
and student bodies in Nevada's ut
termost parts, including the isolated
village of Reno, whose team of high
school stalwarts went down to de-
feat Saturday evening at the hands
of the husky youngsters who play
basket ball under the Bunkerville
banner.
This is merely a prelude to a
basketball story dealing with what
happened in Fallon Thursday even
ing when these same Bunkerville-
ties, after basking their tawny
skins in the Lahontan sunrays, en-
tered the Clark pavilion and trounc-
ed the Churchill county High school
basket ball team by the narrow mar
gin of two points The final score
here: 21 to 10. In Reno, 29 to
18. Thus Fallon claims the second
basketball honors within the State.
We might add that the first para
graph of this story is emphasized
IN extenuation of what happened in
Fallon. We might further in added
extenuation say that the Bunker
vile team is not composed of bas-
ketball players; they are a combina-
ton of pugilists, wrestlers, sprint
ers, foot ball players and strong
arm artists. Further than this,
trey have taken on a good deal of
knowledge involving basketball
team work and intricate technique.
We do not know how large Bunker
vile is, because the occasion has
never demanded looking up the an
teeedents of this center of popula-
ion, but judging it from its basket
ball team it is as large or larger
nan San Francisco.
