about three arrests, the balance of
the fifteen or more gamblers hitting

Curtis.
Besides this element. several rough
necks, who have been snspicioned OF
selling whiskey to Indians were NOV

II is reported thai several of the
gamblers announced, after being
given orders to move along. that as

SEASON
OPENS SUNDAY

At sunrise Sunday morning the
open season for shooting wild ducks
will be ushered in, in Carson Valley
with a bombardment on the feathered
tribe. The opening day. falling us it
does, will permit of all hunters being
at their favored spots to await the
opening hour as prescribed by the
federal law
Duck are more plentiful that in
many years, according to reports
from different parts of the Valley.
This is due, no doubt, to the shorten
ing the season under federal regula-
tons. While some hunters are great
ly opposed to the present law, they
should in reality be thankful that
the government took hand in pro-
tecting ducks and other wild game.
Under lax laws, it would have been
but short time when duck and other
wild game would have been complete
ly cleaned out. The great Increase
in the number OF wild ducks reported
in different parts of Nevada, is ample
proof that the government laws con-
trolling the killing of wild ducks
and other wild game, is right from
every standpoint.

WARRANT FOR
]. MANFRINA

A warrant was issued yesterday
afternoon for the arrest of Joseph
Manfrina, a we'll known resident of
Carson Valley upon charge of
lewdness. The warrant was sworn
to by "A member of the state police.
The arrest of Manfrina follows
several years of suspicion by the
public that he was cohabitating with
his sister. According to comon talk,
two mixers visited the Manfrina re-
sort at Waterloo a few nights ago,
and acidently stumbled onto Manfrina
and his sister in a room. Taking this
rumor as a clue. the state police,
with witness, went to the resort
during Wednesday night, with the re-
suit of the warrant being issued.
Some years ago the Manfrina mat
ter was brought to the attention of
the grand jury. The sister would not
tell who the father of her child was,
but emphatically denied that it was
her brothers.

his machine on narrow portion of
the road and went hunting. In the

came disabled and when plaintiff
attempted to drive his car TO the

LIGHTNING
KILLS HORSES

In common with all sections of the
Pacific Coast, this section was visited
by violent thunder storm last
Thursday night, resulting in con-
siderable damage.
Lightning flashed continually for
several hours which was followed by
a heavy rain. At the VIM. Dressler
ranch. lightning struck In several
places, killing two horses and fright
ening others until they ran through
barbed-wire fences and were terribly
mangled. Four telephone poles were
hit and burned off close to the ground.
A pole on the Truckee River General
Electric eompany's line below Minden
was set on fire by lightning and the
system here was put out of commits
sion.
Two horses were killed in field
near Henry Godecke's ranch and the
water box at the head of the creek
1T John Christcr cen's ranch was
knocked into splinters.
Several Of the horses al the Dress
Ter ranch were so badly cut in the
wire fence that it was found necces-
sary to kill them.
Although the telephone lines on the
west side of the Valley were put out
of commission, the service was quick
ly restored by Il. J. Phillips, the
eompany's man:.ger.

chair it has been demonstrated con-
clusively that it is one of the most
easy of intellectual efforts for
scholastic idealist to dream dreams,
govern the world from a philosophers
chair, but that when it comes to deal
ing with flesh and blood. human
nature, economic conditions, and in
ternational problems as they are it
is an entirely different proposition.
1t is not dreams and theories but
facts and conditions that must be
considered, not abstract philosophy
but concrete wisdom that must be
used to effectively govern a people
in such manner as to surely safe
guard their rights and liberties and
advance their prosperity at home
and protect the national welfare and
maintain the dignity, honor, and
power of the Commonwealth abroad.
THE people have not forgotten
that after conference with the
President on diplomatic complica-
tions of an acute nature between our
Government and one of the European
belligerents, distinguished members
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee told Senators and Representa-
tives and even stated to newspaper
men that the President had become
very much excited during the con-
ference and in vehement manner
had said in effect, II might not be a
bad thing for civilization and would
hasten the end ii the United States
would enter the war on the side of the
allies
Early in his administration the
President was too pround to fight
even in defense of national honor;
later he was looking for an opportun-
ity to greak into war, today he
claims to be entirely. neutral; what
his attitude will be tomorrow nobody
knows"

his yacillating policy, putting on en-
bargoes one day and lifting them the
next. supporting one faction today and
another tomorrow, debating who
should not be candidate for the

ed purpose of compelling Huerta to
fire a salute of twenty-one guns to

Vara Cruz; the supply of note paper

but the salute was not fired. The
second punitive expedition was after

The President called for a con-

he would not recognize the leader of

Carranza was the only leader that re-

recognized him.

JOHN G. RUDOLPH DIES IN CHI
CAGO AFTER LINGERING
ILLNESS.
HELD MANY POSITIONS OF PUB
Lie TRUST IN EARLY DAYS
OF COUNTY.

In the passing into the Great Beyond
of John c.. Rudolph last Wednesday
morning, New Ulm and Brown county
loses not only one of its earliest pioneers,
who blazed the trail for future generations
but also citizen, who by precept and
example aided in the upbuilding of a
community whose welfare was always
dear to his heart. Although not endowed
with worldly goods to a degree which
might be termed Wealth, his generosity
to the needy or for worthy cause never
failed. Plain, outspoken and honest to
a fault, he might at times have profted
by passing over things he heard and saw,
but his nature rebelled at anything that
smacked of hypocrisy, and he voiced his
convictions in no uncertain terms. Those
who but occasionally came in contact
with him in business and in public life,
received the impression that he was curt
and sometimes unkindly, but to know
him better was to find beneath the outer
crust heart throbs Of sympathy, of love,
of kindness, which ever will remain fresh
in the memory of those who knew him
and liked him.

ago, first visiting in Minneapolis a few
days and then going to Chicago to take
up his residence at the home of his
daughter, where death overlook him.
The body was brought to New Ulm
last Friday and Sunday afternoon he was
laid to rest at the City cemetery by the
side of his wife who had preceded him
into that great and undiscovered country
from whence no traveller returns after
43 years of happiness of the home.
Funeral services were held at Turner
hall Sunday afternoon at 100 o'clock,
Capt. Albert Steinhauser officiating.
Fred Pfaender oficiated at the grave.
The deceased leaves one son and four
daughters to mourn his loss: Gustav
Rudolph of Minneapolis; Mrs. Olga
Atkinson of Los Angeles; Mrs. Henry
Engel and Miss Hedwig Rudolph of New
Ulm; Mrs. Emma Stages of New York
City and Mrs. Paula Gabel of Chicago.
! At the time of his death he was member
of the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
He had for years been member of the
Turnverein, but resigned when he failed
to find the spirit of the traditions of the
local society carried out by the younger
generation according to his ideals and
ideas.
