Refusal of Agent to Show Credentials
Causes Trouble

That the arrest of Reynolds would
never occurred, and all the trouble
would have been aveited had Rey-
nolds assisted in establishing his in
nocence instead of defying the officers,
is the statement made by District At
torney Campbell.
Mr. Campbell stated that Reynolds
insured Butula and collected a prem
ium of $l72.86. which was paid him in
cash. giving receipt signed by him
self, but not as an agent for the COM
pany.
Mr.. Campbell happened to be in
Wabuska at the time and arrived on
the scene just afte. Butulia, who be-
came uspicious of the transaction,
pulled Reynolds off the car and struck
him on the head. Mr.. Campbell asked
Reynolds to show his credentials,
unaware at the time of the hstic en-
counter, and there was considerable
wrangling as to his authority, on the
part of Reynolds, which resulted I'M
his arrest after the District Attorney
had made a thorough examination of
the case. Mr. Campbell wired the
Reno agent of the New York Life
receiving the following reply:
Reynolds contract not completed;
Demand return of rsoney; no author
ity to collect" Signed A. ]. RUCH.
Mr.. Campbell phoned Buckley at
Wabuska to serve the warrant that
had been sworn to but not served, up
on receipt of this wire. Mr. Reynolds
was arrested that evening and held till
the following afternoon in Wabuska,
ey To-, -,
Mr.. North, the State supervisor for
the company, acting under a wire
from Reno, wired from Las Vegas,
that Reynolds was working by his
authority, and followed his wire, ap-
peared en- the scene the next day. The
case came up before Justice Fothcr-
gill and was dismissed as no crime
had been committed.
Mr.. North stated the Reno Office
was in error through the sending of
the wires, as Reynolds was directly
under his authority. Ruch arrived
from Reno and claimed the money
Buckley, who held it subject to the
Strengthening out of the tangle, gave
it to him, as Butula was satisfied TO
let the original deal go through; and
as result, is insured to the extent Of
four thousand dollars Reynolds
withdraws the charges of assault with
intent to kill, which he had made
against Butulia, and explained that the
blow he received on the head made
him sosangry he lost his wits, where
as. had he possessed clear head, the
affairs could have been explained TO
the satisfaction of all parties.

HERE'S 10 BABY WEEK
By HI. C. Mortenson
(Copywright Reservei)

(Copywright Resezvei)
Ne come into this world without our
consent
And some say to taeir sorrow;
HIT of our lot we should be content
And not of trouble borrow.
When first we arrive
We receive the love OF mothers;
Upon this love we thrive
And: are source of trouble to
5otaers.
Later when we walk and talk
We do not say many things;
OF which we had given little thought
That often carry stings.
In. the natural course of life.
Some of us acquire wife;
Often | am sorr to relate
We do not choose the proper mate
He whose one desire
Is forvriches to acquire,
Before he dies will relent
For. with riches only ones no
content.
He who has not caused a birth
Has not lived upon this earth:
And you will never see his name
Written in the hall of fame.
He has really lived content
Vino of his riches gladly spent,
That some one else might happy be
He surely lives. in eternity.

Old RESIDENT
PASSES out

The death of ]. D. Collins at Butte,
Montana, will cause many old resi-
dents of Mason Valley to pause, and
remember many incidents in the life
of man who was closely associated
with the progress and development
of this section. Mr.. Collins crossed
the plains in the early COS in company
with Tom Hall. The old boom camps
of Nevada were his stamping ground,
before settling in Mason Valley. He
came here in 1888 and opened black
smith shop, which he ran successfully
till his departure for Butte two years
ago, where he made his residence with
his married daughter. Collins was q
member of Mason Valley Lodge No.
81. Order of Odd Fellows, and was
very active in all lodge matters. At
the time of his death he was attending
gathering of Odd Fellows in their
all at Butte.
A very touching incident happened
during his last moments showing the
great feeling Of love and friendship
that he possessed for his many friends
here. While sheld in the. arms oi
with but short moment to
live, he told them with pride Of the
gold headed cxne presented to him by
Yrington Lodge and with the closing
of the last sentence passed away.
He was buried under the auspices
of the Butte Lodge of Odd Fellows
over 200 members attended the fun

OUR PROGRESS As A Ma
ton VS.. FRICTION
OR LOSS OF MOTION
(By H. c. Mortenson)

My object in writing this article is
to endeavor, through comparison, to
throw some light on subject of vital
importance at the present time. We
are prone to belittle some OF life's
serious problems, placing our faith in
the fact, that at present everything IS
10 look to the future, and prepare foi
the the unexpected.
We are told by scientists and mer
of learning, that to create a mechani4
cal device to run indefinitely by power
generated by itself is an impossibility
Owing to friction that causes the loss
of motion, such machine is beyond
the work of man. There must be
some propelling force to constantly
supply the energy necessary to all ma
chinery This, law is supreme, ano
applies to the human machine as we'll
The food we eat and the air We
breathe, supply the human machine
with energy that is necessary for it
various organs to perform their prop
er functions. Were it not for frictiot
| in the guise of disease germs, which
through mans ignorance in the care

destroys vitality, offsetting the worl
of the germs health that tend to re
construct. there is no telling how lonl
man would live.
| While the energy necessary II

from external sources, so also are tn
germs of disease which constitutl
the friction that retards its speed anf
eventually causes it to stop.
So let take mans greed for none

BABY -DAY.ON
MARCH FOURTH

The Woman's Club of Yerington
following the lead of the American
Federation of Women's Clubs, have
designated March 4th as Baby Day
in Yerington. Exercises will be held
in the high school auditorium at 2 p
m. An excellent program is to be
rendered.
1t is fitting that few words should
be written to try and impress upon
the minds of the people of Mason
Valley the Importance of this event
We as nation leave the care of the
child to its parents, which
according to the law of man is the
proper thing to do. But the law pro
vdes that the child, till il becomes Of
age, should be properly maintained
and cared for. This provision of the
law has been left largely with the par
-ents themselves to define, and has re
suited in fragrant abuse on their part
in many instances. Our children are
the reincarnation of our own person
aiities, and live after we depart from
this planet, either as a superior or in
ferior personality, according to the
care and treatment received while in
the progress of development. There
is more care given by the average far
mer to breeding and caring for his
stock than there is by, the average par
'ent to the child. Just stop and thinE
of this. A human atom, the child, with
the wonderful possibilitie, for the de-
velopment of creative genius, a mem
Der of the human race, whose power is
paramount over all other forms of life
on this earth; given secondary con.
sideration to the animal.
1t is safe to say that cattle show
or an agricultural exhibit would boas,
a larger attendance on the part of the
male sex, than this Baby Show. Men
and women show an interest in the
child, and express your appreciation
of the efforts ofathe Woman's Club
of Yerington by Your attendance al
the high school on March 4tf.

for president today.
Illinois is for Sherman and has no
second choice" said Mr.. Sterling. He
would unite all factions in the party
and could win in November. The can
didate this year will come from the
central west and Sherman in my judg-
ment is the logical candidate. Some
people refer to Sherman with derision
as a county fair orator. They said the
same thing about Lincoln. 1t is the
people of the county fair kind who
will elect the next president in No

opinion that their candidate was grow

the race after the first few ballots in
the convention.
