900 square miles, slightly more than
Ohio and a little less than Tennes-
see.
1t has been proposed to name the
new state, the northern half of Flor
ida, Jefferson, in honor of Thomas
Jefferson, while the south half would
retain the name of Florida.
The suggestion for the division of
the State into two states was made
as early as 1914 but the matter was
dropped. Recently the State has
been thrown into a turmoil over the
selection OF a Democratic candidate
for governor. The northei part of
the state is pulling in one direction
and the other part in another. The
northern part of the state IS inclin-
ed to prohibition, while to south
ern part, with Key West and Tampa,
the old order of things.
While no formal ceEpaifn has bee
launched looking 10 creating ssnti-
ment for division of the state the
prospects are that one viii be under
way before many months.

Auto Accident m Reno

Charles O'Dell, a chauffeur, Chas.
Clegg, a mechanic, and an uniden-
tilted woman narrowly escaped
death a few days ago while speed
ing along Riverside Drive in Reno
at a tremendous rate. The car ran
into an obstruction at the foot OF
Stevenson street, turning it COM
pletely over and throwing its oC-
cupants into a pile of debris ID
feet away. Clegg and O'Dell were
badly shaken up and bruised, but
the woman escaped without appar-
ent injury and after shrieking loud
ly for help, disappeared up an al
ley when the ambulance appeared.
The car was going at such a rate
of speed that it travelled PA feet
after the brakes had been applied.
The men are in the hospital suffer-
ing from slight conclusion of the
brain, but doctors say they are
not fatally hurt.

COMSTOCK MINES ARE
INFESTED WITH RATS
WHITE RODENTS ORIGINALLY
BROUGHT TO AMUSE OCCU-
PANTS OF JAIL

Il is a jact perhaps not generally
known hat the sewers of Virginia
CT are infested with Whi1e rats and
in such numbers as t. prove a great
nuisance, so much so hal war has
been declared upon them. The
story goes that many years ago,
wien the federal prisoners were
housed at the Storey county jail, a
prisoner brought a pair of rats with
him, which were the beginning of
a family tree of rats that numbers
we'll up into the thousands. n
the streets hundreds of rats we're
driven out, and in some cases
where caves had occurred the rats
have taken practical possession Of
some houses. These rats are less
vicious than their brown cousins
and some people have made pets of
them. And, speaking of rats, the
North End mines have long housed
many of them, but it is only COM
paratively recently that they have
found their way into Gold Hill.
When the Crown Point connection
was made with the Sutro tunnel the
North End rats very soon migrated
to the Gold Hill mines. but they are
now returning to their old homes
at the North End, driven out of the
Jacket by the gases from the recent
fire.--Tonopah Bonanza.

W|NGF|ELD COLT
Wins BIG EVENT
JOCKEY GROTH RULED OFF FOR
LIFE FOR FOUL RID
ING

Bank, the $4,000 colt owned by
George Wingfield, captured the Ne
vada Derby, run at the fair grounds
in Reno on Saturday, and establish
ed a new track record for a ME
and one-eighth,, covering the dis,
lance in 1925 in the presence
of over 5000 people. Ed Cudihee
was second and Slippery Elm third.
AS the result of a foul committed
by Jockey Groth, who rode Sangallo,
he was ruled off the turf for life, it
being the opinion of the stewards
and judges that his action was the
most vilainOus ever witnessed on
an American track. When the
horses neared the half pole Groth,
who was on the heavy favorite. at
tempted to trap Phillips, on Ban 3.
by pulling away fromthe rail.
Phillips was as tricky as Gorth
and refused to be pocketed, the boy
continuing to take the pace until
the back turn. when he began TO
move up. t was 1t this point that
Groth reached out and attempted to
obtain a hold on the saddle cloth on
Bank. Again, in the stretch, he
deliberately swerved out in front of
Slippery Elm.
rs he did so, Phillips on Bank
saw his opportunity and came fas'
CT the rail. AS he was about t.
pass Sangallo. Groth reached out
and pulled at the saddle under Phil
lips. Had he not committed the Cwo
fouls he might have won the big
race, but as it was his mount lost
by the shortest of noses.
