LON DUvAL PLEADS GUILTY
TO HORSE STEALING


A sensation was sprung in the Sam
Bachman horse stealing case yesterday
afternoon, when Lon Duval, Ruby
Valley rancher, who was arrested last
Monday for completely in the case, en-
tered plea of guilty and waived his
right to time of passing sentence. This
morning at 9:30 o'clock, he appeared
before the court and was sentenced to
term of one to fourteen years in the
state prison. An information charge
had been filed against him earlier in
the day by District Attorney Carville.
What effect the arrest and plea of
guilty on the part of Duval viii have
on the case of Bachman is yet to be
determined. 1t seems to bear out the
statements of Bachman that he bought
the horses which he shipped, but the
other indictment, that of driving
horses out of the county without in
speetion will probably in no way be
affected.
Both Bachman and Duva1 have been
residents of Ruby Valley for many
years. The former was indicted once
before on similar case, but on his
trial was found not guilty. This is the
first time that the latter has figured
in a case Of this nature.-Elko Inde-
pendent.

the newly, enfranchised women of Ne
vada, it is a significant and important
one. It's purpose is to make plans for
influencing by non-partisan work the
general election for the better govern
ment of Nevada, and to prepare the

POPULAR
AT HIGH SCHOOL

Since the close of the basketball sea
son considerable activity has beeh
shown in tennis and track. The einder
track has been put in excellent condi-
tion, a sawdust pit provided for the
jumping, and fair number are trying
out in the several events.
But in tennis we find the greatest
activity The court has been put in
splendid condition, a new net and a
box of balls purchased and the back
stops replaced. Two distinct tourna-
ments have been arranged, one for the
girls and one for the boys, and more
entries have been made in each than
was ever known before. Games in the
tournament began Monday and are
now in full swing. The courts are in
constant use during spare hours from
six O'Clock in the morning until dark
at night, and very wide range of
different students are getting the most
excellent physical exercise which the
game affords. This is an ideal condi-
ton. one towards which school author
tiles should constantly aim. Too often
the benefits of the exercise coming
from athletics are secured entirely by
those already strong and vigorous, and
the weaker ones, physically, get 40
benefit at ALL but such is not the ease
in this instance.
At present writing teams Nos. 3 and
are tied for first place among the
girls, and team No. among the boys,
although little attention is really be
ing paid to the matter of which team
is leading. 1t looks now as though the
handsome state trophy in the window
at the Krenkel & Bosch iewelry store
viii be able defended at Reno in May.

as the wife, brings out Interestingly
the personality of the non-moral, shall

and virile. worthy husband for the

(Robert McKim) The little daughter
is eharmingly played by diminutive
Thelma Salter. Chas. X. French is con-
vincing as the square, courageous Bird
shot Bivens Hart commands and
holds attention from the start, when
he appears as the ascetic and visionary
frontier missionary of Barren Gulch.
He is powerful by his restraint as well
as by his facial expressions, when he
appears as a man awakening to bad
dream after he hears of his wife S
elopement There is great climax in
the last scene, where the husband COM

playing the stage-struck girl, to realize
her ambition to shine in the theatrical
armament Hamilton is the handsome
matinee idol, and his Indifference to
the worshipful attitude of Miss Moran
is heightened by her attempts to win
him. As foils to Hamilton are Charles
Murray, the property man, and George
Summerville, the bill-poster, who are
constantly running into and over each
other in their wild attempts to win the
attention of Polly Moran. Harry Book
er, who plays the irate father of Pol

in view. While arrayed in bridal attire.
she suddenly gets the notion to essay
stage life and enlists the aid of Ham
ilton by promising to back a company
if she gets the chance to be the leading

her excitement, Miss Moran knocks
over her companions on the stage and
finally gets her dress caught on a
hook and is elevated half way to the
roof, while frantically struggling and
gestieulating for aid.

danced on the pavement. Since then
the city has worked out a plan for a
municipal dance hall. But certain mu-
steal enthusiasts, including Mayor
Preston and Mr.. F. r. Huber of the
Peabody Institute, decided that it would
be a good thing to use the band in
leading sort of public singing bee.
Mr.. Huber in particular has some
definite theories as to the psychological
effect and value of public singing in
chorus. He believes that ii is one of
the most potent influences for cement
ing good feeling among the singers
and for developing sentiments of pa
triotism and loyalty. He points to the
political and sentimental solidity of
the German nation as an example
Chorus singing is one Of the leading
indoor sports in Germany, and a gath
ering of any sort there is likely to be
marked by bursts of melody
Germany is lucky in having a. rich
stock of simple. meIodibus songs to
draw on which everybody knows. We
have something of the same sort in
this country. in our darby melodies and
