With improvements being made by

outsiders for sites for cottages, the
chautauqua grounds at Lake Madison
are becoming one of the most attrac-

slopes and excellent lake front are
the primary attractions of course, but
with the later improvement in the
of lights and a fully equipped
boat and bath house the demand is
gaining impetus with each year.
Twelve new cottages have been
added to the number already there.

STRANGE BIRD
MOCkING BIRD WANDERS To

SUMMER, PERHAPS.

A strange bird. with a crippled
wing, in the gardens of +. b. Kellogg
attracted his attention this week. and
after a short pursuit he captured the
wanderer. The bird was of a species
unknown to MIR. Kellogg. and being
interested somewhat in amateur orni-
thology. he determined if possible TO
find out what it was.
The bird in question was of com
paratively long body. graceful of
outline and with quick, graceful and
restless motions. Its color was
brown on the back, shading to a sort
of mouse gray on the breast. The
long tail was edged with white feath-
ers, and the wings marked with light
er feathers than the body, shading to
a rich brown at the edges. When
taken in the hand it defended itself
with sharp beak and strong, sharp
claws. Mr.. Kellogg says. easily break
ing the skin of the hand.
Mr.. Kellogg placed the bird in a
small yard which was fenced with
chicken netting, and referred the
matter TO his son, l.. C. Kellogg. To-

seemed to be excessive, and will re-
ceiye further consideration before

$32,464 for the lowest bid, while the

Gifts for ditch No. 9. There appears
to be considerable friction between
some of the land owners as to the

to this. as his water is thrown into a

WAR CROSS AWARDED TO
BENJAMIN H. BURTON, R.
Nephew OF A. c. Burton Honored for
Distinguished Bravery; Is
Well Known Here

Cable dispatches from Paris to the
press of America announce that a
War Cross has been awarded to Ben
jamin II. Burton, Jr., of Colusa, Cal
ifornia, who with companion drove
q motor truck under heavy bom-
hardment, two men with them at the
time being killed.
This story has local interest
Through the fact that the young
man so honored is the nephew of A.
G. Burton of Fallon, and who a few
years ago spent portion of his va
cation in the store of his uncle and
made many friends during his stay.
The particular occasion which
brought the much priced war cross
to young Burton was not the first
time in which he had an opportuni-
ty of displaying courage and STRAIT
egy, as only a short time previously
he found himself in the line of fire
with the road strewn with dead ami
mails, and only by the exercise of
much care and caution did he sue
ceed in reaching theb ase hospital.
These splendid sons of America
who are acquitting themselves so
proudly in this greatest of all wars
reflect in their brave and cheerful
response to every demand made up
on them, the proud boast of this Ma
tion that although abhorring the
thought of being a conquering one
the spirit of Democracy is so deeply
imbued in its citizenship that they
count it q glory to surrender their
lives if need be for the freedom of
man.
Burton Is a University of Californ-
la man where he took course In
Letters and Science, and a classmate
Herbert Hope of Healdsburg, who
was also honored with the War
Cross, is with him as an ambulance
driver at the front.
The awards to these young men
we're made for services performed
previous to the time when the sec
tions to which they were attached
were incorporated in the American

Girls and boys of the Lyon county

Churchill county boys and girls in
basketball games last Saturday
evening. The score of the girls
game was Is to 16 on the Yerington
floor; of the boys game in Fallon,

The Girls Trip
The local girls had not counted on
making the trip this week until word
was received Friday evening that
| tickets we're all sold and arrange
ments all made for the game in &C
cordance with an earlier under
standing. Word was passed around
among the team members, cars were
engaged, and the crowd left the
! High School at 1920 Saturday
morning. Lester Moody in a Cadil-
lac and Margaret Dolf in a Hudson
Super Six were drivers and made a
safe and reasonably quick trip,
against a heavy wind, over the SO
miles of desert intervening between
Fallon and Yerington.
After a little workout on the Yer

and observing crowd of Yerington
partisans and players, and n carly
but bountiful supper the [ Tls re-
assembled for the seasons S first
game. Both teams showed early
season inexperience and lack of GER
tainty, but all did their best and the
contest was as close as could well be.
The Fallon girls surpassed their op-
ponents one point In each half and
ended on the satisfying side OF an
1916 score. Yerington made IA
points on field goals and and 2 from
fouls; Fallon made IL points on
field goals and from free tries.
Yerington had decided advantage in
the height of their center but other
wise the teams were we'll matched
Especially noteworthy we're Captain
Margaret Dolf's quickness and stead
mess. She piloted a heavy and well
loaded car over desert roads in the
teeth of a 4S-mile-an-hour gale,
threw field goals on strange
floor, and converted out of tries
for free goal, thus making all Of
Fallon's Is points.
The floor was good, the officiating
close and Just, the crowd courteous,
and the hospitality shown the visi-
tors hearty and gracious. The Yer
ington coach was away on vaca-
ton, and the girls deserve much
credit for their unassisted handling
of the game.
The Fallon crowd was composed
as follows: Forwards; Captain Mar
garet Dolf. and Gladys Maxwell;
centers, Fay Moody and Evelyn
Steinbrook; guards. Clarita Fortune,
Grace Mills, Greeta Ferguson; sub
stitute forward. Vera Wickland.
Miss Ealand and Mr.. McKillop ac-

and coach.
Boys Game
The Yerington boys made game
effort in the Saturday evening game
at Clark's Pavilion, but suffered
from the handieaps of size, inexperi-
enee, and strangeness to our floor.
The local boys, after enjoying an
abundant Thanksgiving, played with
rather less than their ususal speed
and aggressiveness but were able to
pile up a substantial score. Only
two of their points were made from
fouls. Field goals were thrown as
follows: Captain Howard Young, Z;
Norman Bendle. at center, 5; Harry
Hartman, Guard, 3; Walter Dudley,
forward, @ The attendance was
small but enthusiastic.
