DRAFT CALLSFOR
143 FROM ELKO
Other Counties of State Will
Furnish Their Pro-
portion

According to the total figures given
out by the national government, an ap-
Proclamation indicates that the differ
ent counties OF the state will be called
upon to furnish the following number
as their quota of the selective draft:
Churchill, %; Clark, %; Douglas,
25; Elxo. 1873: Esmeralda, 80; Eureka,
21; Humboldt. 80; Lincoln. 46; Lyon,
Sc; Mineral. Sc; Nye, Is; Ormsby. IL:
Storey, 10; Washoe, 217; White Pine,
1893; Walker River reservation, 3.
The draft is proportioned to popula.
tion by an arbitrary, although fair,
rule.
The population is estimated by tax.
ing the total registration and applying
an arbitrary multiplication TO ii on
the theory that the registration Is nine
and fraction per cent of the total
population.
The draft is arrived at by first ap.
portioning the entire number needed
for the regular army, the national
guard and the first increment, among
the several states according to popu
lation. This Is the gross state quota
The net state quota Is reached by
crediting the states with the number
of men already furnished for the ma
tional guard and the regular army.
The quota for each county Is arrived
at by "A similar process, apDortionine
the county gross quota according tC
county population and giving the coun
ty credit for regular army enlistments
Nevada gets no credits for nationa
guard.
Lander county has furnished NOR,
men already than her gross. therefore
she il not called on to furnish men b!
draft.
As Elko County has furnished near
ly the full gross number, the numbe
drafted will be very small.

A Ford auto used by the state in

miles an hour when they struck a

a shaking up. Mr.. Henderson and Mr.

LITTLE CHILD DIES
FROM BLOOD POISON

Mclya, the nine year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. +. T. Wood, OF Wells,
died in Salt Lake City Saturday as a
result OF gas gangrene, caused by step
ping on a nail while playing At its
home couple of weeks ago.
The little one had taken off her
shoes to play and with her bare foot
stepped on nail. The wound did
not seem serious and she was given
the usual home remedies. After sew
eraI days it was seen that the wound
was getting worse and she was
brought to Elko for treatment. After
close examination the case was dag
noscd as gas gangrene and ii was
realized that il would be necessary to
disarticuIatc the limb at the hip to
save the little ones life. As there is
no place here at present for such an
operation the parents OF the child
were advised to take her to Salt Lake
City.
We sincerely sympathizC with the
grief stricken parents in their bcreavc
mcnt. II is sad blow to them, but
they should find comfort in the
thought that they did everything in
their power to save hCI.
