JAS. NJ 'CONAGHY
FOUND DEAD
Lifeless Body of Bullion Mining
Man Found Near Tannery
This Morning

The body of James McConaghy, a
well known Bullion mining man, was
found in a ditch this morning near
the Elko tannery. Life had been ex.
tinct for a number of hours, death
having come about midnight. From
the position of the body ii cannot be
said whether the deceased fell or
was thrown into the ditch, but It was
probably the latter. The body was
face down, and the face was buried in
the mud. Death probably resulted
from suffocation.
In his pockets were found a small
amount of change, checks books and
other papers. There are no marks
of violence on the body, but it is said
that yesterday the deceased had a
watch and more than thirty dollars
on his person.
An inquest will be held this even
ing or tomorrow morning, and IL is
probable that an autopsy will be per.
formed, TO determine If possible, the
cause of death.
The deceased has been in this sec.
tion for number of years, and was
well known and well respected He
is brother OF John McConaghy, one
of the most prominent mining men in
the Bullion district.

GERMANS PARLEY
FOR PEACE WITH
RUSS SOLDIERS
On Many Sections of the Minsk
Front no Shots Have Been
Fired For Days


PETROGRAD, April 26.-A teIe.
gram from Riga indicates that Ger.
mans are continuing their attempts to
parley with the Russian soldiers. At
one place the Germans displayed a
placard on which was written: Rus.
SLAMS. Do Not Attack; We Will Not
Attack"
On many sectors of the Minsk front
in the last few days the German SOL
diers have not fired a shot, evidently
basing a fond hope on the result of
the Russian soldiers conference at
Minsk
Airplanes have dropped proclama.
tions which allege that there is n popu-
lar movement in Germany in favor OF
the cessation of hostilities and pro.
pose the initiation on peace negotia-
tions mutually on honorable condi.
tions.
Dispatches from Kiev report that ar.
rivals from the front are recounting
many instances of parties of Germans
and Austrians carrying red and white
flags striving TO reach the Russian
lines. In one instance n number of
them reached the Russian wire en-
tanglements and were taken prisoners.
They told of the desire in the euton
ranks for immediate peace.

der the constitution than those who

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

II having been brought to my knowl.
edge that the public is under the i'm
preston that, under the laws OF 1917,
IL is lawful to use the spawn, eggs or
eva OF fish as bait, and after reading
the section relating thereto, hold the
bait. The section referred TO will be
found on page 464 section 80 OF the
laws OF 1911. Said law being held
and recognized AS prohibiting the use
of spawn. eggs or ova as bait, held
that section 80 OF the laws of 1917
Is also prohibited. In view of that
fact ! submitted the question TO the
encouragement and am upheld in my
position in the following letter:
Carson City, New. April 81, 1917
Hon. c. w. Grover,
state Fish and Game Warden,
Carson City. Nevada.
Dear Sir:
II am In receipt of your favor OF
this date requesting Interpretation OF
Section 80, page 464, laws of 1917
and calling my attention to a similar
enactment contained in section 3,
page 81 of the laws OF 1911, relative to
fishing with the spawn of fish.
Said section 80 provides 1t shall
be unlawful for any person or per.
sons. firm, company or corporation to
take, catch or kill or attempt TO
take, catch or kill In or from any
stream, lake or river, or in any waters
of the state of Nevada, any trout, sal
mon or white fish, bass, perch, cat
fish or any other fish of any species
whatever with or by means of any
bait constituted or prepared in whole
or in part from the spawn, eggs or ova
of trout. salmon or any other species
OF fish whatever
Il am of the opinion that said sec.
ton absolutely prohibits fishing with
the spawn. eggs or ova of any spe.
cies OF fish.
Very respectfully.
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
by Ewd. T. Patrick"
In accordance with the above facts,
wish to warn the public that the
uso OF spawn, ova or eggs of any
species of fish OF the state of Nevada,
for bait in any manner whatever Is
forbidden and request all deputy
wardens, all peace officers and all
agents of the Fish and Game com.
mission to see that the law relating
to the same Is strictly enforced.
Any person or persons. firm, com
pany. corporation or association ol
this state, who shall violate any OF
the provisions OF this act, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor; and
upon conviction thereof shall be
fined in any sum not less than fifty
dollars, nor more than two hundred
and fifty dollars, or by Imprisonment
in the county Jail wherein the. con
ylction Is had, for any term not less
than twenty-five days. nor more than
