HORSE RUSTLERS
ARRESTED IN OREGON

About week ago Sheriff Harris
sent out postals requesting officers to
be on the lookout for eleven horses
belonging to ]. II. Hardman OF Gold
Creek, which had been stolen. Sat.
urday evening he received telegram
from the Sheriff at Vale. Oregon. an.
nouncing that he was holding three
men who had In their possession 10
head OF horses, the irons on which had
recently been altered. From the in.
formation received Sheriff Harris be.
lieves that part of the horses are the
Hardman horses. and the other eight
probably belong TO other stoCkmcn in
the northern part OF the county. The
sheriff started Sunday morning after
the men by auto. and Mr.. Hardman
has gone TO identify the horses.
The men have expressed willing
ness to return without process of ex-
tradition, which probably means that
they will take plea Of guilty. If the
horses In their possession prove to be
the Hardman horses.
At noon today no word had been re-
ceiyed from the sheriff. He will prob.
ably telegraph as soon aB he reaches
Vale.
The men gave the names OF Arthur
and Elder James and Mack Mckenzie.

HOLDING TAXES BACK

Less than twenty per cent OF tho
retail liquor dealers throughout the
state have paid their government tax
OF S25. due before July l, according
to W. A. Kelly, deputy internal re-
venue collector.
1t is thought that the dealers are
holding up the tax in anticipation of
some prohibition legislation being
passed by congress within the next
few weeks.
Under the law the tax is to be paid
before July !, the same as other gov
ernment taxes, but through a ruling of
the department dealers in outlying
communities are allowed thirty days
grace in which to send in their tax.
Few OF these dealers have sent in
their money.
"If congress should pass a prohibi
tion measure July 2.'' said Mr.. Kelly
ALI dealers who have not paid thei
tax for the year would be liable L
/ urrcst The fact that they are hold
/ ing up the money until late will no
/ gain them anything in the end as the!
will all be forced to pay"

ELKO COUNTY
GIVES $1,000
People Respond to Red Cross
Call in Most Patriotic and
Generous Manner

Again has Elko county responded
most literally to the call OF Uncle
Sam for assistance in the war with
Germany. At late hour this after.
noon Treasurer John Henderson an.
nounced that the Elko County Red
Cross Fund had reached considerable
more than $4,000. and that number
Of sections Of the county are yet to
be heard from. II Is estimated that
when all the county returns arrive the
sum will exceed $1,000.
When President Wilson issued a
call for volunteers. Elko county was
one of the first to furnish its quota
When two billion dollars in bonds
were offered for sale to supply funds
for war purposes, Elko county sub.
scribed for nearly twice as much as
was expected. In the last call for one
hundred million dollars for Red Cross
purposes, again Elko county heads the
list with far more than her proportion
II is good to live in community oI
this kind. 1t is the best county Of
| the best state of the best nation In
the world, and we are proud to cal
| it home.
