GUARDS NOW STATIONED
AT LAHONTAN RESERVOIR
Visitors Now Allowed to Cross Struc.
ture Without "A Special Permit
From Project Manager

For some time armed guards have
been on duty at the Lahontan dam
to protect the structure from pos
sible damage by eranks or foreign
sympathizers. The force has been
increased by the addition of some
members of the State Police force.
Nevada is without a National Guard
and soldiers from the regular army
cannot be spared at this time for
duty at the dam. Governor Boyle
has come to the assistance of the To-
cal project and county officials by
supplying the necessary guards from
the State police force.
A temporary change has been
made in the arrangements of the
roads in the vicinity of the dam to
provide for moving the main travel
ed road as far away from the strue-
ture as possible. The road as
changed will pass over the old wood
en- bridge across the Truekee canal,
thence west past the north side of
the machine shops and connecting
with the road where it formerly
turned to cross the concrete bridge
over the canal have been closed and
travellers will not be permitted to
drive across the dam or go upon the
reservoir, into the power house. or
about any other of the structures at
the dam without special permission
from the Project Manager. Strict
instructions have been given the
guards to prevent anyone from en-
tering the premises without a spec
ial permit; this action having been
deemed essential as q proper pre-
cautionary measure. People on the
project who are desirous of visiting
the dam should first secure a permit
from the Project Manager as all will
look alike to the guards at the dam
and none will be permitted access to
any of the property unless especially
authorized.

FEDERAL LAND BANKS ONLY
LOAN ON PATENTED LANDS

In reply to a question as to the
tatus of homesteaders in making
publications. for loans to the Federal
nd Loan Bank. r. L. Douglass has
SUI mitted the query to the Registrar
and Attorney for the Banks at
Washington and received the follow
ing reply by telegraph:
Replying to your inquiry as to
whether persons holding lands under
Homestead or desert claims can bor-
ow money under the Federal Farm
Loan Act, | will say that under the
provisions of said act as construed
by the Federal Farm Loan Board at
Washington. the holders of lands
under homestead or desert claims
oannot borrow money from any of
the Federal land banks until patents
for their lands have actually been
issued.
This may be construed as mean
ing that after homesteaders have
made final proof on their claims,
they may secure patent and thus
come under the provisions of the
Act, but not before. There are sew
eral close legal questions involved
in the Act insofar as it may or may
not apply to settlers on government
reclamation projects. II is more
than probable that in view of the
exigencies that have arisen as the
out come OF the declaration of war
and the necessities of the cultivation
of the ultimate acreage OF the
country, that this question will come
before Congress at the present ses-
sion and remedial legislation passed
that will in some manner remove the
disability under which such settlers
now labor.

praised by the loan board before
they can be considered by the Fed
eral Loan Bank. The final meeting
on these original applications will
be held at the courthouse next Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock.
Under the law as it now stands
only those lands held under U. s.
patent or acquired under vested
rights can come under the proyis-
ions of the Federal act. This will
exclude the lands of the homestead
ers until after the organization of
the irrigation district, which can as
sumo the government liens and thus
remove the disability under which
they now labor. 1t is to be hoped
that no time will be lost in perfect
ing this latter organization and thus
permit those who are most urgently
in need OF funds to come under the
privileges of the law.

time to time and that frequently he
had bought as many as a half dozen
head at a time. But in this instance
the fact that he had slaughtered six
at once called forth comment at
the shop, especially in the light of
the reported loss of cattle from the
Levy herd and the presence in the
lot of a steer of unusual size and
weight, corresponding TO the large
black steer that was missing from
the Levy herd. Mr.. Dolf testi-
fed that he had interviewed
Swift before his arrest and asked
him about the six head in question.
Swift disclaimed any knowledge of
the theft of the cattle, but when
confronted with the query as to
what he had done with the six hides
answered, THAT is hard one" He
finally explained that someone, be-
tween Saturday and Monday, had
broken into the hide shed and taken
them.
Lester Page, an empoylee of the
Fallon S. & S. Co., testified that he
had cleaned out the incinerating fur
mace at the slaughter house and
found scraps of partly burned hides.

Wildes.

District Attorney G. J. Kenny, as
sisted by A. N. Salisbury, an attorney
from Reno, conducted the prosecu-

AT the conclusion of the testimony
Judge Jones bound the defendants
over to the District Court under $4,-

DEMAND FOR FLAGS Is
CAUSING A SHORTAGE

Because a wave of patriotism such
as the land has not seen since the
Spanish war is sweeping the coun-
try, with the result that every pa
triot is desirous of flinging the Stars
and Stripes to the breeze, a shortage
of flags is reported by dealers every
where. Stocks on hand were speed
lily bought up last week and although
manufacturers have been working at
high speed dealers report that the
demand is so great that orders can
not be filled without considerable de-
lay. In the meantime many who
would like to decorate with flags
have been compelled to wait.

ALLEGED CATTLE THIEVES
HELD UNDER $4,000 BONDS
Sepulveda Makes Confession and
Appears As Witness for Prosecu-
tion at Preliminary Hearing

The preliminary examination of
Lee Sepulyeda, Guy Mitchell and
William Swift, charged with cattle
stealing was held before Justice of
the Peace T. A Jones in the district
courtroom at the courthouse last
Wednesday.
Following the sensational arrest
of the young men a couple of weeks
ago, it has been currently rumored
that Sepulveda had made a clean
breast of the affair and would ap-
pear as a witness for the prosecu-
tion. This was borne out last We'd
nesday, when young Sepulveda
waived examination and was placed
upon the stand to tell the story of
the night ride that resulted in the
taking of six head of cattle from the
Williams Estate Co. corral, where
they were being held preparatory to
shipment by Alex Weiland for Henry
Levy of San Francisco. Sepulveda
said that Mitchell made the propo-
sition to him while they were in bed
in a local hotel. telling him it was
a chance to pick up a little "easy
money" Accordingly they saddled
their horses late in the evening and
proceeded to the corrals, where Sc
pulveda stood guard at the gate
while Mitchell parted out the six
head of cattle, including the big
black steer, which became a notable
feature of the evidence as after
wards transpired Together they
drove the stock southwark around
the suburbs of the town to the
slaughter house of the Failon
slaughtering and Supply Co., where
Swift was awaiting them and after
weighing them in gave q tag for the
weights and amount due, which was
to be converted into a check by the
cashier of the company upon presen
tation. The price agreed upon was
6A per pound, which, upon the
6,140 pounds weighed in amounted
to s396.25.
The tag was made out in the name
of L. Holt and was presented the
next morning at the Office of the
Fallon Slaughtering & Supply Co.
| by Sepulveda and he received
check for s396.25. Meanwhile, ae-
cording to Sepulveda's story. Mitch
ell was waiting for him at the pool
hall, and there Mitchell is supposed
to have endorsed the check with the
name of L. Holt and Sepulveda went
to the bank and secured the cash.
The twain then proceeded to the
rear room of a local saloon where
they divided the money into thirds.
Sepulveda later giving Swift his
share of the proceeds at the Church
i'll hotel, where they met by ap-
pointment in the hall and left by diff
ferent exits. Sepulyeda told his
story in minute detail explaining in
one instance how they had spent
couple of dollars for drinks which
was taken from Swifts share; that
he had told Swift that he would pay
him this amount later and was as
sured that this would be all right
and that he could hand it to him at
any time.
Thos. Dolf, Manager for the Fal-
Ion S. & S. Co, explained Swift's
position with the company and stat
ed that he had been entrusted with
the business of buying cattle from
