THE YER|NCTON CITY
BAND NEEDS HELP

Those present at the farewell gwen
the boys of the selective draft realize
that the band is sadly in need of as
sistance. Although those present did
exceedingly we'll, the addition of a
good cornet player and two or three
other instruments would have made a
big difference in the music rendered
on that occasion.
With the cooperation of the bust
ness men OF Yerington and little
financial aid we can have one OF the
best band in the state We need a
position for a good cornet player at
once.
There are times when a good band
is worth the amount required to main
tain it, To finance the band will cost
about 500 per month, which includes
lnll rent, lights, music, and leaders
salary. If every one would consider
this business proposition, it would be
an easy matter for the e,finance commit
tee to do their duty

The mine, which was discovered
more than ten years ago, was original

DARING ROBBERY AT
Nevada HOT SPRINGS
ROBBERS SECURE $500, INCL $240 IN CHECKS

Thursday night, about 1920, two
masked men entered the bar-room
at Hot Springs just as Alex. Ross was
ready to close up. They attacked him
clubbing him with revolver, until he
fell, then entered the bed room where
Mike Sava, the proprietor had already
retired, and beat him into insensibility
When Mrs. Owsley, the housekeeper,
tried to help the men they fired a shot
at her, just grazing her left shoulder,
and burning hole in the clothes of
her gown. z
When the robbers had crowded
them all into one room, they made a
thorough search of the trunks, secur-
ing $500, OF which $240 was in checks
and the rest cash, diamond ring and
diamond necklace which had been the
property OF Mrs. Sava before her
death. One of the checks was on
Reno bank and one on the Mason
Valley.
The men who did the job were
very well aquainted with the place,
and the whole affair was we'll planned
before they tackled the job. They

building and then west on Pearl street
to Main street. The special reason
for this is that number of tax payers
in that part are entirely without city
water and that the Grammar school
is on dead end.
The question of closing ordinance
for saloons was then taken up and it
was voted to order such an ordinance
prepared which is being done. and
the same will be read for the first time
at "a recessed meeting on Monday
night of next week. 1t will be publish
ed and voted upon at the first regular
meeting in October The concensus
of opinion seems to be that it will
pass so all of the saloons and road
houses will be under the same restric-
ton.

Miss Sybil Johnston Of Yerington
Miss Emma Payson and her brother
Howard, and a party of friends from
Los Angeles, started out Saturday
evening, September 8 for an auto trip
to San Jose The driver, being a
stranger in the city, did not know the
streets so acted under instructions
from those in the car. They took a
road, which to all appearances was
clear. The street was paved to the
edge of 20-foot embankment and
no danger lights were placed on the
edge.

change in the character of the ore de-

became more valuable as a copper
mine than as a gold producer.
Considerable important develop
ment work is being done by Cowan
and his associates and now that they
are in control, the campaign will prob
ably become more active. Electric
power lines from the present termin-
ais are being extended to the property
and crew of men are making good
progress in sinking.
The deal which changed the control
was negotiated by Carl Stoddard OF
Reno.
