ANOTHER KILLING
At NTH CITY
Arthur Bowman Dead and Viii
liam Davidson Said to Be
Mortally Wounded

A telephone message received last
evening from Mountain City an.
nounced that arthur Bowman and
William Davidson had been mortally
wounded at that place yesterday after.
noon about four o'clock by Dave Kunz,
another well known resident of that
place. Another message received this
morning announced that Bowman had
died and that no hope was entertained
for the recovery OF Davidson. Kunz
is being held until the arrival of the
sheriff and district attorney, who start
ed for the scene OF the tragedy as soon
as the news was received.
1t has been impossible TO get the
particulars of the affair, owing to a
disinclination of the people Of Noun
tain City to discuss II over the tele
phone. But from what we are able to
learn II is an outgrowth of the killing
of Billy Billings at that place several
years ago by Jerry Huber. Since
that time there have been two factions
III hlaN NlSlbibgI SCll
ones there was considerable feeling.
Bowman was a brother-in-law of HUI
ber's and tcot an active part in his de-
tense.
From one source 1t is reported that
Kunz was badly intoxicated yesterday.
and that he had trouble with Bowman
over some land. The latter. IT is said,
had just returned to Mountain City
with the mail stage, and had not been
drinking.
All of the men are well known, and
have resided in that community for
many years. Kunz, the man who did
the shooting, has the reputation of be-
ing a sober and Industrious man, and
by no means quarelsome. He is about
sixty-five years of age. Bowman is
about thirty-eIght, and Davidson Is
about sixty.
1t will probably be impossible to get
particulars of the affair until the re.
turn OF the officers, who expect to
reach Mountain City this evening.

PARIS, April 25.-Count Romanones
in an interview with the Madrid CORE.
spondent OF the Petit Partisan, de-

blockaded. We neutrals, than England.
Our ships stay in ports, business is

While they ruin us, the Germans
are carrying on unbridled propaganda
here. They are trying to frighten the

war in their newspapers.
Nevertheless, South American ma

WINGFIELD TENDERS
FARM TO GOVERNMENT

For the purpose of increasing the
supply of war horses, of which there is
now great scarcity, George Wing
/ field, in behalf OF the Nevada stock
farm, last night announced that the
breeding services OF several high class
animals at the farm will be placed at
the free disposal of the government or
individual owners of certain types of
mares. This proposal includes the
thoroughbreds Montgomery and Os.
saany and the Arabian Sey Yid, which
are now located at the Nevada stock
farm on the Virginia road, near Moana
springs.
This offer Is made from purely pa
triotic standpoint" said Wingfleld, "be
cause of the urgent need for increasing
the supply of horses suitable for war
purposes. II e. Humphrey. w. II.
Moffatt and T.. self, whc own the Ne
vada stock farm, have already ten
dered to the government all the horses
we have that are suitable for cavalry
service, and we believe that the best
types of horses for that purpose should
contain n thoroughbred strain.

, ton possible for increasing the supply
of good war horses, and have therefore
decided upon this announcement as n
means for so doing.'-Carson Appeal.

TONGUE TREASON
MAY BE PUNISHABLE

Many inquiries have been received
by the federal officials as to how to
proceed in cases where men talk trea-
son or curse the government because
of the war.
The federal government will act
quickly in cases where an alien carries
or possesses firearms, or writes or
prints anything against the govern
ment, but for those who resort to ton.
que treason only, the remedy lies with
the local authorities.
Any person can swear out war
rant and have a man prosecuted under
the provisions OF general section 6415
OF the Revised Laws OF Nevada, found
in volume 2. The section reads:
Every person who shall by word
sign or gesture, wilfully provoke OF
attempt to provoke another person 10
commit an assault or breach OF the
peace shall be guilty OF a misdemean
or.
Any language calculated to stir the
