EIGHTY BARRELS OF
BEER TURNED LOOSE
Joe Powers Empties Liquid In
Street A Great Chance
Missed BY Some
Old Soaks.

Eight barrels of beer were turn
loose on Main street last Wednesday.
Had some dry" adherent happened
along, he might have gained the op-
nion that this town was no longer
wet" burg. But nothing of the
kind. On the other hand II some old
soak" had discovered the rivulet
which coursed it's way down the cen
ter of the street, he would have
been equally sure that he had struck
a veritable paradise.
This rather strange procedure
was pulled off by Joe Powers, with
Jack Mathews as master of ceremon-
les. 1t seems that a firm back east
IN city made famous by its brew
cries, undertook to unload a car of
stale beer on Nevada, Joe would mt
stand for it, and that is how the
eighty kegs were emptied right here
IN broad day light.

AUSTERMAN UNDER
ARREST IN TONOPAH
German Subject Taken Into
Toils-Accused Spy Was

Deputy Sheriff John F. Roeder re-
ceiVsd telegram from Tonopah tnis

the description of Carl Austcrman, a
German subject who was resident
Of Phoebe during the winter of 1916
1917.
Austerman is an assayer and chem
ist by profession and while here was
employed at the Phoebe Assay Of
fee; also at some of the mines and
mills. From Phoebe, Austerman Went
TO Comet, where he worked for the
Iungsten-Comet Mining company.
Leaving there he went to La. VEGAS
where it is alleged he Jumped" a
good sized board bill; he later ap-
peared at Groom, from which poin.
he disappeared and his Whereabouts
were unknown until picked up by the
Nye county authorities
1t was believed by many here that
Austerman belonged to the German
spy system in this country and the
arrest at Tonopah, if he really is the
man, would bear out this conclusion.

There is nothing in the zinc mar

the compensation paid her is a de-
ductable item. If, however, she is
employed in caring for the farmers
household, no deduction can be claim
ed.
What deductions are allowed a
farmer for business expense" in
making out the income tax return?
This is one OF the many questions
which revenue officers who will WIS.,
II every county in the United States
during January and February will
answer in detail. Briefly, they in
elude the amount expended in labor
n the preparation % lend For eral,s
and lin the cultivation, harvesting
and marketing of the crop. Deduc-
tions may be made for the cost of
seed and fertilizer, the amount ex-
pended for labor in caring for live
stock, cost of feed, repairs to farm
and other buildings, but not to the
cost Of repairs to the dwelling. The
cost of repairs to farm fences and
machinery is deductible, as well as
the cost of small tools and material
which is used in course of year or
two, such as binding twine, pitch
forks, etc
The cost of machinery, such as
tractors, and thrashing machines can
not be deducted, but the cost of their
operation is a deductible item.
The value of farm products is not
considered taxable until reduced to
cash or its equivalent. If crops and
stocks were produced in 1916 and
sold in 1917, the amount received
therefor is to be included in the far
ner'a tax return for the calendar
ear 1917 and on hand December
