Disloyal Citizen Is
Deborted from Here

As a climax to the reported sele-
bration In a Gardnerville saloon
at which time the Kaiser was toasted
and German songs sung upon the re-
ceipt of the news that q U-boat and
sunk the Tuscania carrying our
troop to France, Herman Helberg. q
farm laborer. was deported from this
Valley Monday afternoon by q body of
fifty or more determined men.
The deported man had openly stat
ed that he was present when the sing
ing took place and when this fact be-
came known, citizens of this COM
munity quickly banded together,
ordered the traitor into an automo-
mobile and with others following.
quietly headed for Carson. When
near the old Pony saloon. When
miles this side OF Carson, Helberg
was ordered to climb out of the auto
According to reports he was given a
chance to explain which he did, Civ
ing the names of five men who were
with him at the time the singing of
German songs took place. 1t is also
said that he gave ether valuable In
formation regarding certain condi-
tions existing in this county. He Is
alleged to have told how one promi-
nent citizen offered to open a keg OF
beer should Germany win the war.
After being granted the opportunity
to kiss an American flag, he was
ordered to walk and never return to
Carson Valley under penalty of severe
punishment should he violate the
orders given him.
The deported man, some weeks ago
made stinging remarks in a Gardner
Vile saloon which were resented by
the barkeeper who struck Helberg on
the jaw, knocking him down. He
fell against VIM. Castle, the latter re-
ceiving broken leg.
Helberg has no relatives in this
section as far as is known. He came
from Germany some "a years ago
and was admitted to citizenship some
time later.
He was met at Carson by citizens
OF that place and told to keep moving
If he wished to avoid decorating a
telegraph pole. according to the Car
son News Tuesday morning.
In deporting Helberg from this
community, the citizens have openly
showed their hands. A halt has been
called to disloyalty and the like and
type OF Herman Helberg have q rough
road ahead of them. Let the action
of Monday afternoon be a solemn
warning to those who have been fol-
lowing, or have an inclination to fol-
low those of Herman Helberg.
