GRANTED PERMIT TO KILL
WILD HORSES NEAR HLLIPAH

Desiring to protect his ranges in
the immediate vicinity of his agri-
cultural holdings at Illipah. Clarence
Norman, a prominent rancher in
that section, was granted a permit by
the commissioners to kill wild horses
in the western part of the county
The impelling motive that prompt
ed him make n request of this char
acter to the county board had Its in
ception in the fact that outside par
ties had made 1t practice to enter
upon his ranges. and oftimes tilled
horses of value merely for the pur-
pose of selling their pelts. The wan
ton killing of animals of good breed
ing by persons who were inspired
by mereenary motives caused Mr..
Moorman to take the necessary steps
to stop practices of this sort.

In lusice Collins Court, Monday
lee Wright. charged with killing T.
+. Reidy. was released from custody
and the charge against him dismiss
cd. This action vas at the recon-
mendatiou of District Attorney
Whiteley. as the evidence introduced
at the hearing was not sufficient TO
incriminate the respondent. but on
the other hand tended 10 show that
Wright was justified in his act that
resulted in the death of Reidy
The story of the tragedy, which
occurred In a bunk house at Ruth,
last week. was detailed In last Sun
days News. Testimony at the hear
ing proved that Reidy had been
drinking heavily. aud that he and
two companions had made them
selves obnoxious to Wright, who was
In hls own room. writing a letter and
attending TO his own affairs. Reidy
had kicked open the door OF Wright S
room, and after eursing him had
commenced pelting him with empty
bottles. II was after this prelimin-
ary rough house, that Wright had
reached under a pillow on his bed,
taken therefrom a .32 revolver and
fired through the door. which was
partlv open and behind which Reidy
was standing. The bullet lodged In
Reidy's heart. winding up his career
forthwith
Testimony introduced by G. w
Rickard. principal witness for the
state. tended to show that he had
furnished the liquor which had start
ed the trouble, and himself had been
nm Irritating factor in the disturb
ance that had ended in tragedy
With this fact In mind, Justice Col
lirs roundly denounced Rickard as
being indirectly responsible for the
killing.
Wright has returned to his work

Attorney Whlleley in asking that the

Compulsory food conservation is

which suddenly submitted its report
on the bill giving the president power
10 regulate eating houses and the
distribution and manufacture OF
foodstuffs. The bin does not directly
affect householders.
A general order restricting the
creation of new official positions by
railroads of the raising of officers
salaries was issued today by Director
General McAdoo. Under the order a
railroad may not fill vacancy above
the grade of General Manager or
even create such an office without
the director generals approval. Rail-
roads also will be required to make
monthly reports of increase In sal.
aries, appointments to vacancies and
creation of new positions.
While war department officials re-
iterate that no date has definitely
been fixed for the calling of second
draft of the national army. all avail
able outward indications would seem
to point to some time during the
month of April or at the latest early
In May.

School OF Mines since June /, 1917
eight have gone into Uncle Sam

Their names are Larsen, Burk
Lathrop. Lynch. Osborne. Wilson and
Lund
These men We're doing work along
the lines OF geology, mineralology,
mathematics, chemistry and draw
ing. They were getting along very
well and also were getting far enough
advanced to derive considerable ben
eft from the school, when they ar
rived at the conclusion that their
country needed them and decided to
sacrifice their own ambitions.
The school is now in possession
OF service flag which has a red
background a. inches long by 35
inches wide, with eight blue stars
on a white field
The Ely School of Mines is proud
of its students but doubly so OF each
star that goes onto its flag.

is open for anyone who can read and
write the English language, and
that he or she can take nearly all
the branches of the mining industry
II is maintained by the state at no
cost to the student except for the
books he buys for his own use.

CREDIT LOST FOR HOME RUN
eatsman Winning Game by Knocking
Ball Out Of Park Should BE
Given Home Run Hit.

When the baseball rules are getting
their next revision, whenever that
may be, an effort will be made to
change the present Interpretation In
regard TO home runs which decide ball
games. Under the system now In
vogue n batSman may hit the ball
outside n park, but II the n on
bases settle the game the hitter does
not get credit for his home run, and
II does not go into the records n
such. This is an injustice to the
batslman, says n writer In nn ex
change. While the run does not score
in the game, since II Is not nee.
essnry, there Is no reason why II
should not go into the summary Of
the anne and into the official records
as n home run. 1t is the most timely
of hits and important enough to set
tie n game. Babe Ruth recently hit
into the stands at Boston, n OF his
longest hits of the year, yet Il does
o show In his record Of home runs.
Pip hit into the stands at the Pole
grounds recently and broke up n ball
game, yet IL not credited with n home
run. This feature should be changed
SO as to give the batsman credit.
