CLUNE'S "THE EYES OF THE
WORLD COMING FEBRUARY

Clune's multiple-reel pictorial trans
lation of Harold Bell Wrights famous
tory of love and adventure, "The Eyes
If the World" has been booked for
presentation at the American theatre
Thursday, February 7. The produc-
ton is described briefly as a visuali-
zation in photodrama on lavish scale
with which is co-ordinated a musi-
cal score much the same as in opera
of Wright's red-blooded and romantic
novel of California which has enjoyed
a sale of more than 100000 copies.
"The Eyes of the World" consumes an
entire afternoon or evening in show
ing. The scenario was prepared by
the noted author himself The photo
drama is said to be of brillian charac-
ter, forming a magnificent background
for the fascinating tale. The outdoor
scenes are said to form a wonderful
panorama of California's charms of
mountain and vale. Besides amplify-
ing the story, Harold Bell Wright act
lively assisted in putting his scenes
and characters before the camera.

APPROPRIATION FIRST

The first thing the administration
did after taking control of the rail-
roads was to ask for an appropriation.
That is probably also the last thing
they will do. Unfortunately for the
railroad managers, they couldn't go to
Congress with a request for an appro-
priation. They went to the Interstate
Commerce Commission with requests
for increased freight rates, which
were usually denied. Perhaps they
ought to have been denied. but the ac-
ton of the administration in starting
its work by asking for an appropria-
tion is pretty strong evidence that the
rate increase should have been grant
ed. If the railroad managers were
expected to operate on the receipts
from traffic, why shouldn't the direc-
tor-general operate on the same reve-
nue.. especially since he has authority
the managers never had and is re-
lieved of many hampering regulations
TO which the managers were sub
jected?

have new TRIAL

Adolph Sella, convicted murderer,
who was recently granted a new trial
by the Supreme Court, was brought
to Winnemucca from Carson City and
appeared before Judge Ducker in dis
trict court yesterday morning to make
arrangements for the retrial of the
accusation against him.
Sella declared he was without the
means of securing an attorney, and
his case was continued to February Z
in order that he might endeavor to
secure counsel, and the judge placed
the case on the calendar for trial on
March next.
Sella was tried in the fall of 1915
for the murder of E. Ramella in Win
nemucca in the spring of that year.
He was found guilty of murder in the
second degree and sentenced to State
prison for from ten years to life. On
appeal, the Supreme Court ordered a

sent out notices to county commits
sioners and the governing boards of
various Nevada cities. calling their
attention to Section a, Chapter 149.
Laws of Nevada 1917. which requires
that the governing boards of all coua-
ties, cities, towns, school or high
school districts. shall. between the
first Monday of January and the first
Monday of April in each year. prepare
a budget of the estimated receipts and
necessary expenditures for their re-
spective counties, cities, towns or
school districts for the current year.

tax rate unless there be an increase
in expenditures.

FAST BASKETBALL
GAME TOMORROW

Tomorrow evening the first Big
Game of the season will be played at
the high school gymnasium. The Reno
girls, undefeated champions of the
western part of the State, will meet
the local damsels. Both teams are
anxious to win this game, as it is al
most certain that the winner will be
State champions for 1918.
Last year the local girls defeated
Reno twice, and Reno is determined
to get even this year They have a
much stronger team than ever before
and are coming here with every con-
fidence that they will roll up a big
score against Winnemucca.
The Winnemucca girls say that
Reno has never beaten them on their
own court, and that they won't be
able to do so this year. However,
they will need the support of all the
townspeople to make success of the
game. so do your bit for the higa
school and be there to cheer the girls
to victory.
This is sure to be the fastest game
of girls basketball ever played in the
State, and nc one who likes to see d
good game can afford to miss it. The
game will begin promptly at eight
o'clock. The gymnasium will be well
heated and lighted and everything
possible will be done to make the
spectators comfortable. Be sure to
go and take your friends with you.

STOLE SHEEP FOR
MARKET in OMAHA

Two of the men implicated in the
theft of a band of 1900 sheep in Ore
gon, which we're driven to Winnie
mucca. shipped to Omaha and sold
on the market there, have been ap-
pretended. Their names are given 3
Allen and Bowen.
w. H. Cess, an Idaho stockmau,
telephoned to Sheriff Lamb on Tues
day that Allen had been arrested at
Omaha. Yesterday word was received
that Bowen also had been taken into
custody. No details have been re-
ceived. but it is presumed that Allen
and Bowen had not yet received the
money for the sheep, or they would
not have been caught at Omaha.
The stolen sheep have been located
also. The number sold at Omaha was
500 short of that shipped from Winnie
mucca. The missing sheep probably
were disposed of at some point en-
route. Allen and Bowen accompanied
the shipment from this place Bowen
was the herder who, with Frank Pratt,
the camp tender, trailed the sheep
from the range in Malheur county.
Oregon, to Winnemucca, where they
met Allen. Pratt and Bowen are SAID
to be related. They were in the en-
ploy of Cess. owner of the sheep. So
far, nobody seems able to identify the
third man, Allen, and it is believed
that the name is an assumed one.
Pratt has not yet been located. He
has dropped out of sight. seemingly.
When the sheep were shipped he re-
mained here with the pack outfit of
three mules and a horse. Suddenly
the entire outfit dropped ont of sight.
or course, there was no suspicion here
that the sheep had been stolen until
the information was received last Sur
day from the owner, eleven days after
the sheep had been shipped and sew
eral days after they had been sold at
Omaha. The exact amount received
for the stolen sheep is not known. buf
IL could have been not far short o.
$4,000, as the market price of the
ewes would be around $50 per head.

RENO BOY KILLED
BY FREIGHT TRAIN

Train No. 20, from the west, bore
gruesome, mangled mass of humanity
which was rushed with all speed to
the county hospital. 1t was Eddie Fos-
ter, a son of Mrs. Gladys Mason Of
Reno. He with another young man
named Heney were last night endea-
voring to beat their way from Love-
lock to Mill City on a freight train.
They had climbed into a boxcar, but
owing to the extreme cold started out
to find more comfortable place to
ride. They were stiff and numb from
inactivity and exposure.
While making their way along the
train young Foster slipped and fell be-
tween two cars. The remainder of
the train, it is supposed, passed over
him. He was frightfully mangled, one
leg being severed at the thigh. His
companion jumped from the train
as quickly as he could and waited
beside the injured boy until No 20
a passenger train-came along, when
he tagged il.
Fosters mangled form was put on
board and brought TO W1nnemucca.
He died few minutes after reaching
the hospital. Physicians said it was
a remarkable thing that he had lived
so long. The remains were taken in
charge by the Ayers undertaking es-
tablishment and will be shipped TO
Reno this afternoon, it is understood.
Mrs. Mason, the mother, had two
boys. The other son was killed four
years ago while working on a pile
driver.

A foot of pipe which cost 20 cents in
1914 now costs more than 40 cents.
Bolts and nuts have more than
doubled.
Asbestos materials of all sorts have
nearly trebled.

sary legal work, and to observe strict

During the period of possession,
operation and government control OF
the railroads, il is necessary that Off
GERS. directors and agents of railroad
companies be very careful in the ham
ding of moneys and in dealing with
transportation matters. Without at
tempting at this time to give general
directions, there are a few matters
involving the expenditure of moneys S
for purposes having no direct relation
to transportation, which should re-
ceive immediate attention, as well as
the issuance of free transportation.
"It is ordered. therefore. that the
carriers operating revenues shall not
be expended:
Il. For the payment of agents or
other persons who are employed in
any way to affect legislation.
"2. For the employment of attorneys
who are not actually engaged in the
performance of necessary legal work
for the company.

affecting any public measure.
"5. Issuance of free passes.
mo passes or free transportation
shall be issued by any carrier under
Federal control. or any official of such
carrier. unless the issuance of such
free transportation is authorized by
the act of Congress entitled An act to
regulate commerce, approved Febru-
airy 4, 1887, and amendments thereto,
and any such passes or free transper-
tation heretofore issued. not in con-
formity with said act, must be re-
called.
This order applies to all carriers
under Federal control. whether inter
state or intrastate"

IL is, thousands of free passes now
held by state. county and municipal
officials and others will be Cancelled.
