SALOONMAN IS
SLAIN IN ROW
ATTEMPTS TO EJECT LAbofshn
AND is SHOT TO
DEATH

G. p. ("Doc'') Harrison, proprie-
tor of the Pioneer Liquor company
and the Pioneer Hotel on CONNER
cial Row. was shot and instantly
killed at 10 O'Clock this morning IN
his saloon by James McManus. q
laborer, following an alteration In
which Harrison, who was 10
bar at the time, attempted to throw
McManus out of the saloon.
McManus fired two shots at Har-
rison. One struck him In the right
arm Just above the wrist, and the
other struck him in the breast just
above the heart, killing him IN
stantly.
According to witnesses, Harrison
told McManus that he would throw
him out unless he ceased raising a
disturbance in the bar-room. the
man replied that Harrison could moi
throw him out and the fight started
near the zeal end of the long BAR.
The two men rolled over and over
on the floor until they reached the
upper end of the bar which Is separ-
ated from the front part Of the sa-
loon by two swinging doors.
Harrison broke away here and ran
through the swinging doors and
behind the bar. McManus, accord
ing to witnesses, took deliberate aim
at Harrison and fired as he reach
ed the back end of the bar and
was turning around. The bullet
| struck him in the breast and he fell
face downward on the floor.
McManus arrived in Reno Thurs
day from Seattle. Following the
| shooting he rushed upstairs to his
room, where he was arrested a few
minutes later by Chief of Police
Hillhouse without any protest.
DOC" Harrison was we'll known
all over Nevada. having resided In
various mining camps in this state
for several years. He came to Reno
from Sacramento several years ago
and purchased the Pioneer saloon
and leased the hotel. He was in the
liquor business in Sacramento prior
to coming to Reno. Several years
ago he conducted a saloon at Raw
hide during the boom days of that
camp and later went to Luckyboy,
where he was in the saloon business.
He was interested in several town
site locations in the southern part Of
the state, and at different times held
mining claims around boom camps.

ONE IN HOSPITAL
FOLLOWING KNITTING
MINER Is ROOMING HOUSE HAS
BLOOD-THIRSTY
VISITOR

Oscar Lem, a miner, vas arrest
ed last night in a local cafe by
Chief of Police Morrison after the
police had searched for him since
morning for cutting Jack Maxi, an
other miner, in a rooming house
on Columbia street a few doors
south of the Hippodrome.
Maxi is in the county hospital
with a knife wound on his face
that narrowly escaped removing
one of his eyes and with a bad
cut on his right side that may have
been prevented from causing his
death by the weapon striking his
ribs.
MAXI says he had nc trouble
with Lein previous to the cutting
and that the latter entered the
rooming house In an intoxicated
condition and knocked on the door
of his room. Both men lived in
the rooming house. MAXI was in
bed and he says that when he
opened the door in response to
the knock Lein lunged at him with
a knife. A battle then ensued that
wrecked much of the furniture in
the room and when Chief of Po-
lice Morrison and Deputy Sheriff
Box later inspected the room 1t
resembled the interior of a slaugh-
ter house on killing day from the
gore that had been spilled by Maxi
in the fight.
Following the row MAXI was
found near the Charette drug
store with his clothes soaked with
blood and while the officers were
getting him to the hospital Lein
returned to the rooming house and
was ordered from it by the pro-
Irietor, a woman. He took his
personal effects, wrapped them in
a bed sheet, and threw the bum
die into a vacant lot near the
rooming house. He then disap-
peared until last night. when Nor
rlson identified him from a des-
cription furnished by MAXI.

That, unfortunately, few IL any
contributors will ever receive post
cards from the soldiers who re-
ceive the tobacco is evidenced by
q letter that has been received
from the advertising department
of the John Bollman company's
San Francisco office. The order
of the military authorities which
the letter mentions as having in
terfered with the plans of the
company Is now known definitely
to have been issued and prevents
soldiers from corresponding with
other than members of their i'm
mediate families.
The letter follows:
With reference to post cards in
Guided in packages of tobacco for

your account, we regret to advise
that we understand there has been
an order issued by the military
authorities prohibiting soldiers
from corresponding with persons
other than those in their imme-
date family or their personal
friends. Our understanding is also
that soldiers are no longer permit
ted to use post cards, but must
enclose their letters in envelopes
This. order, we understand, has
! been in effect for some time, but
1t is only just now that we have
been advised.
If this is correct, it will pre-
vent soldiers from acknowledging
tobacco donations, and accounts

have been received by individuals
making tobacco donations. We
greatly regret that there is little
hope of any of your subscribers
receiving post cards, not only be-
cause the receipt of the post cards
would have stimulated interest In

.fOUR-M|MUTE MEN
HELP u. S. IN WAR
SPEAKERS REACH MANY THOU.
SANDS WITH MESSAGES
OF GOVERNMENT

No history of this world war will
be complete unless full chapters
are devoted to the Four-Minute
Elen.
You go into a movie theater,
and between the reels a man comes
Upon the stage and talks in a rapid
fire of words for four minutes.
He bows, walks from the stage,
and the show goes on.
That man is e direct spokesman
for the United States government.
The message he delivers comes
straight from Washington, and the
words he utters are words the ad-
ministration at the capital wants
the great American public to know.
He is a small cogwheel in a
great machine that turns and moves
with the precision of a bank pre-
senting a sight draft.
Throughout the states thousands
of men like him are doing precise
1y what he is doing.
Their talks are all inspired, and
they get their cues from bulletins
issued by the division of the Four
Minute men, committe on Public
Information.
At frequent intervals the topics
upon which they talk are changed,
and these changes are uniform
from the great Atlantic to the still
greater Pacific.
Thus do the desires, the hopes,
the aims, the aspirations, and the
accomplishments of the admins
tration reach every corner of the
land simultaneously.
Josh Billings said: Il don't kare
bow mulch a man talks If he only
SEE it in a few words"
That is the memorable rule the
Four Minute men must follow.
They are told to talk four min
utes only, and then stop.
If they violate this fixed rule,
their further services are not
wanted.
Most men can tell all they know
In four minutes, and ever then
have a little time to tell a few
things they don't know.
The cry of the times is for men
who can say something and sit
down.
A talker needs terminal facili-
ties as much as a railroad.
The wonderful work being done
by the Four-Minute men is large
ly due to this limitation of Ian
guage.
The man who conceived this idea
and carried it out should rank in
Importance with Gen. Pershing,
Gen. Haig, or any other big officer
among the allies.

Cash Boy Cons.
A great deal of interest, which
has not been confined to TOnopah
but has been manifested in eastern
and western mining circles, has
been shown in the recently pro-
jected winze on the 1000 level of
the Cash Boy Consolidated Mining
company.
According to the report of the
management the Wine has reached
a depth of IL feet below the floor
of the drift on the vein, and is
showing between 5 and 6 feet OF
very good shipping grade ore, with
the vein appearing to get stronger
as the winze goes down.
At the same time, a raise is be-
ing put up from the east drift on
the vein, and it Is also showing a
full face of excellent grade milling
ore. Extraction work on the vein
is going ahead as usual, and a cal
was gotten ready for shipment yes

forward today. Another shipment
is being prepared, which will be
SEM out some time during the
coming week.

The MacNamara is just in re

of bullion made from the cleanup

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY BILLION
 POUNDS BEEF SAVED

According to the Official Bulletin, neaGess days in the United States have saved 140,000,000 pounds of beef in four months. During this period 165,o00o00 pounds of beef were export ed to the allies, together with 100000, 900 pounds of pork products.
 The figures were made public in statement explaining why the food ad- ministration refused requests of cattle and sheep growers to remove beef, mutton and lambs from the conserva- tion rules with regard to meatless day.
 Mutton and lamb are not exported
 nd the food administration has re- moved the restriction on its consump- tion in some of the western states. The restriction will be lifted soon in other western states in which large numbers of sheeps and lambs are pro- duced for meat.
 Food Administrator Hoover will rec ommend to state administrators that the people be permitted to eat all the mutton and lamb they want until after April 15, when the spring marketing season is about at an end.
 "It is desirable to bear in mind," said Mir. Hovoer that the meatless days are simply and solely for the pur- pose of reducing us to feed the allies by reducing our meat consumption.
 "The ration at present in force in Europe among the allies, which has been reduced approximately to one pound of meats of all kinds week or ess than 30 per cent of the present American consumption, is today at so low a figure as to tend to diminish the morals and the resistance of the allies"

 SULZER IS A
 CANDIDATE
Submits His Name to The Voters of Democratic
 Faith for Nomination

In deciding to enter the primaries as candidate for the Democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress from Alaska, ] feel impelled to make brief statement to the people of the Territory
 It is now nearly year since I was seated in the House of Representatives as Alaskas representative in Con- gress During most of that time, the United States has been engaged in the world war. Every resource of the Nation, money. materials and man. power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning the war. Every member of Congress, in considering legislation, has placed war needs above all else. and temporarily at least the domestic needs and require ments are subordinated to the wants of the military establishment.
 Alaska has responded nobly to the Nations call. She has given her share willingly and unstintingly.
 When the Democratic party went before the people of Alaska in Novem- Der, 1916, it stood for certain con structive progrfan,e embodied as its principal elements a wider meas ure of home rule for the Territory, sane and rational policy of develop ment of the natural resources, and every possible aid to the pioneers of the country.
 I have introduced among others the following bills in Congress. which I am pressing for passage as oppor- tunity affords:
 Granting Alaska a full territorial form of government with home-rule as the dominating principle.
 Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and protect the salmon supply from de- pletion.
 Making changes in the homestead aw, by abolishing the eighty-rod strip reservation and authorizing free sur veys of homesteads in isolated sect ions of the Territory.
 Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to use of the game of the country with out slaughter.
 Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
 Providing for the care of Alaska's insane in an asylum within the terri torial limits
 At all times, I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of the territory and of the people of the Territory, and in spite of the war some measure Of progress has been achieved I assisted in passing the law which helped the prospector by suspending the assessment work on his claims during the years 1917 and 1918 Extension of the wireless sys- tenn has been accomplished, and pros poets for further extension are bright. Recognition was forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to the sec ond series of training camps for off 2ers. Contracts which prevented the farmers of the Interior from supplying the Army posts with their vegetable stocks were cancelled.
 Suggestions and requests that again go before the people of Alaska have come to me from Alaskans all over the Territory. Reiterating my de- sire to serve the best interests of AL aska, am submitting my name as candidate for the Democratic nomin- ation to Congress.
