RETURNED SOLDIER MEETS
WITH MUCH BAD LUCK

Jack Nelson, a discharged soldier,
who recently returned to Austin after
serving the country in Siberia, ran
into a very bad streak of luck this
week, says the Reese River Revielle.
Jack is an honest, Woodworking man
and when he vas let go from the ser
vice returned to Austin, where he
had left some small debts when he
entered the army. for the purpose of
working and paying his debts. He
had secured employment, being a
first class miner, and a few days ago
got his first fraction of a months
pay. On the 18th, in common with
other people, he was enjoying him.
self.
1t had been the habit of some of
the drinking men, in violation of the
around among friends. Jack, hav-
ing found where he could get the
liquor, procured a bottle, and on the
night of st. Patrick's day, entered
the bar room of the hotel and gave
his friend the sign TO follow.
District Attorney Maesttretti and
Deputy Sheriff White saw the signal,
and when the friend followed they
also went along. At a secluded spot,
the bottle was produced, the friend
had his drink, and the soldier was
just taking his when the officer
placed him under arrest, taking the
bottle as evidence. In court next
day Jack acknowledged the corn
and the corn juice, and entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of hay
ing liquor in his possession in a
public place, in violation of section
I of the law. In view of his good
character and his statement that he
did not know il was contrary to the
law to have the booze in his posses
sion, District Attorney Maestretti
asked the court to impose a light SEN
tence in the case, stating that unfor-
tunately the mar caught was not the
kind he was after, but that he would
take great pleasure in prosecuting
anyone who could be caught hand
ling liquor for protein other
words, bootlegging.
Justice Malloy expressed regret
that he was compelled to impose a
penalty of two months in jail and a
fine of 800 and costs. but must be
governed by the law. The defendant
was given the minimum sentence
and was taken to jail to begin serving
out the sentence.
Much regret was expressed by
those who know the man, for his rep
utation as a good citizen is high.
AS there had been considerable
reckless drinking lately. the Officers
were on their mettle TO make an ex-
ample of ONE one. and Jack Nelson
was the unfortunate one to be
! caught There h. talk of asking the
board of pardons to show him leni-
ency. an dhis friends have gotten out
a petition TO that effect.

State News and Happenings of General Interest
NEARLY MEETS DEATH
IN PECULIAR MANNER

About a week ago r. l.. Wood. the
we'll known Town Greek farmer, had
a very narrow escape from death by
asphyxiation, caused by the gas from
1.-THE exhaust of an automobile. and it
will be some time before he fully re-
covers from the effects of his expert
ence, says the Wells Herald.
Noting that the battery of his auto
needed recharging, he had started
the engine to operate the generator,
and had removed the cap from the
exhaust pipe. He had determined
that while the restoration of the bat
terry was taking place he would make
a few repairs upon the machine, and
had placed ii over a pit, constructed
for the purpose of permitting easy
access of the mechanism. In order to
tighten up some loose nuts, he enter
ed the pit into which the exhaust
from the engine was pouring. forget
full of the danger of such a proceed
ing. He had scarcely lowered him
self into the pit until he realized that
the pit was filled with the highly dan
gerous gases of the burned gasoline.
Instantly he e~ndeayored to escape
from the perilous position. but the
poisonous fumes had already begun
to work upon him. His lungs had
filled with the deadly gas and he lost
consciousness while attempting to
climb from the pit. After that he
does not know what happened until
an hour or so later when he recover
ed his senses temporarily, to find that
his wife and children were working
over him. Even after he had lost
consciousness, he succeeded in drag
ging himself from the pit, where he
was found probably an hour later
by one of his children lying partly
under the machine. The young miss
summoned Mrs. Wood and Miss
Close, who partly carried and partly
dragged the PROSTATE and uncon-
scious man TO the porch of his resi-
dence, where they began to work over
him. Mrs. Wood states that his eyes
were set and to all appearances he
was dead. Thoroughly frightened.
the ladies administered whiskey and
such other r~estoratives as they could
command and after an hour Of hard
work and trying moments Mr.. Wood
began to show signs Of life, recover
ing consciousness for short intervals,
and again relapsing. Finally, how
ever, the effects of the gas were
driven off and he recovered to such
an extent that he was removed into
the house and after a few hours was
out of danger.
Mr.. Wood states that he fully be-
lieved he was "a goner," that he
knew what had happened to him.
but was powerless to escape from the
pit sooner than he did. For many
hours after he had regained con-
sciousness he was In a very weakened
condition. His lungs are very gore
from the effects of the gas that near
ly COST him his life.

Good Reading for Sunday
Twilight Meditation

Some day, today will be a memory,
Today with all its loss and fret and
fears.
Then hearts will laugh at griefs that
used to be,
Far back in other half-remembered
years.
Some day the secrets that lie buried
In hidden treasure-chests, in lands
unknown,
viii be revealed, though we may
know not how,
And then, o then, we'll Claim thcm
for our own.
Some day, the smothered hope we
now think dead
viii rise and speak of dreams at
last fulfilled.
Well know Loves soft-voieed song
ster had not fled,
But touched a strange, sad tone
because God willed.
Some day. Then why not laugh and
hope, and mount
With lighter burden, and forget
the loss2
Some day, Then why not laugh, and
love and count
The half-forgotten diamonds in the
cross?
-Leda Terwilliger.

the bone having been shattered and
~protruding through the skin.
The accident occurred while Meyer
was shifting a belt.
The injured man displayed the re-
markable fortitude manifested when
he fell on a circular saw at the West
End trimming bench and was almost
cut in two. At that time he drove
his team to the hospital and walked
through the entrance without as
sistance.
This morning when he vas caught
by the belt his arm was locked in the
embrace where he remained for what
he says was fully fifteen minutes, as
his cutlery could not be heard owing
to the roar of the rock crusher, and
there was no one else in that section
of the mill. The friction Of the belt
practically cooked his arm between
the wrist and the shoulder, but as
the suffering man was held there he
had the nerve to take a pocket knife
from is pocket with which he tried
to eve the belt, but was unsuccess-
full.

GROUND WATER IN THE
REESE RIVER VALLEY

Reese River valley, in Nevada, is a
desert area about $50 miles long,
which is at most places closely hem
med in by mountains. Like many
other streams of the arid regions,
Reese river alternately rises and
sinks during the dry season and no.
where carries a large volume of
water except after heavy storms.
The water discharged from the noun
tains through numerous canyons on
both sides of the valley also sinks
rapidly into loose material. Obvious
ly such a valley has two kinds of wa
ter supply-that which is visible
above the surface and can easily be
discovered and measured, and that
which lies concealed in the deposits
beneath the surface and is much
harder TO find and measure. Much
of the mystery relating to the water
beneath the surface has, however,
been dispelled by a systematic study
of these waters by biologists and en-
gineers.
A report on the ground water IN
Reese River valley and adjacent
parts of Humboldt River valley, by
G.. A. Waring, has just been published
by the United States Geological sur
yey, department Of the interior. This
report describes in detail the occur
renee. head, and quality Of the
ground water in this region, gives
analyses of the water, and all avail
able data concerning wells and dis
cusses the prospects of a larger re-
covery and use of this water, es-
pecially for irrigation. It is one of
a series of reports that is being pub
lished on the ground waters of Nc
vada.

Water-Supp1y Paper 425-D, can be
