ELKO COUNTY BOOZE SEIZURES

Elko, Nevada, Jan. l0.-The base
ment of the Elko County Courthouse
is becoming a veritable wine cellar
due to the activities of Sheriff Harris.
The store of liquors now kept there
awaiting word from the captain OF
State police as to it's disposal amounts
to seventeen gallons of whiskey, three
barrels of beer and four barrels of
wine.
The whiskey and beer wer seized
bv the sheriff a few days ago when
he raided the cellar of a saloon in La
noble belonging to Lee McNew. The
liquor was stored there by McNeW
the day the law went into effect and
he claimed that it vas for his per-
sonal use. The owner then went to
Goldfeld and has not been heard of
since so Sheriff Harris decided to
confiscate the store.
Yesterday the sheriff went to Car
lin and took possession of four bar
rels of wine lying in the Southern
Pacific depot there. The wine was
purchased in Elko by Pete Alzal a
few days before the law went into
effect and shipped by him to Carlin.
For some reason he failed to call for
it before the sixteenth and could not
then claim his property after that.
The railroad company notified the
sheriff and he added it to his stock.

All other events Of last week were
ov~ershadowed, so far as America was
concerned, by the death Of Colonel
Roosevelt. Believed by his countless
admirers to be the greatest American
since Abraham Lincoln, he is admitted
by those who disagreed with him to
have been unexcelled in courageous
patriotism and zeal for the welfare Of
his country and his countrymen. To
eulogize one whose remarkable quail.
ties and achievements were known tn
all the world seems superf1uous. His
passing evoked the sincere and univer.
sal grief of men and ome in every
rank of life. No pomp and circum.
stance marked his funeral-none was
needed, for his glorious place in history
and in the hearts of his fellow citizens
is secure.

Nevada's junior Senator Charles B.
Henderson, was among the number
of Senators named to represent the
United States Senate at the funeral
of ex-President Roosevelt.
A. H. Howe, for many years secre
tary of the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mining Company and vice-president
of the John S. Cook bank at Gold
field, will open a stock brokerage in
vestment office in Reno.
Goldfeld has felt the loss of reve-
nue. from the liquor law and is cut
ting expenses wherever possible. The
electric lights have been cut on the
streets, the fire force reduced, the
city st~enographers dismissed and the
police force cut to one man.
Some time ago the BARRIERS of Elko
raised their prices and there was a
great howl from those with hirshute
appendages. Many new razors were
purchased and business became so
poor that the knights of the scissors
and shears have gone back to the old
prices.
The Virginia Miners Union is ad-
vising the papers throughout Nevada
that there is an over supply of miners
on the Comstock. Since the closing
down of the copper mines through
out the State many miners have gone
to Virginia City seeking work. Vir-
ginia City has all she needs and then
some.
The frozen body of an Indian was
found near Austin last week with an
empty whisky flask clasped tightly in
the fingers. The coroner's jury ad.
vanced the theory that he had drank
the whisky Indian fashion in one gulp
and had been overcome by the effects.
He fell in the deep snow and was
frozen to death before he could raise
himself. Where he obtained the
whisky is a mystery.
Nick Perovich. the luckiest leasel
on the Montana-Tonopah where he
has been taking out high-grade fol-
the past eight months, is making E
fine showing. In meeting his bullion
tax he gave the Sheriff of Nye Coun.

gross production of STA, $40. so, with
expenses placed at $54 1896. 16, leaving

By EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Believing themselves now strong
enough to overthrow the Ebert govern
ment and gain control of Germany, the
%Spartacans, led by Liebknecht, last
week deliberately provoked civil wal
In Berlin. First they seized the ar
senal and munition plants at Spandau
and armed themselves, and then pro-
ceeded to attack the government build
ings. Sanguinary fighting ensued, for
the Ebert crowd was determined and
was supported by many of the return
ed soldiers. Some Of these were
posted on the B~randenburg gate and
at other strategic points with machine
guns, grenades and flame projectors.
After several hundred persons had
been killed and many wounded, it was
announced that the government forces
had maintained the supremacy and
had large bodies of troops concentrate
ed just outside the city, ready to enter
it. The chancellor, addressing great
crowds outside his palace, bitterly de-
nounced the SpartacanS for their
"~rascally behavior and insane policy"
and promised that they would be sup
pressed.
At this point the independent social
lists jumped into action, taking advan-
tage of the crisis, and tried to force
new revolutionary government was
proclaimed, composed of independent
socialists, with Ledebour, Liegmann
and Tick in control. This naturally
did not satisfy Liebknecht, and he was
said to be continuing his efforts to in
stall a government of his own choos-
ing. His followers We're in possession
of the royal stables and of police head
quarters. Chief of Police Eichhorn,
who is one of them, had ignored his
dismissal by the peoples commission
ers. Radek, the %bolshevik emissary
from Russia, was advising the Sparta
cans.
Dispatches coming as this is written
say the Spartacans were being
strengthened by the accession of some
of the troops and were holding the
principal points in Berlin that Gustav
Noske, commander in chief of the
Ebert government troops, was prepar.
ing to call new forces in to attempt to
regain control of Berlin, and that a
violent reaction by the more conserva.
tive elements was expected.
There were reports that the civil
war was spreading to other parts OF
Germany and that violent uprisings
were disturbing Bavaria and the Rhen.

stores being pillaged and several per
sons killed. The main strength of the
Spartacans, however, is in Berlin.
If any government can hold out unit,
the national assembly has met and de
termined what the future of Germany
shall be, 1t may be recognized by the
allies as competent to enter into the
peace negotiations and sign the treaty
That, Of course, is it's immediate aim
and that is what the Spartacans are
fighting against so strenuously.

forts failed because Pine Island crude owing to its in
herent qualities and characteristics has little to
ommend for refining purposes compared with the
high-grade crudes from the Caddo and other fields
1t was shown that the only market for Pine Island
crude was fuel oil and that even here it had no
chance to compete any large scale with other crudes

YOUNG FOX IN TROUBLE.
Mr.. Rufted Grouse aAd Mrs. Grouse
wandered about in the forest finding
now and then big fat, pale-striped
flea beetle, and once in q. while a
clover-root weevil was forced from
him hiding in the edge Of the for
est. There were plenty of beechnuts
and hazelnuts left on the ground be-
cause Sammy Squirrel and his fam
lily could not store them all away.
Ono day when the three young
Foxes were out for hunt In the for
est the older Of the three sighted Mr..
Grouse for the first time. He said to
his brothers: "You wait here and I
will catch that fellow for our supper"
Young Fox inherited a taste for
most every kind Of feathered Screa-
ture. And many times when Tinker
Bob knew nothing about 1t he
bounced also upon a young Cotton
Tail and carried him away to a cave
in the rocks where he and his
brothers would have a feast. Some
times, too, he left the forest ana stay
ed away days at q time and when he
came back he would have aechicken
from a farmers coop.
''Now III slip up on him when he
isn't looking and there will be one
squawk and it will be all over" con-
ttnued young Fox, looking toward
Mr.. Grouse.
His two brothers waited and
watched, thinking how good it would
taste to have one of Mr.. Grouse's
wings to eat. Young Fox was indeed
very spry as we'll as shy and it was
hard for any to suspect his presence.
Mr.. Grouse was busy picking up
hazelnuts and did not hear him.
Young Fox crept as close as he
dared. fearing the strange creature
might be more suspicious than the
ordinary forest dweller. He crouch

to his great surprise, when he land
ed, Mr.. Grouse was not there! He
now stood on a. log not rod from
where young Fox stood! -
