monthly session, at the Office of the
county clerk. The forenoon session

bills. Some other matters made their
appearance but had not been officially

boldt county, the Winnemucca Water

Hawkins, its attorneys, filed a protest

customary reasons in such cases. The
protest, among other things, alleges
that the Board of County Commission
ers of Humboldt county has no juris-
diction or power to grant an exten-
sion of the franchise; that the Ne
Nddd alityo ONt COMPANY 10 hot

he business of supplying power 70
consumers in this county; that it has
'ailed, neglected and refused to enter
'nto such business in accordance with
the terms of its franchise; and that
he time for taking advantage of the
franchise has long since expired.
The Winnemueca Water & Light
Company declares ii has been for fif-
teen years last past engaged in pro-
viding water, heat, light. and power
to consumers in this city; that it has
s150,000 invested in the business; that
is service has been complete. ade-
quate, and efficient, and that further
service of the kind is not required.

leys Power Company for extension of
its franchise in Humboldt county may

PERSH|NG CO. MAN
TO RESIGN OFFICE

Talk in Winnemucca swung around
with the meeting of the county COM
missioners today, to what can be ex-
pected If County Commissioner Ebert
of Lovelock, resigns his Office as COM
missioner for Humboldt county. SO
he was asked by a Silver State re-
porter whether he intended to resign
and If so when. He answered that he
expected to turn in his resignation the
latter part of August, as he thought
all county division matters would be
settled up by that time.
Sentiment here seems to be that
F. r. Sprague, cashier of the Quinn
River Bank at McDermitt, is the most
desired man whose name has so far
been mentioned for appointment by
Governor Boyle to take Commissioner
Ebert's place. Although it is said
Winnemucca contains a dark horse
who may be prevailed upon to accept
the appointment. and it is said that II
he does come out he'll get it, still
opinion here seems to be that the
great McDermitt country is entitled Il
representation and should have il.
The road north" is a favorite argu
ment and Spragues supporters de
clare that besides being level-headeC
and a business man he will have IA
more opportunities to drive over TIL
road upon which most of Humboldt
county's wealth is hauled than vii
other candidates.

AGED INDIAN KILLED
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Because a Southern Pacific freight
train started up when she was crawl
ing under it, Mamie Lovelock, an old
Indian woman, was instantly killed
here Sunday afternoon at 2:20 o'clock.
The train was stopped before it had
gone car length, but the wheels had
passed over the woman's breast.
crushing that part of her body and
mangling one of her arms. 1t is said
she frequently crawled under trains
standing in the yards. The accident
occurred directly in front of the depot.
Mamie Lovelock is said to have been
about eighty years old. born in Para
disc Valley, and had relatives living
at McDermitt. She was generally no.
ticed on the streets of Winnemucca
because many dogs accompanied her
on excursions from the Indian village
southeast of town.
An inquest held Sunday afternoon
by Coroner Richie resulted in a ver-
dict by the jury OF accidental death,
for which no one was responsible.

WOUNDED SOLDIER
IS AGAINST LEAGUE

"Some wound stripe" said Maurice
Newton of Andrews, Oregon, as he dis
played his left hand and arm, yester-
day morning. showing what remained
of a terribly shattered arm. The
thumb and first finger of his hand
had been amputated at the wrist.
His wounding occurred during the
battle of the Argonne forest, the last
and biggest fight of the world war. A
shrapnel shell from a German gun
burst in squad of seven men, of
which Newton was a member. Two
of the seven were killed, four were
wounded and one escaped without a
scratch.
Newton nearly bled to death then,
although first-aid man was close by.
Four months later he was well enough
to be moved and was brought from
France to the United States and taken
to the Detterman hospital at San
Francisco. For five months longer he
underwent operations and treatments
there, three months of which he spent
in a bed Six different operations
were performed on Newton and three
blood transfusions were necessary in
the effort to save his life. He said:
II got so used to seeing them come
with the stretcher | rolled to the edge
of the bed so il would be easy for
them to take me TO the operating room
to cut again"
with a reporter for this newspaper,
volunteered the information that he is
against the league of nations. and said
he was of opinion that most other
overseas men are, too. He said:
Just because the nations over there
have been fighting since time began
and will continue to do so is no reason
why American boys should be sent to
settle their scraps and come home
with anything like this" And he
again pointed to his wounds. Be
sides, the league is the bunk. anyway"
Newton left on the stage yesterday
for Andrews. While in France he was
a member of the Booth infantry. nth
division Before being wounded in the
Argonne he saw much action before
Metz.

TORTURED FEET

Don't cut your corns. The trimming
of corns can only give temporary re-
'ief at best. The cutting is apt to
cause serious complications. such as
blood poisoning, etc. The thing to do
is to rid yourself entirely of corns by
using Corn Collode. You cannot use
this preparation long without losing
all of your corns. Warm weather is
trying on your feet. but You can get
great relief by using our special foot
powder. which will stop sweating of

DONATIONS TO BAND
INCREASE STEADILY

say they will ne d at least $4,000 to
