MEXICAN CHARGED With MURDER OF JAP
APPEARS AS PRETTY, DARK HAIRED YOUTH
HE TURNED TOWARD JACKSON MOUNTAIN; HE PLEADS
sELFDEFENsE, DECLARING HE MALTREATED BY VICTIM

Testimony in the Luis Lujan case
was completed in district court at
1880 o'clock this morning and the
jury was excused until 1880, during
which time the attorneys and Judge
Callahan were occupied in settling
instructions to the jury.
Lujan was the last witness to tes-
tify and he told the story of the kill
ing. He testified that he was seven
teen years of age, born in New Mex
leo, his father is dead and his mother
living at Santa Fe.
Lujan is an unusually handsome
little Mexican-just a boy-with a
head of bushy black hair which lies
naturally in order in the style of Jan
Kubelik, the violinist. His compiler
ion is a smooth, clear olive, and bis
face is the picture of innocence. He
has followed section work on rail-
roads ever since he started out 10
make his own living. y
His story of the killing, which he
claims was in self-defense, is in eff
feet as follows
That when his friend Mike Brown,
a Mexican chum about twenty
years of age, was arrested by Consta-
BILE Brady on the charge of stealing
watch. he quit work and intended
going to town to testify for Brown;
that he went into the Japanese cook
car and asked for something to eat;
that the Jap cook said he would not
give lazy man anything to eat;
that after repeated requests the Jap
still refused and started to kick him,
and when the Mexican started
through the door the cook blocked
his way and kicked him, and that he
then grabbed the shotgun and fired.
Lujan explains his taking thfSari-
tomato pistol and two razors by
saying that he took them to protect
himself with, as there were only
three Mexicans against sixteen Japs
If it came to fight. He left one

DEMO MAY HAVE To
TRADE OTHER Way

Road? There is no road at all;
we just travel up there" was the
answer of Joe Garcia, sheepman of
DEMO, when asked today how he
liked the trip here from the northern
town. He has just returned from a
business trip to Stockton, California,
going there a week ago.
Garcia has three bands of 5000
sheep grazing Trout Creek section.
He said mountain feeding is good
this year-a little poor right now.
though--but his sheep are in better
condition than for many years on
account of the excellent feeding this
spring. After buying supplies, Garcia
will return to DEMO, probably in a
couple of days.
Referring again to roads, he said
he hopes something will be accom-
plished, and that soon. "If not" he
said, well have to trade the other
way. Good roads are now available
to Crane and Riverside, Oregon, and
although the distance is trifie
longer those towns will get all of the
trade in time. including shipments OF
wool. because hauling can be accom-
plished cheaper. l. myself, have been
doing all of my business in Winnie
mucca for years, but II the roads are
not better next year l will ship my
wool by way of Crane and to Port
land. and in consequence all other
business will go in the same way.
like to come to Winnemucca to do
business, but will have to do as many
others are doing right now-trade at
Crane because the roads are so much
easier to get over"

JUNGO OIL COMPANY
WILL OPERATE SOON
Especial Correspondence

SULPHUR, Nevada The one sub
ject of conversation in this locality
nowadays is oil. Much prospecting
is being done about the old lake bot
tom lands. and every item of news
regarding oil prospects in other parts
of the state is eagerly seized upon.
1t seems beyond doubt that prospects
for oil are good hereabouts. and in
all probability some test wells will
be put down in the near future.
AT Jungo a company of local men
is already organized. with cash paid
in, and work on a test well will be
commenced probably within sixty or
ninety days.

ROSE FORD; NAME OF
WINNER, NOT AUTO

This is free ad" for the Nevada
State Journal and the Grand restau-
rant at Reno. or course. everybody
in Nevada knows that the Journal
has been conducting circulation
campaign similar to the one now in
progress for The Silver State. The
Journals campaign ended last Satur-
day night, but results of the voting
were not announced until this morn
ing.
1t appears that Miss Eleanor Reed
of Winnemucca won wrist watch by
amassing a score of 266,600 votes
Mrs. H. F. Davidson of Mill City will
receive a $40 millinery order, for
430,625 votes. Miss Mildred Reed of
Lovelock wins $500 in cash.
There were a dozen other prizes in
this contest, but of course the "capi-
tai" prize was the Chevrolet automo-
bile. This was won by Mrs. Rose
Ford, waitress in the Grand res
taurant. who received a handsom
vote for her work. Many Winnemucc3
people know Rose Ford, because she
has been working at the Grand for
more than eight years. Likewise
local people know Nick Lusich. pro
prietor of the place, and Lorry Pc
trinovitch, the manager. who is
brother of John Petrinovitch.
Rose Ford's victory was due to
large extent to her wide acquaint
ance with Nevada people, but she
proved herself a hustler also To
meet Rose during the past month
was pretty much the same thing as
subscribing for the Journal. Also.
should be an encouragement to work
ers in The Silver State contest to
know that the Reno winner took no
time away from her regular work in
the restaurant. And now, for the
extra effort extending over a few
weeks she is the owner in fee simple
of an 1857 Chevrolet touring car
the same as The Silver State will
give away two weeks from Saturday
night. But wouldn't it have been
funny IL she had won a Ford!

TRADERS IN SUGAR
STILL SEEK PROFITS

Developments In the sugar short
age situation have led to much talk
of twenty-cent sugar and to indica-
tions that traders in sugar are hoping
to make considerable advances in
price as a result of current condi-
tions. Blame for the sugar situation
is applied almost indiscriminately
but in general to the sugar equaliza-
ton board or to the President and
his assistants for their failure to
empower that board to buy the Cuban
sugar crop last month.
One thing that seems to be per-
fectly clear is that candy manufac-
turers and other large users of sugar
have had all the best of 1t thus far,
In comparison with the household
purchaser. Although the latter has
In many places been restricted in
buying sugar. the great candy-making
firms have been allowed to buy in un-
limited quantities. The profit on a
pound OF sugar. in the form Of candy
is naturally much greater than on a
pound of sugar in its crude state.
A reader of The Christian Science
Monitor, professional man of high
standing in Massachusetts,, writes of
other forms of discrimination and of
personal experiences in connection
with the sugar question as follows:
Having tried in the stores of my
own town and a nearby one to pur-
chase little sugar. went to Boston
and while waiting in famous large
store heard the customer besides me
order sugar She was asked, Are you
a regular customer and then, Have
you acharge account? and then. Does
any clerk here know your Satisfac-
duced for her a five-pound box OF
sugar. | made my purchase mot of
sugar. and then asked for sugar.
was told to apply at distant counter
where | saw long line of applicants
whose fate | did not discover, as |
had a train to catch.
MY grocer tells me the reason is
that our sugar is being sold abroad
for more than 1t brings here. A
friend told me that his grocer told
him that all the sugar needed In
America can be bought If people are
willing and were permitted to pay
twenty cents per pound for it, If this
is true. 1t means the worst possible
kind of profteering that deprives
children and the public generally of
an essential food article for the bene-
fit of few people who are inter
ested in sugar, and it may well be
that these few are not the public
holders of sugar stock What are
you going to do about this?"

Miss Agnes Curley, bookkeeper at
Reinhart's Golconda store, came to
Winnemucca yesterday to testify in
the Lujan case. She testified that
the defendant came into the store on
the day Of the shooting. after he had
run away, to make some purchases,
and that he was very nervous. Miss
Curley was excused after testifying
and returned home in the afternoon.

razor at the Willow Creek ranch in
the Jackson mountains and claims
he lost the other. AS Mike Brown
was searched by Mr.. Brady when he
was locked up, and Mike had no ra-
zor then, but had one later when he
was taken out for trial, the officers
advanced the theory that Lujan had
slipped one razor under the caliboose
door to Mike Brown. This Lujan
denied.
Lujan said that after the shooting
he went to the river and followed it
to Winnemucca, passing under the
bridge on Bridge street, going on to
Crum. the first sidetrack west of this
city, breaking into the house there
and getting something to eat. He
said that the officers caught up with
him at Jungo, and he saw them and
asked the section hands who they
were. and they informed him that
the men were officers. He then struck
off across the desert for the Jackson
mountains.
The trial has progressed slowly
because much of the testimony had
to be taken through a Japanese wit
ness, who himself had a very limited
understanding of English.
At the convening of the afternoon
session at 1870 this afternoon, the
instructions were read to the jury,
after which the arguments were be-
gun. 1t is expected the arguments
will consume the entire afternoon.
