16-gauge shotgun.
The boy had been hunting up Cot
tonwood creek, and on his return
home, in crossing the fume, the gun
slipped out of his hand, apparently,
the trigger striking a portion of the
flume, discharging the gun. The
charge of shot struck the boy in the
right eye. and the entire right upper
half of his head was blown away.
A jury summoned by coroner John

were Bert Browning, Tom r. Ebert,
William Whyback and r. Nenzel.
Goodin sustained a dislocated shoul-

HOMESTEADERS LIKE
REBEL CREEK LAND

Great interest is being manifested
by ranchers of Arbuckle, California,
over the farming possibilities of the
Rebel Greek section. Pumping OF
water for irrigation does not in the
least dismay them, they having taken
land at Arbuckle several years ago
when pumping water from depth of
300 feet was necessary. That land al
that time was practically worthless
but with improvement it is now sell
ing for as much as $500 per acre.
Particularly enthusiastic concern
ing the Rebel Creek district is DR.
C. N. Lausten, formerly of Arbuckle
who has filed application with County
Clerk Davey to contest homestead en-.
tries and also has filed on a desert
land entry in the valley.
Charles F. Weyand has also appli-
cation TO contest homestead entry
and additional homestead of other
parties at Rebel Creek.
George Z. bennett has filed on a
homestead in the Rebel Creek section
Robert c. Vandenberg made two
year proof or residence on a desert
land entry in the Rebel Creek district
He completed two-year requirement.

Thus it appears that the Rebel

CAUSE
DELAYS IN COURT
EXCEPT IN GREINSTINE CASE
ALL JURYMEN EXCUSED UNTIL
DECEMBER s AT 10 O'CLOCK

On account of the fatal injury oc-
curing to T. A. Brandon's father at
Reno the trial of the case of Pearl
Greinstine versus Nose Greinstine
has been postponed by Judge Gala
han until next Thursday morning at
10 o'clock. The jurors in that case
were excused until that time.
Brandon is also an attorney in the
next two cases and that fact, coupled
with the fact that j. T. Goodin of
Lovelock, necessary witness in one
of the cases, received a serious in
jury, rendering it impossible for him
to attend court next week, made it
necessary that all of the remaining
cases except the Greinstine case be
continued over until December 8. The
jurors who are not engaged in the
Greinstine case were excused from
further attendance until December 8.
County Clerk Davey must get word
of the postponement to each individ-
ral juror. He was busy this afternoon
sending messages and making calls
on the telephone.
1t is understood that the injuries
sustained by the two gentlemen were
in no way connected, one occurring
near Hated and the other at Reno.

HAPPY LOT LEAVING
FOR VISIT IN ITALY
PASSPORT MATTER REVEALS ONE
MORE CASE OF MOST AMAZING
INEFFICIENCY AT WASHINGTON

A happy crowd of Paradise Valley
residents is in Winnemucca, ready to
start for New York on the early Sun
day morning train-happy, that is, all
but one member who could not get
her passport in time to sail on the
steamer with the rest.
The voyagers are Lorenzo Recan-
zone, his wife, and three children
Alfonso Constanza, and Marios Ferra-
rio, all going to Italy. Antonio Jose
Batacco is starting for the Flores
Islands.
Mrs. Charles Recanzone and son
are here, but they cannot go with the
party, on account of passport difficult
ties, and this causes Mrs. Recanzone
much distress. She made application
for the necessary document in plenty
of time. but things were miexd at the
national capital. After much delay
inquiries were instituted by County
Clerk Davey. which elected the infor-
nation that the application for a
passport for Mrs. Recanzone had not
been received at Washington.
After waiting and wiring some more
Mr.. Davey finally told Mrs. Recanzone
that she would have to make another
application, and advised her to come
to Winnemucca for that purpose
This noon a telegram came from
Washington stating that previous in.
formation regarding the passport hat
been wrong; that 1t had been granted
executed, and mailed November IL
The document, Clerk Davey thinks
should be in Winnemucca today, bu
II will not relieve Mrs. Recanzone's
disappointment, as it must be sent t
San Francisco to be vised by the Ital
ian consul there, and she cannot pos
sibly make the boat on which tbs
others will sail from New York.
The passport matter is just on
more of the amazing exhibitions o
