WILD CAT INFECTED WITH
RABIES, REPORT FROM RENO

A letter written by DR.. ]. s. Web
ster, health officer, to the Liotard
Land & Live Stock Company, is as
follows:
"An examination of the brain of the
wild cat shows it to have had rabies.
Referring to cows that may have been
bitten by this animal, the milk is not
likely to contain the rabies virus be-
fore the cows are taken sick. But if
the cows show any signs of being sick
the milk should not be used at ALL"
This is in conformity with report
from the University of Nevada, Reno.
Dr. Webster forwarded the head of a
wild cat killed on the Liotard ranch
about a week ago and received the
report today. The wild cat had been
fighting with dogs and had bitten sew
eral cows on the ranch.

LOy[LOCK MOVES
TO SPLIT COUNTY

Winnemucca, naturally enough, is
call agog" over the county division
scheme proposed by Lovelock. The
most accurate information regarding
just what Lovelock is after is con-
tanned in a report from the special
legislative correspondent of the Reno
Gazette. The gist of this report is as
follows:
Senator Friedman has received a
petition from some some of the most
prominent citizens of the Lovelock
end of Humboldt county, asking that
the county be devided. The de-
struction of the court house at Winnie
mucca by fire, and the proposal to
issue bonds to build a new one are
said to be the cause of the movement.
Taxpayers at Lovelock are said to be
opposed to the bond-issue proposi-
tion. The dividing line spoken
of would just about cut the county in
half The Winnemucca end would
have a little the best of IL on a popu-
lation basis. but the division of as
sessed valuation would be slightly in
favor of the Lovelock end"
The division of the county. accord
ing to this correspondents informa-
tion, is to be asked for on an east and
west line which would strike Mil

Business Mems Association of Winnie

At press time no word had been
received from the Winnemucca dele
cation which went to Carson City yes
terday in the interest of the court
house bonds. further than that the
county division bill had been intro
duced No accurate information as
to just what Lovelock asks for has
yet arrived. 1t is not supposed here
that the instigators of the move intend
to consult with Winnemucca or the
remainder of the country before max
ing their demands.
During the day evidences of disap-
proval of the action of Lovelock have
begun to accumulate from outside this
city. A. ]. Crowley of Sulphur is
in town and said he had forwarded a
protest to Carson. John Thornton OF
Unionville. a heavy taxpayer. declared
himself opposed to any division of the
county. These gentleman. and man
from Kennedy. remarked upon the in
accessibility of Lovelock as a county
seat for anything except Lovelock.

RED CROSS WORK
Is WORTH $4,000

Winnemucca Chapter, American
Red Cross, held its postponed annual
meeting last evening in the Episcopal
parish house. This was the meeting
scheduled for last October, when the
"flu closing" movement put ban on
all assemblages.
Some facts were brought out at this
annual meeting, through reports sub
mitted, which will no doubt be amaz-
ing as well as gratifying to the aver
age reader. The biggest thing is the
Production Report" which may be
referred to in the double-column mat
ter in the center of this page. A COM
putation of the Red Cross production
shows that the articles for war use.
valued at present prices, amount in
the aggregate to more than $25,000 in
value.
Cash in bank to the amount of ST.
297 is another gratifying feature. This
money belongs, it is said, to the Amer
ican Red Cross, but it is expected the
greater part of it. at least. will be re-
tanned and used locally, in further
ance OF work for which the Red Cross
is organized. This covers relief to
needy soldiers and their families, per-
haps in the way of transportation to
where employment awaits them. This
entire matter is known as Home Serv-
ice work.
The canteen committee is to be con-
tinued, and first-aid kit is to be in
stalled at Winnemueca railroad sta
tions, so that sick or suffering sol
diers may be promptly attended to
If necessary. a nurse will be prepared
to board a troop train or coach and

TABERNACLE SITE ON MAIN STREET
 SOLD YESTERDAY

The tabernacle site, between Main and State street, and between Tenth avenue and Martin avenue, compris- ing more than two blocks, was sold yesterday by c. s. McNew X Son, for the McGehee estate to F. O. McGahee and J. A. Mcleod The sale was made to the purchasers Independently, though it was consummated in one deal. They plan to plat the property and sell it off as business lots. The purchase price was not announced, but it is thought that the sum was around $30000.
 This property was put on sale some weeks ago. and the closing of the Geal is said to be one of the biggest real estate deals in this city in some months. The property is considered ideal for business lots, as the trend of the business district seems to be south on Main street.
 The tabernacle did not figure in the deal. It is the property of the Teb- ernacle Committee, comprising mem bers from various churches in the city. The tabernacle lease expires in October.
