NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH IN ACCIDENT

Edward Bailey, a miner employed
at the Kramer & Planck mine, three
miles west of Valmy, was the victim
of an accident that nearly took his
life last Monday. Bailey has string
of traps set near the mine and that
morning had caught coyote in one
STOPPING over to set the trap he ac-
cidentally discharged a 20 calibre
rife he was carrying, the bullet pass
ing through the apex of his right lung
and lodging in the back muscles of
his neck. That he was enabled to
walk back to camp is considered won
derful, as the bullet barely missed a
main artery. Bailey is well known
here.
DR.. Liggett was called to attend
the wounded man and found him suf-
fering from shock and an infiamma-
tory condition that made it advisable
to leave him at the mine for time
When sufficiently recovered Bailey

OIL COMPANIES ARE
ACTIVE AT FALL0N

FALLON, Sept 29.-The discovery
we'll on the Fallon Oil &c Gas Com
pany property is now being cemented.
AS there is about 1900 feet of water
standing in the well, the pressure
must be pretty heavy and the man.
agment was afraid to leave the we'll
unprotected any longer else the water
pressure might force the oil back
and ruin the whole district, as has
been known to happen in. other
fields. The well was left open three
days, that anyone who wished could
go out and see 1t and take any
samples he wished. 1t Is estimated
that between eight and ten barrels
have been taken away in bottles and
oilcans. One party took five oil
cans full and another filled thirty
six quart jars. but for the most part,
the oil was taken by parties who con-
sidered quart bottle a sufficient
sample. Time will be allowed for
the cement to harden, when drilling
will be resumed.
The Big Four Oil Company Is now
down 1926 feet with the stovepipe
casing landed at the 270-foot point
and now using 12a-inch casing. At
270 feet a strong seepage was cut in
to. 1t carried enough oil that the
sludge water showed it in small pools
The fiscal agents of the Big Four, w.
b. Nichols & Sons, have been very
successful in financing this company
and are now devoting their attention
pany. They have wired to hurry up
the shipment of the standard rig
ordered some time ago. 1t will be
taken to the property and erected as
soon as it arrives
The Churchill County Oil & Gas
Company has wired their driller to
return from his vacation in Califor-
mia and to resume drilling at once
The Diamond Oil Company has re-
ceived an oil leasing permit and is
drilling. AT shallow depth they cut
into an oil seepage that carried some
oil, but no effort was made to de-
velop it to see what it would pro-
duce. Their intention is not to stop
| drilling this side of $50 feet, unless
oil in commercial quantity is de-
veloped at lesser depth.
The Weaver Oil Company has also
received permit and will star
| drilling again. They quit at $50 feet
Other Fallon companies that have re-
ceived their permits are the Crescent
Oil Company the Consolidated Oil
& Potash Co., and the Fallon Petro-
leum Company.

CHARLES RAY In FINE

Who of us has not fallen, at some
time or other. for one of those allur-
ing advertisements that promise us a
fortune for selling some miraculous
new invention?" In the case Of
Charles Ray in "Bill Henry" at the
American theatre tomorrow, it was
an electric vibrator that was to bring
him barrels of gold. But as a sales
man. Bill Henry was a ''flivver," and
especially when he charged his vibra-
tor with electricity and tried it out on
the sensitive anatomy of rehumatic! !!
Bill transferred his talents to the
hotel business at once, where he had
more success and fought a terrific
and successful battle for a girl and
a fortune. "Bill Henry" has the same
intensely human quality that per-
vades all the Charles Ray pictures
and is crowned with laughs, cheers
and thrills. 1t is up to the highest
standards of the popular Paramount

STEWART NAMED AS
NEVADA CHAIRMAN
Especial CorrespondenceI


little to say about the Tuesday meet
ing of Republicans at Carson for the
selection of a state central committee
and its chairman. The assemblage
was absolutely harmonious. There
was little talk. Everybody knew what
was to be done and proceedings were
expeditions. A caucus at the Arling-
ton had gone over the matter Of state
chairman Monday night. The ques-
ton was. Who is the most available
man at this moment, ali things con-,
sidered? After careful consideration
of half-dozen candidates, not one.
of whom was pressing his claims.
Mayor Harry Stewart of Reno was
selected as the person for the inten-
sive job. He is the right man. Not
all members of the state committee
were named at this meeting.
So far as Republicans heard at
Carson, the Democratic meeting also
was without friction, but it was more
protracted. Charles l.. Richards was
named as state chairman. A part of
the duties of these meetings, as pre-
scribed by Nevada statute, is to pre-
pare and publish the platforms upon
which the political parties in the state
ask the suffrage of the people. The
law limits the time in which this is
to be done to two days. Both parties
complied promptly, and the resulting
platforms may fairly be said to set
forth what was uppermost in the
minds of representative politicians.
A comparison of the documents
should be a startling disclosure to
Nevada voters. Bearing in mind the
fact that national platforms were
long ago adopted, and that those Of
Tuesday are state platforms. it is dis
closed that Democrats of Nevada have
nothing to say for themselves!
Quite the contrary is the Republi-
can document. 1t heartily indorses
Tasker l.. Oddie and Samuel s.
Arentz as our candidates for United
States Senator and Representative in
Congress. respectively. and pledges
them the united support of the Re-
publican party in Nevada Then it
mentions. quite decidedly. that agri-
culture and mining are suffering from
Democratic laws; that the excess
profits tax has a very different appli-
cation to Nevada mines than to East
ern factories; that Democratic tariffs
have spelled disaster for wool. cattle,
and mutton in Nevada. II demands
practical recognition of the prospec-
tor for minerals and oil in the West,
condemning the so-called oil leasing
law which Fallon and other sections
are now suffering from.
The platform recognizes, although
not in so many words, that reclama-
ton laws are being made by Eastern
Senators and Representatives who
have no practical understanding of
the needs of the West, and that good
results are not obtained therefrom.
1t pledges the party in this state to
forward a policy of good roads. And
last. but not least, it affirms the point
made clear by Candidate Arentz in
his speeches. that there is neither
justice nor wisdom in Federal laws
which offer to Nevada, with its popu-
lation of less than one to the square
mile, only the same ratio of assistance
in road building which is received by
states one-third the size, with one
hundred times the population. The
Republican state platform is a strong

The result of the nationwide straw
vote that is being taken by the Rex

try indicates sweeping victory for
the Republican party at the polls
next November. The ballot had been
counted up to the 23rd of September
according to the first bulletin and of
the total vote of 76,1O6 cast in the
northern, western and middle west
ern states. Harding had 51,103 to 25,
003 for Cox, or more than double the
vote of the Democratic candidate.
Harding Elected
Eliminating the southern states, ac-
cording to the returns to the date of
the bulletins. Harding would receive
a total of 353 electoral votes to 3 for
Governor Cox. Governor Cox carried

The Republican nominee carried

Cox. The Democratic nominee won
the southern states getting 17,0l5
votes to 10,494 cast for Harding. In
the south Cox would get LAT electoral
votes to 8 for the Republican candi-
date.
Harding Strong

Drug Company and it was from the
home Office that the bulletin was is

OF the electoral vote. Harding got
36l TO $50 for Cox. 1t requires but
266 electoral votes to elect.
In Columbus
While the straw vote of the Rexall
stores is being conducted throughout
the country and is receiving nation
a al recognition. there are other straw
votes being taken. Thirty thousand
motion picture theatres using the
films released by the Associated First
National Pictures, Inc. have sent out
the result of their first days ballot
ing. The report states that Harding
is still running strongly ahead OF
Governor Cox. The vote in Columbus
the first day of balloting, was Harding

town and so the vote is a complete
surprise.
New York City
That the hold OF Tammany has on
New York is not being tightened for

that city. Harding has S267 there to

NEW PLAN FOR HOLDING NET EVENT ADVOCATED

New York, December 1.-The nation s premier lawn tennis event, the national singles championship tourney, will be held in large cities in rotation if the plan advocated today by three men prominent in tennis circles before the executive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis association is put into ef- feet They were George T. Adee, Jos eph M. Jennings and George W. Wight nan. representing respectively New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
 It developed that special session had been held here Friday night, at which c. s. Landers, president of the Vest side Tennis club, and Francis White, Germantown Cricket club, Philadelphia, lad conferred with the committee named. This meeting was harmonious, Philadel- phia wanting the tournament only if it is for the best interests of the game. The committee will make it's report to the national association meeting in Feb ruary, it's findings to depend largely upon the result of the approaching Davis cup matches in New Zealand.
 Wherever. the championship may be held an attempt will be made to limit the entry list. Delegates to the annual meeting will vote upon a new rule to limit the list to those who have been ranked among the first 50 during the past five years.

BROCCO AND COBURN WIN BIKE HONORS

New York, December II.
 Maurice Brocco and William Go burn, Italian-American
 team, won the twenty-ninth in-
