court Accordingly. within few
days, says the News, various bottles,
jugs and containers of jackass brandy
seized in many raids made through
out the state, will be broken and the
contents poured out on the ground
or down the sewer. Distilling out
fits and quantities of mash and other
ingredients used in making stuff with
real wet-time kick in it also will
be put beyond the possibility of use
intended by their original owners.
The only exception made in the order
was a quantity of sugar which is to
be returned to l.. H. Wilson.
This order will make possible the
emptying of safes and storerooms at
the Federal building and providing
room for fresh supplies as result
of activities of the prohibition en-
forcement officers. And to judge from
the number of raids made during the
past few days in different parts of the
states, adds the News, vault capacity
may again be taxed to the limit. and
that very soon.

RENO WILL Be PLACE
Of Ice. HEARINGS

The matter of railroad freight and
passenger rates is of vital interest to
every citizen, whether he be a trav-
eler or shipper. or not. The following
appeal from the Public Service Com
mission deserves careful attention
and cooperation from every reader:
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion hearing on advance rates and
fares which was originally set for
Carson City on December /. 1920. has
been changed to Reno on December
6. This case involves the attack of
the Nevada railroads upon the Rail-
road Commission of Nevada on ac-
count OF the refusal of that commits
sion to grant horizontal increases on
intrastate business corresponding to
the 20 to so per cent horizontal in
creases in rates and fares by the Fed
eral commission on interstate busi-
ness.
1t will be recalled that the rail-
roads, at the hearing before the State
commission, refused to submit any
evidence upon the issues; but 1t ap-
peared that the Nevada rate and fares
already were higher than those of
other states, and, without any show
ing of necessity for an increase. the
application was denied
This case is of vital interest to the
people of Nevada and the coming
hearing will be one step in determin-
ing whether the internal railroad af-
fairs of the State will be regulated
by. local officials, or by Federal off,
GERS at Washington. who cannot know
and will not be greatly interested in
the needs of Nevada people. In every
case where producers, shippers, and
consumers have an interest in rates
and fares, and in preserving their
local government. they should send at
once to the Railroad Public Service
Commission strong statement re-
garding the matter and requesting
such adjustment as may be necessary
to their community or industries.

WEALTHY SHEEPMAN !
FOUND ON RAILROAD

Found unconscious on Elko railroad
tracks Sunday afternoon, with $780,
900 worth of securities in his pockets
Joe Bengochea, the well-known mill
lionaire sheepman OF Mountain Home
Idaho. was taken to the county jail
at that city before he was recognized.
according to the Free Press. He lay
on the track near the Elko lumber
yards when found.
When officers arrived at the scene
in response to a hurry-up call, they
were under the impression that the
man was stranger and had been
the victim of an accident or assault.
or had fallen from passing Southern
Pacific train, and therefore took him
to the jail. A hasty examination of
his pockets showed notes and securi-
ties amounting to nearly 100000, and
papers showed that he was Basque.
A telephone call soon brought Pete
Jauregui to the bastile, who at once
recognized the stranger as Mr.. Ben
gochea and had him removed to his
hotel. A doctor was called and a
nurse put in charge, and in a few
hours the man had regained con-
sciousness and Monday he was pro-
nounced out of danger.
Bengochea told his friends Monday
that he had not felt well and had
nothing to eat since he left Mountain
Home; that when he arrived at Elko
on the afternoon train he went direct
TO restaurant and ate hearty meal
and Immediately afterward started for
a walk, thinking that the fresh air
would do him good; that when he ar
rived opposite the Elko Lumber Com
pany yards he felt dizziness coming
on, and that was the last he remem-
bered.
All this, in connection with what
the officers say, leads 10 the conclu-
sion that Bengochea had started to
cross the tracks above the lumber
yard. and that he was taken with a
fainting spell and fell across the
tracks. Owing to the prominence of
the man and the fact that he was
found in such dangerous position, a
rumor that he had tried to commit
suicide was started also that he had
lost all of his vast fortune through
the big slump in the wool and sheep
business.
: These stories were all denied Men
day by friends of Bengochea. who
says that, while he was hard hit by
the slump-as was every sheepman
he is still wealthy man and is run
ming $4,000 head of sheep. They also
pointed out that if he was bankrupt
he would not be likely to have nearly
a hundred thousand dollars worth of
securities in his pockets.
