FINAL DECISION in NEHLS AND
STANLEY VERSUS STOCK co.

A remittitur has been received by
the district court here from the state
supreme court in the vase of Oscar
Nehls and Fay Stanley versus William
Stock Farming Company. On the Sth
of October the case was argued in the
supreme court and the judgment of
$500 obtained by Nehls and Stanley
in the district court was reversed. A
petition for rehearing was filed with
the supreme court by counsel for
Nehls and Stanley, which was on the
9th of December denied and the
former judgment reversing the action
of the lower court was affirmed The
case was tried here in April. 1918
Nehls and Stanley having obtained
judgment against the William Stock
Farming Company for $35Oo for dam
ages in connection with a lease of
farm lands which the plaintiffs had
leased from the defendant company.

NEW PROH|B POINT
IN DISTRICT COURT

One more point in the prohibition
law tangle, not thought to have been
touched in other cases, will be decided
because of suit to replevin ten
gallon keg of whiskey and 504 bottles
of Old Crow whisky. valued at $1,000,
which was filed yesterday in district
court by Jesus Aranguena. through
his attorneys, Campbell. Robins &
Salter United States Marshal Tom
Pickett is named as defendant.
In addition to filing suit. Aranguena
also secured writ of replevin, which
requires that Marshal Pickett shall
either deliver the wet goods to Aran-
guena or furnish bond for its value,
within five days from yesterday.
During June of last year Aranguena
and two other Basques were arrested
by county officers near Sulphur and
charged with illegally transporting
intoxicating liquors. The arrests were
made on "tip" from federal authori-
ties. who afterwards took up the
case. T. +. Powell. district attorney
of Humboldt county. then dismissed
the state charge. The prisoners were
taken to Carson City and sentenced in
federal court to light fines and inn
prisonment
1t is contended that there is nothing
in the federal wartime prohibition
statute providing for confscation and
destruction of liquor, referring to cir
cumstances attendant to this case.

STATE POLICE WILL
Be RE-0RGAN|zEO

Reorganization of the state police
so as to meet new conditions imposed
by the national prohibition amend
ment and so that the state will be
better able to cooperate with the fed
eral authorities in the enforcement of
prohibition laws is planned at once,
according to an announcement made
by Governor Boyle.
The reorganization plans include
the maintenance of an active force in
the field at all times, but lack of funds
will make it impossible to increase
the number of men in the organiza-
ton, the governor says. The appro-
priation made by the last legislature
was intended sufficient to keep eight
men in the field, but the strike dis
orders, particularly in Nye county,
cut a great hole in the fund.
A conference will be held within the
next week or ten days. the governor
said, between himself. Superintend-
dent Henrichs of the state police and
federal authorities TO agree upon a
cooperative policy. 1t will be the
policy of the state. the governor said
to cooperate with local officials in
the enforcement of the state prohi
bition law.
The governor has announced that
Percival Nash, who was stationed at
Tonopah during the labor disorders
and has been at Reno for some time
was dropped from the state police on
December 81.

TAX FORMS READY
FOR DELIVERY soon

Classified forms for filing federal in
come tax returns for 1919 will be
available not later than January Is.
ii has been announced at the Office of
the collector of internal revenue.
Forms will be mailed to all corpora
tions and individuals in the district
who filed returns last year. Others
may secure the necessary form from
district deputies. The period for fl
ing returns expires March Is, 1920.
To avoid penalty, every person
whose income tax for the last year
equaled or exceeded $1,000, or $4,000,
according to their martial status as
the head of a family, must file re-
turn. The law makes no exceptions,
the penalty for failure being a fine
of not more than $1,000. The normal
tax for 1919 is four and eight per
cent against six and twelve per cent
for 1918.
For the benefit of income taxpay-
ers free advisory service by trained
deputy collectors. agents and in
spectors will be established in every
county in the district and official adj
vice and help will be rendered tax
payers with respect to filing their re-
turns.
"In this connection" says the col
lector, Il desire to warn the public
against the wiles of numerous So
called income tax experts. who this
year are early in the field offering to
use their magic wands of income tax
wisdom to relieve the busy taxpayer
from all worries about his tax liza
bility. Taxpayers should discriminate
carefully between really helpful,
authoritative advice in tax matters
and the irresponsible brand peddled
under glitering pretenses.

GROUND SQUIRRELS
CAUSE OF BIG Loss

The ever increasing seriousness
among the farmers and stockmen.
OF the rodent problem in Nevada. and
a method of complete determination,
is dwelled upon by Charles II. Nor
CROSS. director of agricultural ex-
tension, in a recent issue of the Ne
vada Stockgrower as follows:
Ground squirrels and jackrabbits
are maintained in Nevada at an an
ntlal cost of between $2,500,000 and
s5,000,000. We may therefore class
such rodents as a somewhat expen-
sive luxury. 1t is only recently that
we have awakened to any realization
of the rodent problem. The more it
is investigated the bigger it gets. The
past two years the extension division
and biological survey have been COL
lecting some first-hand information,
which is not complete by any means,
but enough to show up the rodent
as the major range and farm problem
in the state today.
Jackrabbits and ground squirrels
subsist on substantially the same
range vegetation and farm crops as
livestock. While the information is
somewhat indefinite as to the number
of such rodents that will consume
and destroy as much as a steer. one
investigator putting it as low as
fifteen, it seems safe to assume, until
better evidence is presented. that
about twenty or twenty-five at the
outside will represent the destruction
of feed that would support a steer
and that about five such rodents
would Offset a sheep. If, on the 50.-
100000 acres of range lands in the
state, there were an average of one
jackrabbit and one ground squirrel
to every eight acres, the destruction
of grazing forage would be about as
much as the total consumption of all
our range cattle and sheep.
We have on the range area men,
