DEAD BODY OF GIRL
LOCATED IN SLOUGH

A long search, which had enthralled
mystery lovers since the third of the
present month, was ended last Sunday
afternoon, when Lester and Joseph
Jury of Battle Mountain discovered
a body supposed to be that Of the
missing Amelia Holm, In a slough
near Kampos station. The remains
were taken to Battle Mountain after
coroner and his jury had viewed
them. Undoubtedly death resulted
from drowning.
Amelia Holm left a Western Pacific
passenger train November 3 while 'en
route from Oakland to her home at
Salt Lake City. No reason has ever
been ascribed for her action. Train
men reported that she was informed
that the station where she got of
was no place to leave the train, and
some reports have 1t that the girl was
scantily clad. Circumstances such as
are reported would lead to the con-
clusion that she became suddenly de-
mented. Many reports regarding her
disappearance have been in circula-
tion. but none of them have been
found to be authoritative. As nearly
as can be deduced. Miss Holm was
twenty~nine years old. Disposition OF
the body by Battle Mountain authori-
ties will await advice from the girls
parents.

YERINGTON SPORTSMEN FORM

The sportsmen of Yerington and
vicinity will this week form a sports
man club. the idea being to better en-
force the game laws and see that
game is protected. AS Mason Valley
is practically the only place in Ne
vada where the China pheasant has
been propagated successfully, the
real sporting element of that district
is going to see that game has a
chance--and not the game hog. The

Low RATES ~ MATER OFFERED
TO HELP WOOL GROWERS

couragement from recent shipments Of
wool to Boston by way of the Panama
canal. said j. C. White of Winnie

WEATHER NAN SAYS
RAIN WILL Be OVER

Fair and cooler tonight; Wednes-
day fair" says the winnemucca
weather man, but he doesn't say ii
with any severe degree Of decision.
In fact he shows trifling disposition
to hedge" when questioned closely
on the subject. He hopes the signs
will work this time, because some
citizens are complaining that ranch
ers are having too long an inning
with the pre-winter irrigation. 1t is
hard, says the weather man, to please
everybody.
From the mere layman's viewpoint
the gentle drizzle continues, with no
signs of a letup. Automobile JOY
riders think the weather is fierce. .
Pupils of the high school are fling
their more or less regular protest
regarding lack of sidewalks which
costs parents for shoe leather far
more than the expense of proper and
enduring footways leading to the
school building. Ranchers say the
roads are in bad condition" around
Willow Point, but still they smile over
prospects for next years crops.
Here is the box score. as kept by
the weather man:
Highest temperature yesterday, As.
Lowest this morning, 40.
Mean temperature yesterday, 40.
Normal temperature yesterday, 3S.
Precipitation, 0.47 inch.
Prevailing wind direction, north
east.
Humidity, plenty.
