PHEASANTS TAKE CROPS
OF FALLoN RANCHERS

Monaghan pheasants are taking
certain of the crops on many of the
farms of this project. indicating
an increase in number since the
game birds we're landed here about
ten years Z that conforms to the
usual rate of propagation of the
species. J. w. Ferguson, living one
mile south of this city, complains
that the game laws are too strict and
contends that he should be allowed
to protect his property from depre-
dations by the pheasants. He is
particularly wrought up over the
fact that his strawberry patch which
Is yielding generously this year,
forms a special piece de resistance
for the marauding birds which he
drives out many times each day only
to find them back eating berries as
as he has turned his back. Now,
Mr.. Ferguson says Strawberries are
nearly worth their weight in gold
and that II he Is 10 be denied the
right TO kill the intruders in this in
stance he wants the county game
warden to protect his property, which
is a viewpoint that carries convincing
logic.-Falion Standard.

after Mr.. Callahan left him. The
bullet entered his mouth and
emerged behind one of his ears.
The body was not found until last
Saturday, when Mr.. Callahan return

Mr.. Anderson came to this coun-
try a year ago from Siseder, Sweden,
and has resided since at McDermitt.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN CRIMINAL
Is STILL AVOIDING ARREST

Nothing further has been heard

shot Constable Phelps five times
last Sunday. so 1t is assumed there
are no new Developments in the case.
and that Phelphs is still alive and
Blackie at large. One member OF the
state police arrived recently from
Battle Mountain to confer with local
officials. At first Sheriff Springer
was going TO accompany him in the
direction of Gold Circle, but the plan
was afterwards abandoned as use
less.
Word vas received that Phelps is
getting along well and that Blackie
has not yet been caught.
