HOW P|CKFORD WAS
CURED IN ; WEEKS

People have been wondering why
il was possible for Mary Pickford to
spend about two weeks in Ncvad.
and get a decree of divorce without
having to be .'e5icent OF the state
the full period of six months re
quired in moct cases. These persons
are either forgetful or unmindful of
the fact that TIE practice of the
courts of the state in occasionally
granting divorce DEGREES on very
short notice, says the Carson City
News, is governed by supreme court
decision that originated in the Tiede-
mann case, which was tried in
Ormsby county.
The records show that Gertrude
Eleanor Tiedemann was living in the
county of Ormsby when her husband
Rudolph Ernest Tiedemann, came
from Norwich, Connecticut, and in
stituted habeas corpus proceedings
to get possession of their minor
child. He lost out and his wife
started suit for divorce. The allega-
tions in the complaint failed to es-
tablish the period of residence neces-
sary in the opinion of Judge Langan
and he dismissed the proceedings
From this judgment of dismissal, Mrs
Tiedemann appealed to the supreme
court. The part of the law construed
in the opinion written by Justice Nor
cross was the following:
"The legal residence of a person
with reference to his or her right of
suffrage, eligibility to Office. right of
naturalization, right to maintain or
defend any suit at law or in equity
or any other right dependent on re-
sidence is that place where he or she
shall have been actually, physically
and corporeally present within the
state or county, as the case may be,
during all of the period for which re-
sidence is claimed by him or her '**
In brief and in effect where 1t is
proved that the plaintiff has lived in
Nevada during all the time claimed

'.FLIRTING- ROOM CAUSES BIG
INCREASE IN BUSINESS

A linotype machine is a wonderful
invention, so wonderful in fact, that
1t often takes notion and says queer
things. For instance, last week the
Smart Shop ladies handed in a local
in which they said fitting room for
dressmaking had been opened at .haf
estab' ishment. and behold, when the
paper aas printed, the local said that
flirting room" had becr opened.
1t cost the editor a good sized box OF
candy to square himself and the
ladies of the Smart Shop lave been
subjected to considerable joshng as
well as an increase in business but
not in the flirting line Gardnerville

$4,000 PLANT FOR
TUNGSTEN PRODUCTS

Winnemucca has been chosen by
l.. f. Sewers and associates as the
building site for plant to manufac-
ture sodium tung5tatc, tungstic acid,
tungsten powder, caustic soda, cal
cium chloride, sodium compounds and
various acids used in refining metals
The decision to erect the $4,000 plant
in this city was reached after sur
vey of raw material production points.
For instance the firm will secure sui
phur at the town of that name thirty
five miles west of Winnerucca; tung-
stem can be secured from mines in
both directions and salt is obtainable
from the Carson Sink or western
Utah. Altogether, Sewers says, this
city is the logical center and has the
ADDED advantage of being on the two
great transcontinental railroads. A
tentative site has been selected just
east of the city, between the two
rights of way. In addition to the
manufacturing plant an oil-burning
furnace will be installed to handle
gold, silver and lead concentrates.
Articles of incorporation for the
company, to be known as the Silver
State Chemical Company. were filed
yesterday and stock-selling cam
oaign has been inaugurated.

themselves pitted against their old
opponents, Elko. This contest re-
suited in a victory for the Winnie

BASQUE FOUND WITH
THROAT cUT;;SU|C|DE

A coroner's inquest was held this
morning by Judge Ritchie over the
death of John Oyhandeguy. found by
children yesterday beneath the South
ern Pacific freight platform with his
throat cut from ear to ear.
Evidence brought out that Oyhande-
guy had come to Winnemucca last
Friday morning from a sheep camp
near Gerlach, looking for a sheep
herder. He was employed by Harry
Cook, a resident of Eagleville, Cali
fornia. He went to the Busch hotel,
complained of feeling i'll and secured
the services an interpreter to explain
to a physician his condition, he not
being able to speak English. He was
of opinion he was suffering from ap-
pendicitis.
The physician visited testified that
he found no indications of appendi-
citis; that he had examined the body
after death and judged Oyhandeguy
to have been thirty-five years of age
He said the mans throat was cut
from ear to ear, severing juglars and
artery; that the wound could have
been selfi-inflicted and would prob
ably caused Inconsistencies in thirty
seconds and death by loss of blood.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict of suicide.

GOVERNMENT WOOL
! AUCTIONS FAILURES

At the government wool auction at
Boston, the following lots were
offered to the trade: About 3,700.-
900 pounds greasy Australian cross
breds; 100000 pounds greasy Austria
liam crossbred lambs; 10000 pounds
secured Australian crossbreds; o.
100000 pounds New Zealand cross
breds; $4,000 pounds tops.
Judging from the result of the sale
II is evident that the trade is not very
anxious for low grades of wool. Be
cause of the low character of the wool
offered, attendance at the sale was
the smallest since the auctions were
;naugurated
OF the first 100 lots offered 81 were
withdrawn and for the nineteen sold
the prices received were generally at
the government minimum Greasy 46s
fifty-four cents pound clean Greasy
Sos ordinary. little fault, seventy-one
cents clean, and greasy sos ordinary,
little fault, sixty-three cents clean
J. Koshland & Co. and ]. Rosenthal
Brothers were the largest buyers.
Freight tie-ups and the coal short
age have played havoc with the wool
manufacturing industry generally, and
the Boston market is very quiet. Tc

has been almost impossible. Hun
dreds of cars of wool, tops, yarns, and
other materials are frozen up. Ship
ments out of the city have fallen of
sixty per cent and were it not foi
wool imports by sea. wool receipts
would show a greater decline.
Fine wools. tops and noils maintain
their strength, being quoted at $210
$500 and S110 respectively. Low
grades are practically neglected
Very little has been done in the mat
ter of contracting for early western
clips. The growers are asking high
prices and the eastern buyers have
adopted waiting policy.
The favorable exchange position for
English exports of wooden products is
developing an appreciable increase in
shipments of these goods to the
American market.
Steamship men say that cargoes OF
these goods are larger than ever be-
fore. Domestic manufacturers are
not yet alarmed over competition
from this source. and will not be
until English production improves
To date the combers, by refusing to
work extra hours on account of their

completely blocked all efforts to IN
crease British production. There is
wool enough in the world for all
purposes once production gets under
full swing and consumers cease tc

NO ABERTHAw JOBS SHUT DOWN

The weather man, or whoever else is responsible for the winter now presumably passing into history, owes the people of Boston and vicinity 525 degrees of heat. Such, at least, is the implication of a bulletin which The Aberthaw Construction Go. is sending to it's various clients. For Boreas did his best to delay con struction work from November, 1919, straight through until the first warm sun of March set the drifts to slow consumption.
 Such a winter has added immeas- urabIy to the difficulties of construc- ton work, in that it has entailed much difficult shoveling of snow and has called for the use of heating ap- paratus to protect work and workers alike. Despite these difficulties, augmented as they have been by rail- road paralysis and consequent delay in delivery of materials, no Aberthaw jobs have shut down, and nearly all have proceeded very nearly in accord , ance with schedule.
