MOTHER LODE ROCK
HELD BY AGED MAN

Workmen on Western Pacific
bridge gang thought they had crazy
man on their hands, and they asked
George Brady, as constable. to take
care of him. Brady was on his way
to Elko last Tuesday, over the w. p,
when the train stopped beside the
bridge workers, about seven miles
from Redhouse. The railroad men en-
treated Brady to go after the man,
who was camped beneath an iron
bridge of the Southern Pacific, about
mile distant. He had been securing
remnants and leavings from the camp
of the workers.
Brady promised to stop on his re-
turn trip next day. Wednesday. He
did SO. He found the aged man quite
comfortably fixed in his little camp.
He had canvas shelter, quilts, and
campfire. He said his name is Jones,
and he is prospector. He exhibited
samples of picture rock which he said
he had discovered near by, but which
Brady, who is familiar with such
from the mother lode, probably from
Nevada City or Grass Valley, Califor-
MIA He said the old man, although
unkempt, and perhaps a bit nutty on
mining matters lin which. case he is
not alone in Nevada), was not crazy
enough to warrant any interference
with his desert housekeeping. and he
was left undisturbed.
Brady did remark that he would
be pleased to have a whole lot of the
beautiful white quartz. with plenty of
free gold in it. which Jones exhibited.

BASKETBALL TEAMS TO PLAY
HERE NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT

Henry Ruckteschler, business man
ager for the Winnemucca Athletic
Association. announces two basketball
games for next Saturday night, to be
played in the high school gymnasium
commencing at 8 o'clock. The prin-
cipal game will be between the local
town" team, composed of members
of the association. and a similar team
from Lovelock. The game promises
to be fast and furious, as all old-time
basket-shooting stars have been
called out to help defeat the Pershing-
Williams.
Because Winnemuccans are used to
double-headers in basketball games, a
game has been arranged between two
teams composed of members of the
Athletic association which will in
clude comedy to entertain the audi
ence. One team will be costumed in
clown suits and the other in some
sort of feminine attire.

UNEXPECTED DEATH
OF RANCHER'S WIFE

Leaving a broken-hearted husband
and an infant less than four months
of age, Mrs. Milton w. Kelly passed
into the great beyond at 10 o'clock
last night at the hospital here, and
her going constitutes one of the sad
events of recent months. Death was
entirely unexpected. she being taken
ranches in Paradise Valley. which the
Kelly's have leased and where they
have made their home since marriage,
sick last Monday on one of the Abel
& Curtner ranches in Paradise VAL
ley, which the Kelleys have leased
and where they have made their home
since marriage. Tuesday ii was con-
sidered advisable to bring her to the
hospital. She sank rapidly. Not until
four hours prior to passing was death
apparent or thought probable. Cause
of death was not known and the ply
sician in charge, DR.. Giroux, held an
autopsy this morning at IL o'clock.
This afternoon the autopsy had
been performed, but cause of death
cannot be determined until tests have
been made at the university at Reno.
Mrs. Kelly was a native of Wash
ington, Kansas. twenty-seven years of
age last July. Her maiden name was
Dena Soller. Surviving are her hus-
band and baby, besides father and
mother. brother and three sisters
residing in Kansas. She was married
to Mr.. Kelly here two years ago last
July.
Here TO comfort the husband and
fether are Mrs. W. II. Abel of Willow
Point, his sister, and Elmer. Cathcart.
his cousin.
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed, but it is thought the
body will be taken TO Washington,
Kansas, for burial.

SHOULD PLAN WITH
LEGISLATORS EARLY

The following editorial utterance OF
the Ely Record, in regard to legisla-
lures and legislators, contains much
of good common sense, and is worthy
of consideration by citizens of all
counties in Nevada:
The people of Pershing county have
organized a committee on legislation
which. during the session of the COM
ing legislature will be in close touch
with the delegation from that county,
and this is sensible thing and good
politics, says the Ely Record. 1t has
been the custom in Nevada from time
immemorial to elect almost anybody
to the legislature, regardless Of quail
fications, and then send him to the
legislature without even a hint as to
what the people need or would like
to have in the way of new laws.
Hence it not infrequently happens
that lot of fool laws are passed,
while measures that are really need
ed, and would be of benefit to the
state, are neglected. We take it for
granted that all members of the legis-
lature would like to hear from the
people in regard to legislation, and
therefore the action of the people of
Pershing county in forming legis-
lative committee is a step in the right
direction.
Fortunately, White Pine county is
represented by strong and able del
egation, which will be able to accom-
plish more, perhaps, than that of any
other delegation in the state; hence
it naturally follows that if our people
want something in the way of new
laws, or the resembling of old ones,
it would be well for them to let their
wants be known before the delegation
leaves for Carson City.
Ranchers and stockmen already are
organized. and through their organi-
zation they can formulate such ideas
as to them would seem beneficial to
the state. They are largely interested
in taxation. water and grazing rights,
etc., and doubtless will have a num-
ber of laws which they will want
enacted; and this being the case, it
would be well to call meeting of
their association, at which time these
matters could be discussed with the
delegation before it's departure.
1t is probable that labor, which is
a powerful element in the prosperity
and upbuilding of the country, will
want some changes in the present
laws, and also the passing of new
laws, which it would be well to talk
over with our delegation before its
departure; and it is also probable
that the business interests of the
community may have ideas in regard
to new laws which, it would be well
to consider.
If our delegation is advised of the
wants of its constituency in time, it is
far more apt to reach good results.
than by waiting until the session is
half over, and then receive a demand
for a number of laws, or changes in
laws.

STAGE FOLK STRIVE
TO MAKE HAPPINESS

Let us talk a bit about the show
because when regular road COM
pany strikes Winnemucca 1t is not
merely a show, II is "the show" A
real good, celebrated. rapid-fire farce
was produced at the Nixon opera
house Tuesday evening. and its re-
ception was somewhat problematical:
that is. the show folk could hardly
tell whether late and spicy "city stuffo
Is appreciated here. One citizen said
after the production, he had never
realized before the difference in audi-
ences. He had seer Up in MabeI,s
Room" in San Francisco not many
days ago. and he said one man and
one woman in the bis town audience
became uncontrolaD.e with laughter
The manager of the company. Fred +
Fleck, said the finer points of the dia
logue were not caught by the Winnie
mucca audience: while Sager Midgley
the finished actor who took the lead
ing part of Garry Ainsworth, a man
of wide theatrical experience. thought
the local audience was appreciatiye
out not demonsf,at,ve.
Human beings are much the same
wherever you liLd them" he philo-
sophically remarked. They enjoy the
same things, and are thinking much
the same way. although they do ap-
pear TO act differently These are
good people out In sront. and enjoy
playing to them. You caa tell how
an audience feels. Tney are enjoying
the show, and we are doing our best"
Midgleys remark called to mind
one strange superstition of Winnie
mucca people - perhaps the same
thought prevails in other small towns
where big shows occasionally stop to
break long jump" 1t is that shows
are cut when produced here. You
can never attend the local theatre
without finding some wise guy" to
tell you the show is not at all the
same as they put 1t on "in the city"
This is blind superstitition, or suspi-
cion, whichever you like to call it.
To try to cut the production of lot
of trained players would be to lead
them into irremediable confusion and
spoil the show entirely.
IL is true that in the local opera
house large scenery sometimes can
not be placed because OF restricted
space This was the case in the pre-
sentation of up in Mabel's Room"
In the first act, for instance, the char
acters are supposed to "enter" down
a stairway. The, stairs could not be
set up here. There were ceilings and
fancy chandeliers. likewise, which
had to be dispensed with. But not
a line was omitted from any part. A
moments reflection should convince
one that this could not be done, espe-
cially in a skit like up in Mabel's
Room" which is almost entirely de-
pendent on the dialogue.
Then again. sometimes one hears
that the actors do not try particularly
hard to please what they deem
"hick" audience. The writer has dis
covered. at every show" he has at
tended in Winnemucca that quite the
contrary Is the case. The shows
which stop here on the transconti-
mental journey are big and successful
productions. BY the same token they
employ good people; and good actors.
