PACKED THEATRE TO
DOORS FOR CONCERT

People of Winnemucca answered the
question of whether they want band

by packing the American theatre to
the doors. Chairs were set out in the
aisles and the balcony steps were
crowded. Even then many who
thought they were getting there in
plenty of time had to go back home
disappointed because there wasn't
even standing room only.
The bandsmen did themselves proud.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY REPUBLICAN CLUB
FORMED AT ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

but not by sitting back and letting
George do all the work.
County Commissioner J. p. Ellison
made clear thoughtful talk on the
why's of Republicanism and why he is
extremely anxious to do all in his
power to secure success this year.
Frank Evans, former state assem-
blyman from Esmeralda county, talked
on political aspects and things to be
done to insure Republican success.
Mrs. Brady and Mrs. Adamson
touched on the women's place in poll
tics and the necessity for party affili-
alton and activity.
Several others spoke on similar sub
jeets and the meeting broke up to
meet again at the call of President
Moore.
Bylaws adopted by the club set
forth that all men and women who
are or will be voters at the coming
election are eligible to membership.
The purposes of the organization are
to enhance the interests of the Repub-
ican party in Humboldt county and
such other place or places as may be
reached by the influence of this or
ganization; to cooperate with other
clubs of similar nature and having
similar purposes; to assist in the cleo

A surprising feature of the meeting
held in Winneva hall Tuesday night to
organize a Humboldt County Republi-
can Club was the fact that there were
nearly as many women in attendance
as men. All of the ladies took lively
interest in political affairs and those
of them who spoke said the women Of
this community may be depended upon
to take more active interest in local,
state and national politics in future.
The meeting was called to order by
L. G. Campbell, chairman of the Hum
boldt County Republican County Com
mittee. j. c. Moore was elected tenn
porary chairman and w. III. Ayres
temporary secretary. Then the pur-
pose of the meeting was stated and
committee composed of l.. G. Camp
bell, Mrs. George Brady, Mrs. Morrell,
NJ. Reinhart and G.. l.. Tobin withdrew
to draft a resolution fayoring Organi-
zation and bylaws. These were
adopted and permanent officers elected
as follows: J. G. Moore, president:
c. j. Travers. secretary; G. Tho'en
treasurer. The number of vice-preci-
dents was left open to meet future
necessities in organizing every pre-
cinct in Humboldt county. For im,ae
mediate purposes j. p. Ellison wa
elected vice-president for the Rebel
Creek section, Mrs. Brady for Col
conda and F. b. Stewart for Paradise
Valley.
Several matters looking to success
of the Republican party in this county
were taken up and plans laid for
working them out in detail later on.
Committees necessary were appointed.
L. G. Campbell was the principal
speaker of the evening. He said the
club must work for more co-ordina-
ton in like clubs throughout the state
and suggested ways and means for
bringing about Republican success,
which he considers absolutely neces-
sary to stop state of intoxication in
legislative affairs. He read figures on
appalling" expenditures since the
armistice was signed, taken from the
Congressional Record. The worst Of
these expenditures. he said, were in
cluded in expenditures for ports and
terminals, taking for example the
port" of Charleston, from which no
ship sailed and upon which many mill
lions were expended He also dis
liked the idea of an army of income
tax collectors, running over the coun-
try with no knowledge of the work to
be done, but holders of jobs created
for the purpose of doing politics a;
expense of the public.
C. L. Tobin spoke at length on the
necessity for return to Republican
sanity in government as a means of
stopping the tendency toward So
cialism and I.w.Wism, but at the
same time said this should not be
taken as an arraignment of organized
labor. Real union men, he said, and
he had been one of them for years, are
not for sabotage and strife, but are
generally upright, honest men. only
striving for what's right.
~. Reinhart sounded note of warn
ing. He said a Republican President
may be a certainty after the coming
election, but many battle has turned
out disastrous because of Over-confi-
dence. He thought it is time for Re-
publicans in Humboldt county to wake
up and that many of them need
stirring up" Results can be achieved

BENG0A ESTATE IN
MIXED UP CONDITION
CHILDREN GIVEN TO AUNT IN
STEAD OF STEPMOTHER; FRANK
BENGOA, A BROTHER, CHARGES
FRAUD IN CLAIMS ON ESTATE

The Bengoa children, Josephine and
Emilia, were adopted in court yes
terday by Mrs. Manuela Aranguena,
an aunt of the children. Several wit
and the matter consumed about a
day. The children have been living
with their stepmother, Mrs. Francesca
Bengoa, who filed a petition to
adopt them, but a number of blood
relatives filed objections and petit
toned to have Mrs. Aranguena adopt
blood relative the preference. Mrs.
Bengoa and Mrs. Aranguena were
present throughout the proceedings
1t developed from the testimony
that Mrs. Bengoa had nothing, for a
certainty, with which to support the
children. except a widows allowance
her deceased husband. Domingo Ben
goa. From the testimony, Mrs. Aran
guena's husband, Jesus Aranguena
was little better off, but Martin
Echave, grandfather of the children,
and Frank Bengoa, their uncle, each
promised to help financially if it was
needed.
Mrs. Bengoa was represented by L.
o. Hawkins. while Mrs. Aranguena
was represented by William S. Bonni-
field and Thomas A. Brandon
Immediately after the adoption pro-
ceedings were disposed of the petit
tion of Frank Bengoa for letters of
guardianship of the persons and es-
tates of the same children was taken
up and the same witnesses who testi-
fed in the adoption matter gave testi-
mony Mrs. Bengoa left the court
room at this time and made no ap-
ptarance either in person or by at
torney. and the matter was uncon-
tested and the petition was granted
Mr.. Bengoa's bond was fixed at $500
which he furnished soon after and the
letters were issued to him.
Although Mrs. Bengoa was not
officially represented at this hearing,
L. o. Hawkins, her attorney in other
matters. remained throughout the
proceedings an interested spectator.
AS there is some Bengoa property in
the state of Oregon. in which the
children are assumed to have an in
terest. it is expected that a guardian
will be appointed for them there.
The Bengoa litigation is becoming
quite complicated and there promises
TO be lot of it yet to come. Domingo
Bengoa was believed to be rich man
at the time of his death. He was GER
tainly a man of large affairs. Claims
have been filed against his estate.
until now, If they shall all be allowed
il is doubtful If the estate is solvent
Frank Bengoa charges in his petition
to the court that some of these claims
are filed with the intent of defrauding
the children. and he testified in court
yesterday that after all just debts
were paid he believed the estate would
be worth s25,00o.

RENO CONVENTION
TO DEVELOP SCRAP
CONVENTION CALLED TO ELECT
SIX DELEGATES TO NATIONAL
CONVENTION; FIGHT WILL BE
FOR NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN

Reno will be a lively place next
anything, when Republicans from all
over the state will gather at the
heart of the state" and select six
delegates to the national convention
The Elko Free Press says that Mel
s. Badt of Wells, George Bowers st.
of Lamoille, Judge Curler of Elko,
of Carlin, Isaac Griswold of Starr VAL
ley, John d. McFarlane of Elko, Geo.
Ogilvie of Lee and Dr. Whitesides of
Elko will represent Elko county.
Humboldt county will be repre-
sented by Mrs. George Brady of Col
conda. l.. G.. Campbell, c. l.. Tobin and
w. H. Ayres of Winnemucca, and w.
H. Abel of Paradise Valley.
The fight in the convention will
center on the national committeeman
as this position is considered to be
very desirable one for the next four
years. 1t is conceded that the next
President of the United States will
be Republican and unless Senator
Henderson is defeated, or Republi-
can elected for congressman, all the
federal patronage in Nevada will be
distributed by the national committee
men. Sam Platt is using every eff
fort at his command to get this ap
pointment, and the delegates from
the Cow counties" and from the
southern part of the state are lined
up solidly against him, in an effort
to eliminate him from control of state
politics. Platt heads the "old gang"
and if the combination by the out
side counties is strong enough, it will
mean new faces in executive places in
the Republican party of the state.
Platt and his forces have been in
control for years and have delegated
to themselves autocratic powers in
years past. They have antagonized
the rank and file of the state. and to
restore harmony and get perfect
team work, Platt and his followers
must be eliminated, root and branch.
The outside delegates are going to
Reno with this impressed on their
minds by the voters from the different
counties, who believe that Plat
should step down and hand the reins
of political power to others, who have
not been so decisively beaten at the
polls. The people have had say re-
garding Platt at two elections. and he
was defeated both times. If he has
the interest of the party at heart he
will accept the mandate of the people
and not continue to push himself for
ward, where his presence is not de-
sired. And there can be no doubt but
the control of the party machine will
be wrested from the Platt faction next
Saturday.
Speaking of the convention the
Reno Gazette has the following to
say:
With the Republican state conven-
ton. to select delegates and alter
mates to the Republican convention in
Chicago, set for next Saturday, inter
est among members of the party in
Reno is becoming quite pronounced.
The convention. in which will be III
delegates. also will make recon-
mendation for appointment of national
committeeman to succeed Herbert G.
Humphrey. whose term will expire
this year.
The convention will be conducted
under the direction of the executive
committee of the state central COM
