he would take him to the hospital.
Hoering wanted to know who It was

haffey was employed as nurse.
An amazing fact Is that In spite of
having bullet hole through his head.
at q point generally termed the tenn

Hoering did not lose consciousness
yesterday. His pulse and tempera-
ture. according to the physician. were
entirely normal.
When seen and questioned yester-
day by reporters and authorities, Rev.
Hoering sat unaided on the side of
his bed and conversed seemingly in
telligently. Tests were made to see
II he could determine who was talk
ing to him and in each case he an
nounced the correct name. When
asked by Sheriff Brady IL he knew
who was talking to him. Hoering
said: "Oh. that's Brady. / could tell
you by your violin voice." Both men
are accomplished violinists.
When asked to tell the story Of
what had happened to him, Rev.
Hoering said:

took a road leading toward the
Southern Pacific tracks. branching
from the main road at the second
gate of the cemetery. 1t was SO cool

performance. There was apparently
only one man in 1t and was ready
to greet him. but could not make out

From then on Rev. Hoering was
prompted by questions, answering
them in about the following Ian

.Head wounds caused by
gun shot. Sight gone.-

Above is the gfst of telegram re-
ceived this morning by DR.. Pope from
Reno surgeons concerning the condi-
tion of Rev. Edward Hoering, who
was taken to Reno last night by Nurse
Mahaffey in an effort to save his eye-
sight. The telegram means that 1t
has been definitely ascertained that
bullet entered Rev. Hoerings head
at the temple, at least two inches be-
hind his eye, and emerged from the
other side OF his head at nearly the
same point 1t also means that his
eyesight has been completely de-
stroyed. probably because the bullet
severed optical nerves. Whether he
is expected to live or not was not
stated.
Today in Winnemucca the question
uppermost In the minds of people is
whether Rev. Hoering Ii the victim of
would-be murderer, q stray bullet
or an attempt at self-destruction,
opinion apparently being di-ided be-
tween the murder and suicide theo-
ries. with weight ON the side Of mur-
der because no powder burns are to
be seen near the wounds.
Latest developments in the case to-
day. aside from the surgeons report
at Reno. are that parts of Hoering's
clothing were found by Chief of Po-
lice Lamb. about 10 o'clock this morn
ing. His shoes were first found about
one-fourth mile northeast OF the Mil
Ter & Lux cattle corral. adjoining the
Southers Pacific tracks west of this
city. Thirty feet from where the
shoes were found. up the hill. we're
found his shirt and collar, and about
$50 yards west of that point was
found his coat. His trousers had not
been found up to the hour OF going to
press. nor had his watch, money, or
a .32-calibre automatic pistol he was
reported to have been carrying. It is
planned to have-a number OF automo-
biles out In the morning, with men,
In an effort to find the trousers and
also his hat Working on the suicide
theory 1t is thought IL the hat can be
found the pistol may also be found.
All Of the garments so far found are
covered with blood. except the under
wear. which has only a slight amount
Of blood around the collar.
Rev. Hoering came here last
February from San Luis Obispo, Cali
fornia. to become vicar of the local
Episcopal church. and also had
charge of churches in aBttle Noun
tain and Austin. In Lander county, as
we'll as in other small communities.
He was last seen here Tuesday even
ing before 8 o'clock. Some time after
that hour and before 10 o'clock the
same evening he left his home and
what occurred during the three nights
and two days before he was found is
not yet known. and possibly never
will be known. Below is printed all
that can be learned of the case to
date:
Rev. Hoering was found early yes
terday morning by Chief of Police
Lamb. after someone In an automobile
had reported seeing Hoering. Lamb
says he found Hoering about $50 feet
west of the cemetery, just OFF the

VICOR OF YOUTH In
new DISCOVERY
Science Produces a Vitalizer superior
to Famous Gland Treatment.
Magic Power of Bark From
Africa

Have you lost your youth, vigor
and pep? Does life seem dull end
work a grind? Don't worry Science
has discovered a new vitalizer super
ior even to the much discussed goat
gland" and monkey gland" treat
rlent.
The principal ingredient is an ex.
tract from the bark of an African
tree. 1t is said to be the most amaz-
ing invigorator ever discovered. Com
bined with it are other tonic and
vitalizing elements of proved merit
In most cases, the compound pro-
duces marked improvement in a day
or two, and in a short time the vital
ity is raised, the circulation improved
and the glow of health is felt in every
part.
The new vitalizer contains expen-
sive chemicals, but manufacturing in
enormous quantities has brought the
cost within reach of all. Further
more, the laboratories producing this
new vitalizer, which is called Re-Nd-
Tabs. are so confident of its power
that they offer it on the basis of mo
results, no pay
Any reader of this paper may test
the new discovery without risk. Send
no money, but just your name and
address, to the Re-Nu laboratories, 1853

ever color, and leave us in need Of
people fit and willing to do the
manual work of work-day world.
But | would like to see an education
that would fit every man, not only to
do his particular work as well as
possible, but to rise to higher plane,
il he deserved it. For that sort of ed
ucation l have no fears, whether it
be given to a black man or white
man. From that sort of education,
l believe black men, white men, the
whole nation, would draw immeasur-
able benefit.
1T is probable that as a nation we
have come to the end of the period
of very rapid increase in our popu-
lation. Restricted immigration will
reduce the increase, and it is for us
to look back upon our older popula-
ton to find people to do the simpler,
physically harder, manual tasks. This
will require some difficult adjust
ment In anticipation of such a con-
clifton the South may we'll recognize
his worth and that we are likely to
continue these drafts upon the col
ored population and if the South
wishes to keep it's fields producing
and its industries still expanding, il
will have to compete for the services
OF the colored man. If it will real
ize its need for him, and deal quite
fairly with him, the South will be able
to keep him in such numbers as your
activities make desirable.
1T is not possible, then. that in the
long era of readjustment upon which
we are entering for the nation to lay
aside old prejudices and old antagon-
isms and in the broad clear light of
nationalism enter upon a construc-
tive policy in dealing with these in.

RING OUT THE OLD,
RING IN THE NEW

The following has been handed in to
us for publication by one who has felt
the touch of irony; Our Associations
busted, that we for so long have trust
ed, and with which we are disguised,
now since it sunk; For a time it was
progressing, and all thought it was a
blessing, but when the need became
depressing, it went ker-flunk; don't
say who was to blame, but the men
that played the game, didn't stop the
drop that came, yet such is fate; For
the whole thing was condemned, when
the drop wasn't stemmed, and the
prospects weren't hemmed, with silver
plate; Then our rice sold for song,
couldn't carry expense along, so it
left amid throng, Of notes now due;
Yet tho the notes remain unpaid, all
the bankers weren't afraid, that the
last crop had been made, so they re-
new; Someone said the thing to do
is to start up something new, some
thing with a clearer view, and right
away; Then men with determination
started another association, and now
all boost in appreciation, A. r. G. A
