MINSTREL COMING
HERE ON THURSDAY

Probably certain people have for
gotten that they are minstrel fans be-
cause 1t has been so long since they
had an opportunity to see a really
first-class minstrel aggregation
however, the mistrel microbe will get
them when Rusco & Hockwald's Fa-
nous Georgia Minstrels make their
flash dress parade over our main
streets announcing their appearance
at the Nixon, Thursday, April Z.
Questionable Amusement" at one
time was a common theme for de-
bate, but the subject was never asso-
ciated with a minstrel for never since
the history of the human race started
has the form of minstrel entertain
ment been questioned The ball game,
the circus and the minstrel are three
forms of innocent amusement which
are patronized by tens of thousands
of people who hold aloof from other
attractions.
Creating of laughter, the rendering
of tuneful music. charming songs,
eomical stunts and curious novel;
ties, constitute the purpose of the
minstrel. For this reason, time and
again in the professional papers the
performers and others engaged in the
legitimate amusement business have
been assured by the government that
amusements of this character are not
considered non-essential. No wonder,
in these strenuous times, the demand
for the minstrels is increasing until
it is impossible for the management
of first class company like the Fa-
nous Georgia Minstrels to fill one
half of the dates offered them. Peo-
pie want to be entertained to laugh
and thus their nervous systems are
better tuned to the times.
With the Famous Georgia Minstrels
are associated some forty people, all
consisting of the very cream of the
negro minstrel profession, and after
all the negro is the natural musician
and minstrel of the human race, and
during the engagement here will
spring some more of their pleasing
surprises.

COUNCIL REFUSES
LICENSES To TWO

Three soft" drink men whose IL
censes have been revoked for alleged
selling of hard" liquor again made
application for licenses at the city
council meeting last night, two of
whom were fatty refused and the
case of the third laid over. Other
matters taken up by the council in
cluded the proposed purchase of
new fire truck chassis, which now ap-
pears probable. Fireworks which
were expected to develop because of
an attempted bribery of Mayor Bran
don did not materialize, he apparent
ly deeming it advisable to let the
matter rest for time.
Arthur English, proprietor of the
Golden, and Juan Arranguena, for
merly proprietor of the Palace bar,
or more COMMONLY known as tn,

streets. applied for licenses to oper-
ate soft drink parlors, while John
Muguira, proprietor of the Riverside,
wanted license to sell cigars and
candy and to run poker game. the

AS will be remembered, an ordei
was made by the mayor and council

complaint had been filed by Chief oil
Police K. G.. Lamb, who declared that
booze was being sold at their place.

gether license without bond, but il
vas decided the former order should

1t was while considering the case
of English that Councilman Sites
said he certainly would like to see
oil these men in business but Coun-
cilmen Akin and Hoskins insisted
that the previous order stand
Arranguena, whose license was re-
voked the first of the year as a result
of his alleged selling of moonshine

would not furnish bond and his ap-
plication was also rejected During
discussion of Arranguena's applica-
tion Councilman Sites said he
thought IL would be all right to grant
him license. with the understanding
1t would be revoked II laws were vio-
lated. Akin said Arranguena had
violated the law once and there is
reason to believe he would again.
Mayor Brandon said he had been told
Arranguena owned the Golden sn9
paid English by the day to run il.
Hoskins said the only way he would
favor granting Arranguena a license
would be for him to put up bonds.
John Muguira OF the Riverside, the
third whose license was revoked,
brought up new phase of the ques-
tion when through his interpreter,
one Ballcroft. he applied for license
to sell only cigars and candy. and
license to run one poker game. There

quest in the councils previous order,

SHEEP SURVIVED
COLD SNAP WELL

Sheep shearing at the Winnemucca
corrals has been discontinued for a
few days on account of extreme cold
weather which began Sunday with
slight snow fall and high wind. The
storm continued yesterday and was
general.
So far as has been learned no losses
have been sustained by owners who
have sheared already. The report
was circulated that Pete Egosque had
lost large number of sheep, but
upon search being made they were
found to be alright, having only
strayed away from the hearder. They
had been driven about ten miles out
on the range. The herder himself hav-
Ing been caught out in the storm
Monday night and was able to keep
from freezing only through constant
ly replenishing a fire built of sage
brush and such materials as could be
gathered on the range.
>~s>~@~~>-
Brandon's comment was that "you
can't tell what might be in the
water" Akin thought the application
was "the same horse, but with a diff
ferent color" HosiSins aRreed,
Sites thought the proposition was
different"
The city fire truck was discussed
again at great length, it being de-
cided that Mayor Brandon should
write to different places to secure
data on a new engine to be placed in
the old chasis. NJ. r. Felts, who
hauls freight for Miller & Lux, arose
to the occasion and offered the coun-
ell $500 for the present fire truck
chassis, providing he might secure tht
same within the new few weeks.
Disposal of the old chassis being
one of the big items in the purchase
of new truck, the matter was i'm.

mediate correspondence with one
Williams, representative of the White
truck agency at Reno, who was here
about two weeks ago trying to cell
White to the city. Sites was alsc
instructed to find out what payments
would be required and how soon one
'ould be placed in this city. The new
truck chassis will cost S4650. but is
guaranteed to perform the work re-
quired in a manner satisfactory to
the fire department.
This turn of affairs greatly pleased
yolunteer firemen who were present
and Frank Krenkel. who acted as
spokesman. promised the mayor and
council that If this new truck is pur-
chased they would not ask for any
more equipment for some time The
fire department is now well equipped
with the single exception that the
truck has insufficient power, but the
purchase Of this equipment has been
a constant worry to the council, the
matter of finances making rapid pur-
chase difficult.
Another night watchman is to be
employed during the sheep-shearing
season and while so many men "out
