KUBELIK CHARMS
CAPACITY HOUSE
AT new NATIONAL
Return of Noted Artist
Marked by Program
of High Merit.

After an absence from America Of
nearly eight years Jan kubelik
played yesterday afternoon to a
crowded house at the New National
Theater.
During the war and until a few
months ago Kubelik. who is ma
tive of Czecho-Slovakia, has been
in Europe, at times playing to aid
in war benefits, but spending the
greater part of his time in compo-
sition. Yesterday his audience was
privileged to hear one OF these com
positions, Concerto. c major"
Surely his absence has been some
what compensated for by such a
valuable addition to the world $
somewhat meager library of violin
music.
This concerto is thoroughly mod
ern in composition and the en-
ttusIasm with which 1t was received
proved its worth.
Displays Rare Skill.
The SECOND number. 'Chaconne. "
by Bach, played without accompani-
ment. gave every opportunity to
display the skill and technique of
the artist. This called forth in
sistent applause which Kubelik ac-
knowledged repeatedly and to which
he finally responded with an encore.
Ave Maria" by Schubert.
His third number was "Introduc.

that no objection could be raised

HEIDTMAN HOME Is
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The pretty little home of c. J..
Heidtman, located In the southeast
section of the city, was totally de-
stroyed by fire at about $50 last
Saturday evening. The department
made a quick run, but the fire.
which had very evidently been
smoldering within the tightly closed
building for some time. had gained
such headway that it could not sue
eessfully combatted
The origin of the fire is a mystery
The family, following the evening
meal, had locked up the place and
were attending the eeyning perfor-
nance of the circus.
Nothing was saved, the family be-
ing left with only the clothing they
were wearing. Unfortunately the
insurance was only nominal, $500
on the house and like amount on
the furniture, which included Ii
brary valued at $500 and a piano at
$500. Mr.. Heidtman, who is en-
ployed as a druggist at the Morris
Loring Drug Co, had taken consid-
erable pride in his home and 1t was
complete In built-in features. his
handiwork during leisure hours. The
loss is a severe blow to the family
and they have the sympathy of many
Fallon friends, in their misfortune.

Syndicate We'll
Down 1000 Fl.
Unfounded Rumors OF OIL Strike
Persist Despite Denials-Condi-
tions Satisfactory

Just one darned rumor after an
other" sums up the situation in the
oil fields during the past week.
Practically all of these false reports
correlated around the Syndicate
company's holdings, that company
holding the spotlight for the present
on account OF the phenomenal prog
ress that has been made. The we'll
is now down better than 1000 feet
and still going strong.
The sludge and debris incident to
the boring OF twelve-inch hole in
a fat country necessitated the build
ing of retaining dam to prevent
its spread and the destruction of the
surrounding alfalfa held. This led
some visitor to come to the mistak-
en- conclusion that the management
we're expecting gusAeI~ at any mo-
ment and were iofoAaldsaly provid
ing reservoir ior the liquid gold.
While the general Indications con-
tinue to be satisfactory, there is no
occasion for the rumors that have
gained circulation. The drill at
present is in brown shale having
passed through the sandstone strata
bearing shells. The usual rainbow
coloring can be seen on the sludge
as it is forced from the well by the
pumps.
The Pioneer is down 1860 feet
with no particular change to report.
Driller Ike Sharp, VINO is admitted
ly one of the most experienced In
the business and known and respect
ed in many oil fields, Is enthusiastic
over the prospects at the Pioneer
and has an abiding faith that oil
in commercial quantities lies under
the Fallon district.
A couple of weeks ago an article
appeared in the San Francisco
Chronicle, accompanied by a picture
of Rene A. Huant, owner and oper-
ator of the Mansfield Water and Oil
Finder, which 1t was stated would
be used in an endeavor to deter
mine whether oil existed in the Fal-
Ion field. Mr.. Huant dropped into
Fallon about ten days ago and quiet
ly set about a still hunt, acquaint-
ing no one with his business until
he had made his Investigations. On
Monday he stated to the Standard
that he had satisfied himself that oil
in commercial quantities existed
mere and that he would at once pro-
eeed to drill at a point where he was
satlsned the fluid would be found at
comparatively shallow depth. In
this venture he would ask for no
assistance, but would finance his
own company. He departed for
neno and California points, stating
tnat he would be back very shortly
or as soon as he could secure the
accessory materials.

Beloved Woman
Passed Away
Mrs. G. Nj. Gardner Died In Reno
Last Monday Following
an Operation

This community was inexpressibly
shocked last Monday morning when
word was received by telephone that
Mrs. G. NJ. Gardner had passed
away, following an operation at a
Reno hospital.
1t has been generally known
among her host of Fallon friends
that she had been in ill health for
some time, but none were prepared
for the announcement of her death.
She had been suffering from ulcera-
tions of the stomach and an opera
tion was decided upon and special
list from San Francisco was called
in. She did not regain conscious
ness and died while still under the
anaesthetic.
Mrs. Gardner was a native of
Elko, Nevada, and was born in the
year 1875. Her girlhood was spent
in Elko county, where she gradual
ed and taught school at fifteen years
of age. Later she graduated from
the San Jose Normal school and re-
turning to Elko taught in the high
school for several years. She was
the first woman to receive a life di-
ploma from the State Board of Edu-
cation.
In 1900 she was married to DIR.
G. M. Gardner and resided in Elko
until 1908. when they moved to Fal-
Ion, remaining here until 1918,
when DR.. Gardner became associated
with DR.. Raymond st. Clair and re-
moved to Reno. In 1918 Mrs.
Gardner was elected a member of
the High School Board by an over
whelming majority Notwithstanding
it was generally kown that she was
about to remove to Reno to reside
permanently, so great was her pop
ularity. To the last she retained
her interest in educational matters
and child welfare work. Her per-
sonal charm soon gained her an as
sured position in the social circle in
which she moved in Reno and at the
time of her death she was secretary
of the Century Club of that city.
Mrs. Gardner is survived by her
husband, DR.. G. NJ. Gardner and a
daughter, Miss Carr; two brothers.
William and Paul Adams; a cousin,
Mrs. Johnston Price and two uncles,
William and Thomas Hunter of
Elko.
During her long residence in Fal-
lon Mrs Gardner had endeared her
self to practically everyone with
whom she came In contact, which
comprised almost the entire COM
munity. She was possessed of re-
markably sweet and womanly dispo-
sition that made her a most charm
ing hostess in the many social af-
fairs for which her home was not
able. A splendid woman has passed
away, and her place Will be hard to
fill in the community which she
graced. while in her home there will
be void that can never be bridged.
The world is better from the fact
that a woman of her high ideals has
lived in it. To her sorrowing rela-
tiyes the heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community will go forth with
out stint.
The funeral will take place at
Reno tomorrow, Thursday after
noon and a number of Fallon people
have announced their intention OF
being present.

WORLD FAMOUS BULL
HAS BROTHER HERE

The dispatches recently carried
me announcement that pure bred
holstein bull recently sold for $780,
600 had died in Illinois. The item
has local significance from the fact
that very near relative of the prize
animal is a member of the II. ].
Long herd on Longheath farm near
Fallon.
The distinguished bovine was
named Sir Pietertje Ormsby Mer-
cedes 37th and is three-quarter
brother to King Ormsby Canary Jo-
hanna, herd sire of Longheath
Farm, both animals being sired by
Sir Pietertje Ormsby Mercedes, the
greatest sire of combined producing
and showing individuality in Hol-
stein history The dams of the two
bulls are half-sisters, one former
worlds record cow and the other
holding the present worlds record,
being the only COW to make four
yearly records each over 1000 lbs.
of butter.
This family of brothers is more
widely advertised than any other
family group of Holsteins by reason
of the consistent production of its
members, and it is a source of graft
fication that this community pos
sesses at least one representative of
the aristocratic group.

There was quite lively time at

announced that Mr.. Garth Patter-
son, a new student from Oakland
was going TO lose his mustache.
Grath was game and put up good
fight for while but was soon over
powered. The work was done with
a rather dull safety razor and a
little cold water. Garth said the
razor pulled quite a bit, but upon
being released said that there were
no hard feelings.

where any important action desired
by the board was secured unless it
met with the approval of the Recla-
nation Service. A fulfllment of
the oft repeated promise to turn
over the operation and maintenance
to the district was requested and
was refused. A reduction in the
o. and M. budget to 100000 for the
current year was recommended. 1t
was raised to 100000. Improve
ment of the community pasture was
recommended and requested. Moth
ing was done. The Borah bill for
the postponement of the 1921 con-
struction charges was endorsed by
the board. We are advised that the
Washington Office opposes 1t. Even
the magnum opus OF the board, the
drainage contract, appears to be en-
tirely superfiuous. The recent pub
lie notice, issued by the Secretary to
cover the contingency of an adverse
judicial decision, could have covered
just as well and with just as much
legality, the whole matter embraced
in the contract. without all the fuss
and camoufiage of consulting and
contracting with the district.
We will get nothing that the Rec
lamation Service would not give us

fighting Tor our rights instead of
consulting and comforting and rec
ommending and requesting. / would

assume that We are beaten before

pose appropriations for Reclama-
