GRAIN CONTRACTS
LET IN PERSHING

Lovelock, July 14.-Several of the
large ranchers In the lower valley
have contracted the cutting, harvest
ing and threshing. of their crops of
wheat and barley to Watson Dayton
OF Yerington. The Big Five ranch
has given a contract for 1000 acres,
Chester Anker, Ray Clemmons, Philip
Anker, Andrew Jahn and several 9TH
ers, have let out their crops on con-
tract to Dayton who has a very fine
combined harvester.
The alfalfa crop Is still being
handled short handed and the crews
on the smaller rancher are going
from one ranch to the other. While
this prolongs the work of putting up
the crops the situation is being
handled fairly well and many young
high school boys are substituting for
hay hands, which helps greatly in re-
lieving the labor situation.

CHICKEN SEASON
OPENS AUGUST I

The hunting season for sage chick
ems does not open until Monday. Aug
ust LIST. The law governing the open
season for chicken shooting was
changed at the last session OF the
State Legislature and is not an act Of
the County Commissioners. Previous
iy the sportsmen had from July 18th
to September LIST in which to hunt, an
open season of six weeks. but the
present law shortens the season to
the month of August. This was done
because q large percentage of the
birds are very small on July 18th,
and two weeks more added to their
age will enable them to be OF fair size
when the hunters are allowed to kill
them. The young birds in this sec
tion are reported to be well advanced
in growth this season.
Hunting licenses have been in
C ssed from 81 to $3.50.

PROBER UNABLE TO FIND
SIGNS OF GOLD NINE
Report on Nevada Visit Stirs
Up Applause at Schenec-
tady Trial

Interesting testimony came thick
and fast Tuesday In the Schenectady
county court at the trial of Mrs. Sara
c. Seymour. charged with grand lar
ceny growing out OF the alleged sale
Of worthless gold mining stock Of a
mine I'm the Lynn mining district, Eu-
reka County. Nevada. according to a
report In recent issue of the Schen-
ectady. N. Y. Times.
Chief among the witnesses for the
prosecution was Charles w. Brown,
who was sent to Nevada by the dis
trict attorney to get information rel
ative to the alleged mime" He tes-
titled he found no dam. which, 1t is
alleged, the Seymours claimed was
being constructed on the property,
and that he found no mining opera
tiofls.
Motion by James A. Leary, the de-
fendant's counsel, for the dismissal Of
the indictment and the discharge Of
the defendant. was denied. Mr.. Leary
contended that whereas the indict-
ment charged first degree grand lar
ceny, testimony tended to show the
crime, II there were any. was second
degree grand larceny.
The last witness for the prosecu-
tion, Mr.. Brown. was applauded by q
woman spectator seated with the wit
nesses inside the rail. Mr.. Leary
asked the court to have the person
who applauded elected. When Judge
McMullen failed to heed the request,
Mr.. Leary asked that the person be
made to stand and admonished by
the court.
Judge McMullen took no action,
advising Mr.. Leary the court was d.
recting the proceedings.
Occasion of the applause was re-
mark made by the witness, who was
being cross-examined by Mr.. Leary.
When asked II he had seen certain
records in the ONCE of the county
clerk of Eureka County, Nevada, and
whether he had seen the document
signed and sealed, Mr.. Brown an
swered in the Affirmative, explaining
II was expecting this very thing"
Mr.. Brown was sent to Nevada by
the district attorney to get informa-
tion concerning the construction of a
dam on the mining property owned
by the United Gold, Inc, represented
by Mrs. Seymour and her husband.
Charles B. Seymour, who is also un-
der indictment for larceny.
The witness testified he found no
dam on the property and no mining
operation. He produced a search COW
ering the holdings of the company.
which was admitted as evidence. 1t
showed the company owned nine
claims. The witness testified there
was nothing in the nature of con-
struction on any of the claims.
Mr.. Brown described a creek about
a foot wide and two inches deep.
which he said he had explored for
three and one-kalf miles. Mr.. Leary
asked him IL 1t was not a creek which
widened out under ground. and was
known as a disappearing creek. The
witness replied he believed the creek
has disappeared by this time.
1t was brought out through Mrs.
w. T. Wees, wife of the Rev. William
T. Wees, Methodist Episcopal min
lister of Scotia, that Mrs. Seymour mas
instituted a civil action against Mrs.
Wees for false arrest. When this was
brought out by the district attorney.
Mr.. Leary asked that the court de-
clare a mistrial. The court denied
the motion.
