| a special assistant to the chairman.
The Bethlehem concern, Mr.. GilleD
said, did not object TO the audit, but
to the employment of the firm of
Perley Morris 4 Co. in connection
with the same. The auditing firms
employees, he added, had been barred
from the corporations yards after the
audit was ordered. At conference to
bring about an adjustment of the diff

ALFALFA WEEVIL CONTROL.

That the alfalfa wcevil, first report
ed last year in Washoe County IS

the report brought back by County
\ecut Thomas Buckman from Reno
this week. Mr. Buchanan went over
the infested area with Noble Waite
who is making survey OF Washot
County for the State quarantine oiii'

not sufficient to injure the hay crop

thirty miles a year with the wind ard

Italy to study their enemies and he
brought back a parasite which preys
on the weevil These thrive fairly well
and kill about 90 per cent. OF the WeeV-

enough to do a lot OF damage
The state quarantine office plans tc
send a man to Salt Lake III the heai
future to bring back some OF these
parasites to work on the infested area
in Washoe County. BY introducing
the natural enemies OF the weevil ahe
by spraying the spread OF the INFESTED

Children Near TO Death
From Poisonous Liquor

Last Monday evening about 7
o'clock, Special officer O'Niel and
Deputy Sheriff Ambrose raided a
jackass whiskey joint at Mason and
took possession of a very complete,
though filthy, distillery and about $50
gallons of corn mash, quantity OF
liquor in pocess Of manufacture as
well as some Of the finished whiskey.
They also took possession OF l.. Meni-
SIM and Bill Butulia, the alleged own
ers of the outfit
Yesterday afternoon the two de-
PENDANTS were arraigned before y. S.
Commissioner Judson G. r. Smith,
chaged with running the still i'll viola
ton OF law ]. r. Carroll of Mason,
the complaining witness, testified that
he had been in Yerington Monday to
participate in the memorial exercises,
and that when he returned to Mason
about S O'Clock he found four or five
children, including his own little boy
in a stupehed condition, some of them
almost UNCONSCIOUS. investigator
disclosed the fact that the children,
while searching for bird nests, enter
ed the window of a house i'll Mason,
found the poisonous liquor and drank
enough to render them almost un-
conscious. Mr.. Carroll at once noti-
fed officers who raided the place, with
the results above stated.
Minnie Robinson. of Mason, testi-
fed that she is the owner OF the prem
ises where the stuff was found and
that some time ago she rented the
house to Menisini and Butulia, who
said they intended to 'Fbatch'' there.
Charles DeBoer testified THAT he
had seen the two defendants carrying
demijohns into the house at Mason.
The defendants denied positively that
they were ever in the house and that
thev knew nothing about still being
in operation there
After reviewing the testimony, Com
missioner Smith said that while the
usual bail in such cases is $500, he was
obliged to consider the pitiable CON
dition OF the little children, and their
narrow escape from shocking death
and he therefore held the defendants
to appear before the United States
court in Carson City, with bail fixed
in the sum OF $1,000 in each case and
remanded them to the custody OF the
Sheriff.
