was told to throw up his hands, he
reached for a double-barreled shot
gun when Calcote and Falvey opened
fire. Calcote had a shot gun and
Falvey pistol. The latter failed to
hit the mark. but Calcote landed.

Big Amusement Con-

An effort that would have been
greeted with much approval by the a.
musement loving people of this Sec
tion failed Thursday on account Of
final necessary. agreements not being
able to be arrived at by the parties
most interested. Through the ef-
forts of thirty men OF the city rails
ing fund of $500 it was contem-
plated to stage series of three base
ball games here next week with the
strong Patterson. La, "Grays." AS
an added attraction it was also ex-
pected to have the famous Marguer-
lite Clark, movie actress. present on
each occasion Her real name is now
Mrs. Harry Williams, her husband
being manager of the Patterson ball
team. 1t was also proposed in. case
the deal had been consummated, that
the Brookhayen ball team would have
an unbeatable lineup all star

Il is regretted that satisfactory ar
rangements could not be carried out
as the program contemplated would
have insured monster crowds and en-
tertainment here.

FIRE DESTROYS COL
ORED PICTURE SHOW
Burrell w. Jackson Loses New
Building and Fittings
Cause Unknown.

The Daisy Theatre, the only col
ored moving picture show in the
city, was burned to the ground
Thursday morning at three o'clock.
The property was owned and run by
Burrell Jackson, a negro employe of
the local postoffice, and was a brand
new building, built for the purpose
only three months ago and located in
the colored section just south of the
county court house. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000 with 100000
insurance.
No cause can be ascertained as to
the origin of the blaze, other than
that colored residents nearby were a.
reused by the fire which from all
appearances caught in the rear of the
building on the inside.
Some are of the opinion that the
fire was of an incendiary origin,
these statements no doubt being
caused by the fact the Jackson, the
owner and operator of the property,
became extremely unpopular with
certain members of his race some
time ago on account of his activities
in various roles among them. The
evidence as far as known, does not
bear out any such theory. ~
When-the alarm was given the fire
department made prompt response,
but due to the fact that the building
was located block from any fire
hydrant it was impossible to more
than keep the flames down and only
the front shell of the building which
could accommodate crowd of 400
now remains. Had it not been for a
heavy afternoon rain, there is hard
~ any doubt but that a number Of
nearby dwellings would also have
burned.
The theatre had recently been OPP
Grated three or four nights a week
and had been doing good business.
Besides the accustomed furnishings

as well as fine new projecting ma
chine and fittings was consumed. In
fact, nothing was saved at all from
the doomed building. such headway
had been made by the flames before
the FIRE alarm was made.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
TO LOCAL FARMERS

Mason valley farmers have been busy
digging the potato crop during the past
month and will finish digging by the
middle OF November. The potato
crop is proving rather light this year
owing to killing frosts in june and
July which combined with early frosts
in September cut the growing season
short. However, although the crop is
light the price is good. buyers offer
ing as high as $45 per ton for num-
Der one potatoes.
Last wear 23o cars of potatoes were
shipped from points on the Copper
Belt X. r. SO far this season forty
or fiitv cars have been shipped and al
though the crop is light an increase in
shipment over last year is anticipated.
The hay production this year has
been better than last throughout Lyon
county. The Fcrnley district cut three
good crops, the average yield for Fern
lev having been estimated at close to )
tons per acre. Many farmers i'll Ma

third crop. Warm weather in Septem-
Der and October produced good past
urc on alfalfa lands through, out the
county.
Sveral hundred tons OF alfalfa hay
has been sold at prices ranging from
$3.50 to $1,000 per ton bacd t. o. b..
Fernley. Cost OF baling has dropped

county, those already milking COWS
