 The case of Attorney General Daugherty is not like that of Mellon. The attorney general has been the grand master of patronage since March last, and the demands made upon him have been tremendous. As pirants for every kind of a federal job-from watchman to ambassador have had to "see Daugherty,' and as all have not been taken care of it has led to some hard feelings in many quarters.
 Personal reasons also are said to figure largely in the attorney gener- al's reported desire to retire from his post His own health is none too good. and Mrs. Daugherty is an invalid, necessitating his spending much time travelling back and forth between Washington and Ohio.
 No confirmation of the rumors re- garding either Mellon or Daugherty is Obtainable. but the gossiping per sists around the capitol.
 Should Daugherty leave the cabinet, the belief prevails that President Harding would name as his successor either former Senator George Suth erland of Utah. or James NJ. Beck of New York. at present solicitor general in the department

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. The first seven months of the Harding Ad- ministration having gone by without the occurrence of anything startling the tea table and cloak room gos- sins of the national capital are pre- dieting some radical changes Tn the make up of official Washington TOT the next five.
 If is the gossip of Washington that before the new administration celebrates it's first anniversary there will be at least two, mabye three and possibly more. cabinet changes sThe rumors have recently become so circumstantial that they have found their way into some metropolitan naners and have resulted in the eA- nected denials The reports, now ever persist.
 The names chiefly concerned in these rumored changes are secretary of the treasury Andrew w. Mellon and Attorney General Harry NJ Daugherty.
 According to the stories that cir culate among the tea tables Of Wash ington. Secretary Mellon has tired of public life after his brief first taste of it. and is desirous of getting back to the placid serenity of direct ing score of big corporations and banks with which he is connected.
 This is Secretary Mellon's first taste of public life and political con tact and it is admitted by his few intimates that he had found it little of his liking Being naturally Of a shy and retiring disposition. the sec retary of the treasury is said to have formed a pronounced dislike to the rough give and take of Washington political life. and it would not sur prise his intimates should he em' brace the opportunity to get back in to private life.

MELLON DlSHEARTENED

Secretary Mellon has found rough sledding in Washington with the tax programme. and this is said to have increased his dislike for his job. One of his first official acts was the pre- sentation to congress of an estimate of how much money it would take to run the Federal government for the new fiscal year. based on the amount of expenditures which he saw would be necessary in the existing state of things.
 Congress. with an eye to reelection next year and realizing the potency of an economy argument with the average voter, slashed his estimates unmercifuIly. President Harding was called in as mediator in the re- sultant dispute and. realizing the partys need. the chief executive sup ported the congressional s,de. with the result that Mellon's figures were discarded.
 Many of the sccrctarys tax recon mendations suffered the same fate at the hands of house republicans in charge of framing the new revenue bill The Republicans of the senate finance committee likewise disregard ed and cast aside a number of his recommendations
 The net result of these expert encos is said to have increased the secretarys dislike for a post which he was reluctant to accept in the first place.

GOVERNOR BOYLE FENCES

editor of the Los Angeles Herald,
declaring that Nevada's position on
the Colorado river development
projects would not be given at the
League of the Southwest meeting
at Riverside, California, but would
be outlined at Secretary of the In
terror A. B. Falls meeting in San

from the following telegram to the
Nevada chief executive by Arnold
Kruckman, secretary of the League
of the Southwest:
'Have yours, notifying state en-

W|NNEMUCCA HIGH
HAS A CLEAN SLATE
Battle Mountain II. S. Boys We're
Defeated in q Very Fast, Clean
Game on Local Court
Last Evening

Overcoming long basket throwing
of the Battle Mountain team, and
urged on by the cheering of large
crowd in attendance, the Winnie
mucca high school boys emerged
victorious in fast game of basket
ball played in the high school audi
torium last night, the final score
being Winnemucca, 80; Battle
Mountain 26.
Winnemucca started the game
with the entire second team on the
floor. Battle Mountain was the
first team to score, making a field
goal few minutes after the whistle
blew. The local boys came right
back and proceeded to make three
baskets in quick succession.
When ten minutes of the first
half was over Winnemucca' first
team took the floor. The score at
this time was to in the home
boys favor. The first team boys
seemed to have trouble in getting
started and did not play the same
game as they did against Lovelock.
The score at the end of the first
half was Ia to 8, with Winnemucca
in the lead.
At the start of the second half
the Battle Mountain boys made
three field goals so fast that i;
looked as if they had been reserv-
ing their strength for the end OF
the game. The local boys soon
found their stride, however, and
came back strong, showing some
wonderful team work and very fast
passing.
Lauritzen and Longero, forwards
for Battle Mountain, made some
wonderful long shots from the cen
ter of the floor which brought them
well deserved applause from the
spectators. The Battle Mountain
boys played a very clean game all
the way through and although they
were only in the lead once they
never stopped fighting until the
timekeeper's whistle blew at the end
of the last half.
Winnemueca's boys go to Battle
Mountain next Friday, December 8,
for a return game, which will also
be their first game away from home
this year. The Battle Mountain
boys will be on their own floor,
which will make a difference in
their playing, and the score will
very likely be much closer.
The first and second teams of
girls played preliminary game
last night, resulting in victory for
the first team.

HUSBAND, TAKES OWN LIFE

E. L. Holt is in the hospital at
Lovelock with bullet wound
through the upper part of his lung
and Mrs. E. L. Holt is at their
home, dead, with two bullet holes
through her neck. The shots are
supposed to have been fired by Mrs.
Holt after an argument with her
husband over marital troubles, which
had extended over a period of
years.
The facts as brought out at the
inquest were that Mr.. Holt returned
home about noon and began to pre-
pare dinner for himself, and that his
wife came in and after few words
shot him with .32 calibre Savage
automatic. Thinking him fatally
wounded, she turned the gun on
herself and fred two shots through
her neck, dying almost instantly.
Coroner Mcclure stated that Mr..
Holt had good chance for recov-
cry, as the shot missed the vital
portion of the lung, going through
the upper portion and coming out
the back below, the houlder.-Reno
Journal.
Holt is well known by several
Winnemucca residents, he having
been a barber in Lovelock for the
past twelve years.

Worried to the point of distrac-
ton, Mrs. Lucia Bertha Cohn, well
known Winnemucca woman, walked
into Ruckteschler's grocery store at
about one o'clock yesterday after
noon and after conversing for a
short time with those within the
store and paying a small account
she turned a .32-calibre Marlin re-
volver against her left breast and
fired a shot that inflicted a wound
from which she died almost imme-
diately afterward. The single ex-
clamation, II am shot," were the
only words uttered and she sank to
the floor pressing her hands over
the fateful wound.
DIR. A. G. Swezy and DR.. G. F.
Pope arrived within a short time
following the shooting, DR.. Swezy
preceding his fellow physician. He
found Mrs. Cohn unconscious and
breathing her last.
Shortly thereafter the remains
were removed to the Carlson under
taking parlors. An inquest was
held at 1890 o'clock this morning.
Judge Richie, justice Of the peace
and ex-officio coroner, empaneled a
jury and the verdict returned after

unfortunate affair was that the de-
ceased came to her dath from a
self-infiicted gunshot wound while

into the grocery store, and Erman

were in charge of the store, and
F. C. Robins, father of the deceased.
The testimony of the eye wit
nesses conformed in all substantial
facts. DIR. Swezy testified that he
had considered the woman peculiar
in some regards during late months,
but that he did not think that she
was insane. The aged father tes-
titled in regard 10 Mrs. Cohn's age

turning the verdict were: Duane
