DELEGATE RETURNS
FROM Bile. MEETS

L. W. Greene returned to his home
in this city last night from Cleveland.
Ohio, where he went six weeks ago a.
delegate from this Western Pacific
division to attend the national con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers. In attendance
were 407 delegates, said Mr.. Greene
today, representing divisions all over
the United States and Canada. Mr..
Greene was the only delegate from
this city. and the next nearest towns
represented were Portola, by Ed Pet
tibone. and Salt Lake City, by Ed
Waltermeyer.
Greene reports a wonderful time.
the delegates having visited all the
surrounding points of interest, includ-
ing Niagara Falls. Buffalo, Copper
county. Michigan, and most of the
interesting places in and near Cleve-
land itself. While en- route home.
Greene visited his old home in Mar
quette. Michigan.
Business conditions in Cleveland
are poor. Greene said, practically
$4,000 men being out of work, and
business on the Great Lakes is at
standstill.
He declares the stormy weather. en-
countered here upon his return is a
strong contrast to the hot weather
endured by him throughout the east
ern states, especially in Kansas.

HOBO KILLED WHEN
DEATH ROPE BREAKS

A telegram was received here last
night by local officers stating that a
hobo had been picked up at the east
switch in Palisade and that he had
one leg cut off just below the knee.
At the time he was found he also had
a rope around his neck and was un-
able to speak. 1t was evident that he
had been thrown off the extra West
ern Pacific train at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. The message was sent in
by the bridge man, who requested that
lookout be kept here for suspicious
characters who might have committed
the crime. Although eight tramps had
been rounded up last night, no clue
could be found, and it is believed that
the man may have been demented and
had tried to commit suicide
Word was received here late this
afternoon that the injured man had
just died in an Elko hospital. Special
Agent Stith of the Western Pacific i'm
mediately left for that place, accom-
panied by man who reported at the
Jail here that he had recently talked
to the dead man, whose name he gave
as Gene Weeks. The man also said
that Weeks had confided to him the
fact that he was subject to epileptio
fits and that he had planned to COM
NIT suicide upon several occasions.
This statement further carries out the
belief that the rope was placed around
his neck in an attempt to hang him
self between cars, and that the rope
had broken and allowed him to fall
beneath the wheels.

CHAUTAUQUA OVER;
RETURN NEXT YEAR

In spite of the heavy storm last
night and today. the Chautauqua
equipment has been taken down and
packed, and the director, Mrs. Bryce
Smith, states that all of the staff left
on the three o'clock train. and that is
saying something, as the tent was
literally saturated with water and the
mud was an unenviable place in which
to work. Trucks had difficulty in
pulling the heavy loads through the
sticky, but good management and
good workmanship accomplished the
feat.
Mrs. Bryce Smith Is profuse in her
thanks to local people for assistance
and requested detailed publication of
such thanks, which is impossible for
various reasons.
From here Mrs. Smith goes to Dill
lon, Montana. where she will be SINH
larly engaged. Miss Georgia Latta,
junior director, and the cashier will
accompany the equipment to Toole,
Utah. and others will go to Blackfoot,
Idaho
That the Chautauqua will return
here next spring is assured, as it is
stated that fifty-nine guarantors have
signed up, and only fifty we're re-
quired. The deficit this season was
s5 for each guarantor, and it is an
ticipated by members of the commit
tee that next season there will be no
deficit at all. Although Chautauqua
was well attended throughout the
week, it is said many failed to pur-
chase their tickets until after the pro-
gram was started, thus depriving the
guarantors of the credit for selling
them and compelling them to make up
the difference.

SNOWSTORM FREAK
OF WEATHER TODAY

Freak weather in Winnemucca has
been a topic of conversation today
Starting early last night with a heavy
downpour of rain, the storm this
morning turned to snow, and for sew
eral hours the fakes fell as hard as
at any time last winter. At first the
snow melted as soon as II hit the
ground, but later trees and house tops
were whitened with an inch or so.
This afternoon the sun has come out
and all signs of the storm, except
mud. have disappeared.
Overcoats and fires were in order
today. in contrast with sweltering
heat and shirt sleeves during severa
days passed. No bad effects to gar
dens or crops are expected unless it
should turn TO freezing weather. which
is considered unlikely, especially in
view of the weather forecaster's
promise of fair and warmer. On the
other hand, 1t is anticipated that al,
excessive moisture will serve to in
crease forage In the hills, which
makes the stock man happy.
The snow storm of this morning re
called to memory of old timers a
similar summertime snowstorm dur
ing the year 1902, when a celebration
was being held in Golconda the
Fourth of July. Not only did it then
snow hard at Golconda all day long
but also showed in this city July 3
and in other portions of the state
during the days previous and follow
ing, the hills north of Kennedy that

snow. said to have been two feet, OF
the Fourth of July.
Winnemucca has had the wides'
daily range of temperature reported
by government stations, the range be
ing at times as high as sixty degrees
range meaning the difference between
highest and lowest recorded degrees
of temperature. At some times the
daily range of temperature here has
been sixty degrees. while other cities
report ranges of from twenty to thirty
degrees.
