COUNTY TAX. RATE
WILL Be SO CENTS

The special school tax rates, upon
which County Commissioners Peter
son and Bradshaw were working
yesterday, assisted by Deputy School
Superintendent Chauncey Smith of
F'allon, were practically completed,
but will not be approved until the
next meeting on April on account
of the absence of Commissioner Bell.
who is now in Salt Lake City.
Although the two commissioners
finished their portion of this work
last night, Smith worked upon the
rates until noon today. going over
the budgets of the various school
districts of the county.
The county tax rate for 1921, which
was at first placed at $09875. will
probably be changed to ninety-nine
cents on each $1o0 valuation, follow
ing suggestion by commissioner
Peterson to the effect that a small in
crease of quarter of a cent would
make much easier figuring. So the
ninety-nine cents figure will probably
be established at the next regular
meeting. The state rate is now sixty
cents and Winnemuccd city tax is
ninety-eight cents, both of which are
easy to figure.
In figuring the school tax rates,
which are different for the various
districts and added to the above
rates, every effort was made by the
commissioners and Mr.. Smith to re-
duce the rates as much as possible,
and yet leave a surplus for the differ
ent districts.
From Paradise, Steve Ferrero and
Robert Hanson, members of the
school board of that place, were
present at the meeting yesterday,
and Golconda was represented by
George Balm.
Deputy Smith left for Fallon this
afternoon.

SHEEP SHEARERS ON
STRIKE ONCE MORE

The trouble which has been brew
ing for several days in the sheep
shearing corral across the Western
Pacific track, eliminated in a general
strike of all employees this morning,
and as result many idle Indians
are to be seen standing on street
corners today.
Sheriff Brady and Deputy Pinson
have been called to the corral several
times during the last few days to
settle disputes, but no serious trouble
has developed.
The cause of the disturbance lies
in lower prices than the Indians and
Mexicans think they should accept.
They have been offered eleven cents
per head and they are contending for
fifteen cnts. this being the amount
which they claim is being paid in
other sections. They have secured
kilograms from other points to con-
firm their contentious.
There were eighteen men working.
but today the camp is practically de-
serted.
No great alarm is felt over this de-
lay. the sheep men say, as shearing
was begun early this year and some
cold weather is expected yet. in which
case the fewer sheep sheared the
smaller the loss to be expected.

denied stoutly no liquor was being
sold on his premises. He said six
or eight Hindus had been drunk there
last Sunday and several sheep shear
ers had been drunk last week, bu
they only rented rooms from his and
he had thrown them out. Mayor
Brandon asked him if booze wasn't
being drunk in the hotel cellar and
Esparzo said he knew men drank
there, and that he knew bottles were
thrown out of the windows and left
around the hotel, but he did not sell
the stuff. Mayor Brandon warned
him to be careful in future. 1t is
generally understood the case against
the hotel is not so strong as in the
other two instances.
John Muguira of the Riverside baI
said he only stayed in the place dur
ing the daytime and was ignorant OF
what went on there at night. Dur
ing his talk Mayor Brandon asked
him some questions and among them
was If he knew a certain young man
of a prominent family residing In
northern Humboldt county, and the
Mayor mentioned his name, had been
selling moonshine at the bar. Mu-
guira said he did not.
Then Chief Lamb was called and
he said he had seen men go into Eng
lish's place sober and come out
drunk, and that this occurred every
day. Asked by Mayor Brandon as to
who else was Connected with the bar,
Lamb answer that Shade" Johnson
and Fat" Lowell tended bar for Eng
lish.
At the Riverside bar, Lamb said,
he had seen men sober while playing
cards and later saw them drunk. He
said positively that whiskey has been
sold in both places.
Mayor Brandon believed the proper
procedure should be followed, OF
filing complaints and giving the ac-
cused men the required two days
notice. This was decided upon and

SOFT DRINK MEN
MAY LOSE LICENSES

The fact that X. G. Lamb, Winnie
muccas new chief of police, is not
asleep on his job was proven last
night at the city council meeting
when he brought out the fact that
practically every day he sees men
going into various soft drink parlors
in town. sober. and coming out drunk.
AS result of his discovery proprie-
tors of three of the places were told
to be present at the meeting last
night. These three places wherein it
was alleged moonshine had been sold
are the Golden, run by Arthur Eng
lish and located in Bridge street be-
tween Second and Third; the River
side bar, operated by two Basques,
located in Second street between
Bridge and Baud; and the Winnie
mucca Hotel, also operated by two
Basques, and located at Bridge and
First streets. AS near as the names
could be ascertained, a man by the
name of Esparzo appeared as one of
the leases of the Winnemucca hotel,
and John Muguira appeared as one of
the owners of the Riverside bar
English did not appear.
The matter was opened by Mayor
Brandon when he read from section
eight of the license ordinance of the
city, wherein 1t is set forth that upon
complaint of any person. In writing
and signed. charging violation of law
on the part of any person licensed in
this city. the chief of police shall in
vestigate and present report to the
council. Two days notice is then
given to the accused to appear before
the council with any defense they
may have and If they do not appear
1t is construed as waiver of defense.
Mayor Brandon stated he had been
informed Indians had gone out of the
Winnemucca hotel with whiskey and
had been seen drunk thereabouts, and
that at the place of Arthur English
men had been seen to enter sober and
leave intoxicated. English, the Mayor
said was formerly an employe of the
Milk Shake or Palace bar. at Fourth
and Bridge street. which was closed
when the city council refused to re-.
new license. At the first of the year
English was granted license to open
up a soft drink place upon his prom
Use that only soft drinks should be
sold there. The same promise was |
exacted from Mcguire after the Riv-
erside had been likewise closed. He |
pointed out that If liquor was being |
sold these men were not only break
ing the law but their promises as well
and should be required to pay the
penalty.
Two solutions were discussed, the |
revoking of licenses and the furnish |
ing OF bonds by those asking license,
the Mayor suggesting that the bonds
be so worded as to provide trial be- |
fore the council and giving the coun-
ell power to declare bond money for
feited. Councilman Sites thought |
the bond solution a very good idea
and Councilman Akin expressed a |
like opinion. Councilman Hoskins
said that in the case of English and
Mcguire promises had been broken
and the men were entitled to no SYM
pathy.
Esparzo of the Winnemucca hotel
was told to tell what he wanted to
concerning the accusations and he

THREE MEXICANS ARRESTED
BY OFFICERS LAST NIGHT

Deputy Sheriff Pinson started on a
search for Mexicans alleged to have
broken into Western Pacific caboose
and last night managed to round up
three after series of exciting ad-
ventures, finally calling in Sheriff
Brady and Night Officer Leighton for
assistance. About dozen Mexicans
were arrested on suspicion and were
searched, but only three were held.
One had on a coat that had been
taken from the caboose and another
was armed with a small-size cannon,
II having been said that he and the
third Mexican held were going to
get" Chief of Police Lamb because
he arrested and had convicted an
other Mexican for breaking into the
caboose. The Mexican who had on
the stolen coat was tried this after
noon and is to be sentenced tomor-
