Narrow Escape When
Car Turns Turtle

A badly damage car and a few
minor injuries to passengers was the
lucky outcome of what might have
been a very serious accident early
Sunday evening when the car be-
longing to George Lofthouse turned
turtle on the fiat back of Rattle
snake hill.
Mr.. LIGHTHOUSE bad just had his
machine oyerhauled and tuned in
good shape and had taken 1t out to
the fiat in company with Mayor
Clarke and George Owen to give it
trial The fiat has always been
considered good place for speed
trials but Mr.. Lofthouse was unfor-
tunate enough to strike a soft spot
while rounding curve and the car
turned completely over with the pas
sengers underneath. That no one
was seriously injured is considered
a marvel. The top of the car. wind
shield and tenders were badly
wrecked.

ing tied to tree not far from the

Gets Severe Penalty
For Reckless Driving
Willie Swift Draws $3.50 Fine and
15 Days For Driving Car
While Drunk

Willie Swift, local taxi driver,
pleaded guilty in police court Mon
day afternoon to the charge of driy-
ing a car while in an intoxicated
condition and was sentenced to pay
fine of $3.50 and serve 15 days in
the city Jail by Police Judge Yetter
The complaint against Swift was
sworn to by night policeman Chas
Way Way testified that early Sun
day evening he had seen Swift driv-
ing his car around town In a reck-
less manner and that later when the
car was parked at the curb he warn
ed Swift to leave the car where it
was and advised him to go home and
sober up. This proposition was
promptly vetoed by Swift who de-
clared his intention of driving when
ever and wherever he pleased, got
in the car and drove off at high
rate of speed before Way could stop
him. Several efforts were made dur
ing the night by officers Smitten and
Way to get a hold of Swift and put
him under arrest. Swift's defiance
and the desire of the officers to avoid
unnecessary violence and perhaps
bloodshed prevented the success of
their efforts until about two o'clock
in the morning when Way and Sher-
iff Jim Smith came upon him at the
Barrel House lunch counter where
he submitted tamely to arrest and
InalroA fA, fnI In,
county jail.
In imposing the severe sentence
that he did Police Judge Yetter call
ed attention to the particularly fla
grant character of the offense and
declared that for the protection of
life and property in the city of Fal-
Ion violators of the traffic ordinances
would hereafter be severely dealt
with.

Will Hear Arguments
In Rate Controversy
Union Pacific Protests Southern
Pacific's Low Fares to
Yellowstone

The Interstate Commerce Com
a hearing just concluded in San
Francisco, the Union Pacific's pro-
test against passenger rates estab-
lished by the Southern Pacific for
the purpose of permitting tourists
to go from Southern California to
Yellowstone Park via Northern Cal
ifornia, Nevada and Ogden at the
same rate as via the Union Pacific's
direct line from Los Angeles.
Briefs are to be submitted by
August 18th. Representatives from
more than a score of chambers of
commerce and other public bodies
have interyened to support the
Southern Pacific's contention that
travellers should be permitted to
make the trip to Yellowstone from
the South over either the San Joa-
quin Valley or Coast routes to San
Francisco or Sacramento and thence
to Yellowstone via Reno and Ogden
at the same rate as that over the
Union Pacifie's Los Angeles and Salt
Lake Line.
The Southern Pacific's represent
ative f. Z. Batturs, Assistant Pass
enger Traffic Manager, and c. W
Durbrow, Attorney, submitted an
exhibit showing that the Southern
Pacific interchanges passenger traf-
fic with the Union Pacific at Cotton
ond Ioo Anoaiac With tho Canto Ea
at Cotton, Los Angeles. Bakersfield.
Fresno, Merced, Stockton and San
Francisco and with the Western Pa
cific at San Francisco, stockton,
Sacramento and Marysyille
On the other hand the Southern
Pacific contended at the hearing that
the policy of the Union Pacific In
such matters was shown by the case
in which IL closed the Ogden Gate
way to the Denver a. Rio Grande in
order to restrict traffic to Union Pa
cihc lines. The pol. y of the Union
Pacific In that case and its policy in
the present are the same, the South
ern Pacific representative held.
Against these contentious w. S.
Bassinger of Omaha, Passenger
Traffic Manager of the Union Pacific,
at hearing held that the rates the
Southern Pacific proposed from
Southern California to Yellowstone
via San Francisco, Sacramento, Reno
and Ogden, were too low. Such
rates ne estimated. should be 20 per
cent higher than those over the Los
Angeles and Salt Lake line because
the route is longer.

c. f. KENT, DEMOCRAT
FOR STATE SENATE

Elsewhere In this issue we pub
lish the announcement of State SEN
ator Charles E. Kent as candidate
for reelection this fall, subject to
confirmation by the vote of the DEM
ocratic party at the coming primary
election. 1t Is with mech pleasure
that this paper endorses the candi-
dacy of Senator Kent for reelection.
During the two past sessions of the
state legislature in which he has
represented Churchill county In the
State Senate, he has, by his close at
tention to state and county legisla-
tion, his keen business insight and
conservative attitude in regard to
expenditures of public funds, gained
the respect of his associates In the
legislature and the esteem of his
friends in Churchill county. On
several occasions his vote has been
cast outside of party affiliations
when considered necessary to the
best interests of the state He is
best known as the author of the r.
rigation District Bill under which
the affairs of the Truckee-C Carson
project are being administered. We
think the service and time he has
given to the affairs of Churchill
county which everyone knows is at
loss In time and money to those
that serve should be recognized by
the voters of Churchill county In
returning him to the legislature by
a good handsome majority He has
the unqualified endorsement of the
Standard.

II. w. Huskey, former state SEN

ocratic nomination as Congressman
Senator Huskey is best known to
Nevadans at large for his work in
the state legislature, having been a
member of the state assembly for
two years and in the state senate
four years.
In the senate, Huskey helped per-
feet Nevada's Industrial Insurance,
helped reform our general election

mary Law, taking the nomination of

yention and from the political boss
es and giving 1t to the people, and
removing our Judiciary, from justic-
es of the supreme court to justice
of the peace, from party politics and
placing their names alike on all
tickets to be voted upon by all the
people.
Mr.. Huskey is deeply interested
in those things which will build up
greater Nevada and If elected to
Congress will be able. through his
experience and legislative ability, to
do great deal Of constructive work
for the benefit of his state.
