SOFT DRINK MEN
. ORDERED TO OPEN
City Council Demands That Sof,
Drink Places Be Remodeled So
Officers May Readily See
What Is Taking Place

Soft drink parlor proprietors in
Winnemucca must take down all
structures that will prohibit a free
view from the street of what is
going on within, or any structures
that will prohibit quick action on
the part Of peace officers in case
Of raid, or close their places of
business within the next five days,
it was decided at a meeting of the
city council held Monday night.
Notice of the resolution passed to
this effect was served upon the pro-
prietors of the Smoke House, Gem
and Golden Bar today along with
notice that new licenses will not be
issued until such work is accom-
plished. If after five days the par
titions barring ready access from
the street are not removed and new
licenses thus secured, these proprie-
tors are to be arrested for doing
business without city license.
This action was brought about
when local officers stated that these
places are so arranged as to cause
considerable delay on the part OF
officers if search were to be made,
thus providing time for destruction
of evidence, if any there might be.
The city council went on record
as in favor of providing funds for
the maintenance of the Humboldt
County Chamber of Commerce if
laws can be found conveying author
ity for such action. A committee
from the chamber waited upon the
council to secure such an express
sion and was composed of M. Rein
hart, c. L. Tobin, T. Grady and
C. B. Brown. Mayor T. A. Bran
don was given authority to inves-
tigate the statutes to determine if
such action should be within the
law. He stated today that while he
personally favored the proposition
he had found nothing in the laws
giving the city council authority tc
so donate to the chamber.
Improved city service for resi-
dents of this city living north of the
river was source of considerable
discussion. 1t is the desire of the
city councilmen to improve street
lighting and fire protection condi
tions in this portion of the city, and
it was decided at the meeting te
further investigate conditions with
view to definite action later.

FIST BATTLE
RESULTS IN ARRESTS, FINES

An alteration which resulted in
the destruction of most of the wear
ing apparel of one of the partici-
pants and the marring of beauty of
both, took place in the Smoke House
yesterday afternoon when ]. L.
("Red") Richards and Andy Butler
came to blows over a difference of
opinion.
As nearly as can be gotten to the
bottom of the trouble, Butler lost
a sum of money in a gambling game
and when Richards attempted to
console him over his loss, telling
him that good gambler never COM
planned after having lost his coin,
officers state that Butler showed
that he disagreed by using his fists.
The fight was then on and when
they were separated by the officers
both were considerably scratched up
and "Red" had lost portions of his
clothing.
They were both taken to the
county Jail, where they were given
a hearing before Police Judge Tom
Shone, who gave them each a fine
of $40 with an admonition to GO
home and sleep off the effects Of
what was evident. Both men re-
fused to complain against the other
and said that they were only hav-
ing friendly scrap.

OLD TIME HUMBOLDT COUNTY
RANcHER RETURNS TO COUNTY

Henry Patt, employed on the
Lower Clover Valley ranch, near
Red House, was in this city yester-
day gathering up hay hands to COM
mence haying there today.
Mr.. Pratt was owner of the
Lower Clover Valley ranch forty
years ago, when he sold it to Fred
Noble and bought one-half interest
in the Bull Head ranch in Paradise
Valley. During his ownership there
he built the sandstone house which
is still being used and made large
number of improvements in fencing
and farm buildings. Twenty-four
years ago he sold his interest in
the Bull Head ranch and moved to
Reno with his family, building him.
self residence there. After re-
naming there a number of years
the call of the farm got the best of
him again and he bought four cars
of cattle and took them to Alaska,
where he went into the stockraising
business. He claims the distinction
of taking the first hogs to that
country. His family remained in
Reno and after three years he be-
came so homesick that he sold his
ranch and stock and returned home.
His wife died a short time after
his return and he has now gone
back to his old place after forty
years and is working for J. G.
Taylor. He declares it seems good
to be back and that he feels quite al
home.

INCREASED ACTIVITY
IN EUREKA DISTRICT

Senator j. Sheehan, who returned
few days ago from Eureka, where
he attended a meeting of bank di-
rectors, reports the beginning of
operations at the Uncle Sam mine
in that vicinity and states that a
large mill is to be erected on the
mine property with actual construc-
tion in view by the first of August.
While on this trip Mr.. Sheehan
visited the Duckwater district south
of Eureka, in Nye county, and
states that conditions in that terri
tory are good due to the fact that
weather conditions there are pecu-
liarly favorable, and that farmers
and ranchers have not suffered
losses as have those in this vicinity.

LOCAL RA|LROADER
KILLED IN OGDEN
H. McLain of This City Killed
by Switch Engine Yesterday;
Was to Have Gone to
Work at Wells Today

Through some unknown way, j.
H. McLain, janitor at the local
Southern Pacific depot until Mon
day night, was killed in the Ogden
train yards last night at 10:45 o.
clock, being run over by a D. &.
R. G. engine which was backing
through the yards. How the ac-
cident occurred is not known and SO
far no further particulars have been
received here.
McLain has been a resident in
this city for nearly two years, dur
ing which time he has been en-
ployed by the S. P. as janitor. He
left here Monday night for Ogden,
wher he hoped to secure employ
ment which would enable him to
move his family to that place. 1t
is stated that Mrs. McLain re-
ceived a letter from him yesterday
stating that he had secured en-
ployment with the S. P. Company
at Wells and expected to go to
work there Immediately. He was
buying a home here in Haskell
street but it was expected that his
family was to follow him as soon
as he was settled.
He was 81 years of age, and is
survived by his wife and five chill
dren, all residing here, the oldest
child being 16. He is also sur
16 years of age. He is also sur
vived by one brother, Walter Nc
Lain employed at the Albert Seeli-
ger bottling works in this city, and
four other brothers and four Sis
ters in various parts of the United
States, and by his mother, who re-
sides in Twin Falls, Idaho. The
family left this afternoon for Og-
den, where it is expected the
funeral will be held.
McLain had worked on the South
ern Pacific system in various capaci-
ties in both this state and Idaho for
number of years and at one time
was seriously injured when a load
of ties fell on him while working
with section gang. He came here
with his family from Twin Falls
two years ago this coming fall and
during his residence here was known
to be hard and conscientious
worker.

GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO
CHANGE THE NEW HEAD
(From the Carson News)


The Silver State published at
Winnemucca, appears today in en-
larged form, one column having
been added to each page, and with
brand new heading. The paper
looks better, all but the head, which
is no improvement on the old one,
but perhaps this is the opinion of
one who has admired the paper as
it was and is too hide-bound to like
a change. Mr.. Ayres, the publisher,
has apparently at least partly re-
covered from the misfortune which
lost him his plant by fire some time
ago, and he is to be congratulated
in the Improvement in his paper
and his business.
