FIGHTING BOOZE

The officers were called out Sat-

drunken squaws who were making
the night hideous for the residents of
school street. Constable Ramsay, as
sisted by Chris Jespersen, arrested
the offenders and landed them In the
town bastile.
The Indians around this section
have been getting booze as freely
as they wish apparently from the
number that have made themselves
nuisance at night. The officers are
watching very closely several suspi-
cious characters about town and IL
they do not heed timely warning,
will find themselves In the tolls of

JAIL BREAKER
APPREHENDED

Dick Booshinger, who was arrested
In Reno last Monday on warrant
sworn out for forging a check on
Fred Fulstone at Wellington, had his
hearing the justice court Saturday.
Information was filed against him by
the district attorney, to await the
action of Judge Langan to set the
date of his trial.
Saturday night, after all was quiet
about town, Booshinger filed the in
side lock on the Gardnerville Jail
with a case knife which he had made
into a saw. He then picked the out
side lock with piece of heavy wire
and made his getaway.
When his absence was discovered
the sheriff was at a loss to know
which way he had gone, and sent
messages broadcast for his apprehen-
sion. In the meantime a laborer at
the Gable Lakes dam telephoned to
the sheriff that man had stolen a
sum OF money and a revolver from
him at the camp and Immediately
asked for his arrest. Upon getting
the description of the man it was
found to be Booshinger, who had just
broken jail here.
Sheriff Nielsen left at once for
Cables Lakes with deputy sheriff
Williams Of Amador, and arrested the
man. He was returned to this county
and placed in the county jail at
where a watch will be main
tained to keep him from making an
other escape.
Booshinger claims to be under age,
but II is believed he has a crime
record. or he would not have COM
nitted the second act.

auto PERMITS
GRANTED BY MAIL

Arrangement has been made by the
Nevada Highway association with the
California motor vehicle division
whereby Nevada motorists may have
temporary California licenses issued
here and avoid the procedure Of reg
istering In California.
Notice Of the application for q per-
init should be filed with w. NJ. David
OF the highway association several
days in advance Of the contemplated
trip In order to allow time for the
nonresident license to arrive from
Sacramento. says the Reno Journal.
This additional service has been
adopted by the highway association
to allow Nevada residents to get q
temporary California license while on
trips to northern California, where
there are no registration stations.
In reply to letter from Mr.. David
regarding the attitude of California
concerning Nevada people who visit
lake resorts without having taken
out a temporary license. Charles c..
Chenu. director of the California mo-
tor vehicle division, replied that he
had agreed with Secretary of State
Brodigan that neither state would be
concerned with the visitor who in
tended to visit the lake ON a fishing
trip or go to Yosemite valley and re-
turn by the Tioga pass.
However, It seems to me-" he
writes. that some of the residents of
Nevada would wish to remain longer
than few days and It would be
necessary to have a resident per-
NIT as required by law"
Reports to the highway association
are to the effect that Nevada motor
lists who visit California resorts ON
Lake Tahoe have been requested to
take out nonresident licenses by Of
ficials stationed there.
While a similar law requires the
taking out Of nonresident licenses In
Nevada is also effective, enforcement
has been far less rigorous here than
in California.
The object Of the law is to check
thefts Of automobiles.

BOY ROBBED
NEAR FALL0N

That he was held at the point of
gun and relieved Of his purse con-
tanning a $40 bill, his coat and the
horse he was riding is the story told
the Fallon police by Amel Hunter
about midnight Monday evening. The
horse was found the next morning
tied to a tree near the south city
limits, says the Fallon Eagle.
Hunter came into Fallon from the
Hillhouse ranch three miles south of
Fallon where he is living with his
parents, to get medicine, he said. He
left for home about IL. Near the
edge of town on Saltwater avenue.
Amel said, man stepped out from
behind tree and walked ahead of
him for few steps. Turning he or
dered the boy to stop and, leveling
gun at him, ordered him off the
horse, according to Amel's story. The
boy was searched, he said, and was
relieved of his purse and coat. The
footpad then mounted the horse, rode
short distance and stopped to
throw off the coat, remarking, "here's
your coat"
Amel walked back to town and
told his story to Night Marshall Way.
He described the hold-up man as
white, about five feet, ten inches tall,
slender, and thought he was wearing
a vest coat, overalls and a small
black hat.

SEWERAGE PLANS
NOW APPROVED

The county commissioners held a
special meeting Friday evening when
the question of the Gardnerville sew
erage came before the board.
By unanimous vote a resolution
was adopted accepting the plans of
l.. H. Taylor. the engineer engaged
by the fire company OF Gardnerville
to draw up plans and specifications
for sewerage system and water
mains leading from 1t.
The bids for construction were or
dered advertised, based upon the sur
veyors plans as are published else
where In this issue.
The estimated cost as the plans of
Taylor called for was s26.232.5O. but
It has been found the location OF the
septic tank would make a greater
cost. and $4,000 was figured to be
necessary to cover the same. Bonds
for that sum have been authorized
issued and will be sold to the high
est cash bidder on the 9th of Septem-
Der.
The Gardnerville sewerage PROPOSE
ton has been discussed and redis-
cussed at various times and the final
completion Of the plans is one of the
progressive steps Of the fire company
OF this town. There has been many
difficulties In getting rights of way
for the waste mains, but perserver-
ance has overcome all difficulties and
the system Is now an assured fact.
Just as soon as the bonds are sold
active work will begin. and 1t is hop
cd to have great amount of the
piping done before cold weather set
In.
A town without sewerage has little
to offer to home seekers, and 1t Is
this commendabie move that is put
ting Gardnerville forward among the
class of progressives.
