NEW BILL WILL BE PASSED
Word received by j. G. Moore of
the First National bank of this city,
from Senator J. Sheehan, vice-presi-
dent of that institution, who has
been in Washington as a member of
a committee of representative west
ern livestock men intent upon se-
curing favorable legislation for that
industry, as well as to find solu-
tions to problems confronting stock
growers, particularly relating to a
sound plan of insuring permanent
financing agencies, is that Senator
Sheehan left Washington yesterday
and will return to his home here
the latter part of this week. He
expressed belief that bill, embody-
ing the above enumerated benefits,
drawn at the instance of the COM
mittee and either introduced or to
be introduced, will pass in congress.

personal fouls against Battle Noun
tain.
In this game it was a contest of
science and speed of small men
against the strength of larger men,
with the smaller men of Winnemuc-
ca winning. The game was fast and
the pace set by the local men more
than once caused the Battle Noun
taineers to call "time out" while
substitutes were sent in to take the
place of exhausted men.
At the end of the first half the
score stood 13 to IL in favor of
Battle Mountain, Ronnow making
IL Of the points for Battle Noun
tain, while Winnmeucca's points
were split up between Murray, Hos
kins and Harness. At that time it
looked blue for Winnemucca, even
though Battle Mountain led by only
one point, but it developed that
the home boys were by far fresher
than Battle Mountain. Ronnow was
forced to stay out of the game
the first ten minutes of the second
half, due to exhaustion, and upon
his return his efforts were diverted to
an attempt to effectually guard
Murray, Winnemucca's fast and
slippery little forward, who was
piling up points so fast that it ap-
peared to be good basketball for
Battle Mountain to use strong
man against him. Murray was too
fast for the larger man and shifted
the play to Hoskins, and between the
two, backed by good passing on the
part of their teammates, the defeat
of Battle Mountain was accom-
plished by the margin of five points.
Following the games dance held
the crowd until something after
two o'clock Sunday morning, when
the Winnemuccans retired, worn
out but happy in their victories. 1t
is said, however, that their enthus-
iasm was too great to remain pent
up, and that during the early morn
ing hours interest ran high in a
bowling match, with Captain Harms
in charge, to the extent that the
management of the hostelry in
which the wildcats were domiciled
found it necessary to intercede in
the interest of other guests and
their need of rest. 1t was a grand
evening.
Sunday the teams were the guests
Of the high school domestic science
class at chicken dinner, and were
otherwise generously entertained.
High praise for the hospitality of
Battle Mountain was heard on every
hand and promises were frequent
that the treatment to be given the
teams and visitors from that town,
during the Forthcoming games here,
will be of a nature never to be for
gotten. 1t might be well to re-
mark, in passing, that the attend
ance at the games in Battle Noun
tain Saturday night was far greater
than is the usual case in this city,
and the backing the teams there re-
ceived was Of nature gratifying to
behold. 1t appeared that the whole
town was intensely interested in
the occasion, and the high school,
which is beautiful new building
and one which city much larger
could well be proud of, was crowded
to the extent that made seats al
vantage points difficult to secure.
Return games have been arranged
between the two teams, to be played
on the local high school court, or
