IMAM ALMOST LOST
EAR IN sCUFFLE
Friends Engage in Friendly Wrestl-
ing Bout and One 10 Thrown
Through Window and Ear
Is Almost Severed

While engaged in a friendly
scuffle, Tuesday evening, at Mrs.
Rutherford's boarding house, John
Larson, employed as a machinist in
the Western Pacific shops, had his
head showed through a window by
George Buchanan, an assistant
machinist and fellow worker in the
shops, and the broken pane al
most severed Larsen's left ear from
his head, cutting the ear, in a
slicing manner, so that it hung
merely attached by slight segment
of flesh at the lobe.
Fortunately for the injured man.
DIR. Marc Crocker, who also boards
at Mrs. Rutherford's, drove up in
his car at the moment and Larson
was Immediately placed in the auto
and taken to DIR. Crocker's office,
in the First National bank building,
where the ear was restored to its
normal position with twelve stitches.
The accident occurred at $50
in the evening and the seriousness
of the injury can best be appreci-
ated from the fact that the flow OF
blood was so great, resulting from
the severance of the veins and
arteries, that approximately two
pints were lost before DIR. Crockei
could staunch the flow; and even
after the doctor had succeeded in
bringing the flow to stop, it
broke out afresh, an hour or sc
later, following a slight movement
of the injured man, and again ii
was hard matter to bring il
under control.
The blood loss was so great that
DR.. Croker thought it best that
the man be taken to Salt Lake City
for blood TRANSMISSION, and at 4:3O
yesterday morning Larson was put
abroad No. 2 and whirled by the
Western Pacific to Salt Lake City
accompanied by George Buchanan;
and will be taken to the Holy Cros.
hospital for blood TRANSMISSION ano
any other treatment that it is
found necessary to administer.
While DIR. Crocker feels quite
confident that the loss of Larson
ear will be spared, he said that
the ride on the train might bring
about such a condition, ere he ar
rived at Salt Lake City, that the
surgeons there might find it abso
lutely necessary to complete the
amputation that he had attempted
to avoid finishing.
There is no particular lesson to
be derived from the accident, unless
it is that one should not permit his
head to be pushed through a
window while scuffling.

Inc Deihocrdtic Ouef was made
Sunday. 1t was signed by VIM. Nc
Knight, state chairman, and the
proposition suggested was a fol-
ows:
"RESOLVED, that the published
statements and figures of the Re-
publican state central committee
,urporting to compare the cost of
government in Nevada under the
oddie Republican administration,
With the cost under the Democratic
administration that followed, are in
'orrect, misleading, and in essential
PARTICULARS, wholly untrue and
'alse."
The Democratic proposition.
recording to leading Republicans, is
lot only Extensively stated, but is
% formulated that its acceptance,
is written, would compel the Re-
publican committee to take the de-
'ensive when its present position is
affirmative. furthermore, according
% the opponents of the present
tate administration, it would be a
waste of time and effort to conduct
public discussion on SO important
matter in a local theatre that
;ould accommodate less than five
Der cent of the people in the state.
The Republican state committee,
.ccordingly, has demanded that the
discussion be laid before all the
oters of Nevada, and suggested a
proposition for debate that will
permit the widest possible discus
ion of all issues pertaining to the
administration of the Nevada state
government.
The challenge from the Repub-
lean headquarters, and the one from
Vm. knight are published in full
below.

AS to Hon. VIM. M. Kearney.
whom you so kindly suggested as
an alternative Republican opponent,
we are advised that Mr.. Kearney
vii reply to you direct, and ex-
presses his readiness to debate upon
the public platform the extrava-
gance and inefficiency of Mr.. Scru-
CHAM during his term as state engi-
neer.
We believe that the extravaganza
of your administration should be
debated, and the record of your
office-holders laid before the people
of this state. We also believe that
this debate should take place upon
the widest possible stage, and not
be limited to the people who can
find seats in one hall in one city.
AS such a debate would involve
the employment of extensive and
highly-important statistics, which
could not be retained if orally i'm
parted, we believe that the debate
should be carried on wholly through
the public press, so that allAstate-
ments, particularly those regarding
taxation and expenditures, may be
placed in black and white upon the
printed page, in order that thew
may be carefully studied and di-
gested.
The proposition which you have
submitted for debate admits of the
construction that you wish to dis
cuss primarily what you term the
oddie administration and not your
own.
We remind you that it !. vour owr
party, and your own administration
which are on trial. We advise YOU
that we will not be bound by anv
proposition which will permit you to
escape liability before the people
FOR your own acts.
We therefore challenge YOU TO q
Joint debate before ALL the people.
we challenge you to select Hon.
Emmet d. Boyle, or James G. Scru-
CHAM, or both of them, or anyone
else capable of your defense, to a
JOINT debate or discussion in the
pubic press, and arrange with Us
for the full publication of all arpu.
ments and statements in the Reno
Evening Gazette and the Nevada
State Journal, and any other news
paper mutually selected, upon the
Following proposition:
RESOLVED: That there has
oeen unwarranted extravaganza in
-he conduct of the Nevada state
government by the present Demo-
'ratic administration, and that fo,
me welfare of the state and its
axpayers the present Democratic
tate administration should be de-
feated.
upon this proposition the Repub.
lean party and its state committee
nave already stated their case. Thew
nave done so publicly, from the
tump, through the press, and bv
newspaper advertisements. You have
lot met the issue.
Under the proposition above
stated you can take all the range
you desire. You can discuss all Tho
administrations that have ever ex.
isted in Nevada, but your own will
not be excused.

MR.. KEARNEY'S LETTER
October II, 1922.
Hon. William Mcknight, Chairman,
Democratic State Central Com
nittee,
Reno, Nevada.
Dear Sir: My attention has been
1irected to the Challenge issued
through your committee by Cover
Tor Boyle wherein you mention my
name as one with whom the chal-
ienger would like to "cross swords"
| have not received any direct COM
nunication on the subject, but
owing to the public nature Of the
invitation this reply is made. You
are advised, however, that l am
lot officially or otherwise connected
With the Republican State Central
Committee; that l have no voice in
directing its affairs, but l have
Volunteered to give, and have given,
The public the benefit of what
knowledge have in connection
With the expenditure of public
funds by State Engineer Scrugham,
your present Democratic candidate
for governor.
You, may advise Governor Boyle
that individually l cheerfully agree
to discuss publicly from the same
rostrum, all figures and issues con-
tanned in all my public addresses
recently made regarding the un-
warranted and extravagant use of
public money by State Engineer
Scrugham, which have been the
principal subjects of my campaign
talks.
This offer is made individually
without reference to what either
Mr.. Miller or the Republican State
Central Committee may do, as
do not presume to represent either
of Them. l ask and challenge both
Governor Boyle and Mr.. Scrugham
to deny the correctness of my
figures, and invite both gentlemen
to be present and am willing that
both of them may argue the SUBJ
Jects, and make any defense, they,
or either of them may have.
My proposition includes the re-
quest that Mr.. Scrugham be present
to defend his public utterances and
press reports regarding adjudica-
tion on the Humboldt River and
other streams he claims to have
completed.
My proposal, unlike yours, is def
mite as to the figures l have dis
cussed, as follows:
RESOLVED: That the appro-
priations and expenditures of public
funds by the Democratic candidate
for governor while he was state
engineer were from $50 to 300 per
cent greater than any previous ad-
of the same office; and
that neither the Humboldt river
nor any other stream of Importance
in the state has been adjudicated
by Mr.. Scrugham, as he claims.
The details of such a Joint pre-
sentation of the above subject may
be arranged for later if you accept.
Yours very truly,
VIM. NJ. KEARNEY.
