GONE WRONG

Harry Jim, an Indian of Carson
Valley, and Jerry Keno, who has
made his home at Sweetwater and
vicinity. proceeded to celebrate after
the fashion of their white brethren
Saturday night, by procuring bottle
Of moonshine, with the result that
Keno tried to scalp Harry Jim.
DR.. Howell was called to administer
to the wants of the injured while the
other tried to make hasty getaway.
He had not gone far however, on his
homeward journey when he tipped
the car over and was pinned UNDER
meath 1t. A party of tourists hap
pened along and seeing the wreck.
picked up the injured Indian and
took him to the Carson Valley hos
pital for treatment. When q doctor
was called 1t was found he was not
injured but dead drunk.
A warrant has been sworn out for
his arrest by his victim, but after
SOLDERING up, the sheriff was hunted
up and the warrant withdrawn.
The Indians told the officers that
they had procured the liquor at the
Mountain House. Sheriff Nielsen act
ing at once on their suggestion, took
a search warrant and accompanied
by Fred Balzaar. sherin Of Mineral
county, proceeded to the scene. Pete
Hounzaran, who has had the place
leased for the past year was caught
in the act Of placing a bottle of
booze underneath the floor and was
placed under arrest

zaran to Carson where he was ar
raigned before the U. 8. grand jury
which was in session.
The arrested man claims that he
had the liquor for personal use as
he has been in Ill health for some
time. Just what bearing that will
have on his case cannot be deter
mined, but 1t is alleged still might
be found In the canyons back Of the
Mountain House and close watch
will be maintained to find out II there
are not more connected with the
Illicit sale of liquor in that vicinity

CON. DISTRICT A
OPENS SEPT. II

The Consolidated School District
"A" will open for the fall term
September 11th. with an anticipated
enrolment of last year. The gram
mar grades will be under the guild
ance of Mrs. Blanchard, principal; !;
the intermediate grades will be
taught by Miss Calhoun of Sparks
and Miss Ruth Hull Miss Josephine
Hellwinkel will have charge of the
primary class.
No contract was let for the trans
portation of children on the East
Fork route, SO the trustees have de-
cided TO purchase school bus, and
hire a driver to take charge of it.
A Dodge Brothers one and one-half
ton truck has been ordered specially
equipped to carry twenty-eight pass
engers with the driver, steam heated
and plate glass windows. The en-
trance will be through the front of
the car. with an emergency door on
the rear The route will be by way
of the Ruhenstroth ranch to Carl
Heidtmans, then back to Gardnerville
through the central district
This Is by far the better mode of
transportation. as the students will
be sheltered from any stormy weather
and much more comfort will be as
sured.
The trustees of Consolidated A have
placed fire fighting apparatus in each
room and hall of the building and
have made many other needed re-
pairs to plumbing. New seats have
replaced many of the old ones in the
lower grades, and things generally
have been oyerhauled to make the
school term pleasant for the teachers
and pupils.

TRAINS AGAIN
RUNNING ON Time

The railroad strike has caused
much CONSERVATION among the mer-
chants In this section for fear q
freight tieup would ensue.
Arrangements were being made to
have a feet of trucks operate be-
tween here and Sacramento to take
care Of immediate needs. Ginnochic
Brothers with three trucks and az
many more could keep the merchants
In this community supplied without
any undue delays.
The reports are very encouraging
at present for a settlement of the
strike situation, and 1t is to be hoped
that amicable understanding can be
had on both sides.
Aside from the mail being delayed
for two days, trains have beon run
ming somewhat behind schedule, as
those who attended the bar assocla-
tion at San Francisco will testify.
Travelling was made rather difficult
for time.
II the head of the Locomotive En-
gineers, Warren Stones orders have
any bearing on the situation, the men
will all return to their posts and
trains will be moved on schedule
time.

HORSES DISAPPEAR FROM RANCH

w. D. Park reports the mysterious
disappearance Of three horses and
two pack mules from his river ranch
at youngs Crossing. Two Of the
animals belonged to l.. M. Jacobsen,
who kept them at the Park ranch for
packing to his sheep camp. The
gates were found open, thought 10
have been left by some careless
fisherman, and search of that
country was made for the stock to
no avail. The general supposition Is
that they were Intentionally driven
from the ranch. The rocky mountain
country would make tracking almost
impossible and In the weeks time they
could have been taken to some other
locality. Mr.. Park has sent informa-
ton to different California sections
and hopes to find some trace Of the
missing animals.

WATER TURNED
FROM RESERVOIR

One of the reservoirs belonging to
the Alpine company has been turned
down and between eight hundred and
one thousand inches of water is be-
ing distributed at this time over the
Dressler fiat.
The farmers were under the i'm
preston that the flow of the reser-
yoirs would not be needed this year
owing to the heavy snow fall of last
winter. The extreme heat has melt
ed the snow rapidly, and at this time
there is ample need for the storage
water.
Last fall one new reservoir was
built, and the others enlarged SO
that the volume of water contained
is a great many more thousand inch
es than last year.
1t is figured that the flow of water
from the reservoirs will last one
month, allowing every rancher tc
purchase the needed amount for his
irrigation purposes and that no one
will be deprived.
The Alpine Reservoir company
through their continuous work or
the Kinney Lake project, have es
tablshed storage system unequalet
for the size for storage purposes
Each year during the month Of Aug

tribution to the farmers. who woult

HIGHWAY ROUTE
IS SELECTED

The resort owners and private
property holders on the shores Of
Lake Tahoe between Lakeside Park
and AL Tahoe met Saturday at the
Young Brothers Bijou resort to de-
terminte the route for the Nevada
California highway that has been un-
der discussion for the past two years.
Mayor Bartlette of Berkeley pre-
sided over the meeting and R. Nor
rison of Lakeside acted as secretary.
A great deal of discussion followed
the proposed right of may from the
Connolly resort to AL Tahoe, with the
result that the route is to be located
at a distance of about two hundred
and fifty feet from the lake shore.
AS the present road is the property
of Eldorado county, 1t will be neces-
sary to petition the board of CON-
missioners OF that county at their
next regular meeting in September
to have the exchange made. as the
highway connects from Meyers Station
at Lakeside. II the commissioners of
Eldorado see fit to grant the petition,
it is expected that the California high
way will accept the proposed route,
thus making the road scenic as well
as convenience to the resort owners
at that portion Of the lake.
The Nevada highway commission
was represented by their engineer H.
+. Holley of Carson, who gave facts
and figures on road construction. It
is hoped that If the proposed road is
accepted, that work will commence
next month on repairing and widen
ing the same.

deep water to try their luck. Nc
Kenzie caught large trout, and In
his effort to land his prize, the boat
was capsized. The body TO Grogoo
was not found up to last reports.
Jemis, who was an expert swim
mer, was rescued after a frightful
battle for his life In the icy waters
His condition was serious for a time,
but at last reports was recovering
from the shock.
Mckenzie and Grogoo both leave
families to mourn their untimely
death, and who watched their loved
ones go down powerless to render
assistance, as the water was about
forty feet deep where the boat
capsized.
A coroner's inquest was held at
bridgeport Friday. and arrangements
were made for shipping the body of
Mckenzie to his home.
The three men were all employees
Of the Standard Oil company at
