Diphtheria at McDsrmitt Is Confinsd d
to One Indian Family, Says
The Silver States Special
Correspondent

McDEkMITT, Feb. "a change
in. the personnel of some of our
business institutions has taken place
within the last few days. Mrs. w.
o. Baber has taken over the Com
mercial hotel, which will be run in
connection with her own hostelry.
The retiring management of the
Commercial has opened another es-
tablishment across the street. Mrs.
Baber found this move necessary, as
her present location is not large
enough to accommodate her ever
increasing trade.
Diphtheria has appeared at the
post. DR.. Bowman, by his prompt
diagnosis and quarantine measures,
has allayed any fear of an epidemic,
as the disease is confined to one
Indian family.
1t is rumored there will be a
general roundup Of wild horses in
the spring, these abounding by the
hundreds in the hills west of Nc
Dermitt. Many Of these horses will
be caught and shipped to Petaluma
for chicken feed. Others will be
shot, as they are a great detriment
to the cattle and sheep industry in
this part Of the country, destroying
much range. Many fine animals
are among them and all are as wild
as deer. Many of these horses are
old and have never been branded.
DR.. Bowman has reconsidered his
plan Of leaving here, for the pres
ent, much to the relief of his
friends, and It is hoped he may be
prevailed upon to establish himself
here permanently.
Mrs. Baber is giving a ''house
warming in her new quarters Sat-
nrday night. It is useless to say
that it will be well attended. She
may have more room over there, but
it isn't possible for her to be more
popular.
A surprise party visited the home
of John Vargas last week and had
jolly time. Music and games, to-
gether with fine lunch, made the
evening one long to be remembered.
Mrs. Mel Wilkinson gave a birth
day party last Thursday in honor
Of her little daughter Freda. About
ten of her friends were entertained
and enjoyed the afternoon greatly.
A lovely cake with ten candles, and
real ice cream, besides numerous
other delicacies, made the young
sters very happy.
The grounding saw his shadow
yesterday, although a weak and
wintry one. Now for six weeks of
gout and rheumatics.
Juan Jaca came in with his
freight teams Wednesday, from
Paradise, loaded with seed wheat
and -four, both of excellent quality.
A bunch Of cattle from the Jim
Anderson ranch passed through here
today on the way to the Ellison
holdings. These cattle have been
purchased by the Ellison cattle COM
pany and Ernest Sullivan, jointly,
and are mostly stockers. They are
in fine condition.
A fire on the roof of the McDer-
mitt Mercantile Company store
caused some excitement recently.
The "Hello" girl became SO much
excited she couldn't decide which
was more important-to save her
latest fox-trot records or call up the
Winnemucca fire department, but
finally compromised by getting a
pail of water and passing it on to
where it did the most good. No

THE .M0ONsH|NE
TRIALS INTRIGUE
Failure to Convict Alleged Moon.
sinners Sets Local Tongues to
Wassing and Many Wonder
What's Necessary

Humboldt county residents who
like to see existing laws enforced
are not little intrigued by the fail
ure to convict by the district court
juries hearing the several cases
wherein different ones of the soft
drink" hangers on of this city were
charged with alleged offenses, sworn
to by the several peace officers of
the county and city. The action of
the several juries has resulted in
the adoption Of q new course of
procedure by the officialdom which
is seeking to enforce the laws which
they are sworn to uphold and it is
unlikely, say those in a position to
know, that any further trials of al
legged booze vendors and moonshine
makers will occur outside of the
federal court in Carson City.
This viewpoint is not entertained
in conflict with the very excellent,
able and eminently fair judge who
presides over the district court in
Humboldt and Pershing counties. It
will be invoked as an expedient
wherein it is hoped to eliminate the
sentiment that attaches when men
who rub elbows, and play cards, and
sometimes take nip together, are
called upon to pass judgment on the
guilt Of one with whom they have
bohnobbed, and fraternized, and
even gone to the extremity, when a
gnawing stomach called out in pro-
test against existing drouth, to dig
up shining half dollar piece in ex-
change for little of the liquid that
Is presumed to set the stomachic
content to galloping and the nerves
to tingling and the blood to rushing
to the uttermost anatomical points.
J. L. (Red) Richards was found
mot guilty" by his jury shortly be-
fore 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The defendant was discharged and
relieved Of the necessity of continu-
ing his bond previously given. Like
the jury in the Williams Eckloff
case. exactly twenty minutes were
required in the jury room delibera-
tions. Thereafter Mr.. Richards re-
ceived his clean bill.
Contrary to general belief, the
case pending against E. B. Pipes,
Richards bartender at the time Of
the raid wherein both we're placed
under arrest, was not dismissed.
The view was held that with prece-
dent against them the officers en-
trusted with the task Of enforcing
the laws could do nothing but pro-
coed with the trial Of Pipes.
The verdict in the Pipes case at
the conclusion Of argument by coun-
sci was, like those in the cases Of
Williams, Eckloff and Richards, mot
guilty" Similitude featured all
three jury deliberations in that it
required just twenty minutes in each
case to arrive at the decision ex-
culpating the defendants on the
charges upon which they had been
tried.
Lester Howard and Frank Brown,
charged with grand larceny, occupy
the defendants positions in court
this afternoon, the district court
continuing, without intermission.
