SHERIFF and PROHIBITION FORCE
RAID RANCH AND TAKE STILL

Prohibition officers, Brown and
Nash. accompanied by Sheriff Nielsen
early Tuesday mcrning raided the
home of +. Babcock. who resides on
the old Beemas ranch above Sheri-
dan, and secured complete still for
the manufacture of liquor, as well as
several barrels of mash and guam
tity of corn whiskey.
The officers arrived at Babcock's
home just as breakfast was being
served. Knocking on the kitchen door
no response was received and the Of
ficers walked in. The still had evil
IDENTIFY been on the kitchen stove, but
at the alarm on the door, 1t was re-
moved and placed in an adjoining
room and was warm when found by
the officers. Babcock and his COM
panion, man by the name of Will
.ams were arrested and brought to
Gardnerville where preliminary
hearing was held.
Babcock admitted his guilt but de-
clared that Williams had nothing to
do with the still, declaring that 1t
had been kept In a room under lock
and key and that Williams had no
knowledge of Its presence in the
house.

ACTIVITIES AT
The HIGH SCHOOL

The challenge basketball game be-
tween the Reno-Douglas High school
girls, which was played at Reno last
Friday night, was won by the Doug
las girls, the final score being 10
to IT.
The game started with both teams
playing their best, and both deter
mined to make victory theirs. In the
first half the ball was first at one
end of the court and then the other.
At center the ball was alternately
tipped by Leona Currie, the Douglas
center, and the Reno center. the
Block choice for the All-state
team. AS side-center, Grace Brock
liss gave her opponent, also an
All-state girl, hard fight for hon
ors. The Douglas forwards with
usual clocklike teamwork, kept the
Reno guards busy every minute, and
the superior playing of our guards
prevented the Reno forwards from
running up the score. The half end
ed with IL to score in favor of
Douglas.
During the third quarter of the
game thes core was kept nearly even
In the last quarter the Douglas girls
had a six point lead until the last
two minutes of the game, when the
Reno team took a sudden rally,
caging two two-point baskets and
making the final score 10 to H..
The game was clean cut, close and
very interesting, and left no doubt
In the minds of the spectators as
to which was the better team, even
though the losing team boasted three
All-state team members.
This victory gives the Douglas girls
second place among the state teams
result all the more remarkable on
account of the small enrolment OF
their school. Fallon remains the
State Champion.

ELkO INDIANS FIND OLD
TREATY. "SCRAP OF PAPER,

book of treaties entered into by
the United States government with
the Eastern Shoshone Indians, whose
tribal haunts are in the county of
Elko, was brought to light recently
by members of the tribe residing In
the city of Elko, according to a dis
patch to the Reno Gazette.
The treaty with the Elko county
tribes was entered into in 1868 and
is signed by James Doty, govern
ment commissioners, who was a re-
lative of Judge ]. G. Doughty of
Elko, and ten members of the Sho-
shone tribe. The treaty provides for
annuities aggregating $4,000 year
for twenty years, these to be paid by
the furnishing of stock, clothing and
such things as the president of the
United States may deem necessary
for the Indians. In return the Sho-
shones agreed to allow the govern
ment stage lines and settlements to
remain unmolested and to permit the
construction of a railroad through
their territory.
Local Indians assert that these
treaties have not been kept, and are
now endeavoring to interest the pres
ent administration in providing them
with greater reservation accommoda-
tions inc astern Nevada as a part of
the governments obligation under
the treaty of 1868.

TO ELECT THREE
SCHOOL OFFICERS

Tuesday. April 4th Is the day set
by law for holding school elections,
names OF candidates to be filed with
the county clerk five days previous
to that date.
l.. p. Jacobsen, member of the
present board of trustees of the the
Gardnerville district, states that the
terms of all three trustees expire
this year, and that unless an election
is held and their successors chosen
by the voters, the Superintedent of
Public Instruction will be forced to
fill the vacancies by appointment.
The Record Courier believes that
greater interest on the part of the
parents should be taken in school
matters, at least to the extent OF
selecting a board of trustees. The
present board has made good, and
IL the majority share in this belief,
they should be prevailed upon to file
their names as candidates. II others
believe that they can manage the af-
fairs OF the school better than 1t has
been, the present members of the
board will be delighted to give you
a chance to show your ability.
A school election should be held and
the parents interested in the school
should see to 1t that board is elect
ed and not appointed by officials that
have no interest in our school.

DOUGLAS GIRLS
WIN FROM RENO

In a basketball game played In
Reno last Friday night the girls
team of the Douglas county high
school defeated the Reno high
school girls by score of 19 to II.
This is the second defeated admins
tered to Reno by the Douglas girls
this season. In the game Friday
night both teams played fast ball
but the local girls clearly proved
that they were master of the situa
ton.
1t will be remembered that follow
ing the basketball tournament held
at Reno some weeks ago, the Block
N Society selected the players for the
all-state team. Four of those select
ed were from the Reno team, the rest
from Fallon. Honorary mention
was made of two individual players
of other teams but the Gardnerville
girls we're completely ignored by the
Block N Society
While the Douglas high school
have made no public comment on the
decision of the Block N Society, sup
porters of the Douglas girls have
expressed indignation at the treat
ment accorded the local girls. They
point to the fact that they defeated
Reno two games out of three, show
ing superior playing in all games,
yet four of the Reno girls were
chosen for places ON the all-state
team. There is no justice or fairness
in such a decision by the Block N
Society, and while as stated above,
the Douglas girls are too sportsman
like to register kick or even make
public comment on the selection
made by the Block N Society, the fol-
lowers of the team have right to the
belief that at leat one of the Douglas
girls should have been chosen for the
Eall-state team or given honorary
mention. 1t must be recognized that
the Douglas team, individually or
collectively, proved themselves to ex-
cell Reno in basketball

OLD TIMERS
RECALL BIG
SNOW SLIDE

The residents of Genoa have cal
led to mind that yesterday, March
10th, was the fortieth anniversary of
the big snow slide in Genoa, which
demolished the southern portion Of
the town.
The files of March 18th, 1882, gives
in part the following relative to the
avalanche:
At $50 yesterday morning the
town was startled by terrific rum
bling sound, as of an earthquake.
Bells rang and the cry for help
was passed along the street by those
who CHANGED to be out of bed.
The Long" building which stood
nearest the mountain, and occupied
by Indians was completely wrecked
and as nearly as could be ascertained
seven lost their lives. The residence
and barn of Minerod Bowers was
completely crushed to pieces and
carried On an adjoining lot belonging
to d. w. Virgin. Minerod and wife
were found. still In their bed and
almost ON top of the snow and debris
both dead. Two German relatives of
the Bowers had arrived the previous
evening from the East, and were
sleeping in the house that night.
One escaped unhurt, but the other,
who dug his way out from be-
meath the trunk of a tree had a
broken shoulder and other injuries.
The residences of d. w. Virgin,
W. ID. Gray and II. Boerlin were
the next street below Bowers.
Boerlin's house was entirely de-
stroyed. The occupants escaped un-
hurt, after being dug out of the
snow with the exception of the baby
girl Polina, who was found dead in
her mothers arms.
The dwelling of Gray was almost
a total wreck Mr.. Gray was shovel
ing snow near his house when he
saw teh slide coming. He called to
his wife who was In the kitchen to
save herself, and they both fed
through the front door just as the
rear of the house was demolished.
Virgins house being of brick with
stood the force of the slide. His
orchard, barn and other buildings
back of the house were destroyed
and the kitchen considerably dam
aged.
The slide came down just south
of Genoa Canyon and swept every
thing before it. No obstacle seemed
to check the moyin mass of snow un-
til 1t had spread out and lost Its
force on the level piece of land
on which Genoa was built, fully a
quarter OF mile from the base of
the mountain.
Furniture, bedding household goods
and trees were scattered over the
snow which was from ten to fifty
feet In depth and several acres in
extent,

Both men came from California last
fall and Babcock had the still shipped
to him from his former home and the
officers believe that he was manu-
featuring corn whiskey there before
coming to Nevada.
While it is not known Just how the
officers secured knowledge that
Babcock was operating a still at his
home near Sheridan, 1t Is learned
that different ones here had seen him
carrying mysterious bundles into
local establishments where liquor is
believed was sold It Is probable
that careless distribution led to his
detection.
Babcock is quite well known here,
having resided in Gardnerville on
various occasions during the past
several years. He = an old race
horse man and devoted much of his
time to blooded animals.
Both men were held for trial.
During the afternoon another raid
was made and a quantity of mash
and booze found. but no arrests have
ben made. as 1t Is claimed the build
was unused and has stood wide open
for many months.

TRUCK DISPUTE
GIVEN HEARING

Further hearing was held before
the Public Service Commission of
Nevada at Carson Tuesday relative
I the granting of permit of pub
II convenience to Anderson Bros, to
carry passengers between Minden
and Bridgeport.
Anderson Bros. held "a permit of
this kind before the war, but while
they were serving in the army they
suspended operations. Returning after
their discharge, they devoted their
time exclusively to hauling freight
between the two points named. At
this time they hold the contract for
carrying the mail between Minden
and Bridgeport, and will assume
charge OF the route on July 1st.
They have been granted a certificate
of public convenience by the public
service commission of California and
are now seeking a similar permit
from the Nevada commission.
At the hearing held Tuesday Geo.
A. Montrose represented Anderson
Bros. while o. B. Gefeke, the pres
ent mail contractor, who is opposing
the granting of the permit, was repre-
sented by Attorney Geo. Sanford.

INDIANS
ARE DESTITUTE

1t has been reported here during
the past several weeks that num-
ber of aged Washoe Indians were in
destitute condition at their huts In
different part of the Valley. This
week, o. o. Haugner, who has always
taken more or less interest In the
welfare of the aged Indians of this
locality, wrote to Rev. Scott, Indian
missionary worker at Reno, inform
ing him of the deplorable condition
of number of aged Indians who are
reported on the verge OF starvation.
According to Mr.. Scott, who has in
vestigated the situation here, many of
the Indian families are In urgent
need of food. Mr.. Scott has given the
board of commissioners a list of the
Indian families that must be relieved
at once. During a recent investiga-
ton of conditions here, he says, ac-
cording to the Gazette. he found
many persons In want including some
old women and young Indian widow
with two children. This woman, he
said, has been feeding her children
with. scraps she could pick up around
Gardnerville.
For the past number of years the
United States Indian department
allowed a certain monthly amount to
care for needy cases among the local
Indians with an agreement of sup
port from the county commissioners
Through these two sources the needy
Indians were amply cared for. As a
matter of fact. many of the young
Indians, 1t is said, found that 1t was
quite easy to obtain food at the huts
where supplies had been furnished,
with a result that big able bodied In
dians were getting the benefit of the
support intended for the aged and
needy Indians.
Last fall the Indians agents asked
the county to give its support to the
Indians as it had in the past but at
the same eime intimated that the
department would be unable to help
in the charitable work among the
local tribe.
The people of Carson Valley are
too we'll situated to allow a human
being suffer in their midst from
starvation. This matter should be in
vestigated Immediately by local people
and If aged Indians are found in
destitute condition, the people will
respond quickly to the call for help.
