Young Visitor Run
Down by Car During
High School Parade
Charles Owensof WilmingtonSuffers
Slight Injuries In Accident
Monday Night
DRAGGED SEVERAL FEET

What might have been fatal ac-
cident marred the High School Jubilee
Parade last Monday night when a
car driven by George Jackson ran
down three or four members of a
group who were busily snake dancing
their way along Main street behind
the band.
Charles Owens, of Wilmington, a
guest at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George l.. Townsend, accompanied by
Richard Manns and young George
Townsend and several others were in
the midst of the traditional snake
dance, when car came down the
left side Of the street and attempted
to pass the celebrants. George Jack
son, the driver, possibly did not see
the boys, or else the accident was due
to neligent driving. At any rate the
car struck both Owens and Manns
fairly The latter was lifted in the
air by the force of the impact and
landed atop the hood of the car. The
fender struck young Owens and
knocked him under the wheels. The

eral feet along the hard paving. His
injuries consisted of painful bruises
and lacerations about the body. A
portion of his hair was torn out, prob
ably by being dragged along the
street.
He was removed at once to the

called. His injuries were not consld-
cred serious but it was stated that
the boy was very fortunate to have
escaped so easily. Young Manns SEEM

Newark Post,
Dear Editor:
Just a few lines for public print.
l wish to express my appreciation of
the whole-hearted manner in which
our two bands entered into the spirit
OF showing the .community's appre-
citation of our High School Foot Ball
Teams winnig the State champion
ship for the third consecutive time.
The two wonderful bands are the life
and spirit Of our Town, they are al
ways ready and willing to serve
gratis, when the Towns interest or
Town institutions are to be benefited
by their services. Il we had few
more organizations like Minnehaha
and the Continental Bands our Town
would be what the progressives try to
think it is. If you will let your
thoughts wander back to the time
when Newark was without a band,
and the citizens were trying to have a
celebration, how dead, what lack of
enthusiasm, how hard to create an
interest, but just get a band like the
Continental of Minnehaha, and see
what spontaneous burst of enthus-
iasm will be manifested. Any sort of
celebration can be a success if you
have good band. Newark has two
| splendid bands, and let us not lax in
supporting them. When the Bands
solicit our support for some affair to
raise funds for the maintenance of
thei organizations, let the community
respond with the same spirit that our
Bands have always shown in all Town
| affairs.
Wishing both bands prosperity and
continued success, l remain,
Yours truly,
John Jay.

was that of Worthy Steward Iefrer
son Cooper, of Cheswold. In his re-
port, Mr.. Cooper took issue with tho
cooperative selling idea which bss
been published in several papers. The
marke in apples last season, for in
stance, would not clear expenses bv q
wide margin. He spoke of the fact
that the city dweller does not know
the exact conditions under which tho
down State farmer works. There ;s
no place to ship the produce but to
the cities and the expenses are pro-
hibitive.
A portion of Mr.. Jefferson's re-.
port in other subjects follows:
eve are just now suffering the re-
suit of organized capital and labor in
the coal field. Last spring the mine
owners and the head of the miners
union found too muc coal was being
! mined and the strike was the solution
so that miners wages could be main
tanned by a less than normal supply
and at the same time add to the pro-
fits of the owners. Now if it was pos-
sible to organize the farmers in the
oranges up to 80 per cent and have
our national master allot production
and withhold the supply until the
populace got real hungry, and then
deal it out miserly until we could get
more than we needed to, we could
have time to play and would not need
to have capitalists providing farm
loan banks to put us farther and more
firmly in their clutches.

LOVELOCK RANCHERS
GOING I'm FOR DAIRYING

Farm Bureau Agent Joe Wilson
left this afternoon for Lovelock,
where he will be engaged in at
tending to his official duties in that
vicinity. Through the efforts of
the farm bureau 160 dairy cows
will be secured from Wisconsin for
farmers in Pershing and Humboldt
counties. A similar shipment of 80
cows was secured from that state
last year and the stock distributed
among farmers in the two counties.
This stock, which is all high grade,
is giving such good satisfaction that
the. demand this year is much
greater. These cows are yearlings
and two-year-olds and are reported
to produce over twice the amount
of milk secured from cows raised
in this vicinity, and the yearlings
average $40 per month in produc.
ton. The distribution of this stock
will be about 100 head for Perish.
ing county and 60 head for this
county.

MAN TIRE VI BODY
AHEAD Of TRAIN
Eye Witnesses at Ogden Said j. IL.
McLain of This City Deliber-
ately Committed Suicide;
Insanity is Suspected

j. A. Lorentz, track foreman of
this city for the Southern Pacific
Company, returned Sunday night
from Ogden, where he attended the
funeral of J. II. McLain, former
ianitor of this city who was en-
ployed by the Southern Pacific and
who was killed in the Ogden yards
last Wednesday, day or SO after
leaving Winnemucca in search Of
better job" He had secured
work at Wells, he informed his
wife in a letter received the day
he was killed.
Mrs. McLain, the widow and the
five children of the union, also went
to Ogden for the funeral. They
have returned here and will reside
here temporarily, decision not hav-
ing been made as to future plans.
Regarding the death of McLain
newspaped item in the Ogden
Standardization is enlightening and
said to be authentic, both as to the
manner of his death and his mental
condition at the time. The paper
said:
]. II. McLain, aged 50, was in
stantly killed last night in the rail-
road yards when struck by Den
yer & Rio Grade Western railroad
passenger train. His arm and legs
were badly mangled. The right leg
below the knee was artificial.
According to Andrew J. Wilkin-
son, 1864 Ogden avenue and Char
les Kelly, "a Union Pacific brake
man, McLain deliberately threw his
body in front of the train. These
men made this report to the police
station.
McLain is from Winnemucca, Ne
vada, where he was formerly en-
ployed as a janitor for the South
ern Pacific, it is said. He is sur
vived by widow and five children.
McLain was identified by As
sistant Superintendent Fred C..
Smith Of the Salt Lake Division Of
the Southern Pacific lines.
According to information given
out by the police today, McLain
spent Tuesday night at the Jail as
lodger. He acted peculiarly then,
the police said. No inquest will be
held.

OFFICIALS CLAIM ALL is
WELL ON WESTERN PACIFIC

II. j. BEEN, superintendent of the
eastern division of the Western Pa
cific system, from Gerlach to Salt
Lake City, was an arrival here yes
terday from Elko looking over the
local strike situation.
He stated that along the line
covered by him, all is peaceful in
shops and that very little work so
far has been noticed in shops and
along the roads. He states that in
Elko shops a full force, with the
exception of four or five men, are
Cling the places of men striking
No violence or disturbances of any
sort, he states, has been noticed as
q result of this situation. At Wend-
over, he states, the situation is
very much like it is here, the men
are out and no one is filling their
places, yet trains continue to move
on schedule. A report Of a mur-
der in Wendover, it is said, is purely
the product of someone's imagina-
ton.

PLANS GOING AHEAD FER
JORDAN VALLEY ROAD MEET

A letter has been received by
Theodore Grady, secretary of the
local Chamber of Commerce, from
Secretary B. C. Palmer of the Jor-
dan Valley Commercial Club, which
sets October II, 13 and IA as ten
tative dates for the big road meet
ing to be held at Jordan Valley this
fall. In his letter Mr.. Palmer re-
quests reports of fairs and conven-
tions to be held in towns and cities
along the LON. cutoff and in
other places to be represented ut
the meeting, apparently endeavoring
to avoid conflict of dates. He also
requests names of various California
commercial organizations represent
ed at the recent road meeting held
in this city.
Big plans are being made for
the road meeting to be held in Jor-
dan Valley next fall and large
crowd, similar to the one attending
here, is expected to make the trip
to the northern town. Representa-
tives from over Oregon and Idaho
are expected to attend in numbers
to make up for those in California
who will find the distance too great
to cover and the good work started
by road enthusiasts at the meeting
here is expected to take on more
impetus at the fall meeting, with
realization of projects in large num-
bers being worked upon for some
time by workers for a better high
way system through the western
states.

MEETING IS HELD
| BY R. R. WORKERS
Maintenance of Way Men Held
Meeting Open to Public Last
Night and Status of Srike
Explained by Officer

A meeting of the railroaders
here belonging to the Order of
Maintenance of Way Employees was
held in the court house last night
and was attended by the majority
of striking shopcraftsmen here, as
well as a large number of members
of the first mentioned order.
S. P. Evans, representative of the
Maintenance of Ways lodges of the
United States, was present at the
meeting and spoke to the assem-
blage on the question of the strike,
instructing the men to stay at work
until further notified and explaining
to members of the shopcraft why
the maintenance of ways employees
had not gone out at the time their
strike was called. He stated that
they had had no instructions from
headquarters to walk out and that
conferences between the labor board
and union leaders had been taking
place during all the time since the
calling of the shopcraft strike. He
declared that definite action would
be taken by the maintenance Of way
order as soon as a reply had been
given by the board to a request by
the union heads that the wage cut
be eliminated and the restoration
to normal pay be retroactive to the
July 1st date, this action to be taken
by the order on the 18th of this
month in case the request is not
complied with. Yesterday was the
date set for the termination of the
conference and it is expected that
definite decision will be made one
way or another at once.
Mr.. Evans has been travelling over
both the Southern Pacific and West
ern Pacific roads and is securing
new members for the maintenance
of way organization, and reported
the enrolment of 500 new members
between here and Salt Lake City
within very short period of time.
He explained to the striking shop
men that his organization was most
sympathetic with them and was act
ing in the manner which seemed
most judicial to the majority.
On account of refusing to COM
ply with request of the carpen-
ters union three years ago for the
giving up of carpenters from the
maintenance of way order, the lat
ter order was dropped from the
American Federation Of Labor rolls
and was only reinstated July L Of
this year. This was given as one
reason for their careful steps in
connection with the present strike,
expressing the desire to act in a
manner which can not incur the
disfavor of the federation in any
way.

SECOND LOAN AFFIRMED
FOR NEVADA STOCKMEN

Senator J. Sheehan announces
that he has received formal notice
from Washington announcing that
the second war loan for stockmen,
for which he made application at
San Francisco some time ago, has
been finally approved at the ma
tional capital. This second loan
amounting to $130,000 will be
available for stockmen within the
near future. The first loan
amounted to $685. 500 and has been
distributed among stockmen already,
and the third loan for the North
ern Nevada Loan Association will
be applied for during the first part
of September, according to Mr..
Sheehan, manager of the northern
Nevada branch.

HIGHWAY OFFICIAL
TO USE INFLUENCE
Government Official Here Yesterday
Believes Road to Paradise Hill
Is Necessary and He Will
Aid In Consummation

Perhaps a definite step toward
the realization of the making Of
route 8, section of the highway on
the LON. cutoff between Winnie
mucca and Paradise Hill, which has
been causing so much CONSERVATION
in this vicinity on account of the
apparent disinclination of the fed
eral bureau of roads to grant the
expending of federal money for the
improvement of that stretch by
making it an important portion of
the highway system of this part of
the country, will be taken as a re-
suit of the visit yesterday to that
particular stretch by d. l.. McBeth,
United States highway engineer con-
nected with the federal bureau, to
that particular stretch yesterday.
McBeth, accompanied by County
Surveyor X. E. Tilden, left here yes
terday morning and covered the
route mentioned as far as Paradise
Hill to determine the need for inn
proyements and to get line on the
situation as viewed from the stand
point of residents in this vicinity.
He found the road to be in very
poor condition and spoke most IA
vorably of using his influence in
securing federal road money for
work to be commenced there within
the near future. This route makes
an important link in the LON.
cutoff and is used by a large num-
ber of residents in this county, as
well as by tourists and large stock
owners from the northern part of
the state. An effort has been made
on the part of the local Chamber of
Commerce and many others inter-
ested in this route toward bringing
about decision in favor of the
project, and circulars and petitions
to this effect have been circulated
in various places.
Mr.. Tilden states that in places
the road is in very poor condition
and that in one place for a stretch
of six miles the highway is almost
impossible. A favorable report
from the federal bureau of roads
is expected soon and win be well
coined by a large number of truck
men and automobile owners in this
part of the state.

Deputy Attorney General Says Law
Should Be Tested, but That
Such Action Might Entail
Serious Consequences

In view of recent developments in
Humboldt county as concerns the
operation Of the nepotism law,
which prohibits employment of rela-
tives by county, state and city Of
fcals, the following news item,
taken from the issue of the Reno
Gazette Of Saturday, is interesting.
1t will be remembered that payment
of certain salary claims of relatives
of County Commissioners Bell and
Bradshaw was recently protested,
whereupon County Auditor German
refused to honor the warrants and
the county commissioners thereupon,
at their last meeting, again signed
the bills for payment, thus taking
all responsibility for payment of
the bills and making it compulsory
that the county auditor pay same,
which has been done. What the
next step is to be-whether crimi-
nal action is to be taken against
the commissioners in the courts, as
provided by law and entailing fine
and Imprisonment upon conviction,
as well as forfeiture of office-has
not yet been announced, but it
seems probable at this time that
the matter is not to be dropped.
The item in the Gazette follows:
The states nepotism law should
be tested out in the courts in order
to settle numerous disputes is the
opinion of Robert Richards, deputy
attorney general, who has been
called upon several times during
the past few weeks to give opinions
on the law for county officials.
A few days ago he received a
request for an opinion on the law
from the district attorney of White
Pine county regarding it's applica-
tion to the erection of a new school
house. 1t appears that relative
of one of the members of the school
board was to be employed as super
visor of the building construction
on commission basis. Mr.. Rich
ards stated this morning that he adj
vised the White Pine district at
torney that The man could not be
employed on the work even if his
relative on the school board voted
against his appointment.
The opinion created a stir in Ely
and letters protesting against the
opinion were received.
''The law should be tested" said
Mr.. Richards, "as the opinions given
by our office are merely advisory.
But to test the law entails some
risk as the penalty is severe. A
fine and Jail sentence can be i'm
posed together With forfeiture of
office while the auditor and treas
urer of county paying salary
warrants to persons employed in
violation of the law would be liable"

Bank Statement Good

The reported conditions of the
First National Bank of Winnemucca
published in this issue, shows graft
flying increases in practically every
entry, considered by many to to be
but another proof that prosperity
is with us, at least in this vicinity.
In large measure funds secured by
Senator Sheehan from the War FL
nance Corporation are probably re-
sponsible for the good showing, but
this nevertheless does not detract
from the fact that the First National
is one of the strongest institutions
of its kind in the entire west.
