AREMTz RESPONDS
TO URGENT CALL

Making the trip from Calienete
to Smith valley in two days by
automobile is setting record for
fast travel. S. S. Arentz, candidate
for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator, believes.
He was called from southern Ne
vada by telegram stating that his
wife was very i'll, but on reaching
their home found that her condi-
ton was improver and he arrived in
Reno Tuesday morning. Sidney Nc
Culla, Yerington boy, accom-
panied Mr.. Arentz on the trip from
Calienete.
Congressman Arentz is anticipat-
ing call back to Washington and
if this does not come in the course
of few days, he will resume his
campaign tour, providing Mrs.
Arentz's condition is such as to per-
nit him to leave her.

CHINESE ROBBER
GETS | TO Is YEARS

Lee Sing, the first Chinese burg
lar ever arrested in Reno, was
sentenced Wednesday morning by
Judge Bartlett to serve from one to
fifteen years in the state peniten-
tiary at Carson and was delivered
there today.
A plea for light sentence was
made in behalf of the Chinaman
by his attorney, who stated his
client had previously good repu-
tation and was led into the wrong
doing by white man. The court
announced the usual sentence would
be given and recommendations made
by the state board of pardons would
be considered by him.
Sing on the morning of August
II smashed a window of the Edises
& Wolf Jewelry store at 10 East
Second street and procured num-
Der of rings. He was placed under
arrest before he had an opportunity
to leave the store.-Gazette.

WOOL PRIZE WON
BY RANCE SHEEP

The awarding of prizes to Ne
vada wool growers for the best
fleeces which was done by Coast
wool buying concern and which
created great interest among sheep
owners in this state, has developed
some interesting discussion among
wool growers, according to Prof.
F. W. Wilson, professor of animal
husbandry at the university, says
the Reno Gazette.
at was my impression when the
prize winners were announced that
the fleece submitted by George
Hussman of Gardnerville was one
taken from a sheep that was bred
on the university farm" said Mr..
Wilson, "but | find now that this
was not the case. Mr.. Husman won
fourth prize with a fleece taken
from a range eve and this makes
his prize all the more valuable since

BOYLE FIGURES
AS TW0-GUN MAN

Gov. Boyle's reported Wild West
performance at Las Vegas Monday
morning when in true moving pic
ture hero style he whipped out a
gun and forced a would-be as
sailant to throw down his weapon
and throw up his hands, caused
considerable comment in Reno, but
it apparently did not excite nearly
as much interest here as it did in
the East.
The dispatch by the Associated
Press describing the governors ac-
ton came early in the afternoon
and it was sent simultaneously to
all parts of the country.
Within an hour kilograms from
eastern newspapers began to arrive
wanting special stories, pictures of
the governor and the man he cap
tured, pictures of the Las Vegas
stockade, stories of the governors
early training in the use of a
revolver, and similar requests.
The fact that Las Vegas is To-
Gated in the extreme southern part
of the state and Reno is several
hundred miles northeast of the seat
of trouble made no difference to
the eastern papers. Pictures Of the
affair should be readily available
IN Reno. they apparently believed.

.ELKO HAS ANOTHER
SCENIC WONDER

Another of the natural curiosities
destined to make Elko county fam
Gus the world over for scenic wond-
ers has been recently enlarged and
made accessible to the sightseer and
explorer, according to the Free
Press reporter who visited Cave
Creek last Sunday. Lou Benson,
prominent rancher of Ruby Valley,
whose ranch adjoins the caves, has
widened the entrance and with the
aid of little giant powder has
opened the cave for a distance of
half a mile into the side of the
mountain. Mr.. Benson has provided
boat and under his guidance the
public will be able to enjoy this new
wonder of nature.
The first knowledge of the ex-
istence of this cave came in the
early sixties when group of travel
lers stopped there for water and
upon arrival in Elko told of the
creek which gushed from the side
of the mountain. The first explora-
ton of the cave, however, was made
in the seventies by Gay Dawley,
former county official, and Tom
Short, pioneer rancher and breeder
Of pure bred stock, both of these
men at that time owned large
ranches in Ruby Valley, and both
are now deceased. They pene-
trated the cave to a depth of a
quarter of mile in boat and I'M
til Mr.. Benson undertook his work
of enlarging it, the same impene-
trable wall of rock that stopped
Dawley and Short, has proved a
barrier to explorers for half a CEN
fury.
Cave Creek normally carries a
large volume of water and roars
from the side of the mountain, ice
cold, emptying into the Ruby Lake,
turbulent mountain stream. Com
pared with the interior of the cave,
however, it would hardly be recog-
nized, for here in the stiffness of
the cave its waters are most placid.
The stream, except for the pools
which attain quite a depth, flows
between two and three feet deep.
The cave, which in places is very
narrow, reaches fifty feet on either
side of the creek in others, and
stretches upward nearly hundred
feet. From the floor, sides, and
top of the cave extend beautiful,
curiosities of nature, formed by wa
ter dripping from the roof to the
floor, similar to those which made
the Merengo Cave in India famous.
One of the wider spots was named
by the first explorer, Gay Dawley,
the "Organ Room" due to the
stalactities ranging almost uniformly
from the size of a pencil to that
of a barrel, bearing a close resem-
blance to the pipes Of a massive
pipe organ.
Passage further into the noun
tains is at present blocked by an
other wall, under which the water
gushes, siphon like, similar to the
one that held the original explorers
at the quarter mile mark. Mr..
Benson is at present laying plans
to blast this wall to discover what
secrets nature has hidden behind
it, and also to open the cave fur
Their for public inspection.
Cave Creek bubbles forth some
sixty miles south Of Secret Pass and
the public is now at liberty to en-
ter and explore it under the guild
ance of Benson.-Elko Free Press.

Third Bank RObber
Now in Custody
"DOc" Brought From Los
Angeles to Answer to
Addy Bank Burglary

Thomas L. Burke, better known in
the annals of eastern Washington
criminal history as "Doc," is in the
Stevens county Jail as result of. the
trip made by Deputy Sheriff l.. A.
Sizemore to Los Angeles, where
Burke had been held on charge of
burglary.
Burke is alleged to have been the
leader of the trio which pulled the
Addy bank robbery, his two accom-
plices now being in the penitentiary
as result Search has been made
for long time to locate Burke, and
the persistent work of Sheriff Gra-
ham and his deputies has finally
landed him.
Burke arrived in Colville in a
rather damaged condition, having
been injured by an accident in the
Los Angeles Jail. He is recovering
all right, and it is said that he may
plead guilty without trial. He has
already admitted his participation,
and identification has been positive.

Candidates Named
by Three Parties
Primary Returns Come
Slowly and TabulatiOns
Difficult to Make

With a registration of about 600
in Stevens county, the primary cleo
tion in the 68 precincts did not draw
the full possibilities of the vote de-
spite the beautiful weather.
Returns were very slow in coming
in to the auditors office, but by
Thursday afternoon all contests were
settled except that of Ham and Led
gerwood for the democratic nomina-
ton for sheriff.
The official canvass will be made
next week, and next weeks issue OF
the Examiner may be able to give
the vote for each candidate.
One of the most interesting ques-
tions in the primary campaign was
whether Senator Poindexter could
hold a sufficient part of the vote of
his party to make him reasonably
certain of election in November.
Yesterday morning, with four-fifths
of the precincts in the state reported
he had fallen below 5Oas of his party
vote which makes it seem improbable
that he can be elected. The vote
which he did not receive was largely
a protest vote, and had it been CEN
tered on one opponent it would have
defeated PoindeXter at primary.
With the democrats almost solid for
Dill and with this large republican
protest vote with nowhere to go ex-
cept to Dill or the farmer-labor
candidate Duncan, it is freely pre-
dicted that PoindeXter will be elm
mated in November The opposition
in his own party is responsible. The
