AUTO PERMITS
REFUSED DBY MAIL

An article that appeared in the
Reno Gazette recently and which was
republished in the Record-Courier
relating to securing permits by mail
for auto touring California, proved to
be without foundation according to
Hans Jepsen of Minden, who en-
deavored to secure a California per-
nit through that source.
The law of California requires the
owner of foreign car to secure a
permit within twenty-four hours
after entering that state. Nevadans
going into Yosemite valley, no matter
how diligently they try to comply
with the law, cannot do so. because
there is no place there that the per-
mits may be secured. The possibility
of securing a permit by mail appealed
to Mr.. Jepsen, and he communicated
with the motor vehicle department at
Sacramento and received notification
that there was no provision that
would allow the permits to be issued
by mail.

REJECTED LOVER
THREATENSLAD

After lavishing his love and wealth
upon a woman that failed to appre-
ciate his generosity in both instances,
man from San Francisco, threaten
ed to take the life of his lady-love
at Glenbrook last Thursday, and
Sheriff Nielsen was called in post
haste to the scene of the impending
fireworks, which were not in accord
with the principles eminating from
Fourth of July spirit.
Arriving at Glenbrook accompanied
by C. Jespersen, the sheriff found his
man and after giving him frisking,
failed to find a gun. It was detected
however, that the love-sick swain, had
dropped his automatic and was stand
ing on It.
He admitted to Sheriff Nielsen that
he was at Glenbrook for no good pur-
pose, but was heart broken over the
treatment that he had received from
the woman he loved. He was ar
rested and brought to Minden and
fined $40 for carrying concealed
weapon, after he had promised to
go his way and molest the woman in
question no more.
The couple first met in San Fran
cisco and the woman, some weeks
ago, arrived at Glenbrook to work at
the resort.
