SUGGEST BETTER ROUTING

Members of the Humboldt County
Chamber of Commerce are arrang-
ing for a trip to Paradise Valley
Saturday, to attend a meeting to
be held there that night under the
auspices Of the Paradise Valley
Community Center, an auxiliary OF

ests of Winnemucca to the fact that
the road survey made by the state
highway department routing from
Winnemucca to Toll House and
thence over Paradise Hill to Para

be constructed diverging from Toll
House to Willow Point, and thence
to Paradise Valley.

BANDITS CAREER
/. ENDS IN GUN FIGHT
Criminal Who Made Exciting Escape
From Sheriff, Whom He Beat
Up, Is Cornered in East
St. Louis and Killed

Some of the citizens of Winnie
mucca, and particularly those who
were identified with the operation
Of the county hospital, three years
ago, will recall an episode in which
California sheriff was so severely
beaten up by a prisoner, while on
his way through here, over the
Western Pacific, en- route from
Butte, Montana, to Modesto, Cali
fornia, that it was necessary to
take the sheriff from the train,
when it arrived here, and take him
to the county hospital for treat
ment. The closing chapter in the
life of the criminal who, at that
time attacked the sheriff and made
his escape from the official, is
given in the Elko Independent, as
follows:
Louis Trider, who created SEN
sation in Elko county in 1919 in
escaping from A. S. Dingley, a
California sheriff, was killed in East
St. Louis by detectives who cor
nered Trider after nationwide
search for him.
"Trider in 1919, was arrested in
Butte, Montana on a statutory
charge preferred against him by
his sister, at Modesto, California.
While being returned to California
over the Western Pacific railroad
rrider struck Sheriff Dingley over
the head with an iron hasp. Dingley
attempted to draw gun, but
Trider enlisted aid of other pas
sengers on the train by representing
that his captor was an insane man.
Dingley was taken to the hospital
at Winnemucca, so serious were the
injuries inflicted by the fugitive.
"Trider on Christmas eve of 1919

RANCH HOME DANCE AND
BANQUET GREATLY ENJOYED

A party consisting of F. ]. But
ton, George Balm, John Rogers and
Tom Shone, drove in Sunday even
ing from attendance at a dance
and banquet held Saturday night
at the ranch home of Fred Hummel
and wife, 16 miles from Jungo.
The gentlemen are loud in their
praises of the hospitality of the
host and hostess; and as all of
them are grub connisseures of
rare intelligence, their praise of the
viands, as a. banquet fit for the
gods, cannot fail of impressing one
with the thought that Mrs. Hummel
is a past-mistress in the culinary
art.
A select crowd was present, num-
bering several from Jungo, Sui
phur and contiguous ranches, as
well as the gourmands from Win
nemucca, above mentioned; and an
unusually pleasant time was en-
joyed.

represented at the good roads con-
vention held at Jordan Valley,
Oregon, the latter part Of last
week, and the consensus Of opinion,
Of the delegates who attended, is
that Humboldt county stands to
reap great benefit from the meet
ing, as the LON cutoff, it was
unanimously agreed, by the dele

perative need that must not be

apostles of good highways were
in attendance at the meeting, as
was Hon. Pat j. Gallagher, of

highway department.
1t was deemed very fortunate
that Governor Olcott and others of
the state officials were present rs
it enabled them to better grasp the
needs of that particular part of
the state, and Governor Olcott un-
hesitatingly commended the spirit
that is prompting action in the mat
ter of the LON cutoff and similar
good roads projects.
Jordan Valley people manifested
a spirit of hospitality that was
most thoroughly appreciated by all
of the delegates in attendance and
the homes were thrown wide open
to the visitors, who were cared for
In manner that left no room for
complaint, even though the towns
people are not ordinarily prepared
for the reception of SO many
strangers.
With the yards raked, and the
streets spotlessly clean, Jordan Val
ley put her best foot forward and
took on real holiday appearances,
all of the citizens wearing CHEEKY
smiles of welcome, judging from
that which is told to The Silver
State by travelling man who was
there last week.

EARLY DAY CITIZEN
GOES TO LONG REST
Pioneer Assayer and Mining Man
Dies From An Attack of Apo
plexy Which He Suffered
Ten Days Ago

1t was with grief profoundest
that the large number of friends
of Lorenzo d. Hubbard learned of
his passing to that bourne from
which no traveller has e'er returned,
Sunday morning last, at the home
of the family in this city, following
a ten-days' illness resultant from
an apoplectic stroke, which he suf-
fered at Mill City on the afternoon
of the 7th of this month.
Lorenzo d. Hubbard was a native
of New York state, born in the
northern part, on a farm, of rug
ged New England forbears, May %,
1862, and was, the time of his
death, aged 60 years, months and
Is days.
Mr.. Hubbard early needed the
sage counsel of Horace Greely, $50
west, young man, and grow up with
the country" and at the age of 81
he landed in Colorado. There he
married, turned his attention to
mining and eventually acquired pro-
ficiency as an assayer, meantime
rearing family of three chill
dren, viz, Gilbert M, who is now
married and is Southern Pa
: cific fireman, with headquarters at
Sparks; Mildred L., of Denver and
Marie g., of Colorado Springs.
Deceased maintained residence in
Colorado until 1902, when he de-
cided to make change and located
at Mill City, where he lived for
five years, devoting his talents to
mining and assaying; and then,
with a view to widening his op-
portunities as an assayer, he moved
here with his wife, formerly Miss
Myrtle Organ, daughter of Peter
Organ of Mill City, to whom he was
married, here in Winnemucca, May
6, 1902, his first helpmate having
died some years preceding.
To the second union there were
three children born, Ruth o., Elwir
r., and Bruce L., all Of whom and
the. eldest son, Gilbert M, were at
the bedside to lend comfort to the
mother as the father and husband
passed from the land of the quick
to the realms of the dead.
Besides the immediate family, &
lone sister, Mrs. Jennie Sargent, of
Bradford, Vermont, is left to mourn
the death of her brother, and will.
not be able to attend the sinterment
of the last of the family, because
of the long distance intervening.
A coincidence out of the ordinar,
rests in the fact that Mr.. Hubbard
was stricken with the hand OF
Death at Mil City-the place where
he first located on coming to this
state, although he was there the
day Of the apoplectic stroke for the
first time in several months.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. j. II. Westervelt were helo

made in the Masonic cemetery un.

AT THE RYLANDER

Katherine MacDonald's newes
screen play to be released by Asso'

DEL" which will have its first show
ing in this city at the Rylander the
alter Monday.
In this picture Miss Mcdonald Is
presented as a young woman whose
life has been such as to make her
hate ministers and everything and
everybody connected with the minis
try, particularly the men and wo-
men missionaries who endeavor to
carry the light to the heather Of the
mysterious South Sea isles. The
heroine's discovery of her years of
wrong thinking, the new viewpoint
as to the work of the missionaries
and the development of the soul OF
the young girl and heart-stirring
romance, all combine to form an eX-
ceedingly unusual and interesting
story that is supplemented by some
scenes of geographic and photograph
ic novelty, and a melodramatic eli
max that is said to be more than
ordinarily full of thrills even for the
screen. The Infidel," an original
story by Charles A Logue, was di-
rected by James Young. Robert

GIRLS
PLEASE HIGHLY
Sparkling Program Offered
Americas Audience By Col
lege Glee Club

A sparkling program of music and
fun was presented Thursday night
at the Ry!aador theater by the Bre-
nau college girls Glee club. The
entertainment was colorful with
bright costumes and stage settings,
and as thoroughly delightful. A good
house witnessed the performance.
The program opened with cam
pus scene, with a quartet singing
-Four Little Maids From Schools, -
adapted from "The Mikado." A
number of school and college songs
followed, ending with "Brenau,
Alma Mater" at which the entire
company stood at attention before
the Brenau colors and a dozen or
more former Brenau girls in the audi
ence also stood.
Old Fashioned and Modern Dances
in costume constituted a pleasing
second number. Several grand opera
selections in costume revealed a half
dozen good solo voices. The Brenau
DuotSl5 was q Jabn DdIlu VI udlL d
dozen girls in black pajamas, Joe
Woolard, a fuzzy-haired "vamp,''
sang several blues songs which pleas
ed. "The Beauty Parlor Bullet" was
a novelty of dancing and pantomine
which revealed the transformation
of freckled country girl into a per-
feet product of the beauty shop. "a
Venetian Night Scene" with soft
moonlight effect and guitars strum-
ming, proved a soothing finale for
the program. The mandolin and gui-
tar club plays several times during
The program.
On the whole the girls offered a
more entertaining program than the
two male glee clubs that have visit
cd here this year, put .n&smuch as
music is speciality with Brenau,
and only a side line or pastime at
the mems state colleges, they might
be expected to put on more finish
ed program Of entertainment. Their
return here whenever they choose
will be welcomed.
