younger Cogswell, a chemistry stu
dent, has been employed until he
could complete his university course
A defective steering wheel is blamed
for the accident.

Frank Cogswell and John Truitt
who used to work in the Winemuccs
garage, were partners in q garage
at Mt. Eden, California, but Frank
retired from active connection with
the garage a short time ago to
finish his studies in the university
To his many friends here news Of
his death will come as a great
shock and to the bereaved parents
of Frank Cogswell their heartfelt
sympathy is extended.

Ducks and Drakes-
Attorney General Fowler has
ruled that the bag limit for ducks
fixed at twenty-five by the federal
government operates to change the
bag limit fixed by the Nevada law,
which was first set by the legis-

federal migratory bird law, at fif-
teen ducks.
Hunters throughout the state are
pleased over the ruling, which al
most doubles the bag limit and re-
moves all questions of doubt rela-
