BOY 8 YEARS OLD
BROWNS IN CANAL

Deputy Sheriff johnson received a
telephone call Tuesday morning
from G. w. Peterson, living upon
the L. L. Hudson dairy ranch, south
Of Fallon, to the effect that their in
FAINT son, three years Of age, could
not be found. The family feared
he had fallen into the canal which
runs through the farm in the rear
Of the house. Mr.. johnson believing
it would be necessary to drag the
canal summoned Mr.. Snyder and
drove Immediately to the ranch.
Upon arriving there he learned the
body of the child had been found
by a neighbor boy, about a quarter
Of a mile from the house. The boy
was walking along the ditch when
he discovered the little body hang
ing on the edge Of the second drop
to the canal. The only way the ac-
cident can be accounted for is that
the little fellow in going across the
bridge in an effort to reach his
father, who had gone to the barn,
slipped and fell into the canal un-
seen.

JURY C0Nv|CTs
DANCE HALL GIRL

Florence Reese, q Tonopah dance
hall girl, was yesterday afternoon
found guilty Of violation Of the ma
tional prohibition law, the jury rec
ommending that she be fined small
sum. Judge Harrington stated that
he would consider the request. The
fined imposed was $500, which was
paid, although the woman is re-
ported to have complained bitterly
about the amount after she left the
court room. The defense in the
trial Of the case stressed the con-
tention that the room in which the
liquor was seized was the home and
not the place of business of the de-
PENDANT. Also, it was claimed that
she had no knowledge of the pres
ence of the bottle of booze in the
pocket Of a mans coat which had
been hanging on the wall a long
time. According to her story the
woman paid no attention to the
empty whiskey bottle or two in
her dresser.-Carson News.

.FERN[EY HAY CROP
IS NOW SOLD OUT

neutrality-suspicious. of hay
from the Fernley district this year
were 486 cars, compared to 204
cars shipped last year. Fifteen or
twenty more cars will be shipped
this month. The large increase is
due to the shipment Of the balance
of the crop held over from 1920.
The remaining fifteen or twenty
cars will dispose Of the 1921 crop,
the hay not bailed and shipped be-
ing fed at Fernley.
Livestock shipments this year
were Ill cars Of sheep and cattle
received and 178 shipped out, an in
crease Of 70 cars at Fernley. This
increase is attributed to the fact
that many cattle were driven in
from the range to Fernley for
finishing.
Hay shipments will probably not
be as heavy this year as in the past,
as approximately twenty per cent
of the alfalfa lands here have been
plowed up and planted to potatoes,
cantaloupes, and other diversified
crops. Prospects are good this year
for better crops than in the last two
years, due to the water supply as
sured by heavy SHOWS in the noun
tains this winter.
