HARRIS TO SERVE FROM
ONE TO TWO YEARS

John Halvsiotis, also known as
Harris, who formerly operated a
restraint on Commercial Row, con-
victed last week of assulting his
wife, Thelma, with a deadly weapon
at Second and West streets, March
IL, was sentenced by Judge Moran
late yesterday afternoon to a term
Of from one to two years in States
prison.
Halvatsiotis was sentenced after
his attorney, Augustus Tilden, his
council, made an earnest plea for
clemency, this having been upon
the jury's recommendation that the
court take into consideration the
defendants previous good character.
Plans were being made to take Hal
vatsiotis to the penintentiary at
Carson City today.
During the trial the defense
sought to show that the shooting
was provoked by the victims con-
duct. Halvatsiotis was passing a
theatre when he observed his wife
emerging from the place with an
other man. A few minutes later
and after her escort left her, Mrs,
Halvatsiotis was accosted by her
husband on the stree corner. Ac-
cording to the evidence, Halvatsiotis
struck his wife across the head with
his revolver and as she started to
flee, he began shooting, three of
the four bullets fired by him taking
effect in her body. As he fled from
the scene, Halvatsiotis tossed his
revolver over fence into vacant
lot. An hour later when he was
arrested he told the police where
they could find the gun and it was
introduced as an exhibit in the
case.

WILL RAISE MONEY FOR
SPARKS TRACK FIELD

The first gun in the campaign of
the Sparks Progressive Club to raise
$500 to complete the track for the
Sparks high school was fired today
when tickets to a dance to be given
Friday evening were distributed over
the city, says the Sparks Tribune.
The Sparks high school has never
had track and athletic field. Re-
Gently the board of trustees pur-
chased the lots in the rear Of the
grammar school building and now
have sufficient ground to construct
frst-class field. 1t will cost over
5000 to put the field in condition.
The trustees have agreed to put up
$500 of this sum if the Progressive
Business Club agrees to sponsor the
raising of the additional money.
The dance will be the first of Sc
ries of entertainments which will
continue until the sum is raised.

ELKO WANTS TRACK MEETS
TO BE HELD IN wINNEMUccA

Winnemucca and Elko high
schools both triumphed over the
Reno high school in the track meet
held last Saturday at the Humboldt
county seat. For the first time in
many years the big west state insti-
tuition was forced to take a back
seat and there mournfully contem-
plate the stellar success Of its two
smaller rivals.
The incident discloses the fact
that Reno can be beaten by the
right kind of spirit and the right
kind of athletic supervision despite
her distinct advantage in the number
of students from which to choose
her contestants. The fact that upon
her first trip away from home she
was decisively beaten seems to indi-
cate that perhaps the fact of her
playing upon her own sandhill made
difference in the outcome.
This part of the state will in the
future feel better satisfied to have
its youth contest in meets held in
Winnemucca. The long trip to Reno
initiates against efficiency on the
athletic field, while for some time
dissatisfaction over the method of
judging track, field and floor events
held in the riverside metropolis has
taken some of the spirit from our
boys.
At this writing the school and its
home city are jubilant over their
success. They have proved that un-
der proper conditions and with eff
cient coaching they are the equal
of any athletes in the state and with
another year of as consistent train
ing Elko high will bring home the
laurels.-Elko Independent.

ASSESSMENT WORK
LIMIT IS JUNE |

WASHINGTON, D. c., May H.
As queries continue to come from
the West regarding Interpretation
of the law regulating annual assess
ment work on mining claims, the
latest opinion on this matter from
the General Land Office, written by
Commissioner Spry, will be of in
terest. The Commissioner says, in
letter written May IL:
''The act of December 81, 1920
al Stat. 1089), extended the
period ending December 81, 1920,
to June 30,1921, but expressly
provided
"'That this act shall not in any
way change or modify the re-
quirements of existing law as to
work to be done or improvements
made upon mining claims for the
year 1921
According to this act, the period
for 1920 covered eighteen months,
from January 1, 1920, to June 80,
1921, overlapping six months of
the 1921 period; the act of August
"a, 1921 (the Hayden bill with the
Arentz amendment), also fixed an
18-months period within which to
perform the work for 1921, by ex-
tending the period for 1921 to noon
of July 1, 1922; and, in my opinion,
if the annual assessment work for
1921 was performed within that
year, but prior to July l, 1922, the
next annual period within which to
perform the work for 1922 would
begin at noon of July 1, 1922, and
end at noon July 1, 1928. You are
to understand that this is merely an
opinion"

SPARKS BOOSTING
FOR W|NNEMUCCA

: That the work of Professor J. D.
Scott and all those who assisted him
in making the track meet here the
success that it was is not to be al
lowed to go unrecognized is gath
cred from state newspapers. The
Sparks Tribune says:
A little hard luck visited the
Sparks high school track team in
the Winnemucca meet, and they did
not score up as expected. But the
returning members of are loud in
their praise of their treatment in
Winnemucca, and they say that they
lost to a splendid aggregation of
high school athletes.
The first bit of bad luck was the
fact that Downey pulled muscle in
the semi-finals of the 100-yard dash
in the morning. About ten feet in
front of the tape of the semi-final
he went bad. He managed to quail
ify, but was unable to enter any of
the finals in the afternoon. Downey
was looked upon to win several
points.
In the relay, Watson lost his
spikes after running 100 yards but
finished his heat, though the bot
tom of his foot was badly cut from
running bare-footed on the cinders.
He made a game race and if mis-
fortune had not visited him the
chances are better than even that
Sparks would have annexed the
relay.
The prettiest event of the day
was the mile race, and in this race
Legarza Of Winnemucca and Baker
of this city fought every yard of
the 1850 they ran for supremacy.
Neck and neck they fought their
way around the track and neither
gave an inch until the final squirt, in
which the stronger and older Winnie
mucca man was able to pull away
from Baker a very few feet. Peters
finished a close third.
The Sparks athletes, and those
who accompanied them to the track
meet held at Winnemucca last Sat-
urday, are loud in their praise of
the treatment they received at the
hands of the students, school
authorities and the people Of Win
nemucca generally. They state that
nothing was left undone that could
be done to add to their comfort
and entertainment, and the feeling
of cordially that prevailed was
truly wonderful thing.
From the time that they landed in
Winnemucca they were taken in
hand. The athletes were housed in
private residences in the city and
regular training table meals were
served to them at the high school.
Their entertainment was provided
and shows, dances, auto rides, and
everything else.
: They also state that the treatment
was impartial and that they have
nothing but words Of highest praise
for Winemucca and her people.
The hospitality of the Winemucca
people is proverbial, but to receive
such splendid praise from these
young men and women is sufficient
to cause Winemucca to take more
than a pardonable pride in her
achievement. And her fairness, her
kindness and her hospitality will not
be unrewarded for the word will
60 to every portion of the state that
Winnemucca is a great, big, OPEN
hearted city that knows full well
how to treat the stranger within her
gates and this reputation is one
that any city may be proud Of.
