.EST|MABLE LADY
. DIED HERE TODAY
Aged Mother of Mrs. Karl Mitchell
Died Here This Morning, With
Daughter Ill and Unable

Deceased was almost II years of
age and a native of Truro, Crom-
wells County, England, where she

other daughter, Mrs. F. E. Holman

A fact that is causing wide.
spread expression of sympathy in
this community is that Mrs. Mitchell
the daughter, is ill in the room
adjoining that in which Mrs. Mac
Trevethan passed away and had
been unable to attend the bedside
Of her mother, though knowing her
condition to be desperate. Other
relatives were summoned during

8 BODIES FOUND
NEAR GER[ACH
Discovery of Bodies of Woman and
Two Men at Trego Reported by
Western Pacific Workers,
Buried for Some Time

Futher complications of the Ger
ZACH murder mystery, which was
thought to have been cleared up
last Friday by the confession in
this city of Joe Romero that he
had murdered Vincent Martinez,
may result from the report that
three more bodies, those of one
woman and two men, found yes
terday morning at Trego, near Ger
lach, by section men at that place,
the bodies having been buried for
several months.
This report was brought to
this city by Western Pacific train
men, Elmer Campbell and Frank
Long, who were tagged at Trego
yesterday to receive a message, and
who took occasion to look over the
grave and what was left of the
bodies, which were is such a de-
composed condition that it was i'm
possible to distinguish race. Red
hair was one distinguishing feature
of the woman.
Pershing county officers were
notified Immediately after the dis
covery and it is expected that an
effort will be made Immediately to
learn particulars in the case.
1t is reported tina a sunken place
in the ground near the w. P. track
was the cause of section men be-
coming curious, and upon their dig
ging, discovered the bodies buried
under about four feet of dirt. So
far no reports of the three missing
parties can be found.

BOYS BATHING IN
FIRE RESERVOIR
Danger to Drinking Water Supply
and Drowning Danger Causes
Opening of Episcopal Pool
for Swimming Today

There were two developments yes
terday and today of Importance to
Winnemucca's yearly swimming
problem. One is that boys have
been swimming in the fire reservoir,
in constant danger of drowning, and
the other that the swimming pool in
the rear of Parish hall was opened
today for the season.
That the boys have been swim
ming in the fire reservoir became
known yesterday, when Chief of
Police X. G.. Lamb became aware of
the fact and took steps to stop the
practice, warning boys en- route to
the reservoir that they must not
swim there. The first reason for
this ultimatum is that water from
the fire reservoir is turned into the
city mains at noon every day, for
test purposes, and thus becomes
available as drinking water. The
second reason is that swimming
there is considered very dangerous
as the reservoir is deep and the
sides are steep, which would make ii
impossible for an exhausted swim
mer to climb out of the tank; and
it is said that if fire occurred and
the fire valve opened that any
youngster near the outlet of the
reservoir would be irresistabls
drawn to the bottom of the great
tank and of course drowned, if in.
deed the body should not be drawn
into the large pipe supplying tho
mains.
The bottom of the swimming poo
in the rear of Parish hall has been
sealed with tar preparation to pre-
vent leakage. and because this ma
terial melts in hot weather, if ex.
posed to the suns rays, it was de-
cided last night to fill the tank
swimming to commence after the
schools close. This fact becam,
known to the youngsters, in the
mysterious fashion that all sucf
good news becomes available, ant
Rev. j. S. Talbot, who has charge
of the pool, was so beseiged with
requests for immediate swimming
that he at last relented, with the
result that about thirty children
were enjoying the fun this after
noon.
Definite hours that the pool will
be open have not yet been set, il
being said that much will depend
upon when Rev. Talbot will be able
to be here to watch the young swim
mers, he so far not having beer
able to make satisfactory arrange
ments for the services of man to
take charge of the pool.
Further announcement concern
ing the swimming pool and hour.
which it will be open will be made
in subsequent issues of this news
paper.

STILL IS
TAKEN BY BRADY
Federal Warrant Out for Bill Ayers
(Not the Editor), Who Made
His Getaway; Jack of
Spades" L. in Jail

Another still, this one different
from any of it's predecessors, was
added to Sheriff Brady's collection
in an upstairs cell at the local Jail
Sunday when he, accompanied by
officer Perry Boyd, returned from
the DEMO section with this new ad-
dition, and with Frank Groves, more
commonly known as the "Jack of
Spades" in his custody.
The still, which was made of tin
and copper is a rude affair and was
used as a condenser with no coils.
1t has a capacity of from thirty to
forty gallons and is capable of
turning out between five and six
gallons per day. 1t was found at
the Little Wilder ranch on Little
Wilder creek a short distance from
the Alberson hotel and is alledged
by' Brady to belong to Bill Ayers,
homesteader in that vicinity. Be-
sides the still a quantity of moon
shine was secured at this place and
brought to Winnemucca for evil
dence. Sheriff Brady has secured a
federal warrant for Ayers and it is
expected by officers that he will be
numbered among the missing in
the Nevada census rolls for some
time to come, but in case he does
decide to stick around it will most
likely be in the vicinity of the
city bastile.' At the time the still
was taken Ayers could not be
found, and it is believed by the
two officers that on account of the
roads being so steep in that vicinity
and the fact that they had to run
the sheriff's car in low gear most of
the distance to the house, that the
owner of the paraphenalia had
taken the warning and made his get
away.
Groves was arrested on charge
of violating the federal liquor law
at his soft drink parlor located in
the Alberson hotel at the village
of Pueblo, short distance from
Denio, Brady having a search war
rant for that place. He was taken
into custody after the place had
been searched by Officers Brady
and Boyd and bottle containing a
quantity of moonshine had been dis
covered hidden behind the bar. This
Groves declared must have been
there for years and that it was old,
old stuff, but through its resem-
blance to the late products of anna
teur manufacturers of home brew,
Sheriff Brady couldn't be convinced
that it wasn't just straight moon
shine.
Now that the story has gone this
far, it may be well to say word
of defense of W. H. Ayres, owner
and editor of The Silver State,
whose name so greatly resembles
that of the alleged owner and opera
tor of the still. The least that can
be said is that they are of no rela-
ton, so far as can be learned.

NEPOT|sM LAW IS
INVOKED LOCALLY
Protest Filed Against Payment of
Wages to Relatives of County
Commissioners Filed by
A. F. Trousdale

Residents of this community dis
played considerable interest and
discussion ran high on the streets
yesterday when it became known
by word of mouth, that protest
had been filed with County Auditor
Germain by former County Commits
sioner A. F. Trousdale against pay
ment of wage claims against Hum
boldt county by. C. w. Choate, ].
H. Bradshaw and Vernon Bell, this
dction being taken under what is
know as the nepotism law, prohibi-
ting the employment of relatives
by county, city and state officials.
The claim is made in the protest by
Mr.. Trousdale that the three men
above named are related to Commits
sioner w. J. Bell of this city and
Commissioner w. C. Bradshaw of
Paradise Valley.
The first inkling of the matter
came when it was learned from
west-state newspapers that District
Attorney L. G. Wilson of this
county had requested an opinion
from the state attorney generals
office as to the operation and con-
stitutionality of the nepotism law,
the opinion being printed in the
issue of this newspaper of last
Saturday. In this opinion Deputy
Attorney General Robert Richards
stated that this statute should be
strictly construed, and that it is not
only civil but criminal in nature.
Violation of the law by any city,
county or state officers is punishable
by maximum Jail sentence of
six months or maximum fine of
$1,000, or both such fine and i'm
prisonment.
The protest filed by Mr.. Trous-
dale was made May 81, but became
public yesterday when the COM
missioners held their monthly meet
ing. The immediate effect of the
protest was the laying over by the
highway board of the bills of j. H.
Bradshaw and Vernon Bell, for
road work performed. These will
probably come up for action again
at later meeting
The bill of C. w. Choate, how
ever, for the sum of $138 for cal
cimining and vanishing work at the
county hospital, came before the
county commissioners yesterday and
was allowed by them and passed to
Auditor Germain for payment. The
next action in this matter. in view
of the protest, is up to Auditor
German. When asked today if he
would allow the bill he stated he
would first confer with District
Attorney Wilson concerning the
matter. He may then allow the bill
and pay it, or he may refuse to
issue a warrant to Mr.. Choate, in
which case the matter is again re-
ferred to the county commissioners,
who may order it paid over the
auditors refusal if they so desire.
Regarding the case, District At
torney Wilson today said that he
had been of opinion that the law
applies only to individual officers
of the county and not to boards, but
that in view Of the opinion from the
