result was 'Erminie.' Even that

FOR STOLEN SUGAR
Claim Made That Louie Pole and
Restaurant Partners Received
Stolen Sugar Taken in Box
Car Robbery in 1920

An echo of the now more or less
famous sugar stealing case was
heard in justice court yesterday
when Warren & Hawkins, acting for
the Western Pacific railroad COM
pany, filed suit against Louie Pole
and John Doe Onn for $500, pay
ment alleged due for fifteen sacks
of sugar. The complaint recites
that Pole and Onn, the latter prob
ably mythical but included in the
complaint to take the place of Poles
unknown partners in the American
restaurant, on July 28, 1920, un-
lawfully converted to their own use
the fifteen sacks of sugar, and when
on September 1, 1920, payment for
the sugar was demanded by plaintiff
corporation, payment was refused.
Besides asking for judgment in the
sum of $500, with interest, reason
able attorneys fees are prayed for.
This suit is one outcome of q
boxcar robbery committed July 25,
1920, for which G. C. Hibler, a
former brakeman for the Western
Pacific here, was sentenced to two
years imprisonment on McNeil's
Island, federal prison, being taken
to Carson City to stand trial after
having been apprehended in Arkan-
sas. Stating at that time that he
did not intend being the goat for
others, Hibler confessed to his part
In the crime and implicated others,
but to date no other trials have been
held and it is not known to what
extent his confession involved other
men he claimed were implicated.
( 1T is said that Pole claims he paid
$50 sack for the sugar and refuses
to pay for it again.

THREE DAYS REQUIRED
FOR TRIP FROM RANCH

w. H. Cooper arrived in Winnie
mucca today from his ranch in
Pleasant Valley, IS miles south of
this city, making the trip horseback.
The trip in required three days, it
being impossible to negotiate the
roads with automobile. Mr.. Cooper
states that he believes much more
snow must have fallen in the vicin-
ity Of the ranch than fell in Winnie
mucca, and although not a great
deal is now apparent still there is
ten-mile stretch near Goldbanks
which is covered with two feet of
the beautiful. In several places it
has drifted to considerable depth.
Stock in the Pleasant Valley dis
trict is safe, Mr.. Cooper said,
though at this time suffering con-
siderably because Of becoming wet
during the daytime and cold at
night. So long as feeding is con-
tinued, however, the animals will
come through in good shape. In
places the grass is showing green
and is well started, Mr.. Cooper said,
and conditions generally impress
him to a degree that he believes the
coming season is going to be the
best for feeding stock ranchers have
seen for many years. A great vol
ume Of water is assured for general
ranching purposes.
Mr.. Cooper does not believe the
roads south will be open for auto
mobile travel for at least thirty
days, even If weather conditions
should improve.

LOVELOCK RANCHERS LOOK
FOR ABUNDANT CROP YEAR

District Judge j. A.. Callahan re-
turned from Lovelock last night,
where he went on court matters.
He did not expect to return before
next Monday when he left, but an
ticipated business was cleaned up
in quicker time than previously
thought necessary. Among other
matters attended to were the draw
ing of jury panel of 100 names
for a session of court to commence
in Lovelock March 6, and the hear
ing of one divorce case. Ranchers
in the Pershing county seat are very
hopeful for an unusually good sea-
son, Judge Callahan said, because
of favorable weather conditions, but
while expecting abundant crops do
not anticipate high prices for them.
They all seem to be optimistic as
to the future, however.

HoUSEHoLDERs DON'T KNOW
NUMBER OF FIRE DISTRICT

Following discussion at the last
meeting Of the city council concern
ing the efficiency of Winnemucca's s
fire alarm system, and delays that
have occurred in turning in fire
alarms, it was decided to find out
how the delays we're occasioned.
The matter was brought up when
decision was being made upon the
request of the Bell Telephone Com
pany to be absolved Of any possible
blame for delay in turning in fire
alarms, it being pointed out that the
company, while disliking the duty,
was willing to continue providing no
blame be attached if in future delay
should occur in turning in alarms.
So City Truck Driver Henry Berk
was sent out to canvass west Fourth
street residences, inquiring if the
householders knew what fire district
they resided in, that in case Of fire
they could promptly tell the phone
operator what number to designate
with the fire whistle. Five out Of
Fl called upon didn't know what
number to report and six didn't
have cards provided setting forth
the fire districts and their numbers
Berk points out that the test was
not all that it should have been, fol
residents along the street chosen
had been reminded Of the proper
signal when a fire occurred in the
district recently. He suggests, how.
ever, that all residents should secure
one of the cards and memorize the
number Of the district in which they
reside. If this is done, he thinks
less delay will occur in future when
fire occurs.
