ANOTHER ALLEGED
WH|SKEY VENDOR
VIM. Lowe of Rose Creek Arrested
for Transporting Illicit Liquor
and Held for Action of
Federal Grand Jury

Another alleged bootlegger was
taken into custody Monday after
noon when Chief of Police Lamb
and Nightwatchman Perry Boyd
arrested VIM. Lowe of Rose Greek,
at the Richards ranch about three
miles south of town.
The officers seeing a cloud of
dust approaching from that direc-
tion anticipated the transportation
of mooshine and went out to give
the transporters a welcome, if such
should be the case. They state that
they reached the Richards ranch
just as the Ford driven by Lowe
was turning into the gate, and that
when Lowe saw them coming he
stepped on the gass and in an effort
to make get away ran into the
fence back Of the barn, breaking a
lot of eggs which were stored in the
car. Lamb states that Mrs. Lowe
climbed out as soon as the car
stopped, and grabbing a demijohn
nearly full of liquor, ran to the
water tank and hurled it into the
water. She was followed to the
tank by Lamb, who rescued the
evidence a few seconds later.
Lowe and demijohn, which con-
tanned about two quarts of liquor,
were brought to this city and a
hearing was held yesterday after
noon before United States Commits
sioner S. M. Bonnifield and Deputy
United States Marshal ]. E. Muller
of Carson City.
Lowe was bound over to the
federal grand jury and was re-
leased on $1,000 bond. He pleaded
not guilty, but refused to give fur
ther testimony. Attorney L. o.
Hawkins represented the defendant.

A DOWN-AND-OUT MAN
AND HIS FRIEND

At the Carlson chapel tonight,
Mrs. Hostetter in her sermon will
present in three word-pictures, "a
Down-and-Out Man and His Friend" j"
The central thought of the message
will be that religion is not the
worlds first need.
In her address on the Second
Coming of Christ the evangelist said
that Bible prophecy is History Pre-
written; and that one of the in
contestible proofs of the superna-
tural origin and the Divine Author
ity of the Bible is the literal fulfill
ment of more than 600 prophecies,
hundreds of which were uttered and
recorded 1900 years before the
events they predicted.
Tomorrow night the subject will
be: Making Your Last Will and
Testament" Sunday night will close
the series of special meetings.
One of the special numbers in
song tonight will be a duet by Mrs.
Will Townsend and Mrs. Hostetter.

NARCOTIC CASES
HEARD HERE TODAY
Freeman Pleaded Guilty That He
May Enter Penitentiary for
Cure of Habit, While Tom
Lung Claims Mistake

Preliminary hearings Of the cases
against Wm.. Freeman, who was
taken into custody at DEMO several
days ago by Sheriff George Brady
on charge of violating the federal
narcotic laws, and Tom Lung, a
Chinaman arrested here as he was
getting off the train, on a similar
charge, were held before U. S. Com
missioner S. M. Bonniefield this
morning.
In the case of Freeman, who is
charged with using the mails for
carrying on the drug traffic and on
whose person a small amount of
opium was found, plea of guilty
was entered and he was held to
answer in the federal court, where
he will receive sentence. Bail was
set at $4,000, but not being provided
Freeman is held in Jail by the au-
thorities. 1t is the statement of
Deputy Sheriff Chas. Muller that
Freeman is anxious to go to the
federal prison for term sufficient
ly long to insure a cure of his drug
habit.
Tom Lung, already out OH $4,000
bail after being indicted by the fed
ral grand jury at Carson City, en-
tered a plea of not guilty this morn
ing to a charge of having opium
and yen shee in his possession,
wrapped for mailing to supposed
customers, found at the time Of his
most recent arrest. He was again
bound over to the federal grand
jury by Commissioner Bonnifield
this morning and bail set at an ad-
ditional $4,000. There are now
three separate cases against Tom
Lung for selling narcotic drugs.
Deputy United States Marshal
J. E. Muller is here from Carson
City and unless bail is furnished,
which appears unlikely, he will take
both men to Carson tonight.

COMEDY-DRAMA PICTURE
TOMORROW NIGHT

"Does she dance, does she twist,
does she do those little things you
can't resist? I'll say she doesp'
You would think that old popular
air was inspired by the heroine Of
"The Dangerous Little Demon" the
Universal special attraction at the
American theatre tomorrow night.
For the "demon" is a most fascinat-
ing creature as portrayed by the
star, Marie Provost, and the way she
does things causes panic in the
hearts of all masculine bystanders.
Dancing divinely and somewhat
shockingly, she causes even the
most blase of her suitors to feel a
thrill. In fact, he gets such a kick
out of it he calls her down!

DECORATION DAY
WELL OBSERVED
Supreme Justice Paid Tribute to
Departed Heroes Tuesday and
Other Fitting Activities
Were Carried out

Memorial services conducted in
the Nixon Opera house Tuesday
morning, with Judge E. A. Ducker
of Reno as principal speaker and
with L. o. Hawkins presiding, were
impressive and fitting to the oc-
casion, memory of those having
"gone west" during the war being
brought back more forcibly by the
ex-soldiers in uniform forming a
background to the speakers on the
stage.
Judge Ducker gave a short but
impressive address, dwelling upon
the national emancipation of the
American people through the re-
suits of the civil war, in which so
many brave and loyal soldiers from
both sides gave up their lives for
what they believed to be the right,
emphasizing the fact that now the
flowers bloom upon the graves of
both alike. He pointed out that it
was through the sacrifices of these
men Ind boys that we, the Ameri-
can people, have enjoyed the privi-
leges of free nation for so many
years. He paid the highest COM
pliments to the boys of the late
world war who went across and
those who were in training camps,
not that they went to preserve the
liberties of this country alone, but
they went across to fight, many to
give their lives, that others should
not be deprived of the liberties for
which they, like ourselves had fought
SO bitterly. Dwelling upon the
American soldiers who gave their
lives in France, he declared that
those boys needed no flowers from
our hands, in view of the
fact that those graves marked
by white crosses viii always
be guarded and given as much low
ing care by the French people and
other allies as We could give them
ourselves, stating that their love
and appreciation for the sacrifices
of "our boys" will never die.
The brief talk given by L. o.
Hawkins contained many appropri-
ate remarks and words of conso-
lation to those who had lost loved
ones in the war, as well as those
who had lost through other causes.
The solo sung by Mrs. Don Cooper
and music by the orchestra were
particularly enjoyed.
The march to the cemetery fol-
lowed Immediately after the ex-
ercises, where Professor ]. D. Scott
delivered the Gettysburg address
and a firing squad fred three
salutes. The flag was raised to the
top of the flagpole and graves of
soldiers Of the world war were
decorated with flowers and a flag
by members of the American
Legion.

"5ILLIoNS," GREAT STARS LAT

TURE,

Billions" is the highly interesting
title OF Nazimova's newest cinema pro-
duction, and in this drama from
French sources the brilliant actress
Will be seen as the feature attraction
at the Isis Theatre today. Ad-
vance reports on the picture declare it
to be the best that Nazimova has ever
done, notably from the standpoint of
the great variety of emotional express
sion it permits to the gifted Russian
star and the lavsihness OF it's pictorial
background.
AS may be surmised, the plot of
Billions" revolves about people of
wealth and high position. Nazimova's
role is that of a Russian Princess, who
is widowed when the BoIsheviki blow
her titled husband to atoms with
bomb. She has been estranged from
the Prince and is in New York, living
in the heart Of the uptown art colony
of the metropolis, her home the meet
ing place for the cleverest members of
artistic Bohemia, when the story
opens.
The Princess has fallen in love with
a poet whom she has never seen, al
though her soul has responded to his
verses. One day the poet is suddenly
lifted from obscurity and the disarray
