DIPHTHERIA RAMPANT ON
McDERMITT RESERVATION

Diphtheria is epidemic among the
Indians on the McDermitt reserva-
tion, about seven miles east of the
town of McDermitt, in the northern
part of this county, and word re-
ceived in this city today by county
officials conveys the information
that two deaths have occurred
among Uncle Sans wards during
late days. Eight cases Of the dis
ease in the most malignant form are
being treated by the reservation
physician, DIR. j. T. Rees, and steps
to establish rigid quarantine have
been taken by the county health
officer, by direction of the state
board of health.
The existence of diphtheria among
the Indians in the McDermitt neigh
borhood is not taken to mean that
danger threatens the white popula-
tion in the same neighborhood, for
prompt steps have been taken to
isolate the stricken aboriginal popu-
lation and state and county authori-
ties are certain that the malady will
be confined to the reservation area.

RE D RICHARDS
TRIAL ON TODAY
Case Will Probably Go to the Jury
Some Time This Evening; Some
Interesting Phases of the
Fight to Down Booze

District court has been occupied
throughout yesterday and today
with the cases wherein R. L. (Red)
Richards is charged with violation
of the states prohibition laws. The
following are the jurors who will
pass upon the guilt or innocence Of
the accused: L. L. Boskovich, Thos.
Major, Thomas W. Dooley, w. F.
Pearce, John H. Jose, Frank B.
Silve, Frank Danglemaier, George
X. Woods, w. O. Baber Jr., F. L.
Kelsey, Charles Boyd, Lawrence
Miller.
The same questions were pro-
pounded by District Attorney L. G.
Wilson and his associate counsel,
Attorney T. E. Powell, in the ex-
aminations of prospective jurors as
governed in the Williams-E -Eckloff
trial, considerable comment arising
from the general negative reply
from the trial jurors selected" by
the board of county commissioners
at the January meeting of the coun-
ty's executive heads, to the question,
"Did you vote for the state prohi-
bition law when it was referred to
the states voters?" It is asserted
that more than three-fourths Of the
jury panel replied mo" to this ques-
tion. Some contrasts have been
made of this condition with the fact
that Humboldt county voted sub
stantially in favor Of state prohibi-
tion when the question was sub
mitted and degree of wonderment
has been indulged whether there has
been a general exodus or hegira Of
the voters in this county who de-
clared at the polls for sobriety, law
and order, or whether the county
commissioners, through an inadvert-
ence or mental lapse failed to "se-
lect" trial jurors from this class Of
citizenship. Really, it's good, isn't
it, Mr.. Thinking Reader? after the
fashion of the aspiring actor on
amateur night who, too, was good,
because he was so utterly rotten.
Today has been largely consumed
in the presentation of evidence un-
der the direction Of opposing coun-
sci. Attorneys L. G. Campbell and
c. E. Robins represent the defense.
Witnesses for the prosecution
were Sheriff G. w. Brady, Deputy
Sheriff C. W. Muller, Chief Of Po-
lice X. G. Lamb, Night Policeman
Perry Boyd and Jess Hoxsey. w. G..
Ducker, former deputy sheriff, tes-
tilted for the defense in rebuttal
Of the evidence given by Hoxsey.
Others who testified for the defense
are: j. L. Richards, defendant;

The Weather

perature yesterday was 26 above

morning was % above, which means

One of the stellar interscholastic
athletic events of the season will
occur in this city on the evening of
February II, when the Churchill
county high school quintets, recruit
ed from both sexes in the alfalfa
town, will oppose the boys and
girls teams on the Winnemucca
high school court. The girls at the
local school will remember that they
lost the state championship to the
Fallon girls in the final game in
last years tournament, held in Reno,
and this solely because they had to
pass through several gruelling con-
tests on the day when the final and
deciding game was played with the
fresh Fallon girls team.

If Winnemucca's public school

something for school teachers to
carry on their regular work and
assemble delicacies, but this is what
the members of the teaching staff

F|RE|NEN TO GIVE
SPLENDID AFFAIR
Visits of Fire Prevention Officials
IL to Be Made One of the Big
Occasions in the History
of This Community

Winnemucca's live organization
of volunteer firemen is leaving moth
ing undone that will tend to make
the visits of Jay w. Stevens of San
Francisco, chief of the Pacific Coast
Fire Prevention Bureau, and Fire
Chief Hawcroft, head of Reno's de-
partment, memorable events. The
residents of this city are unusually
proud of the organization that fights
their fires in and out of season and
evidence of this appreciation is con-
tanned in the cooperation now being
afforded, calculated to make the af-
fairs that will be given in honor of
the visitors events that will be dis
tinctly celebrative of the occasion.
Winnemucca' fire chief, Guy As
bury, and others of the local de-
partment, will accompany Mr.. Stew
ems and Mr.. Hawcroft on a round
of the local schools. Talks will be
made by the visitors to the student
bodies, to whom emphasis is to be
made on the Importance of prop
erty conservation, and appeal is to
be made to juvenile minds in an
elemental manner of how little folks
can assist in keeping down fires.

evening the visitors will be guests
of honor at a public meeting that
will be held in the chamber of COM
merce rooms and general welcome
is to be extended to Mr.. Stevens
and Mr.. Hawcroft. Mr.. Stevens
will be the principal speaker of the
evening and he is a splendidly dy-
manic individual who interests in
the discussion of any topic. Natu-
rally he is heard at his best when
dealing with subjects related to fire
prevention and the members of the
volunteer department are striving
for a fully representative crowd at
the public meetings.
The banquet, now come to be an
annual feature provided by the Win
nemucca fire department, will be
held at Winneva hall next Saturday,
and this, too, is to be of surpass-
ing nature. Guests of honor will
include Mr.. Stevens, Mr.. Hawcroft,
Mayor T. A. Brandon, Councilmen
Hoskins, Akin, and Sites, Chief of
Police X. G. Lamb, Sheriff G. w.
Brady, Fire Warden Joe Rougon,
T. Grady, sec. chamber of commerce
f. II. Gilman, superintendent of the
Winnemucca Water system, and rep
resentatives of the Winnemucca
press. The membership of the local
fire department that will be present
to a man, barring illness, is: Guy
