PEOPLE in
GOOD ACTS OF
VAUDEVILLE

A packed house greeted the vaude.
vile performers at Rex theatre given
Tuesday night in connection with the
regular picture show. Mrs. Sidney
Dack, who has class in elocution
prevailed upon her students to give
short program and the entertain
ment was Augmented by severa, mum
bers by groun-ups.
Little Airline Springmeyer showed
splendid training and unusual ability
in her amusing act which was en-
joyed to the limit by the audience.
James Stout, high school student,
dressed as girl direct from the
Emerald Isle, told of "her" trying
experiences endeavoring to please
a number Of American housewives In
the capacity Of culinary expert. His
acting was clever and few knew who
the performer was until he removed
his wig at the end of the act.
Gwenivere Stout, who is blessed
with a wonderfully sweet voice. sang
several songs and was heartily ap-
plauded by an appreciative audience.
Kenneth Elges, also one of Mrs.
Dack's pupils, addressed the boys in
an appeal to wear a sunshine coat
and bring happiness and sunshine in
to the 'lives of others. He told his
playmates that to spread little hap
piness, to give smile in return for
frown, was quite easy to do If they
would only try.
Kenneth did not appear to be re-
citing a piece from memory. but
through forceful expression made one
feel that he was speaking from the
depths of his own heart. Remember
ing the campaign speakers of a few
months ago and how they labored to
express themselves even in mono-
tones, Kenneth Elges would have been
shining mark on the same stage
with those speakers.
Several Scotch songs by ]. Fisher
were we'll received as were the song
numbers by Mrs. Perry.
While the pictures program was
being given, the Rex theare radio
set was tuned in to a boardcastine
station at Los Angeles and different
numbers were head distinctly in all
parts of the house.

WOULD DIVIDE
NYECOUNTY

The map of Nevada, like the map
of Europe, is always being changed.
Continued wars in Europe change
boundary lines faster that map
makers can revise them and keep the
geographical lines up-to-date. In Ne
vada, no sooner do the people begin
to think they know their own state,
when along comes the legislature and
lops of a parcel of one county and
hands it another.
In a bill introduced by Senator
Scott, it is proposed to annex to
Lincoln county that portion of Nye
lying and being souteast of the
Grant and Quinn canyon mountain
ranges. The bill provides that Lin
coin county shall pay Nye county
the sum of $4,000 as balm and a mat
ter of paying the annexed portions
public debt Senator Scott contends
that geographically the district in
question should be made portion of
Lincoln while the delegation from
Nye county is strenuously opposing
the stand of Senator Scott.

DOUGLAS DIVIDE
HONORS WITH
YERINCTON

In the basketball game played here
last Saturday night the Douglas boys
defeated the Yerington team by a
score of 3S to 25, while the Yerington
girls we're victorious over the Doug
las players by a score Of 81 to 16.
The Douglas girls put up a game
battle against the visiting team but
were unable get in the lead. At the
end of the first half the score stood
to In favor of Yerington and while
in was anybody's game up to the very
last, Yerington nosed out by a mar
row margin.
The Yerington team was composed
Of Fern Dillon and Elenore Buchan-
an forwards; Beatrice Thrakiill and
Helen Smith, centers. Elizabeth Lit
tell and Mabel Martin, guards.
The Douglas players were Mildred
Jepsen and Alma Marquat, forwards; /;

The boys game was one of the fast
est seen on the local court In some
time and while defeated Yerington
showed up strong and the players
showed exceptional skill in passing.
The Douglas boys showed improve
ment in team work which probably
accounts for their victory over the
visitors.
Following is the line up of both
teams:
Yerington-Martin, Baldwin and
Jepersen. forwards; Leavitt, center;
Mcculla, Reymers and Whitacre,
guards.
Douglas-Tom Raycraft. and Edgar

BROWNS MEN LEADING
POOL TOURNAMENT

The Browns have a considerable
edge of the Clevelands' in the pool
turnament now being waged at the
Legion club rooms and while a few
have the audacity to declare that the
Browns have everything their own
way with a free trip to a groaning
banquet table at the expenses of
Grover Krick's men, others declare
that there are some dark horses to
be harnessed to the end of a cue on
the now unfortunate side, and oh,
my what they are going to do can
only be told truthfully by Grover
Krick.
Brown and his men are already de-
manding turkey and all the trim
mings, while those on the slow team
and who were on the losing side a
year ago. view things from a different
angle and approve of a more frugal
spread-say. for instance, "hot dogs"
or cheese and crackers.
A compromise will undoubtedly be
brought about through the diplomacy
and tact, which the president of the
club is richly endowed, and chicken,
1t Is hoped will be on the bill of
fare.
Everybody is telling everybody else
Just what they are going to do to
their opponents and as a result the
club room is full of blue smoke and
varied brand of hot air every even

DEFEATS
NELSON in A
GOOD BOUT

In the main event of wrestling
match held at Rex theatre Wednes-
day night Sylvius Ramelli succeeded
in getting two falls from stranger
Lewis in one of the best bouts ever
ever witnessed In Gardnerville.
Lewis secured the first fall with
a double arm scissors In 36 minutes,
and 1t appeared that while Nelson
lacked the weight of his opponent, he
had slight edge on the contest
because of his skill. Resting for five
minutes, the men again went to the
center OF the mat and in Is minutes
Ramelli downed his man In Is
minutes. The next fall was secured
by Ramelli In 26 minutes with an
arm-lock and the Nevada boy was de-
clared the winner
During the contest there were many
exciting moments and the cleverness
of the wrestlers in getting out Of
tight places brought forth bursts of
applause from the spectators.
The winner of the bout outweighs
his opponent by some twenty pounds,
but the latter, who happens to be a
Dane. proved that we'll developed
muscle does not always signify super
strength. 1t required all the strength
that Ramelli could command to pin
his wirey opponent to the mat, the
latter at all time taking advantage Of
leverage holds.
During the match E. J. Phillips,
referee and also the promoter OF the
bout, announced that the winner OF
the contest had been challenged by
Connie Ramanoff, champion of the
Pacific Coast. After Ramelli Ind
won the bout with Lewis, he express
ed his willingness to meet the clever
Ramanoff in Gardnerville on Febru-
airy 14th. On the same date "Strangl-
er" Nelson will meet some wrestler
and the event of top-notchers will
give the fans OF this section a treat
not often known to small communi-
ties.
Two preliminaries preceded the
main event in which Quinlen Ray
craft secured fall from Sam Imelli
in s minutes. The second event was
between Pedro Topaz OF Minden and
l.. Hawkins Of Gardnervllle. In their
first clash Hawkins received bump
on the nose that started the claret
flowing. However, he pinned his man
to the mat and after the flow from
his nose had stopped. he went after
his opponent and placed his two
shoulders to the canvass In four
minutes after time had been called
Ramelli, after winning. from Nelson
declared that he was confident that
he was the better man.
Before leaving for Reno yesterday
Nelson accounted for his defeat from
the fact that he was blinded by an
accidental jab In the eye which he
received just before the last fall and
that he was forced to quit.

FIRE COMPA
ELECTS new
OFFICERS


neryille Fire department held Mon.
day evening the matter of accepting
the new auto fire pump came up for
consideration, and a committee CON-
posed of Chas. w Brown, F. r.
Howard and e. Christensen, reported
that the new equipment would cost
considerable more that the first esti-
mate which was $4,000. They an
nounced that the Helberg Motor Sales
company, builders Of the apparatus,
had stipulated in signed agreement
that the total cost would not exceed
$5,350.0O. This includes the building
Of a suitable body but does not in
clude painting.
The sense Of the meeting seemed to
be that while the equipment was ex-
ceeding the first estimate of cost, 1t
had been proven that 1t was highly
efficient and was undoubtedly worth
even more that the final prices which
has been agreed upon and the report
Of the committee was approved and
final work ordered done.
An informal discussion was carried
on relative to the sewer system now
being installed, and while under the
law the board of county commission
ers have supreme command of the
situation. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion Of those present, that mas
much as the taxpayers of Gardner
vile. through the fire department,
had been responsible for bringing
about the bond issue, that the COM
mittee representing the fire depart
ment, consisting OF George A Mon
trose, C. F. w. Dangberg and P. K
Rahbeck, should be advised to some
extent at least by the board of county
commissioners relative to the work
In that the taxpayers of Gardnerville
be given opportunity to express their
views and possibly be able to give
cooperation in any obstacles that
may arise.
Election of officers was next in
order and c. M. Krummes, who has
served as president of the organiza-
tion since its inception, excepting the
first year. was unanimously re-elect.

has filled admirably we'll.

future. The feed will probably be
held in the club rooms at Masonic

MOTORIST BATTLE
FOR LIVES In
SNOW DRIFTS

After battling IN the deep snow
with changing drifts for many hours
on the road between Reno and Car.
son Saturday. a party of thirteen
automobi)ists, headed by Frank Hood
broke through during the evening and
reached the capital city according to
reports received at Reno says the
Gazette.
Hood said the snow conditions were
bad and that the party had bucked
snow by turns and fought their way
forward a few feet at a time but
heavy wind blew snow from the hills
continually filling the road.
At midnight Saturday the state
highway department put crew on
the Carson Reno road and continued
working there until 1t was opened
and since have been driving through
the snow between bad points In order
to keep the road open for travel.
Highway department trucks Satur-
day night towed In the last of sever
al automobiles which left Carson
for Reno and became fast in the
snow, and a group of legislators, at
taches and their wives and friends
are none the worse for having been
marooned several hours In violent
blizzard. They were picked up by
train crews OF the Virginia & Truckee
Railroad.
Perhaps the most narrowing of the
adventures was experienced by Sena-
tor Scott of Loncoln county and his
party. Scott. accompanied by Hugh
4. Love. assemblyman- from Lincoln
county; Frank Davidson, assembly
man from Esmeralda; Mrs. Dawson
and Mrs. Agnes Farmer, left Carson
City late Saturday afternoon. At a
point midway between Lakeview and
Franksown, they came upon several
stalled automobiles. AS the Scott car
slowed down, 1t swung off the high
way and buried itself in a huge snow
bank In ten minutes IL was frozen
fast The party waited several hours
In the bitter cold. efforts to flag the
passenger trains having failed. Fin
ally they we're rescued by the crew
OF an extra freight train after the
engineer ran a quarter mile past the
marooned party. stopped his train and
backed up. There was no caboose on
the train and the party was brought
back to Carson in the cab of the loco
motive. Senator Scott was near to
exhaustion from the effort to dislodge
thee ar and from exposure.
Earlier In the evening Mrs. Vincent
Merialdo OF Eureka, wife OF the as
sistant chief clerk of the assembly,
and Mrs. Ernest | Maupin. Jr., Of
Churchill. wife of the assistant journ-
al clerk of the senate. became stalled
at the same place. They were res
cued by Sergeant James o'Neil of the
state police. who was endeayoring to
get to Reno in his automobile. o.
Mel succeeded in tagging a passeng-
er train and brought the two women
back to Carson. The stalled machines
were pulled out OF the snow banks by
tractors and trucks of the highway
department.
