CITY ASSURED OF
PAVED STREETS
Action of City Council Has Led to
Such Assurance, Portions Of
Bridge and Third Streets
to Be Improved

As a result of resolutions passed
by the city council recently, accept
ing government aid for concrete
construction of portions Of both
Bridge and Third streets, this prof.
ect is practically assured for Winne-
mucca, according to a statement
made by City Attorney J. A. Lang
with.
Specifications and estimates have
been made up which call for con-
crete construction from the city
limits at the cemetery, west of this
city, along Third street and running
to Hurst street, to be IS feet wide,
a distance OF one and one-half miles,
thence to the east city limits, nine
tenths of one mile including an un-
derpass under the Southern Pacific
tracks, this construction to be of
gravel. Also concrete Is feet wide
from Third street north to the
Western Pacific right of way, IS
feet wide, distance of four-tenths
of one mile. From the Western Pa
cific tracks to the northern city
limits, a distance Of nine-tenths Of
one mile, gravel construction. An
ordinance will later be passed by the
city council, it is the understanding
of Judge Langwith, requiring prop
erty owners along Bridge street
from Third to the bridge to COM
plete and pay for the balance Of
the concrete construction work over
the 18 feet in which the government
will participate.
The total cost of this work will
be SIPS, go, it is estimated by
the state highway department. which
estimate, however, is probably high
to assure that the federal officials
will appropriate sufficient funds to
complete the construction. The
city's share would, under this esti-
mate, be $32 ,365.74. Sufficient city
funds are already available to take
care of this cost.
Starting of the work depends
upon action Of the state highway
department, which in turn awaits
approval of authorities at Washing
ton. There is little likelihood that
this APPROVAL will be withheld, how
ever, and the effort is to be to get
the street work done before freezing
weather commences. II this proves
to be impossible the work will be
done next year surely.

Man L. Still Out

YERINCTON, July 26 (4:05

o'clock this afternoon after hav-
ing deliberated for % hours.
Nine jurymen held out for con-
viction of granddaughter while

YERINGTON, Nevada, July
26 (2;07 p.m.).-(Special to
The Silver Stste) defense
used two hours and state three
hours in making final argument
in the trial of Clarence Sage,
on trial here for the murder of
Edward Colquhoun in a Silver
City saloon, the killing occur
ring last March. The jury went
out at o'clock last night and
called for information relative
to the testimony of Donovan,
McTigue and Sage concerning
events Immediately prior to the
shooting, at 10 o'clock this
morning. This required until
12:40. Jury again locked up,
went to lunch, and now back in
box. Verdict expected momen-
tarily.
The above telegram, sent from
Yerington by the courtesy of the
Mason Valley News this afternoon
at the request of The Silver State
constitutes the latest information
in the case up to press
hour. The murder trial of Clarence
Sage is of great interest in Hum.
boldt county because Sage formerly
lived here and is brother of Ran
dali Sage of McDermitt. In conse.
quence the final determination OF
the jury is looked for hourly and
when it comes it will promptly ..be
posted in the window of The Silver
State office for the benefit of read
ers of this newspaper.
Justifiable homicide was the theme
Of the defense in the Sage trial and
in support of the self defense theory
physicians were called to the stand
for the purpose of showing that
Sage was badly battered and bruised
when they examined him after the
shooting, apparently the result OF
the beating he sustained at the
hands of Colquhoun. The doctors
said the prisoners eyes were black
ened, his face was cut and swollen
and his nose was broken. DR.. Mac
lean testified that he found severe
bruise on Sage's hip, an injury that
could have been inflicted by kick
or by falling on a rock. The last
witness was Maxine Hurst, who said
Colquhoun and his companions had
been drinking shortly before the
tragedy. The proprietor of the bar
said that after the fight, in which
Sage hurled several coffee cups, he
told Sage to go home, and Sage left
the place, but returned in five or six
minutes and began to shoot. Col
quhoun, he said, was in a fighting
attitude when the shots were fired
Willis Wilson, a cousin of the dead
man, testified that he heard Colqu.
houn propose to Sage that they
cease their quarreling and be
friends. Sage, he said, refused to
agree to this and the men began
lighting on the street. Four or five
blows were struck, he said, and Sage
was knocked down.

WEATHER MAN IS
 HARD ON YANKEES

NEW ORLEANS, March 28.-Some- where maybe the sun is shining, but that's where the New York Yankees ain't.
 The American league champions were driven into the hotel lobby again Wednesday by flood of un- seemly weather, which soused the ball park and left the local Cham Der of Commerce without an alibi. The chamber was very dppity about the even disposition of the New Or leoans weather when the negotiations were going on which finally brought the ball club here to do it's trai. ing.
 The Tanks were to have played am other game with the New Orleans Pelicans. If the rain quits by Thurs day, the game will be perpetrated and the receipts imposed on the Salvation Army The takings at the gate gen orally have been so meager that an enterprising tamborine girl might collect more money in half an hour on back street of an abandoned set clement. This is very pessimistio day.

Barons And Athletics Preuented From Playing First Game By Ra
1 CHARLIE PADDOCK WILL ATTEMPT TO
 BREAK HIS RECORD

PASADENA. Cal. March 2s.- Charlie Paddock is going to beat his own world record for the 100-yard dash at Berkley Saturday. if such a thing is humanly possible, he de- clared here today while preparing for his trip up north as captain of the track team of the University of Southern California.
 Track followers have been won dering for the past few years if the 100 yards will ever be run in 9 2-5." Paddock said. Tn fact, that question has been. greatly discussed ever since Duffey stepped the distance in 9:3, and will no doubt continue on and on until some one some time does the impossible and lowers the mark Then people will mmediately con- mence speculating upon 9:1-5 sec- ond century.
 "It is more than a 50-50 proposi- tion that the limit for the century has already been reached. Nine three has been run so seldom that it has become the accepted zenith of human speed. However no one can safely set a limit to human energy and activity.
 T have my greatest chance to make two-fifths Saturday at 'Berke- ley. if 1t can be done, and if I can do it, I will"

BOSTON, March 2S.-The A. A. U. will send regrets insteadof athletes in response to invitations from sev- eral European countries to have American teams participate in track meets abroad this summer, President William c. Prout indicated today. He said that patriotic considerations called for efforts by athletes and su- pervision authorities to make this the biggest track season ever in prepara tion for selection of the team that will represent the United States at the Olympic games in Paris next summer.
 Suppose 12 champions. as is pro- posed in the Swedish invitation to track and field men, go across for the Gothenberg games in July" he said, "the stars would stay in Europe most of the summer. They might not be home for the championships, and just when we wish to make a showing, no showing would be possible"
