Rather at Lake Mary

Saturday at Lake Mary near the
highway about two miles south of the
store, Robert Piper killed sizeable
rattlesnake that had seven rattles and
the conventional button. Mr.. and Mrs.
G. r. Arthur and daughter, Miss
Laura Arthur, were in the party. Mrs.
Arthur heard the snake rattle, and
couldn't be kidded into thinking it
was a locust. A moment later Miss
Arthur nearly stepped on it. Then
Bob ended its career with club. An
other rattler was killed near the same
spot a few weeks ago.

Snake Dance, When?

To those anxious to learn the
exact date of the Hopi Indian snake
dance: Be patient Maybe the In
dians know by this time. They de-
eide 16 days in advance of the actual
date But word has not been received
in Flagstaff. It will be, very likely
before the middle of next week, and
then will be broadcasted so that all in
the world may know. Lorenzo Hub
bell, who always knows ahead of any
other white man, was in Winslow the

the date had not been fixed.

DICK ROACH WAS
TAKEN TO CARSON

The cabin wherein Richard Roach
has held forth for many moons
located on Barrett street between
Second and Third, was raided las,
Friday by federal narcotic Office,
possessed of a search warrant en-,
titling him to search for dope in the
cabin, but the hard luck for Roach
was reached when quantities o1
moonshine were uncovered instead
of the narcotics.
Working with the federal office,
were Sheriff Geo. w. Brady and
Chief of Police Kize G. Lamb
Though diligent search was made
for the various forms of habit-form
ing drugs, none was found, but ir
the process Brady and Lamb ar.
rested Roach on charge of having
violated the federel .ohibition law
and they report h4<ing found trays
glasses and driht mixer compar.
able to the outflgE of an old-time
saloon. They also found a two.
gallon demijohn, two quarts and
three pints Of moonshine, they say
together with miscellaneous as.
sortment of demijohns and bottles
containg various amounts of the for.
hidden juices.
Roach was taken to the count,
jail, where he remained until yester-
day when Lyman Fulton, deputy
United States marshal, arrived from
Carson City to appear for the gov
ernngent at Roach's preliminary
hearing before United States Com
missioner S. M. Bonnifeld, who held
him for trial before the federal
court. Bail was set at $1,000, and
being unable to raise that amount
Roach was taken to Reno last night
to spend his time in the Washoe
county jail until he may be tried in
court.
Roach has a varied police record
and has been in trouble and in jail
several times for various infractions
of law. He has the distinction of
having been the first man in the
state of Nevada convicted of a
violation of the state dry act, for
which offense he spent four months
in the Humboldt county Jail.

co..tins Parties

coasting Parties-
Coasting has been a chief diver
sion for Winnemucca children dur
ing the last week, due to the un-
excelled conditions existing because
of partial thaw of snow followed
by good freezing weather, making
the hills slippery as glass. Some of
the older kids have stolen forth dur
ing the hours of darkness to enjoy
the old-time sport, resulting in
numerous coasting parties. The
schoolhouse hill at Fifth and Lay
streets has held out greatest at
traction in this respect. Snow last
night and thaw yesterday have
worked to soften the surface Of
the snow, so perhaps the fun is
spoiled until freezing weather again
prevails.
