BAG OF POWDER is FOUND
ON HILLSIDE BY BABIES

Children playing in the vicinity
of the high pressure fire tank made
discovery chat might have blown
the little group to atoms and caused
a deluge that would have flooded
every store on Main street, says the
Tonopah Times. The party con-
sisted of Sunny Jim Mclaughlin,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Nc
Laughlin, Byron Foster, Margery
Foster and Ruth Foote.
The children were amusing them
selves in various childish ways
when little Sunny Jim discovered a
bag resembling the covers in which
inner tubes are carried. The con-
tents included box of 8-x caps,
the strongest made, three sticks of
dynamite and some fuse. Had the
curiosity of the children led them
to experiment with match an ex.
plosion would have resulted that
would have dislodged the monster
tanks with their 100000 gallons OF
water and blown the young folks
into fragments. The girls knew
enough to fear handling the pack
age, so they ran down the mountain
side to inform Mrs. Mclaughlin
The latter started up the hill and
met her own dear Sunny jim
trudging down the slope carrying the
explosive. Mrs. Mclaughlin tool
charge and telephoned the police
station and had the package taker
away.

products, together with alfalfa and
grain, but in insufficient quantity
to constitute, probably, a very profi-
table undertaking. More land is be-
ing cleared there now, however, and
the owner is not in the least doubt
full of the ultimate success OF his
enterprise. He sensibly says that
nothing was ever gained without en-
deavor and that in his opinion great
quantities of hard work, the use Of
intelligence and farming knowledge,
are the only requisites for success.
The Norris & Collins ranch is
equipped with a large pumping
plant, has an extensive stand of al
falfa, and the owners go in Tor
poultry and turkey raising. Mrs.
Frances Eichwaldt is developing two
places and upon one has a twenty
acre field of alfalfa. Mr.. Walga-
mott has the Harlan ranch under
lease and is at present installing a
large pumping plant which appears
to be a model of efficiency and
upon WHICH IL may bt po9oipiN w
secure figures concerning pumping
costs which will be interesting and
set at rest future controversy as
to whether ranching may be ac-
complished successfully by the
pumping method. Other ranches
we're visited, but which at this time
will not be described even in minor
detail, in anticipation of a future
story concerning them.
There is one thing Immediately
noticeable to the stranger in Oro-
vada, a trait which could be emu
ated in other parts of the county
without hurting anyone, and that
is the hospitality of the people there,
which hospitality extends beyond
ordinary bounds and creates gen.
eral feeling of friendship. A basket
supper held at the Orovada school
house resulted in nearly 100 per
cent representation and for good,
wholesome fun, free from the usual

RAILROAD CAR SHORTAGE
FEARED BY S. P. OFFICIALS

Western shippers are urged by
the Southern Pacific Company to
load freight cars promptly and to
capacity and so avoid the destruc-
tive effects of a car shortage.
G. W. Luce, freight traffic man
ager for the company, said that as
result of the recent rains there Is
Every indication of bumper crops
this summer and fall, and that The
railroad facilities of the company
will be taxed to handle the ex-
traordinarily heavy traffic that 10
expected.
I'm the last nine months the
railroads have handled the greatest
volume of traffic ever transported in
the history of the country during
any corresponding PERIOD" said Mr..
Luce. "Traffic in 1928 up to the
first of April has reached a new high
level. If traffic over the country
continues to increase as it has, it
can be handled only by the most
rigid economy in the use of cars.
The west, with its heavy tonnage
to move across the continent to
eastern markets, has no trans
portation to waste.
Southern Pacific Company has
spent many millions of dollars since
last season for new freight cars,
particularly refrigerators, and for
modern locomotives of the most
powerful type. But with unprece-
denied traffic, chiefly in products
that run sharply into peak ship
ments, in prospect, it is evident
that only the closest cooperation of
shippers with the railroads can
avert a car shortage with conse-
quent loss to both"

restrictions of convention, its equal
has never been seen. There seems
to be total lack of the desire to
find fault with neighbors in Orc
vada and the feelings of others are
considered in great degree. The
homesteaders of 0rovada may be
fighting a losing game against ma
ture, and again they may be paw
ing the way for one of the most
prosperous communities in the state,
but regardless of all that they are
regular folks, anyhow.

WEBB SHOT CARTER
CURLER TELLS JURY

EUREKA.-That Harry Webb, a
government trapper, who accom-
panied prohibition officers to the
Raine ranch where Atha Carter, a
member of the raiding party, was
fatally wounded, was the man who
SHOT Carter, was the statement made
by B. F. Curler, attorney for X. r.
Raine, on trial for Carriers murder,
in opening the case for the de-
Tense.
1t has been known for some time
that the defense would contend that
Carter was shot by member OF his
own party. The testimony intro
duced by the state last week de-
veloped some Inconsistencies in the
states position that Raine fired the
shot in view of the fact that the
bullet removed from Carriers body
did not correspond as to weight
with ammunition for the rifle al
legged to have been used by Raine
on the night of the raid.
After the battle, Webb told
neighbors of Raine that the pro-
hibition officers who went to raid
the still asserted to have been in
operation on the Raine ranch, had
been killed, according to the testi-
mony.
Curler made the statement that
he expected to prove that Raine had
no knowledge of the existence of a
still on the ranch until about a
week before the shooting and that
he had nothing to do with it.
At the conclusion of his state
ment Curler called William Raine, a
brother of the defendant, to the
witness stand. A map prepared by
the witness was introduced for
iden tification, showing the location
Of the so-called distillery. For the
purpose of qualifying in the making
of maps, Raine said he took a cor
course in surveying.

Poor spelling, even among the
well-educated, is due largely to poor
eyesight in the early life Of the in
dividual. To spell correctly is truth
fully to recall sizes and shapes
which were photographed upon the
brain through the eyes. If the eyes
have not photographed a perfect
likeness Of the word or words, your
knowledge is incorrect and the word
is often misspelled.

Disastrous Fire At
Richey Saturday
Nearly Half Block Business Section
Goes Up in Smoke Saturday

The town of Richey had disas-
trous fire last Saturday night, when
about midnight fire broke out in the
Price Bakery and Grocery. The fire
was not noticed until it had gotten
such a headway, that all efforts to
stop it was of no avail, Nearly half
a block of business places on the east
side of main street went up in smoke.
All that was saved in the block facing
main street was the First National
Bank building on one corner and the
Farmers Lumber Yard on the other.
We understand very little insurance
was carried by any or those burned
out. 1t was just by luck of the wind
changing, that the business houses
on the opposite side of street were
saved. All plate glass fronts on west
side main street, opposite fire, were
damaged
Cause of fire unknown.
