LOCAL CHIMAMAN
Gets OUT OF PEN

Charley Hong was the unhappiest
Chinaman in Carson yesterday. The
happiest Chinaman in town was zee
Toy, says the Carson News.
Hong was sad because a jury
found him guilty of trafficking in
drugs and Judge Harrington had
sentenced him TO spend the next
five years in the government prison
at Leavenworth.
zee Toy was happy because he
had been released on parole from
the Nevada state prison after hav-
ing served almost six years of life
sentence.
Toy was convicted of the murder
of another Chinaman in Humboldt
county. 1t was generally supposed
that the killing was one of the Incl
dents of a tong war. zee Toy has
always maintained his innocence
and has steadfastly denied that he
was in any manner connected with
a tong. Warden Salter, who de-
Tended one of the Cinnamon ac-
cused of the murder, has expressed
the belief that zee Toy was not
the murderer.
A couple of days after the Nina
murder for which Gee Jon and
Hughie Sing have been sentenced to
death a Chinaman suggested the
possibility of some connection be-
tween the killing in Lovelock, for
which zee Toy was serving time,
and that in Nina. zee Toy was in
terviewed at the prison and ques-
toned closely about any acquain-
tanceship with Gee Jon, but he
claimed not to know the fellow
supposed to have been the most ac-
tive in the Nina killing, although
he showed a great deal of interest
in the affair.
zee Toy had a relative in Carson.
The uncle and other members of his
race frequently went to the prison
to see zee Toy and to give him
newspapers and other articles. They
were apparently willing to do any
thing in their power to make his
stay in prison as pleasant as pos
sible and to lend their efforts to-
ward getting his parole, but their
attitude changed when zee Toy on
May "a, 1921 made his escape from
the prison. He was captured at
Lake Tahoe the next day, and ever
after while ward of the state was
good boy"
Yee Toy was deeply Inundated
when he was clothed in stripes,
which signified that he had attempt
ed escape, and he was much joshed
about his fishing trip" to the lake.
However, he Joined heartily the
laugh that followed mention of the
Tahoe trip by one of his former
guards. The happy Chinaman de-
clared that he is ''going home"-to
San Francisco.

guilty or not guilty to the offense
charged in the complaint.
The complaint against the defen-
dants was for the crime of assault
and battery and the jury returned
a verdict on one Of the three forms
delivered to them of guilty of as
sault with a recommendation of
lieniency.
The argument of counsel was TO
the effect that jury in a justice
court did not have the same powers
as a jury in the district court in
rendering a verdict for the lesser
crime contained in the greater Of
tense as the statute defined the
crime of assault and also the crime
of assault and battery.
The court overruled the motion
and pronounced sentence on the de-
PENDANTS.
The payment of fines has been
delayed pending further develop
ments which it is understood will
be in the nature of habeas corpus
proceedings.

CORE DRILLING AT
TUSCARORA SUCCESS

That the core drill experiment,
attempted during the past season at
Tuscarora as a means of prospect
ing that famed mining district, ac-
complished more than enough to
justify the expense attached to i'm
porting the expensive machine and
has resulted in finds that may prove
highly valuable is the word received
from Roy Primeaux of Tuscarora
Who has been in charge of the core
drill during the past several months,
says the Elko Independent. Mr..
Primeaux has announced that the
drill has been laid up for the winter,
but will resume operations next

PROMISING GOLD STRIKE
AT MASONIC, CALIFORNIA

Masonic, gold mining district in
Mono county. California, has a real
mining boom on. A handful OF
sturdy men have remained at the
camp for the past two years doing
development work and several very
rich gold lodges have been opened
up, with the result that Masonic
now promises to become another
Bodie. Frank Stall, the mining
operator, has a splendid showing in
his property at Masonic, and when
the winter breaks into spring there
will be much mining activity in
the latest gold camp. There are
now about rs miners and prospec-
tors at Masonic and more going in
every day.

DEFECTIVE SWITCH
CAUSE W.P. WRECK

Interesting testimony given be-
fore the coroner's jury investigating
the cause of the death of Engineer
William Colleran in the recent
Western Pacific wreck, brought out
a clearer version of what was the
actual cause of the wreck than was
previously been gained. According
to the testimony of one of the fire.
men on engineer Jack Rice's freight
engine, which struck the helper,
starting it on its wild dash down
the hill, which ended only with its
crashing into Engineer Colleran' S
train, the main difficulty lay in the
fact that the switch from the main
line onto the side track either be-
came jammed, or the brakeman who
was turning it became excited, and
the switch, instead of being turned
into either one of the two tracks,
stopped midway between the two.
Rice's engine and the three cars
took the switch into the old three
per cent, while the fourth car and
the rest of the train started down
the main line. 1t was this turn in
events that turned Rice's engine
over. 1t was also stated that when
the crew of the helper engine saw
the train bearing down upon them,
they jumped to safety, their engine
without brakes starting down the
hill slowly, gathering speed as it
went. Mcbride, fireman on Rice's
engine maintained that he could
have run down the hill and caught
the runaway after his engine had
turned over, only he thought the
engineer and fireman were still on
board. Not one of the crew believ-
ed that the runaway would ever
reach the bottom of the hill without
leaving the track.
1t was also brought out that had
there been a derailing switch on
the old track at the bottom of the
hill, as is usually the custom, the
accident would never have taken
place.
The jury. brought in a verdict Of
accidental death.
The wreck will in all probability
cost the railroad company in the
aggregate, nearly 100000, it is
estimated the cost of the two ruined
locomotives alone, representing a
loss of $150,000. The helper en-
CINE and Colleran's engine had to
be burned apart so deeply was one
imbedded in the other.-Elko indie

NINE BEARS WERE KILLED
LATELY NEAR BRIDGEPORT

During the past six weeks bear
hunting has been the real sport
around Bridgeport, the Mono coun-
ty seat. The bears had become
tame or were off their travelled
territory for three large bruins were
killed on the meadows where thou
sands of cattle are pasturing. Six
more larger black bears were killed
in the foothills, not over four
miles from the town. 1t is thought
the bears followed the Tioga road
coming down from the Yosemite
valley. There hasn't been bear
killed in the vicinity of Bridge
port for several years past and
old trappers are puzzled as to the
cause of their presence in such
large numbers.

BUMBER GRAIN CROP
SAYS CHESTER C. DAVIS

Crop prospects in northeastern
Montana are the best they have
ever been at this time of the year."
said Chester @. Davis, state COM
missioner of agriculture, on his re-
turn to Helena for ma week spent
in attending farm bureau meetings
in Roosevelt, Sheridan, Daniels and
Richland counties.
Mr.. Davis said the crops, which
consist principally of spring wheat
and corn, certainly look wonderful,
that there has been plenty of mois-
ture so far this year and if the
rains keep up large harvests are
assured.
According to Mr.. Davis, the
terially decreased, although there
has been considerable seed disced
into stubble ground which will
make good if plenty of rain falls.
There has been a surprising in
crease in corn acreage, he said, ex-
tending clear up to the Canadian
line.
The wheat production in this
portion of the state in 1922 was
enormous and the farmers are still
hauling wheat, said Mr.. Davis, one
elevator at Scobey receiving 1000
bushels of wheat the day he spent
in that town. He estimates that
when the last of the 1922 crop shall
have been hauled the Scobey ele-
VatOrs will have handled 2,5OO,OOO

LET CONCRETE HELP
Tighten FARM WORK
FARM PAGE

Good farm buildings are a great
factor in conserving farm products
and the energy required in producing
them. A damp stable, a rough floor,
broken fence or a tumbledown corn
crib is an aggravation at any time
but particularly during the busy sea
son when time is at such a premium
that only temporary repairs can be
made. Such repairs usually are for
gotten until another break and fur
Their loss occur, and it is due to them
that the feeling of Encouragement
and monotonous grind of the farm
makes itself evident.
Concrete is acknowledged to be
the most permanent building mater
ial known. 1t resists the action of
fire, water, storm and wear. At the
same time it is a material suitable
to all the building requirements of
the farm and so easily handled that
the average person can get good re-
pie instructions. Because concrete
endures, care should be taken to pro-
duce with it the best possible finish
ed product.
One of the first things to know
about concrete is its composition. 1t
is made of portland cement, sand and
pebbles or crushed stone in proper
mixed to a workable
mass with clean water. A 1928 mix
ture of concrete means one sack Cone

two cubic feet of sand and three
cubic feet of pebbles or crushed |
stone. Sand should be clean and |

Under normal conditions concrete
hould be left in the forms at least
8 hours. In cold weather much
onger time is required since heat

BACTERIA NEEDED
TO GROW LECUMES
CORRECT SOIL ORGANISMS MAY
BE SUPPLIED BY FIELD
SOIL INCUBATION
When New Legumes Are Grown For
the First Time in Locality, the
Soil Should Be InocuIated With the
Proper Bacteria.

For the most successful growth o
alfalfa, clover, beans, peas and othe
leguminous crops the proper kind
of bacteria should be abundant in thu
soil. When new legumes are grown
for the first time in a locality the
soil should be inoculated with the
proper bacteria by artificial inocula
tion. In some regions soils are al.
ready supplied with the proper sol
organisms; for example, in many
southern localities artificial inocula-
tion for cowpeas is necessary and
in sections of the middle west bac-
terra which thrive ON the roots OF
clover and alfalfa are already pres
ent.
Artificial incubation can be &C
complished by spreading soil from a
well-established field, where the par
ticular legume which is to be grown
has been successful, upon the new
land to be planted with that legume,
and also by the use of pure cultures
of the proper bacteria. The United
States department of agriculture is
prepared to supply enough of the
pure culture to inoculate one bushel
of seed, and this culture can be OBJ
tanned in bottles which contain COM
plete directions for use. Application
blanks for these cultures may be OBJ
tanned from the department at Wash
ington, D. G.
Too much attention cannot be
given to the preparation of the field
for leguminous crops. In we'll
prepared seed bed the young plants
get the best start and the necessary
bacteria will thrive. Sour soils him
der and often entirely prevent the
development of the beneficial soil or
ganisms. TIE remedy this condition
an application of lime is necessary.
Any kind of lime may be used to adj
vantage, but usually finely ground
limestone is applied.
When field is known to contain
the bacteria suitable for a certain
legume crop-for example, alfalfa
SHOWN Dy the presence OF numerous
nodules upon the roots of alfalfa
plants growing there, the soil is de-
sirable for the incubation of other
fields upon which alfalfa is to be /

the new field through the fertilizer
