McDERMITT, July 1O.--McDer-
mitt's impromptu celebration oil the
Fourth was enjoyed by nearly all
the residents of the vicinity, only a
few attending outside celebrations.
The small boy and his omnl-pres-
ent firecracker and torpedo made
the day interesting for his elders
but no accidents nor injuries were
reported.
Flags and bunting were much IN
evidence in the decorations OF busl-
ness places, but especially to be
mentioned was the Ore-vada Hotter
which was fully adorned within and
without with all manner of patriotic
emblems.
In the afternoon two horse races
were run with the following re-
suits:
Horse race-Jack WEIGH, first,
Raymond Smart, second.
Saddle horse race - Raymond
Smart, first; Ernest Gartiez, second.
Following the horse races num-
Der of foot races took place on
Main street, with winners as fol
lows:
Young mans 100 yard dash
Julio Laucerica, first, Elmer Lyon
second.
Big boys 100 yard dash-Roy
Bankofier.
Little boys 100 yard dash
Savio Albisu.
Fat mans 100 yard dash-Vic-
ente Mendieta, first; Dr. Reese, sec
ond.
Ladies' 100 yard dash-Modesta
Laucerica and Theresa Kelsey, tie.
Ladies 100 yard dash-Theresa
Kelsey, first; Modesto Laucerica,
second.
After the races a novel entertain
ment was afforded by Bucaroo Jack
and five other Piutes, who paraded
in native costume, and after an adj
dress by their leader, gave a short
dance. Bucaroo Jack said in part
in the very clearest of English that
I'VE Piutes thought the whole world
was ours till you white people came
from somewhere, we don't know
where. You took our land and our
water from us so now we have no
way to make a living and have to
pick up the rags you throw out
for our clothes and for food, eat
what you throw away"
One of the wove grass platters

passed for donations toward a
treat" which was responded to
literally by the crowd.
At this point a binding dust
storm arose, driving everyone
within doors. No doubt the white
mans gods were incensed at the
of the Piutes and took this
means of showing their displeasure.
In the evening, dancing was en-
joyed by a large crowd in Nc
Dermitt Hall, with a supper served
at midnight at the 0revada Hotel.

day from a trip to San Francisco.

Legislates to Lessen
Auto Accidents

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 2O.-(A. P.)-
Safety first" exponents, as reflect
ed among those who want to see the
high rate of raidroad grade crossing
accidents lowered, carried their
fight into at least four southern leg
islatures this summer, with success
in only one.
In the North Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama general assem-
blies would require the motorist to
come to complete stop within a
specified distance of grade cross
ing and at the same time require the
railroads to erect suitable warning
signals. North Carolina alone of the
three, enacted such legislation and
officials charged with its admins
tration say that the first few months
of it's. operation showed an appre
ciable lessening in the number Of
accidents. The Florida, Georgia and
Alabama lawmaking bodies refused
to adopt the measures, their oppon
ents characterizing them as the
to free their interests form possible
handiwork of railroad men seeking
damage suits. In the Florida assem-
bly, the measure was amended to
meet these objections, clause being
inserted which would have expressly
provided that it was not to be con-
strued as removing the liability OF
the carriers.
