BR|TE'S CONFESSION
IS NON co N INITIAL

The Robert Raine murder trial II
Eureka was halted late Thursday and
the jury removed from the courtroom
while the attorneys argued the ad-
instability of confession made by
J. II. Brite, alleged accomplice, who
desires to turn states evidence
against his alleged partner in the
killing of Prohibition Officer AHA
Carter.
Brite has signed a confession, in
which he swears that he placed q
still on the Raine ranch and that he
and his family lived in the same
house with Raine. that Brite oper-
ated the still and sold the liquor.
Some Indians, he says. had gotten
drunk and Raine told him to move
the still. In the night a telephone
message came that a raid was to be
made and after a talk with Raine 1t
was concluded that Webb wanted TO
steal the liquor for his own use.
They rode to the still and intended
to destroy it, Brite went in and
Raine stayed on guard. Shooting
started and Brite rushed out and
fired a shotgun twice over the heads
of the officers. He does not tell who
actually shot Carter but says Raine
had a rifle.

MEN INJURED WHEN
TRAIN STRIKES TAXI

BY collision between a car of the
United Stage and Taxi Company and
a Nevada Northern engine three men
came near losing their lives Wednes-
day, they being John Sherman Bagg
a man whose name has not been
learned here and Happy Hope, the
driver.
The car was coming down from
Kimberly to Ruth and was attempt
ing to cross the railway track by the
section houses below the big pit
dump. The driver and men in the
car did not see the engine coming, SO
they claim, there being three or four
railway freight cars on the track be-
tween them and the approaching
train. The first they saw of it was
when the coweatcher was about fifty
feet from them. Happy tried to throw
in the juice and shoot ahead, seeing
that it was too late to stop. and made
a move to change to second gear, but
that was futile. BY quick work with
the throttle ne shot his car ahead
enough so that 1t was hit at the hind
wheel instead of in the middle. The
locomotive was stopped within few
feet and Engineer Hartman rendered
assistance.
At the same time Mr.. Bagg opened
the door and jumped out but was
thrown to the ground. The engine
carried he rear of the automobise
ahead and nearly pinched him be-
tween the two. He was bruised ana
proved to be the worst hurt of the
three. Later he went to San Fran.

graphed. The other mans name only

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
LAMB|NG IS REPORTED

Lambing is proceeding in this re-
gion and in various parts OF the state
with the most satisfactory results
known in years, according to all re-
ports. !.
These reports, in brief, arc that
the lambs amount to 100 per cent
and in favorable places are even up
to 120 per cent. Such n favorable
showing has seldom been heard of,
but future weather conditions may
alter 1t somewhat. Should a cold
wave or bad snowstorm come In the
midst of the season there will be a
heavy loss, cutting the percentage
enormously.
A possible bad feature In this part
of the state may develop as the lamb
ing season proceeds. Ewes that
were weakened so much by food
shortage by being showed in many
hundreds are expected to die and 1t
will not be possible to save their
lambs to a considerable extent. Yet
that might not be regarded as loss
in percentage OF the flock. as this is
generally calculated on the loss OF
lambs alone and not of ewes and
