Governor William d. Denney has
received and accepted the resignation
of William Tinsman, of Richardson
Park, as special constable at large in
New Castle county. Tinsman was
appointed under authority given the
governor by an act passed at the last
session of the Legislature. Governor
Denney said he was not ready at this
time to state who would be named by
him as Tinsman's successor. Tinsman
in his letter of resignation gave as his
reason for retiring from the office
that the State law requiring him to
bond in the sum of $4,000 had impair
ed his credit and for that reason he
would have to relinquish the job. He
gave no other explanation.

FOUR CRIMES IN
ONEDAY RECORD
FOR THOMAS

Virgil Thomas, employed for a few
days on the Henningsen ranch, be-
come a bold, bad man Wednesday
and within a space of a few hours
stole motorcycle from John
Frevert, made an endeavor to cash
a forged check on G. Henningsen at
the Douglas County Farmers Bank,
and then stole Dodge touring car
belonging to Fritz Dangberg.
Young Frevert soon learned that
his motorcycle had been stolen and
jumping on another machine, sue
ceeded in overtaking THOMAS After
recovering his machine, he gave the
thief a good booting and felt that he
was satisfied. Thomas returned to
Gardnerville and continued his
criminal career by endeayoring to
cash forged check. His work was
crude and when payment was refused
he declared that mistake had
been made and old the cashier he
would go up the street and see Hen
ningsen. From the bank he walked
past the Ritchford hotel and near
the H. Dressler home found Fritz
Dangberg's Dodge car standing at
the roadside, the owner being in a
nearyby field attending to his duties
as water commissioner. Thomas
stepped on the starter and had bet
ter luck than met him at the bank.
Returning few minutes later Mr..
Dangberg found his car had been
stolen, and J. A. Dettling in his
Hudson, accompanied by Constable
Ward hit the trail in hot pursuit.
In the meantime telephone messages
were sent to Coleville Mountain
House, Wellington and other points
to head off the thief VIM. Hickey at
the Mountain House made an en-
deavor to stop Thomas but failed in
his attempt.
Thoms succeeded in getting by the
officers until he reached Bodie at
II o'clock Wednesday night. At that
place the constable ordered him to
stop and fired shot into the air.
Thoms stepped on the gas and the
officer began pumping lead into the
car 1t got to hot for Thomas and
he drove the car off the road and
disappeared into the darkness on
foot. 1t is believed that the officers
will succeed in capturing Thomas.
He stopped at service station
near Nine Mile, filled up with gas
and oil and drove off without paying
the attendant.
At Bodie the officers were assisted
by miners armed with pick handles,
muzzle loading pistols and other
weapons, but declare that Thomas
and the Dodge went "over the top
like a veteran.
Officer Ward returned with Mr.
Dangberg's car last evening.

DUCK SEASON
OPENS SUNDAY

The open season for hunting wild
ducks and geese will be ushered in
at sunrise, exactly at $3.50, next
Sunday morning. II all reports be
true, there are more wild ducks In
Carson Valley at this time than for
several seasons, and hunting is ex-
pected to be good.
An effort was made by John E.
Drendel to defer the opening date to
October first, and while many men,
bers of the various hunting clubs
were in accord with the movement,
the scheme was deemed feasible, un
less the county commissioners en-
acted on ordinance to that effect and
in this respect the time was too
brief.
Many of the clubs, during the past
few years, have put out feed for wild
stating that such action was against
the law. The matter was taken up
with game officials by the Gardner
Vile club and advice has been re-
ceived that no low prohibiting the
feeding of ducks on reserves has
ever been enacted.
The. opening day falling on Sum
day, signifies that hunters will be
out in full force and all hunters are
hoping that the opening day will be
ushered in by big storm.
At the Schacht ranch members of
the Gardnerville gun club have built
substantial addition to their club
house and the new building will be
formally opened Sunday with big
feed.
Several game wardens will be sta
tion along the river and on differ
ent reserves to see that shooting does
not start before 5:39.

FOOTBALL AT
DOUGLAS HIGH

Before the Douglas county high
school came into being, the trustees
of the Gardnerville district school
arranged for high school studies,
many students taking advantage OF
the educational advantages. There
was no lack of athletic activities,
among other things bootball being
on the program. The Gardnervlle
team met Reno, the Stewart School
players and other teams and made a
good showing.
After all these years, football is to
be revived and Principal Lewis of
the high school, had little difficulty
in getting response from the students.
Practice is already under way and
the huskies of the school will be
heard from before the end of the
season.
Uniforms and equipment Is need
ed and in order to raise the neces-
sary money, benefit show will be
given at Rex theatre tonight. Tom
MIX in up and Going" a feature

be screened tonight. The students
urge your attendance. Ne advance

THIRD CROP Will
BE VERY HEAVY

The past two weeks or ten days
have been extremely warm and as
a result the third crop of alfalfa, on
farms where water has been avail
able, has grown remarkably WELL
In some instances the third crop will
be as heavy as the second cutting
However, in recent years, the third
crop of alfalfa has been used for
sheep pasture in Carson Valley to
large extent, and the same condi-
ton will be adhered to on the larger
ranches this fall.
Gardens have matured wonderfully
well and cucumbers, corn and such
vegetables are to be had in abund-
ance. Tomatoes are maturing fast
and should the present weather con-
tinue another week or ten days a
big crop will be harvested.
Threshing has been under way for
the past two weeks and the Carson
Valley crop is about harvested, save
in a few instances. Grain is now be-
ing hauled to the mills at Minden
and Gardnerville and flour is being
made from the new crop.
Water in both forks of the Carson
river is extremely low, and the stored
water of the Alpine Land & Reser-
vior company has been put to bene-
fetal use during the shortage and
has been of untold help in maturing
rops on the East Fork.

Lutherans Install
New Missionary

A large delegation of Lutherans
from Gardnerville accompanied the
Trinity Church choir to Reno Sun
day and witnessed the installation of
the Rev. Frank Haedicke as Lutheran
State. Missionary for Nevada in st.
Lukes Lutheran Church. The charge
to the new missionary was delivered
by Rev. Martens, who also performed
the rite of installation, assisted by
Rev. Felten of Gardnerville and Rev.
w. Menzel of Lassen. The choir OF
Trinity Church rendered two select
ions and Miss Leona Bergman sang
solo.
In connection with this service st.
Luke's church of Reno celebrated the
18th anniversary of its pastor, Rev
Martens, who this summer rounded
aut 10 years of tireless activity for
his charge and the Lutheran church
of the state in general. Upon re-
quest of the Reno church Rev. Felten
delivered the anniversary sermon.
st. Luke's church presented Rev
Martens with the three volumes OF
Kretzmann's Commentary of the
Bible, which are now on the market,
and Trinity church presented him
with check to cover the cost OF
the two volumes which are to pub
lished in the near future.
Rev. Menzel made the presentation
address in behalf of both congrega-
tions. This anniversary service and
observance was in the nature of a
surprise, and there is no question in
the minds of those who were present
that Pastor Martens was the most
surprised man in the state of Ne
vada last Sunday.
After the services the visitors and
many members of the Reno church
gathered about the festive board in
the roomy basement of the church
and enjoyed the hospitality of the
! st. Luke's Ladies' Aid to the utmost
