NEVADA PRISON HAS
EXECUTED ONLY TEN

In examining the records of the
State prison for data requested by the
British government, Homer Mooney
has been able to find accounts of the
executions of only ten men at the
Nevada State prison since 1866. Others
have been executed in the State. but
previous to 1905 the men were put
to death in the various counties.
The last execution at the prison
was in 1918 when Mircovich was shot
and the last hanging took place two
years before when Casey was hanged.
Five others were hanged in 1905
two in 1906 and one in 1909
Sixteen received combinations of
their death sentences, a few went in
sane after they had been sentenced
and others died natural deaths be-
tween the times of their sentences
and the dates for their executions.

FEATURE BILL
SUNDAY NIGHT

There comes Sunday and Monday to
the Rex Theatre picture heralded as
a milestone on the highway of art,
and which bears the highest recon-
mendations in its own right. 1t is
oliver Twist" starring that adora-
BILE child actor of the screen, Jackie
Coogan; produced by Sol Lesser; d.
rected by Frank Lloyd, and presented
by a company of the most distinguish
ed screen celebrities, including Lon
CLANCY. Gladys Brockwell, Lionel Bel
more and host more.
The picture is described as the most
ambitious In which the juvenile star,
Jackie Coogan, has ever appeared, and
Il is asserted that in it he has regis
tered an appeal that strikes the hearts
of young and old and of all classes
of picture patrons as well as nose
that are not usually enticed to the
theatre. 1t is the appeal of innocent
boyhood through the medium of one of
the greatest stories ever penned-
Charles Dickens "Oliver Twist" The
pIot has been followed with unusual
fidelity. IL Is claimed, and the charac-
terizations will satisfy the most en-
thusiastic of Dickens readers. "Oliver
Twist" is a First National Attraction
listed among the biggest of the year.

one business has got to go some.
Nix on the full buggy war cry for
mine-unless-well. you never can

| have no COB of gloom to work off,
but looking at it from a patriotic view

more marrying among the young peo-
pie of Carson Valley and vicinity.
It's fine country, but it needs more
people.
Now, have had the same strong
arm around me till my back aches,
and heard those same worn out Sunday
night hints about what lonely life a
single man lives till | know them by
heart-words and music. But you can
always count on a quick getaway

stirring in the proposal business.
Oh, they are a cautious crowd, these
Carson Valley lads A girl | know
treed one indiscreet biped in pants
who Judged over the deadline and ac-
tually talked marriage. Next night
he was back with a tale of woe about
the high cost of living and the drudg-
cry that threatens a poor mans wife,
etc, etc. One night that same week
we saw him joy riding with some fe-
males that he probably wouldn't speak
to in daylight But there Is lot of
raw material around Carson Valley
that would make good husbands. and
II Is time that a marrying epidemic

GOVERNOR TELLS PLAN
TO RECLAIM NEVADA LAND

A plan to utilize the vast usettled
acreage of Nevada for the rehabilita-
tion of veterans of the World war with
the aid of federal and state officials
was announced in San Francisco Fri
day, it became known in Reno today,
says the Reno Journal.
I The governor made the announce
ment after a conference with San
Francisco officials of the United States
veterans bureau and the American Le-
gion.
The pr oject will be presented to the
American Legion, of which Governor
ScrughaL is vice commander, at ITS
national convention in San Francisco
in October.
1t will call for the cooperation of
government organization and the ma
tional veterans bodies, and for federal
and state appropriations.
Unity of action is all that Is needed
to put the plan through" said Gov
ernor Scrugham THE American Le-
gion has not made much progress in
the past because 1t has been too busy
IndTpOOuluS IT'S COutchipo Of VI 5fsiii1s,
tions, but its cooperation in this
work will give 1t an opportunity for
real constructive service. This sup
port has been assured me by officials
of the legion and veterans bureau in
San Francisco and Southern Califor-
MIA.
There are thousands Of acres of
good land with water rights going to
waste in Nevada, which can be pur-
chased cheaply and turned over to
the rehabilitation of war veterans. The
people of the state are themselves too
busily engaged in mining and other
activities to devote themselves to the
hardships of developing the land. But
1t is well adapted to poultry and dairy
industries and with a little financial
encouragement the veterans could
make a success of the project.
Nevada now has about 100000
which could be devoted to the plan
and federal assistance can be secured
If the organizations concerned will
back up the project. AS there is plen-
ty of water available the work of d.
viding up the land into small farms
is comparatively simple one"

HlLDERBRANDT
STILL MISSING

All efforts that have been made dur
ing the past month or six weeks to
get some trace of Howard Hilder-
brant, who mysteriously disappeared
from Gardneryille a few months ago
have proved without avail and IT is
believed that the young man has met
with foul play
Shortly before his disappearance
Hilderbrandt announced that he in
tended TO go to Antelope Valley TO
seek ranch work. Inquiry made among
the farmers OF that section revealed
no trace of the missing man and It
Is not believed that he sought work
there
Hilderbrandt left an automobile in
the Midland garage and In the room
which was occupied by him during
bis stay in Gardnerville. was found
his personal effects, and his close
acquaintances declare that the young
man had no occasion to leave here
without revealing his whereabouts.
Hilderbrandt's mother resides In
Oregon and she is greatly worried
over the disappearance OF her son, and
like his acquaintance here, fear that
he has met with foul play.

SENIOR PLAY
GREAT SUCCESS

Standing room was at a premium
Tuesday evening at the high school
auditorium when the senior class pre-
sented "A Full House," the class play.
The cast was composed of the en-
fire class of 1923 and they were coach
cd by Harold O'Brien, member Of the
high school faculty, and their splendid
presentation OF the play reflected much
credit and untiring efforts on his part.
Walter Wennhold, as Parker, an
English servant, was a scream while
Miss Ada Springmeyer, as Susie the
maid was equally clever In her role
Lillian Huttemann, a bride, who In all
appearances had been deserted by her
husband, the day following the mar
riage. but who was steadfast In her
devotion to hubby, despite the cutting
charges and predictions made by her
maiden aunt, had rather difficult
part. but handled her lines very clev-
erly. Josephine Riemann, as the aunt,
was splendid In her part and her
comedy lines were brought out with
much pep. Mildred Jepsen, a young
lady In love, was charming In her
role and looked the part she played.
Tom Raycraft, as the young husband,
who had apparently deserted his bride,
and who was also accused OF being
thief, managed to slip out OF very
tight place, through the assistance of
his chum, whom he had befriended In
a love affair and saved him from the
designs Of Vera Fleming, a show girl.
Both Raycraft and Cedric Brickliss,
the chum. measured up to their res
peetiye parts, while Alice Bull as the
show girl was especially good in her
part Rubel Hansen, as owner Of the
fiat where the storm centered was
just naughty enough to portray the
idiosyncracies of the species In that
position Elmer Bruins as Officer
Mooney, was the real comedian of the
cast and not only acted the part but
looked every inch the part of a recent
arrival from the Emerald Isle and
given place OF authority on the DO
lice force. The other officers, who
took part In the raid, were imperson-
ated by Cecil and Elmer Stodieck and
they handled their respective roles in
true style. Last. but not least, was
Alex Clock. as the veg. who during
train wreck. had unintentionally ex-
changed travelling bags with the young
groom, which act placed a decent law
yer In the apparent role of thief
with all the plunder OF a successful
