SAGE TRIAL is SET
FOR OCTOBER FIRST

The second trial in the case of
the State of Nevada VS.. Clarence
Sage on a charge of murder, was
set for October first by District
Judge Thomas C. Hart, in the Dis
trirt Court last Tuesday, says the
Mason Valley News.
The first trial, which resulted in
hung jury, created state wide in
terest and as many of the particu-
lars which came out in the evidence
have been published, considerable
difficulty is anticipated in securing
a jury.
1t will be remembered that the
defendant, Clarence Sage, shot and
killed Ed. Colquhoun in Silver City
on the evening of March 15, this
year.
Sage will be represented by At
torney P. j. McCarran, of Reno
while District Attorney Guild will
handle the states case.

FORMER RESIDENTS LOST
ALL IN CALIFORNIA FIRE

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Deiss and
their four children are homeless be-
cause of one of the disastrous forest
fires which during recent days have
taken heavy toll in California, ac-
cording to a telegram received by
Mrs. B. Klucy, sister of Mrs. Deiss.
The telegram stated that all of the
Deiss' property had been destroyed
when a forest fire got beyond con-
troll and leveled their ranching prop
erty near Kemmwood, in the Napa
valley. Besides the usual ranch
buildings great loss was sustained
through the destruction of grape
vines, fruit trees and dairy, in all
amounting to about $1,000, in the
estimation of Mrs. Klucny. The
telegram did not state whether there
was any insurance or not. Mr.. and
Mrs. Deiss will be remembered here
as having removed to California
about two years ago after having
resided at the Klucny ranch.

HUNTERS HEREABOUTS
MIGHTY AND LUCKY

It's pretty soft to be a newspaper
publisher and have your friends
bring in liberal portions of venison
and ducks, as well as fish and sage
chickens in season, and it also helps
to keep the hungry wolf from the
doorstep. The dentists lead SO far
this week, Doc Van Valin being re-
sponsible for ducks on the editorial
table while Doc Morrison delighted
the inner man, woman and child
with some venison loin chops that
mere words cannot describe.
DR.. Van Valin didn't tell where
he was SO lucky in bagging numer-
Gus ducks, but DR.. Morrison ad-
mitted that his happy hunting
ground was in the Kings river coun-
try, where deer seemed to be plen-
tiful, but probably will not be for
long because numerous Indians are
hunting in the district now. He
brought down fine five-point ami.

companied him, got a three-poin,

GRAPE JUICE MAKERS
ARE COURTINC TROUBLE

Those who would provide them
selves with "fruit juice" or perhaps
grape jelly or any other product of
grapes which in pre-prohibition days
were used for making wine, are
counting trouble in Humboldt coun-
ty, according to E. ]. Cooper, in
ternal revenue collector who has
been here for several days checking
up on tax matters. Not that they
will get into trouble for making the
grape juice, for that is permissible
under the law, SO long as it is not
permitted to ferment and is solely
for family use, but because the
makers are not complying with the
law by declaring that it is their in
tention to make not more than 200
gallons Of the juice. There is no
tax on any quantity up to 200 gal
Ions so long as such declaration is
made, but If the juice is found later
and no statement of intention had
been made to the internal revenue
collector at Reno, then a tax of 16
cents per gallon is levied with an
additional penalty of 30 cents per
gallon, or a mere matter of $132
for the privilege of having made the
juice. 1t costs nothing to make the
declaration of intention to make
the fruit juice, according to Cooper,
and may save considerable trouble.

HIGH SCHOOL To
INITIATE TONIGHT
Dance Tomorrow, Night; Musical
Enterprise Includes 81 in Clee
Club and Large Number
Out for Orchestra

The poor little freshman boys OF
the high school are wondering what
is going to happen to them tonight
for this is the night when they will
be officially initiated into that in
stitution of learning. So if Winnie
mucca residents hear strange noises
tonight they will know what is going
on. All electrical contrivances have
been banned at the high school this
year, so unless the upper classmen
have devised some new instruments
of torture the freshies will probably
be let off easily.
To compensate for the indignities
which will probably be heaped upon
them tonight, however, a dance is
to be held in the high schol audi
torium tomorrow night, and while ii
may not be said that the dance will
be in honor of the freshmen, it at
least has been arranged for the pur-
pose of making the new pupils ac-
quainted. Parents or guardians of
all pupils are invited.
Music will be an important part
of the instruction of high school pu-
pills this year, for not only will the
school be enabled to boast of an
orchestra, but also of glee club,
62 singers having signified their in
tention of taking part. For the or
chestra there are 18 violinists, three
mandolinists, one saxophonist, two
cornetists, one banjoist and a num-
Der of pianists, besides several
others who would play various other
instruments. These musical activi-
ties are under the direct supervision
of Miss Purtell, one of the new high
school instructors, who is a graduate
of the Chicago Conservatory of
Music and said to be utilizing un-
limited energy in passing her knowl-
edge to the pupils. Assisting her
are Sheriff and Mrs. Geo. w. Brady,
Mr.. Brady leading the orchestra and
instructing in violin and other in
strument playing, while Mrs. Brady
leads the singing of the glee club.

.GRAvEL|NG ROAD
TO PARADISE HILL
Both Contractors Have Completed
Grading and Are Ready to
Gravel, Stretch in Center
to Remain Unfinished

Work on state highway construc-
ton between this city and Paradise
Hill will go ahead rapidly from this
time on, according to Ken Hodg-
man, contractor who is building the
stretch Of road from this city to a
point twelve miles out.
At the present time grading of
the road is practically completed,
the graders having only finishing
work to do in addition to one rock
cut. The Hodgman gravel loading
plant, located about three miles out
of this city on the Toll House road,
is nearly ready for use and it is ex-
pected the actual loading of gravel,
to be subsequently spread on the
highway, will begin the latter part
of this week or the first of next. 1t
is anticipated that three months will
thus be consumed in laying gravel.
At the end of the 12-mile stretch
Immediately out Of this city which is
under contract to Hodgman there is
another 12-mile strip to the top of
Paradise hill under contract to John
Ross. Grading of this latter stretch
is also about completed and gravel
ing will be commenced during the
next few days.
Although both contractors have
IL miles of the route to construct,
it has been decided by the state
highway department that there is a
piece of construction almost in the
central portion of the road to which
the hauling of gravel would be too
expensive, so this piece of road,
while already graded by the con-
tractors, may not be completed this
year and may be let on separate
contract, for the reason that it ap-
pears that the cheapest mode of
construction would be to surface the
road with crushed rock gravel, ne
cessitating different equipment than
is now being used. Therefore Con-
tractor Hodgman expects to gravel
only ga miles out of this city,
while Contractor Ross will gravel
only 8h miles from Paradise Hill
this way, leaving six miles in the
center unfinished. It is probable
that this work cannot be accom-
plished until next spring, although
the highway board, which met in
Carson yesterday, may have made
other arrangements. If not, then
travellers must continue to use the
old road until some time next
summer.

time it is hoped to elect at least
eight more members so that the

CHINAMAN AND MEXICAN
TAKEN TO CARSON CITY

Sing Lee, an old-time Chinese
lodging house keeper Of this city
and R. DeLeon, a Mexican section
hand of Krumm, were taken to Car
son City yesterday by Chief Deputy
Marshal Fodrin after they had put
in two weeks at the county jail. It
had been expected that both would
stay in Jail here pending the con-
vening Of the federal grand jury,
but informations were filed against
both by the United States district
attorney which will bring them to
immediate trial.
Sing Lee was arrested two weeks
ago by local officers when his lodg-
ing house became the rendezvous
of many Indians intent upon becom-
ing intoxicated. Many times prior
to then the aged Chinaman had been
warned against having drunken In
dians about his place. It seems that
the Indians procured a Chinese
medicine" from Sing Lee contain
ing 30 per cent alcohol, and after
buying it stayed in his house until
drunk and troublesome. Conse-
quently the information filed against
Sing Lee reads that he is charged
with selling intoxicating liquor to
Indians.
The Mexican, DeLeon, was arrest
ed by Sheriff Brady at Krumm and
is charged with unlawful possession
of a moonshine still Of small
capacity.
Both will be tried at Carson City
in the federal court.
