RADIO DANCE MUSIC NEXT
SATURDAY NIGHT MAYBE

Antenna wires have been strung
over the top of the Nixon opera
house by Manager II. c. Oasrler for
the purposes of testing the posi-
bilities of radio for dance purposes
Every night between the hours Of
8 o'clock and midnight, and some
times later, there is excellent dance
music coming through the air, with
XIII at Los Angeles regularly
broadcasting Art Hickman's orches-
ira at the New Biltmore hotel of
that city, while also from that city,
at various hours on differen. days
of the week XII broadcasts the Abe
Lyman Cocoanut Grove orchestra
dance music from the Ambassador
hotel. From San Francisco, KPO
broadcasts dance music from the
Palace and Fairmont hotels, while
KGW at Portland is represented by
music by the Olsen jazz orchestra
playing at the Hotel Portland. Van
couver and Calgary, Canada, come
in here like ton of BRICKS" while
eastern stations are not so reliable,
depending upon atmospheric condi-
tions. This broadcasting is accom-
plished by what is known as remote
control and comes direct from the
various dance floors of the hotels
named. The method used is to
place a micraphone, or large tele-
phone, in the center of the orches-
ira, the sounds are then transmitted
to the broadcasting station over
telephone wires and then released
through the air, travelling at the
amazing rate of seven times around
the world in one second of time.
OF course the music is the best OBJ
tainable anywhere and right up to
he minute as the fads in dance
music change.
Under the direction of Vern
Hursh the radio apparatus rs to be
out in shape at the Nixon tomorrow
night and if everything goes right
and the installation is deemed suffi-
,iently good a radio dance is in
prospect for Saturay night. If not,
other music will be provided and
The radio held over until such time
Is it does come in sufficiently well
for dance purposes. &

FEELING" is BETTER FOR

Although cattle sales have not
Been numerous and the price has
been anything but satisfactory, as
4 whole the feeling" in the Nevada
livestock market is improving stead
ly, according to men who are in
position to know. If California
yets a good rain the sale of feeder

'ay. Many CATTLE buyers have
been in this vicinity recently, but
few sales have been recorded.
Sales of lambs, it is well known,
have been particularly advantageous
sheepmen of this state and the
fact that the wool outlook is salts
factory is gratifying. Foreign wool
sales have been high and strong,
prices being offered in the United
States at the present time being
relatively low. Fall clips in Texas
are being bid for at 35 cents a
pound, with the large accumula.
tions not yet offered for sale. This
would make the 38 cent level for

seem low, and manufacturing stocks
running low because of no sales al
the price offered it is the hope OF
sheepmen that higher prices may
soon be obtainable.

LARGE PAYMENT
MADE ON BUCKsKIN
Sum Well Into Five Figures Paid
to Clinch Sale of Buckskin
National Mine from Bell,
Stauffer, Humphreys

Although first payment Tor the
Buckskin National mine was not
due from the California National
Gold Mines Company until Novem~
Der 20, apparently no chances were
taken by the management of the
latter company and settlement of
first contract requirements was
made yesterday in this city when
President Burns (initials unknown)
of the California company gave to
officers of the Buckskin company
check for a large sum of money,
the exact amount of which was not
given out for publication but which
was well into the five figure range.
The Buckskin National mine, now
known as the California National
is a gold property accredited with
great quantities of rich ore and
was taken over under a bond and
lease arrangement by the California
company more than year ago. II
is located 25 miles east of Paradise
Valley, over The IIinckey summit
and on the Buckskin mountain
Since the lease became effective
great amount CT camp and road
construction work has been carried
on and a mill for the reduction of
ore erected and put in operation.
Mining and milling activities are
progressing steadily at the present
time, though the amount to which
concentrates are running has not
been made public The California
National company is close Ger
roration, which probably accounts
for the lack cf publicity connected
with the mine development.
Under the terms of the bond
and lease arrangement. under which
the company undertook t. develop
the property ano erect the mill the
first cash payment, as said, was to
become due on the 25th of this
month, in additions to specified inn
provement work, on the lease and
option forfeircd. Hereafter every
sly months other payments will be
due, and because of the amount of
yesterdays payment it is safe to say
that the company intends to meet
future payments regularly.
Principal benefciaries of the pay
ment made yesterday are w. j. Bed
of this city, who has for years car
ried on work at the mine with his
associates; Ed Stauffer of this city
and Jordan Valley, Oregon, and H.
Humphreys of Reno.
The mine has, in years gone by,
produced quantities of ore which
was hauled to this city and shipped,
but the expense of hauling over the
extremely heavy grade at Hinckey
summit and the long haul to this
city showed that such procedure
was huge waste of money, depict
ing the mine without profits COM
mensurate with its worth.

BROWN WEDDING
AT ALMA MATER

Merwyn II. Brown. son of Mr..
and Mrs. T. d. Brown of this city,
and Miss Grace Mary Brown, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred A. Brown
of Aurora, Illinois, were married
in Palo Alto, California, yesterday
afternoon, by DR.. d. d. Gardner,
chaplain of the Leland Stanford Jr.
memorial church. The bride was
attended during the ceremony by
members of her sorority, the Delta
Delta Delta, while Mr.. Browns
fraternity brothers in the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon provided the best
man and ushers. A. reception was
held in honor of the newlyweds at
Mrs. Browns sorority house fol-
lowing the ceremony.
In attendance at the wedding
were the brides parents, while Mrs.
7. d. Brown accompanied her son
to the college city for the cere-
mony.
The romance which thus was
brought to a happy climax began
when the couple met while attend
ing classes at Stanford University,
both being graduates of that insti-
tuition. After journeying to points
of interest in California for two
weeks they will return to this city
to take up their home.

LOAN ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS
RAPIDLY BEING CLOSED UP

The affairs of the Northern Ne
vada Loan Association, which dur
ing the depression of two years ago
functioned splendidly to prevent
disaster in the ranching and live
stock industrise by utilizing govern
ment and private funds for financ-
ing men engaged in those indus
tries, at time when loans from
other sources were a practical i'm
possibility, are rapidly being
brought to close with the inten-
tion of finally returning capital thus
used to the stockholders of the as
sociation, according to j. Sheehan
of the First National Bank, secre-
tary and moving spirit of the or
ganization.
At one time the association had
loaned to stockmen the sum of
$4,000, but an orderly reduction
of this amount during the last 18
months has brought the amount
down to $235,00O, with further re-
ductions being made almost daily.
Probably a few months more will
be required to completely close up
the outstanding business.
Through this orderly reduction
stockmen of this state have been
carried over extremely dangerous
times, and as time was taken to call
in the loans at periods when the
stockmen were in good position to
pay off their Indebtedness, or as
other funds became available to re-
new same, the business of this sec
tion has not been seriously inter.
fered with and failures have beer
exceedingly few. The fuuctionine
of the loan association has proven
to have been very potent factor
in the maintaining Of stable busi
ness conditions and the fact thai
banks of this state now are enabled
to take care of the financial intri
cacies involved in the withdrawing
of the association Is Evidence that
the situation has very apprcciab,y
improved.

BACK BROKEN IN
AUTO ACCIDENT

Gerald Palmer, who was injured
when the Hirzel automobile, driven
by M. M. Paul, overturned on the
Victory highway Tuesday evening,
is reported late this afternoon as
"about the same" but because of
the fact that the young mans back
was broken in the accident he is in
a very preearious condition. His
parents have been summoned from
Doney, Calf, but have not ye. ar
rived here. Because of his injuries
Palmers lower limbs are complete
ly paralyzed.
The accident happened while Paul
was bringing Palmer in from the
ranch, he being employed there as
a carpenter. Another car had been
passed, necessitating travel in the
soft gravel portion of the road,
which probably caused Paul to lose
control of the car.

MULLEN s TRIAL
IN COURT TODAY
Man on Trial for Murder of Col
conda Section Hand; Case Will
Probably Go to Jury Some
Time Tomorrow

The trial of the state of Nevada
VS.. Pat Mullen, charged with the
murder of Jose Sefare, Mexican
section hand of Golconda, is being
conducted today in district court
before Judge ]. A. Callahan. APP
pearing for Mullen is Attorney C.
E. Robins, while the state is prose
cutting the case through District At
torney L. G. Wilson and his deputy,
j. A. Langwith.
At late hour this afternoon the
state had not yet closed its case
against Mullen. To follow this will
be the examination of defense wit
nesses and the testimony of Mullen
himself, so that the case probably
will not go to the jury until tomor-
row afternoon at the earliest.
Jurymen hearing the case are
Gordon Davey, Mrs. Grace Patton,
L. Oroz. w. d. Zuick, r. o. Nor
rail-, Joseph Baker, S. F. Seibert,
Rufus Stevens, Guy Hill, Chris
Lane, Robert Kneike and Mrs. Edna
Miller.
Attorney Robins, appearing for
the defendant, said today that while
Mullen has not yet been on the wit
ness stand he will testify that his
story told at the preliminary hear
ing. wherein he accused another
Mexican of the crime, was untrue
and that instead he will admit that
he killed the Mexican and claim
self defense.
Earlier this week a jury in the
district court found Tim Tompkins
not guilty of having murdered Mrs.
w. E. Tregaskis, basing their ver-
dict upon the opinion that Tomp-
kins shot in seR defense.
One other trial in district court
was concluded during the week, be-
ing the case of the Western Pacific
Railroad company against Louie
Poi to recover the value of sugar
alleged to have been stolen from
the company's freight cars and in
turn used by Poi in his restaurant.
The jury found in favor of Poi and
denied the railroad company any
relief.

MURDER NOT CAUSE
RENO MANS DEATH
Coroner's Jury Leaves But Two
Suppositions in Death of M. D.
Fairchild, Reno Banker
Accident or Suicide

Search for a murder angle to the
death of Mahlon d. Fairchild, Ne
vada banker who was found dead in
his automobile in the outskirts of
Reno early Tuesday morning, was
brought to an end yesterday when
the coroner's jury after hearing the
evidence in the case, brought in a
verdict that the banker "came to
his death as the result of a gunshot
wound inflicted in a manner un-
known to the jury but without GRIM
lnal means or agency"
Story Is Told
The story of the case, as told by
the witnesses examined, follows:
Earnest Cesmat, II, told of finding
the body of Fairchild, seated in his
automobile in Newlands Heights,
Tuesday morning, after a milkman
had called his attention to it. He
notified the police, he said, and
Chief of Police Kirkley responded.
Chief Kirkley, taking the stand
said he found the body in a reclin-
ing position in the front seat of the
car. A coat was pulled up over his
breast, he said, and he called T. w.
Fitzgerald who identified the body
as Fairchild's. While at the scene
a young girl came and told of the
finding of a revolver by her father
the evening before. With Sheriff
Hillhouse, Kirkley said, he secured
the gun and took it to the Stock
growers Bank for Identification. The
bullet, taken from the rear seat,
was of the same calibre as the gun,
he said.
DR.. S. K. Morrison, who with DR..
Alex Mcintyre, performed the
autopsy described the bullet wounds
and explained the course the slug
had taken through the body. 1t en-
tered the left breast, one and one
half inches below the nipple and one
inch to the left and emerged from
the right side of the back. 1t broke
the sixth rib, passed through the
ninth dorsal vertebra without in
juring the spinal cord, and punc-
tured both the tips of the right and
left lungs. 1t struck no vital struc-
ture excepting the lungs and death
was caused by hemorrhage. The
wounds were not necessarily fatal,
he said. He thought it possible for
a man to drive car three miles
with the wound, he said in answer
to a query. Fairchild's life might
have been saved if medical atten-
tion had been given at once, he
thought
Frank Collins, who operates
Reno loan office, told of selling the
gun found by the roadside to the
Stockgrowers Bank. j. d. Cam
eron, cashier of the Stockgrowers
Bank was unable to identify it posi-
lively, he said, although it resem-
bled the one which was missing
from that institution.
Blood Pool Described
Sheriff Hillhouse related how he
examined the place where the shoot
ing occurred and described a pool of
blood he found on the ground
The tracks of the automobile lead
ing away from the place were also
described.
II. H. Kenyon, Reno automobile
man, told the jury that he saw
Fairchild sitting in his car at about
3 o'clock Monday afternoon on the
Alum Creek road The car was
