MISS HOLLOWAY
HOLDING HER OWN
High School Student Injured When
Crushed Between Auto and Star
Hotel Building in Valient
Fight for Her Life

In a gallant fight against odds
for her life, Miss Eula Holloway,
popular member of the Humboldt
county high school senior class, who
was seriously injured last Saturday
evening, is reported today to be
holding her own and hope is held
for her recovery.
While on her way home, in COM
pany with a number of friends of
the student body, from a dancing
party at the Nixon, Saturday even
ing, Miss Holloway became the vic
time in very serious accident
which occurred when an automobile
piloted by S. Krites, an inexper-
fenced driver and reported to have
been in an extremely intoxicated
condition, crashed into the party and
pinned Miss Holloway to the brick
wall on the north side of the Star
hotel building. The violence OF the
impact was such that a number of
serious injuries were sustained by
the unfortunate young woman, in
cluding fractures of the thigh bone,
several broken ribs, a broken col
larbone and bones Of the right arm,
as we'll as serious internal injuries.
1t is reported by members Of
Miss Holloway's party that no effort
was made on the part Of Krites to
render assistance, but that upon
learning something of the havoc he
had wrought, deserted the car, leav-
ing his victim pinned against the
wall. Members of the party assisted
in rescuing Miss Holloway and in
removing her to the local hospital,
where medical aid was administered.
Upon warrants sworn to by S. F.
Holloway, father Of the young lady,
Krites was taken into custody, to-
gether with Leon Liotard, owner of
the car, and both men are being
held in the county Jail in default
of bonds amounting to $4,000 in
the case of Krites and $4,000 in
Liotard's case. No date for hear
ing has been set, pending the out
come of the injuries sustained by
Miss Holloway.
The Reno morning newspaper to-
day reported Miss Holloway as hav-
ing died, which story, however, was
entirely erroneous.

NEW Ne EWsPAPER
QUARTERS READY
The Silver State Now Housed in
First National Bank Buildine
Making Newspaper Plant
Second to No Other

Every effort is being bent to
put The Silver State plant in shape
for public inspection next Saturday,
so that we may humhly enter VIM
nemucca's long and ever-growing
list of Nevada's finest, for in our
new quarters in the First National
Bank building and our excellent
printing equipment we may safely
lay claim to the fact that no Ne
vada newspaper is housed in a better
building, is any better equipped,
nor occupies a more prominent To-
cation than does this one.
For more than a week the work
of moving the bulky printing plant
from the southeast corner to the
northwest corner of Bridge and
Fourth streets has been under way,
necessitating nearly complete tear
ing down and building up of large
machines and presses in use in this
office, handicapped by the inter-
fering activities Of painters, car
penters and electricians. However,
the machines were reassembled and
the power turned on last night, and
with few more finishing touches
and final cleaning up tomorrow
the shop should be in shape to
proudly display and explain to we
hope admiring visitors along with
the greater attraction of the new
hotel on next Saturday.
Of course, with less than twenty
four hours to issue this newspaper,
it is nothing to brag about, but
things will soon be running smoothly
again.

HAV|LAND WILL Be
C|TY'S Ne " MAYOR
Garage Owner Defeated Councilman
E. p. Sites by Slight Majority;
Smith, Minor and Loinaz to
Be New Councilmen

Winnemucca's city election, held
last Tuesday, will be remembered by
this city's oldest old-timer as the
tamest and quiestest election ever
held here. In fact, from all out
ward appearances, stranger would
not have known that an election
was being carried on, and this in
contrast with previous like contests
when the whole state sat up and
took notice at the warmness of
elections in this city.
The result at the end of the days
vote casting showed c. e. Haviland
had won in the mayoralty race
against E. P. Sites, 265 to 262. In
ward one E. A. Smith was elected
over s. G. Lamb, 1877 to rs, while in
the third ward B. ]. Loinaz won
over Ben Gillian, la to 10. There
was no contest for councilman in
the second ward, j. D. Minor win
ming the office unopposed. Ward
one cast 81 votes for Haviland and
120 for Sites; ward two, Haviland
64, Sites 65; ward three, Haviland
10, Sites II.
The new city council will thus
be made up of c. E. Haviland,
garage owner and former mayor of
| this city; ward one will be repre-
sented by E. A. Smith, also a
garage owner; ward two by ]. D.
Minor, retired cattle man and capi-
talist; and ward three by B. J.
Loinaz, owner of gents furnish
ing store, wool buyer and sheep
dealer, who was also former coun-
Gilman.
Mayor Haviland ran as a "pacifst
candidate" in that he will endeavor
to heal all old feuds created by
former heated election contests and
continue the city government upon
fair-to-all basis, avoiding con-
troversy in as great degree as is
possible by an elected official, and
do at all times those things which
will conduce to the greatest degree
of prosperity for this city. Prior to
election day he announced these
things, which seemed to meet with a
great degree of approval.
Concerning probable appointments
of city employees, Mayor Haviland
has said that be will recognize the
voice of the people by naming N
P. Moore as chief of the city police
department, believing that the peo-
pie showed their desire in this re-
spect when they elected Mr.. Moore
constable at the last general elec-
ton. Miss Fanny Harp, city clerk
VIM. Akin, city superintendent, and
A. Livingstone, city police judge, also
have proven efficient in the opinion
of Mayor Haviland and will be
named by him for re-appointment.
The members of the new city
administration will go into office
on Monday, May 81, rather than on
the date of the first meeting in
June, as is generally supposed, the
law providing that office be as.
sumed on the date of the first regu.
lar meeting following the election
date.

LEGION ISSUES
FAK|R WARNING
An American Legion press bulletin

An American Legion press bulletin
says:
The National American Commits
sion desires to call your attention
to the many organizations through
out the U. S. who are ostensibly
collecting funds for charitable pur-
poses; for as a matter of fact these
funds are being used to spread
foreign anti-social propaganda which
is detrimental to American institu-
tions.
The people of the United States
are the most charitable people in
the world and take pleasure at all
times in giving until it hurts for any
humanitarian cause. There are
organizations in this country for
this very purpose of high standing.
These organizations are headed by
prominent Americans whose in
tregity and honesty cannot be ques-
toned. They are the outcome of
years of work and operate on the
soundest economic basis. Their
scope of operation extends all over
the world. Their agents are paid
experts in their line of work. Every
penny of moneys given to them is ac-
counted for. have in mind organi-
cations such as the American Red
Cross and Secretary Hoover's organ
ization for the relief of starving
Russia. These organizations are
ADLER and more capable of spending
the American dollar for the purpose
for which it was given than any
other.
On the other hand, there have
sprung up recently, many organiza-
tions such as the Friends of Soviet
Russia, who proclaim a purpose of
collecting funds for the starving
children of Russia. There is no
necessity for organizations of this
kind except to give employment to
various sovietists and communists
who continue to spread in under
hand fashion communistic propa-
ganda throughout America. There
is no necessity for any organization,
other than those whose operation
cannot be questioned.
A moving picture called "Russia
Through Shadows is nothing more
or less than communistic propa-
ganda. 1t is owned by the society
called the Friends of Soviet Russia,
who are spreading insidious Bolshe-
vistic propaganda throughout our
land by means of moneys collected
through various methods. Included
among which, is the exhibition OF
Russia Through Shadows" 1t is
very important to our Americanism
work that this propaganda be com.
batted on every side.
1t is incumbent upon us to pro-
tect the American people in their
charity and to advise them fully
upon this question.
All legion posts should be on the
lookout for such appeals for charity
and investigate same thoroughly.
GARLAND w. POWELL
National Director
Americanism Commission,

Legion members are warned to
be on the lookout for Clement l.
Culers, formerly of Houston, Texas
who is wanted for passing fraudu
lent checks in that city. He carries
a paid up card from Sam Houston
Post 1876, Department of Texas, and
we believe he will try to pass other
checks in other cities so we are
broadcasting a warning to the pub,

travelling at a rapid rate of speed

pital for further treatment.
