Meeting held in Governor Scrug-
hams office last Saturday. F. N.
Fletcher, formerly of the tax COM

retary. The meeting was called to
order by Governor Scrugham. Some
time was spent in general discus
sion which embraced in addition to
the purposes of the commission its
scope and methods.
The commission decided to in
vite public officials and private in
dividuals to submit in writing sug-
gestions for retrenchment in public

was taken on the matter, it was the
sense of the commission that study
and investigation shall include mu-

SEEKING RELATIVE
| OF DEAD SPA PAN|ARD
Ygnacio Ytza Killed by Mad Bull
on Fallon RAanch and Brother
Is Believed to Reside in
Paradise Valley

Wounds inflicted by a savage bull
with which he had been fighting on
the E. S. Hartman ranch west of
Fallon resulted Saturday night in
the death of Ygnacio Ytza, farm
laborer, a few hours after he had
received the injuries. Ytza's abdo-
men was torn by the BULBS horns.
The gate behind which the bull
had been kept confined had been
left open, according to Don Gabiola,
employed on the Hartman ranch
with Ytza. The unfortunate man
was trying to drive the animal back
into the pen when he was knocked
down, it was said. Ytza thereupon
attacked the enraged Holstein, ac-
cording to the story told by Gabiola,
and received the fatal thrust from
the animals horns. His partner ran
to Ytza's assistance and secured
help. Physicians were unable to
save his life.
Ytza was 81 years of age, un-
married, and a native of Spain. He
has brother believed to be in Par
adise Valley to whom news of
Ygnacio's death will be carried if
the brother can be located.

US. SUPREME COURT
REJECTS LETHAL GAS CASE

Associate Justice McKinnon OF
the United States supreme court has
denied permission to attorneys for
Gee Jon and Hughie Sing, Nevada
Chinese, to take Nevada's celebrated
lethal gas law to the highest court
for determination as to its validity
and, under a rule of the court
which allows attorneys to present a
petition to the other justices, At
torneys James Frame and Fiore
Raffetto have asked Chief Justice
Taft to allow the case in the high
est court.
Chief Justice E. A. Ducker of the
state supreme court has granted an
additional fifteen days before the
remittitur is sent down to the Min
eral county court in the case. I'm.
less further proceedings were in
stituted by the attorneys for the
condemned Chinese the Mineral
county court would then fix a date
for the execution at the state
prison.
1t is said, however, that Frame
and Raffetto plan to attack the
lethal gas law after the remittitul
goes down on the ground that the
title of the act does not cover the
subject matter.
The time under which the remitti.
tur would be sent down without
the fifteen-day extension would
have expired Friday.
Thomas Russell, Mexican of Elko
must die by lethal gas for the kill.
ing of Mamie Johnnie, an Indian
girl, unless the state board of par.
dons and parole commissioners com.
mute his death sentence, the SUI

hearing to the Mexican.
As soon as remittitur is sent
down to the Elko county district
court date for the death of tho
Mexican will be set.

ELkO EXPECTING PROHI AK
TO FALL MOMENTARILY Y

With the blow which is expected
to make quite dent in the bootleg
business in Elko scheduled to fall
within the next forty-eight hours,
the city is filed with an air of ex-
pectancy, all trains being watched
for arrivals who might be the fed
eral officers with the fatal papers,
which will mean abatement to sew
eral Elko business establishments
and the arrest of large number
of owners of these and other estab-
lishments to face charges of violat-
ing the federal Volstead law.
The informations against some
fifteen or twenty local persons were
filed in the federal court in Carson
City last Friday, and were sched-
uled to be served today, along with
the abatements which were filed by
the United States attorneys office
at the same time.
Just what Elko establishments are
inVoiVed IN Inese proceedings could
not be determined, although it is
understood that information was se-
cured on the majority if not on all
of the bootlegging soft drink par
lors in the city by federal opera
tives who were in this city during
the booze conference at Carson
City.
1t is also understood that abate-
ment proceedings have been insti-
tuted not only against those places
which were offenders last time, but
in addition to large number of
those who will be brought up for
the first time in answer to these
charges.

MISS NJ. MORRISON
MARRIED ON COAST
Welded Thanksgiving Day to Auto
Accessory Dealer of San Fran

Celebrating a Thanksgiving we'd

recently resident of this city, was
welded to Chas. Johnson of San
Francisco, dealer in automobile
accessories, according to word re-

brother of the bride, who practices
dentistry in this city. Immediately
after the ceremony the newly mar
ried couple motored to Sacramento
to visit other relatives and then
started on honeymoon automobile
tour of southern California, upon
the completion of which they will
take up their residence in San Fran

Miss Morrison is well known in
Winnemucca and counts an excep-
tionally large number of people
here as friends. She came here
eight years ago from Nebraska
joining her mother and brothers

she left here a few months ago

VETERANS BUREAU
DUE FOR CLEANUP
State Legion Commander Duane
Bush Returns From Washing-
on Fallon Ranch and Brother
Headquarters in East

Duane Bush of this city, secre-
tary of the w. T. jenkins Company,
and state commander Of the Ameri-
can Legion, returned last week from
an eastern trip taken for the pur-
pose of attending to company busi-
ness. In Washington he was the
guest of Senator Tasker L. Oddie,
who has been engaged as a COM
mittee member in the investigation
of the veterans bureau, an inquiry
which has, by the way, brought out
to public gaze several varieties Of
official neglect, stencil and graft in
the conduct Of government relief
for disabled war veterans. Bush
was privileged to attend sessions of
the investigatio nand says that
opinion prevails that those accused
are undoubtedly guilty and that in
addition to cleaning up of the
veterans bureau it is probable that
the senate committee will recon-
mend that the department of justice
start criminal proceedings against
several accused of corruption and
graft. The investigation has shown,
Bush says, that the claims of the
American Legion were well founded
in regard to official neglect of
wounded men and that one good re-
suit will be a general betterment of
such relief work. Senator Oddie,
ne said, was in excellent health and
working industriously getting mat
ters in shape for the converting of
congress.
Commander Bush also spent
day in Indianapolis visiting the ma
tional headquarters of the legion.

cause of the change, but instead
the papers are to be put in the
postoffice because such delivery has
proven to be much more satisfac-
tory to the. subscribers themselves.
We have learned that it is possible
to secure one good conscientious
delivery boy in about every twenty
employed. And when q boy is that
good it isn't long before someone
finds it out and makes a better
place for him. In the summer
time subscribers come into the
office all worked up because the
boy threw the paper (or the wind
blew it) under the lawn sprinkler.
On windy day complaints are worse
than upon calm days., leading to the
belief the that wind is an enemy to
the carrier boy and frequently is
responsible for complaint when
in fact the paper was properly
delivered. In the wintertime COM
plants are always worse. The boy
is cold and wants to get home to
supper. Or it is showing and the
paper is covered with snow be-
fore taken in. Perhaps it is thaw-
ing and a dry place cannot be
found upon which to throw the
paper-result, wrathy subscriber.
And the funny prat of it is that
many subscribers never blame the
elements or accident, or even the
carrier boys themselves when they
are at fault, but appear to think
that 1t is a personal matter be-
tween themselves and the publisher
perhaps that the publisher didn't
want them to get their paper, or if
he did, then in an unreadable con-
1tion.
Many subscribers have been lost
from these causes, while loss of
nail subscribers is practically nil, so
judgement dictates the change.
For the present the subscription
price will be left as it is-25 cents
per month or $3.50 per year-until
iuch time as a permanent publi-
cation policy can be determined
upon.

The change from the once week.,

about by insistence of advertiser,
that they did not have proper op

because the infrequency of issue
many times prohibited the adver

.PERSH|NG' s HAY
IS QUARANT|NED

With a general quarantine against
Lovelock alfalfa because it contains
the alfalfa weevil pest, ranchers of
that district will either have to go
more extensively into the dairy
business or give up growing alfalfa
in favor of some other crop, ac-
cording to w. r. McCulloch of that
city, who is here today after having
purchased feeder cows in Paradise
Valley. At the present time there
has been considerable alfalfa sold
in the Lovelock valley, he says,
and estimates that there is now not
more than one-third of the total
crop unsold. The average price for
alfalfa has been about $3.50 per
ton in Lovelock, not much more
than the cost of production.
Mr.. McCulloch bought about 225
head of cows from the Schwartz
ranch in Paradise Valley, which are
now being driven to this city. 1t is
his plan to ship them to Lovelock
tomorrow for feeding purposes. He
did not state the price paid.
J. D. Minors cattle are on the
read to this city today from the
McDermitt section, and will also be
shipped to Lovelock, Mr.. McCulloch
said he had been informed, Mr..
Minor having heretofore purchased
hay there for feeding.
Pershing county hay growers,
after obtaining a reduced rate on
hay to eastern points, have received
word that hay buyers in the central
part of the United States have
placed a quarantine on their prod
uct, and that this years crop is
now likely to remain in the valley.
This information reached the Reno
offices of the Southern Pacific Com
pany yesterday, according to the
Gazette of that city.
Hay produced in other sections of
Nevada is not affected by the East
ern quarantine, according to Reno
information, and Fallon, Fernley
and Washoe county hay can be
shipped to all eastern points at the
special low rate, which goes into
effect in about three weeks. Perish
ing county hay has been tuaran-
tined in California for several
months and it was the hope of the
growers that the product might be
disposed Of in Missouri, Iowa and
Nebraska and adjacent states.
The alfalfa weevil, with which the
Pershing hay is said to be contain
mated, does not make it unfit for
consumption, but the quarantine is
put on in an effort to prevent the
spread of this pest. Because Love-
lock growers expected to sell their
hay in eastern markets, little of
their product has been sold to cattle
men for feeding, and the growers
are said to be now facing worse
situation.
