MEETING OF NIXON OPERA
HOUSE TRUSTEES TONIGHT

A meeting of the trustees of the
Nixon opera house will be held to-
night to determine what disposition
is to be made Of the building now
that it has been definitely settled
that it belongs to the city of Win
nemucca. One suggestion made by
Mayor T. A. Brandon, who is one
of the trustees, is that the building
be turned into a civic center where
various organizations intent upon
civic betterment may meet. The
mayor states specifically, however,
that it is not his idea that the con-
duct of the building shall in any
way interfere with private business
enterprises now contributing to the
tax roll, but that it is bis belief that
such organizations as the Farm Bu-
reau, Civic Club and library, Vol
.unteer Firemen and the City Coun-
Gil may well use the building, each
sharing in the cost of the actual
upkeep. Other trustees have not
ben interviewed upon the subject, in
that their action tonight will prob
ably settle the matter definitely.

THREE CONTESTS
IN CITY ELECTION

When the time limit set for re-
ceiving nominating petitions for city
offices expired Monday night it de-
veloped that there are to be con-
tests for eletion in the instances of
mayor and for councilman in two
wards. c.. E. Haviland and E. P.
Sites will contest for the office of
mayor and S. G. Lamb and E. A.
Smith are opponents for council
man in the first ward. In the Sec
ond ward J. d. Minor is unopposed
for councilman, while in the third
ward Ben Gillian and B. j. Loianz
are opponents for councilman. So
far no tissues" have developed and
people generally are passive in their
interest in the election.
The election will be held a week
from next Tuesday, May 8, the fol-
lowing being the corrected polling
places and election officers:
First and second wards, voting
place Nixon opera house; Clerks,
Chas. Guthrie and Laura Adamson

WINNEMUCCA GETS
BEQUEST OF NIXON

A husband in Nevada may make a
voluntary disposition of a portion OF
community property, reasonable in
reference to the whole amount, ir
the absence of fraudulent intent to
defeat the wife's claims, the state
supreme court has held in an opin-
ion in which district court decision
is reversed and the Nixon opera
house is awarded to this city.
The opinion was written by Dis
trict Judge Mcnamara of Elko coun-
ty, sitting for Justice E. A. Ducker
and is concurred in by Justice Cole.
man and Sanders.
The case arose in May, 1907
when Mrs. Kate l. Nixon, filed suit
to set aside a deed of trust by
which the senator had presented the
opera house to the town of Win
nemucca. Mrs. Nixon and her son
Bertram, claimed that the deed was
of no value since it did not contain
her signature and they were sus.
sained by the district court.
After declaring that the husband
may make a voluntary disposition
the court holds that whether or not
gift is reasonable or unreasonable
is question to be decided by the
courts in each particular case anc
no hard and fixed rule can be lait
down as to just what proportion OF
the community interest can be sc
disposed of by the husband.

LOCAL PEOPLE PRESENT AT
FIRST HOTEL RADIO CABARET

Mr.. and Mrs. E. Reinhart, Mrs.
Fannie Holman and Miss Gene Cot
tier, all of this city, formed a din
ner party prominently pictured in
a two-page halftone contained in
the May issue of Radio Broadcast, a
New York magazine dealing with
radio topics, the occasion being the
Inauguration of radio entertainment
at the Hotel Bellevue at San Fran
cisco. The Reinhart party occupied
one of several dozen tables in the
hotel dining room, each table being
equipped with radio ear receivers.
The magazine says: "This is said
to be the first hotel in America to
equip its dining room with radio.
By using individual phones, the
guests may listen when they wish
to, but are not disturbed by a lound
speaker when they wish to talk-or
eat"
