By the Associated Press
LEBANON. Pa, October 15.-work-
men yesterday discovered the body
OF Mrs. Michael Yellin, with her hus-
oand and 3-year-old son lying
unconscious beside her, in a gas-filled
room of their apartment here. Marks
on the woman's neck indicated, the
police said, that she had been choked
to death. The child was revived and
Yellin was reported last night to have
a fair chance for recovery.
Carpets and rags had been stuffed
into the cracks of the doors and
windows, leading the police to believe
that fellin had killed his wife and
then attempted to take his own life
and that of his son.

NEW YORK. October 15.-Out of
the northeastern sky today came to
New York a vision such as struck
terror into the hearts of combatants
in war time-a German dirigfble OF
monstrous size, her silvery sides
cleaning in the uncertain light of
the early morning.
There was the same drone of the
motors, slung in queer little tor
pedo-shoe affairs beneath the after
part of the hull. and the same easy
motion, like nothing else except the
gliding progress of fish through
still water. All that was lacking
was the booming crash Of the falling
bombs and the cracking of the anti
aircraft defense guns.

REVIEW OF CONDITIONS OVER NEWANDS PROJECT FOR THE PAST YEAR
Mrs. A. Harmon
Killed by Auto
Former Fallon Young
Matron Meets Ira
eic Death; Details
Are Lacking

Word was received in this city late
Sunday evening announcing tha
death of Mrs. Arthur Harmon at
Ontario Calf, suburb of Los An
geles. The kilograms announcing
this tragic ending indicated that Mrs.
Harmon had been struck or run
down by an automobile. The firs.
telegram gave notice of the accident
and was followed later in the eve
ming by the death notice. Mrs. Har-
mon was injured at or near o'clock
and death followed at 9 O'Clock that
evening
This word was received by both
the Harmon family and Mr.. and Mrs.
]. f. Mayfield Arrangements were
at once made to leave for Los An
geles and Mrs. Harmon and Mr.. May
field left that night, catching an
early train to California. They ex-
pected to arrive in Los Angeles some
time Tuesday.
AS little or no details of the acct
dent have been available 1t is pre-
sumed that Mrs. Harmon was struck
or run down by a machine either
coming from or going to her home.
Her husband, Art Harmon, who has
been in the vocational department Of
the army training, lately had to re-
enter the army hospital, and Mrs.
Harmon has been making daily trips
to visit her husband 1t is the sup
position that she met her death com
ing from the hospital.
Mrs. Harmon was favorite daugh-
ter of this city AS Miss FRANKIE May
field she attended the high school,
was social favorite and upon her
marriage to Arthur Harmon the
whole community joined in wishing
them prosperity.
The young people have been max
ing their home in the southern city
believing that Mr.. Harmon's health
would improve. as he has been suf-
fering from effects of war expert
ences and has been close to the hos
pital services of the government.
The death of Mrs. Harmon has
naturally been the theme among the
people of this section. 1t is expected
that word will be received from Mrs
Harmon or Mr.. Mayfield giving the
details of the fatality and also as to
the arrangements for the services.
Up to last evening no word regarding
the accident or arrangements had
been received.
Mrs. Harmon is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Mayfield of this
city. AS a small girl she moved here
with her parents from townsville,
Calf, where she was born 26 years
ago last July. As a school girl a
high school member and member
of the younger set she was always a
prime favorite and her death has
shrouded the entire community In
sorrow
Aside from her husband. her
mother and father and one brother.
Waldo Mayfield of this city, a son
four years of age survives. That the
sympathy of the entire people is ex-
tended to the bereaved one does not
do justice 10 the words.
1t is expected that full details Of
the fatality will be known in this
city today when arrangements for
services will be known.

County Roads
Show Growth
Gravel and Dirt Roads
Mark Headway; Pro-
gram for 1925 to be
Considered

While the county commissioners
and Charley Howard are figuring
more graveled and graded roads for
the use of the county this coming
year. the results of this past year in
road building through the efforts of
the county authorities is worth re
view.
Where roads were considered any
thing but a pleasure a few years ago
through the sections of the county
not considered by the highway de-
partment, they are today in practi-
eally as good condition as the state
highways This condition is possible
which has proven a natural cement
gravel binder and useage has shown
that roads constructed of this mater
ial have withstood some of the hard
est draft in any part of the state.
Only lack of funds has prevented a
larger county road program and this
coming year will have program set
for general utility by the commits
sioners at their January meeting,
when. the new board takes office.
The past year has resulted in four
and a half miles of gravel road being
laid together with resurfacing and
maintenance in several districts The
four sections. north east, south and
west have each been considered and
gravel is considered as this will
consequence.
The road east. or toward Still
water, received the largest appliea-
tion of gravel if the recently laid
gravel is considered as this will
make two and half miles spread
and graded during the year.
The question of direction from this
new point will be entirely in the
hands of the new board of commis-
sioners, as there is argument as to a
north or east route on this particular
road.
The section south received one and
three-fourths miles of new gravel,
making one of the best highways in
the county Districts north and west
We're each given attention and gravel
has been spread over the graded sur
face. In every instance there has
been laid and placed in commission
the best county roads found in the
state.
During the years work between
twelve and sixteen miles of dirt
grades have been thrown up. At least
half of this grading was prepared FEY
gravel when It is available, and the
other section can be regarded at
small expense to receive gravel.
The road program for the coming
year will undoubtedly figure exten-
sions of the roads now put to use and
gravel viii be supplied according to
the money available from road funds
The results of the past year are en-
tirely satisfactory and the county is
to be congratulated on the excellent
work that has been done by the retir-
/ ing members Of the board of commits
sioners

BENEFICIAL STORM
FOLLOWS COLD SPILL

The zero and worse weather that
visited the project and the whole OF
the state gave way Monday to q
warm spell that brings the weather
back TO the spring line.
The rain of Monday and early
Tuesday morning about cleared up
the frost and is regarded as extreme
ly beneficial to the valley as a whole
The rains and soft weather has
started some flood water down the
Truckee and Carson rivers. The
Truckee canal is carrying an in
creased amount of water and ii is
stated that the flow from the Carson
will add materially to the storage
that is being taken care of at the
dam.
Thirty-six inches of snow is re-
ported at the s. P. summit while
most of the recent snow deposited in
Truckee has been washed off by rain.
Predictions are for more rains on
the coast and interior points with
snow flurries in the mountains.
Word from the head of the Carson
indicates that there is a heavier snow
deposit there than at the Truckee
line, which should bring a good
spring run off to this section for
storage. Carson valley has had more
moisture than in several seasons
which will allow for less early irriga-
tion and a better flow from the Car
son.
The only individuals who are reg
istering a complaint are the young
folks who sharpened up their skates
anticipating continued cold weather

EALLON TEACHER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE AT ELKO

Miss Adele Clinton, teacher in the
Fallon high school who is in Elko
county, had a very narrow escape
from freezing to death during the
so degrees below period in LaInoille
valley.
While visiting her brother, who
has charge of a substation, she at
tempted to snow shoe from the La
moille store to the power plant. She
became exhausted in the snow and
when found by her brother was in a
serious condition.
One foot was badly frozen, but
late advise indicates that no serious
results will follow. She was taken
to Elko for treatment.
The many friends in this city will
be pleased to know that the young
lady will suffer no serious injury
from her experiences in the zero
weather of Elko.
