which husband and wife grow to be alike, thinking alike

The lady is evidently lady of pose. The usual way
of putting pep" into movie life is to vamp other

IS ORDERED TO
LEAVE NEVADA

Answering telephone call last Fri
day afternoon Gardnerville resident
was notified to take his family and
leave the state of Nevada immediate
ly. This citizen, whose name is being
withheld from publication because OF
the undue notoriety that would result,
was Mortified at the unexpected mes
sage and Immediately sought the as
sistance of Sheriff Park. An attempt
was made to ascertain from whose
telephone the message was sent, but
the operator at the switch board could
not remember the instance.
The citizen who was ordered to leave
the community, has record of absolute
integrity, is man of Industrious hab-
its and cares well for his little family.
He attends to his own affairs and as
far as is known has never spoken an
i'll word against single person. His
habits are of the best and there could
be no cause for the unwarranted mes
sage.
He believed that the threat came
from an organization and prepared to
defend himself. The officers, however,
were not of this opinion and felt that
the message came from a different
source entirely.
Saturday at midnight when three
heavy charges of powder were dis
charged on the outskirts of town, the
citizen who had received the message
of warning, believed he was facing
immediate danger and so informed the
sheriff who went to his home and re-
manned there for some time. 1t was
later learned that the explosions had
been set off by young man intent
upon celebrating the success of the
high school fair, but in no way con-
nected with that institution.
The news that this Gardnerville cit
izen, who is honored and respected by
all, had been ordered to take his fam
lily and leave the state, spread rapidly
and aroused the ire of nearly every
man in this community, who expressed
willingness to give him aid and pro-
lection should it be needed.
Nothing further in the case has de-
veloped and the citizen thus warned
has been advised both by the officers
and friends to remain and continue his
work as he has done during the past
number of years, giving him assur-
ance that he will be protected in every
way.
This is the first time in the history
of Gardnerville that a citizen has re-
ceived warning to leave the state.
Had he been engaged in an unlawful
occupation or was an unworthy citi-
zen the fact that he had been warned,
would probably never have been pub
licly known. However, as stated above
he is not man of this type and his
fellow citizens stand ready to give
him full protection at any moment he
may require or demand it.

new CLUE TO
MENTA MURDER

After carrying a secret connected
with the murder of John Menta since
1914 for fear of his life, a man yes-
terday revealed story to Sheriff
Park and District Attorney Kricke.
that may lead to the apprehension of
the man guilty of committing one of
the most cold blooded murders in the
history of this county.
As result of this information coun-
ty officials are starting today to piece
together evidence that gives promise
of apprehending the murderer, and
substantiating the story told to them
late yesterday afternoon.
John Menta, a prominent sheepman
was found killed near the Mountain
House in 1914. Everything pointed to
the fact that the murder had been
committed elsewhere and the body
thrown in ditch near the old Willard
Mcdonald mine. A pistol was found
near the body to indicate suicide.
However, the wounds in the murdered
mans head were not the result of
bullet, but were made by sharp in
strument of some kind In the story
told yesterday it was stated that Men,
ia was killed with a hay hook by a
man still living but not at this time
in this community.

FOREST FIRE in
MOTT CANYON

c,orks from the stove of wood
..,,te,,s cabin started forest fire in
,bs Mott canyon back of Mottsville
Monday night, destroying the building
y. well as eighty cords of wood be-
,onginq to Arthur Brockliss and was
aoo, ont of control in the heavy tim
bor ON the mountain side. Men from
,he west side of the Valley were call
sd IN help fight the fire and while it is
st;ll burning, it is believed to be un-
der control.
About the same time three forest
s,es broke out in Alpine county, one
Of which was dangerously near Mark
leeyille and during Monday night res
dents of that town were prepared to
Ace to safety. The flames were famed
by heavy wind carrying the fire in
,be direction Of Markleeville. During
the night, however, the wind changed
and the fire was whipped in the oppo-
site direction. Other forest fires broke
ont near what is known as the old
Harvey ranch in that county and peo-
ple owning property in that section
fouqht fire from 3 o'clock Monday
morning until Tuesday evening with
hardly a moments rest.
II is reported here that the forest
fires in Alpine county were started by
a meteor but the report is not con-
firmed.
During the past summer while for
est fires were menacing other sections
the mountains adjacent to Carson Val
ley were practically free from fires
and the outbreak this week happened
at time when it was believed that
all danger had passed.
The forest department and every
available man in Alpine county gave
assistance in checking the fires in that
section and yesterday it was believed
that the flames were under control.

NOTES FROM THE
LUTHERAN CHURCH

1t Is said of Alexander the Great,
who in n period of ten years conquer
ed all Asia, that he ordered his right
hand be left hanging out of his cof-
fin to show that he had departed from
the earth empty-handed. He took
nothing with him, not even the great
est treasure given men of God.
Suppose a man be versed in all SCI
ences and skilled in all arts; suppose
he knew all the secrets of nature; sup
pose he find out ways and means to
dredge the Pacific ocean from pole to
pole. and to gather its treasures, what
at last is ne benefited by all knowi-
edge, if he know not how to obtain
Gods greatest treasure.
And suppose man would remain
ignorant of all worldly learning as a
newborn babe, but would learn the
wisdom and master the art, how to
obtain Gods greatest treasure, would
he not excel in knowledge all OF the
sages of the ages?
Is there such treasure? and how
do we obtain it? Sundays sermon
will answer the questions? Are you
experimenting such momentous
matter on which depends the life OF
the soul?
On Saturday the pastor will meet
with his classes at the usual hours
Sundays worship begins at 1O:3O am.
preceded by Sunday school at $3.50.
Visitors always welcome!

HUSSMAN WOOL
TOPS MARKET

George Hussman, through j. A. Car
dinal, local buyer, this week dispos-
ed of his wool clip to Koshland e. COM
pany of Boston for % cents pound,
the highest figure received by grow
er of this section during the present
season.
Last spring Mr.. Hussman refused
80 cents per pound for his clip, decid-
ing to hold it for a higher figure. For
time the wool market was dull and
prices tumbled perceptibly, and many
believed that the peak of prices had
been reached. However, during re-
cent weeks the market has advanced
and the price paid to Mr.. Hussman,
according to local wool growers is a
record sale.
Mr.. Hussman's clip comprises some
1900 pounds and is the best lot of
wool sheared in this section last
spring.

suggestive laugh or a laugh OBJ
tanned by the funmaker by obscene
or suggestive signs or remarks.
This is a laugh to be avoided, es-
pecially by the circus clown, whose
business it is to entertain the little
folks. Second, there is the clean
and hearty laugh. This last is
what we all strive to obtain by a
constant seeking of new material
and I want to tell you that it is
not always easy to get.
Some performances we may be
bubbling over with an over-exuber-
ance of jollity; we will be just
right in other words, and firmly
believe that we are going out on
the track and make that big audi
ence roar with laughter at our
foolish antics, foolish to all appear
ances, but carefully planned and
rehearsed beforehand.

ence with a shout, we go through
our stunts with doubled energy,
and yet the laugh does not come.

and there, but somehow We feel
