Which her age was thirty -four,
And her face with tears was laden,
Which right down her face did pour

novel bad man. Stafford Eustace
Severn, alleged border rum and dope
smuggler, marched obedIently into
a cell in the Third precinct last
night, ending search for him that
lasted more than year.
Despite a military mustache,
which is part of the makeup of
fiction bandits" Severn did not
look the part he is believed to have
played along the Canadian border
where he Is said to nave led a gang
in bringing narcotics into this coun.
try.
Handcuffed to Detective Sergeant
Bernard w. Thompson, Severn was
brought into police headquarters
last night. He appeared indifferent
when his name was placed on the
blotter, and still less so when he
was taken away in a patrol wagon.
The alleged dope seller was ar.
rested at Union Station in July,
1922. Soon afterward he was in.
dicted and released on $4,000 bail.
When his case was called for trial
he had disappeared.
Police and agents of Joseph Tor
rillo, the bondsman, trailed Severn
all over the country, through Can.
ada, and finally brought about his
arrest in Vancouver, British Colon
bia, as an undesirable citizen. He
was taken into custody by Detec
tive Thompson.
While being sought by his bonds
man, it is said, Severn was arrested
by New York authorities on a rum
running yacht. He was lodged in
the jail at Pittsburgh, N. Y, but
sawed his way to freedom.

A special session of the watel
board was held late Saturday after
noon with Assistant State Engineer
Muller In attendance from the Car
son office. He came as representa-
tive of the governor in an effort to
secure water for the bench and Fern

1t was explained that by cutting a
bypass from the lake around the out
let and taking off from an inch and
a half to two inches of water that IL
would save the crops on the bench
and around Fernley. This would be
temporary relief until the pumping
plant is installed which will be ap

the present time. Crops are suffer

not put into use owing to favorable
rains coming at the time. There Is
reason to hope that the concessions
will be granted which would furnish

Quarantine Rules
Remain In Force
No Cattle Imports Will
Be Allowed

The quarantine regulations of
Churchill county have been strength
ened by the action of the county COM
inissioners in declaring an embargo
against any cattle being imported
into this county from California
points. This action followed propo
sition to ship in a considerable num-
Der of feeders from the dry sections
OF northern California on leased
lands and hay fields.
The clerk of the board wired DR..
Records of the action and he in turn
advised them that no permit would
be issued. Last Saturday Governor
Scrugham advised the county board
that he would resist any importa-
tions of cattle from the west and that
the quarantine would be held until
the counties felt that they were safe.
Recent Outbreaks
That California has not cleared up
the situation in regard to the foot
and mouth disease Is shown by the
daily report from the Citizens Elmer
gency Committee. which states that
outbreaks continue in the Haynes
district where $50 COWS were de-
stroyed last week. In the Clearwater
section 50 cows were destroyed while
in Fresno county herd of 204 cattle
and five hogs was found infected and
destroyed. Additional outbreaks con-
tinue in the infected area of Los
Angeles and Fresno county.
No cases of the foot and mouth
disease were reported from the north
ern part of the state, except In rres-
no county, since last Friday. From
all indications 1t Is under control In
that part OF the state.
In the south the disease seems to
be slowly dying out. there having
been only few cases comparatively
in the last few days, and all these
have come from the Haynes district,
where there are a large number of
dairies close together, and where the
infection was carried and many con-
facts made.
With the new system of guards for
each dairy in the infected area, and
careful patrol Of roads through these
areas, 1t is felt that in very short
time all infections will be stamped
out and new contacts will be pre-
vented.

as 1t is either a go or not, and II the
program is tackled then 1t must be
laid out with system and order.

best. Be at the meeting, that is what

Mining In Churchill Attracts

From every indication Goldbasin
within two hours drive of this city
will be the next real mining camp al

the earmarks of another mining
camp are to be found in Goldbasin
1t Is the rumor that several deals

been lacking since the fret discovery

Schuyler Lee, who was in from
Goldbasin Saturday for additional
supplies. stated that he expected to
have the washing plant in running
order on the Wilson ground within
the next ten days. He also stated
that recent developments on the bed

ell than has been uncovered before.
1t is his opinion that the washer will
be a success as similar machines op-
crate successfully In the American
Canyon section and at Copper Can

engine which has been installed and
water is hauled to the mill, where II

of June.

TO this territory to make a survey OF
the weevil and the plans for extin-
gushing IL.
Experimental spraying in two
fields has been started near the race
tracks. The fields are on the ranches
of Messrs. Raffetto and Ramelli. The
spraying will be done under super
vision of Mr.. Snow and Thomas E
Buckman, Washoe county agricultur.
al agent The results of this spray
ing are TO be watched carefully for
the next few days before the spray
ing on an extensive scale is taken up
says the Journal.
Fifteen Washoe farmers have
made applications to have their fields
sprayed and these will be attended
to In the order received unless a
field joins or is near where the
spraying is being done and then II
will be sprayed before the machine
is moved to another locality, Mr.,
Buckman announces.
Mr.. Snow is just back from trip
into the Boise valley, Idaho. and
brings the report that the weeyil IL
quite bad in that territory and that

TO SELL POPPIES

The American Legion Auxiliary
will sell poppies on Thursday and
Friday of this week and the poppy
is distinguished by the tag bearing
the Legion emblem and the world
In Memorium."
The American Legion is endeavor-
ing to fix In the minds of the public
that the poppy worn on Memorial
Day is symbolic of the great world
war and also that 1t is the official
flower of the American Legion.
The American Legion makes but
one annual appeal to the public for
financial contributions. 1t is not a
selfish request. This year it is in
behalf of those who cannot ask for
aid-the orphans of war. 1t asks
for money to care for and educate
the growing army of war orphans.
The American people are asked to
wear the poppy on Memorial Day as
a symbol of the heroic dead who
offered their lives for us in the late
war.
The choice of the flower is appro
pirate from the fact that SO many
fields of France are stained red by
the brilliant carpet of popplies. Their
red may be said to stand for tht
blood so freely shed

Lincoln Highway
May Withdraw Funds

For some time there has been
hanging fire certain contracts in this
county and over the state whereby
Lincoln highway funds designated to
certain sections would lapse unless
applied to road building. The fol
lowing from the Reno Journal indi-
Gates that unless action Is taken on
several projects that the money will
revert:
Expiration of the time limit on
the various agreements previously
entered into between the state of
Nevada and the Lincoln highway as
ISOLATION whereby the latter prom
ised to provide certain sums for the
Improvement of specified sections of
the Lincoln highway across this state
may result In a goodly sum being
lost. The limit expires on June l..
and the directors of the association
have practically agreed that no ex-
tensions of time be granted.
Although 1t was decided at the
annual meeting of the Lincoln high
way association held at Detroit,
Mich, on December s, 1928, that
June / would be the last date al
lowed for Nevada to provide its quota
OF funds. and the association has
offered no encouragement that II
might be induced to reverse its stand
and agree to grant additional time,
the state highway commission has
made request for additional time.
If Nevada cannot find a way with
in the next week to secure the funds
oct aside 1t is likely that the remain
ing funds in trust will be set aside
for possible use on roads in western
Utah.
Communications have been trans
mitted to the officials of the Lincoln
highway association by the state
highway association, and all com
munities along the Lincoln highway
in Nevada have been requested to
wire the association asking for a
reasonable extension Of time to per-
NIT completion OF the projects now
under way.

HIGHWAY EAST NEEDS
STATES ATTENTION

The Christensen contract on the
asphaltic highway east of this city
needs state attention. For the past
year this section of highway has been
torn up and in an unfinished state.
Following the work of the winter
the road has been practically closed
and in almost an impossible condi-
tion owing to some row between the
contractor and the state.
1t is time to put this In shape and
settle the difficulties later. The peo-
pie complain of the lack of finish
and there should be no further delay.
The state highway departments at
tention is called to this matter.
