That the farming class is the larg-

CASTLE ACHIEVES
UNDYINC FAME

Bill Castle, horticulturist Of
local celebrity. and who for the past
three months acted as caretaker for
the Carson Valley Game and Pro-
tective Association at the preserve
in the lower part OF the valley, was
in Gardnerville this week. He re-
ports the hunting season just clos
ed was one of the most successful
in the history of the club and he
take considerable pride in the thought
that he is responsible for at least
portion of this success.
Last summer at his Jobs Peak
ranch he planted patch of wild
rice which he had at previous times
crossed with plant having a heavy
content of alcohol. This he fed to
the wild ducks every Saturday night
and when the hunters showed up ear
ly Sunday morning they had the
pleasure of shooting at the most dar-
ing ducks ever known. On one or
:
Castle, hunters at the reserve were
actually attacked by hundreds Of
wild ducks and We're forced to fee
for their lives.
This is but one of Castles recent
achievements through his learned
knowledge of horticulture By TAX
ing an ordinary egg plant he sue
ceeded in developing a new variety
of that vegetable. The vines eurled
into a nest and the plants, usually
dozen in a nest, strongly resembled
real hen fruit. Bill got an idea after
viewing the result of his labor and
this year planted out about an acre
of the new vegetables. Coyotes from
the hole country fiocked to the ranch
last fall to devour the eggs The
vegetables were rank poison and be-
fore Castle knew what had happened
he had in his possession several
hundred coyote pelts worth seven
dollars apiece. AS result Castle
has the fattest pocketbook that has
been his pleasure to carry on his
hip in number of years.
In speaking Of the new duck feed,
Bill says he destroyed or fed every
kernel to the water foul, fearing that
he would be arrested for manu-
featuring alcohol unlawfully and had
no desire to go ahead under suspend
ed DOOM

SOBER GREETING
FOR new YEAR

The New Year was ushered in at
this place with an absence of the old
time merriment, probably due to the
fact that prohibition has a strangle-
hold on the community in general.
Not an intoxicated man was seen on
the streets and when the clock licked
in the new year. few of the more
enthusiastic fred a number of shots
into the night air. The old
year. with its joys and sorrows, its
advers.ties and prosperity slipped in
to past history. and the new year
started on Its journey that will
forth, we know not what. New
resolutions have been made and
probably broken before this date.
The country In general faces an

PRISONERS SKIP
IN BIG AUTO

Plotting a high powered automo-
bile, Robert Cole, an automobile race
driver, and his companion, William
J. (Jimmy) Clark, both conyicts at
the Nevada state prison. made a mad
dash for freedom from that institu-
tion Monday afternoon at o'clock.
The men made their escape after
working the farepart of the day on
the automobile. a Lincoln, belonging
to the prison. Cole, who is an ex-
pert mechanic, was trusty and be-
cause OF his ability In repairing
automobiles. had been placed In the
machine shop. Clark was not a
trusty but had been assigned for the
day to assist Cole.
Guards from the prison wall saw
the men drive away and In less than
10 minutes another machine, filled
with guards. was sent after them.
The machine shops where the two
men were working are not within the
prison walls but stand on a knoll at
the side of the prison. A driveway
leads from 1t to the Dayton road.
The Lincoln car was seen passing
through Dayton but from there the
trail was lost. leading the prison
authorities to believe that the men
had abandoned the car and taken to
the hills.
Cole was sent up from Elko coun-
ty last November for issuing a $73
check and was serving a sentence of
from one to two years. He has
served term In San Quentin prison
for burglary and was also in the re-
form school at lone. Cal. He is %
year old. He claimed to have driven
in the Indianapolis speedway races.
Clark originally was sent to the
prison from Washoe county October
5. 1921, when he was 20 years old.
He and a man known at Chick Will
son held up the Rio Vista hotel at
Sparks. He was paroled February
II. 1923. and again placed In prison
the following August after robbing

DANCE AT INN
Was ENJOYABLE

The New Years dance held at the
Minden Inn Monday night, was not
as largely attended as former oc-
casions of this kind, owing to the
fact that a heavy snow storm was
in progress during the evening,
keeping many at home who other
wise would have been in attedance.
The seventy or more couples that
did brave the storm, enjoyed one OF
the most pleasant dances ever held
at the Inn. The dining room was
artistically decorated for the oc-
casion and music was furnished by
the Everett orchestra. At midnight
the merry-makers we're provided
with horns and clappers and every
body joined In extending noisy
welcome to the newborn year. Mid
night supper was served.
