M. OLDS in
AUTO WRECK

Merritt Olds of this place was seri-
ously injured in an automobile acci-
dent Sunday afternoon, and Is now
confined to his home with several
bruised ribs and other injuries.
Returning from Wellington with
Earl Friend in the latter's Ford, Mr..
Olds endeavored to exchange places
with the driver at a point this side
of the Mountain House. While making
the change the car was travelling about
twenty miles an hour and In some
unacceuntable manner he lost control
of the machine, which plunged from
the road and overturned, pinning Mr..
Olds beneath It, Friend was thrown
clear of the car and managed to re-
lease his companion, who was bleed
ing from the ears and suffering Sc
verely from his hurts. They started
to walk to the Mountain House for
help and after going a short distance,
Mr.. Olds found it impossible for him
to proceed further.
About this time car headed for
Gardneryille happened along. the
driver of which was a Reno physician.
He gave first aid to the injured man
and brought him to Gardnerville.
While Mr.. Old's injuries are of pain
full nature they are not serious and
he is reported to be doing nicely.

SMITH VALLEY PEOPLE
DEVELOP PAINT NINE

A new industry is coming to the
front in Smith Valley, which may de-
velop into large and paying proposi-
tion, says the Yerington Times.
A large body of mineral paint has
been known for a number of years to
exist in the hills about three miles
south of Reading Brothers Store at
Wellington. The property has been
located several times, but very little
development work was ever done.
Some two or three years ago, Cecil
Kicker made two locations which
cover the best part of the deposit and
about two weeks ago he gave bond
and option on his holdings to W. II.
Yarco of Reno Mr.. Yarco has put on
force of men for the purpse OF de-
termining the extent of the deposit and
from present indications, the deposit
is much larger and of better grade
than was anticipated and IT is quite
probable that regular shipments Will
start In the near future.

COUNTY BOARD
AUTO SMASH

AS a result of youthful hiliarity, a
Ford car driven by Theodore Anderson
crashed into Dodge owned by l.. NJ.
Jacobsen parked in front of DIR. F. H.
Bakers home on Main street Monday
evening. The driver received numer-
Gus cuts about the mouth as we'll as
having several teeth knocked loose.
Joe Woolverton was thrown through
the windshield and received several
cuts on the head, requiring numerous
stitches to close the lacerations.
Harley Harris and Hardy Everett, also
occupants of the W. F. Anderson car,
escaped uninjured.
As near as can be ascertained,
Hardy Everett was riding on the run
ming board of the Anderson machine.
Theodore Anderson. who was at the
wheel, in a playful mood. was endeav-
oring to cause Everett to Jump from
the running board. While he was thus
engaged the machine left the cement
highway. Everett was first to notice
that a collision with the Jacobsen
car was unavoidable and yelled to the
driver at the same time jumping from
the running board. Before young An
derson could regain control of his car,
it crashed into the rear of the Jacob
sen Dodge. which was parked at an
angle Of forty-fve degrees at the side
of the street, the force of the impact
turned the Jacobsen car almost COM
pletely around, tearing off the tire
carrier and mashing in the gasoline
tank
Members of the Gardnerville literary
club were holding a meeting at the
Baker home and hearing the cars
crash, rused out, and offered assis-
tance. Woolverton was blinded by
blood running into his eyes and was
taken to the home of Henry Bruins and
a physician summoned. That neither
of the boys were seriously hurt is a
matter Of good fortune.

INDIAN CHILD
in HOSPITAL

After spending half her life of three
years in a plaster Of paris cast. Eve
lyn Miller, Gardnerville Indian baby.
will not be forced to leave the Chill
dren's hospital at San Francisco just
because the United States government
hasn't the money to pay for her board
and room.
The strings of red tape that keep
other than San Francisco children
from the hospital, were hastily cut a
few days ago, to keep this happy lit
tie Washoe girl the pet OF the institu-
ton. under care of physicians until
she is completely we'll.
Evelyn is toe small to know OF her
escape from death. A year and half
ago she lay in the arms of her mother
in a tent at the Gardnerville Indian
camp She cried piteously day and
night, while her mother, Ruebelle Mil
Ter, waited for the end. The end was
close when Mrs. James K. Jenkins,
wife of the superintendent of Nevada
Indians, found her there.
Old squaws. fearful OF the white
mans medicine, shook their heads
when Rubelle was persuaded to allow
her child to be taken to hospital.
Pullman passengers scowled as the
cries of the baby cut into their sleep
and hurrying commuters gaped in
wonder as the Indian mother with a
papoose hurriedly followed Mrs. Jen-
kans through the Ferry building at
San Francisco.
DR.. George ]. McChesney, head OF
the st. Lukes hospital in San Fran
cisco recognized that the infant was
suffering from a spinal trouble and
operated Immediately He said frank
ly that the outcome was doubtful.
Today Evelyns recovery is assured.
1t wasn't several days ago.
The fund provided by the United
States Indian service for the care Of
such cases was exhausted. 1t appeared
that Evelyn would have to be taken
from the hospital when oily a few
more months and few more plaster
casts needed to allow the backbone to
knit into normal shape.
The Shrine children's hospital was
filled, with many on the waiting list.
She could not be taken there.
"No, we're sorry" officials at the
Childrens' hospital told Mrs. jenkins,
I'VE want her to stay. but the rules
won't permit 1t"
More visits were made to high Of
ficails. More red tape. More plead
ings.
She's not a San Francisco child"
was the answer.
"But she's been here more than a
year. How long does 1t take to be-
come resident of San Francisco?"
Mrs. Jenkins asked
The powers that be in the institu-
ton capitulated.
Now the little Indian girl will stay
until the twist is gone from her spine,
If there is money or no money to pay
for the expert attention. The Indian
service has the word of the Childrens'
hospital, a contract stronger than any
of its red tape. that Evelyn will stay
until DR.. McChesney pronounces her

Driver Todd piloted the specially
equipped highway truck to Glenbrook
Sunday. reaching the shore of Lake
Tahoe at 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon.
The ten men who made the trip
were Obliged to shovel snow only
about a block on the way to the lake.
They found the snow on the road
only twenty inches deep. Sand was
sprinkled freely where it will do some
good. At present neither automobiles
or ordinary trucks can be driven over
the summit, but continued fair weather
and no more snow will make possible
auto trips to the lake soon with little
difficulty.

ORGANIZE
BOY SCOUTS

r. H. Condie, Deputy Regional Scout
Executive. representing the National
Council of Boy Scouts of America, was
in the valley Wednesday, in the inter-
est of the organization, and has the
backing OF the American Legion in his
work.
1t is the plan Of Mr.. Condie to Or
ganize a leadership of twelve or more
business men of the community, who
will foster the boy scout movement.
The object of this organization is to
have men with influence to act as
scout masters, drill captains. and at
tend to the many details of scout
patrol and company.
There are at least seventy boys in
this valley over the age of twelve
years. and three good companies could
be organized. Mr.. Condie further stat
ed that patrols could be formed of as
few as six boys to work in conjunc-
tion with the larger companies, thus
giving the rural districts the same
privilege as the town work.
The object of the Boy Scout program
Is a most worthy one, as II has been
proven that in the states of Utah, Ari-
zona and California. where arganiza-
tions have been In existence for the
past several years, there are fewer
boys sent to reform schools, and less
crime committed by boys under age
than in communities where there is
no organized scout work. 1t provides
way to keep boys interested at the
age when temptation turks on every
corner, and forms the substantial
foundation for manhood that will make
for good citizens.
Mr.. Condie met with the members of
he American Legion Wednesday even
ing, and received their hearty coopera-
tion in this work. 1t Is expected the
organization will be completed within
a short time, and actual work Of re-
cruiting boys to membership will be-
gin.
