was about "a years of age and her
description fits young man recent

He is married and known to the po-

Miss Isaacs was suffering no i'll
effects from her experience on Mon
day although she was still nervous.
The bicycle which the man aband-
oned was found to be the property
of Magistrate Arthur Hatfield Of
Blades which was stolen last Thurs
day in Blades.
The attempted assault is very sim,

Mildred Paradee, of Seaford, some
time ago, and the police are work
ing on the theory that the same man
is responsible in both instances.

SOFIA DRIVES OUT BEGGARS

Sofa, capital of Bulgaria, grew
impatient with its beggars and at
one fell swoop abolished them from
the city. This city of some 100000
population sent 200 able-bodied beg
gars to work. There were so who
were really helpless physically, so
these were gathered up and taken
to monastery to be cared for by
the state. The "pan-handlers" dis
as if by magic at the COM
mand of the police, and to prevent
their carrying on their profession
on the sly citizens were requested
to give aims to no beggars, but to
report them to the official authori-
ties,-The Pathfinder.

to inoculate and not after the dis
ease has appeared, according to Off
Gals. Often times, Mr.. Wilson
states, an animal in a herd of cot
tie will die from anthrax indicating
that it is present in the herd. Then
although the remainder of the herd
is inoculated, sometimes the ami
mails are so debilitated having the
disease germ possibly in them, that
they fail to react to the incubation
and sometimes die.
1t is a general belief that the ex-
traordinary number of flies and
mosquitoes this year has been
largely responsible for the trans
Of anthrax.

FARM NEWS

A much greater quantity of high
grade alfalfa could be produced and
marketed profitably in the United
States, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture believes, if
producers would study market de-
mands and make their production
and loading practices conform to
the market requirements. Hay deal
ers in all the big MISUNDERSTANDING
markets receive each year thous-
ands of orders for high-grade alfalfa
hay which can not be filled because
of an insufficient quantity of hay of
this hgrade. The chief demand for
baled alfalfa hay is from dairymen,
and large numbers of them who
now depend largely upon mill feeds
as sources of protein would doubt
less become buyers of alfalfa if sup
plies of a high-grade hay were
available.

DEATH TAKES
CLARK PIONEER

Death claimed Harry w. Weineke
well known pioneer Of the Nevada
desert this morning, at the Hewet-
son Hospital, at the age Of 78
years.
Due to general poor health
Weineke has resided in Las Vegas
at the Overland Hotel for the past
seven months, but prior to that
time he hao been associated with
the Searchlight Mining district,
and with Eldorado Canyon for
some 80 years.
Harry was one of the few old
timers left, and he could tell some
exciting tales Of early day ad-
ventures in the canyon.
In spite of his age, he managed
to retain a sunny, cheerful dis
position which continued to make
friends for him, until it may be
said that they are legion, and his
passing will leave a vacancy
which cannot be filled.
1t is known that he had one
brother, H. F. Weineke, living at
Pit. Townsend, Washington. Some
members Of the family will arrive
this evening and funeral arrange
ments will be made at that time.
The body is at the Las Vegas
Funeral Home.

HAITIAN COFFEE
CROP BIGGEST
IN HISTORY

PORT Az PRINCE, Haiti, Dec.
l, (R-King Coffee scored heavily
in the final balance sheet for
Haiti's fiscal year. which ended
September 80. With an average
crop Of 6T,000,000 pounds of the
aromatic berry for the preceding
period of ten years, this years
crop reached the maimum in all
of Haitian history with the bump
er crop of 100000 pounds.
With an export tax averaging
two and one-half cents per pound,
coffee contributed 70 percent of
Haiti's export revenue in the last
ten years, and the influence of this
years phenomenal crop may be
easily realized.
With this dominant factor the
year closed with record figures in
customs receipts, while the inter
nal and total receipts also reach
ed new figures.

VEGAS WARNED
AGAINST FRAUD

Vegas Credit Bureau takes this
opportunity Of informing the peo-
pie that there is a representative
Of the Metropolitan Automobile
Association in the city selling
contracts.
A representative of this same
concern was here about seven
weeks ago. Some of the purchas-
ers questioned the purchase they
made and asked this office to get
information about it.
We have written to the home
office in Los Angeles FOUR times
asking them to send us a copy Of
the policy which constituted the
contract issued to the purchaser
and they have failed to do so.
They sent us some of the sales
literature.
1t is our opinion that the lin
itations in the policy do not give
the purchaser what he thinks he
is purchasing from the sales liter
ature displayed. We advise that
you insist on seeing a copy Of the
complete contract before you pay
out your hard earned money.
Those who have purchased
should report TO this office If they
wish to determine facts in the
matter.
It would seem if these people
have nothing to cover they would
have complied with our request
to forward a policy.

SPARKS WINS
GAME THURS

The Las Vegas High School lost
the state football title to the
Sparks eleven Thursday afternoon
after a hard struggle.
Weakened by the sickness of
first string men the local team
fought a losing struggle against
an aggregation Of superior strength
and experience.
For the most part the game was
played IN Vegas territory, Sparks
pushing the ball over the line in
the first, second and fourth quar-
ters of the game but each time
failing to score the extra point.
In the third quarter Vegas raj
Lied, taking the ball to Spark S
four yard line with four downs to
make the touchdown. On an at
tempted end run the Vegas man
was thrown for loss and soon
lost the ball TO Sparks.
A noticeable event during the
half interval was the crowd OF
youngsters who took possession OF
the field and proceeded to display
considerable football skill. 1t is
these boys who, growing up in an
atmosphere of the grid sport, will
in a few years make football his
tory for Las Vegas High School.
The local team fought with all
their strength and spirit through
out the game and deserve great
praise and encouragement for fu-
ture football seasons.
