HUGHIE SING SENTENCED
TO DEATH BY LETHAL OAS
Continued from Page One
were looked after by J. M. Frame, who
was retained by .the tong to which the
two men belonged.
Much local interest was manifested
in the case as Hughie Sing is a local
Chinese boy, having attended the pub
lic school here and is the son of a
laundryman of this city. It was not
known that he belonged to any tong
when the murder was committed and
the general belief is that he was in
duced by older tongmen to help carry
out the deed with Gee Jon, who, it is
admitted, fired the fatal shot. Young
Hughie acted as guide because of his
knowledge of condition at Mina.
The murder stirred up local Chinese
to a point where doors were barred and
every strange Chinaman was watched
both by his tribesmen as well as by
the local authorities. The killing at
Mina was undoubtedly the culmination
of a long fued between the several
tongs of this state and California.
Young Sing had never been in any
trouble in this city. His uncle, Buck
Sue, and several other Chinese were
present at his trial.

HISTORY OF INDIANS
Fred DeLongchamps and associates
who have a lease on the Comstock '
Extension property in Brunswick Can
yon, left for the property today.
During the past week the men work
ing on the lease finished cleaning the
old tunnel on the 100-foot lvel of the
property. After driving a few feet
they broke into two feet of shipping
ore. It is to inspect this latest find
that the party left today.
Early in the fall a shipment of high
grade was made to the smelters from
the surface workings. The new find
seems to be a new ledge and there is
every reason to believe that it means
an extensive ore bodv.
Assays as high as 425 ounces have
been made from the new development.
It has started things moving again in
the Brunswick district.

Progressive Business Club members
through securing Dr. S. L. Lee of Car
son City to address them yesterday en
joyed a unique treat in learning of the
Indian history of the state and also
of the Indian art, now nearly a lost
one, says the Reno Journal.
Dr. Lee is one of Nevada's real pio
neers, coming to this state in 1870,
and through his close association with
the Indians all his life is now consider
ed as one of the greatest authorities
on Indian history in this section of the
country. At his home in Carson City,
Dr. Lee has a collection of Indian bas
kets and arrowheads, especially arrow
heads, that is unequaled in the whole
country.
First Hand Information
Most of Dr. Lee's information was
gained from an Indian- called Washoe
Charlie, better known as "Poker"
Charlie through his exceptional skill
at this game. Washoe Charlie .was an
inveterate beggar, according to Dr.
Lee, and being one of the oldest and
best educated of the tribe on tribal
history, he commercialized his knowl
edge. He would tell anything as long
as you paid him, "and his charges were
small. If you wanted half an hour's
talk it would cost you in Charlie's lan
guage "four bits." If you wanted less
the would gie you a "two bit" talk.
From Washoe Charlie, Dr. Lee
learned the Indian legends regarding
the history of the tribe, the good and
had spirits and how the bad spirits
caused the downfall of the tribe.
Making Arrowheads
The making of the Indian arrow
heads and arrows and implements was
described in detail just as he had seen
them made by Washoe Charlie. Dr.
Lee told of one implement which is
used for lilting hot rocks in and out
of the cooking utensils. An Indian
went 150 miles on horseback to get
ne for him and then charged him
twenty-five cents for it. Very few In
dia-ns would sell these implements, and
Dr. Lee tried for manv months before
he could finally secure one.
As Dr. Lee was physician at the In
dian school for seventeen years, h
was well known by tne Indians and it
was in this way that he was able to get
his information. Many wonderful ex
atnples of the Indians' art in making

That Reno is to have a Stanford
club was the decision of Stanford men
and women graduates at their meeting
held at the chamber of commerce in
Reno Tuesday night. A goodly number
were present and the meeting was en
thusiastic from start to finish, the
Journal says.
A committee was appointed to draw
up a constitution and by-laws and will
report its progress at the next meeting
to be held on February 2. At this time
a permanent organization will be ef
fected and it is believed that the club
will have a large membership as there
I are many local business and profes
sional men and women who attended
that university.
The next meeting will be called to
order at 8 o'clock in the evening of
February 2 at the chamber of com
merce club rooms.

His War Bonnet
One ot Dr. Lee's most prized posses
sions is an Indian war bonnet made of
beaver skin, which denotes courage.
In this beaver skin are almost fifteen
eagles' feathers which a chief could
receive, one at a time, after extraor
dinary heroism in battle. Dr. Lee re
ceived this bonnet from Alec Fleming.
who killed this chief after growing up
with him. The chief was one of the
greatest Piute warriors, but he and
the white man were arrayed against
each other in a battle in which just
the two met. He killed the chief after
his horse had been killed bv the chief.
I ins nappened near t eavine in tne
early '60s at the time so many of the
whites and the government troops in
that section were slaughtered.
In closing. Dr. Lee told of the life
of Captain Jimmy and Captain Pete,
father and son, the son now being the
head of the Washoe tribe.
The musical selections were fur
nished by Misses Alma and Margaret
Wagner, piano and violin players.
Miss Margaret Wagner on the violin
gave a masterly interpretation of the
"Barcarole" from the Tales of Hoffman
and auto Amoroso, another opera
selection. Both selections received
great applause and were enjoyed by
all.
MOTOR VEHICLE LAW
VALIDITY QUESTIONED
A request for a ruling on the legality
of the state motor vehicle law in so far
as it relates to enforcement of collec
tion of fees has been received at the
office of Attorney-General Fowler from
District Attorney Summerfield of
Washoe county.
At the last session of the legislature,
a new act was passed regulating motor
rchicles in this state, statutes of Ne
vada, 1921, page5 375," writes the dis
trict attorney.
"This act expressly repeals all for
mer acts relating to motor vehicles
and unfortunately the general penalty
section, which has heretofore been con
tained in the motor vehicle acts, has
been omitted in the new act. The only
penalties provided are by section four,
which specifies a fine of not less than
$10 or more than $25 for manufactur
ers or dealers permitting the use of
dealers license plates otherwise au
thorized by the act, and section fifteen,
which provides that for reckless driv
ing, driving by an incompetent person,
an intoxicated person, and a person
under sixteen years of age, the license
plate may be removed and restored
upon payment of $10.
Will you kindly advise this office
of any mode of enforcement of the other
provisions of the act?
I call your attention to section 6288.
revised laws of Nevada. 1912, provid
ing that whenever the performance of
any act is prohibited by any statute
and no penalty for the violation of such
statute is imposed, the committing of
such an act shall be a misdemeanor.
You will note that this general section
of the law ' is limited to 'prohibited
acts.' I assume, therefore, that in en
forcing the new motor vehicle act, we
can work under tha't section so far as
it relates to prohibitions therein con
tained, such as. for instance, reckless
driving
"This method of enforcement, how
ever, will only cover a portion of the
act. The point we are most concerned
with at the present time is the collec
tion on the annual licenses for auto
mobiles. Section two of the act pro
vides for the registration of cars and
the obtaining of licenses but nowhere
is it made an offense to operate a mo
tor vehicle without obtaining such a
a license. In other words, this section
is merely mandatory and contains no

CONCERT BY WIRELESS
The county scat of Elko county may
not be in a position to support such

a number of its citizens from listening
to two selections by Mischa Elman, the
world renowned player, and in doing
so were obliged to go no further than
the Elko aviation field. The concert
that was listened to was taking place
in far away Stockton-Cal., and the en
