Tlnee "soft” drink men whose li
censes have been revoked for alleged
selling of "hard" liquor again made
application for licenses at the city
council meeting last night, two of
whom were flatly refused and the
case of the third laid over. Other
matters taken up by the council In
cluded the proposed purchase of a
new fire truck chasis, which now ap
pears probable. Fireworks which
were expected to develop because of
an attempted bribery of Mayor Bran
don did not materialize, he apparent
ly deeming it advisable to let th«
matter rest for a time.
Arthur English, proprietor of the
Oolden, and Juan Arranguena, for
merly proprietor of the Palace bar,
or more commondly known as tht
* ' Milk Shake." at Fourth and Bridge
streets, applied for licenses to oper
ate soft drink parlors, while John
Muguira, proprietor of the Riverside,
wanted a license to sell cigars and
candy and to run a poker game, the
only drink to be served to be water.
As will be remembered, an ordei
was made by the mayor and council
at the last meeting requiring English
and Muguira, against both of whom
complaint had been filed by Chief oi
Police K. O. I-anib, who declared that
booze was being sold at their place,
to furnish bonds in the sum of J20O0,
to be forfeited in case they should
be found to bo breaking the law ir.
.ike planner.
At the lime of that meeting English
refused to furnish bond, which action
.i.ialicully put him out of busines
n the 31st. l.ast night he asked foi
■t;:er license without bond, but ii
/us decided the former order should
nd and that he be not given a li
tense unless he furnishes bond.
It was while considering the case
of English thut Councilman Stites
said he "certainly would like to see
all these men in business,” but Coun
cil men Akin and Hoskins insisted
that the previous order stand.
Arranguena, whose license was re
voked the first of the year as a result
of his ulieged selling of moonshine
in his place of business, said lie
would not furnish a bond and his ap
plication was also rejected. During
discussion of Arranguena’s applica
tion Councilman Stites said he
thought it would he all right to grant
him a license, with the understanding
it would be revoked if laws wore vio
lated. Akin said Arranguena had
violated the law once and there is
reason to believe he would again.
Mayor Brandon said he had beA told
Arranguena owned the Oolden md
paid English by the day to run it.
Hoskins said the only way he would
favor granting Arranguena a license
would be for him to put up bonds.
John Muguira of the Riverside, the
♦bird whose license was revoked,
brought up a new phase of the ques
tion when through his interpreter,
one Bancroft, he applied for a license
to sell only cigars and candy, and a
license to run one poker game. There
being no provision made for this re
quest in the council’s previous order,
the matter was laid over. Muguira
agreed to serve only water to player

COLO SNAP WELL
Sheep shearing at the Wlnnemucca
corrals has been discontinued for a
few days on account of extreme cold
weather which began Sunday with
slight snow fall and high wind. The
storm continued yesterday and was
general.
So far as has been learned no losses
have been sustained by owners who
have sheared already. The report
was circulated that Pete Egosque had
lost a large number of sheep, but
upon search being made they were
found to be alright, having only
strayed away from the hearder. They
had been driven about ten miles out
on the range. The herder himself hav
ing been caught out in the storm
Monday night and was able to keep
from freezing only through constant
ly replenishing a fire built of sage
brush and such materials as could be
gathered on the ranee.
IJrandon's comment was that "you
can't tell what might be in the
water.” Akin thought the application
was “the same horse, but with a dif
ferent color.'’ lloslans forced,
Stites thought the proposition was
‘'different."
The city fire truck was discussed
again at great length, it being de
cided that Mayor Urandon should
write to different places to secure
data on a new engine to be placed in
the old chasis. M. R. Felts, whe
hauls freight for Miller & Lux, arosi
to the occasion and offered the coun
ril $1500 for the present fire truck
chasis, providing he might secure th(
same within the new few weeks.
Disposal of the old chasis being
one of the big items in the purchase I
of a new truck, the matter was im
mediately reconsidered. Councilmai
Stites was authorized to get into im
mediate correspondence with on(
Williams, representative of the Whitt
truck agency at Reno, who was her(
cbout two weeks ago trying to cell
a White to the city. Stites was alsi
Instructed to find out what payment:
would he required and how soon one
ould be placed in this city. The new
truck chasis will cost $4650, but b
guaranteed to perform the wiirk re
qulred in a manner satisfactory to
the fire department.
This turn of affairs greatly pleased
olunteer firemen who were present
and Frank Krenkel, who acted as
spokesman, promised the mayor and
council that if this new truck is pur
chased they would not ask for any
more equipment for some time. Tin
fire department Is now well equipped
with the single exception that the
truck has insufficient power, but the
purchase of this equipment has been
a constant worry to the council, the
matter of finances making rapid pur
chase difficult.
Another night watchman is to be
employed during the sheep-shearing
season and while so many men "out
of work" are going through on
freight trains. J. D. (Rawhide Jack)
Davis wat the only applicant for the
place and he was appointed for the
remainder of the term, his duties to
start tonight.

DICKER NAMED DEPUTY
SHERIFF BY BRADY
W. G. Ducker today assumed duties
as deputy sheriff, taking over the
care of the jail, which position has
been held by Victor Pinson since the
first of the year. It Is explained that
Pinson has not resigned as deputy,
but because of illness of his brother,
Clovis Pinson, he has purchased the
latter’s interest in the Pinson
ranches and these require his imme
diate attention. He expects to again
take up the duties as soon as per
sonal affairs can be arranged.
Ducker is a former resident of this
city, having been in the coal business
here. Recently he has resided in
Reno. He is a brother of Supreme
Judge Edward A. Ducker.
TO BE SENTENCED TODAY
William Freeman was arrested by
Sheriff Brady last Saturday night on
a charge of vagrancy, though the offi
cers suspect him of being a dope
peddler. On the way to jail he threw
away a bottle containing cocaine.
Freeman was taken before City Judge
Moore yesterday and admitted that
lie was a “booster” for gambling
games. Moore ordered him released
on his own recognizance, to appear
today at 4 p.m. for sentence, which
means he was given until that time
to choose between leaving town or
doing time in jail. Freeman is an
old-timer in Winnemucca.
MEXICANS SENTENCED
The two Mexican section hands
arrested last week after a raid had
uncovered a moonshine still, entered
pleas of guilty this morning and were
sentenced by Judge Lunsford, sitting
for Judge Callahan, to serve two
months in jail and each to pay a fine
of $100. Judge Lunsford explained to
the men that this is the minimum
sentence and is imposed because both
are married men. A second offense
will be dealt -with severely.

Thomas H. Shone was today ap
pointed a deputy county assessor for
the purpose of making a segregation
of the valuations in the new school
districts recently created by the

Probably certain people have for
gotten that they are minstrel fans be
cause it has been so long since they
had an opportunity to see a really
first-class minstrel aggregation— ^
however, the mistrel microbe will get
them when Rusco & Hockwald’s Fa
mous Georgia Minstrels make their
flash dress parade over our main
streets announcing their appearance
at the Nixon, Thursday, April 7. )■
“Questionable Amusement" at one ,
time was a common theme for de- j
bate, but the subject was never asso- I
elated with a minstrel for never since i
the history of the human race started j
has the form of minstrel entertain- '
ment been questioned. The ball game, |
the circus and the minstrel are three ;
forms of innocent amusement which
are patronized by tens of thousands
of people who hold aloof from other
attractions.
Creating qf laughter, the rendering
of tuneful music, charming songs,
comical stunts and curious novel
ties, constitute the purpose of the
minstrel. For this reason, time and
again in the professional papers the
performers and others engaged in the
Intimate amusement business have
t een assured by the government that
amusements of this character are not
(onsidered non-essential. No wonder,
in these strenuous times, the demand
for the minstrels is increasing until
it is impossible for the management
of a first class company like the Fa
mous Georgia Minstrels to fill one
half of the dates offered them. Peo
ple want to be entertained to laugh
and thus their nervous systems are
better tuned to the times.
With the Famous Georgia Minstrels
are associated some forty people, all
consisting of the very cream of the
negro minstrel profession, and after
all the negro is the natural musician
and minstrel of the human race, and
during the engagement here will
spring some more of their pleasing
surprises.

M’OEflMITT SAOBNED
BT A RECENT DEATH
McDERMITT, April 4.—McDermitt
has suffered the lost of a prominest
and much respected citizen in the
passing of Joseph Glacometto, Sr., on
Thursday sight at the home of his
son, Joe Glacometto, Jr. He was a
true and devoted husband asd father,
isdustriously applying himself to
whatever work he had on hand, con
scientious in his association with his
neighbors and all with whom he came
in contact—in general an all round
good citizen.
Joseph Glacometto, Sr., was born
In Italy, December 3, 1862. In 1884
he was married to Angola Diflllpe. !
In 1887 he went to South America,
where he was employed by a meat
packing concern of Buenos Ayres.
After remaining there about three
years he returned to Italy. A year
later he came to America and en
gaged in coal mining in Illinois,
where he lived for four years. In
1896 he removed to Coloiado and
lived there untill 1899 when he came
to Nevada, and settled In Paradise
Valley, purchased a ranch and en
gaged In the stock business, which he
followed successfully till he .old out
and removed to McDermitt alx>w* **ar
years ago to live with his sons, who
had purchased the J. D. Minor ranch.
Since then his health has been
poor, and last year In April he went
to California, hoping to benefit by
the change. He felt himself much im
proved and had decided to spend the
summer in McDermitt with his sons.
He had returned from Oakland about
ten days previous to his death, ex
pecting Mrs. Glacometto to follow
later. On the evening ot March 31
he had retired feeling unusually well.
In the morning when he did not come
to breakfast, one of his sons went to
call him and found that he had passed
away peacefully in his sleep.
He is survived by his wife and
two sons, Joseph, Jr., and Peter, a
sister, Mrs. Isabel Ilberto of Oak
land. California, and a brother, John
Glacometto, In Italy, whom he visited
on a trip to Italy several years ago.
Mrs. Giacometto, who arrived Sun
